'Course I can shower!


I'd say we're all a little dated these days.   

Obligatory "pics or it didn't happen."

OMG I was able to log back in...and HI!

Ewww....

I'm impressed that somehow this popped up on my Google Now.

I think I'm going to go take a shower.

That's a thing? You can do that? I... I feel so dated. And.. and... =[

Activity! ON THE FORUMS!

Be this mirage? An illusion? A prank on those who still love this community?

It is nice to see some familiar faces!

I've been good, doing the university thing. Still incredibly active and joining the reserves soon (by soon, I mean when I finish university, since boot camp is apparently in September, it'd kinda interfere with school).

Also, I've plans to either reboot this community or establish a new one. But shhh, that's a secret, don't tell anyone

I may re-install NS once I'm done exams (April 9th, 2 MORE WEEKS!) for some nostalgia. Those of you in the LM steam group, prepare to be stalked (more so than I'm stalking some of you already. <3 Kodiac and bijiy and Nooblet)

So it totally looks like my AoC guild will be going to EarthRise and it would take the game to bomb really really hard for the co-leader to change his mind. We're up to 13-15 members so far (all from the AoC core). StoneToad is joining us too.

Guild website here: www.dawnrazors.com

and we got subforum on the EarthRise site, here: http://forums.play-earthrise.com/index.php?board=32.0

Alright, thought I'd make a post here just to give ya'll some heads up. A lot of you might remember how nostalgic I get when I talk about Neocron. Now's your chance to be part of the nostalgia.

A buddy and I are going to give a different cyberpunk mmo a go. Closed beta should be starting soon and open beta should be ready by 2Q 2009 with the game releasing by late 2009. If you're curious, it's called EarthRise.

Sound off if you feel like joining me for it (maybe not for release, but the beta, at the very least). I'll probably start updating bl0g7 once again (if I can remember the password for it.. harhar) with some updates regarding it. We got about 5-8 people together so far from our AoC guild, so rawr. Join up.

Off Topic / Zero7's Adventures! (Asia! Second Edition)

« on: September 05, 2007, 07:59:47 AM »

Well, shit. Looks like that time again. What we hope to be another epic post detailing my travels! Before I start I'm going to state a couple things:

1) Less pics of airline food (Relatively, I think) <-- couldn't be assed to pull out the camera everytime. Truth be told this is just plain my fault. That and I didn't want to overdo the airline food pics.

2) MOAR PICTARS! This time I was travelling with 3 other picture takers. The result should be something close to a total of a couple thousand pictures. Naturally, it'll take me more time to go through them all and come up with a silly picture album. I am doing this alone =<

3) I'll refer to other people in this and one of them has decided to also throw in their comments. I'll sort out the relations now.
K = Male cousin (5 years older than I)
M = Female cousin (1 year younger than I)
A = Male roommate of cousins (they all live together)

4) I plan on re-editing my original AiA post for bl0g7. I'll also take a look at my other not-so-well-done adventure posts and see if they're worth finishing or not.

And here comes the content:

Travel Log

August 18
Learned from previous experience to come WELL in advance. Arrived at check-in 3 1/2 hours early. There was no line-up. 2 of the attendants competed to get my attention and to get me to go them for the process. Pimpin' pretty early. Except they were old (and not so pretty). As expected, I got pulled from the security screening line again. They did "the wand" sweep again. Also did a full-body pat-down. The guy spent a lot of time on my pants/legs. O.O

August 19
Arrived in San Francisco. Found out our flight to Hong Kong got delayed by 16 hours because they were getting nubbed by a typhoon. Other flights to HK, even one leaving at the same time as ours are still fine (and continued as normal). We have 7 bags checked in but only 6 claim tags, oh noes! Also found out that my aunt fainted on the flight to SF. Also found out that a bunch of people decided to lose their lunches all over one of the bathrooms on the flight, so the attendants had to close it.

M - Lawls at my mom fainting and the $120.00 Chinese fast food dinner. Football games go to 12:00AM?

Note: We received 6 food voucher tickets from the airline (Singapore Air) valued at $20 each. We spent it all at one chinese place in the airport. Pic will be shown later of the bill

Aug 20
Aug 20 disappeared. We don't know what happened to it. I suspect it has to do with asian hax and turtles. Turtles wearing mittens.

Note: Actually, I think we took a look around SF until our flight. I remember us getting 6 more food vouchers from Sing. Air, this time valued at $30 each. A, K, M and I took our 4 vouchers and spent $60 on  lunch and $30 on booze. K, M, and I then spent $30 on espresso and biscotti.

I think we arrived in Hong Kong the same day because of time-zone shens. I can't tell anymore.

Aug 21
Went to Victoria Peak. Saw some pretty awesome signs. Clouds blocked the view, but cleared later (wewt!) Also went to the harbour and the supar expensive fashion district. I wish I had more moneyz =< Seafood for dinner (with cousins' cousin's family). The prawn were like 8 inches long :O Really expensive dinner. Went back to the harbour at night for some long exposure shots.

M - What time is it? It's time to party! Baby! Remember when posing for pictures to spread your arms wide and make bird noises.

Note: We saw a watch in the fashion district that actually said: "It's time to party" on it. At Victoria Peak we saw random fobs (well, I guess they're technically not fobs...) there who posed like that. I can understand against a landscape background it's to help you look like you're flying or something... but we saw a kid doing this against a fountain and another infront of a shop. What the shit?

Aug 22
Woke up to rain. Benedryl helped me sleep. We headed off to an island to see the world's largest bronze sitting Buddha. I touched a cloud (pics later). Waited for bus, ferry, octopus train, plane <-- yeah, each one was late/delayed =( Arrived in Singapore later and went to sleep. Oh, we also saw a retarded bus. A kid stared at us the entire time and smiled. I think he likes me. <3

Aug 23
I like to hold my pen. Headed off to Thailand today. Yay! STDs! DO NOT WANT! Went on a river cruise with a karaoke star (Name is Saipan, she was invited to come with us by a friend who joined us in Thailand). K got to sing with her and prove his own supar singer skills (alliteration go!). We also got caught in the rain. Like, tropical monsoon rain. *frown* Also, I'm fairly certain I saw a hooker. \o/

Aug 24
Drove 3 hours north from Bangkok to reach a resort. Boring as hell there. We played 20 questions for the duration of the drive. Best question EVAR: "Does it kill zombies?"

Upon arrival we (A, M and I) decided to go biking as they had a bike trail. In 25 minutes we managed to finish the entire trail. Twice. A and M went over a rickety bridge with really nasty ass water underneath. Maybe swimming would be more entertaining. Ending up spending 3 hours in there. Standing in the pool. The chlorine got rid of the dead skin on my ankles. So smooth. We played some crazy Asian blackjack with our hosts. I ended up winning 400 Baht (1 CAD = 31 Thailand Baht)

M - That bridge was shady it had a "support" beam that didn't reach either side of the stream but fell short. Surprisingly though, it held my weight, although it broke my bike.

Aug 25
Leeches. Leeches EVERYWHERE. We went to a national park, saw a marked trail for a waterfall. WORST IDEA EVER. Shitty trail. Leeches apparently fly, we stayed on the goddamn DRY trail and they still got to us. The waterfall was like 2 feet high. Happiness VERY LOW. Hygiene VERY LOW. I feel very insecure =<

M - Luckily I brushed them off as they were on my legs, thinking they were tiny worms. Highlight: Zairo seeing a fat one, then screaming, then running and kicking his shoes off.

New Information: These leeches don't fly, they live in the grass. Equally "WTF mate" o.O Also, there were no recordings of the above happening (thank GOD). The leech was on my sock. In my shoe. >_<

Note: Other leeches may still fly.

We also went to another waterfall with supar steep stairs. At least there were no leeches. Went to a bar in Korat (unofficial name of the town) for dinner. Saw transvestites and pretty ladies (I think they were ladies). Two of them hit on me (one was a chick, the other a trans). Went to a club afterwards. More pretty ladies. They seem to love live bands here.

M - Apparently Johnny Walker is REALLY popular here. The young'uns all got a little tipsy and danced and attempted to play pool.

Note: The bar had an entire wall of nothing but Johnny Walker on it. K danced with Saipan. M and I played pool and somehow got down to 2 balls each. Her dad took over for her and I think A took over for me. Her dad sunk my ball \o/ Also, creepy old guys gave me a back massage in the bathroom while I was peeing. Good god that was awkward.

Aug 26
No hangover! Dehydrated for the entire day though (sore calves + dizzyness) =< Went to some ancient city in the middle of a modern city. Did other touristy things (i.e. went to see the statue of the Hero of the city and went to the local market). M + A did some drinking, again. No booze for me =< Booze tommorow, maybe, probably =>

M - Yeah, yeah, I'm a lightweight with beer. 2 and I'm tipsy. Playing cards like that was horrible, rap... wrap... pita?

Note: We were playing a card game called "rap"

Aug 27
Back to Bangkok... Bang "cock"... STDs! Yay! (do not want) Did some classic word play (cunning linguist, anyone? ^_^) Went to see a water dam. Of interest was seeing Buddha's handprint and footprint at a temple (all 108 signs are present on the footprint). Pics explaining each later. Also went to a tailor to get measured for a sexy suit. Drank in the apartment.

M - Man it was hot that day. Keekle at everyone taking the golf cart around the corner to the van while we walked (10 metres away). Keekles at A making a fool of himself by attempting to reach through the glass (he wanted to see a watch and didn't realize there was glass in the way). Keekle at my being an odd drunk and randomly saying "There's a hat store around the corner"

Aug 28
Visited various places of interest: Grand Palace, Temple with giant Buddha, Temple of Dawn (contains one of Buddha's relics). A traditional Thai massage followed. That shit hurts. If you're ever going to get one while you're in Thailand here's a tip: "bao-bao" means softer. "Jip" means pain. When in doubt, cry and scream like a little girl. I <3 alcohol (more drinking that night, we found a $3 CAD bottle of vodka early on... an $8 CAD bottle of whiskey... yeah, booze is cheap in Thailand).

Aug 29
Arrived in Singapore. Have a couple hours to kill before we fly off into Malaysia. I <3 Airport shopping.
Arrived in Malaysia. We're staying at the 5 star Concorde hotel. And we're in the Premier suites (awesomity). Went to dinner with great aunt + some extended family. Clubbing afterwards kinda sucked, but there were many pretty girls. Also, lots of hookers, though I suppose the higher-class ones are called escorts.

Aug 30
Shopping day. Shopping is also quite rocking. Dinner with loads of family. Family I didn't even know I had. Lawlz asian familes.
P.S. Booze isn't cheap in Malaysia =(

Aug 31
Arrived in Singapore. Went to the Night Zoo. We also celebrated Malaysia's Golden Jubilee (50 years of independence). I am NOT impressed with the fireworks (none).

Sept 1
Went to Chinatown (in Singapore). Saw a Hindu temple. A, K and I did a taxi-cab race with M and her parents to COMEX (Tech convention in Singapore. There were a few booth babes. Prettyness. We ate dinner at the "No signboard" Seafood restaurant. In Chinese the name actually translates to "Nameless". The reason for this is because when it first opened, it was the only restaurant without a signboard, so when people wanted to go eat there they said: "Meet me at No Signboard restaurant". It's located in the red light district Geylang. I also came up with an idea for an adult marital aid. It's a spring.

M - The night zoo was alright. Lack of black bear on unicycle was a major disappointment. The Hindu temple had really hot floors (you had to go in without shoes) and I didn't buy anything in Chinatown to prevent looking like a flight attendant (I found some outfits that look like what the females wear on Sing Air) I went to see the merlion... and... yeah... that was good, I guess. =/

K - Hi Mom! I was here =)[/b]

Older cousin took me to Wala-Wala (I think that's what it was called, it's a pub) in Holland Village. Cousin then took me to Clarke Quay (location of Ministry of Sound) and we walked to Central Mall (on Magazine Road 6, I think). He brought me to a Thai-themed clube with free admission and pretty girls. Club name = Live Impact. I am a tank compared to him (alcoholic tolerance).

I'll type the rest out later.

Right, well. Some people asked me in IRC about a Warhammer MMO guild. And then they asked why I hadn't made a post (both on bl0g7 and here) about it. I suppose I should make that post now then, which is what this is.

As some of you may know, there's a guild option for the sign up. Since I'm making this post, I suppose this makes me the improptu guild leader who will be signing us up for the beta.

Using this to gauge interest before I actually go through some more in-depth shit.

I've taking a bit of mixed martial arts and brazilian jiu jitsu. I've been working a bit of muay thai as well.

Personally, I've been trying to find a good Aikido class around here (there's none, unfortunately). I wouldn't mind trying fencing, but I'd probably enjoy Kendo more too.

I'm probably best at MMA though, out of all the above. God knows how many times I've used it in real life situations >_>

Ever feel like playing something other than NS, but don't have anyone from the community to play it with? Well, that's where this thread comes in handy. I'll list the most commonly played (multiplayer) games we do besides NS, including a "Flavour of the Month Game", which is basically a game I don't expect to stick around longer than a month. And without further ado...

Hamachi
Japanese Hax!

A program that lets us connect to each other, network style! It's like being at a LAN, except without physically being there. Yes, this means we can use the "Local Area Network" function in games and still play with each other. We use it.

Please only connect to our hamachi networks if you have the game and plan on playing it via LAN with us. If it is necessary, another network will be created for X game (assuming enough LMers show interest).

Also, please do NOT join more than one network unless you're a designated host (PM me regarding getting yourself added to that list).

Flavour of the Month
It'll never last!.. right?
This month's FOTM is...
SlaveHack

Synopsis
Browser-Based Hacking Sim. Though this hacking sim is as much a sim as Burnout is a racing sim. Seriously. I'll add more later. Just adding this while I wait for some nubs to start the wc3 game.

No Linky

Note: All LMers are AUTOMATICALLY added to a FOTM userlist. The only exception is when there's a lot of updating required (due to permadeath, etc.). If you wish to be removed from this list, please tell me.

-------------

WarCraft 3 - The Frozen Throne
Synopsis
Does this seem familiar to anyone?
You don't play WC3: TFT for the melee, you play it for the custom. Everyone is getting into WC3, it's just too bad there's a SERIOUS lack of good maps out there. But fear not! Our very own Zero7 (Me) and Holy_Devil (h4x0r) are working on making an LM map. Too bad Zero7 is a lazy ass and can't figure out how outdoor terrain should look like out of a castle. Go bug Zero7/Fewlio/DHP! And give them words of encouragement Also, Please note that most of us play on the US EAST server.

Maps
Just to help you sort through the veritable pile of trash out there
TEAM VS TEAM:
Footmen Vs Grunts - Fun map, easy to learn, hard to master. May seem simple at first, but more than meets the eye. There's actually an ASSLOAD of teamwork needed in this. It's fun. Also looks like it'll become a staple for when we feel like competitive play.

Defense of the Ancients - Common map. Everyone who plays WC3 knows what this is. To those who don't, it's based off of Aeon of Strife from StarCraft. To those who STILL don't know. It's basically swarms of lil' dudes and you control a hero. Think.. Dynasty Warriors.

Enfos Team Survival - Staple map to our play. Mobs spawn in 2 places for each team. Goal is to survive longer than the other team. A LOT harder than it sounds. Has more teamwork than one would think, too.

DEFENSE/SURVIVAL/EVERYTHING ELSE
Eve of the Apocalypse : Exodus - One of the greatest defense maps ever made, IMO. The LM WC3 map is based off of this style, so learn it well. Requires excellent team coordination and a computer that can handle 23984720398473098573045345 units doing things at the same time.

(All Those Zombie Maps) - Feel like killing zombies? Good, Zero7 does all the time. Play a zombie map with him! They're hard as hell and require patience, but he just found a new map that's actually FUN. Go him! Note: They're like the "popular" S3 Survival/Infiltration series. Kinda.

World of Warcraft
Synopsis
Yes, it's THAT kind of game...
Warcraft. As an MMO, what could possibly be better? Well... if you MUST ask, then I must answer with the following: Female Night Elves.  <3. Seriously though, this is actually a decent MMO. Blizzard gets it "right" with it's first release. Kudos. Choose between Horde (Orc, Tauren, Undead, Troll) and Alliance (Human, Gnome, Dwarf, Night Elf). Surprising, lots of LMers play this, as well as people from the entire NS community, we're just spread out over 20394820394 servers. =3

Go do something with your life.

In the audio file at :14 - :18 I heard what I believe to be a Cheetohs bag crackling.  At :30 I heard an older woman yelling in the distance.  At :36 I think I heard some anime, perhaps playing from a TV in the background background.  The sound has an echoey effect, suggesting it was recorded in an underground facility.  This evidence leads me to conclude that the sound file was recorded in 2_of_8's mother's basement where he lives. 

I hope that helps you on your quest.

Who are you again?

Right, thought so... Which brings me to my next question, why are you here again?

Exactly.

Anyways, 2/8, I'm guessing you have the lyrics already typed out or something, right? =3 Can you post 'em? =P

Off Topic / unGoogleable Music, very unusual

« on: July 26, 2006, 11:56:34 PM »

while it's a remote possibility, it remains a possibility nonetheless.

I'm sure others have noticed as well, but... if you listen the quality of the recording is rather.. poor. You can hear a LOT of noise. Now, my headphones currently aren't working properly, so I can't crank it up with them to tell you exactly what's happening.

What I HAVE done is turned it up with my house speakers so I could try to distinguish WHAT that noise is coming from.

Here's what I found. It might not be easily recognizable with computer speakers (I'm an audiophile.. crazy about music and sound, if you're curious).

The opening background noise: I'm not 100% sure without my headphones... but it sounds like it was recorded. I cannot yet tell if it was from a radio (previous recording) or whether it was live (if I had my headphones.. I could probably make a pretty accurate guess). Edit: Some of it sounds like movement... person recording moving, possibly to a better position. At 10seconds you can hear a "solid" (like.. a knock) sound, something that would not be in a studio recording (or it would be removed). Also, at several intervals after... there is "popping" noise, would also not exist after a studio recording.

Using a pair of lower quality ear buds... I'm guessing it was recorded live. Noise settles after about 35-ish seconds, audio quality noticably increases (possibly from finding correct placement/settings). However, the voice never loses that "boxed in" sound; it's a very, VERY slight echo... you typically don't find it in publically released recordings.. or even in demo CDs. You can notice it at the 52-54 second mark with the words "saltier tears" (no, it's not because she places emphasis on the words, the same effect is not as evident at the 39-40 second mark but the emphasis is the same).

Again, I might be wrong but it smells full of "secondary recording" or live recording to me. What does this mean to you? It might be a "new" song by a private artist. Think more about it and you'll understand why you have trouble finding lyrics for it.

Why might I be wrong? In the last 20 seconds, the audio quality skyrockets, especially after the introduction of the eletric guitar. I have no clue what the hell just happened. (Or it might be the onslaught of a lot of sound just impairing my judgement.. these earbuds are not very good)

However, I'll keep on looking for the artist/song. I'll see if I can make out more of the lyrics too. Where you got the song would be great info too.. =P
