I’m on a diet for about a week with no meat. I’m craving it so much. x_x

I’ve been looking for a sv_downloadurl host for a while now for my private TF2 server. Unfortunately most free hosts don’t support this kind of file hosting and will suspend you for doing this sort of activity. I’ve known about the service for a while now but today I decided to try Dropbox. Dropbox is a web hosting server that let’s you have access to your files on the move and seems to be exactly what I’ve been looking for, not just for my TF2 server needs.

The way it works is that it creates a virtual directory on your system that uploads as you add files to that virtual directory. You will then be able to access that file online (assuming you know the link).

I’m not going to lie. That is a referral link that benefits me when new users join, however, by joining, you also gain the same benefits as me (250mb bonus space). I am genuinely impressed by the service that they provide and recommend everyone to join.

It’s 4:26 AM right now and I haven’t slept. I’ve always had sleeping troubles but recently I noticed something different. Sometimes I’d be extremely tired and fall straight to sleep. I then wake up 4 hours later. Why? I don’t even know.

I’ve been in China for the past 1.5 months and it appeared that my blog was blocked by the Chinese censorship filter.

During my stay I progressively built up a lot of anger Part of it was simply from being homesick. Others included differing cultural values but perhaps the main trigger for my anger was the pain from a recent incident that rendered me immobile for a long period of time.

Just a few days ago, I came back to Australia and just today, my doctor said I no longer have to wear my supporting brace. A great burden had been vanquished.

Home is where the heart is.

I’m a fan of games where players can customise certain attributes of to evoke an entirely new playstyle that remains as effective or even more so than the previous. Three specific examples come into mind.

Pokemon – Choice Band Scizor

• Scizor @ Choice Band
  Technician
  Adamant
  248 HP/252 Atk/8 Spe
  • U-turn
  • Bullet Punch
  • Superpower
  • Pursuit

Although Scizor had always been a viable Pokemon to use in a competitive team, the release of Platinum that introduced the Egg Move Bullet Punch changed the way a player could utilise the previously overlooked monster. To quote Smogon:

With the addition of a STAB Bullet Punch, boosted by Technician, Scizor went from #33 usage in August of 2008 to #8 in September, and never stopped. It reached #2 usage in October, and finally landed at #1 in November, and has not been shaken since. It is very easy to see why Bullet Punch Scizor is so widely used, as a 90 base power priority attack can make or break a game. The most recent statistics show that Bullet Punch was used on an incredible 96.5% of Scizor, with Choice Band and Life Orb making up 53% and 31% of uses respectively.

Team Fortress 2 – Combat Engineer

• Frontier Justice
• Lugermorph
• Gunslinger

The Engineer class was originally released to be one of the core defences in a team. During the Engineer Update, VALVe released an item called the Gunslinger. This change allows the class to be one that shifts its defensive capabilities to one that has increased mobility and offense. Alongside the Gunslinger came the Frontier Justice.

The World Ends with You – Cosmic SOS

• Neku: Black Book Bag, Goth Bondage Coat, Vampire Dress, Your Cap
• Shiki: Citrus Shorts, Potted Plant, Purple Sneaks, The Dead Slammurai
• Joshua: Citrust Shorts, D+B Ring, Purple Sneaks, The Dead Slammurai
• Beat: Biker Gloves, Pi-Face’s Coat, Purple Sneaks, The Dead Slammurai
• Deck: Darklit Planets

Initially upon release, players of the original Square-Enix title The World Ends with You would seek rare and “powerful” items such as Angel’s Feather and My Phones. After heavy playtesting of the endgame’s Final Time Attack mode, players gradually discovered hidden game mechanics that would eventually be argued to be the most powerful setup.

The Cosmic SOS setup combines the power of the Darklit Planet deck, which was already known to be “powerful” at release, with a combination of threads that would invoke a player with a condition known as SOS or mortal peril and amplify his or her strength to astronomical levels. The testing allowed the discovery of items such as Black Book Bag to be one of the best in the game. It had previously been overlooked as a mediocre item.

Ending Statemment

It really is customisation in games like these that attract me back to the game from time to time again. After not have played WEWY for almost a year, I remembered the deep customisation that lay within the game and picked it up once again.

I’ve been so damn busy lately. I know I’ve been neglecting my blog too much but I kind of don’t feel like updating it much.

I preordered The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time today. It should be good.

TF2 recently released an update with a “stable” version of the replay system that’s been in the beta for a while now. Here’s a quick replay I made.

The holidays have begun! Or should I say “study vacation” as my teacher calls it? Not much has happened. Short update is short.
