"One last thing before I quit I never wanted any more than I could fit Into my head I still remember every single word You said and all the shit that somehow came along with it Still theres one thing that comforts me since I was Always caged and now I'm free" - Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters

Foo Fighters is really kewl. I like their songs Monkey Wrench and DOA.

Guess who finished GoW? Haha. Me and my brother played on coop mode on the last few parts of act 4 and the whole act 5. Double the players- double the fun. General RAAM (final boss) was a pain. He's a badass locust with a huge-ass gun. But I ended his life with a Boom~ Headshot using a Longshot Sniper Rifle! I did feel the game was somehow short, but really amazing. It was the greatest game I've played evar. If only our graphics card in our pc has about, 512mb vram or 1gb vram, then I would definitely buy the PC version, which would have an extra act. For me, Halo 3 SUCKS. I used to play Halo: Combat Evolved on our PC and Halo 2 on my Xbox but, heck, it's an overrated piece of crap. I have no idea why the hell people think it's awesome. Personally, I think Gears of War is totally better. The storyline, the characters, the monsters, the weapons- everything is better than Halo.

Help. Needed. Adobe. Dreamweaver. Newbie. I. Am.
I phail in using adobe dreamweaver. I need tutorials!

I wanna have GH3 nao. Kinda hated the reviews, though. "8" for the current-gen consoles and "7.5" for the PS2. Better luck next time, Neversoft. =)

Well, that's all for today.

Somehow, this song is connected to my misery a few days ago. Right, Jio?

Anyways, I have already finished Guitar Hero II's Hard Tour! Wootness! Srsly, my left hand fingers are teh hurt up to now (you'll know what I mean if you play it on a guitar controller) The songs "Carry Me Home" and "Free Bird" are BS. I failed so many times, but then I conquered them at the end (three stars though LOL)

Plus, here's a video of me playing Trogdor (Rhythm guitar on Medium) I like playing the part of Meadley, even if Squeadly pwned him. *sings: BUR-NINATING THE COUNTRYSIDE!*


I'll update this blog whenever I can. I still have an ass-load of projects waiting to be done.

Do you have the wired version of the 360 controller s, but you have kept it in the depths of your closet since you have a new wireless controller for your 360? Well, you can now put it to good use! Use it as your game controller for your PC!

What you need:
A Wired Controller S for Xbox 360
A Windows XP PC
Games! (For what purpose will you use it with no games?)

Setup:
1. Download the installer software HERE.
2. Install the newly downloaded software. Installation may take up to 5 minutes.
3. Plug your Controller S in the USB slot.
4. Ta-da!! It's now ready to use!

Testing:
Now that my Controller S is functional in the PC, let's test it and see if it really works.
MUGEN
I have tried it and it works fine. But, I could not get the arrow keys to work, so yes, you are stuck with the analog stick. Also, I could not find a way on how to make the "Back" button work, so you are still gonna' use the Esc button on your keyboard. But everything is fine on the main gameplay.
Quake III: Arena
BS. It works but in a real crappy way. You see, the game does not detect the right and left movements of the right analog stick. So aiming for the enemy might give you major headaches. What I did for the config was the left stick was used for walking PLUS aiming left and right as the right stick was only used to aim up and down. Could you imagine how hard that is?! If you want an alternative solution, you could set the ABXY buttons for aiming, but it just doesn't feel right. Then, I used the left trigger to shoot, just the way how shooting games on the xbox work.

I wanna try other shooting games like CS or Red Faction to see if it has the same Quake problem, but that has to go later.

Conclusion:
The controller S works fine for games like MUGEN and probably other games like Prince of Persia, Need For Speed or GTA.. I'll update the guide later on and see if it the right stick really works or not on shooting games.

Note: The rumble feature does not seem to work.

To anybody who owns a 360/controller s, please try and test it!

Yay for new blog header! The theme of the header is somehow dark and chaotic. Melancholic, just the way you like it. It's basic Photoshop, people! Thanks to the ever-amazing Sparkle brushes.

Good news: I'm in for the Spelling contest - school level, which means I'll be competing against those junior and senior pains in the neck. The classroom level was easy - I landed in 1st. The year level was a little hard - I landed in 1st, together with a fellow spelling expert WHO WON THE COMPETITION LAST YEAR as a freshman. Damn. Maybe tomorrow will be the day the competition will be held.

I AM craving to record another GH vid. (lol) And these songs are my choices:
1. Dead! - MCR (Medium - I wanna FC it again!)
2. Sweet Child O' Mine - GNR (Hard)
3. Monkey Wrench - Foo Fighters (Hard - A real pain in my right hand..)
4. Hangar 18 - Megadeth (Medium)
5. Six - All That Remains (Medium - As requested by Random lmao)
6. Jordan - Buckethead (Medium - Going for FC!)
7. Psychobilly Freakout - RHH (Medium - This time, I'm gonna land the usage of Star Power right)
8. Woman - Wolfmother (Hard - Real fun.)

So.. This will be the end of my entry today. A pleasant day to you, dear reader.

It's me playing GH2 - Psychobilly Freakout by Reverend Horton Heat on Medium using an xplorer guitar controller. Video quality is okay, I used our digicam but I didn't use our tripod so it's a bit shaky. I screwed up like, 5 or 6 times. My xplorer controller was noisy too, making all those 'clank, clank' sounds. Also, you can see my shadow at the vid (lol) and you can see me removing my guitar controller at the end of the vid. XD

I'm nothing like Ben (you're not familiar with Ben? See the user "beberle2" at youtube) but I will train my fingers to be blazing fast and accurate.

XD

THATCHED-ROOF COTTAGEEEEEEEEEEES!
Like zomg, trogdor is the win.

Anyways, this entry is about.. our FIELD TRIP! *dun-dun-dun-daa!*

More than a week ago, our field trip (TO SUBIC!) happened. More than half of the class joined, so it was awesome. And oh, I received a new nickname from my friends. "Gadget Boy". WTF? It's because I brought my stuff like PSP, iPod and my cellphone.

So, our bus left our school at around 6:30 AM. Off to Subic we go. It was pretty cold inside our bus. And it was also pretty crowded, since there are 2 sections in each bus and we have to share our bus with first year students. Upon entering NLEX, we started praying the rosary. After praying, it's a freakin' parteh! Srsly, PARTY. My classmates brought balloons and stuff (LOL) and they had music all over the bus through their loud mouths. Some were eating junk food while some are just listening to their mp3 players. And oh, some of my retarded, perverted classmates were watching you-know-what videos on their cellphones. On the other side, me and my friend were just chatting. Good times.

Around 7:45 AM

We now bumped to our 1st stopover- A place in Pampanga with local restaurants, a convenient store and restrooms. And good Lord, there was a one peso payment for the usage of the restroom.

Then, we returned to our bus and continued the journey. We were then listening to FOB in my iPod (my friend and I were both hardcore FOB fans) We were also playing with my PSP.. What game? BLEACH! After a long trip, we have entered Subic Bay. Our faces were filled with excitement.

Around 9:00 AM

So, where do we go now? TO OCEAN ADVENTURE! WEEE! (I've been to OA before, so it's not much of a thrill. Still, I'm excited!) So, we are inside OA. The different sections were divided into different groups. Our section, a third year section and a first year section were Group 5. Now, we headed into the.. err.. mini-zoo or something (I forgot the name XD) There were many animals which are real cool, like the bald eagle, the monkeys or that animal whose poop turns to coffee (forgot the name too) After that animal-filled place, the souvenir shop. I bought keychains and the little wooden clown doll (if you pull the string under that doll, it raises its limbs. kinda cute, but hey, don't get me wrong. it's not ghey.) Immediately, we were called because we were gonna watch the Sea Lion show! WEEE! These cute, chubby monsters can be quite adorable. The only problem is their breath. YECH. So, the two sea lions performed, they danced, they did a single handstand, they wiggled their tails. It was very entertaining. They even smiled! (which was like zomg! IT SMILED! IT SMIIILLLED!) After the show, we were headed to the lil' aquarium. The fishes are absolutely amazing. I've seen one that looks like Nemo, one that looks like a monster (really.. an ugly fish was there!), and even some deadly stingrays. From there, we now went to the classroom-like place where the guide discussed about the animals like whales and dolphins. It was kinda boring but it's fun to know more about these animals. And shortly after that, we went to our buses to say farewell to Ocean Adventure.

Around 12:30 PM

But no, we are not ready to go home yet. Heck, we didn't even have our lunch! We are now off to Camayan Beach Resort which seems to be only a a few dozens of meters away from OA. So, we carried our stuff to the beach. And we ended up in the last few cottages, which seems to be at the end of the beach. Then, we would grab our lunch from the center of the resort then we would go back to our cottages so it is really a tiring walk going back-and-forth. After chow, we now went to the shore to.. SWIM. (Well, of course, what would you do in a beach?) Me and my friends enjoyed swimming. The waves range from moderate to strong! Really, the waves blasts us away like Trogdor! But, wtf, the water has seaweeds. Disgusting, but we loved throwing it around to our other friends. (An old friend of mine was even said to throw a pantyliner around! Mah Gawd!) After some time, we sorta' got tired and just sat near the water. Waiting for a huge wave to come. We eventually ended up to covering each other in sand. It was fun! (My other friend did not swim. Instead, he played burnout and wwe the whole time on my psp)

Around 3:00 PM

The lifeguard and some teachers went shouting 'Ahon na!' meaning that we should get the heck out of the water and start taking showers.. And as expected, the [outdoor] showers were filled with tons of people! Grabe, siksikan. Do you know what the teachers did? They grabbed a water hose then water'd the students who can't get in the shower! Kinda fun. After taking a shower and changing clothes (I WORE A DX T-SHIRT! W00T!) we headed to the bus. Most of us were exhausted.

Around 4:00 PM

We left the resort and headed to another place. Duty-free a.k.a. Subic Freeport Exchange. We went down the bus and shopped for goodies! I only bought chocolates. DARK chocolates. We stayed there in Duty-free for about an hour.. The others went in a shopping frenzy.

Around 5:00 PM

Ah, finally. Time to go home. The batteries on my gadgets are running low. We now had some quiet. NOT. Unbelievably, my classmates are still as noisy as ever, like nothing happened. But I don't care. I was noisy too! We just chatted and rested. My other classmates ate watermelon seeds (Butong pakwan) and littered at the bus. Heck, they even played chicosci songs and I wanted to shoot the speakers with a Hammer of Dawn or something. Emo sucks.

Around 8:00 PM

We arrived near the campus and then went home.

The next day..

There were 20 of my classmates absent in the morning. Then 8 of them arrived at lunchtime. Oh well.

THE END

P.S. WILL POST PICS SOON!
