I Herd U Liek Lilies - 11/2/09

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:51:13 GMT

Oh what's this?

(Yup, one small thing after another. I've decided to draw my own enemies for my RPG, since I won't really get any variety in the end.)

Feelin' Neutral - 9/29/09

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 20:15:43 GMT

Nothing really going on right now. I'm slowly losing weight, which is always good. I've decided to look at playlist and update it for once. Here's the updated playlist:

Old: 22,831 songs
New: 24,685 songs

I have a lot of space on my primary HDD (Around 30 GB from 100 GB, which is my limit for the primary incase something happens.), so I will be adding more music eventually.

Once Every Full Moon.. 9/4/09

Sat, 05 Sep 2009 01:21:27 GMT

So apparently, my mother wanted me to bring some clothes to the basement to be washed. Unknowingly to her, I was doing something. I was in a bit of a rush and went down the stairs quickly and missed a few steps. I fell of course, now I have a long bruise on my arm and a bad sprain to my left ankle. What else is new?

Raged Up a Storm - 8/27/09

Fri, 28 Aug 2009 02:36:47 GMT

Well my little stream network on Livestream that I've been doing has been totally wrecked by this new little rule Livestream has set up. Yep. I'm pretty pissed. What's next? I wonder..

Oh God Why - 8/11/09

Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:55:03 GMT

I'm never making a town with tiles ever again. (Unless it's a world map.)

Way way old version:

Previous version:
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/173/synine2.jpg

Current version:

Now that's over with, I can do stuff other than refining this stupid town.

Before and After - 8/9/09

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:35:41 GMT

Before:
http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/579/synine.jpg

After:
http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/173/synine2.jpg

I'd say this is an improvement.

Color or Colour? - 8/4/09

Tue, 04 Aug 2009 08:04:34 GMT

Changed the colors a little, so it's a little easier on the eyes. :3

Yeah.

Months Into Construction - 7/26/09

Sun, 26 Jul 2009 23:30:46 GMT

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/579/synine.jpg
(Scaled from 1:8)

This is Synine, the port town of the Main Continent and the first town you'll be involved in. Though this may not look impressive, believe it or not, this took me many months to make. I'm not even fully done with it.
You have no idea how painful it is to make a town made of tiles in RPG Maker VX, which is why I'm sticking with backgrounds instead of tiles. (It's much easier and the possibilities are ENDLESS.)

It took me forever to make because I had next to NO ideas. So I added details overtime and then I come to today, where I just want to finish the damn thing, but here's the list of things I have to do before continuing on:

- ALL the eastern buildings you see.
- The huge mansion at the top right. (It's a dungeon, basically.)
- The fucking CASTLE, which will be a challenge upon itself. This will be the first castle with floors. Sheesh.

Yep. This might take another five months.

---
And just for the hell of it, here's the biggest/2nd biggest town that's on the moon shaped island: Lunar Valleyside.

http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5577/lunarvalleyside.jpg

I hated making this one too, but both port towns are pretty deep in content.

--

You know what sucks? These aren't the biggest towns that I have planned, but the biggest one is going to be fully background with no stupid tiles. ARGH.

Return to the Abyss - 7/24/09

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 00:13:56 GMT

Oh man, going back to my neverending quest to completing my RPG. I might be able to make a demo of the game soon, but there's so many changes that I have to do first.

What will be in the demo will be before you embark the Main Continent. Yeah. I did a small speedrun and I got one hour of exploring everything. That, by itself, is like 2 to 3 hours.. Maybe.

Few Hours Later.. - 7/20/09

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 15:51:05 GMT

My knees hurt.

I did the math and I found out that I still have nine hours free. Plus, the fatigue from exercising for 20 minutes really takes its toll. At least it was twenty minutes. So I decided to do 20 mins of exercising two or three times a day. Once I get more stamina, I'll be raising the bar a little and maybe increase how much time I exercise.

It's funny, really. I was gonna dedicate the whole summer to this and I was crippled the first time.
--
By the way, the whole no-computer thing is stupid. Why? Just because. Also, I have nine hours to do whatever I want.

Here's the daily schedule for meh:

1 - 2 hours of exercise
30 mins to an hour of usual stuff (showering, brushing teeth, etc. This kinda varies.)
Everything else takes up the rest of the day.

And some chores are there somewhere, so it's 2 - 3 hours. Yikes. Not really as planned.
-
So in conclusion:

This whole idea collapsed, but I'm still doing it. It's not like I do anything every day. I'm going for it.

And So It Begins - 7/20/09

Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:49:47 GMT

Oh joy. Time to start my painful exercises. I'll be spending the rest of the summer doing stuff totally different and not having the internet take up most of my time.

Here's the plan from now until August 24th:
- Exercise every day. This is probably going to be a constant thing that'll last three to five hours each day. (Maybe more.. Who knows.)
- Strict diet. Mostly water and most veggie goodness. No fatty foods, pretty much.
- No using the main computer. This is because the temperature jumps ten degrees and I'm afraid every time I use it. So I'll be using my craptop for night sessions.
- A lot of stuff that I usually FORGET to do daily. This is what I'm gonna try improving, since I always forget to do one thing or two.
- And some minor stuff.

Now what I want to happen in the outcome is to incorporate these things as a daily thing. So I'll still be around, just not doing stuff I normally do.

Muscles are in for a hurting.

Hot Stuff - 7/18/09

Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:40:08 GMT

I seriously hate this heat, since it made me almost pass out twice. In fact, it was so serious that it fixed my sleeping schedule. Curse summer. Bring me winter already. I'd feel a lot better.

This is why I'm taking a vacation, 90 degrees in a medium sized room.. Argh.

--
And just for the hell of it, here's my current voice. Questioning how a babby is formed:

Raincheck'd - 7/15/09

Wed, 15 Jul 2009 10:45:44 GMT

Delayed it to 20th. Mainly because I want to tie up some loose ends before the inevitable. So yeah. I won't be totally gone, I'll still be online from time to time, but still. I have to do it sometime.

(By the way, this was originally supposed to happen somewhere in June. Look how well that turned out.)

Summer Heat - 7/12/09

Mon, 13 Jul 2009 02:42:49 GMT

On July 15th, I will be taking a temporal vacation from the internet, so I can straighten some stuff out. I also want to calm things down since there's a lot going through my mind at the moment and I want to relieve my mind and just relax from such things.

I'll be returning on August 24th and then I'll catch up on things. If you want to know why I'm doing this, it's because I need to lose some weight and stuff. I also hate summer heat. So yeah.

Just saying this ahead of time. So yeah.

Shattered Like a Mirror - 7/8/09

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:29:52 GMT

I forgot that I sucked at fighting games.

Blazblue, you hurt me dearly.

Half Full - 7/7/09

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 17:43:47 GMT

Well I got my arcade stick that I'll be using for 2d fighters. Now to wait for Blazblue. :\

In Other News.. - 7/5/09

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 19:12:26 GMT

I've been playing a HELL of a lot of game boy games lately. Probably because I didn't have internet at the time, so I decided to dedicate myself to a few games like Kirby Star Stacker (I've spent hundreds of hours on this game. Seriously. If there's one game I've truly mastered, it'd be this.) and Zelda: Oracle of Ages (One of my absolute favorite Zelda games.)

This kinda made me realize I'm more of a portable gamer than a console gamer. Probably because I've clocked a lot more hours into my Game Boy than everything else. :p I think this is also why I prefer single player games than multiplayer. Oh well.

Thunderstruck - 7/5/09

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 13:07:24 GMT

Internet and phone went out due to a thunderstorm. It wasn't fixed until now. Argh. D:

Ow My Brains - 7/3/09

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:12:16 GMT

Well I got a haircut today. Woop. It kinda made me feel better about shit, but yeah.

Hopefully I could get a picture of myself up someday. I don't look very special, but I dunno. I could always go for a recent picture.

I Can't Hear Anything, Captain - 7/2/09

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:16:22 GMT

My 3 year old $20 headphones died today. I'm sad. D: I bought $10 headphones and they seem to work fine, not as well as my old one. (They're uncomfortable too. Ugh.) I might as well find the exact same headphones again because they were AMAZINGLY designed.

When it comes to headphones, I seem to have a curse with expensive headphones and they die within a 3 - 6 month timeframe. These new ones might survive at least 1 - 2 months.. But I might have to find a extender, since the cable is REALLY short. (Not ridiculously short, just the cable was bundled in a dumb way and makes it half the length it's supposed to be.)

One thing after another. :\

Whups - 3/6/09

Fri, 06 Mar 2009 13:02:17 GMT

Seems like I always forget putting something here, so.. Uh.. Nothing really going on. Yeah, pretty boring over here. :(

Updates on Something - 1/23/09

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:17:26 GMT

So I haven't updated this thing in a month and I believe I should update it once every month. (Or every two months.)

Nothing really happened. Seriously. The only thing that happened recently is that my parents got their taxes back recently and they're spending some of it on us. My brother's "birthday money" and they're (apparently) getting a PS3 for me in two weeks. They told me it's a "late christmas gift". What a treat.

Other than that, I'm a little disappointed that there's no good games coming out this year. But if I get a PSTriple then things will change dramatically.

Year of the PS3. For MK.

Now I have to wonder where I'm gonna put it.

Merri Krisumasu - 12/25/08

Thu, 25 Dec 2008 15:38:59 GMT

I wasn't really psyched for this Christmas, since my main present was gonna be my computer.. Oh well. I still got some good stuff.. LIKE BED SHEETS, OH YEAH.

I got some games too, nothing noteworthy though.
