Personally, I have always thought that dating sims and MMORPGs are extremely cool, and would love to try playing it once in my life. :3

So the other day, along with my friend who was at her own house - we communicated through Skype chat - I searched around for some interesting MMORPGs to try.

Grand Fantasia
Crystal Saga
Eden Eternal

...they all looked so cute, I almost died! (pure exaggeration! XD)

Oh, yes, I play games. :P ...Just saying that since I don't think I've ever mentioned... oh wait, no I have. I mentioned playing a Pokemon DS game once, I remember. Something about me not getting to do anything done since I got sucked into that certain game. :P
...Pokemon games are extremely repetitice and time-consuming after all, you'd have to admit...

My friend and I were going excited over this, but we ran out of time so we decided to do it the next day, since Grand Fantasia isn't browser-based (and neither is Eden Eternal).
I even explained to her that, most probably, I guess, the reason for the download is because there's a lot of data. So that when you play, it wouldn't take years to load.
...and the next day, she asks me, "Hey, the one that needed downloading, can you play with others online?"
I paused. Then I threw her an exasperated glance. "It's an MMORPG."
"Yes..." she replied. "...but can you play with people online?"
I frowned with impatience. "...It's an MMORPG," I repeated. Then I asked, "...do you know what MMORPG stands for?" I could've asked if she knew what an MMORPG was exactly, but that question was a bit too vague.
She shook her head, "Nope."
Then I told her something that I wasn't so sure of, something that I'd only actually ever read once, but I think it's right... ==" > "MMORPG stands for Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game."
And so if you combine the fact that I'd said that "you need to download since there's a lot of data" with "Massive Multiplayer Online", I hope she could come up with her own conclusion.
She looked at me expectantly.
"Yes," I finally said, giving up. I shouldn't have expected her to remember anything I'd told her yesterday, really. I mean, I asked her which one I should try registering with first, and she told me Grand Fantasia, and today she asks me which one I'd downloaded!

>< Like I said in the post before this one, I should totally be used to this already...

Pottormore is Cool, if You Knew... What You're Doing. So, Do You Know What You're Doing?

E-lo~!

I'm sure all of you would have at least heard of Harry Potter, if not like it.
And I'm sure most, if not all, of you know about Pottermore.

I'd describe Pottermore as an interactive online Harry Potter game, almost like a MMORPG (which I really want to try playing at least once, because they're cool...), except maybe not as... complicated, and it's more like a visual novel, where a set of events have already been set out for you.
And the graphics are... well, they look like they're the production of a lot of people's efforts. ^^ Very... well, you have to see for yourself!! :D
Indeed, if you don't have one, go make an account now~!

Some people might get stuck on Chapter 5 of Book 1 on Diagon Alley; you need to zoom in twice (using the up arrow key) then click on that mysterious parchment flying on the ground...
This zoom button is extremely important, yet for some reason I didn't knew about it (?), because somehow I didn't read the instructions at the start (which I discovered on my second way through O.o)... But it's all and good since I'm well into the middle of the first book now, with few difficulties (Like making potions, for starters. Man, it's difficult!! Well, okay, maybe not really. But it takes getting used to, especially if you didn't know what the heck you were supposed to be doing ><)

Before playing Pottormore, if one asked me what house I'd like to be in, I wouldn't know, but I'll probably say Ravenclaw, because Ravenclaw is cool, and it's sort of my style and I sort of like the colours.
However, what house would I be in, is a totally different question. I'd say; any house but Gryffindor. Because I have no bravery, and neither am I reckless or love glory. I am anything but a Gryffindor. My inner personality would befit that of a Slyntherin, however I do like studying, which would put me in Ravenclaw. And I don't exactly do fair play (which is a trait of a Hufflepuff), but I don't do unfair play either (LOL, I wouldn't play at all ><), but I am quite loyal (I think), also a trait of a Hufflepuff...
Anyhow, I got into Slytherin. :3 ...Now I feel sort of evil, which in fact I am, but nevermind...
After you're sorted, the prefect (I think?) gives you a whole load of information about the house you've been sorted into. :3 That was quite interesting too, and I discovered that Merlin was a Slytherin when he was at Hogwarts, and that we "care and look out for each other unlike those Ravenclaws"...
But, nevermind all that, although I sort of want to see what the other houses' messages are. They all seem really interesting, but then if I read them I might have the urge to want to be in that house...
What you are and what you want to be are usually really different for me. :3 (And I usually despise that fact... :/)

I happen to love quizes, especially, or rather, specifically, those "what-type-are-you" quizes. :P
And so far I've faced two in Pottermore; the wand selection and the Sorting. :3
It was quite fun...

Also, if you have a Pottermore account, add me!! It's SpellSpirit2281! :D
(That's actually my second one since I accidentally clicked "buy" one a pet that I didn't want during the Diagon Alley part, and it was too late, so I started a second account instead... ><)

Okash then, I'd better continue playing, since Harry and gang are about to enter the climax of The Philosopher's Stone!!!

Adios~!

I Ended Up Doing What the Enemy Wants, No Surprise

Responding to my own [latest] post, I did end up procrastinating, something that I was totally expecting myself to do...
I didn't have enough will. I really should put my mind to something properly.
...I really should. :/

And so, with that said, don't expect a post for a couple of days as I will try to prevent myself from doing unnecessary things until next week arrives. FYI,
I didn't do anything yesterday since it was my day off and I was not going to ruin it.
I didn't do anything today because I got sucked into a certain Pokemon DS game and it was already time for my coffee break, so I gave up doing anything.
Now I will read manga and finish off this post, then go do the more important tasks. :)
(Then work... then tasks... then sleep... then tasks... then shower, then coffee break... then tasks... then work...  then tasks... then sleep...)

Now that I've made this announcement I won't have to worry about ma' blog readers anymore, although I think I still will. :/
Hmm...
Oh, also, the above notice doesn't include the next post which will be about a certain manhwa. :)

Ja na~
