Back in M'sia. Er... SARS didn't rear its ugly head at the tourney, so it was okay. Quite a number of players still wore face masks tho. I guess you can never be too careful. The hotel room really transformed into a "rumah orang bujang" aka "Bachelor's house" :D

The head Judge was Mark Brown, and it was his birthday that Saturday. Talk about coincidence.

The main event (Grand Prix Singapore) had about 220 players playing. It's a 2 day event and if you get number 1 to 64 you get to continue playing on the second day. [I got number 748] :( Everybody else except for one of the guys in my group (who got number 21; so he played on Sunday) were crashed out as well. Due to the randomness of the cards given, some of the better players ended up with a really bad deck, thus spoiling the chances of getting a top 64 spot.

Day 2 had my friends going for the side event tourney (PTQ Yokohama), with the results being 3 of them reaching the top 8. W00t! I gotta ask them how the end was (I left before they played the quarterfinals).

Also on Sunday was my bro's birthday. Whee~

Beginning next week I shall dive into my childhood fantasy of playing Warhammer 40k. Finally.... after so many years of looking and searching, there's actually a group of about 20 ought people in M'sia playing it. Mecha fans can check out the Tau army :D I'm going for the Necron.

Ugh... my life is being cut short.

Work..... Art...... Console/Video Gaming.... Manga..... Tabletop Miniatures....... CCGs (probably slowing down on this)...... PnP RPGs (list here is long)....... Anime.... Downloads......

Now if I get a girlfriend the cycle's complete to shut me down (not that I don't want one :D)

Oops! That's 23 hours. That's what I get for playing the game for 14 hours straight (with short breaks of course. I need food and the PS2 needs to cooldown:]) Nephilim's VA is rather bad though. The dialogue's disjointed :/ But everybody else range from okay to good. Kosmos VA fits her personality. :)

Anyway.... at work right now. Doing work with a 2 x 19" Black Dell computer. Woohoo!!! I have widescreen baybeh~! Can see two different webpages at the same time! Can work and read stuff also.

Ciaoz~

Xenosaga is what defines Cinematic RPG. OMG! There's more cutscenes than there is to me playing the game. Well not really, but I'm trying to emphasize it here. The whole thing feels like a sci-fi soap opera. In fact it feels like a soap opera version of Star Wars. No... that's not it.... It feels like an anime soap opera version of Star Wars. Yeah.....

Anyway, the background plot is pretty good so far (13 hours into the game; (highlight for spoiler)Kukai Foundation being detained by the Federation)...

Anyway, gotta say that Allen is one mistreated guy. :D
