SWNow :: Episode 21 :: Mmrs - jRAM DDR4 :: 102207


---
A lot of pinoys are responding to my Meetup Call for a Dungeons and Dragons group. To all of you, I am a Herald Level Dungeon Master with extensive knowledge of D20 3.5 and White Wolf's New World of Darkness Storytelling System. Please stop bugging me - I have a thesis to finish, and I simply don't have the time to organize a campaign. I know, I might be coming off as a little arrogant, but I really really have to focus on my academics. I really really really do.

Believe me, I want to start a Saga Edition Star Wars Campaign, a Post-apocalyptic Mech Wars ala-Armored Core-style D20 Future Campaign and a Classic Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 without any rulebook restrictions (Any rulebook can be used, provided you give me a xerox copy of all relevant data) campaign.

I really do. But I can't.

There's too much I need to do. I need the Data Access Layer of the Online Election Software running in two weeks - and everything else running in four weeks. That's an awfully short time for such a huge project. So please, bear with me - I'll be back, I promise, but in the mean time, I cannot DM. Yet. Kk?

Gawd. I need to pass two case studies, one research paper and the revised thesis tommorow. And I'm right here blogging X( Hehehe.

*I will post a full update later, maybe this night. Hang tight, Ciao for now.*

~A Quote from Red vs. Blue:

"Church: Thanks for the support Grif. Way to be a team player.
Grif: Hey, I've got to think about myself here.
Church: There's no "I" in team Grif.
Grif: Yeah, there's no "U" either. So I guess if I'm not on the team and you're not on the team, then nobody's on the godamned team! The team sucks!"

SWNow :: Episode 20 :: Mock Thesis :: 100807


---
I'm trying to create a prototype for juner's thesis since yesterday, and the whole software's at about 50% complete. It's a very fun thought experiment, and I'm planning to finish it by tommorow. Here's a sneak peek (As usual, Right Click + View Image for better resolution):



junThesis -
  • Presentation Layer: 40%
  • Business Logic Layer: 0%
  • Data Access Layer: 100%
  • Documentation: 80%
  • Total completion: 55%

Aside from that, I became tired from grinding my soul chandra (RFOnline) so I created a new character! His name's Larc, and I'm planning to make him a berserker. Below's his pic - I got Larc (I got the name from Legend of Mana) last night, and leveled him up to level 22 in just a few hours with the help of premium. Hehehehe :P



Darn it. Iv'e started to write my blogs using the wordpad of my new fone (Word To Go), but it's really annoying. I don't like my keyboard, and there's no smilies...

Btw, I'm still adding a few things to this blog post, just refresh tomorrow morn... Kay?

Magic:tG :: Kithkin? Kithkin!? :: 100307


Prinny Dood!

---
Kith.dec

18x plains
2x forbidding watchtower
-
20x lands

4x sidewinder sliver
4x sinew sliver
4x knight of the holy nimbus
1x crovax, ascendant hero
4x steadfast guard
4x wizned cenn
4x knight of meadowgrain
1x thoughtweft trio
-
26x critters

4x surge of thoughtweft
3x oblivion ring
3x temporal isolation
2x griffin guide
2x fortify
-
14x other spells

That's my deck. A mono color aggro rush deck more known as "White Weenie". Wtf's wrong with me? Man, the deck's nowhere near competitive... I'm really thinking about quitting right now, since the whole block is a bit lacking. Kinda like Kamigawa, but w/o the flavor.

Kith.dec plays just like every other Aggro Deck. Just attack. If something big gets in the way, evade with Griffin Guide or remove it through oblivion ring or temporal isolation. Win using Surge of Thoughtweft or Fortify. *sigh* I hate Lorwyn.

I'm not saying the whole block sucks. Gaddock Teeg, Cryptic Command, Thorn of Amethyst, Jace Beleren, Chandra Nalaar, Oona Prowler and Eyes of the Wizned are powerful cards, but the rest? There are very few cards that's even near ravnica's power level. That said, i think goblins will be the dominant aggro deck this season, and UB teachings will still be top control deck.

I'm gonna playtest my crappy deck now... *sigh*

SWNow :: Episode 19 :: After 1 Month :: 100107


Watch the video above. It's enlightening, to say the least...
"What's war good for?"


---
Darn it, there's a lot of things I want to share. -___- Okay, lets do this: (Btw, I'll add links a little later k? There's a bunch of blocked sites here at school because of 'Gaming Content' or somesuch)
  1. Persona 3 Rocks! especially the soundtrack, though the story and gameplay is also superb! Kudos to Shoji Meguro, Persona 3's Music Composer for awe-inspiring tracks such as Burn my Dread and The Poem for Everyone's Souls. Bonus Trivia: Rie Tanaka voiced both Mitsuru (Persona 3, Japanese Ed) and Lacus Clyne (Gundam SEED).
  2. Thesis is almost complete! Well, the documentations at least. The whole paper is almost 50+ pages, and is 95% complete - with only typographical errors and a few revisions at the last chapter to take care of. ^^ Hehehe at last, I can rest a bit before the Proposal Defense and the Development Crunch (OH CRAP, I almost forgot about that!) arrives.
  3. Spent the night in Letran (School) last September 20 for the Overnight Novena for Our Lady of La Naval de Manila. It was enlightening, got a bit of solitude from that.
  4. I'm playing RFOnline-Ph again! Well, It recently became a Free-2-Play Online RPG, so, why not? I already have a sufficiently high level character, and I'd only need to grind just another level (I'm at level 42 - I need to be at level 43 to equip my SI Vulcan...) before engaing in the Chip Wars... So, I'm playing again! Mwahahaha! ^^
  5. My parents bought me a new cellphone as a birthday present! And it's a friggin PDA-Phone to boot! Hehehe I'm very happy about it - It's a Sony Ericson P990i, complete with Wi-Fi features! ^^ I got a GBA Emulator running in it! Hehehe... The only problem is that it doesn't support my sim (yet)... so mehhhh...
  6. I've developed a need for gun-toting animes. Last last week, I'm craving for Gunslinger Girl, and now, I'm looking for Trigun Reruns. Also, I'm downloading GunXSword. Wtf's wrong with me?
  7. Bought a new mouse (Yey!) and got a haircut. I kinda don't like it, but my parents and friends tell that its better from my long haired look. Hmmm...
  8. I'm also developing a taste for webcomics. Oh, and I need to finalize the design for Austin's webcomic. I'm thinking about taking down these GIFs at the left panel and replace them with a WebComic Listing... Hmmm...
  9. Oh, And my birthday was at September 12 for those of you didn't come at the celebration.
  10. It's my bestfriend's birthday a couple of days from now! Oct 3 <--- Gazee's Day. ^^
  11. I'm loving Fall Out Boy's new album - Infinity on High, especially Golden, Thnks fr th Mmrs, The Take Over, The Break's Over, I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You), You're Crashing, But You're No Wave and The Carpal Tunnel of Love. Wow. That's a lot of tracks :P
  12. I'm really inclined to quit Magic right now. All I'm doing with my cards are crappy, non-competitive White Weenie decks. Which kinda sucks. I'll post a decklist later. I hope.
I'm hating my house right now - Actually, I'm hating a lot of things right now. I'm so uninspired. Darn it, and my sociophobic tendencies is on the rise. It's like a war in my head right now, although my mood isn't really bad. I kinda like what's currently happening. Oh, and about my last post - I'd rather forget about it. I've bitched about it on my friends, so I'm cool. ^^ Those things aside, I hope my laziness goes away when I get home, so that I can place pics and links at this post. Oh, and put a WebComic listing at the panel. -___-

So, Ciao!
