A big chunk of text?

Summarising is a just light touch. So I be trying to make it as painless for me since I believe no one will read it from start to end.

CNY Eve is all about doing things last minute. Last minute shopping(for shoes), cleaning and dumping until 6pm where we had steamboat (usual but I don't see a need to change). Then watching television before playing PS2. Can't be bothered with the Mediacorp Countdown programme. Usual boring stuff with even more boring stuff this year. I wonder why.

CNY Day 1 is a usual affair. Visiting relative(s) at a gathering at (deceased) Da Gu's flat. They can be boring depending on how you see it and sometimes you wish you want to open your mouth but then again you are born with a pair of ears and a mouth. Certainly you wouldn't like people to ask you things you wouldn't like to answer. So the best is to settle on a chair and stuff yourself silly to refrain giving/receiving interviews. Do not speak lest you are spoken to. With everyone doing so much better, I should not ruin their day by saying how my life wasn't as merry go round as they are.

The other difference this year, is that mum and I went to pray instead of going to the Singles Home (3 single aunts and uncle). Deep Fried Prawn is something you can eat elsewhere. LOL.

CNY Day 2 is like more like open house for people to come. Basically bumming around arranging my manga while helping mum with the odd and end of waiting on guests. I don't have to serve my bro's mahjong kakis. I bet they know which fridge to open for drinks (we got 2 fridges in the kitchen). The murtabak Darius bought for me for supper isn't what I expected. It should be the worst I ever ate. I think I need to confirm with him what stall it is.

CNY Day 3 is with sit around net friends. I almost forgot Aoi but the worst is forgetting about Hajime and Shuuichi althought hmmm....I thought Hajime is in M'sia while Shuuichi....hmmm...haha..gomen.

Starts the day early with buying tickets. As usual, Yuki is the Ticket IC, paying for the tixs while I am the token leader of miscommunications (lol). Retsu didn't know where is The Cathay!!??? I also realised I really need to repair my VS2 (can only listen and communicate via Speaker Mode or Hands Free). Watched The Ghost Rider (review much later) with 6 other people (Inova, Yuki, Tsukikage, AHbehh, Charsaur and Retsu) in the noon.

Intermission is at THAT KOPI-THIAM NEXT TO SMU (hell I don't know the building name...but read the appendix). Meet up with Sagara there with accompanying her are: Sayuki hime (who recognised me), Elrond (I recognise him. I don't think he knows who the hell I am) and Elrond's GF (who I dunno her name but spotted him kissing some 2 years back) and 2 others. Likely the group Sagara addressed as the ORGY 13. Sagara wants to play kick-boxing outside while I wait for the traffic lights. So the others had a field day watching me bully her. LOL.

Proceed with the 2nd part of the Double Bill. Still 7 tickets after Charsaur left for home as Aoi joins in. We watch Epic Movie (review... maybe never). Dinner at Plaza Singapura with Violet joining in (LoL. Call it shift duty???) for Kana Suan duty. Everyone had a good moment suaning her. LoL.

CNY Day 4 is my birthday. I woke up late like 1pm likely attribute to late night Fighting Game session. Inova and Yuki recall some of the Sit Arounders (Retsu, Violet and AhBehh) for a small celebration at Pepper Lunch. Great Cake. It's very expensive stuff. Give me a $8 cake I be contended already. They settle the bill for Pepper Lunch. Oh geez. So kind of them to treat the kiddos (and me of course).

Thanks for the cake, the dinner and the well wishes!!!!
Thanks to Miss See for turning up to grace "Our waiting for Inova" session.

For more information on the cake....go to the blog that is listed under Tarap.
She paid for an exclusive coverage and therefore she deserved to get that exclusiveness.

QCF + P!!!

Anyone who understand QCF + P???
 
It's a quarter circle motion of a joystick from down to front.

P denotes the Punch Command Button. It's a MUST KNOW motion for Fighting Games since Street Fighter II (SF is painful to play unlike SF II).
Here's a short game review on the last 3 Fighting Titles I played since Dec '06.  

K.O.F 2006 (A.k.A KOF: Maximum Impact 2)

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Basically a repackage attempted to break into the Next Generation of Fighters, K.O.F:MI fails to be anything but an Impact on the American/Europe market. Perhaps as a business direction to confused the layman, Maximum Impact 2 was given a simple title....simply K.O.F 2006.

Fans of the franchise already knew that the Arcade game is no longer ordered as in Years but rather by numbering (starting from XI after 2003). Nevertheless, the latest console incarnation picks up from where the Garou Densetsu (Fatal Fury) spinoff left it, is awkwardly fun for it's button mashing easiness and of course brightly designed characters that is good enough for any Costume event (I will try to refrain using the word Cosplay since Cosplaying involves in mimicking the character you costumed. Hmmm. How to QCF + P???)

Storymode (I am a 1p mode player) is pretty good considering pre-fight quotes changes depending on the in-game relations so it does motivates the player to slightly attempt to got through the whole roster. It's set in the "FUTURE" KOF/Garou:MOTW setting where you get a Rock Howard (son of the Geese). Rock however is not the main protagonist. Alba, the new boss of South Town took centre stage. The usual Baddie Sponsor the KOF continues, revealing a new kind of direction.

Garou Densetsu is a simple plotline of Kung Fu & Revenge (Geese killed Terry and Andy's foster father.) while KOF is about the world being threatened by ancient evil presence follow by ancient megolomania, Alba's story eventually will GO TO SPACE AND BEYOND.

Yes.

Rather tackling mythology up front, this storyline will warp us to space and reincarnation of aliens.

Far-fetch?

Yes but seeing what kind of storyline Tekken is giving us, this is still pretty ok considering we aren't going to see a live action version of it.

Other game modes includes a Bonus Stage mode consist of 3 different skill testing mini-games (similar to what we got from SF II and World Heroes.....not A.O.F) and Mission Mode where a new player like me is given a chance to train for a better fighting personality other than spamming the same moves all over.
Character wardrobe is BIG with each character having 2 basic look models (Orignal, Alternate) and 8 variation per model (require unlocking for the last 4 variation).

You also know where the design of the game is going, judging the spilling cleavages especially from Lien, the new fatale femme of this game. Her presence is probably a need by SNK to retire tired Famous poster girl, Mai Shiranui who incidentally might be the most identified character from the KOF/Garou Densetsu.


Anyway after unlocking and completing the whole Storymode and half way through the Costumes, it's best to play something that's more into my liking....2D Arcade Fighting.........

Neo Geo Battle Coliseum

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Probably a better answer of Capcom's Fighting Jam (Evolution), this In-Company Big Basher consists of characters of Neo Geo's famous characters from various titles.

Fighting system is simpler tag alikened to X-men vs Street Fighter with the tagged out player regaining health. The uniqueness of the game lies with the arcade mode whereby player is given 300 seconds of game play which after follows by a boss fight (whereby proven unpopular on the arcade level, I guess, judging the non-existence of the machines). Performance determines the boss you be fighting.

There's not much of a storyline more of a reference to one of the reasons for the decline of Neo Geo. Original characters are Yuki and Ai whose moves are company product inspired are to defend the Neo Geo World from Goodman the sponsor of the tournament and owner of the WAREZ (got it?).

Boss Fight is considered perverted by SNK standards since NOT ONLY you got penalised by how the power gauge charges and the choices of evasive moves , AT THE SAME TIME avoiding awful spams of damaging moves by the boss WHO is given priviledges of REGAINING HEALTH (base health not included) which makes most of the number combo useless because by the time you finish with the last blow, he is regained most of what you took.

Solution? Simple. Hit and take out the base health (red ) with a Team Up special. Provided you get close enough, That is. Other modes are standard fare however.

The Real Last Boss Goodman....oddly resembles Unknown from Tekken Tag with a Beast on set aflames as a "companion".
 
Capcom vs. SNK 2

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

 
One of the last few great titles before Capcom put a lid on new games from their SF heritage and the last crossover offered by Capcom.
This outing includes a wider range of fighters with Capcom diving it deep into their titles and fetched New Fighters:

- Eagle from the Original Street Fighter

- Maki Genryusai from Final Fight 2

- Kyosuke Kagami from Rival Schools


SNK roster includes Last Blade's Hibiki and Samurai Shodown's Haohmaru (Nakoruru appeared in the 1st game). Strangely we got a pair of Choi and Choy rather than a single entry for each individual character.


For arcade mode, Capcom did away the previous Point Ratio Assignment to Fighters and introduced a free selection of characters first before you set ratio points to them.
If you select 1 fighter, all 4 points goes to him/her.
If 2 fighters, split 2:2 or 3:1.
If 3 fighters, 2:1:1 .

Obviously this game is meant to be for competitive play given the amount of pre-game set up option available, making it almost no 2 players can play almost the same game.

Other than character selection, ratio assignment, the first option is Groove Selection. Unlike what's on the first Capcom Vs SNK, which you are given only 2 option, you got 6 options now, each with a distinct advantage. Skill level is strongly tested as different groove can greatly influence the game plan. The controls are however still had a distinct Capcom to it hence players very familiar to the SNK controls might be punished to relearn in order to play their SNK characters. This game requires some patience in order to play hence I admit the number of machines in the arcade is dwindling and rare.

Bosses fight are pretty the table turned for the Capcom fans.
Most of the time, Capcom bosses are quite within the line with the only exception of the Shin Gouki(Akuma).
SNK bosses are usually broken and crazy spammers of fire balls and anti-air and reversal.

Hencefore it's easier to have M.Bision as a sub-boss than Geese Howard.

Regular End of Game boss are Akuma and Rugal.

Getting good scores will enable you to fight True Bosses, Shin Akuma (double Air Fire Ball Bastard) and Ultimate Rugal (Bastard. Nuff say).

Ultimate Rugal is ridiculously the harder boss to fight. Beating both S.Akuma and U.Rugal gives you access to them and a Boss Mode in the Arcade Mode.

However unlocking the True Bosses does nothing to aid the game since they balanced out the health for that extra broken boost. Trying spam double aerial and you can see the difference on the punishment dished out by your opponent.







With these 3 games out of the way for the moment, I will be resuming with Raido's adventure in the Capital in Atlus's Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raido vs The Soulless Army.

Post No. 239

Well normally I don't pay attention to labelling but due to some petty reasons, I am forced to embark on a task to forcefully label everything as close to the topic possible. There's 3 main genre themes (current standing before this post is 238 entries):

-Daily Slices (of life) which stands at 38%
-Watched (any form of media. Be it Movie,Drama, Tokusetsu or Anime.) 22%
-Quiz 9%

Out of 238 entries only 13 entries are about sgcafe. That's like 5%.
If 5% of the actual amount is all I ever posted,


wow. It really says about those people. Donkeys and Asses. Pussies that didn't got stroked.

Sgcafe is all I blogs about!!!!

Yesterday someone pasted my face all over some active threads in the forum.

I laughed.
Because it was an old photo of mine that's all over the forum for a long time. Anyone who wish to play around can get it from the forum rather than friendsters.

I did the necessary. PM kenshin to report mischief. He cannot do much for me but a list of suspects is useful. (Anyway I knew who it is by the next 10 mins).


Then comes the dedicated thread. Sugoi. I haven't been so involved in wanting to play a game since Last Thursday (you wouldn't want to know).

You see the fact that it is fun because you know who it was from the start. Getting to make them admit is even more fun.

Unfortunately the Metrosexual Guy really took offends on what I blogged. I know I know. I should be sensitive to the M guys because they can be really sensitive. Then again, I saw how he reacted to me and get petty. Natural response from his type.

Here's a sample on what he typed about me

#1 tusuki-chan
I want to play a game.

All along this person, d4 has scampered around the sgcafe threads, correcting people, boosting his own ego, infusing information that most of the time only he believes it to be true.

He types words that hurt people. Like a spear peforating their hearts.

And when he gets hurt, he blogs about it, just to make himself feel a wee bit better.

He seems to be apathetic, mostly just pathetic.

Have fun d4.


Huh????Like how???It's false claim. There's a lot of posting with Mockery. Never with a purpose to "hurt people. Like a spear peforating their hearts". I am also honest with my views. I wouldn't flip and flop it around, gladly taking in pointers in "Passionate" discussions. Somehow, some wretch can't tell what is what. I don't blame her. I blame her parents for not being good role models. No? I shouldn't blame that?But that's what written on her blog. Huh? She got a hard life? Go easy on her?
ok.

The whole purpose of this nonsense is because I reject her offer to add her on MSN.
I don't see the point, I don't see the need. Plus my MSN is really full.

(Remember people. Your login and password is for yourself)
No matter how much IQ you had. A bad liar is a bad liar. Playing between accounts that doesn't belong to you is easy. Disguise however is some work. IQ but lack of tech knowledge is not going to help.
(Remember people. Your login and password is for yourself)

Ok. Back to the SMARTASS.
Maybe the other two starts to know and gloat over it.
They think playing face with a heel's heart and playing "I KNOW" and you are a fool was easy but they forgot that whatever they type can go back to them. In fact quite a few members spotted and then laughed over MSN how silly they look.

I got myself some time to think about it while playing Demon Summoner before turning in early so I can wake up early for jogging.

At the same time, someone whose head too big for his hat (swelling over VICTORY?Nah. It was an empty one.) I guess when I went back.
He was a big mouth so I should ought to credit him. Dropping hints is just cheesy. I got no time for scooby-doo.

I believe in Karma. Some bad karma are meant to be resolved.
After Kenshin gives me what I need to "Baselessly slander" them.
Putting on a signature that makes no sense to people who don't know.
Then I go over the thread most popular with them. And let it start.

I also started a thread to vote if I should go.
She's right. The decision is mine but I want her and her peanut boyfriend to know one thing. Playing sneaky doesn't pays. Just because you cannot control your friends doesn't mean you had to take the fall for them.

DO YOU THINK IT'S WORTH IT?

For a person like me. For a person like him. I read how the way he types about me IRL based on just the thing on the sidebar. The thing on the sidebar was there since June '05. The only changes I ever made was the age which I tinker so I don't need to update for a long time.

It takes a whole lot more than personal attacks to make me fire up IRL. You love games in the open? Bring it on. I got the whole Thursday to play slow. If the forum is all you had, you shouldn't impose that ruling on me because I got

- Family
- Friends
- Workmates
- Pretty XMM
- A not so pretty GF
- Self-Esteem
- Honesty to accept Responsibility for one's action
- Guts (which they lacked) and courage

I can give up posting in sgcafe even but I wouldn't go without a drama and getting the culprit to admit. I am sick and tired of the hypocrite who goes around pretending nice when he is just a dog. I don't even know why the IDIOTS let him hang around. He was hoping for a threesome?
Come on IDIOTS. Can't you see he is just bored and stirring things in the name of JUSTICE?
A person who did it before knows the feeling of it. I am no Saint but I know what I am. However for a DOG who kept barking how he "cares" for his friend yet remain "neutral" is a PUSSY FREAK. I don't even know what a PUSSY FREAK can do.

Was that Elvish for Pussy?So how do you spell PUSSY in Elvish?

oh oh. I answer to Tusuki-chan enquiry too.

And when he gets hurt, he blogs about it, just to make himself feel a wee bit better.

Tusuki-chan. I suspect your Yamato Warship Sized Penis blocked your PC monitor. How can you hurt me via ONLINE? There's nothing on HURT typed on my blog.There's just issues I need to type so as answer to friends who asked.

Friends who are really concern about both the person onscreen and offscreen.



About the EGO BOOSTING. Yes. Thank You. You reminded me that I ought to do.
How many people are telling me I shouldn't go???
OH?

Now that's Attention Whoring and Ego Boosting. It's disgusting and wrong but why did it feel so GOOOOOOOOOOD????????

Can you be gay and metrosexual?

Metrosexuality is NOT a Sexual Deviant.
Althought you can be gay if you are a metrosexual.
However, being GAY isn't really means you are a Metrosexual.
Don't get it wrong kids.

What's a good Metrosexual Guy that is Straight (Hetero Metrosexual)?

- David Beckham (Sports Celebrity. Soccer Player)
- Brad Pitt (Hollywood Celebrity. Actor)

http://dir.salon.com/story/ent/feature/2002/07/22/metrosexual/index.html
An article by David Simpson the original writer who coined the term.
Google on to read more of David Simpson.

So is there an example of the Gay Metrosexual Guy?Yes there are but far and few that I myself will consider them as Metrosexual since they look too LOUD to be Metrosexual.

Look around however, you will realised that there are actually Real Life Metrosexuals that are GAY.

Tasteful dressing? Check.
Masculine built? Check.
Smooth Talking? Check.
Get Along with Everyone? Check
He kissed a 'loud' man in D&D? .....check
Is he Gay?.....unfortunately YES. He came out of the closet a few months back.

Still he is an example for us guys because he was a good example and good friend. Althought we cannot tell jokes about gays anymore.

Observation at specified (mis)definition and Getting Along?

Some people asked me:

Did you have a problem with us clubs???


Here's the deal.
I got absolutely nothing against people banding up and doing things together.

At first it's purely vk band fans. They are really organised and make banners to identify each other. I think they are good people.
Except 1 or 2 who I really try to avoid altogether. Since fans are passionate to protect their idols and somehow PASSION is something that's double-edged.
Yes. No one is perfect but we don't have to be a shithead to each other. So we tend to NOT try each other. Life is perfectly fine with us since so long we don't cross each other we be happy with our own ways. The place is big enough for everyone.

Then the anime fans. Bleach and Ouran High. Same situation. Everything is roughly going around fine. Discussion of their Passion and some daily slice of their own life.

Then the Singles. Originally inspired by an idea to get bored people into the sun.
(Look under events)
Must be the name. Some people thinks it's funny to 'joke' about the Singles as desperate people. I don't agree with such behaviour but somehow I got backlash. I don't even know why yet. Could it be because of known association with the trouble makers? Oh well. You can't love everyone and neither can you make everyone loves you.

You know Children. Name calling is the basic starter deck to "Clan Wars". Well it's their FORUM. They own it anyway now.

Then came the sexual deviants.
I respect sexual deviants.
(I need to repeat. I respect Anything out of Sexual Norm. Acceptance and Tolerance is 2 difference matter)

I detest wannabes however. Wannabes are people who think they know it very well and proceed to warp the conception to match their purpose. Like how jihadist warped the Peace Loving concept of Islam.

Does anyone understand what it is by the word Bisexual?
Here's a great sample likely provided by a someone who probably understand only the word SEX only because it's a subject you be tested on in school. Schools hardly will try to teach the sexual deviant terms simply because it's a complex situation that only the society can teach.



This idea is from Akiha.
Supported by Kina.
8DDD

It's a club for both genders who loves both females and males.
Confusing? Yes.
I didn't get it at first.

Meaning,
A female who joins this club can love both a female and a male.
A male who joins this club can love both a female and male.

Something like Yaoi and Yuri club with a twist.



Bisexual.
Children ,you obviously are confused. The Yaoi/Yuri club are just people who are into Animated Sexual Deviation.
Bisexual means having a romantic/sexual relationship with both partners of gender yet keeping your sexual identity/role at the same time.
Is the content going in the thread about Bisexuality at all?
NOT AT ALL. Except some weird sexual confession. Ah kids. They mistook the convenience of having a good relationship with a same gender friend for HOMO.

There nothing wrong with getting it wrong but I don't want to get into their face and tell them. Still some people say I INSULTED them. Either children got too soft belly or they are plain CRYING WOLF.

Then Metrosexual. (Metrosexual is NOT a SEXUAL DEVIANT.)
Here's a list. Check it twice. You still get in whether you are girl or boy.
A good headline but nothing to it. Same old wasted scenario. With other clubs.


I bow to Lady Zermine. Obviously he did his research. I got nothing to say.

His motive is noble and clear. If people need to tackle a difficult topic, they ought to follow Zermine's attitude. Some people might have problem with him because of his rather unusual hobby but he is a good person. You just need to stop judging him because of the LADY ZERMINE persona.

But seeing all those same people in that thread. The Androgyne Club might be moving the same old direction. Nowhere.


I remember a word. It's used to describe how the title of an email doesn't matches the content inside. Normally it's unwanted also.
