[Screenshot of Surf and I after we did last year's Halloween event on RuneScape used to be here, but fucking ImageShack deleted it. -.-]

Ah, it's been one whole year since Surf and I did the Halloween event on RuneScape last year. Anyway, Happy Halloween! Trick or treat?

[Screenshot of this year's Halloween event on RuneScape used to be here, but fucking ImageShack deleted it. -.-]

Only screenshot I took of the Halloween event on RuneScape this year, lol.

If someone lives with ridicule,

Glory - Because You Are Here

Always wanted to tell you, but couldn't even tell half
I was able to meet those gaze that surrounds me everytime we met
I'll be near, the dreams shine everytime we tell it
That soft smile of yours made me happy, it was kind

Glory, glory, you're my shine even these tears
Changes into courage because of you
Without giving up, I'll walk to that wish-granting place

Why is the future with you? Why are you still near me?
The city we met in still continues to live today
The things I can believe in always won't change
Even if we're far apart, our hearts are together, laugh together

Glory, glory, you're my shine even lonely nights
Changes into courage because of you
Without letting go of these warmth in my hands

Actually, it's still too bright for me, yet
I take pride of you being here
Even when I'm down, I still walk forward as to lighten up the paths

Even the flowing clouds and the swaying wind
Changes into courage because of you
Without letting go of these warmth in my hands

Glory, glory, you're my shine no matter when
I can still see dreams because of you
I want to be strong, understand each other, probably to arrive someday

Attendance: 168/169 (I still remember the day I didn't go to school was 17th Jan 06)
Comments: I am a serious and independent learner. My IT skills are also highly regarded by my peers. With my competitive spirit, I should be able to improve my results to realise my full potential.

And now, my comments:

Yup, only A1 I have is E. Maths. That's not bad, considering Maths is pretty much the only subject I'm good at, since childhood. I should rather be surprised I can get an A1, considering the difficulty I had with my E. Maths End-of-Year Paper.

Second best is A. Maths. Sitting beside Yoshida has its benefits, lol, seeing that he is such a pro at A. Maths. Heck, I need more practice at it though, neither my mind nor my brain can twist and turn fast enough for me to solve some A. Maths questions, as most of them require you to think out of the box.

Third best is Physics. I like this science, it can actually be applied onto real life, plus the teacher is quite good, which kind of explains why I did not take biology, lol. It's just sad I didn't manage to get an A2, just 2 more marks. T.T Then again, worse with A. Maths, just 1 more mark for A2. T.T

Forth best is Geography. I used to like Geography, especially map reading, but now, with our new teacher, which for her privacy I shall not reveal her name, half of what she said is what goes in my left ear and comes out at my right. And the other half of what she said? It goes in my right ear but since the first half is coming out from right ear, they got repelled, pushed back and never got the chance to enter my ear. So I am forced to rely on my textbook, but I'm not really someone with good memory that I can memorize the textbook, so meh.

Fifth best is Chinese. I'm not really good at it, despite the fact that I speak in Chinese frequently. To add, the teacher is not bad, but does what a teacher teaches in class helps in exams? Guess not.

Sixth best is Humanities. Yeah, the History textbook is interesting, but I just freaking can't memorize, thus my lousy results for those two subjects. I should be glad I managed to score 60. Did I tell you I failed my Humanities in June?

Seventh and eighth is a tie between Chemistry and English. I'll talk about Chemistry first. *cracks knuckles* I got a lot to write about those two.

Chemistry is interesting, but there is a lot of theory part. Simply memorizing the textbook is futile, as there may be some parts which you do not understand, an event that happens frequently with Chemistry. You may ask, that is why the teacher is there for, right? Yes, but guess what? Our teacher can spend 30 minutes going through one question, most of the time going like "The Ar of Oxygen is 16, so the Mr of O2 is 16 times two, which is thirty-two. For CO2, the Ar of C is (...f***, what is it? *checks Wikipedia* What the f***? 12.0107?!) 12, while the Ar of O is 16, so CO2 is 12 plus 16 times 2, which is 12 plus 32 equals to 44." Seriously, no kidding, no propaganda, no bulls***. Those that she take her time to go through are elementary and can easily be found by refering to the periodic table. When she finally reach the difficult parts, guess what? We are already sleeping like dead pigs. For those who went drinking coffee like no tomorrow, she goes through the difficult part of the question much faster than Caleb striking a tree ten metres away with an electric attack. No kidding, no propaganda, no bulls***. And worse, guess how much time she takes to go through one worksheet? Two f***ing weeks! Indeed, Vernon, also known as Mr. 82 for Chemistry, says that it is better to refer to the Chemistry textbook than our Chemistry teacher. It simply takes ten minutes for you to understand a topic by reading the textbook, but listening to her talk about the same topic for years get you nowhere. Thus, just read your freaking textbook and sleep during her lessons. Indeed, this is a quote from him. "chemistry...yes! seek [the teacher] and ur chemistry surely F9. if [the teacher] screws ur marks up further, conquer her! bear conviction behind ur textbook.( use it instead of listening to her crap)". This is obviously an edit from the quote on my blog to the left under the tagboard: "The world... Yes! Seek freedom, and your world will stand stretched out right before your eyes. If this endless dream guides your spirits, Conquer it! Bear Conviction behind your Flag!" Want to hear my version? "Chemistry... Yes! Seek your textbook, and your Chemistry will surely get A1. If your brain tells you to listen to [the teacher], Conquer it! Bear Conviction behind your textbook!" How can anyone blame me for doing so poor in Chemistry? T.T WE WANT A CHANGE OF CHEMISTRY TEACHER NEXT YEAR!!

Ok, English. Reason is simple. The teacher has a voice that makes my want to sleep. I listen to her voice, I feel dizzy. Five minutes later, a headache. Five more minutes? It's like Squall going to visit Laguna in the 'dream world' in Final Fantasy VIII. Go figure. How can I score for my English when I spend most of the lessons sleeping against my will!?

I'm just satisified I passed anyway. My L1R4 and L1R5 looks good as long as I don't compare it with others. -.-" I'm surprised I still can get a Very Good for conduct. Very surprised.

As for the comments the teacher made: Serious learner? Since when am I serious in learning? Okay, maybe when learning about games and just gaming in general, but that is completely another story. Independent learner? I guess so, most of my teachers cannot be relied on to ask questions. -.-" Since when are my IT skills highly regarded by peers? *points at random blog reader* Do you regard my IT skills highly? *points at another random blog reader* And do you regard my IT skills highly? See? -.-" Competitive spirit, I like that. Yeah, it's like "Peter, I'm gonna get 99 fletching faster than you." "No, no, you don't, Samy, I'm going to get it first." And he still got it first. -.-" Improve results to realise full potential, I like that too. Like "I thought about a way to fight at my fullest. So that I don't lose anyone... So that I don't let anyone drift away... You won't be able... to keep up with me any more. All of my techniques... are going to evolve by one step! Gear... Second!" o.O

That concludes it. Back to cutting willows on RuneScape.

Love <3

Ah, love! Floating love! I am but driftwood laying my ebony-burned body down upon the flow. Driftwood, struck by your beauty called thunder; I am sent straight along the flow.

SDO VS Audition

Today, I shall talk about and compare two online dancing games I've played before, Super Dancer Online (SDO) and Audition.

Firstly, development and maintenance. I do not know which country developed SDO, but is maintained by a gaming company in Malaysia. Audition, on the other hand, (and I'm refering to AuditionSEA) is developed in Korea and maintained in Singapore. With that, obviously Audition gives more customer support and stuff. Yes, this is nationalism and discrimination all brewed and mixed together in a dangerous but efficient ratio.

Whatever. Anyway, since both games are dancing games, songs obviously are important. Audition, being developed in Korea, has, as far as I can tell, a bunch of Korean songs. Yup, Korean songs. Correct me if I am mistaken, but I seem to notice Korean songs and only Korean songs. SDO, on the other hand, has a mixture of English, Chinese, Malay, Japanese, Hokkien, Korean and probably a few others. Want some examples? Let's see... She Bangs by Ricky Martin and Bad Day by Daniel Powter in English, 霍元甲 by 周杰倫 and 大舌头 by 吴克群 in Chinese, Kenapa and Kembali Senyum in Malay (which I have no clue about other than their song titles), 爱拼才会赢 in Hokkien, Girls on Top by BoA in Korean. And Japanese? Eternal Pose, 15th ending in One Piece! <3 Refer to here and here for more information. Both lead to posts in my blogs. So anyway, obviously songs in SDO are better.

Next, graphics. Both uses 3D engines, with 3D characters and 3D locations. Locations both seem equally match. SDO has locations with minor details included, while Audition is not that "bulky" as in weaker 3D engines. Characters wise, both games are good, but I'll give Audition the thumbs up, as buying clothes in SDO is difficult if you don't pay. -.-

Gameplay wise, SDO pwns Audition, no other words. SDO is like Dance Dance Revolution. During a certain beat or tune in song, an arrow pops up and you press the button. Simple. The arrows perfectly follow the rhythm and the tune. Like during the "Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo" part in Huo Yuan Jia, you have to press the arrowkeys in exactly the way Jay Chou sings, something like ". . .. . .. .". I took a while to master that. -.- Audition, on the other hand, does not follow the rhythm of the song. You choose a set of arrowkeys out of three apparently random arrowkeys, press them, then wait for a sliding thing to reach the center and press space bar, similar to how Tidus' Overdrive in Final Fantasy X works. No following of rhythm. No following of beat. Just a "freaking press the buttons, wait for the slider to go to the middle, hit the space bar and repeat" game. Yawn.

Conclusion: SDO > Audition.

Honestly, I enjoyed SDO ever since Dave introduced it to me, and have still been enjoying it now. Audition, on the other hand, made me wasted six to seven hours downloading it, and I uninstalled it and sent it to the trash bin right after tolerating through one game, which I got bored 25% through.

Come over to the light, brothers and sisters. Stop playing Audition! SDO pwns!

Lazy To Insert Title

Another boring school day.

First period this morning is Chemistry. As usual, Ms Gan didn't show up, so we wasted that hour playing games. Again, imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

Next period is Physics. Mr Lim came, told us something about value-added thingy for fifteen minutes and then let us do whatever we want, which we obviously used to play more games. Again, imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

After that was recess. The Chinese book we had to buy has the same author as last time, and looking at his/her (can't tell his/her gender. Probably a transexual, a homosexual, both, either, or more) face, which is very very ugly, I may add. Disgusting too. Then went to eat sandwiches, went to the library, sing "Somehow is retaining this year!" and read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

English is stupid. We get to see a lame and boring movie. Very lame and very boring. Again, imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

That's three hours wasted.

CME next, but Mdm Low used it to give us a draft of our results slip. Overall I'm satisified. I don't care about reaching any target goals or thrashing any bubs. Happy-go-lucky works for me. I'll only be disappointed and depressed if I had any target, goals or competition. Go figure.

After lessons, we found a cockroach at the corridor. Filled my empty water bottle at the water cooler and rushed to pour every water molecules inside at the cockroaches. Then Keng Chiaw came and finished it with a combination of water attacks and kicking. Uber pwnage.

And then I went home. Who cares about the Geography lesson two hours later? -.-

What Title? No Title! :P

Normal school day, let's see...

First period was self-study. Me and Yoshida were playing board games and cards, and then later Vernon joined in. What a waste of time. Imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

Next is A. Maths, where I am doing corrections for my A. Maths End-Of-Year Paper. What's the point anyway? I study the textbook and only the textbook during revisions before tests and exams. Yup, that's that. Sue me. Mdm. Low was slow though, I was waiting for the answers to question 11 at the end of the period, while she was still only at eight. No choice, I'm too fast.

Then comes recess. We went to the canteen and buy food, then we went to the library and ate outside. Then we went it and saw that annoying bangala from 3R5 or so I think. He's retaining this year, that's what I called OWNED. So I went there and kept singing "Someone is retaining". Can't stop nor control myself. Go ahead and sue me. I don't want to be a bad guy and flame him though, but if you know him in real life, you probably knew that his bad point is that he has no good points. Even as I'm typing this, I think of his face and feels an urge to do a Hero Hero Pistol, followed by a Hero Hero Gatling Gun and then a Hero Hero Bazooka to finish him off. Maybe a Hero Hero Cannon if he is sturdy too. Meh.

English next. Mrs. Abdelaziz didn't come, so she just gave us a worksheet for homework. Finished that useless piece of shit in a moment and continue on to play games. Bleh, another waste of time. Again, imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

Chinese next. Mdm. Goh allows a free period while she sits down and read her newspaper, so it's yet another waste of time. Again, imagine the experience I can earn in RuneScape in that hour.

For goodness' sake, just let us go home and play RuneScape!

Next comes E. Maths, where we continued doing our corrections for A. Maths exam. Mdm. Low, for don't know what reason, likes to block our view of the screen. -.-"

And I guess I will talk about it here:

Yersterday, RuneScape has an update, the Capes of Achievements. Anyone with a Skill Level of 99 gets a magnificent cape with awesome emotes. I get three, Fletching, Questing and Cooking. The bonuses are decent, the stats are fair enough, but the emotes rock. I'll take a video of me performing the three emotes after I'm done repairing my broken pickaxes. Yeah, the exploding rocks broke my pickaxe while I was blogging. I hate this random event. Not the first time I get this. Rather, this is quite frequent. Another reason to dislike mining, I guess.

Ok, I'm at Dwarven Mines now, gonna find the pickaxe-selling dwarf. His name is... Nurmof, yeah.

Time to run to Falador East Bank so that I can withdraw my pwnage capes.

Uploaded.

YouTube: "The video you have requested is not available. If you have recently uploaded this video, you may need to wait a few minutes for the video to process."

Wait a few minutes? Check.

Translation from here. I didn't translate it myself. Don't sue me for bad translating.

Yay, cooking is now ready. Ladies and gentlemen, I present, the emote of the Cooking Cape!



And here's the Quest Point Cape!



And finally, the Fletching Cape!



That's all, folks!

P.S.: Thanks to Peter and Nathan for motivating me to get Level 99 Fletching and Level 99 Cooking respectively. :)

Double Phew

Yay, got both E. Maths and A. Maths papers back today. I'm just plain relieved and happy that I didn't fail anything. Rather, I pwn a certain pro in both of them, and just by a 0.833333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

marks in E. Maths. In other words, 5/6 marks. Now, bub, you got owned. :D

The item presentation about the nine Sec 3 classes talking about Indian and Malay Festivals is just plain boring. I don't even want to recount it or go through it again. :S

Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Phew

Got back seven exam papers today, namely English, Chinese, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, History and Social Studies. Phew, I'm relieved I passed those seven subjects. One should not be greedy but be content (that reminds me of me writing "discontended" in History. -.- The marker better not deduct my marks because of that) with what he or she has. :)

Getting E. Math and A. Maths tomorrow. Totally no confidence in them... Whatever. I'll take it (not "with my strongest Tekkai. Tekkai GOU!", you One Piece freaks. -.-).

Three more weeks and it'd be the school holidays. Darn, I can't wait. Okay, maybe except the homework, I feel like Hero Hero Gatling Gun them all, followed by a Hero Hero Cannon, then a Hero Hero Axe, then I'll activate Gear Second, Hero Hero Jet Pistol, then Hero Hero Jet Bazooka, go into Gear Third and Hero Hero Whip. Ok, I missed out Hero Hero Storm, add that in somewhere. :)

Ok, I'm kind of being stupid here, but you can get what I mean.

Neither can I wait for RuneScape's latest updates. Really hoping for those Capes of Achievements.

Signing off here. C'ya.

Gathering together all of our dreams...!
Going to search for our desires...!
A coin in the pocket,
and do you want to be my friend?
We are! We are! On the Cruise!
WE ARE!

Hmmmm...

Just now watch I Not Stupid Too on TV, the scene where Tom sneaks into the classroom and puts a letter on his crush's table looks too darn familiar...

So familiar, my heart is still crying in pain. T.T Wahh...

T.T

Heh

The post-exam activities we have yersterday at school was boring. Might as well just let us stay at home while the teachers mark the papers? Both party benefits anyway.

My class lost two rounds in Tug-O-War and was eliminated. Why? Because they didn't invite the Hero to play. :P

Though I'm surprised, HOW COULD THE CLASS LOSE WITH ALVIN?! Counting Alvin's weight and gravity, he'd sink into the ground quickly, thus high amounts of friction would be generated. The force applied to move Alvin needs to be higher than frictional force to move him, but his weight is so great that the frictional force is so great, so how could anyone move him? How could Alvin lose?

Another reason why we shouldn't learn Physics. :P

Funny Quotes from One Piece 273

Marine: The pirates have arrived at the Courthouse Plaza!! And then, the gatekeepers of the Main Island's Front Gate, Oimo and Kaashii have joined with the pirates! At the moment, they're destroying the middle part of the Main Island!
Kaashii: Open the way!
Marine: The damage report for our soldiers ehre is exceeding... Two thousand men! Meanwhile, their captain, Straw Hat Luffy, who took down a thousand of them by himself, has suddenly disappeared! We are currently searching for him! This is probably... since Enies Lobby's history began, the first time a situation as bad as this has occured!
Spandam: What's happening? Now, on this island... WHAT IS HAPPENING!?

Luffy: That's no good! If I stay like this... It's no good. When I lost to Aokiji, I thought about it. If strong guys like this are going to appear once again on our road, if I don't get stronger... I won't be able to protect my nakama. That's because even if they aren't strong, I have nakama that I want to keep with me. If I don't get stronger than everyone else, I'll lose them all!
Blueno: Then what will you do?
Luffy: I thought about a way to fight at my fullest. So that I don't lose anyone... So that I don't let anyone drift away...
Blueno: What is he doing? What's happening inside of his body?
Luffy: You won't be able... to keep up with me anymore.
Blueno: What?
Luffy: All of my techniques are going to evolve by one step! Gear Second!

Spandam: Baskerville! Judge Baskerville! Answer, it's me!
Baskerville: Oh, Chief Spandam!
Left-Baskerville: This is Left-Baskerville on the left!
Right-Baskerville: This is Right-Baskerville on the right!
Center-Baskerville: As for me in the middle, I am Solitary Journey at Central Main Line!
Left-Baskerville and Right-Baskerville: Who's that?

Spandam: Tell me the situation over there! I heard that the pirates arrived at the Courthouse Plaza!
Left-Baskerville: The situation?
Center-Baskerville: Yeah, the situation!
Right-Baskerville: The situation is...
Center-Baskerville: In fact, they aren't at the plaza anymore, but inside!
Baskerville: That's a disaster!
Spandam: What did you say!?
Soldier: Ju... Judge, I have a report to make! The huge stone doors of the Courthouse have been cut open... and pirates have invaded!
Baskerville: I can see that for myself, idiot!

Zoro: There isn't too much of a crowd here. Looks like we can go ahead immediately, but...What's that thing?
Franky Family: Ah!? What is that? Those heads!?
Franky Family: He's like that three-headed watch-dog I heard about in a story!
Franky Family: He's Cerlickus!
Zambai: It's Cerberus!

Sanji: Hold it, hold it, hold it! Out of the way, reindeer and idiot swordsman!
Zambai: Suit niichan.
Sanji: In this dangerous enemy territory, I'll be the one who clears Nami-san's path! Get outta the way!
Zoro: That's dangerous!
Zambai: Why are you starting a fight!?
Zoro: YOU WANNA FIGHT!?
Sanji: Shut up! Don't you dare show up on Nami-san's road shamelessly! Nami-san, this way. Follow me and only me!
Nami: You know, we came here to save Robin...
Sanji: That's right, Robin-chan is... She's waiting for me to save her! I hope she isn't lonely and crying at the moment!
Nami: Geez!

Chopper: Zoro ran off while we weren't watching him! Wait, Zoro! That's not the right direction!
Zoro: What?
Nami: I said the staircase! How can you get mistaken and go that way? Are you a fantasia [someone with too much imagination]!?
Zoro: Shut up! Your indications were too messed up!
Nami: There's no way I'm the one at fault!
Chopper: Zoro, next time I'll try to make a medicine! A medicine for hopeless idiots.
Zoro: Hopeless idiots? Oi...
Nami: Chopper...
Sanji: Robin-chwan! I'm coming now!
Nami: Be sure it works for this one too.
Chopper: Okay, understood.
Franky Family: I wonder if aniki will be rescued...
Zambai: They're a "can rely on them when the time comes" type... Maybe... Certainly... Probably...

Blueno: Gear? Your techniques will evolve? Blowing steam from all over your body... Is this your imitation of a steam engine? What kind of bluff is this?
Luffy: I'm glad I met all of you here. Thanks to you, I'll be able to move forward without losing my nakama.
Blueno: What are you saying? I don't get it. Isn't it because you met us that you're about to lose your nakama? What you're saying keeps getting weirder and weirder. Have you gone nuts or something?

Blueno: No way! No, there's no mistake.
Luffy: I'm glad I met all of you here.
Blueno: This man really... He assimilated one of the Rokushiki techniques, soru, and is now using it! Air Door!
Luffy: He disappeared.
Blueno: There can't be such a ridiculous thing. A pirate scum who's able to fight using soru? No... Not only did he use soru, but he enhanced huis body to the point that it can withstand the technique. Did he have such a dormant ability from the start? This is a joke of bad taste. However! There is no way someone can catch up with a Rokushiki user's speed! There is no way I can lose! If I turn his body into a door and seal his movements, he won't have any chance. I will charge with all of my might and settle this fight. Door Door!
Luffy: When you guys move as if you disappeared, I saw you kicking the ground over ten times in an instant. I understood the trick, and I'm glad to know there's a technique to move like this. I'm glad I met you here. Thanks to this, I'll be able to protect my nakama for a long time. Gomu Gomu no...!
Blueno: I'll take it. With my strongest tekkai! TEKKAI GOU!
Luffy: JET BAZOOKA! You're really one sturdy guy... Then I'll show you something even more interesting. Look at this! Gear...!

Luffy:I'm so exhausted! Just as I thought, my body can't keep up with this yet. Maa, I don't care about my body for now. I've faced a lot of hindrances...

Marine: Damn it! What's happening?
Soldier: The cannons! Fire the cannons! Otherwise we'll be crushed!
Kaashii: As if we'd stop there, tiny soldiers!
Oimo: Oimo! You can't stop us!
Paulie: I really can't believe it! Those troublesome gatekeepers are now our allies!
Soegking: That's what is called a warrior's luck! Saa, brothers! The Courthouse is right there! Charge in!

Marine: What are you doing? Hurry inside!
Soldier: Aren't the pirates already in the Courthouse!?
Marine: A frog is standing at the central door, so we can't enter!
Soldier: A frog!?
Franky Family: Don't let even one of them inside! Yokozuna, hang in there! If we fail here, thousands of them will flow inside! Withstand it until the drawbridge is lowered!

Chimney: Giants! Giants! Giants are our allies! Giants! Giants! Giants are our allies!
Kokoro: Everything they're doing is pretty interesting. A sane person would never do anything against this island.
Chimney: Giants!
Kokoro: Behold, Chimney. Whether they die or survive in the end, striving to achieve what nobody in the past hundred years was able to do, this incident will astound everyone in the world. Once this battle is over, that Straw Hat brat's name will roar throughout the whole world!

Luffy: ROBIIIIN!!!
Franky: He's here!
Robin: Luffy...
Luffy: I CAME TO BRING YOU BACK!!!

One Piece 279

One Piece 279 is bubbish, no other word for it.

After last episode where Sogeking burns down the flag with a pwnage Hissatsu Fire Bird Star, the drawbridge lowers, but the Marines fire a Mortar Cannon and manages to stop it halfway. Kokoro starts the Seatrain, Rocket Man, and charges towards the Courthouse, telling Nami that she heard everything and asking her why didn't they jump. Nami told her that the drawbridge is only half lowered, but Kokoro tells them to jump anyway. Luffy gets what she means, stretches two arms out, seriously freaking everyone out, and jumps down with them, Nami, Sogeking and Chopper all crying. Franky also joins them and jump. As they jump, Luffy thinks of his past with Shanks, how he ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi, about Higuma the Bear comes to the bar, mock Shanks and Shanks still can laugh, how the Red-Haired Pirates defeated the bandits led by Higuma (actually just Lucky Roux killing one with a pistol and Ben Beckman defeating everyone else but Higuma by whacking them with a rifle), how Shanks protected Luffy against Lord of the Coast, a Sea King, and lost his arm and how Shanks gave Luffy his Straw Hat, telling him to return it to him when he surpasses him.

Meh, if I wanted to watch Luffy's past, I can just go to YouTube and watch episode 4, right? -.- Worse, they are showing two more next episode, Zoro's and Usopp's. Zoro's is actually pretty good, about Kuina, Wadou Ichimonji and their shared dreams, while Usopp's is downright lame, about his mother dying and his father becoming a pirate. Bleh.

Chopper Man

Yay, Chopper Man, a short for One Piece 279, has been released. I'm still downloading 279 though.

Seriously, the short is lame. Usopp became Usobada, some evil mad scientist, while Chopper became Chopper Man, some superhero. Usobada wants to kill Chopper and comes up with some plans to invite him to his evil castle and kill him. His underlings got Chopper Man, who starts treating it like his own house, angering Usobada. Chopper Man then sees a huge robot outside Usobada's castle, the Giant Luffy Bomber, which is Usobada's greatest inventions. Based after Luffy, Giant Luffy Bomber has one bunch of artillery, including pistols, rockets, bazookas, gatling guns, bullets, shotguns, rifles, cannons and missles, all named after Luffy's attacks. Too bad he didn't have whips, mallets, sickles, spears, scythes, axes, hammers, windmills, bowguns, crossbows, propellers, submarines, buzzsaws, fireworks, hooks, flails, volcanoes, screws, slingshots or juttes. o.O Anyway, Chopper Man got into Giant Luffy Bomber, which does something like a Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol (did I mention that it is fifty metres tall and as big as the bloody castle?), sending Usobada and his three Evil Officials blasting off Team Rocket style, complete with bright stars. The three Evil Officials were Zorogiller, with an Onigiri (Rice Ball) helmet to signify his signature attack Oni Giri (Demon Slash), Robiflower, with a flower as a helmet and six arms to signify his Hana Hana no Mi (Flower Flower Fruit), and Sanjilops, wearing a lizard costume, smoking three cigarettes at once, having the standard love-shape eye, and added "lops" behind his name to mean "cyclops", seeing he only got an eye (his hair covers the other). Chopper Man then took Giant Luffy Bomber home.

Another day, Namifia, Chopper Man's manager who makes sure his jobs go well, based on Nami (I think the "fia" comes from Kalifa, Iceburg's secretary *cough* *cough*. Both wear spectacles as well), informs Chopper Man that he has a job to do. Chopper Man wants to send Giant Luffy Bomber, but it was missing. Namifia raises her hand, all five fingers having a ring with a big gem each, and says that she sold it.

End.

Lame, right? -.-

This hero wants a chio bu to be my manager like Chopper Man though. :P

One Piece 277/278

Yay, One Piece 277 and 278 are finally out.

277. Ohara's Tragedy! Terror of the Buster Call!
This continues on Robin's past 20 years ago on Ohara, West Blue. Clover declares to the Five Elder Stars, as well as the CP9 and Ohara archaelogists there, about his research. According to him, the people who made poneglyphs had a strong enemy and fear being decimated. Thus, they write down things in unbreakable stones for people in the future to read. Apparently, that "enemy" was the World Government, which bans the reading of all Poneglyphs. The Five Elder Stars think that he knows too much and instruct the CP9 to shoot him. That they did. Then the Buster Call arrives and attacks Ohara. The Tree of Knowledge catches fire and the archaelogists immediately run inside to put out the fire and save their library. The CP9 then drags Olvia away, proclaiming that Olvia knows something they need/want to know. Then Robin remembers a bit about her mother and asks Olvia if she is her mother. Olvia said no, not wanting her daughter to be the daughter of a criminal. Robin then told Olvia that she missed her, insisting that she is her mother. Olvia then starts crying, along with Robin. The CP9 quickly runs off, fearing they may get attacked by the Buster Call as well. Robin and Olvia had a tearful reunion, but then Saul came. Olvia instructs Saul to get Robin to safety, and Saul did so, despite Robin's protests that she wants to be with her mother. Olvia stays back to protect the Tree of Knowledge. Meanwhile, Saul gets under attack by the Buster Call, risking his life just to make sure Robin is safe. After many taking many attacks, Saul is finally fed up. He softly places Robin onto the ground and attacks the Buster Call ships, destroying six out of ten of them. If he jumps and body slam the sea, he can conjure up a tsunami able to take down and swallow up all ten ships at once though. Better than Alvin, he can make Pluto drink seawater. Anyway, Saul then grabbed Robin and ran, but Vice Admiral Kuzan (Admiral Aokiji today) froze his legs and stopped him. Saul told Robin to run, using the raft he built to escape. Saul and Aokiji fought and Saul lost (ironically, after defeating Jagaur D. Saul, he faced and thrashed another carrier of D, Monkey D. Luffy). Before his entire body froze, he told Robin to laugh even when she is sad or in pain, and then laugh with his signature "Dereshishishi" and turned into ice (Carriers of D laugh or smile when they know that death is unavoidable. Gol D. Roger smiled at his execution 22 years ago, and Luffy smiled too when he was almost executed by Buggy, at the exact same spot where Roger died). When Robin reached there, Aokiji was there already, sitting on a boat. Aokiji told Robin that he is not her ally, but that she should run and live a plain life, but if she became a criminal, Aokiji would be the first to kill her. He froze two lines onto the sea, so that the sea between them lead to another island. Robin gets aboard the small ship and laugh like Saul as she sails, crying uncontrollably. (In the manga, Robin rides on Saul's raft, big enough for a giant, duh.)

278. Say You Wanna Live! We Are Nakama!
Robin had a flashback of the near past, like she meeting the masked CP9 in Water 7, she declaring to Sanji and Chopper that she will no longer be in the Straw Hats, that she has a darkness inside her not known to the Straw Hats and that the darkness will consume them later, she making a deal with the CP9 to assassinate Iceburg and frame Straw Hats for it, she trying to assassinate Iceburg and telling him that the deal was to get the six Straw Hats but herself out of Water 7 safely, she listening to Spandam telling her that the Straw Hats came to Enies Lobby but will be crushed by the 10 000 Marines (though we all know who crush who), she listening to Luffy shout "ROBIN! WE COME TO TAKE YOU BACK!" at the top of the roof of the courthouse after defeating Blueno, and she declaring to Luffy that she wants to die. She comes back to the present, and she, Franky and the seven of the CP9 (Blueno and Nero were defeated by Luffy and Franky already) at Enies Lobby facing Nami, Zoro, Luffy, Sogeking, Sanji and Chopper at the roof of the courthouse. Franky was mostly hiding though. After a lot of talking, Luffy finally shouts "I HAVEN'T HEAR YOU SAY YET! SAY YOU WANNA LIVE!" Robin, crying, shouts "I WANNA LIVE! TAKE ME OUT TO SEA WITH YOU!" Nami nods, Sanji, Sogeking and Chopper smiles, Zoro draws and sheaths his Wadou Ichimonji (One Road To Harmony) and Luffy declaring "Leave that to us.". Luffy then said "I know who is Robin's enemy now." then he called "Sogeking.". Sogeking replied, "Hmm?" And Luffy points at the World Government flag, saying "I want you to burn down that flag." Soegking replies "Of course", freaking Spandam out. Sogeking then shows off, "This is my newest, the Giant Peashooter, I call it Kabuto. Look at its firepower. HISSATSU FIRE BIRD STAR!" And Sogeking shoots out a flaming phoenix at the World Government flag, seriously freaking Spandam out, as well as the Marines and soldiers. A Marine exclaims, "Burning down a flag... They are declaring war on the World Government!" Spandam asks, "Do you know what you did? Do you think you can win against the whole world?" Luffy loudly, confidently replies, "YOU BETCHA!" Spandam seriously freaks out now.

ARGH!

Got to rant.

MY FUCKING BLOODY HELL MODEM KEEPS DISCONNECTING EVERY FUCKING TIME I PLAY RUNESCAPE, IT'S REALLY FUCKED-UP! I CAN'T EVEN PLAY PROPERLY FOR TEN MINUTES WITHOUT BEING DISCONNECTED! BY ROBBING ME OF A GOOD RUNESCAPE PLAYING TIME, YOU ARE DRAINING THE ESSENCE OF MY LIFE, THE LEETNESS BEHIND MY SOUL AND THE PWNAGE INSIDE MY HEART! YOU BLOODY CURSED MODEM, IF YOU KEEP DOING SO, I AM GOING TO HATE YOU BLOODY FOREVER! I'LL THROW YOU OUT OF THE WINDOW AND WATCH HOW YOU DO ACCELERATION OF FREE FALL, G! MAYBE I WILL ALSO CONSIDERATE FLYING UP TO UPPER SPACE AND THROWING YOU DOWN TO ALSO WITNESS THE ACCELERATION OF FREE FALL, G! I SWEAR THAT I WILL THROW YOU DOWN SO FORCEFULLY THAT THE FORCE GENERATED WHEN YOU HIT EARTH WILL BE WAY HIGHER THAN ALVIN'S (FORCE = MASS X ACCELERATION. ALVIN'S MASS IS 800KG, ACCELERATION OF FREE FALL IS 10M/S2, SO FORCE WILL BE 8000N)! SO YOU BETTER FUCKING WORK NOW, OR ELSE YOU WILL DIE A HORRIBLE AND TERRIBLE DEATH. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Yay, I feel much better now. Better not play RuneScape while downloading One Piece 277 and 278, or else I will get disconnected again and had to restart and waste ten precious minutes of my life which can be used to do better things like gained a Runecrafting level. Bitch modem.
