Andere Woche
Yep, another week has passed. Time flies...
Life was ok for the past few days, giving tuition as per normal. Nothing much to update about I guess, since I'm at home most of the time, only going out to give tuition. Had Burger King on Thursday night... I went over to buy after tuition. The person cheated me of a Taro Turnover :/ I paid for it lo... but he didn't give me. Not the first time BK staff left out food items I ordered and paid for le.
Completed the marking of the first C lab submissions... 10 scripts only though. Marked, submitted the results, then sent an email to all the students with their grades and some feedback. It's non-graded labs... so quite rubbish ba. That took quite fast though, no complains with regards to the amount of time I have to spend on handling those students and the money that I'll be receiving.
Hmm, perhaps I'll just talk about some things that I learned while playing Maple Story.
1. Kill Stealing (KS)
Well, I'm not fully aware of how to define this term, but for me, kill stealing is when someone else hits the monster that I'm currently hitting. I've encountered one scenario where by there's this person just standing on a platform, with monsters below him. Well, seeing that he wasn't doing anything, I went to hit the monsters below him and that elicited his response, that I KSed. Not really kill stealing if you're talking about him standing there just to "reserve" the monsters isn't it? He's not even hitting them. How can one steal a kill if the monster was not injured in the first place?
Well, I always kena KSed de. Ha... low level is lidat one.
2. Being super careless
I think I'm not suited to drive. I've died umpteen times in the game due to me being inattentive or careless. Smelly smelly also die at least 15 times. A few times it was because I didn't notice that my character's blood was nearing 0 le. A few times it was because I accidentally pressed the "Enter" key on the keyboard (which made the game enter the "chatting mode") and couldn't "drink" potions to heal my character and I was too slow to realise. A few times it was because I just wasn't concentrating on the game and was distracted by something else on the screen. A few times because I wondered too far and encountered monsters which killed me with one touch (touch lo... not even hit).
So, conclusion... I cannot be a driver.
3. It's good to play with friends
Well, first thing, it's less boring... can chat with them while playing (and risk dying :P). It's a game which involves repetitive action of just whacking at the monsters... and the number of monsters that one has to kill increases as one levels up. In a sense, it's quite a brainless game. Secondly, friends give you items that you might need and even free potions for you to use :P Of course.. it's good to have friends who are of a higher level and can pass you their weapons and clothes. No need to buy... save money. Heh.
It's the same in real life isn't it, the act of borrowing/taking textbooks from relatives.
And just to sidetrack a little,
4. It's profitable to make a popular game that is free, charge cash for certain game items
It costs minimum SGD8 to own a pet (which lasts for 3 months) in the game. It costs SGD1.50 to buy a Gachapon ticket and play "tikum" on the Gachapon machine. A charm which prevents you from losing your experience points when you die costs SGD1. Getting married costs just SGD15 and comes with rings (engagement and wedding) and wedding clothes. Other nice-looking clothes and accessories cost quite a lot too (and they are just for seeing only lo... not even helpful in making the character stronger), but... I see so many players with cash items. One can easily spend SGD20 on the game without even truly realising it.
I've seen many players with cash items which replace their whole wardrobe (hat, top, bottom, shoes etc...) and having pets with add-on items like red ribbon or just a name tag.
Yes, the bottomline is, go make a free MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) and start charging for the attractive add-ons today.
And to end off this entry, I shall leave you with an IQ question which my friend got in his interview...
A person walks 1km south, one 1km east and 1km north and is back at the same place he started out from. how is that possible?
