New post.

What's up? Plenty of stuff happening here in college. Finals are coming up, and its crunch time. I have to finish reviewing all my chem stuff and whatever crap I can find and study for.

So far, classes are okay. My had to quit my Japanese history class, because I had too much to do. That class gave like a million pages to read. If you group that with my philosophy and chemistry classes, I have no time to do anything else. So I quit. It was a boring class anyways. Philosophy, however, is a great class. We would talk about morality and where it comes from, and apply it to different aspects of life. And as an assignment, we had to watch a movie and apply one of our readings to it.

Well, at first it seemed easy enough. I watched Equilibrium, starring Christian Bale, like five times. And I seemed to have a lot to write. But then, the information seemed to get smaller and smaller as I typed down. Then I had to BS like the final paragraph to accomplish the page requirements. Not exactly the greatest thing in the world.

Chemistry is becoming a big hassle to me. So many concepts that we have to go over, and the professor isn't that great. I would have to actually read the textbook to understand what is going on.

And as an additional whammy, my computer got fried. Well not smoking fried, but it doesn't work. I had a friend's dad have a look at it, he said that some parts of the hard drive are corrupted. I had a tech guy look at it, he said that there was a problem with the reader of the hard drive. Then I took it to my cousin, who had a friend help him, and he said that the partition is corrupted. So overall, what this means to me is 3+ weeks of no lappy. Which also mean I can't watch movies and anime in private anymore. I have to go to the library and mooch off their computers to do stuff.

But these pass couple of months haven't been a total drag. I finally got a DS, and have been playing a lot of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2. I'm doing pretty well. I've been getting a lot of Ses and As for the operations. And I found out some tricks to getting Ses in some of the missions. Like if you're having a tumor removal operation and the bonus calls for COOLs, don't use the ultrasound. Just use the scalpel in the general area where you think the tumor is and cut. Using the ultrasound would make the retrieval a GOOD type, which I think is total BS because I would tend to forget where the tumors are suppose to be and would cut nothing. How would you know where the tumor was unless you have played the mission before. The originality of the operations is lacking somewhat. While there are new GUILT and PGS operations, the "normal" operations like the Cholecystectomy and Car accident patients are repetitive from the older versions of Trauma Center. I remember the same kind of thing in New Blood and Second Opinion. I also wish that they don't rely on just text, but have some people speaking actual phrases instead of "Dr. Stile!" and "Excuse me". We live in an age where the graphics are spectacular but having no person speaking any real sentences. I like New Blood for having people talk, makes the game more personal. The plot is good though. The obsessions of man pushing them into crimes such as biological terrorism. Overall, I give B.

My family also got Wii Fit. Its pretty fun. I mean I can do a lot of the stuff. The problem is that it expects me to come back everyday to play, but I obviously cannot go back just to play. The concept of the Wii Balance Board is pure genius. It has the ability to weight you, tell what is your center of balance, and stuff like that due to the four sensors at the corners. My problem with the game is the fact that it looks so dull when training. Everything is composed of three colors: blue, white, and grey. The trainers faces and dress don't help either. There should have been more work on that.

But that's pretty much it for my video game endeavors. Without my computer, I can't do much. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Peace.
