My mom is no gamer... She can't even play Tetris (too many button she says). But lately.. she's been hogging on my DS a LOT.
First it was Brain busters: Logic.... and then Quickspot... now... Planet Puzzle League!!!
She even express interest on 'that Nintendo waggle machine' - looks like fun she said.
She even played Planet Puzzle Leauge until 3.am last night ..er ... today :P I HAD to beg her to stop playing.
Recently, all the game I played in my DS is not Megaman Battle
Network, NOT the uber cool Metroid Prime: Hunter, or even the ever
popular Tetris DS!
The game I played everyday is the 'game' Brain Age: Train Your Brain
a Minute a Day (yes the title is that long). It's not a game per se.
It's an application, designed to actually, literally train your
brain. It gave you a series of training program, and keep track of
the changes of your brain activities. Sounds boring rite? it's not,
believe me. It's not. It's actually pretty cool, and it's not a
'game' that designer to be playe more than 15 minutes each day. So
you keep going back for more.
Now, in the end of the training, the 'game' will give you a series of
test to determine how old is your brain, in terms of its activities.
Today, in attempt of some lame ingame joke, the 'game' told me that
my brain age is 7-freakin'-4!!!! After that it changed it to the
correct number which is 24, but seriously, 74? Geez!!!
Did u guys know? Shigeru Miyamoto, father of Mario & Donkey Kong turn 53 today!!
I wish him the best today and for the years to come, and thank him for MAKING OUR WORLD COLORFUL AND FULL OF MUSHROOMS!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIYAMOTO - SAN!!!!!!!!!!
Everything started with a bad things at first, for instance, last Saturday I lost my ATM card. Is not that bad, I can get it back pretty easily with just patience, the thing is, I hate myself for being so stupid. I know people would probably say, "It's human nature to make mistake...". I just don't want to afford one again :). Okay, enough of that
There are some kind of Nintendo Conference yesterday in Japan and guess what? More and more and more and MORE interesting and good games are announced. For starters,
Children of Mana
and
Final Fantasy 3 (not the US's 3)
I recall playing FF3 entirely in Japan on the original Famicom with my friend Morris. It took us about 3 months just to finish it because we don't uderstand what really going on. At one point we actually stuck because we don't know that we have to palce one of the stone on its proper place.
So all this good games for my beloved DS, is it good? Yes, more games always good, is it bad? Hell yeah, this probably means that i will missing owning some of the games (just like during the Nes Era), sigh... in short, too much game to buy!!!!!
I just hope they won't released too close to each other, hehehehhehe.
I went back to Surabaya last weekend. There are things that I have to do, among them was going to the dentist (not my mom btw), go to the bank to get my overdue ATM cards, and last but not the least, attend some wedding Party as an uninvited guess as a favor for a certain someone. Not that I mind though, there's quite a number of guys from the Uni that I haven't seen for a while :)
Yep, It was Sunny's wedding last Sunday (for those who doesn't know her, you read her name right :) though the party was okay (the event organizer suck, IMO) going there qas quite a bitch. Really, there like, wedding party ALL OVER TOWN!!! I know not so many people want to have a wedding party during fasting month but all in one day? Geez!
Lastly, I hope that 'certain someone' appreciate what I just did :) Here's a couple of photos I took during the party
On the side note, Nintendo finally shows us their latest controller for the next-gen!!! Yay!!! It was a very intriguing device, I mean, at first when I looked at the thing, i Was like WTF??? but after doing some reading, and look at the teaser video, I can't wait untul I can get a hold on one!!

I was sick through the whole week. Can't play, can't level up my character... damn it! I was partially well on saturaday so I was able to go to the NDS Gathering that I set up. I was able to play against the guys there and even take them out during multiplayer :D (Hah, I'm good) but then I spend most of the time sitting and telling people how to properly play the game and browse the net for news (eskei happen to bring a laptop)
I spend the WHOLE sunday in bed, doing ABSOLUTELY nothing but sleeping. I didn't even go to the office on monday. But I figure I was well enough to play DnD on monday night. Manage to gangbang a Vampire too without any party members getting wounded. Ha! that'll teach any monster try to mess with my dnd party :D. Actually it's more due to the badluck of the DM rolling almost never above 10 on a d20 dice :P. So we're up to level 4 now!!! One more level and my fighter can finally become a ranger :D
I accompany Bing-Bing to her EsMod competition final on Sunday and to everyone surprise, she won! I mean, it's not that her design was bad or anythig, it's just that the other contestants have excellent design too! As evident in the recently uploaded photoalbum here. As her friend, I'm extremely proud of her :) You Go girl! She got a 4 days round trip to Paris and a year of scholarship in EsMod (it's a fashion design school in Jakarta) she can opt not to take it though. But if she's serious in this subject, I think it's wise for her to take it, right?
So anyway, after the competition, I left her and continue playing World of Warcraft, and this is an actual conversation happen in the Game:
[Ishkar]: You're a cute Gnome
[Naraa] (Me): Thanks
[Ishkar]: So are you really a girl?
[Naraa]: Hmm, take a guess
[Ishkar: It's kinda difficult since there's so many male player play the game using a female avatar
[Naraa]: True, but you can tell from the way they speak to you
- Partying up, then fighting monster-
- moments later -
[Ishkar]: So, are you cute in RL (Real life)?
[Naraa]: Well, everybody think themselves cute :)
- More fights with monster -
[Ishkar]: Do you have a man already?
[Naraa]: wtf??
[Naraa]: Dude! I'm a guy!
[Ishkar]: lol
Come on!!! Do I really talk like a girl?? Please folks, players and people online can be really naive sometimes and this is prove to not believe anything you meet/saw/talk to on the 'net until you got a hard proof of it :D
Finally, after long wait, I got my World of Warcraft account on saturday!! Woohooo!!! I've played from 10:00 PM till 6:00 AM. Leveling my Character up to level 10. With an hour of sleep in between :D
A funny thing just happen, I died (in the game) and I move my spirit to where my body is, but I was sleepy so accidentaly I move to under a log. I though I was fine (I'm a gnome) but then, I find that I can't move even a milimeters from where I at. And it doesn't help when a guy beside me who looks like a flock of hair, is BICKERING like no tommorrow!!! Luckyly after shouting to all others (in game) I found a pretty usefull button called 'unstuck' within the help button. And I return to the graveyard and begin my trek once again.
So for those who play the game, I'm at Nerz'hul, palying as a female gnome Warrior called Naraa.
See you in game!
I can't update my blog yesterday. Does this happen to everyone?
Anyway, on Monday night, I should have had a DnD Session with some friends of mine. But it happens that the DM (Dungeon Master, a VERY integral part of the session) decided that he's not in the mood to play. So I ended up wasting a couple of hours doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Not that it his fault, you see, he's been sick for the past week, so the 'ol Ball-Chain would've restrict him to play anyway.
The joy of married life eh?
He better gives us a few extra session this week or else!
Oh, I've Uploaded a couple of new pictures from the Bandung Road Trip. So check them out.
Now, Meteos, God! this game addictive! Even a friend of mind, who claimed that he hate puzzle game was playing this game withouth turning his DS off for 1.5 day ever since I uploaded the demo to his DS. A funny thing about the demo of this game. From the demo itself, they can spawn them to another DS which make an excellent marketing strategy if there's plenty of DS to go around, and I hope it will be.
Also, April fools day are coming. So what crazy news will we found around that time? Only time will tell
