Phrase from the Fool

"It is the arrogance of man which prohibits us from acknowledging that, through imperfection, we have reached perfection."

First Place = Last Place

Haven't you noticed that everything is based on who is first or who is last? But, whether you are first or last, isn't that insignificant? Because, I'm a person who hasn't been left behind when it comes to studying. When I was in Primary School, I graduated as the valedictorian. In other words, first place. I was obsessed in getting that post that I really didn't care who was stepped upon. Of course, I gained it honestly, but, the countless of people I refused to help and the countless of people I trampled upon to reach my goal, was it worth it? In the end, it is true I gained first place, but it was not the position that helped me, but my grades. The position, the trophies, the medals, were just for show! It didn't gain me anything!

I'm saying this because I have seen people who are obsessed with gaining trophies or medals. Let me tell you this, it is not the medal or the status that counts but, the effort that you underwent to get there. And no matter how great your goals are never forget what is important to you.

Suugaku Joshi Gakuen

The title means Math Girl's Academy. Yes, it is a dorama from Japan about Mathematics. Well, it sounds boring (believe me, I'm indifferent towards Math). But, it is anything but boring.

The plot line:

Some months ago, the Mathematics genius girl "Nina"(Reina Tanaka) moved to "Machida Math Girl School" from the public school in Fukuoka Prefecture. Nina has to find her elder sister "Kiina", vanished out this school one year ago. Nina decided to get the title of "SugakuBanchou(the leader of math)", for get the key(clue) to finding her sister."Sayuri" (Sayumi Michishige) is Nina's classmate. She has Aiming to beat and win to Nina with the mathematic battle. She believes hold her own.One day, Math-weak-boy "Kazuki"(Dori Sakurada) comes to this school. He has to move to this Girl's School,because of his parent's two Mistakes on the procedure... - wikipedia.org-

Sheesh, horrible grammer.

How everything works out

I swear, I have never seen such a fun show about Math (I still am indifferent towards Math though). The problems and everything are great, but the characters and the events that happen are very comedic. Especially, the main protagonists are all different. One, is a yankii (rebel). The other is a push over and the last one is very narcissistic. You ask me, it is a great combination for comedy.

Earth 2160

This is my review on Earth 2160. I know what you are asking, "What's so great about this game?" I am going to be a complete kiss ass for now by saying, "Well, it has great graphics and it occupies less than a gig."

Earth 2160 follows the progress of the factions, the United Civilized States, the Eurasian Dynasty and the Lunar Corporation, who, after escaping the doomed Earth, headed for Mars. After a time of relative peace and recovery, the factions once again come to blows, with a fourth faction ofextraterrestrial nature, named the Morphidians, coming into play. Just a few thousand humans were specifically chosen for the evacuation of Earth, and as such manpower and resources are limited. Upon reaching Mars, the factions set about completing the difficult and lengthy task ofterraforming the planet independently of one another. As the game begins the process appears to be far from completion. -wikipedia.org-

Well, enough about the story line and lets get to criticism. Yes, it has great graphics for such a small amount of space occupied in your HDD. But, graphics aren't worth jack if your soldiers, when they die, act like if they are made of plastic. The movement of your units is a bit suckish. Sorry, it is quite horrible. Even, old games have better movement that what this game does.

I must admit that its gameplay was great. There are three different factions and each of them being completely varied when it comes to strategies, construction, resources required and how it is gathered, and the units themselves (tanks, robots, organics, and hovercrafts). To top it all off, you can modify your units according to the situation in game. For example, modify a tank to be able to withstand lasers instead of missiles. This increases the amount of strategies that can be used. 

Now, the AI of the computer is highly adaptable. It adapts according to your strategy making it quite a challenge. It is actually really smart and very hard to beat even in easy. The campaign is really tough. Your strategic mind will be pushed to its limits.

Good luck with this game. You are going to need it.

Haunting Dream

Hey... Do you remember the girl that I dreamt and described some posts before?

Well, from a wonderful dream, it has now become a nightmare. I swear, it haunts me throughout the day and throughout the night. Even, when I sleep, I see her again. My imaginations are now based on it. To top it all off, I saw an Idol whose face was the same as the girls (might be the reason why I began to like the idol). Now, I can't even distinguish between reality and fantasy. It has filled me with a false hope that the impossible might just happen. It is now more frustrating than soothing.

Heh... dreams are not meant to be happy (for me). They are supposed to be mysterious, strange, philosophical, terrifying, etc... Dreams are supposed to be brief with no special attachments to it. But, why has this dream kept an image in head? Why do the emotions within it resound through my mind?

It is ruining my rational thought. Dreams are just dreams. A recollection of memories. Nothing more and nothing less. But, why has it been this impacting?
