Song of the day: Paper planes, by M.I.A.
We had our I.T. test today*. It was an hour-and-half exam. I came out 10 minutes after they gave us our sheets. Don't even wanna try.
The bank application thing for next year's hostel got rejected. Will hafta take it on Monday now.
All I wanna do is [bang-bang-bang-bang] and a [click-ching] and take your money.
She rules, man!!
Cya.

Elaboration.

I posted the last un just a couple minutes back. Don't trust what blogger says. Its called exploiting your resources wisely. I put the time on just to show when I actually wrote the post. Couldn't upload it cuz our WiFi server was shut down.
For a while. It came back on in the afternoon, but I was too busy hugging everyone back to the hostel.
Had Differential math yesterday. And Programming today. Tests, I mean. As one idiot I know likes to put it, I got 'royally screwed.'
Like I care. Still.
Hence, song of the day: Gangsta's Paradise, by Coolio.
Old school totally rocks!
And just to leave you hanging, I met Charu yesterday, after months, probably...

Slept at 8.00am today. Watched South Park thru the night.
Woke up at 12.18pm (exact). Abishek and Aditya were at the door. Been a long time since all three of us were at the same place same time. Did a lil talk about random stuff. Decided to eat out in the evening. In the afternoon. Decided, in the afternoon, to eat out in the evening. Power-cut then. Back on in 5 minutes, sans the routers functioning. Implies no internet for a day.
...
[Deep breath, count backwards]...
...
Played my first DOTA game in a while. Luna Moonfang, duh. Team1: Easy et moi. Team2: Medium et Insane. Hmmm...
Saw TMNT. Again. For the 54th time, I guess.
Song of the day: Viva la vida, by Coldplay. Friggin awesome!!
Ended up at Bihari-dhabafor dinner. The guys next table were Ramji, Blizzard, Bulbotrix, and the likes. Don't ask me how I found that out. It's an ancient technique, a cross between eavesdropping and overhearing. And I actually happened to hear them mention the word 'fawn' quite a few times. Guess I'm doing my clan good with the rest of the team drinking and making merry a million miles away.
Make that kilometres. I prefer metric.
Speaking of which, we guys (finally!!) had NFS wlan bouts. Plural. I, fotunately, haven't lost all my NFS skills, so I still am rightfully worthy of "that" title that still is (officially) mine.
To cut another long story short, I kicked ass in all the races. Frig censorship. I'm here to stay.
There was one race that went really cool. Vishal sideswiped me, and with our "fast" wifi speeds, there was "a lot" I could do to avoid crashing into a tree in front of me. Guys ran ahead. I somehow caught up. Somehow. By the last quarter, I was a few hundred metres from the lead. I just took the side lane, pushed the NOS button, and finished the race at almost exactly the same time as Siva did.
He jumped from his chair and started yelling at me. Guy wants to show off when he's defeated the "undefeatable." And I'm not bragging :P
A few seconds later, I see that he's actually pissed.
Cuz I managed to take the lead by a milli-second. HA! I didn't even know I'd won, and both Avneeth et moi thought he was yelling for a whole different reason.
I'm kinda tired now. Its 12.30am. Early compared to my usual sleeping time.
Might watch a movie though.
And yeah, YUPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Slept early yesterday. Woke up at 2pm, though. Thats more than 12 hours of 40 winks, almost 13.
Had plans to go buy my course text-books (some of them, atleast), dump my dirty at the laundry, and get a few dvds on the way back. Nuthin happened.
Played CS. Blizzard was there. Ramji was there.
That reminds me... was playing CS last night and Rusher was there. Ramji, Blizzard, unknown-3rd-guy, and me were CTs, and 5 guys on T (including Rusher). We did good teamwork. And that's a firt-time for me as CT. Kept raping them again and again. Badly. Funny thing was, all of Rusher's deaths were taken by me, the noobiest on the server. My guys (CTs) were actually egging me on. They kept saying stuff like, 'Rusher, why playin like a noob?', and 'humiliation!!'(heh), and stuff. So I bounced along.
Innocent :)
Rusher had the highest score, though. The few times Rusher did get me, I shot off stuff like, 'phone number flashed, got shot.' His name looks like a phone number, heh. Summin like '1624699', or summin like that.
Harsh finally came online today. I mean at the same time I went online. Amitav called up. He talked. And he's the one that says, '@$$fu%!inhole dat was 33 min 47 sec!' I never told him to spend his fone-buck this way. And he actually wasted an extra buck by sending me that message.
And he did not censor his message. That's me. "In the interests of the minor public blah blah."
Song of the day: Whatever you like, by T.I.
Mreen wants me to teach him to play the guitar. How many times have I heard that one before?
That @$$fu%!inhole doesn't play the drums. Yet. Frig him!!
When did we become Chimera again?
I think its time The Wunderkind Spawn went back on. Wait and see.
Running off the keyboard...

Came across a stat message on orkut today that said, "WAITING TO TURN 18..." I dunno if that's the exact words, but yu get the drift. I re-read it a couple more times (just to make sure there wasn't any hidden pun), then changed my stat message to "definitely not waiting to turn 18." Again, I'm not sure those are the exact words.
C'mon, getting a driver's license and an ATM card sure means a lot more fun, but heck, I don't want people to have an official reason to start calling me "Uncle"...!! Man, I miss those days when you could climb all the trees yu wanted, and no one would give yu a weird look or think "what is wrong with this guy?" Plus, all it ever cost to upgrade your flight from economy to business was a smile at the air-hostess. No free goody-bags now either. Not like I want them now, anyway. I wouldn't mind a free M-15x, though. Whoo..!! And no worries about consequences back then.
Come to think of it, all the things that turned out really great were stuff I did without thinking.
I just realized I can't spell 'etiquette' perfectly. Or is it 'etiquitte'?? Gotta google it once I'm done with this. Don't wanna do it right now and remove these 2 lines.
Size does matter.
Anyone know why they call it a "T"-shirt?? Looks like an obese 'T' would be the most obvious answer, but... hmmm...
Half the user-scripts don't work with GreaseMonkey. I use Chrome, though. I'm pro-Google. Either the scripts they provide are old, or the websites stay updated and secure and anti-hacking-javascript. Or Firefoz just plain ducks*.
Listening to Valentine's Day, by LP. Awesome, dude!!
F.L.E.A.'s recommendation for today: Turn time around, by nLannon.
Song of the day: Anonymous- BV mix, by Bobby V (feat. Timbaland).
That's 3 songs in a single post, the highest so far.
Now.
Now.
And now.
Really, I'm just typing shit to make this post bigger.
The Butterfly Effect was one cool movie. Add to crush list- Amy Smart. That is her name, right?
And FF just got so MUCH BIGGER right now. Dunno why. Did a little profile-surfing, maybe.
:P
Nebu's birthday 2om. He's not online. Unscrew* Muscat and its dumb internet connections.
Anyways, cya for now. Mohsin's online. 3 CS servers online. Gotta pick.
Duh!
P.S. Mr. Garrisson is voiced by Trey Parker, for sure. I just noticed the totally unfakeable similarity between their voices+accent.
*used instead of commoner words considered colloquial by the 40 plus.
Musings... (continued)
Do I put those three dots after (continued) or before it?? Hmmm...
There was no connectivity today. I mean the entire day. The previous post was posted 5 minutes back, trust me. Google gives its users a certain degree of freedom, which I happened to exploit in this case.
I'm actually getting good at CS these days. I mean good, as in GOOD!!
Wrote a song today. Been a really long time since the last one. And unlike all the older ones that were actually for a person, this one is not for a person. Take note of the carefully placed italics, heh.
Anyone got problems with google chrome? It suddenly won't open??
Not my problem.
My eyes are burning. Movie and shutdown.
Cya.
Btw, song of the day: In pieces, by LINKIN PARK, the coolest friggin dudes on this friggin planet.
That auto-corrects to the ENTIRE UNIVERSE!!!
Musings in the sun...

Today was Daddy's birthday. Thought I'd call up at 12, but then decided to call later in the morning, after putting some extra top-up so I could speak for longer.
Removed all my facial hair this morning. Well, most of it. I left a little goatee for no specific reason. Btw, goats have goatees. Is that why they're called goatees? Wikipedia calls.
I remember this one guy who came to Amitav's room once. I was just browsing thru stuff, Amitav was watching Naruto, and that guy comes in and says, "Oh, mungah! Arre, sahi mungah hai yaar," and blah blah... ain't gonna write EVERYTHING he said. Anyways, the main subject of his one-sided conversation happened to be 'mungah!' whatever that meant. I didn’t wanna prove to Amitav that my Hindi vocab was poor (again), so I didn’t ask him what it meant.
10 minutes later, it struck me that he was talking about manga.
Seriously...
The guy is one of our classmates apparently, but I doubt that. I never see him in class. Not even when I attend it.
And the guy who normally recharges my Airtel account wasn't there, so I could only speak to Daddy for like 4 minutes, I guess. The US of A is on the opposite end of the earth, and IT ONLY COSTS INR2 TO CALL THERE?! UAE's not half the distance away, and SHIT!!
I was talking with an old friend of mine the other day, and she asked me why I write a blog.
Anyone know the answer to that?
VIT’s actually experimenting with A.C. electricity. The power’s been going on and off every 5 minutes for the last probably half-hour. I could bet a thousand bucks it’s going to go out in 2-3 minutes again.
And my EX-girlfriend sent me a message saying she read what I wrote about her sometime back. Like I couldn’t make that out from her lame Orkut stat message. And I’m pretty sure she’s reading this now.
Because, a spinoff from a Clouseau-dialogue, it is a big deal to be talked about on the internet.
Heh, but Steve Martin was just too good in that movie. LMFAO-ed throughout the 1-half hour. Nice one, dude.
I bought some sandwich spread from Allmart this afternoon, but no bread. No problemos. I had a spoon, and some famished taste-buds. By the time I finally got the strength to put it away, it was half-full. I’m an optimist:)
Just found a CS pub. Ciao.
Toldya the power wud go off. Wish "you" were real, so I'd be richer by a thousand bucks now.
And I’m trying to put less tags for posts, so that my Blogumus-cloud looks less crammed.
Tc.16.48hrs.
P.S. Add to crush-list: Nariko.
Reason why I don't prefer being around some guys in VIT...

I have rotis with gravy.
Those guys have gravy with rotis.
There's a big difference.
Ranting...
BIG dose of insomnia, doc gave me last night. Didn't have much to work on either. So I saw a couple+1 old movies that I found lying on my hard-drive. Madagascar2, Superhero Movie, and Torque. That reminds me: I had to download 'All by Myself', by The Rescues. Legally, of course.
Ykno what they say...The internet is the mother of all lies. I'm just keeping with the picture.
My eyes finally turned heavy at around 7.30am this morning. But since they started serving breakfast downstairs anyway, I thought I'd go have my dinner before I sleep.
Just in case I haven't mentioned it before, I live on the 5th floor of my building. Good for testing emergency landing procedures.
:P
And did they have some cold bread. And I hate bread-crust. Except if its pizza.
Looks like I'm developing an alter-ego. It gets kinda regular these days. When the sun's still up, I'm sketching, editing, creative stuff, mostly.
When its ciao-sun, ciao-creativity too, and mindplay comes into play. Wordplay, heh. I go around on killing sprees in CS, find out who's who and what's what.
Of course, the killing spree comes hand in hand with a get-killed spree too, but that's an entirely different matter.
And yeah, metaphorism seems to be taking over the world, eh. VIT, atleast. All these people around me have these crazy phrases on their books, totally "senseless" stat msgs online. What is this world coming to??
Talking about online, its the age of Web2.0 and some guys still make 2-dimensional 16-bit bmp images and call it their web logos...proudly. Gross.
My lingo-bar shows up everytime I turn my lappy on. Will check into this matter tonight.
Nuin much else.
Slept in the morning at around 8.00hrs. Woke up at approximately 18.15hrs. That makes it a perfect 10. Well, almost.
Why does my head still feel stuffed and heavy?
I'm getting this really strong "urge" to go play CS now, so I'll cut the crap and...
...get down to the song of the day. Let's all pretend like it's some pretty big thing and you've all been waiting for it so eagerly.
Anyways, song of the day: 'All by myself', by The Rescues.
Whoa!! Deja vu!
BB.
(...as in 'Bye-bye', not 'Be back.')
P.S. where did all my footer notes suddenly go?

This Pringles-ketchup makes me nostalgic. Duh, cuz I must’ve had a lot of it when I was tinier.
[The line above was written at around 7 in the morning. And then I fell asleep…]
9.49 PM
Woke up at exactly 5.04 PM, according to my trusty Sony Ericsson W550i. Not the kinda phone for a whiz like me, I know. And I'm not bragging.
10 minutes into my “day”, and Mreen comes asking for company to Allmart. Btw, they spell it “Allmaart,” with two a’s. Hadn't noticed it until late.
Anyways, I was saying, he asked me for company. I had to get myself a new lock for my cupboard too. And clothes from the laundry. Plus, Mreen had our math text, which no one I knew had. So, went along, got our course photocopied, bought a new lock, took my clothes from the laundry, blah blah blah…
Mreen finally forced his “friend” to get his laptop back from the girls’ hostel.
THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING!!! He just (exactly now, I SWEAR!!) messaged me saying his (now dumb) laptop doesn’t have WiFi. There go all my CS pawning-and-laughing-at-someone plans. Damn!
And started working on a new canvas. This time, it’s different. Its gonna be entirely digital, only on the computer. Just between you and me: Anjani n'a jamais reçu son cadeau d'anniversaire de moi. You can guess the rest of the story.
I just got an invitation from Ajitabh Singh to join a community in Orkut. The name of the community: “biharis......rocks.” Lolx. Duh, which button I clicked next.
I actually remembered which chapter ‘Sets, Relations and Functions’ was in the CBSE grade12 math textbook. Pranav asked me, and it just came out. 2 seconds later, it hit me that I actually knew where that chapter was, in the textbook. Whoa!
I got a hunch things are gonna be way different. Someone is sending me all these…..signs? Yesterday, there was the June 18 crap I went over. Today, ykno who/what.
Or maybe I’m just going crazy.
I don’t even know the name of the guy who serves me my meals in the dining hall.
Need a reality check. Now more than ever.
I’m signing off early tonight. Wanna break my sleep-at-6-in-the-morning routine.
Does anyone have extra T3? Its a thyroid hormone, and I need it badly.

Just for the heck of it, Song of the Day: Broken Wings, by Alter Bridge.
Dunno if the new look is better or worse. As always, like I care.
Guess I do.
Dumb favicon dumped itself.
My Counter-Strike avatar was left-handed for a couple of matches today. Couldn't change it either. Later realized that it was running on Software mode. Must've accidentally flicked it on. Swapped to OpenGL. Right-handed is right.
Its 4.32 am. I'm gonna try sleeping at 10pm today. This sleep-at-6-in-the-morning routine is starting to affect my gastric routine. I dunno if that's grammatically correct. Is it?
Anyways, will take leave for now.
Damn hungry. Hate Pringles for dinner/breakfast. Din-fast.

Mini-hiatus.
Been shit busy the last couple days.
Crap. How many times have I gone through this?! Nothing's gonna change. Might as well chain-spray all the opponent CTs. Won't make a heck of a difference.
- Counter-Strike rep: Lotsa guys "gossiping" on how each of "el3Ktro's" shots are headshots. Thank you, guys. What would I do without you?!
- Creative spree: Did a HELL lot of artwork the past few days. (Un)fortunately, all of it is digital. Not my decision to make.
- Alter-blogo: Was working a lot on my new blog too. Everytime I spent hours working on a planned look, I eventually wiped it clean and started from scratch again, all thanks to a few bugs that show when your blog is fully-grown. Right now, its stable and doing good. But for how long?
- "Long time, dude!": Met a lotta old friends online. The only one who wasnt new to my contacts list was probably Mohsin. Ass suddenly decided to pop back in mon vie.
- Insomnia: Doesn't let me sleep+happens during my non-creative hours. Frig!!
- Sudden affinity to the guitar: Cool new hooks popping in my head alluva sudden. Need a few TBs more space in my memory.
- Hours at the edge of the bed: June 18? I hope I'm still remembered...

BIG day.
Slept early (as usual) at around 6am. Was doing some computer surfing on the VIT wlan. Snicked a couple of movies from some dude who kept all his stuff in the public folder.
Anyways, Kiran woke me up to borrow my laptop. He returned it probably 10 minutes later. Apparently, they’d declared it on the VIT website that there’s holidays till the 16th of this month. I did some quick math in my head, and decided not to make that crucial call to Dad that would get a ticket to my cousin’s place booked for me. I decided to pop my head out in the corridor, and the surge of cell-phone radio waves DOES NOT THROW ME INTO THE WALL BEHIND. But if I was tangible to those dumb waves, I guess I’d have gone right thru the wall, not just into it.
By the afternoon, half the guys, 90% of the building had vacated their rooms. Took a couple of apps from Amitav, and his 2gig pendrive. Went to that VOLSBB control room to enquire about our wifi connection.
Didn’t tell ya, I guess. Our connection suddenly “expired” last night. The month wasn’t up (far from it, we were only 5 days into the scheme), and our 5gigs were still available. We checked, just to make sure, and we’d only used 1.2gigs.
Hence, the going to VOLSBB HQ.
Pranav had a fag. Fag. Heh. Hadda wait for him to finish his stick, cuz apparently, he didn’t want any of the girls to catch him having a smoke.
Still didn’t get any of the books for the exams next week. 10 days, same thing. I don’t even know which books I gotta get. Will work on that today.
Pranav had tough luck today. His cell phone’s battery was drained, and he had to make a call de rigeur. As if it wasn’t enough already, he lost his room keys. Guy was totally stressed, from the look of it. He took a nap in my room. We got a new lock in the evening, got his old one broken, and I have his spare key now. Moral of the story: Buy good jeans.
Hope no one sees this… shit, no way I'm writing about it here. It’s supposed to be confidential. Pranav, in case you’re reading this, ykno what I'm talking about… the sudden level-up in my Clan FAWN skills.
Using Rusher’s connection right now. I don’t know his real name. Few Indian guys remember the names of Chinese dudes here. Their aliases are much easier. So I call, as does 99% of the people he knows here, Rusher Rusher. Should I write that as, ‘I call Rusher, Rusher,’ with a comma?
Like I care.
Had a long talk with Mohsin till a few minutes back. Dude is getting friggin tortured in his guys univ. Pray for him.
Thought I’d write about how you can actually eat Maggi 2-minute noodles raw without scrunching up your face, but the clock at the bottom of my screen reads 5.42 AM proudly, so I guess I’ll wrap it up for now.
Till next tym.

Just removed a lot of labels from the older posts. The Blogumus cloud was a lil too crammed. Its still quite packed, but the difference is evident.
Creating a new blog now. The Wunderkind Spawn. Will write about PC tweaks, tips, and tricks. Alliteration again.
Why can’t I find one decent template for the blog? All of them have crap hollow spaces. Might as well stick to the default blogger templates. For now.
[2 hours later…]
Finally got a not-so-cool-but-will-do-for-now theme for the other blog. Frig. I guess it’s a common thing for people who live with computing. Edit, code, program for hours and in the end, all you get is a teeny link somewhere. That was just an example, not experience. There’s no teeny link on the homepage, anyway.
Amitav’s smiling in his sleep. Dumbfrig is thinking about his fat crush.

Finally got a not-so-cool-but-will-do-for-now theme for the other blog. Frig. I guess it’s a common thing for people who live with computing. Edit, code, program for hours and in the end, all you get is a teeny link somewhere. That was just an example, not experience. There’s no teeny link on the homepage, anyway.
Amitav’s smiling in his sleep. Dumbfrig is thinking about his fat crush.
Touches...
Just got the Blogumus widget for the blog, as y’all must’ve already noticed.

Tried to add a navigation bar too, but didn’t work out. Sleepy now.
Catch you l8r.

Riviera's finally up. Whew...!
Slept early again last night. Or this morning. 6 am. Was tweaking my lappy a little too much, maybe. You wouldn't realize it runs on Windows one of these days.
Woke up at 2. Post mid?? Is that what pm stands for? I could google it, but I'd prefer having someone tell me. Humans are social creatures.
Had a shower, went to the laundry. Put in a gulf-calling booster in my cell to call home. Saves a lotta cash. A penny saved is a step closer to the ultimate accessories for your lappy.
But later realized you need to have more than INR1.50 in your balance to use that booster crap, cuz I had 1.36 in my balance, but the call just wouldn't go. Realized why later.
Actually wore a shirt today. Harsh too. He's the one who told me to, in the first place. Thought DJ night meant unlim. dancing and booze. There was dancing, but hell, I don't listen to Tamil party tracks, no way. And don't even think about booze. And Amitav, Kiran et moi were just roaming around the place, meeting a couple of friends, hi's, byes, every few minutes.
Sad, each one of us is single. I'm DEFINITELY not regretting leaving my EX-girlfriend, though.
Someday, I might just regret saying that, but about that, I'm skeptical.
Not much else. Edited some tiny bits in this blogger html. The arrows that bulleted the post titles originally are now A's. And there's a Cartman pic at the bottom-right of this page that brings you to the top whenever you click it. Try it. Thanks to...crap, I forgot who told me how to add that.
And I tried a couple of backgrounds, but eventually stuck to the classic navy blue shit. Its not bad when you look at it. Squinting your eyes. From 4 feet away. At angle of 67.3° to the LCD normal. Upside down.
Just signed up on LinkedIn.com. Dunno how its gonna help me, but lotta people i know are on it, so jumped the bandwagon.
Sad, seriously. I ended up in the wrong class with the right people. Twice. FRIG!!
Someone asked me today:
How many surgeons does it take to change a lightbulb?
The right answer was:
None. They just wait for a suitable donor and do a filament transplant.
Sick.
Song of the day: Icebox, by Omarion. FRIGGIN AWESOME!!

NOTICE BOARD #1
Monday, February 2, 2009
I just noticed Harsh's clan-name went missing in a previous post, where i listed my new CS clan's lineup. His alias was supposed to be fawn_|_"<"Hu$tl3r">", without the double quotes. Stupid HTML got the better of me.
I hope atleast this works and doesn't go haywire again.
Fingers crossed.
And just changed the favicon to this blog. Will create a better one when I can.
Morning.

Finished Devil May Cry 4!!!
Finally done with DMC4.
Awesome game/movie. Heh.
Loved the return of Nero. At the end of the game, I mean. Missed the devil-bringer like shit.
Since I don't have much to say, guess I'll just file you in on some tips for the final level. Most of which you probably know if you've come till the final mission.
1. At the inanimate-doppelganger-die-puzzle, go stand by the die and observe the order for a moment. Its a fixed order, not random numbers turning up. Now look at the ground, check out which number you need. Go by the die, keep your finger on the devil-bringer (DB) key ready. Just as your number is ABOUT to turn up, when its halfway between two numbers, hit the devil trigger key. The delay will make sure your number is up when the claw hits it. Plus, your doppelganger always moves counter-clockwise. So, go easy on the math.
2. For Berial, stick to his side. Keep an eye on his movements. He always gives a warning before doing some big shit. If done right, you can kick this guy's butt with zero damage. Whenever he pulls his hand back (means he's gonna SWIPE!), or lifts his forelegs, or something that looks dangerous (heh), jump, jump, JUMP till you're sure you're safe. Back to side, summon your demon form, slash, slash, SLASH with your sword (cuz that's the best weapon, in my opinion). In case you get pushed away, bang him with your guns as you walk towards him. Keep at it, he'll be done in no time.
3. For Echidna, well, slashing is the most effective on her upperside. And whenever, she moves out of view, hit the target button, so that you know where she is. Its spacebar, if you're doing it on PC, which, unfortunately, I did (I'm not complaining, though). She prefers staying on the move, so keep firing your guns at her, cuz you don't wanna waste time letting her "plan" her moves. Her common moves are these:
-She goes to the edge of the open area, goes around a couple of trees, and comes shooting back. The target button helps here to see where she is. When she's a few feet into the area again, jump aside. This is when she comes shooting at where you were a second back. Piece of cake.
-She stops at a place and her bottom rises, exposing her glowing "womb" (heh). The DB makes mince meat of this. Use unlimited DB combos on that "womb" and watch a huge chunk of her health bar disappear.
-She sits "into" the ground, and her tentacles shoot out the ground as vertical stalks that slap the shit outta you. Whenever she's about to sit this way, run towards her. Get as close to her torso as possible, and start slashing. Summon your demon form for more damage. The tentacles won't touch you if you stick close to her.
-She just hovers there, doing nothing, just staring at you for a couple of seconds. Here, run towards her asap. Get a good chunk of her health bar. She might start swinging her now-electric hair around. When she does this, just get over to her side-back. They don't touch you here.
She does a few other common moves that you must've found how to counter.
4. For Dagon/Bael/3rd-brother, don't really know if my method could be called "pro", but this is what i tried. Slash at his "chin" and sides, till he notices you and (most probably and usually) jumps to another spot. Shoot till you get there. Don't just hold the shoot button and move. Alternate between the two: shoot-move-shoot-move, more move than shoot. As soon as you're close to him, slash slash. Whenever he blows his mouth, be ready to jump. Just as his mouth moves downwards again, jump to the side. Any side. Its usually his 'ice' attack, but if its his air-blow, that's unavoidable unless you manage to jump to his side totally. When he disapears, slash his antennae-chicks as much as you can. Don't focus on one girl for too long. Keep switching between the two, else the other one might wrap herself around you, and Dagon's gonna swallow you asap. One more thing, whenever Dagon is about to swallow you, jump into his mouth yourself. Make it your move and not his. This way, you can slash around even inside him. The chicks give you a lot of red orbs. So keep them busy with you for as long as you can.
5. Sanctus was one big @$$#oL3!! Use the DB on the little orbs he produces to get close to him. Then slash at his force field. The colour denotes its strength. When its red, its weak. Break it. "Devil-bring" on him as much as you can. Just as he's about to get his shield back, summon your demon form and BIG SLASH!! He falls down. Don't waste time, devil-bring him as much as you can. Put in a couple of slashes too. Its easy once you get the pattern. Halfway through, he starts doing long red power-streaks at you. Watch the timing and jump just before he rushes at you. He does this twice in a row, so don't lower your defenses yet. After the second time, jump behind him, slash. Red Rose is a blessing.
6. The last part where you destroy the Savior with your DB was a little puzzling. I lost 4 parts of my health bar, before i figured out the trick. His right hand is easy. Just jump-dodge befre he smashes, and use the DB on his hand. His left hand is a bit tricky though. It'll take a couple of tries before you get it. This hand, unlike the other, doesn't stop anywhere near us, stealing a good chance of using the DB on this one too. What you need to do is, just as he pulls back his arm, jump, use the DB. If timed right, the devil claw will hit the hand just as it's about to smash you. This totally bangs him, and his head drops down in front of you. Easy-peasy, use the DB on his head. Game over.
7. Most importantly, get into the mission, make sure all the cutscenes are over and the character is properly in your control, and then SAVE YOUR GAME!! Make sure you do this at the start of each mission.
Again, all this is only my version. Someone else might tell you different. Styles change, yknow.
Cool concept, the way you can play when the credits are going on. Hats off to CAPCOM. Nice one, dudes.
And like most other good movies, they had to end the movie hinting at a sequel.
Its 2.33 am. Watch a little South Park and go to sleep. I will, I mean.
And someone asked me today:
How many Neha Bhasins does it take to change a bulb?
The right answer supposedly was:
Five. One to force the bulb to change itself by boring it, one to wish she had changed the tube-light instead, two to do an attempted hot dance and scare people of fused bulbs lest she returns, and one to assure us how well she knows we enjoyed.
Adios.
I'm only 17, btw. Sick.

The Way I Are™-Timbaland
Sunday, February 1, 2009
...and i dunno why, but 'The Way I Are' has been playing in my head all evening.
I'm listening to it right now.
Awesome.
Song of the day, i.e. 31st January o9.
Make that songs, including the JT remix.
Almost forgot.
Someone asked me:
How many backbiting politicians does it take to change a lightbulb?
The right answer was:
Two. One to change it, and another to change it back.
So someone asked me later (...again!!!):
How many Raghu Dixits does it take to screw a bulb?
The right answer again was:
Three. One to change it, and two to make sure Vishal and Shekhar compensate for how they screwed up the screw-up.
As if that wasn't enough, someone asked me again:
How many lightbulbs does it take to change a lightbulb?
The right answer was supposed to be:
Two. The old one, and the new one.
Your answer is not counted if your words are not in the same exact order.

Has anyone ever heard of The Efekt Krew??
The DOTA guys lost their winning streak that never began.
The NFS guy lost his winning streak that had just started.
The CS guy: well, there's still no news from him.
Bottomline: people are gonna start mocking us if we call ourselves gamers.
Sad.
Totally.
Evening, there was this dumb rampwalk, couple of tamil actresses as the chief guests (apparently, they're "hot" around here...eeuuUGGH!), few dances. But the best was this acrobat group called 'The Efekt Krew'. Yep, sure they performed well, but I still don't get why I can't find the Efekt chick's name, no matter what I google.
Oh, they got 4 guys and 1 girl. Hence.
Can someone help me out on this? I really need that girl's name. Need to add her to my 100-wishlist. The Efekt Crew is a group that does, to be precise:
- Egyptian Fire Show.
- Brazilian Capoeira Acrobatics.
- Glow Ball lights and poi.
- Aerial silk.
PLEASE! Desparate enough to spell it that way!
Good Morning.
