Terraria: Day 3

Oh finally, I got myself a bloody house. Man I totally shouldn't have left my town just because the mayor caught me fapping to videos of his daughter's sex video breaking into his cookie jar and then pulling out that star-spitting cannon at me. I could have like fed him more alcohol to calm the situation or something, he reeks of alcohol anyway! But nooo, I ran like the pussy that I am, and here I am, out in this... middle of nowhere. Thank god I met this guy out here wandering about. He says his name is Guide or something, though I like to call him "bro" or "nigger". No offense blackies, just treat it in a bro-ish kind of meaning. Poor fellow, out here with nothing with him (Even I had the wisdom to steal some tools that I might need from Uncle Toby's garage, hurhur).
Pretty daft one too, been 3 days and he's just telling me how to "survive the night" or "attract a nurse" (Mmmm ladies). But for 3 fucking days? Sure is one of those Daft People. We've heard tales about them, people who just ran out to the wilderness and never returned. Some say that is why we have zombies. Every time I ask Guide how did he survive out here while I'm barely making it (I remember my first night, seeing zombies and Demon Eyes chasing me. Thank god I knew how to make torches, and the occasional fallen stars makes me feel a little better...). Guide must be quite the physician though, every time I thought I was about to die, I'd wake up to find myself near him, so I guess that's how he survived for so long. Slightly handy guy I suppose. (-1000000 POINTS FOR NOT CLOSING THE DOOR AFTER HE GOT THE ATTENTION OF 3 ZOMBIES WHILE STARING AT THE STARS LEAVING ME TO DEAL WITH THAT BULLSHIT. Thank god for my fucking wooden sword. Ugh.)

Enough talk, here's my humble abode!



- Day 4

Not really sure the outdoors is safe anymore (Just the other day I walked to the west, the sky got more yellowish, and eventually I reached the edge of the forest and man were things really fucked up. They were all a sickly hue of purple and the air... bleh it smells like shit, to say the least. I was about to draw a picture of the area for future references when out of nowhere some woolly flying creature with two fangs and a single eye started floating its way towards me, gnarling them as if he wanted food. I thought he just some more the more werider denizens until it opened them and actually tried to grab me with it! Man I didn't know I could run so fast yelling OH SHIT all the way.
The beast still had the nerve to call for backup! Screw that, I drew out my fucking wooden sword I showed them a lesson in wood-fu. Hi-ya! Took 1 hour but that showed them.

After which I figured out why the land smells. Even their meat is rotten. Yucks. So not going there till there's a need to. (NOT)

-Day 5

Got bored yesterday night listening to the zombies and Demon Eyes trying to get into my house for the umpteen time and starting digging my way down below my house just for the heck of it. Quite the number of stone minerals down here! I think I might have use for those...

-Day 8

This digging is quite enjoyable! I got quite the cavern already just from following the rock and occasional copper veins and got myself a nice little furnace. Damn that workbench Guide taught me was quite useful! (Though his instructions... stick the wood through that wood? Seriously?) I'm not quite sure what to do with the huge space though. Guide was hopping around all day asking for a tree (Like, aren't they everywhere?!) Eventually I figured out a better option and told him to plant one in our cavern while he tends to it. Seems to work so far, he's got something to occupy his sparse mind while I get to see if trees can grow without sunlight.

The sapling, near that torch in the middle. (Not bad eh? Turns out right below the house was a rather large cave so I didn't need to do much work around here)

We are having some problems though. I have closed off the exits of the cavern to make sure those creatures don't come in but somehow they just wander in when I'm not looking! I'm putting a sign near our "basement' door to warn Guide not to travel there unnecessarily. Beat him with it a few time for good measure.


So far it's still the usual slimes, zombies and Demon Eyes (how da fuck they get in there I don't know), nothing that a good sword and some terrain exploitation can't handle, but I don't think I want to go any deeper until I've patched whatever goddamn entrances they have been using, lest I attract some beasts even worse. I checked out the West and look how THAT turned out.

-Day 10

It's still rather lonely with just me and Guide around the caverns, so I thought I'd visit the great outdoors and check out the East side while the sun is up. Look what I found!

Bunch of sunflowers, how beautiful! I pluck 2 of them for gardening.

And looks like this place is littered with caves, guess I didn't notice this when I was running away from the mayor.

Left a torch there so that someone can see the entrance. Maybe I should put up a warning sign. Oh and another for the forbidden forest!

It was getting dark so I thought I'd hasten home.

With the sunflower I mark this land as Metaping's Territory! Should any other wanderers manage to come from the East side and see a sunflower near a door, chances are you are coming to my place. Do bring some weapons with you please, I could use and extra pair of hands!
I should send this by airmail and try attracting a few helpers. And mayor? I'M NOT DEAD YET HOW YA LIKE THAT HUH

Oh well airmail here we go! *whoosh*
Ahh, nothing like winds that always blow Eastward. Time to... tsk. Hey Guide wanna play poker for the 100th time?

Nothing like sticking "Durian Feast!" on your bag of durian trash then placing it on the bags of (non-durian related) trash.

The strobes of white light are... too harsh a lighting though, ruins the mood a little if you take picture. I miss those old yellowish lights.

2nd day of holidays, time to borrow some books to read! I wonder if we are getting anything for this week's IT Show...

And hopefully 343 Industries does the Halo justice, right now Halo 4 and the Halo: CE Anniversary looks... soso and bordering shit respectively. Wonder what Bungie will announce in the months ahead...

A bored run in Black Ops made me realised that my mouse is spoiled. The right mouse click now has to be hit further back for detection to occur. Strangely enough it seems to only plague my gaming sessions dammit.

1 more reason to come down to the IT Show I suppose.

And Black Ops just doesn't interest me thank god I have no intentions of buying that at all.

Sorry was a little pissed at the mouse so pardon this rant post :/

Sunday 5 June 2011

Monday was a pretty fun trip.

Still feeling tired from Sunday's swimming and the subsequent lack of sleep visiting my godma, I woke up late for school. Family's not really much of a ponner so I just tookthings upon my own hands and took 154 to school.
Missed the first bus though so I got slightly pissed and decided to take a casual walk by the park to the bus stop opposite Lakeside MRT station.
I did reach Ngee Ann, but I just gave an "Oh." and went back to sleep. All the way to Eunos. The bus driver's really kind to activate the bell before we reached the interchange, seeing that I'm the only person left throughout the ride.

By then it was already 12, so I thought I might as well have my lunch, even though I wasn't really hungry. Should have tried the Vegan Burger restaurant across the street but on hindsight... nahhhh.

Checking out the buses at the bus stop in Eunos, I found one that would me to Woodlands, from which I could take another bus home. On the bus, I noticed mascara, of all things! The lady was somewhat pretty, though a little on the plump side. Ah point is I was starting at her mascara more than I stare at her. It's like a layer of black rectangle curving along her upper eyelashes! Quite cool :x

Finally I took 178 from Woodlands back home. I thought I'd stop at the Rail Mall and explore that area but I overslept so too bad.

And that was how I killed time from 9.30am to 3pm


X-Men: First Class was a rather nice reboot of the series on the big screen, surprisingly. Amidst the backdrop of the Cold War, we see how the earliest mutants struggle with their newfound abilities and how The Brotherhood and the X-Men formed. Kudos to anyone who can spot the biology aspects before it got really obvious!
I was pretty sure I spotted the DNA identification markers, the various (RNA?) blocks, of course the DNA itself, cell multiplication, and I think there was Redshift but I'm not sure...
I did thought the part where one of the US Commanders (played by the Devil guy in Reaper) was an allusion to "Sympathy For The Devil"...
Kungfu Panda 2 wasn't that bad a show, still looks to me like a homage comedy of wuxia films with a western artstyle. Not that they have forgotten the East, with everything being based on China, but also with the opening sequence. Shadow puppetry anyone? Just take it light-hearted and not at face value, and the movie isn't that bad as it seems.

Alright time for dinner!
