Legend of Heroes Reloaded

Heh.... another entry about this RPG. Well... thinking back to when I started playing the game, I remember seeing a LOOOOT of dodgey dialogue.

The game was originally released in Japan (duh) and was obviously translated for the USA release (Derrr). When I play games that have a lot of text, I tend to just keep mashing the "next" button, so I can catch the main drift of the dialogue etc etc. But when you can't mash out of it, it must mean that you HAVE to read it. One such circumstance is when you level up and learn new spells. For example, when Milke (one of the main characters) levels up and learns a spell called "Slow", the game spits out, "Mile leveled up" and then..... get this... "Mile was Slow mastered". HAHAHAHA wth engrish attack! There is heaps of shit shit scattered through the game.

Other examples include:
"I came on a pilgrim with my daughter."
"You are food friends"
"I was crying sour grapes"
"That is fairy good"
"They was great"
"The miners were got hurt"

I'm not sure about this, but are Japanese open to being gay? I mean, there is a old male character who hits on Avin (the main character) openly.

Hahaha.... well that's it. I bet they used Babelfish :p

Imagine if they used Babelfish to translate Tekken move names. Hahahaha oh man..

I was up until 11:30 playing Legend of Heroes last night (which is a fairly decent game [RPG]) and decided to give up and save because the last boss is just too bastard to beat. I woke up at 6:30 this morning (I had a driving lesson at 8), and decided to kick the bosses ass before the lesson. Heh, you really think more clearly when you have some decent sleep. So yeah.... I got really frustrated with the game system. For fucks sake, I STILL haven't figured out how the turns are figured out.

The best way to describe the game is Pokémon. Legend of Heroes is turn based, but the turns are ..... random? At one stage, the boss took more than 5 FUCKING goes and totally pwned my entire party (WTF cheap!!!).

Anyway, by about 7:15, I figured out how to beat him and proceeded to own him back to "The realm of Hades".

Driving wise, I did pretty well today. Learnt a million manouvers (spelling?) etc etc.

I should really finish that damn Japan/Hong Kong blog and post some photos.

Seeing Underworld Evolution (correction?) tomorrow and will hopefully be fitting in some Tekken before and after the movie

DJmax Portable

Oh man, I'm so hooked on a game that I totally suck at. The game is DJmax Portable (duh). It's basically a new BeatMania, but totally hard!!!!! It's a Korean game actually, six or four button action.

VERRRRY FUN!

Second blog for the day. I went to Sunnybank Plaza today to play a bit of Tekken. To my suprise, there were actually a few people there, they were even willing to keep putting money in. Nothing but noobs though :(. Anyway, I'm not bitching, that's free wins and more money to go to the "buy Xiaoyu a pair of Cat Mittens" fund.

It started raining randomly (probably been brewing for a past few days since it's been so damn hot).

Pulp Fiction!!!!!! I finished watching it again, which reminds me that I need to return it, or John will get slapped in the face with late fees. Anyway, I thought I'd stick up some dialogue from the movie. I'll see if I can rip the audio and visual and upload it to YouTube.com someday. But enjoy the text for now.


Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No man, I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Bacon tastes gooood. Pork chops taste gooood.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker. Pigs sleep and root in shit. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eat nothin' that ain't got enough sense enough to disregard its own faeces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dogs eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well we'd have to be talkin' about one charmin' motherfuckin' pig. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charmin' than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm sayin'?


That's about it for now.

Go Go High Speed Corners!

Just got back from a driving lesson. I'm getting better, but I really have to start getting into the habbit of changing gears and slowing down for corners. Fuck. Anyway, I'm enjoying driving. My driving instructor is a pretty nice guy.

/me does a Guitar Solo.... bmm tsss.. bmm tssss

HooooOOOhOOOOOOO. yeah yeah!!

If you wanna see some action.
Gotta be the center OF A-TTRAC-TION!!

We had one too many laughs at that song the other day. Really, what were they thinking when they pasted "Number One" on every exciting action scene in Bleach.

Bleach episode 64 is out, and I must say, it's really sidetracking from the *ahem* main storyline. What the fuck!? Orihime just got sucked into some door, Renji is randomly in town. Hoping that it gets better soon.

In other news, this week has been pretty fun. Starting off with the guys staying over for some Tekken and movies, then iceskating with May and friends. Wednesday was spent driving and working (sorry, I really wanted to go to Dreamworld). Thursday (today), nothing has happened yet, although I'm high on this old song by The Pillows. I'll upload a watered down version and host it for a while for those that would like to "share the experience". *Link* It's REALLY THAT great!

I've totally forgotten about the overseas blog. Will get on that when I'm not that busy. (That'll be a while, since I've been playing Legend of Heroes).

Until another time.

PS. I downloaded Gunbound and played it for about 20 minutes. I'm thinking of deleting it already. (I'm too good for Taiki anyway)

Kingdom Hearts anyone?

[Current Mood : Frustrated]
[Current Music : Maaya Sakamoto - Call to me]

So... I'm getting a little carried away with my RPG fad. I played Kingdom Hearts for 4 hours straight today. For fuck's sake, it's hard. For those who HAVE played the game. How long did it take you to find all 3 mushrooms? Because it took me well over 20 minutes. So yeah, after I FINALLY found that damn mushroom, It was time to name the raft. I so so sooooo wanted to be captain of YigMobile. Riku is a dick head. Fuck him, seriously. I lost that damn race well over 10 times and finally got the hang of it (damn those purple top trees, fall off and you lose the race). Basically, the fastest way to beat Riku is to run ahead of himi (duh). And when you get to the bridge, walk over the falling bit and press jump 3-4 frames after it collapses, causing Riku to have a spill (hahaha, eat shit, silver haired faggot). After that, you're in the lead for a bit. If making him fall off the bridge is a bit too hard for you, just concentrate on staying ON and making it to the flying fox tower before he does. An easy way to do this is jumping onto the ladder. As you run off the bridge, you have another 3-4 frames before you start falling, so if you press jump during those frames, you'll definately make it up halfway on the ladder. From there, slide down and run up and tag the star. Thanks to the fucking glitchy camera angles, you'll have to trial and error with the purple top trees until you're 100% ready to do it blind folded. The rest is pretty much just run back to where you started.

After I "mastered" the race course, I loaded the last save just before the race and owned Riku into the sand. Since I lost to him in a duel the "score" was 0:1, but after I won the little race, I evened it out. Guess what Riku says when you come out saying "woooo the score is 1:1"?. He chucks a tanty and says something like, "omg Sora, it's just a name of a raft, why take it so fucking serious?".

Man..... if these games had no restrictions, I'd smash his face with Keyblade (when I got it). Screw you, Riku.

[Current Song : YUI - Life]

Just came back from my first driving lesson. WTH driving manual isn't anywhere as easy as playing Daytona or Gran Turismo. Damn... life isn't the same as video games. Be back later, practicing hadokens and shouryukens.

And Linh, I use my tablet, but still have to work on colouring, lining and everything. It's a start though.

Yum Yum Mango and Vanilla Icecream

[Current Mood : Satisfied]
[Current Music : Shiina Ringo - STEM]
 
There's nothing like manga with vanilla icecream (with Tekken on the side) on a hot Summer's day. This holiday hasn't been as awesome as planned. Really... I was planning to do a LOT of stuff, ie. learn some kind of instrument, whip myself back into shape etc etc. Also I still haven't finished my massive overseas blog (It's really THAT big).
 
Anyway, I'm getting driving lessons tomorrow morning. I hope I do ok. Learning to drive has been changed from bottom priority to high/top priority now, since I've already put it off for WAAAAAAAYY too long. I've also decided to go for a manual licence, not because "wow it's fucken macho macho manly to get one" but because........ heh... it'll save me getting laughed at by the guys (you know who you are). Speaking of driving, there's a new game I wanna get into (but can't), Mario Kart:GP. I played it quite a lot in Hong Kong and Japan, it's REALLY REALLY addictive.
 
Bad luck Taiki, you now have competition, Nina wise. I've decided to start learning some of the other characters in Tekken, starting with Nina. I'm really LOVING the Jap Combo, stylish AND powerful. Oh yeah, Hayato, you're a cheap cunt with Marduk. "Get those cameras on me etc etc", I said, with steam coming out of my ears, "I'll break your faaace". Damn Hayato.... I hope Linh kills you. Mwahahaha.
 
In other news, I'm really enjoying my PSP. Thanks Erks for giving me TWO DVDS FULL OF GAMES!!111oneoneone. Eat that Quilton, no games for you (not that you can play then anyway, 32mb memory stick noob). I've tried out over 15 games in the last 2 days. I'M HOOKED ON LUMINES!!!! I really hated some of them though, like Marvel Nemisis : Rise of the something or another, it REALLY sucks!!! Talk about licence whoring, "Wooo it's licenced by Marvel, so we can feel free to pump out as much bullshit as we want". Companies these days have no respect for the consumer these days. I can't believe that they are STILL releasing Dragon Ball games. It wouldn't be SO bad if they were half decent, but frankly, they are sub-par compared to the old SNES versions.
 
Sony has taken a wrong turn. Mini pirates (such as myself) can't play new games anymore since the compulsary Firmware requirements. FUCK YOUUUUUUU SOONNNYYY. I was really looking forward to playing Taito's Exit ever since I saw it in Japan. But noooo... it needs firmware version 2.5 to play... I guess they'll pay big time. Just have to wait until a certain group of dedicated asian nerds break the firmware and release UMD emulators for new firmware version.
 
...
 
So yeah.... I guess another alternative could be to actually burn UMDs. The technology is definately out there, since there has been a lot of UMD porn popping up everywhere. Go Japan!
 
I've been drawing a lot too!! No sample. Since it says that I've reached my 30mb limit (wth).
 
Later!

It's GROUNDHOG day!

After watching this movie, I have learnt to live life without regrets. I love all of you!!!
