Questing in Online Gaming = Chasing After Girls

Random Thursday thoughts.

I am actually a semi huge online game person, especially MMORPG aka Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.  No, not those type of BDSM Role play games but rather those like Guild Wars, Ragnarok Online or Left for Dead 2 where there are ready made characters and you may or may not be able to change the appearance of the characters, usually does not have a preset story lines and you could just do whatever you want in the game like hunting monsters or finishing quests to get an item or to level up, or just go online and chat with people from all over the world.  I am also not a self proclaim gamer girl because I am not until that extend and I doubt I will ever be.  I suck at aiming or killing stuff but it's fun to escape the real world sometimes and just become someone with super magical powers in a game and wear ridiculously pretty clothes in game >D

Look at how pretty and awesome they look!! I am undeniably a HUGEEEEEE fan of Ragnarok Online ONE and I have been playing non-stop for several years at one point of time in my life and currently on and off, jumping from servers to servers.  Left for Dead 1 & 2 is cool, you could be either the survivors killing off zombies or you could be the zombies trying to kill off survivors! (I convince myself with each passing year that it is aokay to be young at heart! T_T)

Then just the other day, a random thought struck me.  It seems to me like doing quests on MMORPG is somehow similar to the process of chasing after a girl!  Except harder.  Now there's 2 questions on your mind.

First:  What the heck is questing?

Second:  I can't see the any relation whatsoever between questing and courting a girl.

There there.

Well you can think of questing in a game is somewhat similar to 'finishing an assignment' in real life where you have to collect materials, do certain things within a time frame and if you manage to do everything in the exact order, you would have finished the quest.  It's like how one usually collects data then type everything out in their assignment then pass it up to their lecturers within certain time frame and you are considered done!  But just because you finished it (assignment or quest) doesn't mean you will get a full 100% or the item that you want!  That's the annoying part about assignment quest.

Why would one do the quest if it's so troublesome?  Well at times it's a requirement, just as your assignment.  You gotta do it not because you like it but because you have to in order to get to the next level or to pass that frigging paper!  Or at times, there are certain special items that you cannot just buy in-game or you have to purchase them with real money and you don't wish to so you resort to questing.

Questing is usually a pain in the ass as it takes a long time to complete, comes with instructions after instructions and if you miss one instruction, you are screwed up.  At times, there are even hidden instructions that you can only unlock after doing certain steps!

I mean, questing in a game reminds me of the scenario of a guy chasing after a girl!  Takes a long time  to achieve, superbly complicated and if you miss one step or put one toe out of the line, you can kiss the girl bye bye and even if you DO manage to complete the quest courting, your girl might not turn out just the way you thought they would be! They could come with an extra compulsive PMS behaviour every other day except 5 days in the month where they are PMS free, OR so overly attached that she tells you during Easter it is time for your sperm to swim towards her eggs!  Or the golden word:  Friendzoned.

It feels like that towards quest items too.  When you are doing the quest you feel overly excited and perhaps at times you set your expectations way too high and when you fail, you feel superbly dejected or when you succeed, it turns out to be something that you might not like.

Of course not every relationship or quest is like that.  At times after the long hours of grinding and courting and you have finally succeeded, you come to realize that this is the exact thing that you have been looking for like how Taylor Swift pens it "memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favourite song".  There are of course always a happy ending to everything <3

Lol like I said, random thoughts.  Doesn't have to make sense.  Just keeping myself happy <3

Reminded me of me.

Apple Crazy Family

Because last night I was hit by not one but 13 Apples when I was sitting under the tree.  Beat Newton 13:1.
Just kidding.  There's no apple trees in Malaysia though I wish they have.  It will actually mean we would have cooler climates around.

When I mention Apple, of course I am referring to THE Apple products, started by the infamous Steve Job and it's no secret that I am a HUGE Apple fan ever since their first iPhone came out.  Remember me refusing to leave the Japan's Apple store when iPhone 5 first came out here and goggling over all the endless choices of iPhone cases and accessories.  Oh, the good ol' times.

It's also not news that there's a strong rivalry between the two giant Smartphone Companies aka Apple and Samsung and it's also not news that when an Android user (usually Samsung owners) meets an iPhone owner, there will be instant eye war and the 'toe to head look', sizing up each other and then walk away, accepting our differences OR proceed to bickering about why Samsung or iPhone is better.  Today we are NOT going to bicker about whether Samsung is better or iPhone is better (of course iPhone is better, I was just kidding you!) but to look at who is the bigger winner from all this taking sides and bickering!

I heart heart heart heart heart my iPhone.

Earlier this month, Allison Morris from MBAonline.com contacted me because she came across my Apple vs Samsung post <3.  She did a very extrinsic research and came up with an intrigue graphic design with her team of designers of the breakdowns of Apple and Samsung's selling, shipping, earnings, profits with the gigantic title "Could Samsung Take Apple Down" and finally showing who is having the last laugh from the competition.  I mean I was curious myself to know who did better last year with the new iPhone 5, new Macbooks, iPads and etc in the market after Steve Job's passing away and Cook took over + the release of SO MANY (I can never keep up with Samsung) Samsung models aka Samsung S III, Samsung S III mini, Samsung Note 2, Samsung this and Samsung that, you know, so that if Apple did better I can rub it in Android user's face! Lolol. I am not just kidding.  So, let the competition comparison begin!

Well, it seems like in terms of profit, Apple fair much better because they did not spend that much on commercials or Advertising because who needs advertisement when you are Apple >D  Apple users are more loyal?  WRONG!  We just know which is better and more worth of the quality.  Hueahueaheae.  I mean seriously, it doesn't hang, there's tonnes of free apps around or heck, an app is just USD 0.99 or USD 1.99.  Don't tell me you can't afford that, like seriously.  You spend more on your donut or make up >D  It has awesome camera AND it looks classy.  I can only tell your Samsung models judging by the size of the phone.  It's either smaller or bigger.

There's only one two good thing about all this crazy competition going around:  The first one is forcing the two giant smartphone companies to compete and come up with better, more quality product and two, they are creating more and more job opportunities!

I realized Apple is like a woman.  You give them something, they multiply and make it better for you >D  You give them shit, they give you hell.  Heauehaeahuea.  So, don't mess with Apple!

Hold and behold, our family is FULL PROOF APPLE SUPPORTER!  We always term ourselves as "the Apple Family" (sounds familiar?  The Adams Family lol)

No, we are not selling Apple products

Every single one of us has various different taste in covers so even though it's all basically the same thing, it looks so different when we line it up and yes, there's 6 iPads ranging from iPad 2 to iPad 4 / The New iPad, FIVE iPhone 5, one iPod Touch and one iPod classic.  There's other spoiled iPods lying around but it would't be fair to put in the spoiled one so yeah, last night I was hit by these 13 Apples.  Totally blown away. (For the record, they are all 64gb)

HEH HEH HEH.  One of my more 'creative brain' talking.  Oh well, it's pretty fun >D Okay if you didn't get what it meant, it says WWW.mishberries.COM <3

So, welcome to my humble blog.  I seek to entertain :D

Quickly Update!

Last week was an eventful week :D

I called a radio station, as you all know <3

Then there are three major changes that happened in my life last week.

First is, yours truly got another hair cut.  Well I chopped off my hair more like, er I meant my hair stylist chopped off my hair.  I mean I requested that he do that <.>

Now, meet me with SHORT HAIR!

LOL, I hope I don't look horrible to you <.>  My mom says I look like when I was 15, when I had shorter hair.  I haven't seen myself with short hair for YEARS lol, pure black some more.  I've always dyed my hair and at many times have it at waist length, as you can see from my Disney post previously.

Oh well, I guess it's time to embrace the 'natural look' <3.  Right now I am aiming to grow it back to a bit longer but allow it to be in its natural state, unaltered or touched by chemicals and we shall see how it goes <3

THEN, there's also the baking class!!

It has been in my wishlist like forever!  I've always wanted to bake something, preferably a cake!! I have always been fascinated by the creamy, creamy batter and the mixer because everything looks so creamy and frothy that I simply can't resist!  So, when I heard that a bakery nearby is offering a baking class, I enrolled immediately without second thoughts and that day, we learnt how to bake fruit cake for this Christmas season! <3<3

The batter, before and after <3

The baker was showing us tips on how we could actually decorate our fruit cake :D  For more information, you could always drop me a mail <3


Last but not least, I've placed an order for iPhone 5!!  That's like my 2 years long dream and it's finally going to get fulfilled!  <3  THIS definitely requires an announcement <3  Not flaunting, simply sharing my happiness with all of you EVEN IF you are an Android supporter <3

This is the season of happiness and forgiveness so forgive and forget (if you are able to).

Updates:

1. The Gingerbread taste GOOD!  It's crunchy and sweet with a light hint of ginger but it's yummy!

2.  I've watched The Hobbit on it's premiering day.  SO MUCH FEEL!!!! For all of you LOTR lovers, this is NOT disappointing at all, oh gosh the feels and emotions that was felt throughout the movie, it's like falling in love all over again <3


See you guys soon!! <3

SURPRISE!!! TO MYSELF!

TODAY MUST BE A DAMN GOOD DAY YOU BET BECAUSE YOU ARE SO RIGHT!  LOL.

Yes all in Caps Lock.  Check out the excitement >.>

Well can't be help cause cause CAUSE, I GOT MY NEW CAR!  OH THE THRILL!!

I am so tempted to say (scumbag) Mommie didn't pick up the phone when I called her so I called my friend to tell him (I mean, I've got to channel all that excitement out before I explode right?!) and he says I sounded so happy because I GUESS I AM!! I believe I was even giggling at some point >.> Mad hysteric woman. 

I was almost going to jump and all when the Uncle who does my car transaction calls me in the evening to tell me my car 'is ready' and I have to drive to xx location to pick my car up.  I was praying so hard on the way and telling myself not to 'step on it' but I honestly can't wait to reach the destination!  I even honked at a car in front of me because he was taking ages to move >.>  Sorry car, I normally aren't that impatient.  You just chose the wrong day to be slow ;_;

Well my new car is such a BEAUTY (no pun intended.  Listening to "Beauty and the Beast" RIGHT now) and his name is :  PADDINGTON JR. II  lawl!!  I have been thinking of the name for my new car and this is it!  This is also an honour to my old car, Paddington <3

It was so exciting driving in my new car because not only everything is brand new, it just felt so awesome that the aircond is finally cold and there is a freaking RADIO.  Well the radio in Paddington was stolen before I had possession of him and I absolutely love music so you can imagine the excitement when I on the radio and it's playing one of my recently crazed song:  Katy Perry's Wide Awake.

The title of the blog is call Surprise to Myself because it wasn't confirmed if I will get my car this week or next week since the past two alternate days was a Public Holiday and there's the loan and insurance issue but fast forward everything, Uncle managed to help me get my car today!  With a good tint >D

In other words, everything is perfect.  Today is really a perfect day.  And I get to eat homecook dinner with my Godfamily and hijacking my Godbrother's iPad to blog about this right now >D

In my excitement to go meet my newborn (car), I just put on the first thing that I could lay my hands on and drove all the way to meet Uncle and it is only later then I realize what I was wearing <3

Hahaha befitting day to wear a Nyan Cat T-shirt huh?  I guess I do feel like I am pooping rainbows right now <3  PERHAPS!  My dream is trying to hint me that I will get my car today cause I dreamt of a near-to-rainbow Meadow lol >.>  Okay I am reading too much here.  Just too happy.  Pretty hard to contain it all in.  Must let it seep out a bit here and there =P

I can't believe I will ever use this sentence but.. WHY ARE ALL THE OTHER CARS DRIVING SO SLOW!  LOL, I promise I wasn't speeding, just that the car accelerate much faster than old Paddington <3

Okay, see you peeps soon! <3  /cuddles carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrararararara

I HELD AN IPHONE 5 \o/

YES FOLKS!

MY HAND HAVE HELD BOTH THE WHITE AND THE BLACK IPHONE 5 ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDD it's simply AWESOME!!!!!

Was at Akihabara for the entire day yesterday and OMGEE GEE GEE GEEE GEEEEE!!! Rows and rows and ROWS of iPhone 5 on display T^T

#1  White iPhone 5

It does not feel particularly short, in fact it feels like it's just the very right size.  After testing this, me and Godbro went to try on an iPhone 4S and gosh, it felt like some part of the phone has been cut away.  The resolution, sensitivity of the phone and the awesomeness of the camera.  I just want to bring one home right away,  Oh on another note, I prefer the black to the white one :D

#2 Rows and rows of iPhone 5

#3  Them selling iPhone 5 like people selling cosmetic over T^T

 #4  Rows and ROWS and ROWS of iPhone 5 accessories that you will just go ga-ga over :D

That's it!  Short update! <3  See you guys soon!

Digi is Bringing in 4G!!!! OMGEEEE O.O

Okay shit just got real.

Shit just hit the fan.

Shit is coming to Malaysia because this is DA SHITZ!  O.O

I just found out that, Digi, as in OUR MALAYSIA'S DiGi, is bringing 4G into Malaysia, the first 4G provider in ASIA and it's known as "The Tomorrow Network".

I can't believe this O.O

Read here for more.

I wonder how much will they charge for the plans?  For those who are really eager to get your iPhone 5, don't get it from Singapore or anywhere else because I heard that the price of iPhone 5 will be the same as iPhone 4S when it was first launched so why risk the warranty and also there is a chance your imported iPhone will not be able to function here (plus the fact that you are gonna spend an extra couple of hundreds).

I've also heard (you must be wondering where I hear all this things lol) that most likely iPhone 5 will be launched in Malaysia on October 19th, 2012.  How true is this, I am not sure but even if it's true, the waiting list will be more than a month definitely cause they are anticipating twice the amount of people buying than last year's 4S.

Well good luck and all the best in hoping 4G really comes to Malaysia!

BEST iPhone 5 Parody Video Out There!

It's so shitty!  So retarded and yet so funny!! ESPECIALLY the last part so DO watch to entertain yourself <3

Cool concept and ideas.  Maybe Apple should really implement them >D

Most Epic iPhone Tagline!

Today, my friend is convincing me to not get an iPhone because she says it's shit phone and her most convincing AND EPIC line was this:


X says
oh hey
look
people already complaining about battery life
its even shorter now
sure is a mobile phone when you have to recharge it every couple of hours
iphone 6 will not have a battery, you have to plug it

the price tag of 1999$ might be a bit high

but its worth it!

best thing ever

we are planning to introduce mortgage plans for the iphone 7

OH MMM GEEEEEE.  I can't believe she said this because it's just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too epic!!!!!!!!!!

But sorry X, joo are fighting a loss battle.  I will definitely get an iPhone T^T

More iPhone 5 Updates!

I know some of you are getting your iPhone tomorrow (which is less than 2 hours time to midnight on my clock) which I would delightfully cross my stubby fingers around your little neck (which I won't) BUT, for the rest of you who STILL HAS TO WAIT, LIKE ME, here are more updates (or should I say a compiled version) to let you have something to ga-ga over before you are able to have your own physical iPhone 5 firmly grasp in your hand.

Without further ado, I present to you an image grabbed from a Facebook friend!

Oh wait, wrong picture.  But er, well Samurai Burger seems fine too.  To curb my hunger for the iPhone 5 temporarily :D



THIS IS IT!  TA-DA!

iPhone 5 - Like Finally

#1  Picture from money.cnn.com

Official iPhone 5 Trailer released by Apple

2 words:  Not impressed.  For someone who has been anticipated to get their hands on an iPhone or rather, the NEW iPhone (which obviously does not involve iPhone 4S), all we get is a longer version of an iPhone.  It's like Dark Knight went wrong.  Instead of seeing a whole new design of Batman after such a long time, all you get is a Batman with incomprehensible vocal cord (wait that actually happened).  What I am saying is, I am disappointed with the look of iPhone 5.  I would rather a wider screen instead of a longer one.  It feels like Tim Cook fed viagra to the iPhone instead of enlarging it.  I don't know, maybe some of you do like it longer.

Anyhoo, bout the specs- overall it's quite impressive considering its something so small and so light which you can carry everywhere.  iPhone 5 is 18% thinner than iPhone 4S which also makes it the current thinnest phone in the world (before someone else comes and make another thinner phone).  The Retina display expanded from 3.5" to 4" and that means 5 rows of icon for you users instead of the old four rows.

iPhone 5 also sport a better anti-glare screen but that does not give you an excuse to text or play games while walking and toppling into the next fountain in a mall (it really happened you know).  Another thing bout iPhone 5 which is a huge improvement in my opinion is the back of the phone.  Apple has decided to fix this flaw by replacing the glass back (which many of you has broke this part of your iPhone before) to being a metal back.  Thank goodness it's not the same type of metal as iPod 2nd Generation cause you can trace a criminals' fingerprint using that.

The new A6 chip used in the New iPad is sported in iPhone 5 as well, which means your phone works 2 times faster that the current A5.  Web pages and music loads faster naturally.

Oh for all of you camera lovers, get ready for the big thing.  When Apple released its first iPhone, we were all horrified by the camera resolution cause its plain dreadful.  Today, one of the best portable 'dslr comparable' device is your iPhone 4 or 4S and what do you know, Apple actually put in an effort to further enhance their iPhone's camera experience.  Even though the primary camera is still 8 MP, it features a f2.4 aperture and also a 28 MP panoramic picture to make your photos turn out amazing.  Below are some sample pictures released by Apple.

# 2

#3 

For a phone that weighs 112 gram, imba speed in surfing the net/play games/call etc etc and it provides such pictures with its camera - what else can you ask for?  (perhaps a bigger screen)

Anyways, the phone features better audio, smaller dock connection, iOS 6, more carriers but one thing that did not change is the battery life.  I mean it did, Apple sort of gave it a 'longer' battery life than iPhone 4S but now that it has a bigger screen and faster processor, it means giving you the same poor battery life spotted in iPhone 4S.

For those of you who can't wait to get your hands on it, congratulations if you are living in this 9 countries namely:  United States, Canada, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Singapore, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong - You can get it by 21st September 2012.  The rest of the world can just wait for its presence to arrive.

Now the question is:  16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB?  And Black or White?
