So I got my GT and doodled myself (and forgot to color the eyebrows, I'm that awesome)

I should practice moar. ):

It's 24" big and has a FULL-HD PANEL!!11 O M G!
I'm in love. Playing Geometry Wars² in FullHD is like... whoah, seizure.

I was reluctant to buy Geometry Wars 1, because there was nothing the full version could give me that the demo didn't have. That, and I have it for Wii. But GW2 is awesome. Six Game Modes! And Waves is pretty hard.
I'm still desperately trying to get the WaxOff, Rebound and... what was it? The one where you have to activate 30 zones in King without shooting. That's hard as well (I think it's called treaty). And I'd like to reach the end of sequence, but I always lose around 3-4 zones prior to the end. Sigh.

At least my desk looks really kickass now. Only now have I noticed how sucky my old TFT was. Oh god.

I was finally able to play some more. I stopped around June 30th. Now I'm on August 9th. Yay, Koromaru. I should get Ken soon, too. Floors 90-115 were really fun in Tartarus, awesome enemies (except for that one Shadow who doesn't have any weaknesses and damn high defense. I think Mudo might be worth a shot there so it doesn't take as long).
Anyone else always starts thinking about "If my friends were SLinks, which Arcana would they be?" while playing P3? Because I sure did and I can't decide.
Talking about SLinks. Is it better to just max them one by one or keep them all up? I still have all the girl's SLinks around Level 4 because I don't want to decide yet and I'm scared I might forget one and that SLink will break on me :P... I just maxed Charm and Courage. I think I'm just some points away from maxing Academics. Yay.

On a different notice. Why did I suddenly get the urge to play a MMORPG? I don't have the time to do it, I won't do it and I don't really want to. I just had the urge to do it. I hate my brain sometimes. I mean, the only MMOs worth playing are WoW and FF11. Everything else sucks. I played RO to death, Guild Wars and Phantasy Star(s) are far too instanced... WoW's community sucks. FF11 feels like work.
And I don't wanna pay monthly fees. Ahhh I love how I can defeat that urge by listing the bad points.

On a completely different one: I just finished watching Code Geass 18: HOLY SHIT!

FUCK YEAH!!

I slept ten hours today and it would've been more if these two pigeons hadn't decided to make out on my neighbor's balcony and if he hadn't decided to bang against his window and scream "FUCK OFF YOU DAMN BIRDS!!". I was kinda awake after that.

But still. FREEDOM!

But I'm not. So here are some memes for you.




Some German thing I translated for you guys.

Yes, I'm Steve Job's bitch. Damn that guy.



I got my iPhone 3G today and it's pretty cool. I'm not like "omg, best thing evaaaaaar", but it's really nifty and a great toy to play with. I just hate my new number, but I can't change anything about that. I'd better get started memorizing it.

And well, since I'm a gamer at heart. The first thing I did was to try out the games~

( About games )

I think the iPhone/iTouch might be a great handheld gaming device!

(Sorry for the bad English, I was in a rush writing this.)

So, let's talk about some things. I couldn't decide, so you'll just get the load of it :D




Okay, that was a lot. Just one more topic - Anime - and I'll shut up.



Sorry for that. I'm just bored :P

That's all I have to say.

I bought GTA IV... I didn't want to at first but I did. And it's good. I didn't think it would be. GTA III sucked, Vice City was okay and San Andreas was shit, but GTA IV is really good.

This morning I woke up, brushed my teeth, had breakfast and then I thought "let's play GTAIV for ~three hours. Well ...let's just say that didn't work out.

I stopped playing eight hours later.

I'll go to bed now and dream of dead prostitutes.

Well, apart from that I'm still busy with my seminary, which I will continue today. Tomorrow is my day off, so I'm hoping I can work on it the whole day, so I'm done this weekend. Doing the Powerpoint (which I'll make in Keynote I guess, I want to try it out :D) should be an easy task compared to the 20 pages I'm writing right now.
Actually it's not the writing which gives me problems... it's cutting stuff. You know, I like computer science and in my opinion everything in that book was really important and interesting and "good-to-know". But I have to cut the content to 20 pages. It just feels... bad to do that. Because I have the feeling no one will be interested in it after my speech and look up how memory allocation really works in detail.

They don't need to know and it's better if I don't force it on them so they listen, but it still feels awkward every time I have to teach someone something I like.

Sigh.

... I'll get to work now, I just played 20 minutes of IIDX and went to bed for about an hour. Linux calls.

I just accidentally deleted around ~four Hours of work.
DAMN. I suck so much. Why didn't I save and why am I too dumb to press the right button....

Well, I guess that means I won't sleep tonight, so I can do everything that's on my schedule.

until Persona 3 FES. WHOOO! Is what I'd love to say, but I won't really have a lot of time to play it... out of multiple reasons:

1. I have a lot of other games to play (P3FES has pretty high priority though, considering that I bought a new PS2 for it)
2. Homework
3. Lectures
4. Homework
5. ... Homework

Oh there's an Anectote concerning this:


Yeah, I'll probably still play it, I know I won't be able to resist.
But there's a lot of other stuff.


Geh.

Okay, I just woke up, got some caffeine and dressed myself, I have to go to uni in ~20 minutes, but there's something I have to write first.

What the hell was that dream?

At first I'm at my grandmother's place, where she tells me something about a package ("You didn't receive it yet?"), and I'm really expecting a package from my grandmother, so that's probably why it was in that dream. I checked eBay and I sold something for 50Eur and Janina sold some Hikaru no Go GBA Game for 20Eur. So I decided to go home and package the thing I sold (I never found out what it was :( ).
So I got home - like instantly, even though my grandmother lives 130km away - and there was that package from my grandmother, and there was a bug in it. He said: "I'm a cocoa bug". And I just was standing there, staring at the bug running around. And I could klick on him. KLICK ON HIM. LIKE WITH A MOUSE.

Then I woke up.

Cocoa-Bug? What the hell is a Cocoa-Bug? Do they make Cocoa? Do they taste like Cocoa? Can you dissolve them in milk?
I totally want to draw one now...
 

I feel strange now... I had to write that.
Where the hell did that come from?

You may have noticed - or not, that's alright as well - that I was kinda gone for the last seven days or something.

That's because I had to work on a project. I had to deliver the rough draft on April 14th, now I have to do the rest until like ~May 5 or something like that, somewhere around there, he didn't give me a new deadline, but I want to be done until then. Which means I have to continue today... meh.

University also started and I'm kind of busy.

( Lectures~ )

This semester will be hard... :(... There's going to be like ten exams for me.

( Exams )


Don't try to talk to me in the latter half of July and the first of August ;)
That wouldn't be a wise decision.

And something else is bothering me, too.

( Personal Ranting Crap )
Okay I'm going to do something for that seminary now.. D:

So I finally started playing MOTHER 3, I blame smashdressing  and the Claus there. I was surprised. Apart from Hinawa's Letter there were no Kanji in the game yet, and even the Kanji there were easy to get (Kodomo etc), so I can read it.
The thing that kept me from playing it was, that I really don't like to play a game with a script, I did that for Final Fantasy 10 back when it was new (it wasn't worth it) and it was horrible :D... But that had voice acting, this hasn't.
My Japanese skills are only from watching anime. I can watch raws and all that and I can understand what's going on. I just suck at Kanji.

I'm not proud of it though. Damn Weeaboos.

But it's some kind of skill I have (even though I'm not proud of it) and if I can use it to play MOTHER3 without having to look up EVERYTHING, that's alright with me. I'm still reading the script on the part I've played afterwards.

So, the game. I really like it. I finished Chapter 1 and it was really touching. I don't want to spoil anything (everyone's spoiled because of Brawl anyway, I know I'm heavily spoiled) but it's really worth it for now.
There's an awesome menu patch over at Tomato's MOTHER 3 Translation Blog which everyone should read. I'm enjoying the blog because I'm studying computer science, so I get real kicks out of the entries talking about the hacking process ;)

Also, while I'm not that far yet, I love the Ultimate Chimera. It's so cute and awesome and ultimate. I even hacked myself forward to Chapter 8, just to capture the awesome toilet scene :D...
Even some Ultimate Chimera seems to have to go to the washroom once in a while <3

Awesome. Ultimate!

I also finished FE9 again, but I'm holding back on playing FE10 because there's some stuff I have to do. OH AND I BOUGHT FE6. DAMN YOU, FANBOY INSIDE OF ME.

I'm going to read up on some UNIX stuff now.

Meh.

WHAT. THE. FUCK. SIMON, WHAT WHERE YOU THINKING?

( Some Awesome Gurren-Lagann Crack Right Here )


What the hell. I love it D:...

Well, I don't really have much to say, except for some small things.
First of all, I bought a new PS2, it should arrive sometime this week. Whoooo. I can finally play Silent Hill Origins and finish those games I talked about. 200€ gone, but they're worth it... I hope so at least.
I'm also fanboying Fire Emblem again. I blame fedressingroom, because I randomly started playing FE10!Rolf and FE9!Sothe there. Gawwwwd.
I'm currently playing FE9 again, so I have something to transfer over to FE10. Memory Card issues. I'm at chapter 23, so I'll be done sometime this week.

Problem: I need to study, too. The tutor-guy wants a rough draft done on April 14th. I was kinda sick today, so I didn't do anything. I'll start tomorrow... Argh.

ONEGAIIIII ONEGAIIIIIIII~ Sorry. *watches CH!Simon some more*

It's Easter. Happy Easter. So I have to go visit my grandparents. Which means I'll be gone until Wednesday. There's no Internet back there anymore, at least no Internet connection I can use (don't have any "friends" left there) so yes, I'll be pretty much gone for some days.

Lucky you.

You know, I'm glad I phoned my mother before I went out to the library, I have a bunch of books to bring back and I really need this book. Okay, they don't have that one, that's too new, but I'm thinking that the 2nd Edition will suffice for the basics. At least I hope so, because there's no way I'm gonna pay 80€ for that book. The topic may be interesting and I do need it, but not 80€, no.
But it's a holiday today (screw holidays, I don't have lectures anyway) so I couldn't go and had to pirate download the book and convert it to pdf. That pdf now has a size of 187MB and a pagecount of 22935. The formulas and code snippets (fuck you, deadlocks) are a bit stretched, but I really wonder how that pagecount came to be. Well, I'll find out later. This will do until I can get it from the library on Thursday.

Okay, something for me: (don't mind it)


Okay, that should be it. See you Wednesday.

So I'm making an entry without any real content. Isn't that just great? Randomness yay.

Yesterday (or rather today) I had some great Brawl matches with saphrawn  . Later some people from her Friend Roster joined, it was really fun and I kinda forgot the time. We started at midnight and when I looked at the clock again it was already like 4-5am. Yes, it was that cool :D... I'm thinking of taking Lucas as my main since I kinda start to suck with Ike... sadly. Oh Ike, I need to use you more so you don't stand in Lucas' shadow.
I also started to hate 75m when your opponent is Zelda. That's just lame lol. My favourite stage still is Final Destination (and Temple and Corneria from Melee). Gotta love simplicity.

I also installed MSN on my sister's laptop yesterday and I added her. I'm already thinking about blocking her. I mean okay, she's ten years old, but I didn't expect her to use EVERY DAMN SMILEY she finds on the interwebs. I'm only waiting for QQQQQ and %D. God, I hate those. Not that I expected to really talk with her, but I didn't think I'd wanna block her that fast.. :D

Enough randomness. Just one more thing.

I didn't get to play Persona 3 at all, because my PS2 broke around June/July last year. That's why I have a lot of unfinished PS2 games, too.

I.e.: Digital Devil Saga (both...), Tales of the Abyss (it died when I was 1h away from the last boss), Final Fantasy 12 (I finished it, but there's some stuff I'd like to do), Dragon Quest VIII (see FF12), Okami, Odin Sphere, Disgaea 2, Atelier Iris 2 (and well, I never got to play 3) and some more I guess. Wild Arms for example.
Now I watched some P3 vids and I'd really love to try the game, but I'd need a new PS2 first and meh... money.

But it really looks cool, the Art direction is great, the music sounds cool and the system sounds interesting. I can't say much about the story and the characters, but they don't sound bad either. The manga is strange, but manga from video games are never really good. The Star Ocean 3 one wasn't really good either.

Me want :(
