Ok, this post is not going to be a movie/game review. Just now I came across this video that is so true, so touching, I tears in my heart because it touches to the deepest depth. It is a video telling what ultraman had taught us through the tv series. A lot of people might still think that ultraman is childish or it is violent, but they don't know the message that was conveyed to the audience. I notice that as people grow up, they lose faith in what they believe to be true when they are still a child. Soon, they have doubt in them and sometime even denied them. Ultraman series had been going on for 40+ years, yet the message conveyed to us was how to be a better person. Some watched it might get the message and follow the message, but some might not. About this video, it is telling us what each ultraman had taught us. Sorry it is in chinese, so I will put the translation here.
http://www.ultramanclub.com/2008-1/200816195025.htm
Here is the translation of each message conveyed to us.
Ultraman: He taught us the importance and the meaning of life.
Being the first ultraman that came to earth as a defender, he knew that life is so fragile, yet so precious. Because we live, we have dreams, love, friends and future. Although life can be shattered so easily, but the experiences of all those mentioned above was nevertheless, priceless. Don't give up life, life is very precious because they are things that cannot be gained without being alive.
Ultraseven: He taught us to treasure the un-replacesible things, love and friend.Love and friends, 2 things that is VERY important in a person's life. While ultraseven is on earth, there is no one to help him. Everytime he fights the enemy, he fights them alone. But because the friendships and love from the friends on earth, he continues to protect them. Friendships and love is always the supporting pillar for each one of us, without them, we can collapse anytime there is a storm in our life.
Ultraman Jack: He taught us the true meaning of love.
Brotherly love, parents love, life partner love, etc. There are tons of love in the world, but sometime we take for granted of it or we don't really know the meaning of love. What is love? When our parents nag at us, the words sometime might be harsh, but there is always love deep down in their words. There is a famous qoute in the series that is still echoing in the series and our life, the ultra 5 oath. Not going to say out the whole thing, but the oath through the surface, we won't get the true meaning, only if we look into it, we know that this is the true meaning of love.
Ultraman Ace: He taught us how to trust other people
This is so far the most important lesson we should learnt and even I'm still learning it, trust. Every relationship begin with trust and relationships were able to continue because there is trust. People often don't believe each other, they afraid that that other person might hurt them. This is particularly obvious in Singapore, you can practically see it everywhere, even my mother told me not to trust other people than yourself. See, without trust, there will always be conflicts and wars. Is it so hard to trust other people? So what if you trust the other person and you yourself got hurt? At least you make effort to start/continue a relationship, that person will be at fault because he/she abuse that trust. Even though you were hurt because trusting other people, never give up in trusting people. A little trust can change the world and make the world without stranger, that is what I strongly believe.
Ultraman Taro: He taught us how to independent
Ultraman taro is the youngest among the ultra brothers, thus he depend a lot on his elder brothers. Again, this is especially obvious in singapore. People always depend on the others to do things and help them. They never think of doing the things themselves before seeking for help. Although friends are there for us, but we have to be independent in our lives.
Ultraman Leo: He taught us how to be a person with strong-will.
Ultraman leo, being the only ultraman not from M78 on earth. He was on earth because his home planet was destroyed, thus he vowed to protect earth because it is a second home planet to him. When he is fighting and if he lost, he never give up. He will always train and return with solution. Without a strong will, you tend to give up easily and then just forget about it. To get true success in life, first you must have strong will.
Ultraman 80: He taught us to treasure the unforgetable memories.
No matter what memories we had, bad or good, we should treasure it. We can always take it out from our mind and look at it, we will remember all the sweet and sour of our life. Even it is a bad memories, we can use it as lesson and guide for our life. Just treasure the memories.
Ultraman mebius: you will not fight alone.
This so far another best lesson I've learnt, friends are always with us, with you. Even I got my up and down in life, in the past, I'm always alone when I got my up and down. Not now, I got my buddies, they are always with me to go through all those. Another good quote, "the heart of believing can change impossible to possible" from ultraman mebius. Believe in yourself, your friends, your lover or whoever you can think of, because believing makes impossbile possible. You will not be fighting alone. Even when you fight at the areana, your supporters will be at your back, believing in you, so you must believe in yourself to make it.
This is the message that was conveyed to us by ultraman. Ultraman is not only for entertainment, but also education.

movie review again
Now, I had to admit that I watched a lot of movies recently. As I said before, movies and games are meant to be entertaining, so if it is a bad game/movie, you will swear. Yeah, this post is going to be another movie reviews. As some of you people who knows me, you know that I don't like horror movies. It is because of the weak storyplot, suck shit ending and totally not-scary scenes. But hey, this horror movie that I just watched wasn't that kind of horror movies that I don't like.
Yes, this is "rule #01". From the producer or director of the maid. Talk about "the maid", I had one simple complain of that movie. Why doesn't the dead maid the main ghost that appears in the movie? Instead, make way for a random maid got shadowed by the shadow of the coffin, then she just ran like 5km just to jump off a building to die. I mean, what the hell? There are a lot of high rise buidling in singapore, so why does she has to run so fucking far, just to commit suicide? That's bullshit.
The movie starts off by seeing a low ranked police giving fine to a driver who didn't tie safety belt. Then he checked the back of the car and discovered a dead girl body, suddenly the drive brokes out with a gun and shoot all limbs with a bullet, before he shoot at the head, the police and the the driver saw the back of the car rises and the girl sits up. The police then shoots the driver in the head and faints.
After he woke up and return to his post, the superior put him to a new department. It is miscellaneous affairs department, basically this department handle shits like ghostly stuff. This department is sad, only 3 staff, the police(let's call him A), his superior(let's call him B) and a adminstration staff.
So what this department do, you can never imagine police do all these shit. The department, handle ghost stuff, if a human or more people were possessed, they shoot them in the head. In the movie, it explains that once the ghost possessed someone, just a simple touch can possess another person and then control the body. What happened to the body previously, do they return to normal? No, their souls were shattered and left only an empty shell. Everything was done in secret, so no one ever saw a police going around shooting the possessed.
At the end of the movie, A got possessed by the driver he shoot at the beginning of the movie, through many plans from the driver's ghost. At the end, A shot B in the head and now he got the whole department under his control.
Ok, enough of the summarising. This movie is not bad for a horror movie, although the scary parts suck quite hard, because it is the worst scaring scenes I ever seen in my life. Most of the ghosts are just random wondering ghosts you can see on the streets, provided if you can see ghosts.
The story, yes, the story is pretty good for horror movie. There is actually a plot, a fucking plot, explaining why the ghost to do stuff to the living. Yet, it is very boring at the beginning of the movie, just like in the Jaw movie, the early part got too many dialouge, so many that I don't even want to count them. After A met his first ghost encounter as a police in that department, that is where the plot starts to brings up the hype of the audiences. Although having a decent plot, the ending sucks. I bet most of my friends don't understand the ending including me, until I analyse the whole movie after I got home and then tell them. Seriously, I have to get into the detail of the movie, analyse the plot and then come out of the explanation how the ending goes. Well, once you understand the ending, it's actually not that bad of an ending.
Actors....sigh*. I had only one complain of this thing, why the hell fiona xie got so little scenes in the movie? Why is there so fucking little scene she's in there? On the poster and the credit, you'll see "starring blahblahblah, fiona xie". Starring fiona xie? So why she appear so much lesser than other characters which are starring them too?
Another thing I find weird is the reason of why the police want to kill the possessesd? I mean, since the police dealing with ghost, that means the govt also admit the existence of paranormal phantasm. Sure that there is a way of getting ghost out of the body than killing them, may be they can co-operate with religion groups to deal with these cases. Another thing that I find it familiar of the police going around, shooting the possessed, it reminds me something from the past. Well, those who watch a lot of older movies and born around or before my time, you know what movie I'm talking about. Yes, ghostbusters...
A group of people running around the city, blasting ghost and then catch them. So the ghostbusters can invent gadgets to catch ghost, why not the government or the police? Talking about ghostbusters, the next post will be review on ghostbusters.
Overall, this movie is not bad, it's worth to watch it in cinema.

movie review
ok, before you people read this review, I want you people to take note of something. All these are just my opinion as an audience, other's may differ from me. Another this is that this review will have a lot of vulgarity, because I have no tolerance for bad movies and games. Ok, so I went to watch this movie with a buddy and friend. At first want to watch other show, but in the end chose this, since no one watched before. It is a new basketball movie, called slam. Yeah, slam a piece of shit onto the fucking face of the audience.
First thing I want to complain is the theme of the movie. Making a sport movie and just featuring sports alone, is the worst concept ever can be thought of for a movie. When you see a sport movie, it sure that it will suck hard because it is a mother load of shit, ready to be dumped on your head.
The story starts with a school kid, don't know what is the level, since it is such a piece of shit. Why? Because it didn't explain what level of education they are at, not even the age of the characters were mentioned. I guessed that they are just secondary school, judging from the face. The school kid named mouth plays basketball with a friend, monkey and monkey's cousin, jason....wait, mouth? monkey? Who in the world a parents would give that kind of shit name to their own son? Mouth? Monke? If that were the names given to them, why not name their son with the name like "shit", "fucker", "asshole"?
So when they play basketball in the school, the seniors came in and challenged them. Mouth and the company lost, then got into a fight with them. Mouth was actually training hard to be like his iodl, michael jordan. I think it's michael jordan, don't know much about basketball players. So they lost and humiliated, mouth was depress of being called "not suitable for basketball" by the seniors. What an asshole.
Mouth was living with the father, don't know where the hell the mother went. Can be dead or just fucking divorced for all I care. They took part a tournament held by adidas, because the seniors were taking part too, just to revenge. Before the tournament starts, a lot of stuff happened and mouth was locked by his father at home to study. He got no choice but to sneak out of the house to go for training.
So in the end, mouth and company finally to the final and lost.
Ok, here comes the complains. Why in the holy mother of fuck does this have to be made? This movie sucks so hard that it fucks, it is so fucking sucks that it don't deserve the timeslot in the cinema. Let's take a look at the description on gv.com.sg and the review from other place:
SLAM is set in the fast-paced, action-packed world of street basketball, in the rapidly modernizing city of Beijing, host of the 2008 Olympics. This story covers the strong universal themes of self-discovery, self-empowerment and the truth of never ever giving up. Featuring an all original soundtrack by platinum breaking Taiwan Hip Hop group Machi, and starring in his film acting debut Andrew Chou AKA: Machi Di Di.
"SLAM is undeniably one of the best sports movies made this year."
- MTV Asia Movie Review
"Exhilarating...action packed! Not to be missed."
- NBA China
Fast pace? Oh, you mean the shaking of the camera? It shake so hard that I can barely see what's happening on the scene. Talk about the camera, the camera work sure sucks. As a sport movie, the main thing is the sport itself. So in the case, it is the basketball. But why the basketball was offscreen so many times? I can't see the ball when it was shot or dunk.
Action pack? It should say, shit pack. Let's compare with another basketball movie, kung fu dunk. Yes, the one by Jay chou. In Kung fu dunk, the music and camera works very well with each other, it brings up the hype from the audience. Compare to slam, which don't even bring up 1% of hype from the audience. The music is dull, adding with the shitty camera works, it became a shitload of fuck, it's like a cruel joke to the audience.
Talking about audience, you guess how many people are in the cinema? 7... yes, it is fucking 7 and I'm not making this up. Despite it was just being broadcast, but before we went to watch it, there a few days interval only. So I supposed not many people watch it and I presume there will have a lot of people. Yet, only 7 audiences in the cinema including the 3 of us. Shit the fuck...
Another thing sucks is the name of the characters. The main 4 characters are called, mouth, monkey, jason and xiao xiao(roughly translated as small small). Like I said above, who the fuck would give such a bad name to their child. The name is so fucking weird that I don't even want to think of it.
One worst thing and the most important thing in movies, editing. The movie was VERY FUCKING poorly edited. Scenes when has to be cut were not cut, yet when it was not supposed to cut, it was being cut off. For example a scene in the movie, the father discover how bad the academic results of mouth was, he threw to mouth and ask him to pick it up and read. Guess what, the short one sec where mouth bent and pick up the result slip were cut. That is one of the part where it was not supposed to cut, it was being cut off. It's like the entire movie was poorly edited. Guess what? It is the fucking director do the cutting! So the director did such a bad job? He better not let me saw him on the streets, or he will fuck himself, forced by me.
One good thing about the movie and I mean only ONE good thing in the movie is that xiao xiao is a pretty girl, it steal the spotlight of the show.
This movie is so bad, that it is not worth to even mention the name. It shits for the birds. Yeah, for those who love basketball, it right up your alley...more like up your ass. Don't watch this movie, this one sucks ass.

Now I am very frustrated
seriously, just now we are having sparring in the training, guess what? I can't spar, reason is that there is no one that can spar with me. I was like "come on, there is a junior black belt over there and I can spar with him or any one of the senior black belt is ok, as if I never spar with a black belt before." In actual fact, almost everytime I spar, I spar with the black belt, so fuck it, I got no sparring. Damn, how I wanted a sparring and finally a sparring session, then now I can't spar, damn it.
Ok, friends. I'm going to make a film this friday with the help of my bro, after it's done, I will put it up and show you guys.

2 movie reviews
Today and yesterday, I watched 2 movies, but one on the DVD and one at the cinema, now I'm going to review them.
First one will be D-wars, which is also called dragon wars. This movie was not shown in singapore, I just happened to find it in a shop and heard from a friend, so I bought it and watch it at home. Wow, holy shit, the graphic is good.
The story is about a legend. Every 500 years, an imoogi(serpent) which do lots of good deeds will be given the yuu-yi-joo(a pearl with magic), this pearl will allow them to turn into dragons and rise to heavan. 500 years ago, 1507, the deity afraid of the pearl get into the evil imoogi, thus they hide it into a girl in korea, then sent a warrior along his master to protect the girl. The pearl will get it's form at the age of 20, then the girl will give up her life to bring out the pearl for the imoogi. Unfortunately, the warrior and the girl fall in love with each other, while the evil imoogi came for the pearl, bringing it's army and destroyed the city. The warrior decide to bring the girl and escape, it defies their destiny. But the evil imoogi caught up with them, both of them commited suicide and the imoogi lost the pearl. In order to get the pearl, he has to wait for another 500 years. 500 years later, in LA. The warrior was reborned as a reporter and the girl reborned as a...well, I don't know, just a normal girl. The evil imoogi find it's chance and start chasing the girl and the reporter while he destroys anything in it's path, cars, buildings, everything. But the FBI found of about this legend and sent troops for the girl too(well, to kill her to prevent moe destruction.), the evil imoogi 's army kept them very busy because the human army can't win the serpent's army. To skip a lot, in the end the evil imoogi was killed because the good imoogi(which lost his chance to become a dragon 500 years ago), turned into a dragon(read above to find out the reason) and the story ends.
Well, summary for the plot, hope not too many spoilers. The graphic for the monsters and dragons are pretty good. Quite realistic, but somehow when it was a close up to the monster, the imoogi is pretty stand out, which means they don't know how to merge CG with real thing in a scene, got to work on it.
The movie is pretty good overall, but there are things that sucks. The scene where the army fights, well, the imoogi's army armed with armour, sword/axe/spear and a shield, but there are not blood nor wounds when it cuts the enemy. Same goes to the scene in 1507. The story is pretty lacking in this movie, everything was focused too much on the imoogi and it's army. It didn't explain how did the reporter and the girl fall in love? I mean, come on, who can fall in love while there is a horde of monster army coming after you and a huge serpent, that is big enough to swallow a whale? Even if it is possible, why the girl said something like "I will love you for all eternaty(sp)? It is not strong love I guess, the time is so short to develop such a strong love. In the US, the critic of this movie wasn't too good because of the storyplot, I agree.
Ok, the second movie, which I just watched it few hours ago. It is sky of love, I heard moved many people in Japan to tears. It was based on a cell-phone novel(very common in Japan). It is sad enough for me to go watch a love movie alone...
This summary will contain HUGE spoiler, so skip forward to the review if you don't want spoiler.
The movie start when a girl, mika, lost her cell-phone and found it in the library, the girl is surprised that all the messages and data were deleted, then a guy called her. Both of them started chatting all day long through the phone, both of them seems happy chatting with each other and this continues for the entire summer vacation. At the first day of the new semester, the guy, hiro, finally met her. At first mika though hiro is a thug because of his white hair. But soon she found out that he is actually pure in heart, both also found that they are in love with each other and then they were both a couple. But becoming an item attracts the jealousy from the ex-girlfriend of hiro, saki. Saki did something to mika and hiro promised that he will protect her forever. Well, revenge aren't just like that, saki did more sabotage on mika, but it was put to a stop by hiro...for a while. At one day, mika found out that she was pregnant, it was hiro's. She asked him out to a cafe a talk things out, hiro ran out right after hearing the news. A while later, he returned with baby products, he promised that he will take care of the baby and give happiness to mika and their child. Both of them convince hiro's parents, but some trouble with mika's parents. He even went to dye his hair black and cut it short, sincere huh? Saki's revenge was not over yet, she do rough things on mika, which ends up mika's miscarriage(sp). Both hiro and mika was heart broken, they promised each othe to return to the spot where they met face to face for the first time, to pray for their dead child. 2nd year of high school(JC in singapore), Hiro stop turning up to class and reply to mika's messages. Mika finally went to his house with her friend to attend a party at hiro's home...room exactly. Mika found out that hiro is actually dating other girl and then they broke off. They became like stranger even when they crossed path in school, well, at least hiro did that. Every year christmas eve, mika went to pray for her child, found out that there are offering(baby glove) and a snow man(something like a tomb-stone for their child), it seems that hiro did come. Finally mika graduated from high school and attend an university, she was dating other guy too, but she still visit her child every year. She found out that hiro DID come visiting their child, they crossed path once again, but this time hiro seems not very well. Mika knew that she still love hiro, but she cannot forget the guy she is dating currently. She knew that even if she goes with hiro, nothing going to change. The following year, the guy finally proposed to mika before mika visit her child and mika agreed. At her child "grave", she saw a man, but not hiro, it's his good friend. The friend said out all the truth, hiro broke up with her 4 years ago because he was dignosed(sp) that he got cancer. Hiro is fighting with cancer and waiting for mika, he never forget her, because he is still wearing the couple ring. The guy asked her to go back to hiro, because they are still loving each other a lot. Mika went back and spent the rest of the time with hiro until hiro finally passed away.
Whew, like typing out the whole story sia. But this movie is great, although it is sad for me to watch it alone, this movie should be watched with couple. Ok, the story is very good, everything is in detailed, no confusion. The actors are pretty good too, they brought out the feeling well. This movie is indeed touching, even a cold blooded person like me tears, the movie is so saddening, touching and loving. The only thing I want to complain is nothing to do with the movie, why in the world's name I watch this movie alone and not with a girlfriend?
First one will be D-wars, which is also called dragon wars. This movie was not shown in singapore, I just happened to find it in a shop and heard from a friend, so I bought it and watch it at home. Wow, holy shit, the graphic is good.
The story is about a legend. Every 500 years, an imoogi(serpent) which do lots of good deeds will be given the yuu-yi-joo(a pearl with magic), this pearl will allow them to turn into dragons and rise to heavan. 500 years ago, 1507, the deity afraid of the pearl get into the evil imoogi, thus they hide it into a girl in korea, then sent a warrior along his master to protect the girl. The pearl will get it's form at the age of 20, then the girl will give up her life to bring out the pearl for the imoogi. Unfortunately, the warrior and the girl fall in love with each other, while the evil imoogi came for the pearl, bringing it's army and destroyed the city. The warrior decide to bring the girl and escape, it defies their destiny. But the evil imoogi caught up with them, both of them commited suicide and the imoogi lost the pearl. In order to get the pearl, he has to wait for another 500 years. 500 years later, in LA. The warrior was reborned as a reporter and the girl reborned as a...well, I don't know, just a normal girl. The evil imoogi find it's chance and start chasing the girl and the reporter while he destroys anything in it's path, cars, buildings, everything. But the FBI found of about this legend and sent troops for the girl too(well, to kill her to prevent moe destruction.), the evil imoogi 's army kept them very busy because the human army can't win the serpent's army. To skip a lot, in the end the evil imoogi was killed because the good imoogi(which lost his chance to become a dragon 500 years ago), turned into a dragon(read above to find out the reason) and the story ends.
Well, summary for the plot, hope not too many spoilers. The graphic for the monsters and dragons are pretty good. Quite realistic, but somehow when it was a close up to the monster, the imoogi is pretty stand out, which means they don't know how to merge CG with real thing in a scene, got to work on it.
The movie is pretty good overall, but there are things that sucks. The scene where the army fights, well, the imoogi's army armed with armour, sword/axe/spear and a shield, but there are not blood nor wounds when it cuts the enemy. Same goes to the scene in 1507. The story is pretty lacking in this movie, everything was focused too much on the imoogi and it's army. It didn't explain how did the reporter and the girl fall in love? I mean, come on, who can fall in love while there is a horde of monster army coming after you and a huge serpent, that is big enough to swallow a whale? Even if it is possible, why the girl said something like "I will love you for all eternaty(sp)? It is not strong love I guess, the time is so short to develop such a strong love. In the US, the critic of this movie wasn't too good because of the storyplot, I agree.
Ok, the second movie, which I just watched it few hours ago. It is sky of love, I heard moved many people in Japan to tears. It was based on a cell-phone novel(very common in Japan). It is sad enough for me to go watch a love movie alone...
This summary will contain HUGE spoiler, so skip forward to the review if you don't want spoiler.
The movie start when a girl, mika, lost her cell-phone and found it in the library, the girl is surprised that all the messages and data were deleted, then a guy called her. Both of them started chatting all day long through the phone, both of them seems happy chatting with each other and this continues for the entire summer vacation. At the first day of the new semester, the guy, hiro, finally met her. At first mika though hiro is a thug because of his white hair. But soon she found out that he is actually pure in heart, both also found that they are in love with each other and then they were both a couple. But becoming an item attracts the jealousy from the ex-girlfriend of hiro, saki. Saki did something to mika and hiro promised that he will protect her forever. Well, revenge aren't just like that, saki did more sabotage on mika, but it was put to a stop by hiro...for a while. At one day, mika found out that she was pregnant, it was hiro's. She asked him out to a cafe a talk things out, hiro ran out right after hearing the news. A while later, he returned with baby products, he promised that he will take care of the baby and give happiness to mika and their child. Both of them convince hiro's parents, but some trouble with mika's parents. He even went to dye his hair black and cut it short, sincere huh? Saki's revenge was not over yet, she do rough things on mika, which ends up mika's miscarriage(sp). Both hiro and mika was heart broken, they promised each othe to return to the spot where they met face to face for the first time, to pray for their dead child. 2nd year of high school(JC in singapore), Hiro stop turning up to class and reply to mika's messages. Mika finally went to his house with her friend to attend a party at hiro's home...room exactly. Mika found out that hiro is actually dating other girl and then they broke off. They became like stranger even when they crossed path in school, well, at least hiro did that. Every year christmas eve, mika went to pray for her child, found out that there are offering(baby glove) and a snow man(something like a tomb-stone for their child), it seems that hiro did come. Finally mika graduated from high school and attend an university, she was dating other guy too, but she still visit her child every year.

Voice out...
Ok, there will be a serious amount of vulgar words going to be in this post. But I need to voice out some stuff or I will drown by it, so forgive me.
First thing, which is also one of the current issue I'm going to rant about it, holiday.
Why in the holy mother of fuck does this holiday need to be so god damn fucking long? I understand that school give holiday to allow student to rest, but RP is a school simulating working condition, SINCE WHICH WORKING PLACE GIVES SUCH A GOD DAMN LONG HOLIDAY? I know it is still a school, but compare to other poly, they got one month. One month is more than enough for holiday, we don't need a shitty 2 months holiday, that will drive me fucking nuts. Now I am boring like shit stain on some boring book, no one gives a shit on my lif, it is fucking boring. I know I did say I will train during the holiday, but I can't do it 24 hour everyday in the entire holiday! If I can do that, I must have shit in my brain or I'm dead. In short, long fucking holiday should be ban, just one month is enough, one fucking month.
Second thing, lust.
Ok, not lust for anything, at least not love for now. I now desire sparring more than anything. Hey, sparring is needed in grading, so why is there so little sparring in training? What will happen if we don't have much experience of sparring when grading, we're fucked. In the name of everything in all dimension and time, more sparring.
Last one, games.
Ok, not a game review yet, but just some rant about shitty games that comes around in my collection. Why is the world is there so many shitty games fucking up on my consoles and time? Games are there to entertain us, so why is it so shitty? I rather have shit stain on my face than playing shitty games. But there is no choice, even with the usage of internet, you can only experience how shitty something is by playing it yourself. Like in my previous post in my xanga blog, you know some of the shitty games that shouldn't exist at all. In fact, there isn't any reason for that game to exist. It is just going to fuck up your time and your console, so why do you need a piece of shit fucking up your time. Play good games, not some shitty one. Make good games and not some horrifying shitty diarea shitty game.
Whew, I am much better after voicing out. Next post will be normal again.
