'Traffic' Jam

3 times in a week. At this rate, I'd grow a beard and bump bricks with my head to get coins and weed.

Can't exactly point who it is, but there had been hints that it could be my foreign housemate(s) staying downstairs. What was done to the toilet to make it jam was beyond our imagination.

To add some extra flavour of horror, one of the times I found ash-green-coloured stools floating on top of the clogged water.



Yeap. This colour.

Seriously, what do they eat for a living to have this sort of alien stool ???

Ah well, they're gonna leave early next month, so hopefully along with plans to get someone to service the bown, the cloggings will stop.

Our Dear Dragonborn Paladin's Most Glorious Moment

And today's guest - from our awesome Warlock's point of view :-



Yes, he was hiding *UNDER* the canteen table healing himself. A Paladin doing that while the rest of us are doing the ferocious fighting. BRILLIANT.

Also memorable quotes from said Paladin :-

"You goblins are pissing me off ! You've shamed my kind !"

"I'm so going to one-shot kill them with my Dragonborn Breath !"

Ennui at it's best

Life is at it's best when you don't feel like doing anything at all.

Well, at least I felt it that way for now. I had nothing better to do for the past 3 days except to help around the house a bit while some of my family went for a short trip, and lazing as usual. And as a bonus the house was more quiet that usual for the past 3 days. Mental peace.

Which led me to being uninspired and unmotivated, and can't think up of something to scribble, including today as well. Only scooped this up because I want to coax myself to sleep but have to get rid of the pre-slumber ennui clogging up within me.

So yeah.

And to think of it, Year of the Ox is coming over in a week's time, by which starting that time I'm gonna be out of this country for a week to meet my sister in Singapore.

......

Which also means a week without my PC, and my songs and Foobar2k 9.6.1 player with a new layout I configured myself to be more streamlined than the previous one I had. Rats. At the end of the Rat year.

On the bright side I get to see S'pore again, but being a hermit for one week on the not-so-bright side. Ah well, can't have everything in life.

All Out Gunsblazing

Almost all the fans of gun-related themes out there share the same dream - to one day dual-wield pistols in the most badass fashion, blasting the hell out of everyone and everything.

Blam blam blam blam, finishing off the rounds in your clip, release both the pistol's magazines, rapid reload, blam blam blam blam. Awesome.

Seeking to fulfill my own personal hunger to achieve this, I found my oppurtunity in the least stylish means - in the arcade. That's right, the arcade's lightgun shooter machines. Well of course to achieve my objective, I had to play it alone in the 2 player mode, which also means double the credits for it.

First time I tried it, it was on The House of the Dead 2. I only managed to survive with 2 hands until the first swarm of those monster leeches, and then I died before I could even reach the first boss.



Not awesome.

It isn't as easy as how it looks like. For one I have to coordinate both hands, for another I had to make sure both pistols still have ammunition to fire, and the most painful part was that I have to kill the enemies fast enough before they could kill me, a deadly on-a-spot-reaction challenge to which I sucked at the most. At times I wished I was playing Time Crisis instead because I can take cover in it.

Well, this experience was quite frustrating in a way, so I didn't indulge myself into this dual-wielding experience too much after that. Then the THOTD2 machine in that particular arcade was removed, and the only shooter machine I could do the dual wield on was that outrageous Ninja Assault machine. Still find the idea of Ninjas with pistols hard to swallow.

Ah well. Guess it will be some time after before I get to play dual-wield again.
