2 days went by in a flash. But at least I had a good level up in FFXI. I completed Doom3 on Friday night. The last stage, Tomb of the Hero, was designed in a satanic way it gives me the creeps. The last boss, was too fucking easy once I found out the strategy. It took me 8 in-game deaths to realize that I’m fighting him on a circular platform. [X(]
<spoiler>
So basically, the way to kill him is with the soulcube. As you run around the platform, monsters will creep up and all you need is to kill them. At the beginning of the stage, as you descend from the elevator, you will have a chance to stock up on lots of ammo.
For every 5 monsters killed, your soulcube activates. Then you use it on the boss for about 4 or 5 times, killing him and ending the game.
</spoiler>
Somewhere during the game, you have the choice to transmit a distress message back to Earth or not. A friend told me that the ending is the same regardless of whether it was sent or not. I have yet to do some researching on this matter. After you complete the game, Nightmare mode will be unlocked. At this mode, you start with the soulcube in possession. And if your health exceeds 25, it will drop slowly and maintains at 25. I felt slightly increased running speed.
Fun with Helium
Last Saturday was the 21st birthday of a poly classmate. She held a high tea buffet at CafeVic at Carlton Hotel. The one next to Chijmes. During the last hour, I grabbed one of the floating balloons and inhaled the helium gas in it. Took me a four tries to figure out how to get the chipmunk voice. It was sure gawd damn funny as hell!! The trick is to exhale your breath, and inhale from the balloon, and speak. You can hear the difference yourself.
There are no side-effects, and it feels just like breathing in normal air. I believe it’s not pure helium for safety reasons, because of people like me. After you use up the helium you breathed in by speaking/exhaling, your voice returns back to normal. So suggested by the rest of the classmates, I sang the birthday girl a birthday song with my “chipmunked” voice.
WARNING
Okae, I did some googling on inhaling helium. Please have fun with caution~ Do not perform this trick too many times! [:)]
I repeat, don’t try it one too many times, don’t inhale directly from the helium tank. Only from balloons! [:)]
Damm! I should have stayed behind to hear the chipmunk voice of yours! Damm Damm!
