Project Diva Arcade

This will be one more arcade game to be played in the arcades this vacation. However, the upcoming tests and exams are in the way of the vacation and just like last year, there may be tests every week so we’ve got to keep studying. There were IT Free Training videos I already watched and learnt from but then the learning was at the beginning starting the Terminal Server thing whose configuration was still incomplete. There were other things about the OSI models in which I took some interesting notes I got the attention from. Well, each run is short in rhythm games in the arcades but it is expensive and takes more money than other arcades games other there by costing around $1 to $3 and this game costs $2 per run. Sure there are many songs to play and choose from but it’s risky to play this game again and again and again. I played this game, Project Diva Arcade for the first time but I chose the one-song run and that was a waste of $2 as I don’t want to risk myself failing the stages in rhythm games. What’s important to avoid failing is the Life Bar and the Stage Completion requirement bar. The bottom bar depends on how well you do and the Life Bar on top is that you must pay the first attention to. These two bars are the top priorities in the game but unfortunately, my timing wasn’t right although it was meant to be synchronized with the music. Also, some parts can be tricky but the controls are right with right button size and alignments. It is way smoother than playing this on the PSP but it has high-definition visuals and changed features. It is one whole game featuring the songs from the PSP versions because it can be updated and is running on the new Sega PC based arcade machine that scores and other kinds of data can be recorded online with the usage of the network connection. It’s not bad but there are two problems with rhythm games in the arcades. First is that the room can be noisy even if rhythm game genre is the most important in terms of volume and speaker setup so that players can pay more attention but then having too loud of the volume of some rhythm games can cause another different problem. Second is that there should be some kind of game genre filtering on the arcade room as well as walls that form another room of the arcade center.

Before this, I bought another 3200 MS Points Card from Game Store and there was a 250GB HDD being displayed as well. The price wasn’t bad but too bad I still have to prepare additional money to buy that HDD. Even other people will have to buy that thing as well in case their console is running out of storage space. Well, there’s one more 3200 MS Points Card to buy before spending the remaining points of certain Xbox Live Arcade games. What I planned at home is to take an existing 16GB USB Flash Drive as I still haven’t bought that HDD yet to store certain games that are bought using those MS Points Card. The calculation will go as 14GB but trying to download games like that will take a long time which can be tedious for the console itself. I guess that other people had already bought those games before I did or perhaps they are replaced with the Kinect powered games being on display on the stores.

Then there’s some newspaper in June 24th saying that things were getting way too bright in the morning. I guess the summer had already started but this is way worse like that photograph may be next year’s warning example. The palette of the place may change in color and things may be a lot hotter than ever that they may burn without warning. My thoughts are that this is the late first anniversary of the Eschatological Pranking Day that happened in late May to warn the people of the upcoming end. Indeed, this new Clear commercial has been showing us the examples of how our hair will be screwed if there are way too much hair-fall and dandruff that spell disasters on it.

Vacation starts now

The term is over so is the set of tests that the college vacation starts now. However, it’s only three weeks due to the nastiness of the timetable itself. So, I went to buy 3200 MS points after explaining that the Asian Xbox 360 consoles are based on NTSC-J region. Also, only 250GB hard drive is available for Xbox 360 S. The lower sized hard drives are somewhat not available here but forget about the hard drives as they are freaking expensive. Even the USB hard drives don’t help because USB storages are limited to 16GB so the 16GB flash drives can be useful for storing certain games.

The first Games On Demand I bought using that 3200 MS point card was Raiden IV and it is apparently multi-language compatible but the game size is under the range of Xbox Live Arcade games. The interface is great but the effects recycled from the prequel are nothing as good as the prequel. Also, the quality of Stage 5 and 6 on Xbox 360 modes are freaking low compared to other stages and the True Last Boss destruction thing from in-game doesn’t seem to be anything good either. The game’s still not bad with 7/10 and if you beat the True Last Boss, you get to see the ship making clear of that boss after destroying it. From that moment, you will get the Mission Complete bonus before the ship returns back to the mothership as usual and what do you get, a true peace after the battle. For first loop completion FMV, you return to find that the invasion is on-going and the mothership is under attack as well and thus beginning the second loop.

IPv6 day aftermath

We were freaking aware of the rumors of late May false happenings but then there were some biblical noobs and movie noobs out there trying to make stupid referral medical links to here. What a medical spam that was set out to dis-believe what was going to happen. Another thing was that some friends of mine were starting to become musical faggots for liking that 17-year old Canadian Pop spoilt idol who was threatened by the people as the news articles mentioned last time. If you can crack down this meaning, you may have known what was in my mind because I cannot reveal all kinds of retarded details about him I had collected from news articles. Well, those details were actually from the news and many people had absorbed them. Well, those musical noobs were also trying to make medical rumors saying that we have some kind of problem for making such kinds of rumors. This is like watching Dragon Wars movie where the victims of the attacks are the only ones that believe the incoming legendary war while being hospitalized. This happens every 5 centuries if you ask me about the story of that movie.

Now, about the IPv6, not all people think that this new protocol is important to learn and use and the fact that some technical noobs are trying to force me to reverb back to IPv4 to learn and use perhaps to prevent some mistakes. You know, I already fulfilled the IPv6 day by getting IPv6 enabled with GogoNet tunnel but they wouldn’t even believe this component like they are trying to threaten us down.

IPv6 for Wordpress

Even Wordpress is finally using IPv6 to be frank but that was the preparation for the IPv6 day. Hmm, just how the heck can we go to IPv6 version of Wordpress then, if we can migrate our blog in Wordpress to use that protocol, that will be a good thing to continue the future of the internet technology. Once again, the tests are coming in next week that almost nobody thinks of this new protocol as if that new protocol isn’t important that they are telling me to use IPv4 again for practices and tests.

Official happening at Wordpress is here: http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2011/06/08/world-ipv6-day/

IPv6 Day is fulfilled!

The title says it all as I’ve been IPv6 enabled with GogoNET Tunnel. Somehow and somewhat, my DIR-615 router also knows and detects various IPv6 addresses. So, the websites I knew were Google, Facebook and Yahoo Japan but these sites in IPv6 mode are not easy to enter the web addresses with. Even with NSLOOKUP, it won’t be that easy to know so I made a bunch of guesses like trial and error. Unfortunately, this lasted for 24 hours starting from when IPv6 day started but Google site in IPv6 is still on-going.

Links about this news:

During the Google Image Search, I stumbled on something funny during the IPv6 day. Some image on whatever was happening on late May had the date changed to June 8th as if the Internet is becoming no more as we know it but the future of the Internet changes with the arrival of IPv6, putting the almost scary ending to the IPv4 itself. That doesn’t scare me about this ending but I doubt that the true ending of IPv4 will happen one day. Talk about the Day of Internet Eschatology where the final days will be around the beginning of June until June 8th or maybe one day when the IPv4 will be depleted completely. When this happens, there will be more technical problems and chaos everywhere that destructive complaints will be launched although the solution already existed in the past until now.

IPv6 Day in June 8th

Looks like Google website told us that the Internet is already running out of addresses but then I already setup the Gogo Client and GogoNet to obtain this IPv6 technology. Hell, I also put that in my external router with IPv6 support but not all devices on my home network are IPv6 supported so what’s the point?

Also, tricking us that today’s the final day of living due to the unknown eschatology day is equal to someone melancholic warning us not to disobey or things like that will happen for sure. Well, there were my lecturers making imagination about this but someone else is honestly warning the main person.

The bottom-line, the Day of Darius Internet Edition will happen one day once all IPv4 addresses have been used.

Got the Xbox 360 in June 2nd

This should be surprising but it may be viewable a lot if we talk about various Cave games. From that time, there was the Microsoft IT event which was known as Microsoft Student TechFest. This took place at the auditorium of the polytechnic and we were briefed the respective decent Microsoft technologies. So we know the new features of Windows Live Wave 4 and the latest version of Microsoft Office. You know, I had used OneNote for probably personal projects that are good instead of crap. Other experiences included Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Movie Maker and Windows Live Writer in which nobody mentioned about Windows Live Writer. For Windows Live Movie Maker, it is not what we want to see like this because it’s completely different than its predecessor or the third-party video editor programs. Hell, you can screw this in favor of a video editor that is capable of rendering the 60FPS video. After all, I have the Nico Nico Douga account for uploading videos nobody does just like in my YouTube account. There were videos of my tricks I performed in video games like Gradius Galaxies and Sonic Heroes. Other glitch I performed unexpectedly was in Gradius IV in which I went through the dead-end in the high speed stage. That dead-end surely has smaller hitboxes between these boxy tiled things and that means they are not connected, leaving the rest of the stage to be connected or merged. Think about modeling two boxes without merging them that there are gaps going on. This happened while I was playing Gradius IV on my PSP. Back to Windows Live Movie Maker, I obviously used that program to post certain remixes to YouTube and Facebook respectively. Lastly, for Windows Live Photo Gallery, I may decide not to use it as it takes up so much resources and long to load up. So Microsoft OneNote is kind of useful for you to take note in schools, work and other kinds of briefings but other Microsoft Office products are underrated. After these introductions, there was some lucky prize winning and I was one of these lucky winners in which I won the Xbox 360.

Unfortunately, there were few flaws that screwed up the event. First is some bloody spoilt brat-ish song that was executed during the 10 second posing part but too bad that the prizes were not that major for answering the questions and doing those special parts as well. Second flaw was the unnecessary 10 second posing part in which you had to feel some musical beat like a dance or something. Also, you had to strike some poses on the stage. Why that song I mentioned was a brat-ish was that it’s because it is nowadays performed by that spoilt musical pop brat from Canada.

A Day Later

Then I had to buy certain games like Dreamcast Collection and Xbox Live Arcade games from the store after looking for games I wanted. It might be because those people had already bought those games or maybe the retailers discarded them as if nobody but me might want them. What I bought for Xbox Live Arcade was the 1600 MS Points card and after getting the trial version of those XBLA games, I used that card to get the full version of G.Rev’s Strania and holy cow, that was really hard.

Conclusion

This prize winning part took damn long like a waste of time but the real time-waster was the 10-second posing part. I guess that we had no choice but to keep on staying on the IT events at all time until we were dismissed. This is probably the screwed up IT event at the end, having to include that song or that 10 second posing part should not have been parts of the events whatsoever. Then there’s Kinect Adventures in which I never touched at all as I’m pretty shy to use that Kinect technology to play with it so I played a bunch of Xbox Live Arcade shmup games to surprise my foreign friend that I have the game console. After all at this rate, I may end up becoming the arcade gamer but I suck ass in fighting game genre. DAMN, what kind of controller was that from the console? Its sucky communication with controls got my ass kicked when I tried out the trial version of KOF 98 UM.
