Railgun

Definitely worth a watch.
Last episode put a smile to my face several times.

I realise its usually the last part of an anime series that I remember why I love anime - the ending is almost always satisfying (thankfully I didn't have to deal with the Code Geass cliffhanger) and leaves a big smile on your face or happy thoughts.

Railgun - 8/10

Had quite a few filler episodes, and the ending was a bit cheesy but it was really great to watch nonetheless.

Ridiculous

So, I come back from Scouts ready for a nice, long relaxing internet session, and I chance upon a dumbass in the Dissidia Forums. And I quote,

Okay, stop giving me reasons to hate everyone here.

This isn't serious business or anything, but to see you guys participate in the saimoe league is quite possibly the most weaboo and pathetic thing you have done yet.

SERIOUSLY. Moe is killing the industry. I'm sure the "moe bubble" burst awhile ago, but it's still here for awhile because asswipes like the lot of you can't let this go. It's either a "joke" you entertain or something you actually sit there and enjoy . You enjoy the boring moe crap? Ok, stop liking bad stuff. Please. The lot of you should already know moe is crap. SHIT LIKE THIS IS KILLING THE INDUSTRY.
 

Oh yes.
 

PLEASE DIE.

Retarded much? I don't get how people can even say shit like this with no actual argument or reason. It's just like 'u gaiz liek dat shit? lulz nubz lame shits go screw ur mumz'. And so, as a true anime lover, I replied with:

Sorry, have to reply. Feel the urge to protect what I like, especially since he's effectively calling all the characters and animes in Saimoe jokes.

...Pathetic? Weaboo? Tell me now, is voting for characters we like in a conveniently created competition pathetic? Does it prove we are obsessed with all things Japanese? No, I don't think so. It just means we like certain characters, and that we just want to show it. Is anyone here on DissidiaForums going around being all 'KAWAII DESU NE'? If there is, fine. Call him a weaboo for all I care, but I haven't seen anyone like that. Also, how is it pathetic to like something, and want to express it in a manner that isn't even particularly vocal?

Moe. First of all, you thinking moe is bad stuff and is 'killing the industry' is just your bloody opinion. Don't come and tell us that its crap.

By the way, look at the animes represented in Saimoe, at least this time around. Sure, it has moe in its name, but look at the contested anime characters and what kind of animes they come from. All of them are interesting and have a storyline beyond having cute characters do cute things to a base story. The only animes in the Saimoe that I can say would ruin the anime industry if all the anime were just like it, are K-On! and Lucky Star.

I could argue for every other anime in the Saimoe League (except for those I didn't watch), that they are, in fact, not moe animes.

Just because a character has cute, moe moments doesn't mean you get to say that the animes their in, or even the character overall, is crap or a joke. If you have any character you'd like to mention is more or less entirely moe-based, then please, tell me. I'm sure you're just missing the meaning behind the character.

Not every anime is going to have an entirely serious plot with epic characters. I personally can't imagine an anime without a single cute moment.

Well, yeah. That's all for today. Need to wake up early tomorrow to go to school at 7 and make a house.

DotA 6.67

I haven't played it yet, but it seems this version is big and has some big changes. I hope I get to play it tonight with you fags, but everyone doesn't seem to want to play.

Noticeable changes and my opinions:

Bone Fletcher - Death Pact Rework (GOOD)
Definitely a great upgrade, makes Clinkz much more powerful now during ganking. Though now he doesn't quite have a super heal anymore.

Bounty Hunter - Track Visual (HANDY)
It's kind of helpful, I guess. I wonder what the visual is.

Twin Head Dragon - Armor Buff (SADFACE)Hurray, what a bitch. Now he's fat and armored, thanks a lot of Icy.

Ancient Apparition - Cold Feet Manacost Nerf (SADFACE)From 90/100/110/120 to 150 constant mana cost. This is a huge beating to the poor block of killer ice, and actually power downs his lane a lot. Now he actually needs those damn clarities.

Moon Rider - Lunar Blessing Rework (GOOD)Well, she gets a constant damage buff now instead of percentage-based, effectively nerfing her in the ass for late game. But I think that overall, it really helps her early game, though the damage should be higher (6, 12, 18, 24). The night vision is a nice addition I suppose, fits with her theme.

Lycanthrope - Howl B/NERF (SADFACE)His howl damage addition is buffed by about 9/8/7/6 damage per level, but its duration has gone down to 12 seconds from 16 seconds and the cooldown from constant 35 to 50/45/40/35 which sucks in my opinion. Kind of more helpful early, but less helpful later on. So much for gay wolves, though I guess you never really get to beat on enemies for more than 5-6 seconds, let alone 16.

Magnataur - Empower Rework and Cleave Skill Removal, addition of Skewer (GOOD)Bloody awesome. Skewer looks real fun to use and synergizes with his ultimate, Magnataur is now on my to-play list.

Medusa - INT gain Nerf (GOOD)Suck it, bitch! No more gay tide-turning farmer snake.

Nerubian Weaver - New Skill replacing Urna Swarm (GOOD)Another new skill that looks functional and fun to use, goodie.

Techies - New EXP Gain from Remote Mines, no matter of location (FUCKING AWESOME)I LOVE YOU, ICEFROG!

Well, otherwise there isn't anything interesting. That Ethereal blade looks handy for agility carries trying to kill strength or agility heroes, but otherwise it's like screwing yourself with more magic damage taken.

Sexy Techies Aghanims visual, woot.

So damn busy

In the last 9 years, school stress has never gotten to me, truly noticeably.
Until now.

With the Sec 4 ridiculous load of homework, not to mention how long you have to spend on each piece thanks to how difficult each question is, you spend most of your free time on homework whether you want to or not. Truthfully, right now I should be doing my E Math papers, four of which I have to hand up by Friday. But I'm just so damn tired from this whole.. life, thing. Not to mention I have 2 free periods tomorrow (SS since the teacher has to conduct term 1 tests for those who were not there, and Chinese because the teacher has to conduct prelims).
Anyway, one of my current priorities is to finish my long backlog of anime episodes. I just finished 4 episodes of Railgun yesterday and will watch the latest one today, and then continue on to Ladies vs Butlers and Durarara after that.

Ugh, so exhausted.

If there's one person I want to hate on right now, it's Keng Yeen for giving me that job to make a house. He could have at least asked me first, but instead it went more like:

'So what's my job?'
'You're making a hut.'
'..wut.'
'A hut.'
'...WHAT THE FU-'

Yeah, my minds are constantly filled with the thought of the entire Drama Club screwing up because they lack a hut. Damn this pressure.

The last 2~3 weeks

I got both my Final Fantasy XIII and Clavinova CLP-330 Piano.

I'm a bit disappointed with the piano. At the store I was really excited so it must have shrouded my judgement a little bit, listening to the piano now it has this certain tone that makes it sound fake. But I'm happy with it overall, since I highly doubt I could get an authentic-sounding piano that can transmit sounds through the earphone wire.

As for Final Fantasy XIII, due to CCA as well as overwhelming homework, I've only been able to put 5 or 6 hours into the game but enjoying it so far. Lightning looks a lot nicer than she did in her promotional pictures and is one of my favourite characters at the moment, in terms of both character and personality. Another character I'm liking is Hope, whom is ironically very pessimistic and etcetera. Things I don't like? How when you want to turn around to walk in a different direction, there's a lag time of about half a second which brings movement to a slow level. It looks realistic, sure, but it isn't nice to feel it.

Battle system is fun, Paradigm system is bloody awesome. I'm changing Paradigm's every 20 seconds or so, boss battles are extremely on edge since even near the start of the game you can easily be OHKO'd. Every battle is exciting because, unlike other Final Fantasy's where the monsters chip your HP down over time as you walk across the map, you're likely to be put into danger in every single battle.

Hm, I went for Scouts camp from Friday to Sunday. Nothing interesting, but on one of the night-times I served Apple Pies for Supper and under-ordered a little, since their appetites fluctuated a lot. Once in awhile they'd eat a lot and sometimes they'd leave a massive amount of leftovers. Anyway, I was disgusted to find out that several of them had eaten 4 or 5 apple pies while some of their friends hadn't even eaten yet. As for Zong's comment that we were all 'once like that', I gotta say that our cohort, although they don't know when to shut the fuck up, cares for each other. Like, even the ruggers will look out for you. We may not be the best cohort in terms of behaviour but we really look out for our people.

Otherwise, not much to say. I've attempted my A Math homework and can barely do any questions at all, which is a shame.

Something tells me I'm not finishing it by Tuesday.

C330 Clavinova, Final Fantasy XIII

So my dad decided to sell our old Yamaha (at least 8 years old, was already second hand when we bought it). The guy who checked it out and tuned it for us before we sold it away advised my dad not to sell it because it is a really great piano or something, but my dad gave some reason like 'You know kids la, like all the shiny ding ding dang dang stuff'. Of course I don't ever remember saying I wanted to sell our piano and get a digital one, but hey whatever works, right? So my family went to Yamaha the other day and I picked out the C330 Clavinova. It looks really sexy, smaller than my old one but has volume and headphone plugs and stuff, so that I can play at night. Always found it annoying how even with the mute pedal my dad still insisted I'd be annoying the neighbors, so this is good.

Other than that, I almost forgot but Final Fantasy XIII is coming out on March 9th. I'm pretty sure I'm the only Final Fantasy fan anyway, and Thomas is only buying it because he wants to fap to Lightning and thinks the graphics are hawt and sexy. But preparing my wallet for that expensive $140 game, yum.

Hmm.. I have double exams on Thursday. Maybe Danyal will let me go after auditions so I can go revise/study for A Math and Social Studies.

-Haruhiist

Refer to last post

So after talking to Thomas, apparently only Dornel thinks that way.

Come on, out of the people who played, only me and Merrill aren't in Team Ennui, and it's obviously not Merrill. Obvious much.
Of course, my statement about it being up to you whether you want me to play with you guys or not still stands.

Anyway, Founder's Day was a blast. Lots of mistakes and screw-ups all over. It was pretty funny overall, and I didn't faint thanks to eating half a Carl's Jr. burger in the morning. The Big Carl > any normal Cheeseburger any day.

Doing my homework now, seeya.
