I'm moving there. I feel that Blogger is not keeping up with the times, and that its functionality is very limited.

Asians.
We study very hard,
and we work really hard.
We have no lives,
we have small eyes.
I made a rhyme,
so give me a dime.

I thought of that while travelling in the car this afternoon. Lol. It just came to me. Spent like 10 seconds to make it up.

I ranted a lot about my WoW experience with my priest in the previous post, and I'm going to rant even more now. Why the hell does the whole world roll on cloth? Holy paladins, restoration shamans, restoration druids and elemental shamans. Fine, maybe I'm exaggerating my experience, but I've seen a lot of such classes wear cloth items, even though I've never seen them roll on it. My patience just ran thin when I saw a restoration druid roll and win two pieces of cloth gear. My cries of a ninja went unheard, so I left. Pretty sadly, there wasn't a lack of healers in that raid, so my departure shouldn't have made much difference. By the way, I went through about 5+ raids, killed about 10 bosses, and I've only won 2 items. Considering I roll on 3 items per boss, I've only won 2 out of 30 items that I've rolled on. When things like that happen to you, you get pissed. You get annoyed. You feel like giving up. I rerolled.

Initially I made a hunter, this time on the Horde. Hunters have a rather low population on the server, and only two classes need DPS mail gear (if plate users don't roll on mail, that is). Then while leveling, I suddenly felt like playing a Death Knight, and playing it would also complete my experience with all the 10 classes of WoW. So far, being a Death Knight has been rather enjoyable in terms of its DPS and burst damage, thought its gameplay might be rather dull. I hit level 80 about 3 hours ago, and I still got a lot of reputation grinding to do.

I bet this stupid ninja crap wouldn't exist on retail servers. Or maybe it still does, on PUGs at least. So damn hard to find a guild which does raids. Even then, there's ninjas in the guild because the guild is just there for game's sake, and not there to be a "close-knitted community which has fun together".

I feel like I'm rambling meaningless posts nowadays. Bet WoW is the cause.

Lets go on to PSP games. That'll make my posts happier and livelier. I got the game "Me And My Katamari" a few days ago, and I completed it in 2 days. It isn't a very long or complex game, but it is a fun game. Basically, you have to help animals make islands according to what they want, whether its a hard island, a fast island, a cool island, etc. You're then sent off with a katamari to collect stuff to make that island, and you collect stuff by rolling that katamari around. You'll start off with a small katamari, about a few centimetres large. You start off in a house, then you roll around collecting stuff that is left around the house. Such stuff include pencils, books, food, insects, pins, nails, screws, hammers, and all other sorts of rubbish that humans have in their house. As you go around collecting stuff, your katamari gets bigger and bigger, and you'll be able to collect larger items. Eventually, you'll end up outside the house, where you get to collect items that are a few metres large. Soon, you'll get so big that you can collect humans, vehicles, houses, UFOs, planes, clouds, trees, ships, islands, volcanos, and gods (approximately 3500 metres large). When you collect buildings and humans, you'll hear people screaming and stuff, so its pretty funny. It does get repetitive since you're doing the same thing all the time, but its still brainless fun nonetheless.

Initially, I got Warriors Orochi 2 before I got Me And My Katamari. However, Warriors Orochi 2 couldn't work because it kept hanging at the start menu. Here's some information about what's going on with PSP games.. PSP games are starting to become more pirate-unfriendly, by forcing you to have the latest firmware before you can play, as well as detecting for custom firmware on a PSP. Quite a number of new games are already giving problems for those with custom firmware. I really wonder what's going to happen to the homebrew scene if this goes on. Also, multiplayer access is denied to those who do not have the latest firmware, and if you're up to date with the homebrew scene, you'll know that custom firmwares have not been released very regularly since 5.00 m33-6. And this includes being able to buy items from the online store. Pure stupidity Sony, pure stupidity. As if disallowing pirates from going on multiplayer is going to stop them from pirating. You just lost a lot of direct download revenue.

Anyway, Warriors Orochi 2 now works. I just had to delete the save data for Warriors Orochi 1. Kind of sad though, because I had some heroes in Warriors Orochi 1 that owned.
