Anyways, my allergies kicked in recently. It's horrible. I can barely stay 5 minutes outside without suffering a huge sneeze attack. And all of this just happens to coincide with Finals Week. Which is really not great. :|]]> Wed, 22 May 2013 21:00:00 +0000  
Any thoughts? I was thinking Ronald Raygun, but I'm not sure.]]> Sat, 11 May 2013 00:31:30 +0000  
Anyways, "A Goon's Deed in a Weary World," the most recent episode, really could have functioned as a series finale in itself. It's got the classic 30 Rock humor, but there were some heart-touching moments too. No time to write a sufficient review now, but I'm waiting anxiously for Thursday.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 23:14:00 +0000  
Because I'm on winter break, I've been playing these almost non-stop. I'm already through the original Half Life and Opposing Force (both great games), and I'll be moving on to Blue Shift soon.
 
I have a problem. Please halp. D:
 
(Also, I bought Saints Row: the Third, Counterstrike: Global Offensive, and Universe Sandbox for under $30. Wooooo)]]> Sat, 29 Dec 2012 19:37:00 +0000  
People are making apocalypse jokes like there's no tomorrow!
 
*rimshot*
 
...And that's all I've got. I can spend my final hours looking back on all of the glorious puns I've made on this Earth. If anyone else wants to take a stab at this, go for it.]]> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 04:09:00 +0000
Grey Mann.

That is all.]]> Thu, 16 Aug 2012 22:00:00 +0000 Some new stuff! Woo! Check out my latest Hero Factory fan art here.

And for a HUGE-ish bio on said character:

Name: Tobias Gene

History: Tobias Gene was created as a 2.0 Hero sometime between Mission: Ordeal of Fire and Mission: Savage Planet. He was created at the same time as Sydney Ace; after their creation, both were assigned to train as rookies under Delta 12 team, lead by Cedric Talon. The two heroes developed a sort of kinship, and became close friends.
During Mission: Hunter's Rampage, Delta 9 and it's rookies were sent with several other teams to subdue the villain Core Hunter in Makuhero City. He had already disabled several heroes, not to mention murdering several civilians. Talon and Gene took on Core Hunter, while the other veterans of Delta 12 and Ace attempted to save civilians from a burning building set on fire by Core Hunter.
At one point during the battle, Talon was heavily injured and Gene had an opportunity- the chance to kill Core Hunter, and ensure that he would never pose a threat to anyone again. However, Gene hesitated, letting Core Hunter escape and kill 5 more heroes before finally being subdued. Ace, on the other hand, managed to save the civilians and her teammates through some very quick thinking and reflexes.
As a result of M:HR, Ace was promoted to a full-fledged hero and out of Delta 12. Gene, however, stayed as a Delta 12 rookie, which made both heroes quite sad.
Gene became much quieter after M:HR. The guilt of not preventing the deaths of heroes and the heartbreak of being separated from his best friend had taken its toll on the rookie. However, the trauma may have unlocked potential in Gene: he began to show prodigious skill in the field of technology. This showed itself when Gene successfully disarmed a thermo-nuclear bomb set to detonate in Mekron City in mere seconds. (Strangely enough, the culprit was never caught.) In addition, Gene appeared to pay incredible attention to detail, often seeing what others could not.
As a result, Talon was approached by Vic Tory, head of communications of Hero Recon Team. Tory suggested that Gene be promoted to a full-fledged hero and become part of the Recon Team. Talon approved, although not without a fair share of reluctance.
As if by fate, Gene was assigned a familiar partner in Recon Team- Sydney Ace. Both were overjoyed to be reunited, and began completing numerous cases together.
Gene was given an armor upgrade for the Breakout. However, before him and Ace could be assigned a villain to track down, evidence was found connecting Mission:
Hunter's Rampage to the bomb in Mekron City. Gene and Ace are currently investigating this.

Abilities and traits: Gene is prodigious in the area of technology, and is able to interact with almost any computer or interface. Also, he pays very close attention to detail, seeing clues or formulating tactics that others often cannot. Gene is also quite battle-able.
Before Mission: Hunter's Rampage, Gene was a cheerful, enthusiastic rookie. Most of the time he was calm; he sometimes cracked jokes to lighten the mood, though. Gene was a generally friendly, social, and kind person.
However, guilt from M:HR and separation from Ace changed Gene. He became quiet, usually not talking unless spoken to. Also, he was less social, and often kept to himself.
Gene's promotion to Hero Recon Team and reuniting with Ace served as a major morale boost. Part of his more jovial self returned; he socialized with other heroes more often and talked more. However, he was more serious, and still lives under the guilt of M:HR to this day.

And there you have it.]]> Wed, 01 Aug 2012 03:06:00 +0000 So, in the hectic fray that's been the past few months, I haven't updated my blog much. So a few things.

I'll start with my graduation from middle school. OK, this means that I'm comparatively young in relation to most members still active. But I have to get my feelings about this off my chest.

Before I start on the actual ceremony (which was a few months ago), I'll say exactly why the implications of this are so serious to me. All of my friends from my particular middle school are going to a different high school than I am. Most are going to one that is fairly close to my middle school; I, however, opted to go to one that is about an hour away from my house. This is because I feel it suits my needs better than the other one mentioned.

However, this means that I have to say goodbye to all of my friends. Spending 8-9 years with the same group of people tends to create strong bonds between you and them. Sure, I can always text them/Skype them/meet up with them, but we know that it won't be the same, which breaks my heart.

The ceremony was very emotional, but surprisingly happy. It started with a mass, then the actual ceremony and presentation of awards, and finally a dance. The last part was, by far, the best. Us students got to be ourselves for awhile, and we had the chance to be happy- in my case, with what little time I had left with them. One particular friend gave me a particularly long hug; she texts me constantly. =P

Now about Boston. My family recently took a trip to the city for my brother's college tours- namely MIT, Harvard, and Amherst. I won't dwell on those; rather, I'll talk about the actual city itself.

Boston is very nice- IMO, like Chicago with a bit more "green". It's very cultured, and has a very fresh feel. In addition, they make very good food there, especially pastries. =D

And finally Malaysia. In a few days, we'll be flying there to visit some family (on my mother's side). I sincerely hope I'll be able to keep a travel journal of sorts on my blog here. I'd be posting from my iPhone, but it's better than nothing.

Having been there before, Malaysia is a drastic change from America. It has a very different atmosphere (maybe it's the trees), and it can be significantly hotter. But it's very nice, and I enjoy it every time.

(also a bit too early for Legoland Malaysia  D:< )

So that's that. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings. Still working on releasing TM to the world, and I might try to participate in Flash Fire. (Also, the title will likely be capitalized incorrectly. Any help with that would be appreciated.)]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:57:00 +0000 "...all it says is 'bird internet.'"

One of my favorite episodes, by far. :3

(and yes I'm aware that's probably not the exact quote

(and that lowercase "i" is not my fault I have no idea why that happens)]]> Sun, 24 Jun 2012 02:31:00 +0000 I know I'm a bit ignorant, but I just noticed that I have two warning points. >.< And I might be imagining things at 11:42, but do I have more proto than when I became a premier?
