Post-Examinations 2006

And......w00t, the exams are over.

A Math was surprisingly easier than I thought. I was thinking that I'd confirm get 50 marks gone straight off the start of the paper, and now I only lost 10 definitely. >_>

DAMN YOU LINEAR LAW >_>

But, yes, anyway.

--------------------------------------------------------

Was reading Flame of Recca a few days ago (Gid's sudden wanting to read it respaked interest in it) and Mom was like "Hey Herr, when'd you buy this?" and I was like "Sis bought this" and she was like "When'd she buy this?" and I was like "A long time ago" and she was like "Hey this reminds me"

And then she went to the rightmost cupboard below our bookshelf and took out like 20 books of 3x3 Eyes, the entire Anime Comics series of Sailormoon R, and two more of some weird anime called Graduation. Haven't got around to reading those yet due to rereading Flame of Recca, but I guess I'd be starting with that Graduation first, since it's just two books (Ignoring the fact that it's probably not complete, hehe >_>)

The most queer part is that Gwin knew about this, yet I didn't. Meh. Srsly, if your mom just suddenly goes "That reminds me" (well, not verbatim, but rather mandarin. Nonetheless you get the point >_>) and takes out like 2/3rds the entire 3x3 Eyes series (which is 34 or so books total), in good condition despite being from 10 years ago, and everyone else but you takes this normally, you'd be in a state of wtf too. >_>

"First an alien... now a time traveller shows up. What's going on here? If someone out there can hear all this and be like "Okay, sure," and believe it all, let me know. We can trade places." - Kyon, Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu

SZ has expressed interest in Sailormoon R, much to amusement and certain despair. Oh well. >_>

E3 2K6:

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is absolutely stunning. Super Smash Brothers Brawl has SOLID SNAKE inside it, garnering instant awesome points. The Nintendo Revolution - oh, sorry, it's called the Wii now >_> - seems to doing rather well, as compared to the Gamecube's rather lackluster performance overall in comparison to PS2 and Xbox (That said, Nintendo always manages to make money despite losing market share, something the other two have not been exactly capable of. Haha) Well, then again, what can you expect? The XBox 360 mostly failed to show any amazing games that managed to wow the audience this year, AND it was released last year so it doesn't have the grace of having launch titles at E3. The Playstation 3 is priced at a blody US$599.99 dollars, and I doubt I'd be able to afford that for a very long time. The Wii on the other hand is set to cost about US$250, about $50 less than a normal XBox 360, and $150 or so less than the premium Xbox 360. Curse you PS3 and your immensely expensive costs.

Final Fantasy XIII looks extremely good. Looking forward to playing it in a few years from now. Way more promising than FF XII IMO at least.

Halo 3 is not set for a Christmas release, which means that PS3 will probably dominate the market this year if they get a price cut. Which is not likely. But then again there's always the chance that buggers out there bug their parents into buying a PS3 despite its huge costs. And they didn't show any gameplay. =
Project Gotham Racing 3 for XBox 360? BAH. Get outta the way, Gran Turismo HD is in da house. I thought PGR3 looked cool and realistic. GTHD trumps it in every single aspect. Disbelievers should go to gametrailers and watch the E3 GTHD vid this instant. GTHD is just THAT good.

Metal Gear Solid 4's trailer is also extremely amazing. Enough to wow zis gamer here who has never played Metal Gear Solid before, haha. Old Snake looks like he sure can still kick ass. Maybe I should borrow MGS from Job or something.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Sound editing is schadenfreude (Which Gid apparently thought was schaden freude and not one word >_>). Seriously. Words fail to describe the sadness and torture involved in hearing my bro put some freaked up version of some cutesy song to make it sound like a guy singing a girl song.

----------------------------------------------------------------

And more fregmentations as usual. Not much more to say at this current point of time. >_>
