People who were waiting on frothing rage are going to have to wait a while I am afraid.

Macross II

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 08:52:31 GMT

In reference to my previous post it did not end up failing off massively.

Macross

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:09:55 GMT

Macross is now one of my all-time favourite cartoons.

Meanwhile Macross DYRL is a travesty, and Macross Plus isn't much better. Yet from what I've seen of the similarly-to-Macross decanonised Macross II, it's shaping up to be a decent show. Do the creators have no sense of taste when it comes to their own work or what ._.

Still over half of II to go though so it could fail off massively later on I suppose.

I'm somewhat apprehensive about how I'm going to feel about 7 when I get up to it now... 7 being the first one I had any contact with at (in SRW D) and essentially what got me vaguely interested in the series in the first place, but Macross itself is completely unlike what I understand Macross 7 to be like... Worrying.

...the BOFH guy made The Register take BOFH off the RSS? WHY?

How the heck am I supposed to be expected to remember to check them if I don't have the program doing it for me.

So I haven't posted here in like 4 months. I still have nothing interesting to say.

Highly dissapointed at the lack of new FE10 knowledge deriving from Nintendo World.

What annoys me

People who try to cut out the final comma in a list, the one before the 'and'. As if the and does double duty as a list seperator and a final list item marker.

Do they ever consider a list like
Bacon and eggs and ham and pineapple
?

How does anyone know where the list is seperated? Of course it's reasonably obvious that it has to be the middle and, because having two ands in a row is normally bad grammar in a list, but the person who wrote it might HAVE bad grammar and actually mean Bacon, Eggs, and Ham, and Pineapple.

But most of all, commas are supposed to mark where you pause when you speak, and you DO pause before the and marking the final item in a list (unless you're a madman, because if you don't it sounds like it's a conjuction and instead of a list finaliser and).

On a completely unrelated note, why don't United Statespeople spell Country as Contry. It has the same ou sound as Colour, after all, unlike County. ~~For all that they should both probably be spelled Kuhluh and Kuhntree or such.~~

Grr.

They take Family Guy and American Dad off two weeks ago so they can show the final of the Amazing Race. But that's okay because they had double of it last week.

They take Penn & Teller off this week for the final of Survivor. Do we get more of it next week?
No! We get it taken off AGAIN for the damned TENNIS.

And now I find out that Family Guy has been shoved to 11:15, and American Dad taken off... for fscking 24.

/me burns the TV stations

OH MY GOD I HAVEN'T UPDATED IN OVER A MONTH

So, recently I've been translating Berwick Saga's skills out of the book for the FEWiki. Speaking of the FEWiki it's getting close to 200 articles! Hooray.

Played through Maru's Mission again, which makes that like the fourth time in a fortnight. Helps that it's the easiest and shortest platform game of all time.

FE4 momentum has fallen through the floor, like we all didn't see that coming a mile away anyway.

...I know why I never post anything here ._. I never have anything interesting to say. Whatever.

Oho, I could always complain about them taking Penn & Teller off tonight so they could show the final of Survivor. God damn TOOLS.

How many suitcases do you own?
Zero.

Do you wear flip-flops even when it’s cold outside?
Assuming you mean thongs... my thongs are broken at the moment so I use them as little as possible. In general if I'm going to be pottering around outside and it's not muddy I won't wear anything on my feet.

Where do you buy your groceries from?
Buying groceries is not currently my concern. I'd probably have to say the local IGA.

What was the last movie you watched?
Scary Movie 3, I think.

Do any of your friends have children?
An ex-friend does. Can't say any of my current friends do. For all that that amounts to like 4 people.

If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you buy?
I have no idea. I would probably put money towards paying off some of my immediate family's debts before buying anything.

Has anyone ever called you lazy?
I CALL MYSELF LAZY. It's less worth asking that and more worth asking 'Has anyone ever NOT called you lazy?'.

Don't think so.

When was your last plane ride?
The same as most of the population of the world: never.

Do you read for fun?
I used to. Not so much nowadays, but still occasionally.

Can you speak any languages other than English?
Did French throughout High School... was never any good at the speaking part as it was, and I'd assume most of what I could do has atrophied severely by now.

Do you do your own dishes?
I used to do everyone's dishes. Now we have a dishwasher. I don't trust it.

What color is your bedroom painted?
Paint. PAINT. My bedroom has faux-wooden sheet wall things. No paint is involved.

Have you ever cried in public?
Can't remember.

Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?

Not something I've ever really considered.

When was the last time you slept on the floor?
I have no idea.

What is your favorite alcoholic drink?
If I had ever HAD an alcoholic drink, it might be possible to answer this question.

Does your closest Starbucks have a drive-thru?
Eh. Think the closest is in the Mall, so no. Coffee is crap anyway.

Do you like your living arrangement?
I don't mind it.

What is your mother’s hometown?
Isn't this one of those questions they normally use as security for internet banking and such?

How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I don't need a lot of sleep, but I have a tendency to not wake up so I tend to get more than the lowest I can run on. Couldn't really say the amount of hours.

Do you eat breakfast daily?
I used to. I stopped because I kept getting up late and it was time that could easily be freed up.

The opposite.

Thu, 06 Apr 2006 06:37:10 GMT

So I ran Ad-Aware just before after 250 days of using IE without running it. And it turned up all of tracking cookies and nothing else.

What is going on here >:O Where is all the spyware that IE automatically downloads and installs for you and so on >:OOOOO

It's been more than a month since I wrote anything here, huzzah!

So we went into Highpoint Shopping Centre in Melbourne today. I didn't really plan on buying anything because there wasn't really anything I wanted at the current time, but I wouldn't have minded getting a book in the New Jedi Order series, having received several audiobooks of it for christmas and having a gap between two of them. So we went to Dymock's and Angus & Robertson, but neither of them had it, which was somewhat surprising... the choice in the two stores really wasn't much better than the choice at the stores in Ballarat. So we went off to look at the game stores, and completely as expected there were no games out that I was willing to spend money on. Closest to that would be Geist, Pokémon XD, or Mario & Luigi DS but none of them I care enough about at the current time, so we didn't worry too much about them. Then my brother wanted us to see if anywhere had any DnD sourcebooks.

The only place in Highpoint that matches that sort of description is Games Workshop. But completely as expected they only had Warhammer stuff, what with being the company that makes it and all ._. Picked up a magazine, and they told us to try Borders, which was another book store we hadn't gone to before, due to having never heard of the place and it being right down the end of the centre.

Bad reasoning.

THE PLACE WAS HUGE. IT HAD TWO FLOORS, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD.

They even had
a whole row
of actual manga-style books
not those crappy thin comic-shaped children's books that pretend to be manga
the short thick stuff like Battle Royale and so forth
you barely get any of the comic-ones in Ballarat, let alone any of that type
not that I wanted any anyway, just registering my surprise at it

I got
the Star Wars book I wanted
Belgarath the Sorceror
Polgara the Sorceress
The Redemption of Althalus
and a Tom Holt book
for a bit under $100
unfortunately they were not hard-cover ones ._. oh well

And then my brother completely eclipsed my costs with only two DnD books and a Discworld artbook >_> crazy expensive DnD books.

Sun, 05 Feb 2006 00:50:21 GMT

So TRS2 finally finishes downloading.

And I find that everything's not all nicely split up like I've come to expect from most filesystem'd games. No, everything's in a couple huge archives. Bah.

But I shall perservereeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Sat, 21 Jan 2006 14:45:28 GMT

It seems that it's been awhile since I posted anything here ._.

I have nothing interesting to say anyways ._.

Hum de dum ._.

Started playing Legend for the god knows how many times time today. I wonder if I'll finish it this time >:O

Eaichu, you keep dying >:O Stop it >:O

Sun, 01 Jan 2006 05:39:21 GMT

I'm back. Huzzah.

My head is still unsteady from the ferry trip. It's annoying. Oh wells.

Guess I better look at that stuff Leafy wants me to look at.

Going on holiday in ~2 hours.

Back when I am.

Hmhmhm

Wed, 21 Dec 2005 14:12:48 GMT

I checked my email yesterday afternoon to find that I'd finally gotten a reply from the lecturer the afternoon the day before, saying the supp was going to be held yesterday at around 1. That was great, having less than a day of warning and missing it anyway. She said that in the email that they might be holding another supp later in the week as well.

But after talking to her today it turns out that she has remarked my exam and I fell over the pass limit this time anyway, so it doesn't matter that I didn't have the chance to take the supp (or would likely have been able to make it to the second one, considering I'm not going to be around from Friday). Lady Luck holds out once again.

...that's everything, then (Professional Practice doesn't count). Have to buy/hire some robes and a stupid hat sometime, then.

Sat, 17 Dec 2005 14:01:30 GMT

I actually did some 'useful' stuff today. Amazing.

Added options to the parser so we can change the text in FE6's opening movie without having it break, now. But we need a font. And it's fixed-width ;_; about 13 characters per line. Oh joy oh joy. Can't really add more lines because the screen fades out after a set time. fdkf;jdaskfas;lfdasf Fortunately the whole line fades in at once, so it doesn't matter how long each line is.

Found the names lists in TRS. They were in the executable instead of one of the message files -_- It seems that it follows FE4/5's method of having seperate font lists and swapping between them with font codes (in addition to the fonts each message file carries around with it). Started to make a list of each font, but I remembered how worthless that was in FE6, so I stopped.
AND EVERYTHING IS FIXED WIDTH. GARDFSKFJDLKRJLKRFDSFD.

Hm.
My luck may manage to hold out after all... perhaps.
