AF1: Raven Scythe “Get!”

And again, my mind’s been feeling dull and blank. It’s all filled with thoughts of Final Fantasy 11.


Anyways, I acquired my first Artifact equipment last night, Raven Scythe, with the help of 3 LinkShell mates. Quite an easy quest and the Notorious Monster to fight was rather easy. We prepared for the battle at Giddeus by storing some TP. The party consists of WAR/NIN (Ladyrikku), BLM/WHM (Evasama), RDM/BLM (Puipuipui) and DRK/WAR (Wyred). Ladyrikku had 300% TP, me at 200%.


To begin, I traded a Yagudo Cherry to the quest point and the NM spawned out of the tunnel and jumped on top of me. High level Ladyrikku voked it, I used Absorb-VIT on it, start with Power Slash (120+ damage. bleah), then Ladyrikku unleashed Rampage (1000+ damage. wooo) and ended with Skillchain, Detonation (600+ damage. whoa). Forgot to check if the RDM and BLM magic bursted but we easily reduced the NM’s health by a good 90% with the above.


Funny thing was he casted Sleepga before dying and the 4 of us stood there waiting for the sleep effect to wear off. I panicked thinking there was a time limit to check the quest point for the quest item. But got it anyways.

Still far from being able to equip it. I’m currently, a proud level 41 DRK. I’m grateful with the people mentioned above for their help and for tolerating the 30 minute delay ‘cuz I forgot to talk to another NPC to get a quest item before heading to Giddeus. Had to warp back to Jeuno, take airship to Bastok, talk to NPC, warp back to Jeuno, airship back to Windurst, talk to NPC and chocobo my way to Giddeus.

Kinokuniya Membership “Get!”

I spend at least $100 at Kinokuniya every month on manga and stuff. I was there last week shopping again and came across Saishuu Heiki Kanojo’s $70 artbook, Love Song 2002. There was only 1 copy of it on the shelf so I snatched it after some thought.


Then it dawned on me that it’s time to check out for any membership stuff. Fuck, should’ve checked out the membership thing before making my purchases that day. Could’ve saved $10.


And so the cashier directed me to the side where the application forms are. Filled in the details and made a cash payment of $21 for a one-year membership. Got issued a temporary card and the official one will be delivered to my mailbox in 3 weeks.


I’m ending this entry with a one-line rant:
I wish the majority of Singaporeans to be more intelligent. ’nuff said. Nothing to do with the people I know. And I still blame local serials for the bad influence.

Temporary solution to Galaxynet’s spammers

Everyone who IRCs on Galaxynet should know about the recent comeback of a horde of spammers. Don’t know what the mastermind is thinking but I can tell you his immature logic is: “If 1 tree offends you, you burn the whole forest.”


Since his bots join the channel, does 2 /notices and then /part, all in the short period of probably less than 10 seconds, here’s a solution I propose to all channel ops, Delayed Voicing. Which is to voice users after they’ve joined and stayed in the channel for a specific period of time (15 seconds in this case). Of course, this means you have to set the moderation (+m) flag on.


;shameless self promotion. lol. Replace #peace with # for all channels you are
;on or add in more channels. Eg, on *:JOIN:#onechan,#twochan,#threechan:{
on *:JOIN:#peace:{
  ;delete the following line if you do not wish to have a greeting message.
  .notice $nick Welcome to $chan $+ . Please wait 15 seconds for your voice (+v).

  ;this line does the whole trick. Creates a unique 15 second timer for each nick
  ;that joins the channel. Edit the values as neccessary to increase or decrease
  ;delay.
  .timer $+ $nick 1 15 /mode $chan +v $nick
}

The green colored lines that begin with a semicolon (;) are comments. They can be remove and will not affect the entire script.


Instructions to load the above code…



  1. In mIRC, hit alt+r to access the script editor.

  2. At the menu on top, click on File, New, and you will be given a blank page.

  3. Copy and paste the above code into the blank page, edit as neccessary.

  4. File, Save.

It’s fairly simple. There are probably many ways to further improve this so do post your comments to help every Galaxynet IRCer.

Singapore Idle

Firstly, allow me to declare that I have given up on television and even gave up my personal TV in my room when the one in the living room malfunctioned. Because local TV shows are crap and I don’t have time to watch American comedies anymore.


I had a chance to watch Singapore Idol back at a friend’s chalet celebrating her 21st birthday. Hell was it disturbing. These participants, so fake. The way they behave irritates me to the bone.


End of the day, I’d bet the whole show is not about finding Singapore’s talented person. Rather, finding the next “William Hung” to do advertisements, promotions. In other words, another fucking cash cow.

Okaaaaeeeeeee

It’s been decided. I’m gonna take a 5-day leave in 2 weeks and aim to finish watching 30GBs of anime and hours of intensive gaming. I might even try a 24Hour non-stop anime watching and 24 hour non-stop FFXI. Sounds crazy? No. I’m not the only person in this world attempting this feat.

The other day my mum told me about this kid who died because he spent long hours on his computer gaming. I say he neglected taking care of himself (So stop blaming computers!). In other words, I know what I’m doing. [:)]
