School is Rotting My Brain

Well, I knew it would be a lot of work, but geez...I'm overloaded. Between lab reports and my IT SBAs, I can barely find time to take a breather. Oh well, that's life.

In the time that I haven't been studying, I've been reading up on SSE and Artificial Intelligence, especially pathfinding algorithms. Pathfinding algorithms are actually strangely interesting, but then, I'm different. I've also been brushing up on a bit of shader work.

Yesterday, I got my report card. It wasn't all that bad. I got the 96% average I expected for Information Technology(pssh....) and a surprising 98% average for Additional Mathematics(I expected mid 80s). I also got a 94% average for Chemistry, and a 78% average for Physics.

My Biology grade however is shameful. That one is really gonna haunt me for a while.

Oh well, screw it. If anything, I'll just clean out the innards of my brain with a shotgun.

Yesterday, I also played against Clive in Halo 3. I LOVE THE FRIGGIN' GRAVITY HAMMER AND ENERGY SWORD. We played a match with only these two weapons, with Clive preferring the sword and me preferring the hammer. I won. Our scores were 30:20. We also played with guns, where I won again, but by a smaller margin(30:26).

Clive kept on trying to pop me with the mounted gun that he broke of, but... I'm just too good lol.

Sayonara,

Friends, Power, Sex and Halo

After reading that title, you're probably thinking, what the hell ?! Well, I needed a catchy title,so I decided to used it to appeal to all the bleeding hearts, megalomaniacs, nymphomaniacs and halophiles. Lets start in order of importance. That means Halo. I'm getting Halo 3, I'm getting Halo 3, la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Seriously. Also, a friend of mine is getting better in Halo. He actually almost beat me when we were playing with guns. I beat him, 25-14 when we were playing with swords alone though.

For the hell of it, I'll just skip sex. "But wait," you say,"skip sex?!!! Is this guy retarded?" No seriously, there are more pressing issues. Earlier, I used the word megalomaniac. That means a pathological egotist.

In English now. That means a power hungry nutjob. Have you ever thought about strategy games nowadays? Basically, in my opinion, they're helping to raise armchair generals, who believe that soldiers are expendable. Think about it. This is more pronounced in futuristic RTS games (think Starcraft, how many Terran marines did we waste?).
Before anybody decides to email me, I should just say I'm not knocking RTS games. I'm an avid RTS gamer. In fact FPS, RTS and RPG games are my favourite genres. I'm just saying that RTS games nowadays seem to encourage throwing out hordes of units to kill your enemies, rather than carefully using a small group of units to destabilize your enemy.Ranting done. Proceed, soldier... the Rear Admiral waits.

While we're on the topic of Warcraft by the way, look at this. Its a video of Warcraft 3 being played on a touch screen.

Okay, now how do friends come in?

Well, for this post, I decided to focus on one friend, whose birthday is tomorrow, the 20th of December. Sadly, she's sick. I hope she recovers by tomorrow. She's really a nice person, once you get past the quirkiness and the annoyingness and the randomness and the ... . Anyway, I'm just kidding. She's a good friend. She really easygoing and has what I call natural crack, she's always energetic.

So Cammy, I'll let the image do the speaking since a picture is worth a thousand words.



Ummm, oops lol. Just kidding. You know science could never replace you

Here ya go sport:



Love ya(like a sis)!


Tata for now people!!!
