My Results

So. I have finally come to terms with my results after nearly four days. Or a little more/less than that.

I got the answer to life the universe and everything minus the number of horns on a unicorn.

A disappointing result, to be sure.

But infinitely better than the number of legs on a sphinx multiplied tenfold.

ITS OK JONNY WE STILL LOVE YOU WORX

Countdown: 3




Okay, so it seems that results are going to come out in three days.

Hang on, let's think about that statement again.

Results. Are. Going. To. Come. Out. In. Three. Days.

Wait...WHAT?!? Holy crap! NO GODDAMNED WAY! What's happening here? How is this possible? *cue random screaming and crazy antics like head-banging against the floor just before grandma comes in and then quickly pretending you're doing push-ups*

No, I REFUSE TO BELIEVE. THAT STATEMENT IS FALSE.

Okay, okay. So it is false. Here's the true statement.

Results are going to come out in less than three days.

Goddamnit. *#&^$*(%!@^$(*&^$(*&^*&(*&@!#**^!*!%!*!@&4512435

All right. So I am going to ignore the fact that I haven't been posting on this blog since the dinosaurs went extinct. I'm going to ignore the fact that half the people in the world have been rejected by Oxford. I'm going to ignore the fact that results are going to come out in three days - or less than that, if you're really looking forward to it.

AND I AM INSTEAD GOING TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. BECAUSE IGNORANCE IS BLISS YEAH.

Actually, I'm going to focus on quite a number of different things. Because being ignorant is extremely difficult, I was forced to employ several different techniques in order to make sure that I had no time to think about the results. And when I say no time, I mean NO TIME WHATSOEVER. And considering that I have a lot of time, it has proved to be very difficult.

Okay, so one of the most time wasting, most engrossing things on the planet would probably be the Final Fantasy series. Yep, complete time waster. According to the final timer at the end of the game, I have wasted a total of 62 hours on the game. Excellent for my purposes, and it usually has a good story, too.

Unfortunately, Final Fantasy 3 is one of those FFs with no story. And I mean, NO STORY WHATSOEVER. Gosh, even I could write a better story than that. Although I must give them credit - it was made during the time when RPGs were only just getting popular. As far as I know, Final Fantasy 4 was the one which actually featured an engaging storyline.

Oh well, it was still quite fun lah. I mean, it was better than SOME games I've tried. And the final boss is very fun. And by very fun, I mean "WHAT THE FREAK WHY IS THIS BOSS SO BLOODY IMBA GOOD GOD WTF THIS ISN"T POSSIBLE HOLY SHIT ARGHARGHARGH".

Like, seriously. Picture this. I beat the pre-Final Boss in two turns. Mostly because my characters are seriously imbalanced and do about 33000 damage per turn, with the pre-Final Boss having about 35000HP. Hip-hip-hooray-God-damn-it-why-is-he-worth-so-few-EXP. And then the FINAL BOSS SHOWS UP.



Okay, so now I do zero damage per turn. Uh. Okay. WAIT WHAT. YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT?! HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO BEAT THE BOSS IF I DO ZERO DAMAGE PER
TURN!? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!

Okay, calm down. Maybe this is like...I don't know, some defense phase or something. Yeah, like for Poseidon in Golden Sun 2. You had to use the Trident to destroy Poseidon's watery shield, or else you'd do single digit damage to the guy. Yeah, maybe that's what's happening here. Maybe I have to use the four fangs in succession to blow this guy to pieces. Mmhmm, yeah, that sounds about right. Uh-huh. Okay, so next turn, I will have to...


FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU~

SO NOW HE DOES 9999 DAMAGE TO ME?! ISN'T THIS A BIT IMBALANCED CONSIDERING THE MAXIMUM HEALTH AVAILABLE IS 9999?! IS THERE SOMETHING I HAVEN'T DONE LIKE KILL THE FIVE WYRMS OR DEFEAT THE FOUR TIKI STATUES OR SOME SHIT LIKE THAT!? WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN -

Okay...okay. Calm down. So where was the last save point again? *Finds out it was at least 10 levels ago.* Ragequit.

So I didn't actually finish playing Final Fantasy 3. You can't really blame me. I mean, wouldn't you have done the same thing? Seriously, just seeing something like that makes my blood boil. IT MAKES MY SKIN SUBLIMATE OH GOD. Okay, maybe not. Oh well, on to Final Fantasy 4. I'm kind of looking forward to Final Fantasy 4, especially because I read the comments section on the online forum, and the first three posts were essentially the same thing.

"I don't remember dying this much."

Oh yeah. Fun.

Yet another thing that I have used to take up my free time: Umineko no Naku Koro ni. Or, literal English translation, "When the Seacats Cry". Doesn't that sound like the most awesome story you've ever read? Booyah!

Okay, so maybe not. The actual English translation is "When the Seagulls Cry". And holy shit it is some epic thriller, fantasy, mystery, troll (is this even a genre? I think it should be), anti-fantasy and anti-mystery all rolled up into one. You won't understand the last two genres until you actually read the novel, because it's just too difficult for me to do it justice.

Recently (and by that I mean 2 weeks ago), I finally read the 5th installment of the Umineko series. And by the gods, was it awesome. I mean, Demel kept spoiling me as to what the story was about (ERIKA IS A GODDAMNED STALKER) and all that jazz, but it was still a great (if short) read!

It comes with whole new troll characters and shit, with terrible drawings and the most screwed up facial expressions I've ever seen. Dlanor A. Knox is one crazy crazy crazy demon. Or angel, depending on how you look at it. I shall take the time to quote her in this small space.

Hooyah! That is some epic shit if I ever saw it. I mean, I don't even what that means! That's how epic it is!

The Courtroom scene was one of the most epic battles I've ever seen, the only problem being that it is the place where you learn that ERIKA IS A GODDAMNED STALKER. Battler jumping out the third storey window was also awesome, as was the swordfight at the end of the whole thing. And of course, the newest addition to the list of truths can you throw around.

The only problem that I can find with this particular addition to the Umineko series is...the LACK OF RONOVE AND GAAP AND THE STAKES OF PURGATORY. Seriously, they're the most awesome characters, even if they are made in the USA. T_T

Well...I think that's it for today. I will have to do another post tomorrow so that I can take my mind of my stupid incoming results. For now though, it's back to listening to trollmusic and Final Fantasy 4.

Cheers.
