Owned 3 Times

Posted in Life  by Rey | June 3rd, 2007

Lots of things!

Ok, so where should I begin? Let’s see…

Firstly, I received my pair of Air Jordan XX2 today… gosh, these are really comfortable, I don’t know what technology Jordan told them to implement into the shoe, but it feels damn good… it actually feels like I am stepping on something “soft” lol. The shoes look damn good too, here’s a picture:

Now, let’s move on to anime. I haven’t been posting about it for a while since I stopped watching it altogether… 2 or 3 days ago I asked Amry for some recommendations and he told me to watch Claymore, so I did. Claymore is AWESOME! I went “OMGWTFBBQHOLYSHIT” after the end of first episode. I was supposed to sleep after watching that one episode… but it was so good, that I ended up watching all the 6 episodes I downloaded that day (thus the cause of my Insomnia). The plot itself is kinda hard to explain, so I suggest that you click here to learn more about it. Trust me, it is damn good, you won’t regret watching it. I may even put it above Berserk (which is already damn good for its genre btw). Here’s a picture of the main character (L):

You will be obsessed over both Clare and Teresa if you have reached episode 8 (at least I do lol… they are just too cool!).

As for drama, the only one worth watching now is “Liar Game”. The plot is about this “pure” girl who ended up joining this game called “Liar Game” where people have to cheat each other out of their 100 million yen. This drama is damn good, I can assure you that, so do give it a try. Click here to learn more about Liar Game.

Guess that’s about it for now, can’t post too much since I am loaded with tons of assignments. Ja~

Wooo MAC Skin!

Damn, I must have some serious luck to be able to find a skin as awesome looking as this one!

My Recent O2Jam Experience…

Posted in Games, Life  by Rey | May 22nd, 2007

Remember how kick ass I used to be at this game? Remember how many asses I kicked during my prime era? So yeah… recently Wei Quan (the only guy who has the determination to play this game with me) asked me to play this game with him again, and since I was bored to death, I agreed. The results of the games are pretty clear: I got raped / trashed / owned / dominated / killed. Okay, it may not be that bad since I still won some games… but still, I used to be the one killing him in this game, but not anymore… things changed. :(

My New Samsung E900

Posted in Life  by Rey | May 20th, 2007

Those of you that has me in their MSN list should know that I just purchased this phone recently… The phone is damn SEXY! To begin my boast (wahahaha), here’s an image of it:

samsung-sgh-e900-1.jpg

Trust me, the phone looks much much much much better when you actually see it live. The features offered are inferior compared to my Ericsson k800i… but in look department, this phone totally blew k800i out of the water. I am really damn satisfied with this phone… and since I already have this baby, no one else should get it… including you (yes you!).

Now that I think about it, all of my money is spent on useless stuff like this… other than that, it is mostly leeched off by my sister. ‘Sighz…’

Bah @ Casino

Posted in Life  by Rey | May 18th, 2007

So I lost another 100+ bucks at the Casino yesterday… that counts up to my overall loss of a whopping 700 bucks on casino (400 bucks on Jupiter and 300 on Star City). I got enough of roulette… that shit thing gives everyone the “hope”, but when you start playing it for long and get the fricking gay dealer like I got yesterday (black, red, black, red, black, red… what an arse), that’s the end of you, you will start losing money at a blazing fast speed.

Although I lost a lot, I will still go there again on my free time… I am going to start trying something different… Poker comes into mind this time, I will let you people know how it goes.

Troll, My New Love

Posted in Games  by Rey | May 12th, 2007

Finally, a post related to DotA. Ya know, usually when I play this game… when I own (as in dominate), it is mostly with cheap heroes like Stealth Assassin, Bloodseeker and Bounty Hunter (oh and super cheap ones like Ogre Magi too). Let me break down how I usually own with these heroes.

Stealth Assassin
This is my signature hero. If I use him, it will either be a blowout (like 15-0?) or break even (like 5-5, 7-5?) when I am on my bad days. The pattern of this hero is simple (in my play style at least)… All you need to do is farm farm farm farm (gotta do it in a solo lane, bottom for Sentinel and top for Scourge). Since SA is a invisible hero, some people use this advantage to harass when they hit level 6. I don’t, I use it to farm (so that I will be getting hit less in the process). And once I have the following items:

That is when I start hunting down heroes and start my dominating spree (walk behind a lone hero, smoke and start backstabbing him to death lol). Then after that followed by this:

This is the final core item for SA… with this, you can rack kills easily (the highest I went was 18-0). Of course, there’s a drawback when you’re using SA. If you are laned against a range hero… and the player is a PRO, he will carry a gem and start screwing you over… and when that happens, that’s the end of SA (I actually don’t believe it until I was given a reality check in a game). But still, it is my best hero.

Bloodseeker
Super cheap hero from the beginning (yeah, from the start). He sucks blood, can rupture and runs damn fast when someone’s HP is below half. The pattern is simple… Rupture >> Bloodrage (on himself) and start hitting the ruptured hero. That is 1 kill (simple?). If you have an average micro (last hitting and deny), you should be able to own with this pig look-alike.

Bounty Hunter
Another cheap hero. Runs like madman (that helps) and the pattern of killing is the same too. Wind Walking behind the enemy, and once the enemy is alone, hit him once, cast Track on him and start chasing and hitting him like mad. Once the HP is extremely low, throw the Shuriken aka Toss at him. Another simple to use hero… I got a 10-0 on my first try with him (that is beyond Godlike lol).

Ogre Magi
Lamest hero ever. Farm til you got Aghanim (stunning + fire opponent in the process) and you can start owning. When you see an enemy, just stun and pray (actually, you don’t need to pray since 30% chance is pretty high) for a multicast. If you got a multicast, that’s one kill for ya. Even a 10 year old can dominate with this ugly hero.

Actually, Faceless Void can be considered as cheap as well… but since it is damn weak early game and can be screwed easily, I decided not to list it as “cheap”.

So onto Troll. This hero isn’t cheap. The movement speed is damn slow, the ultimate skill increases the attack speed by 120% and movement speed by 11% (kinda crappy compared to Faceless’ “clock up” and SA’s “Invisibility”) and the starting damage is crap. Oh, and this hero doesn’t have any escape mechanism, so if you’re ganked, that’s the end. But I like this guy, I own most of the time with him and here’s what I do.

Early game, I will go to the mid-lane, and start farming (you need to have an above-average last hitting skill to use this hero since it is items-dependent). Keep on farming til you get this item:

Once you get these, you can start killing heroes but I suggest that you only participate in team battle or gank (don’t try finding heroes by yourself to get kills… it is pointless, you’re not strong enough to kill 2-3 heroes at once). Keep on farming til you get these items:

This is where you shine. If you are level 16 (120% addition attack speed), you should be able to kill a hero with ease (and record time too). Mjollnir gives you 70 damage and a 20% to release 200 damage chain lightning, with a high attack speed (Tread, your own high base agility, 35 agility from Mjollnir and of course, 120 from your rampage), you will be dishing tons of damage every second (base dmg + 70 + 200 again and again… it hurts). Not only that, if you cast Mjollnir to yourself before you entered the battle, enemies will think twice before hitting you since there’s a 20% chance they get an addition 200 damage on hitting you. You should start racking kills in this stage of the game (getting a triple kill is a common thing).

You should be able to get LOTS of money from this stage on, so what do you do? Get more damage items, I usually go by this order:

You won’t be able to get all of them. But getting MKB is good enough… people will run when they see you, enemies will try to gank you, so never ever enter the battlefield first, always be the last to clear up the mess. Don’t try to be a rambo and enters the battle brainlessly, you have to know that the purpose of Troll is to clear up enemy heroes ASAP behind a tanker during a team battle for the push.

Final note: Why do I prefer Troll over SA when SA is so much easier to use? The answer is in consistency. With SA, if your early game is screwed, you’re pretty much screwed. But for Troll, no matter how much you feed early game (I went as low as 0-6 before and ended up with 10-7), as long as you got all the necessary items, you will still be the one laughing at the end since all you need are items + level 3 rampage. That’s about it for my post.


The handsome #3 (behind Omni and Gondar), Troll lol

Pokemon DS

Posted in Games  by Rey | May 7th, 2007

I have been spending quite some time these days playing Pokemon DS and man, it is addicting as hell. :D There are some factors that make this game more attractive compared to the previous games in the series such (taken from kotaku):

  • A 3-D look that makes Pokemon jump off the screen.
  • Worldwide wireless battling and trading using Nintendo(R) Wi-Fi Connection.
  • Voice chat functions that let players talk wirelessly with friends.

Oh, and here is the starter Pokemon that I chose…

poketheman.jpg
Fire Pokemon: The Monkey! (I named him “Nub”)

On the storyline and gameplay, they are the same as all the Pokemon games that we have been playing again and again for years. There is a dude/chick that got his/her starter Pokemon by luck and then set out to be the best trainer ever (along with filling the crappy Pokedex).

Sounds crappy? Nah, the game is actually pretty good… go give it a try. xD

Bored Aussie is still Down… WTF

Posted in Life  by Rey | May 4th, 2007

WTF is wrong with you Bored Aussie… What the hell is with the frickin long downtime? I am sick of waiting OMFG… You ruined my daily routine of playing a few games of Dota at night before I sleep. Damn, I sound like a loser, but who cares? I am really bored right now, as in DAMN BORED! Ask my sister of you don’t believe me… gahhh!

Rey is Bored

Posted in Life  by Rey | May 1st, 2007

I am bored… BoredAussie is down, so I couldn’t play DotA with my friends. Bleh, guess I am going to watch some South Park to kill the time. Oh btw, McD has the shittiest French Fries that a fast food restaurant could offer, it is really shitty (ate it for my dinner).


Looks good? Must be the picture because it tastes like crap
