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

Updates stopped for this blog. Last post 20 August 2013.

Ok, so its the holidays now, but that doesn't really mean I can start playing all day long. Got quite a lot of work to do.

Anyway, game update! I've completed Resistance: Retribution on the PSP about 2 weeks ago, just didn't say anything about it till now. Its a must-play if you have a PSP. The story is solid, and I really like how they implement automatic aiming for the game. I went ahead to try the multiplayer as well, and it works well too. It worked pretty smoothly without lag.

Now I'm playing Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce and Rock Band: Unplugged on the PSP. Dynasty Warriors isn't as good as I thought it would be, especially after having a lot of fun with Warriors Orochi. The epic scale of mass battles is not there anymore. The series is always about brainless hack and slash fun, but I think because Dynasty Warriors: Strikeforce tried to make the game a little bit more intellectual, the fun just went poof. Its badly balanced as well. The game's missions are all designed for four players, but if you play single player mode, you'll have to cope with the difficulty. Also, the areas in multiplayer is dead empty. Pfft.

Rock Band: Unplugged is so far, the only good music rhythm game that I've played so far. Honestly, I've not played many music rhythm games on the PSP, but still, comparing with things like DJ Portable Max, Rock Band: Unplugged is much better. The songs are definitely much better than the stupid techo crap that comes with DJ Portable Max, although there are still some crappy songs in Rock Band.

I've I mentioned that I'm playing a druid in WoW now? Crap I just realised I need to write about Maplestory. Anyway, I am playing a druid now, and its already a level 80 Tauren. Yes, Tauren. Its one of the few Horde characters that I have. Also, I've also almost managed to hit the gold limit of 214k. I currently have about 205k gold. I've never imagined myself going over 10k gold, and now I'm actually going to hit the gold cap. For some reason, people are just buying raw materials off the auction house for insane prices, and while I was leveling, I managed to get hold of some of these raw materials. This, combined with the fact that the server keeps making used items appear back in your bag after a relog, made me a rich man. Not sure if I'm really rich though. 200k isn't worth much in a crazily inflated economy like this, and I've seen millionares around. Maybe I should make bank alts and horde more money.

Alright, enough about my riches. Back to my druid. As mentioned, the druid is the only hybrid class left for me to try. I haven't done a lot of hybrid work on the druid, simply because its quite a pain to change forms to use certain spells. I play a feral druid, so healing and fighting is not very viable. I'm intending to become a tank, since its the only role I've not played in a typical MMORPG group (DPS, tank, healer). Currently I have 14.5k unbuffed in bear form, and 16k armor (51% damage reduction). That's pretty horrible for a druid tank, since druid tanks are supposed to have the highest health and armor values out of all tanks. I've got a lot of work to do before I can tank proper bosses.

I've got stupid Tech Council tomorrow and Thursday. Its like from 10am to 6pm. The worst part is that we're just going to spend the whole day tomorrow to take pictures. These pictures are going to be used in the Virtual School Tour, which we are going to update. The stupid Virtual School Tour isn't even used or seen by anyone, and I bet 80% of people in ACJC don't even know it exists. Bloody waste of time tomorrow. At least we're going to learn some stuff on Thursday.
