Quest for the Golden Toilet Seat

It has been eating up my time on the internet for hours... Sucking up my reality like +10 Great Hoover of Mass Destruction... Not even my Wallet of Limited Holding can stop this beast from turning me into a junkie.

No, not pornography, although that comes in at a close second. I'm talking about Adventure Quest. *coughs inwardly, wondering how to link title to post* This game is simple and horribly incomplete, but after playing it a couple of times, you'd better have stocked up on Greater Anti-diuretic Potions, it will leave you addicted. There are many limits to this game, for example, the free account opens up only a small world for you to play in. But what a small world it is. Even Steve Irwin smacks a spot in this game. *tries to imitate Steve Irwin in best Australian accent "crickey!"*

There's just the satisfaction of playing a uber complicated game of rock-paper-scissors against clicked enemies. I mean how many games require you to battle an Undead soldier, or a Froglock (Any better term for a froglike warlock?) The pantheon order of spells are here too. Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Dark, Light, yaddayadda.

The great part of this game, is that you can roleplay with other people playing AQ. Although you don't fight against each other, there are countless story threads for you to follow and join in. Test your Escapism skill here.

BTW, if anybody has $14.50 to spare, please Guardianize my account. I'm Rohancorwyn and my character is Argent Nightcleave. Thanks a million! *winks suspiciously*

Back in the Sadle

Ahh to be back in Baguio. The air seems so very... reminiscent of... kind of... stale and light. Just the way I like it. After weeks in UPD for summer, I can return to my old lifestyle... Up, Study, Home, TV, Bed... over and over again.

Weeks of excitement and mirth takes a lot out of me, and looking back to this post: Time Extension Bill, I see that I was an ungrateful, yet genuinely bored SOB. You don't know boring, until you are in "Strange county and studying constantly, USA" boring.

At least I have the option of TV back here. There, it is just you, a book and piles of paper to keep you entertained. No TV, internet is a valid option only if you don't mind paying untold amounts of money per hour.

Makes me wish I brought a radio. Even a cheap ass P200 radio. Anything to keep the monotony at bay. Or a book. A long book. Given a choice, I could have brought the entire Tom Clancy Series, or the War of the Worlds. No, I was content reading the print on bottles of shampoo.

Although I must say, there are many things that enriched my life while I was out there in UPD. Like... uh... no. How about... no. There is that... no. Practically nothing. Except a bad case of heat rash. and a pimple on my butt the size of a nickel. I'm still dealing with that.

I'd really like to say Star Wars, but I was kinda strapped for cash. Damn the economy. After watching General Grievous on the Clone Wars cartoon, I was dreaming of the day I can watch this badass realized in 3D.

YES! Math can be fun!

And I thought the friggin' subject could never pay off...

Pimp My Wheelchair

Think about it... 15 inch free spinning gold-plated rims... Wicked electric blue flame job... Level 3 hydraulics... Maybe a NOs tank for a bit of flair. Oh, oh! And a bitchin audio set crammed in the wheelie's boot (assuming there IS a boot...) I'd probably drop it a couple of inches. And give it a... rear spoiler. Now, where to put the blue neons and the emergency defribulator...

Why stop at wheelchairs? Senior citizen walker's (Imagine your grandma... in Hammer pants... poppin and lockin... to gangsta rap... OUCH! My hip!)

Come to think of it, why not put spinners on every object with a measurable radius? Steeringwheel spinners... Sparetire spinners... Donut mags? (NO, too stupid) Oreos with edible "DoubleStuff" rims.

Level 3 hydraulic seats? (No, too dangerous... more like ejector seat that bangin...) Baby carriages with a soft top moonroof? (Been there, done that...) TV screens on mags... Spinner speakers?

I'm starting to sound street white...

C'mon guys... fellas... homies?
I'm cool... street... gangsta... whatever... right?
C'mon, let me in... Please?
I've got weed...
Let me join da hood...
I'm game... Fellas?
It's because I'm white isnt it!

Persnickety Pundit's Paltry Postage

Unlike my brother, a man/kid who has enough patience to report stuff in his website.. I am one who is vey picky when it coms to blogging. The less interesting, the better. At least that's my promise to myself. But a major part of me, the altruistic, raional and less pudgy goody-two-shoes persona wants to impart quotable and profound information... I loathe him.

The arguments about what to post turns my head into a psychological shouting match complete with the Jerry Springer-esque "boo" track. If you could only hear the ruckus here.

On to what does not matter. What is it with people and Firefox? Firefox rocks! Reading my brother's blogtagboard... thing, brings up one disturbing phenomenon I can't understand...

Blogdrive works perfectly with Firefox, the designs are funky on Firefox, if people insists on developing for IE. My mantra is, develop websites for the entire web to enjoy. Develop for IE and for the browser me and 50,000,000 other people use.

Now there's an idea...

1. TEST YOUR WEBSITE! Not just for the broweser YOU use, but for alternative browsers other people use... or use Linux...
2. Tile and minimize. Backgrounds are better looking when they are tilable. This makes for faster loadtimes since we all just have to download an itty-bitty graphic.
3. CSS? Use it, but make sure you use W3C standards so they display correctly on all platforms.
4. Spare the scripts. JavaScript should be used sparingly and correctly. There's nothing more annoying than a JavaScript error blinking madly infront of your face. Visual effects are better handled in Flash anyway.
   
5. Navigation is key. No paramount. However interesting and important the information we want is, if we have to waddle though crappy stuff to get through it, there's no point in having it. Use indexes.

I'd better take note of this... If you want to see one, well go here! http://homestarrunner.com/sbemail51.html

I love this site... Oh by the way, I have nothing else to say... go home already.
