Guilty Gear XX Slash

Indeed, the past week, I was guilty of the 'gear'. And i managed to try out Guilty Gear XX on PS2 and in Sungei Wang's arcades.

Let me explain what i mean by 'Guilty of the Gear'. It was a boring and uninspiring day as usual, and after a swim, i walked back to school, planning to hitch a ride from my friend back home. Too bad she was kinda sick with a bad cold, and she was on medication... darn, she's kinda drowsy and she doesnt look too good. Her class just had a quiz, and her classmates, all of our usual gang in college, were saying, lets go for a cup of warm tea, that'll probably make her feel better. As it was, we had tea and all, but she was still kinda drowsy. In the end, she asked me, why don't you drive instead? And i went "are u kidding? I don't have a license!"

After some pleading and some thinking, I accepted the proposal, crazy as it was. I drove slowly and carefully. Halfway home, she said, erm, can you drop me at my workplace? It's an optician's not far from our area, so i was thinking yeah sure, but wait! How the heck are you gonna get home then?! "Oh, please pick me up at 9pm k?"

So i dropped her and drove towards home, parked the car on the next street, and walked home. I left at 845 that night and picked her up, then had drinks at a nearby mamak, where she packed some roti planta for her mom. Ah well, luckily it ended there, she sent me home and I went to Hui's place. Either way, my liking for her seemed to have increased dramatically after that. Maybe it's the boosted ego from driving and being trusted to drive, maybe it's just being with her that made me feel comfortable.

After that, came the last few days of the semester. She had unfinished assignments, which i gladly helped out with (I wrote up to 30% of those). While i think she's kinda cute and likeable, I strongly disagree with her work ethics and her attitude towards college work. No. Darn. It's like two contradicting sides trying to duke it out in my head. But then that's hardly any surprise right?

Then comes GGXX Slash, the latest instalment of the Guilty Gear series. I just picked up order Sol, and i think he's difficult to use properly, but frankly, he IS indeed quite powerful. Bearing in mind the way i learn fighting games, no surprise that I just decided to play him with no real difference in the way i play any character. We had a lot of trouble with the new BOSS, the Ultimate Cheater version of Order Sol. Think about his moves, he has a special move that gains life constantly in that mode, has overpowered up normal moves, increased movement speed, and erm, a super move that is insanely damaging... darn!!!

Then comes my last update. Anime!! Zero no Tsukaima is a nice and funny anime subbed by Kuroneko and some others. Watch to understand where the laughter comes from. Aside from that, I am gonna be working for my dad i hope, and i dearly sincerely and honestly wish for a good cut in his deals. Maybe US$0.02 to$0.05 per tonne. That would indeed make me very happy.
