Waking the world

So with the Worldwake prerelease over, the metagame is still sooo random at eh KK Magic scene. So, with Jund again taking the top spot at the PRO TOUR, looks like its gonna be a tough guy to beat for now. Its amazing to see some veterans attempting control. the Blue white control deck to be exact. Its quite nice actually. I just dont like the idea of Iona sheild of Emeria in the deck.



The deck is pretty expensive though. Running a playset of Jace the mind sculptor. That bloody card costs over a hundred ringgit and a playset alone is already almost five hundred ringgit.



This deck has what it takes to go against simple aggro decks. Jund? I dont know. With a playset of Day of Judgement and two Martial coups, it will have you feeling

GODLIKE

Gonna try out my own version. Minus Jace though. Will be playing Sphinx of Jwar Isle instead of Iona.




Most Worldwake cards are kindda sad, The best card has got to be Jace. Thats all. Aint it sad that there is only 1 good card in the entire set? Got a playset of Loam lion.

ITS A WHITE KIRD APE!



Damn strong. Thinking of running it in a standard Zoo deck though that is kindda impossible =( Its hard when you dont have them fetch lands.

Minus one

So Math went off to work at Layang Layang. Wont be seeing him around here for months. Known him since we were 5. The chicken however will be coming back next month. Woohoo!

Recently watched two movies which were rather interesting.

1. BOOK OF ELI

2. SOLOMAN KANE @ SOLO MAN CAN

For Book of Eli, I have always been waiting for a wasteland movie and I must say I wasnt disappointed. The action was good. Fighting with a knife makes things more personal compared to shooting with a gun. As for the book, its none other than the Holy Bible. Love how he would go through the waste land carrying the Bible for 30 years just by following the voice of God. "For we walk by faith not by sight" But there is a big debatable matter. Is he really blind in the movie? Well, the Bible he was carrying is in Braille and near the end of the movie, the camera zooms in up close to show that his eyes are silvery white. However, there are so many things in the movie where it is impossible to accomplish without sight. Like how he beat those guys and never stumbles when he walks. How he knew the corpse had fine leather boots.

Soloman Kane is great too. It has a Van Helsing feel to it. Ya know, the hat and gun = witch slayer? Its great to see a one man army. Hence the name Solo Man Can = SMC. Yes he will send you to SMC if you mess with him. The best part for me is at the beginning where his men says "There are devils here!" and he says "In here, I am the devil!" So throughout the movie he is hunted down by demons yet just like Book of Eli, they dont say WHY he is hunted down by demons and why his soul is Damned. I am guessing he made a pact for power but I still wish they had shown that.

Good decesions beats probability

So today I bought myself a pair of goggles. After a decade without swimming. Finally decided to hit the pool today. Didnt do too bad. Did 4 100 meter laps. Was almost dead on the last one. I need my stamina back. Im a useless piece of crap as of now. Heres my equation.

HUMAN - STAMINA + LAZY = USELESS

Recently two human behaviors have caught my attention.

A
It is how when certain humans are not deaf yet certain instruction is inaudible to them. Its amazing how the "awesome" human minds can switch frequencies like a radio. When they are on one, it is impossible to receive anything from other frequencies. For example, when A is watching the television, the sense of sight and hearing has been used and when B comes along to talk to A, unless he/she switches his/her frequency, nothing B says will be registered. So what if A chooses NOT to switch his/her frequency when B only has the time to announce a warning only once then runs off? A = GG


B
This in particular is rather fascinating. I have seen countless of these and the numbers climb. No remedy is known yet for this. It is how a human would whine and complain about a problem he/she faces and how the the problem completely conflicts with his/her dogma yet does nothing to fix it. The problem drags on and often it becomes worse yet he/she still remains steadfast about doing nothing about it saying that it is a win win solution for both parties. The victim's human companions naturally by instinct offer words of advice and various alternative solutions to the victim yet still the victim is still stubborn and against any form of finding a solution yet still whines and complains.


If I determined how Moral is taught in schools, the future generations could live in houses without gates leaving both car doors and house doors unlocked yet sleep soundly at night.


ANYWAY, enough analysis of human behavior.

This is week 2 without HON. I hate games which are like a dice roll. The joy you obtain from playing the game has a probability to it. On a dice roll for HON it would look like this.

123 = win

456 = lose

YET if you roll 123, there is another dice roll!

12 = happy

3456 = stressed out AKA Nget Sai.


WOW still makes sense when the real world doesn't. My Hunter on world of warcraft is stuck at level 70. Gonna buy Wrath of the Lich King soon. Just waiting for the right time. havemt got enough time on my hands to sit down and grind to level 80. NO I will not play a Death Knight. Useless hero class. Lousy tank in a party and can barely top Warriors at damage. Some hero class eh.

7 days aint enough

Chin came back for one week and left. Damn. At least last night we had a great time together playing Frozen Throne.

Chin - Undead
Me - Night Elves
Alex - Night Elves
Mat - Human
Low - Orc

Its a pity Ezra wasn't around. Tulah kau Dusun! Always balik kampung. Mat and I should have played either Orc or Undead so that we could be shouting

FOR THE HORDE!

Good times. Cant wait to see that chinese fellow again when he comes back again for holidays. We didnt do much together due to busy schedules. All we did was play games, a movie, and more games. Sigh. 2010 has been pretty neutral. Hopefully things pick up soon.
Gonn try out a new sport soon. Swimming. My basketball shoes ripped and I cant find my size here in KK which means I wont be in bird mode on the court. So until then its fish mode in the water. Havent been in the water for almost a decade now. Since I outgrew my swimming trunks and I lost my goggles.

The water calls my name,
its flirting with me,
so I shall do the same,
in the water I wanna be,

Recently started listening to stuff by 2AM. They have not been really heard of until recently. JYP was too busy to promote them I guess. Being the more ballad and
soulful compared to their upbeat and loud label mates from 2PM. 2AM has it in them to go the distance. Now all they need is a hit.

The best stuff I heard recently. "Mawi World" on mineral water bottles. I wont buy mineral water just because it has his face on a Spritzer bottle! How about somebody like Jason Derulo or even Sean Kingston? Yeah, throw on a pic of good ol Sean Kingston showing a thumbs up with a word bubble saying "Water like a melody" or maybe "Cool like fire!" Jason could do that too with him wearing sunglasses and a songkok with catchy phrases such as

"Water say?"

"When the roof caved in, water came out!"

"Wa wa wa water she say?"

"Mmmineral water she say?"

All I have

verse 1
Wish I could get you pretty clothes,
Wish I could get you a nice necklace,
then date you in an expensive car,
and travel with you to nice places,

Yet the wallet in my pocket is dusty,
The paint on the ATM card has faded,
What can I do to impress you?
A man like me is not worthy of you,

All I can do is wish for you,
all I can ever do is miss you,
all I have is this song to ask,
Will you ever be mine?

Hook
should this ever make you laugh,
at least I know I made you smile,
even all I am is never enough,
even when I walk the extra mile,

verse 2
Wish I could tell you how I feel,
and show you that I am for real,
dont mind even if your answer is no,
I can live knowing that now you know,

as much as I want you to be with me,
as much as you want the finer things,
yet you are not too blind to see,
that I cant give you all of these,

All I can do is wish for you,
all I can ever do is miss you,
all I have is this song to ask,
Will you ever be mine?

Hook
should this ever make you laugh,
at least I know I made you smile,
even all I am is never enough,
even when I walk the extra mile,

Storm might come back. I dont know. No mood for anything though lately. Recently played Frozen Throne. haha! Its awesomee I tell you.

Well, tomorrow is the big CNY. Still hoping for red packets at this age. I have no shame of expecting. Free money is free money.

A Caustic Finale



I still remember playing truant back in school just to go play War Craft 3 Frozen throne. It was the most awesome game ever back then. We always played on Ice Crown. That was back in 2003. That time Frozen Throne just came out and it was hot. War Craft had the best plot twists in its story line. At the end, Prince Arthas defeated Illidan in Northrend and became the Lich King. Illidan, Lady Vashj and Prince Kaelthas retreated to the Out lands.



7 years later in World of Warcraft, the Lich King is finally slain by Tirion Fordring. A good frind of his former mentor Uther the lightbringer. What an epic battle. In the war, Lady Sylvannas is almost killed as a handful of forsaken go rogue and wipe out the Horde and Alliance alike at the gates of Ice Crown. For 7 years Arthas ruled as the Lich King and now dies. I cant wait to see what will happen to the Scourge without their leader. In the 7 years, these few people with the greed for power finally meet their doom.

Arthas is killed by Tirion Fordring

Illidan is killed by Maeive Shadowsong

Prince Kaelthas is killed by Any random group who wants to pawn him.

War Craft has been the best game over the past few years. It doesnt stop at Dota. No it will live on.
