Synthesis: Why did I post those last 3 entries?
Now... you guys may wonder, why the heck is this guy dedicating 3 blog posts to post like some angsty kid who just wants to let out all his rage regarding certain issues/people/himself?
Well, as stated in the titles of the series, they're just there to ease my mind, especially on the first 2 posts.. As in, those things have been plaguing me for like quite some time now. Some I've already forgotten, but others just keep on persisting. I don't want trash like that to clog up what's in my brain right now, heck no. I just want my mind to be free from unnecessary thoughts. One way to do it is by what I just did: blog about it. Write down all those things plaguing my mind and let them go in the process, just placing them there. At least it made my mind and subsequently my heart at ease.
Another reason is because I don't want my voice to be unheard, specifically on the second post. Freedom of speech so to speak. I don't want my mouth to be censored by duct tape. Yes, I may be blunt and straight to the point but I need to express myself. I don't want my opinions to be locked up inside a cage in my mind for long, I need to express it. And a good way to express those is through this blog.
In closing, the aforementioned reasons are my reasons why I posted those entries. It's up to you guys if you would accept my reasons, but in all honesty, that's the truth. I just don't want stuff to be stuck in my brain for long. and it's getting tiresome to constantly think of those kinds of things.
Well that wraps up this series of blog rants. I'll be updating the blog layout soon, it's been like months since I last updated it. durr~.

Now for this last part, this is more focused on Self-Criticism. Yep. I'll be flaming myself. You might think that this is weird, but it is important for yourself to know what are your own weaknesses and flaws and acknowledge them, as well as thinking of what to do to about those things. Labels: complaining rants and ramblings, personal stuff, randomness, reflectionsRandom Ramblings just to give me peace of mind: PART 3
It's not really a matter of pride, but rather it's an issue of accepting yourself and doing something about your problems. I'll be as honest and blunt as possible here. It's my own problems anyway, so I gotta face them like a man. No point in running away since this is my life anyway, so it's inevitable. It can't be helped.
--------------------------------
Yeah, I'm overweight. by around 12lbs. And yeah, my beer belly is starting to bulge again. I needs more exercise. >_>
--------------------------------
I have a lot of bad habits and mannerisms. Although some have been resolved but there are some that are just too... persistent. It's personally getting on my nerves, but then again force of habit, etc.
--------------------------------
Am I pushing myself too hard when it comes my ideas? Everytime I present those ideas of mine, I tend to insist on it as if it was the correct idea and that everyone else's ideas are wrong. I know that there are no right and wrong ideas, but it seems that due to my persistence and my superiority complex, it's as if I keep on saying to everyone that everything I say is right and their ideas are wrong, which in my view is f. stupid.
I facepalm so hard because of this flaw of mine.
--------------------------------
And probably one my biggest obstacles is my laziness. Yes. I suffer from a strong case of sloth. I'm too lazy and too unmotivated to do anything, although right now I have SOME motivation in the form of dreams and challenges, but that is not enough to make me less lazier than now.
and... vid effing related. LOL.
---------------------------------
Paranoia.... I easily get paranoid, especially if people are giving me the cold shoulder. To the point that I might end up punching the person giving me that cold shoulder.
---------------------------------
I need to learn to communicate more effectively with other people. Most of the time I'm just silent, but when it comes to online forums and blogs, I'm as noisy as heck. I need to transfer that noisiness IRL, not just limit it to the internet. o_O
---------------------------------
Oh and one more thing, I keep on saying "later, later". Why delay when I can just do it immediately? That's probably the reason why I can't really resolve most of these weaknesses and flaws that I have. I keep on delaying it for whatever reason. What.
---------------------------------
All for now. I'm pretty sure there are more but, for now this will do. probably I'll edit this post if ever. It may be a few, but these are the weaknesses and flaws that I have. I admit that I do/have all of these and I'm really a flawed person after all. Then again, who isn't. I just hope and pray that Imay have the strength, inspiration and determination to resolve all these things...

Now, if the previous post dealt with whatever bullshit I noticed to my friends or whatever crap my friends are throwing out towards me, this one is more on certain things that some people, not limited to my friends want me to do, as well as some opinions on some current issues in this country that are somewhat affecting me and my work at this very moment. Expect things to be shorter though. Labels: brain matter, complaining rants and ramblings, meta, opinions, randomness, recent events, reflectionsRandom Ramblings just to give me peace of mind: PART 2
Once again, feel free to comment if you have some clarifications/violent reactions.
--------------------------------------
Clubbing? No thanks. I don't really mingle much with the elite and the privileged. I'd rather party with the poor and the simple people. The proletariat, so to speak. Besides, I'm not really into clubbing, I'm more into street and rave parties. At least I get to meet all sorts of people there and what not. Besides, if you're gonna say that "club for the sake of socializing!", still no thanks. There are other places to socialize. Bars, concerts, heck even in the arcade I can socialize.
--------------------------------------
Smoking? I don't want to get lung cancer this early in my life. So no thanks. And no, as much as possible I must avoid second or third hand smoke. I don't want my lungs to deteriorate faster.
--------------------------------------
One reason why I don't always stick in the same places all the time is because I want variety in life. That's why I don't stay stuck at the house, or at school, or at the internet cafe. I go to the arcade, I go malls, in short, I try to find time to go to place that I always wanted to go, provided I have enough money of course LOL. As long as I get to experience what it's like to go places through public transportation, I'm more or less satisfied~
--------------------------------------
The recent hostage situation? Both the Police and the Media are at fault.
The Police are at fault for not able to handle the situation as carefully and as strictly as possible. Heck, looking at the video, the police are doing very stupid things during the rescue event. Still lol'd at the Sledgehammer going into the bus and the policeman placed his hand into the bus to retrieve it. That was funny yet stupid. Heck. This only proves the incompetency of our Philippine National Police.
The media are at fault here as well. They showed a full Blow-by-Blow coverage of the event, without knowing that the hostage taker may be watching the entire fiasco on the TV inside the bus. The media was also "smart" enough to show the current locations of the police and their actions. Awesome, right? And the best part is, the media claims that they are "restraining" themselves, when in fact as seen from the events, they did not. What the heck.
And now, people are now throwing rocks at each other, blaming each other for this mess. And looks like the Filipinos might have to face the angry community in Hong Kong because of this. If the government can't do something about this soon, we might end up facing China in a losing war, more or less.
--------------------------------------
Communism? No Thanks. It doesn't mean everything is equal means it's fair. Also, individualism and human rights. That's something I do not see in communist nations.
--------------------------------------
Oh yeah btw, it doesn't mean a guy liks anime merchandise and sometimes bring them along with him means a person is an otaku. Know him more before you judge. Actually, stereotyping a person is f. stupid and useless. Every person in unique in one way or another. Please understand.
--------------------------------------
Meh. Too lazy to add any more, but I guess that covers it. I'll add some more should those things pop up again.

lol. It's been nearly a month since that place holder post of mine. I've become too addicted to plurk to be quite honest. Anyway, lately a lot of things have happened to me for the past month or so. Some of those things made me change the way I view at some of my close friends. Labels: complaining rants and ramblings, friendship, randomness, reflectionsSaturday, September 04, 2010
Random Ramblings just to give me peace of mind: PART 1
But meh, tonight, I'll be posting a LOT of blunt and probably harsh criticism just to give myself some peace of mind. I hate having these things loitering in my mind too much and I hate it if I can't say these things out loud in the open. So yeah, although I might end up getting flamed due to this, I just want to get this out of my head. Please bear with me and forgive me if I'm aggressive/rude/hateful in this post.
Note: I won't say the names, but if you got hit by one of the following statements, I apologize and feel free to hit back at the comment post. Freedom of Speech, after all. We have our right to our own opinion anyway. And if have any clarifications/concerns just leave it in the comment field.
Saatte... Hajimemashou!
--------------------------------------
You did tell me you have a problem with me, but the problem is unclear even to yourself. Maybe you're suffering from paranoia perhaps? Or maybe you're just insecure whenever you see me or something? Also, honestly I don't understand about me being in the "grey area" with regards to the people whom you like/hate. isn't that... normal? Since there will always be characteristics of a person that one can specifically like or hate.
--------------------------------------
I hate cynical, ignorant and apathetic people. Period. They're one of the reasons why this country could not prosper and probably one of the reasons why there are people still suffering. You can be cynical all you want, but please, DON'T SHOVE IT TO THE FACES OF THOSE WHO ARE GENEROUS AND KIND-HEARTED. Domo Arigatou Gozaimasu.
And yeah, to be blunt and honest, with the exception of a few people, I easily get bad vibes from people who are cynical/apathetic/ignorant.
Oh btw, stop making things worse for him. He's already suffering enough. Don't make him suffer any more. Your intentions were once good, but your somewhat taking it a bit too far right now.
--------------------------------------
You know dude, winning is not always the most important the most important thing in life. Why do you keep expecting to win in each and every game that you play? Is winning that important to you? Sometimes you have
to experience loss, and losing is no excuse to cry over spilled milk. Why do you keep on blaming others when you and your team loses a match? It's just a game, no need to get serious over it unless it is REALLY a matter of life and death. Just have fun. If you lost, learn from it and do better next time. If you won, don't let it make your head grow big and be happy about it.
--------------------------------------
One of the reasons why they make fun of you right now is because of how you act. You used to be a cool guy. You tend to give out actually decent advice to people and you're really a great person when it comes to computer games. And yet here you are, not being open to everyone and thinking that the entire world is yours and the world revolves around you. What the flying fuck. Remember you are just a speck of dust in the universe. The damn universe is not yours. Therefore not everything will go as you have planned. Just remember three things when it comes to what happens to you: Karma, Murphy's Law, and most importantly, the Will of God.
Also, why the fuck are you still being emo about a lot of things that have happened in the past? Why not just stand up from that damn corner of yours, be at peace with whatever happened to you back then, dust yourself and move on? The process is hard, but you can't just stay stuck there forever ya know, you'll end up wandering endlessly without any direction whatsoever. You might even end up being dead without any useful contribution to the people around you and to the world.
Besides, instead of mourning about it, why not learn from it instead? Even the greatest of men fall from the top of the mountain some time in their lives. And Experience is the best teacher. So what if you've fallen once? That's not excuse for you to hide in a corner forever. Man the fuck up. Learn from those mistakes, move on and be awesome for once.
Oh btw, Fix your issue about pride. It's alright to have some pride, but at least have some space for some humility for once, mmkay? :3
--------------------------------------
You, on the other hand, have some of the same issues as the guy above, except for the pride part, only this time, you got problems not only with your parents, and with your culture, but also, with yourself as well. (This is going to be a lengthier one, I can say)
I wonder why do you still cling to your parents even though you are more or less distant towards them and they only treat you as a sort of an object rather than a beloved daughter. As in, they already oppress you and they;re trying to force what they want into you and yet you still stick onto them? And yet here you are lionizing them and even going as far as helping them because "you pity them". What. Make up your mind for once.
Another thing about you is that you tend to easily change your mind. It's starting to piss me off badly. If you're gonna decide on something, please don't be indecisive, and next time if you decided not to go on with one of my plans, please tell me BEFORE the day of the plan itself. It's f. difficult for me to adjust even the most loose of plans since you took me by surprise with your sudden change of mind. Once again, God damn it make up your mind please.
And sometimes your words confuse me. Your choice of words sometimes makes me misunderstand what you really mean and can lead me to bad consequences. Sometimes you even end up contradicting yourself. What the heck. Make up your mind. Fix how you express yourself. At the very least, explain yourself as clearly and as briefly as possible.
Another thing, I wonder if you really chose carefully who your "friends" are. We can't really say for sure if one is really a friend if he just knows you by chance and just talks to you about random stuff without delving deeper into who you are. In fact, we're not even sure if you are showing your true self to your "friends". What.
Speaking of your true self, have you reflected on who you really are? You keep on insisting that you are a sponge, and yet you also say that you are somewhat critical and you know what to choose and what to avoid. What. You really contradicted yourself there and because of this it really made me ask this again: Do you REALLY know who you REALLY are? Reflect on that. Reflect on what really makes you who you really are. Never be afraid to ask what do you want, what do you like, what do you hate, what do you REALLY think about your friends, your relatives, your culture. Know yourself better. You still have time. It's not yet too late.
Also, why are you so afraid of venturing outside your comfort zones? Peer pressure from your peers? Afraid of things that might happen to you? Unfamiliar places/people? Meh. If you keep on falling into any of those, you won't be able to meet new people at all. Don't be too paranoid about the dangers of going to places, sure there is some risk, but if you're vigilant enough, I'm sure it won't happen that much. Regarding peer pressure, screw that. It's your own life, they have no right to say where you go and with whom you want to go with. And with regards to unfamiliar places/people, don't be afraid to ask and to meet up with random people just to show you the way to where you are supposed to go. Besides, you can always ask out me or the others if you want to go some place else. Point is, don't stay stuck with the same people in the same places. Expand your realm, go explore. Nothing will be lost except some time and money anyway. Expand your horizons and don't just limit yourself within that box of yours.
--------------------------------------
Please stop pressuring me to do something, especially if it is concerning finding a girlfriend. That whole "get a girl within 6 weeks or less" thing? That was a damn joke. Stop taking it seriously damn it. Let me do things at my own pace. Okay? I hope this makes things clear.
--------------------------------------
That'll be all for now. I might end up editing this post sooner or later just to see if there are additional rants that I might've forgotten. Again, I'm just doing this just to clear my head of all these things so that I won't feel guilty of not airing them. If you got some problems/clarifications/violent reactions, just say it to me via private plurk, through ym or through this blog, either via the cbox or the comment field.
next up is Part 2: my thoughts and opinions on some matters.

EDIT: LOL this post was from a few weeks ago when plurk was dead but meh. forgot to publish. gomenasai xD Labels: complaining rants and ramblings, randomness, social networkingSunday, March 21, 2010
Plurk is dead right now but meh, posting this.
LOL plurk = dead. and everyone is mostly offline. seems that twitter is loading slowly as well...
Meh. I was never really a fan of social networking sites. In fact I never really got the point of why social networking exists... Although yeah, it is a good way to track friends and find friends of friends, or long lost loved ones, or even better relatives you didn't even know were there. But that aside, what do social networking sites do?
As in, sites like myspace or friendster don't really offer that much aside from profile look editing, friend search, testimonials, updates and what not... (well, from what I know of, of course. I don't use them anymore). But perhaps a interesting social networking site would be facebook. As in, the applications in facebook are more or less good. However, none of them really interest me. Even the ones that my friends play like mafia wars or restaurant city, they don't really interest me nonetheless.
Then again I could attribute that to the fact that I'm not really that much of a fan of flash or browser based games. I tried a few flash or browser based games. Some are good, but most games are not really that interesting. Add to that the fact that flash and html have limitations and stuff. Maybe I'm just too stuck with games that I need to install in the pc, like mmorpgs or Warcraft for that matter.
Personally though, I don't really find a use for social networking sites aside from checking your friends and what not. I don't really see the value for it. Then again maybe I'm just too cynical about this. One of these days I might try to use some of the more popular applications in facebook or maybe even better just fully maximize the so-called "potential of these websites.

Yeah. Last time I updated this blog was when Cory died. oh well. She'll be remembered for a lot of things. I hope we can move on sooner or later. Labels: academics, anime stuff, career, catgirls, complaining rants and ramblings, lulz, online gaming, perfect world, personal stuff, randomness, reflectionsSunday, August 16, 2009
Anyway, as the topic says, I'll be talking about a lot of stuff in this post; some are personal, some political, some related to anime.
anyway... ELYSIA TALKS ABOUT:
- The whole "Wednesday Drama Day" Scenario
Lulz ensued. You can say it's my first IRL trolling gig. Just kidding. Well, cut the story short, Last Wednesday, I got caught playing in class, then sent to the discipline office, and I got my butt kicked. 1st minor offense. 3 strikes rule applies, so If I do that 2 more times, I'm screwed. Oh well. You won't see playing in class anymore. hahahaha. Regardless though, I kinda regret doing that. Even with whatever excuse i would give, still what is done is done. I'd rather smile and think that I've learned something rather than cry over spilled milk.
- Thesis
Honestly, we're completely lagging behind the thesis crap. It's partly my fault though. I wasn't able to lead my thesismates to do their jobs well. I also was not able to really watch over them do their jobs and I kinda had too much trust on them. Damn. Next time remind me to be a bit more strict.
- Gloria's expensive dinners in the U.S.
Bah, there are too many blogposts about this already, but I'll be posting another blogpost regarding this later. Anyway, she and her entourage spend more or less over Php1M just for fancy dinners. Even if it's not the President herself who spent the money, still the money should be used for charity programs for the poor and the hungry instead of wasting it on fancy dinners. Durr.
In addition to that, I remember someone who is under the office of the press secretary said that the President should not be dined in some fast-food restaurant or just be given a hotdog for lunch. Lulz. I honestly lol'd at that statement. But seriously though, what's wrong with not eating at fast food? Only snooty vain idiots would have what they call "refined taste". It's just another way of saying, it's so for the masses so we hate that crap. durr.
- Bakemonogatari
Hitagi Senjogahara is love. :3
- Aoi Hana
Enough Said. :3
- Motivation and Focus
Bah, early in the term I had lots of Motivation, but as time passes, so too does motivation. Right now, I'm practically brain dead. I'm unmotivated and I lack focus. Some please hit me on the head so that I can work efficiently again.
- Perfect World
Yeah, PW will get a new patch this month. Not sure when but hopefully the teasers will tell more about what is in store for us in PW. And I just hope it will bring more fun than pain. haha.
- Hello Kitty Online
For the lulz, I joined the Hello Kitty Online Founder's Beta. Now I don't have the installer yet but I'm eager to try it out just for fun. haha. I hope Hello Kitty Online will bring joy to those who are fans of the series.
- Cats and Catgirls
I blame 4chan for my renewed love for Cats. LOL CATURDAY and LOLCATS. Ever since then it has become one of my short term goals to get a pet cat. haha. Catgirls on the other hand... I blame this:
Azu~nyan is love. Damn it. Why must K-On! contain such a character?! xD It's because of Azu~nyan that became moar interested in catgirls. hahahaha.
- Career path
Well, after I graduate, it's either I go for a Master's Degree in Computer Science at the same time get an Education Degree with a Major in English, or I work at some company but at the same time I train myself to become a professional gamer at the same time train to become a freelance programmer. Hopefully, by the grace of God, I'll be able to get some motivation and be inspired to work hard for these dreams.
And... that's it for now. Enjoy my rants and ramblings. haha. Also, I might update the layout of this blog. Yunocchi is getting too old now. lulz.

right now, Imma do something else for a change, aside from the usual IRL stuff that I record here, Imma post here my thoughts and comments regarding issues that I see everyday.

of ignorant gamers and developers.
and now for the topic.
Well, I'm pretty sure those who frequent the RFboards know this by now. RF onlne Philippines is being pwned by a lot of cheaters, bug abusers and hackers. Right now, those who are banned from playing RF might be taking revenge as the RF servers are experiencing a Denial of Service attack, probably by them. This is one reason why there are more frequent server crashes on RF these days.
Well, the worse part is that, the players blame the GMs for what is happening. Yeah, it's normal, but then again, are the GMs really at fault?
Think about it deeply. How can the publisher, someone who has no power over the content of the game and is limited to banning and punishing those who go against the rules be at fault? I'm pretty sure they're doing the banning and punishment part (lol just look at the Novus Death Hall for once, the list is so long that it should be proof enough that they're doing everything just to get those cheaters the punishment that they deserve), the problem though is with the evidence. As GM Fariedune mentioned, it takes time to download evidence. Yeah, pictures will take moments, but for videos... that would take hours. And the GMs don't have much time.
But then again, the publishers should exert more effort into banning those cheaters. Yes, they should be given pity, however, they should continue to try their hardest into resolving the current crisis. what they're doing is actually not enough.
Anyway, so, who is to blame for all this? The developers? In RF's case, partly. Why? this picture is related:
That's right folks. Slowpoke.jpg. It's been almost a year since CCR sent the last patch. Now, LU tried to ask CCR for a patch but time and again CCR sent little to no replies. Even now, CCR has just made RF Global but they completely ignored RFo-ph. What kind of developers are they? Are they intentionally leaving the RFo-ph community behind the dust? Nangiiwan ba sila tulad ng mga quitter sa GG Client? Or is this a strategy by CCR let RFo-ph suffer first before they kill the game through a refusal of contract extension? We may never know since CCR does not make it's moves known to public.
Anyway, what about the players?
Well, I'm sure most of the players are not at fault. However, there are some noobs who ar at fault. They're the hackers/buggers/cheaters. They're the freaking root of the problem. You see, in case you're not aware, these guys use 3rd party programs and exploit bugs for the sake of their own good. What's worse is that, it's because of them that got RF into this situation right now.
But what about the players who play legitimately? Do they have any share in the fault? In a way, yes. Why? Because they're not vigilant enough in reporting those cheaters and they're not active enough in developing the community. A lot of players fail to realize that they should act as well in developing the community and to protect the game against cheaters and hackers. But then again, a lot tend to focus more on their characters rather than the community, thus they allowed the game to slowly degenerate. I'm not saying all players are like this, heck no. There will always be players who will continue to help out in developing the community and in fighting against the cheaters. But majority of players really don't give a damn about the community and care more about themselves. Isn't it sad, Sacchin?
TL;DR? Everyone involved is responsible.
So, what can the publishers, developers and players do to solve this problem?
well, lemme list it down:
Publishers:
Developers:
Players:
oh yeah, suggestion to all 3 groups, Instead of throwing the blame, why not accept the fact the all of us has a fault in what has happened and try to unite and work together to solve this problem? Differences aside, me thinks the developer, the publisher and the players should work together to develop a fruitful and meaningful community and to solve the issues surrounding it. It's not yet too late. the problems RF is experiencing right now is a test to the community. Is the community willing to let these problems go out of control? Or should they start working together and unite to solve these problems? It's up to the developers, publishers and especially the players to decide.
*sighs* Well, I hope I got my points straight. this is one long rant. But then again, at least I am doing something about the situation. I hope my fellow online gamers could be a bit more analytical in their approach, and I hope that RF would rise from the ashes and return to it's days of glory.

Well, finals are over, and I think I did my best.Saturday, December 13, 2008
Unfortunately, though, there is still a big deal of uncertainty. As in, I can't be too sure whether or not my finals would be enough to make me pass theocom and archorg.
Been praying day and night and I keep my faith alive that I will really pass.
Man I'm too stressed out worrying about my grades. Seriously, I don't wanna fail my subjects, expecially archorg, since I don't want to be delayed.
But then again, maybe this would be a good time to reflect on my weaknesses. Yeah, perhaps I should start preparing to cope up for all the mistakes that I've done for the past term.
Seriously, this term is one of my worst terms, well, 1st year 2nd term was also the worst, but not as worse as this.
Well, what happened has already happened. I just hope that the finals would be enough to pull me up, and I'm hoping that a miracle will happen. In short, I wish I get AT LEAST A 1.0, as long as I pass the subject, I'll be satisfied.
On a side not though, I just chatted with the GMs on LU's Live blog. It's quite fun xD.

I saw the Diablo 3 Teaser Site a few days back. although some of the storyline stuff were good and all, and I must admit, nearly everything is brilliant. The new classes are quite alright, the monsters are as scary as hell(although I still had to wait for a few more months before I can get more teasers regarding the game and stuff), the gameplay seems true to the original.Friday, August 08, 2008
However, one thing that I can consider as a flop is the graphics, most notably, the environment effects. As in, seeing this petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/d3art/petition.html) as well as the teasers blizzard is giving out made me somewhat realize that diablo 3 isnt as dark as it used to be. In fact, quoting from the petition itself, diablo 3 has a "Cartoon'ish art direction, obviously influenced by the Warcraft universe".
Come on, Diablo != Warcraft. Diablo 3 has a darker, satanic and unholy feel when compared to other similar games like God of War, Assassin's Creed or even better those mmorpgs that came out during this decade, as well as World of Warcrap of course. As in the way Blizzard is making Diablo 3 now... It looks as if Diablo 3 is now a light hearted mmorpg designed for kids. what the fuck.
Reading on with the petition, as well as comparing the photoshopped images with those released by Blizzard, Blizzard seems to have failed in a lot of aspects in terms of the graphics design. The environments, the characters, they all look like they were taken from Warcraft of something. Come on. Like I said before, Diablo != Warcraft. What's worse is that the Light radius from diablo 2 (you know, that huge circle of light that surrounds the player and follows him wherever he goes) is now gone. Seems that it is now dependent on the environment. Which somewhat sucks by the way.
Also, the dungeons no longer have that cryptic and gothic feel. It's as if we're entering some sort of magical castle invaded my mysterious objects. If thats the case then I'd say Blizzard is no different from those faggots from Gaia Online. Not that I have a grudge on either anyway.
TL;DR, Blizzard can do better than that. The Warcraft/Cartoonish style of the current product has enraged a lot of diablo fans everywhere. Hell, almost everybody will agree that they would prefer playing the older Diablo versions rather than play the new one because of the damned graphics that somewhat ruined the mood of the gameplay. The game is still in development. Blizzard still has a lot of time. If they can, they should rehire the people from the Old Blizzard North and let them make sure that Diablo 3 should really reflect what the old game is about: a dark and gloomy world in the verge of destruction.
And.. To those who keep on saying: "Fuck graphics! As long as I can hack and slash monsters it's fine!" Imagine playing a very intense hack and slash game, but with the graphics and environment as shit as hell. How would you feel?
and to those who say, Diablo 3 is fine as is. Keep it that way. All I can say is this. Have you REALLY played diablo? Have you experienced what it's like to expect the unexpected, to enter dark and normally frightening dungeons, to fight countless hordes of daemons and undead while going through the gothic and dark hallways of dungeons? say yes to all these questions and read the petition again. You'll find out that right now, Diablo 3 does not have the capability to relive those intense moments.

bah. it's been another long while since I last updated this blog. Oh well.Saturday, July 19, 2008
about parental love(or shallow hatred, so to speak)
-------------------
*start of rant*
ever know what it feels like not feeling the love of your parents? I'm one of those who experience it, and continue to experience it.
As in, where do you see a father who acts as if he's the superior person in the house. Yeah, the father is supposed to be the head of the household, but he shouldn't be a dictator. Same with my mom to say the least. although she's more of a loudmouth rather than a dictator. And I've been bearing a heavy burden for like what, 18 years?
I really cant take it anymore. I'm being patient for the whole time and yet they still do the same fucking mistakes. I admit, I have my faults and right now I'm trying to get back at my mistakes, but my parents don't. Actually, they're the ones who raised me and my brother in, unfortunately, bad ways. I don't really think that they have given us enough love and care, and that's the thing that I need the most. I can't really say I love my parents, mostly because of the way have treated me over the past few years.
Like I said before, I have my own faults. I'm only human. Yet they're expecting a lot from me. I can't handle that much pressure. And then they would just suddenly plan something that would be good, but they made it at the wrong time. What's worse is that they're persistent; forcing their authority on us and not allowing us to give a proper excuse. What the heck. although yes, they're parents, you should learn to respect them, but what about respect? Sorry, I'm one of those people who give respect to those who earned them. My parents didn't respect my needs and wants. I hate to be filled with unwarranted self-importance and all but, if that's how it is then fine.
The problem with my parents is that their approach to us in incorrect. They think they know my needs, but in fact they don't. I know my needs and I'm trying to express those needs to them, but somehow they ignore them and keep on insisting that what they think are my needs are the best ones for me. Well, they say parents know best. Guess what, that statement is false. Sometimes what parents think is good for their children is actually bad for the children themselves.
To cut to the chase, my parents should learn to know what we want, respect our decisions and of course not to be persistent about certain things. I believe in repentance. I know they can still change. I'm starting to change. I know very well my responsibilities. I'm trying my hardest to fix myself, although that mood of laziness still gets the best of me. I just hope they do the same. And hopefully... Everything will be alright.

*facepalms* It's hard to fight against people who are persistent about their ideas. the authors of the blog that kadiliman linked are either too stupid or too biased to think about what they're speaking. Freedom of speech? Bah, true freedom is impossible to achieve. I'd say they're doing chaos. The reason why rules are implemented is because we do not want chaos to litter all over, and yet here they are, complaining and whining about how indecent the Immortals and Asche are. Talk about stupidity. They're just doing their jobs for Phage's sake. Stop BAWWWWWWW-ing like children and get a life, morons.
And oh, why release your frustrations at a certain blog? why not spit it on the person's face like a real man does, huh? Are you guys brave enough to say those words to a man's face? Or are you guys crying like babies simply because things are not going as you planned?
I pity you, those who bring forth condescending tones and who keep on flaming not only HOL but also on the Immortals and HOL. Why? Because they only know part of the story and treat that part as if it was a fairy tale wherein HOL is the antagonist and the Immortals and the GMs are behind HOL's backs. LOL. Like I said, the Immortals and the GMs are just doing their jobs. IT'S THE PLAYERS WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF FOLLOWING THE RULES. You say injustice? you say prejudice? you say martial law? I'd say it's IGNORANCE. I'd say it's ARROGANCE. ENVY. COWARDICE. Hello? It's the way they wish to do things. If you got a problem with that, go to the head office in Makati and talk to them. Let's see how you guys will end up. And also, why view HOL as the antagonist? Have they done anything bad against the server? Or are you guys jealous because they got lots of land. Take note that only part of the population gives a damn about the territory wars. Most people only want to have fun and be able to level up their characters.
and another, why do they take the TW too damn seriously? It's as if you guys have all the time in the world to talk about these things. What about your real life huh? What about what's happening IRL huh? Do you care about that? Are have you guys degraded yourselves to the point that only the game matters to you and nothing more? Remember that this is only a game for Christ sake. Might i ask, will your words affect everyone IRL? Will those words of all prove to be useful in the development of the country? Will these words spark the flame that will enable the people to make a stand against Real Life oppression and return the spirit of nationalism to our country?
Why am I saying and asking all these things? It's because I want these morons to be reminded that PERFECT WORLD IS ONLY A GAME. IT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. I'm pissed at these guys because it looks as if their lives revolve on the game and nothing more. bah, idiots. They should stop thinking about that VR shit and gb2/RL. And what theyre fighting for is only a product of their little crazy and very stupid minds. If they only adhere to the rules and follow them instead of just going out there, fucking everyone else's fun for the sake of trying to prove their points, then we won't have much chaos as we had now.
TL;DR they gotta shut the fuck up and think about what they're saying for once. oh wait, they're too childish that they'll just persist their ideas with or without proof. hahahaha. poor fuckers. Too bad they'll feel the wrath of the internets real soon.... >=3
---------------
sorry about the stuff I said here in this post. I'm just releasing some anger. hope you guys will understand, since they somewhat ruined my perfect day... =/

Well, as if the TW crap in Dragon server isn't enough. Here we are, yet again with people complaining about slow updates and they want a new server. Why? Because they're impatient eh. They don't know how to wait and they don't have the patience. And like they say, zero patience can lead to persistence and persistence can lead to annoyance. I don't want that to the community.Friday, January 18, 2008
Here's the thing. I can't air my opinions out in the open since the people in the official boards somewhat misunderstand what I say. I try to tell them my opinions, they easily judge. But what the hey. Words won't bring me down. Anyway, that aside, I don't think PW needs a server yet. why? Servers are not really that populated. Yun lang. and the Territory wars is not an excuse. As well as they want a "fresh new start". LOL.
Speaking of Fresh new starts, they keep on stating that they want a fresh new start because they made their characters incorrect. Clearly they haven't heard of try again. They need not to move to another server. They can just start over here and play. Also, I said the Territorial wars is not an excuse since it only involves people with clans. What about those who don't care about the territorial wars and only focus on their levels? also, they said servers are too overcrowded? I've been to the starting cities (Sword, Beast and Feather), and I noticed that there are only a few newbie players there. me thinks they're just generalizing too much because of what they see in the Major Cities(Dragon, Universal, Dreamport)
also, about patches, they keep on complaining about when the patch comes, when will the patch comes and blame LU for everything. blargh. they don't know the development cycle for mmorpgs. Because here's how it works:
Developers -> Distributors -> Players
Developers make the patches then give it to the distributors, which in turn translates the material and passes it to the players. Ganun lang. they can't just blame LU for everything LOL. Primedefender, the Former Brand Manager for pROSE online, as well as Phage, the former Community Manager for pROSE said it themselves. I'm sure it's the same freaking thing for PW-ph. And yet players don't understand that. They don't have the patience kasi eh. They wanted things fast and fast. Why, will rushing things bring more good than harm? I'd say, no.
Those impatient players are really, really persistent about their Ideas. But what the hey. Wala naman talaga silang magagawa kundi maghintay eh. Too bad for them. At least for us who are willing to wait, and who have a high tolerance for things like these, we'll be able to enjoy this game. In conclusion, I pity them.
Besides, Good things come to those who are willing to wait. 'ne? ^_^
I'll talk more about my personal events later. XD

this is addressed to those people @ Dragon server who only spend their time fight about what the heck they're doing @ TW.Saturday, January 05, 2008
The flamebaiting and the bad comments may have not reached the boiling point, but do we need to wait until to goes beyond it?
Seriously guys, you guys waste too much time fighting with words. I'd say, screw words, let's settle this with a brawl. Yun lang. Action speaks louder than words they say. and in this case, with all this word wars and noise, parang daig niyo pa ata yung mga dakdakan at ingay sa senado or sa kongreso or kahit sa showbiz pagdating sa mga "scandal" at mga kung anu-anong mga isyu diyan for once eh. Oh wait, diyan magaling ang pinoy, sa tsismis at sa paninira ng iba at sa sa pagiging tamad at walang ginagawa upang mapaunlad ang bayan. <_<
The point is, you guys are talking too much crap that almost 60% of the population doesn't give a damn about. If you guys are really that serious in fighting in the TW, then go ahead, make a stand for yourself. prove your worth. As if lahat tayo depend nalang sa Celestial. What the fuck. All the clans should do something about this issue, hindi lang sa usap lang nang usap na wala namang pinupinutahan. Even the major clans like Phoenix, Lotus and bhadboys should do something about it. Not just sit around there waiting for something to happen. even those clans na wala nang lupa should do something about it. Otherwise, wala. The flames will just continue and eventually hindi uunlad ang server TW wise.
the point is, every single clan should get involved in the clan war itself, not the preceeding word wars. After all, actions speak louder than words. Wala lang mapupuntahan kung puro salita lang. Dapat may kasamang gawa para mapatunayan ang iyong mga salita.
Also, another point is that bakit TW lang ang pinagbibigyan ng pansin sa Dragon server? Like I said before, it's as a lot of people know about it but in fact around 60-70% of the population doesn't give a fuck about the TW crap. Me thinks you guys should try to focus on other concerns regarding the server: e.g. boss and dungeon hunts, kill-stealing and other major offenses and of course some player-sponsored events. Those things are really stuff that affect the server as a whole not only a select few like what's going on at the territory wars.
in short, instead of focusing on some crap that only few people will benefit, we should focus our attention on what the server as a whole really needs. Aside from the stuff only LU and WanMei can provide(e.g. patches, events and stuff), we should also try to find ways to make the server more lively aside from the TW.
TL;DR, only few people give a fuck about the TW so shut the fuck up and do something worthwhile for once like doing something about the TW mess or even better find ways to solve the other problems the server faces. It's as if the people there only give a damn about the pride of their clan in the Wars rather than the betterment of the Dragon Server.
---------------------------
Sorry for my harsh words. i gotta let off some steam. At least that's my view on what the heck is going on right now.
