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.

Another 2 months has passed since I updated. Honestly, nothing much has changed in terms of what I've been doing.---------------------------------
Driving.
I've completed everything I need to complete for driving now, and all that's left is my practical test. It's on the 24th of July. Yeah, still really far away. They should really increase the number of tests that they can do per day. To think that I actually booked this on the 17th of May. If there wasn't any waiting to do, I would have gotten my licence 1-1.5 months ago. No shit.
Here you go, my final lesson progress. Don't even know why I'm posting this.
--------------------------------
NUS Special Term.
I failed again. Didn't manage to get into part 1, didn't manage to get into part 2. I don't know whether because I picked modules that don't have exams and as a result, have too many people trying to apply for it, or whether I did the application process wrongly. I'm not too annoyed by the fact that I'll be wasting more of my free time doing pointless stuff, but I'm more annoyed by the fact that I won't be able to reduce the amount of modules I need to study in year 1.
---------------------------------
WoW.
I actually quit playing WoW for about half a month, because Cataclysm was going to be released and there wasn't any point playing. Well, Cataclysm is now out, and I'm a paladin. I'm not too happy with the choice, because there are quite a few paladins in the guild. Too many actually. I was expecting the number of paladins to decrease due to the heavy nerfs that they received for Cataclysm. Not to mention, they now actually require a lot more skill to use. If you know my class choice habits, I like to pick underplayed classes. So, I really want to change to a less played class, but I've already put quite a lot of time into my paladin, and I really don't feel like doing it all over again. Level 80-85 is also a bitch, since a lot of the quests are broken. I'll just stick to what I have and hope for the best.
As much as possible, I'm going to try to tone down the amount of time I spend on WoW. It's a pretty shitty game, but I have no idea why I spend so much time on it. I'm going to force myself to play one and only one class, no more. I will do what is required, and nothing extra.
---------------------------------
Path of Exile.
I recently got into the Path of Exile beta. It's been a long wait of 8 months. It's annoying, really. I see others who get their beta access in a month or two, and I have to wait for eight whole months. Even though the wait was unjustified, I have to say it's totally worth the wait. I played the Diablo III open beta, and comparing it to Path of Exile, Path of Exile totally kicks Diablo III's ass. By the way, Path of Exile is only in closed beta, with only 1 act fully completed. Act 2 is almost complete; only the final boss is not in the game yet. There is a global chat channel in Path of Exile, and I have not seen a single person say that Diablo III is better. All I keep hearing is disappointment, disappointment and more disappointment. However, those who prefer Diablo III over Path of Exile wouldn't really be playing Path of Exile, so I can't judge just like that.
If you preferred Diablo and Diablo II over Diablo III, you'll prefer Path of Exile over Diablo III. I honestly got a little spooked while playing Path of Exile. I was heading to a Church to do a quest, so I walked in, saw that it was dark, dirty, spooky, with messed up furniture and bloodstains here and there. I thought to myself, "It's kinda late now... I think I'll do this tomorrow afternoon." And the prisons, oh man.
Do yourself a favour and check out the open beta when it's out in August. Or better yet, try your luck at entering the closed beta. Or if you want, fork out 10 bucks for instant access. From what I've heard, everyone says it's worth it.
-----------------------------------
Heroes of Newerth.
One of my friends actually got me to play this. I agreed, because I was in the period of having nothing to do. I was waiting for WoW to upgrade to Cataclysm, and there were no new games coming out until June.
I tried it out, and well, I don't really have much opinion on this. I feels like DotA, it plays like DotA, and I've never really been much of a fan of DotA. The need for me to learn all the heroes and items all over again doesn't really help with anything.
I haven't touched this game for a really long time now, because I've got better games to play right now. I'm not entirely sure if I'll be going back to it any time soon.
-----------------------------------
Rayman: Origins.
I've actually had this game for quite a while now, but I haven't been playing it consistently. It's a good game, it really reminds me of my primary school days where I played Rayman. If you don't know what Rayman is about, it's essentially a platform sidescroller, sort of like Mario. Of course there are differences between the two, but I shall not go there.
This is a game I'll slowly complete, and definitely not chucking out before I'm done with it.
-----------------------------------
And that's it.
