27/05/2011 - going pixelated

been playing lots of pixelated games: minecraft, maplestory and king of fighters 2001.

ill start with minecraft, i havent played it for aaages, so i guess ill go in and swing my pickaxes around. and along with the fact 1.6 just came out with over 100 bugfixes, THEN 1.6.4 just brought out alteast 30 new bugs, sigh. i started a new map for a fresh start. there isnt that much that's game changing really, just maps and trapdoors. that said, theyr great additions to the game. im living in the fringes of a coastal desert, yes u read right, coastal desert. and with lots of lakes as well, not mirages.

then i started playing maple again, undying love, heh.....? im just extremely bored so i went on again, this time's goal is getting my aran i left off at lvl106 to lvl120+, it's at lvl108 right now, at this steady pace, it shouldnt take that long.

i even opened up NeoRageX 5.0 (a simulator) to play KoF again, it's like mortal kombat/ street fighter kinda game, but there's much more of a story and stuff behind them, not to mention there's more variety to each character in it. there's no 1-button-pwnage-skill so there usually arent that much to abuse in the game, and the AI in the game dont realy abuse anything either. i mean u can spam fireballs, but that isnt realy going to work, ull know if uv played any of the series. 2001 is (i think) the 8th version, alot of people say 2002 is the best 1, but they removed too many characters so i dont realy like it, and the movement scheme in 2002 bugs me.

18/05/2011 - busy, not by homework

is busy playing darkspore, brink, and new portal custom maps. has a maths sac(test thing) next week, that has a average score of 40% last yr, BUT IM GOING TO GAME ALL I WANT! lol.

05/05/11 - captain succeeded v2.0

my 2nd ship that made it to endgame, actually killed the first clone myfirst this time. as you can see, i placed by command module perfectly in the middle this time, as expected, resulting in a tremendous boost in maneuverability. and with only 4 bubble shield this time, it's strong enough to protect me when caught off guard, but also weak enough for me to rip right through it against the clone. im actually very happy with this design, despite it lacks some firepower, having only 7 lasers.

right now im trying to either get a endgame ship with prismatic or sniper modules but everytime i get up to clone, it's almost instant death, weird. maybe i need to be more careful and/or farm for bubbles/repairs before facing them.

i am NOT going to use the "suicidal clone" method, cuz it doesnt seem that im achieving anything.

if u want to play it, it's here (if u own captain successor)
u can buy it on the site, here!

1/05/2011 - teh epic venn-diagram

finally made it through the first clone wave. from my previous blog "a kilo ship as much shields as i did, but all kilo-rank", i went to the wikia of it and found out it's the clone ship system in the game. smart system to keep endgame fresh. it basically clones ur current ship, upgrade it all to kilo-rank and throw it against u. and it's possible to have 3 pitched against you at once. BUT that is exactly how i got thru the first wave, i made them kill each other =D. not the most heroic act, but it's a breakthrough. the first clone spawns after u kill the first juliet-rank. then after that is just random.

anyway this is the ship i ended up with after around 20 clones, only 20 because i put too many shields on it, even with all kilo-blasters at the front, on full throttle still takes about 20secs to penetrate and kill. to make things worse, the AI spins around and all, so i lose my line of fire.

although this was a great ship, i was basically invulnerable, even against my own clone (cuz of their stupid AI), there was a very serious flaw in it, the Eris is nooo where near the centre of mass. because the game was coded to spin the ship around the Eris module, this realy hindered the turning ability of the whole thing. other than that, i think this is a pretty good setup. it started off as a "serif I", i talked about this last blog.

but this is not the end, even though i did get to the endgame, it doesnt mean im not going back to the game. i probably will talk less about it tho.

going to sleep now.
