Deep Trouble

Yesterday was pretty fun at first. I had a shedule'd hang out with my friend Brandon yesterday. He was origonaly suppose to come at 1 PM, but he woke up at 1 PM! So, I had to wait till 3 PM for him to come. It sucks of what he has to go through just to get here. Because of how I moved at the start of last fall, he has to take a bus too downtown, then another bus full of smelly creepy mentally insane people. He described that there was a elderly man that sat next to him that kept on drooling on his shirt.

When he FINALLY got to my house, we just play'd video games for a little bit, then went outside to get some drinks. When we finally got back to my place, we play'd my most hated game of my childhood: Universal Studios Theme Park Adventure for the Gamecube. Well get to this game later

After we were done torchuring(Yes, I know its spelled wrong) ourselfs, we went on my computer and talked to my buddies. By 9:30 PM, Brandon said he should be heading home, and asked if I wanted to stay over at his place. I asked my mom and she said to "just take him to the bus stop". So that's what I did. We walked to the bus stop. This is when we were in deep shit.

We waited at the bus stop...waited...waited...waited. FOR TWO DAMN HOURS!!! So then, this is when all the creepy people started coming out in the night. There were 3 guys, all wearing black lugging around a gas tank! Yes, I'm dead serious. While they were doing that, there was a police siren going off. Did these guys light something or what?!?


If they did what we were thinking, then we count as witnesses o_o'. So by 11 PM. a bus pulled in next to a restaurant, so we went there to check it out. The bus driver told Brandon that they changed the bustop for good, and the only way he could get home was too ride a bus into deep downtown where there is no bustop nearby, and probably get killed. So this is when we got stumped, we went into the Post Office because it started to get too dangerous and cold, and I brought out my phone.

I called my mom for advice on what to do. She scolded at me and told me to "take him to the bustop", and I said "I did", but then she said "THE BUSES ARE STILL RUNNING!!!". I told her that "The bus he is suppose to take changed its route for good", and she didn't believe me. So she said "Take him to the bus or I'll drive him home, but if I drive him home, this will be the first, and last, time I will drive him, and you can never hang out with him anymore". OK, so let me straighten this out, I had only 2 options, and both were fatal:

1.Take him too the bus stop, and he will lose his life or get lost

2.Drive him home, and I will lose my friendship with him for good

TELL ME, WHAT WOULD YOU DO!? We already called the Metro phone number, and they didnt pick up. The only reason why my mom thought the buses were running was because my sister got home recently, BUT SHE GOT A RIDE FROM HER FRIEND. This wouldnt be a trouble if we werent so damn young or the metro buses were purposly being assholes!! WHAT A BUNCH OF SHIT. A PILE OF FECES. F)#$*)$#!!!!!

So...as a last resort I called my step dad to see what he has to say. Since the buses weren't running, and he understood, he told us to came back to my place, were he will drive us. We were forced to agree with this. You had no idea how sad we were. He got a ride home, and my parents said I am grounded. Ok, WHAT DID I DO WRONG?! WHY MUST I SUFFER?!?!?! On the ride back home my dad popped in a CD full of depressing music of a ticking clock(litterally, thats the whole song), a man breathing really hard with ghost sounds in the backround, and just plain silent noises. Let me tell you, that made me depressed and sleepy. So I smashed into bed at 1 PM when we got home, and it was the end of a good night gone wrong.

P.S: They never found a punishent to ground me

New Design/Sickness

YES! I am no longer sick! That's right, I killed the cold, headache, and soar throat I had throughout the past days. Man, does it feel good too not be sick anymore.

So too celebrate, I added a new template to the site. It now looks completly different now. And plus, some of you who are sick out there, and medicine won't do anything, I have some suggestions of what you can do for each sickness.

Headache: Headache's are a real pain. Seriously, one time it felt like my head was about to blow up into a million pieces. I really hate these things, it can make your eyes burn and shit. But don't worry, these are common. Some ways how I cured this was too:

1. Take a long cold shower
2. Get well rested
3. Limit the time you spend using Electronic Devices


Soar Throat: These are god awful. It take's time for you too get rid of this too. You will experience maybe hard time talking, which is a REAL pain if your at a meeting or at school. So I have some ways for your too cure this basterd.

1.Drink plenty of water
2.Don't raise your voice, It may make it worse
3.Limit how much you talk

Common Cold: These are OK, but get real annoying. YOU KNOW WHY? Because you can get this virus from other people who have it! Don't think about passing it too someone else, they'll have too suffer with this piece of shit. I found it kind of hard to find a way to cure it without medicine.

1.Don't go near anyone who has the cold, it may make it worse
2.Sleep
3.Eat vegetables

Conclusion: I dont really have much too say to cure things. Just drink water, eat veggies, get good sleep, and overal, you should feel fine. Its important to keep yourself healthy because these viruses are a pain to deal with. You may say that I'm not being very helpful with the advice, but remember, I'm not a doctor. Oh, and when your sick, STAY HOME.

Valley Of The Kings:Howard Carter And The Discovery of Tutankamen's Tomb/Okami

Look at the cover. It's kind of shitty. Today I was being forced to read a book by my Step Dad, which is this one. Now don't get me wrong, I don't judge a book by its cover that much, but this one is kind of dull and depressing...make's me sleepy. So I have to read one chapter of this book every day and write a book report about it, or else I'll get all my stuff taken away, and that included my computer, Game Consoles, TV, Phone, Mp3, everything. So I was in a hurry because I was close to beating this game I had standing by in my bedroom. I wrote one decent page about the chapter. I gave it too my step dad, and insulted of how my writing was too big, and that I spelled "seasons", "seazons". Oh, and he looks after every mistake. So what does he make me do? WRITE IT AGAIN. So I write it again this time, except i accidently ripped it when writing a word! So, he made me write it again for the 3rd F*(#$*ing time!! I got the writing good this time, but man...what a bunch of bullshit.

Now after all that trouble I went through, I could finally finish up that game I was playing, and it was called Okami.

This is a great game. Damn great. You take control of the sun goddess, Ameratsu, in the form of a wolf, as you attempt to save the world from the evil curse that has been put on it. You have this partner name'd Issun, who helps you throughout your quest. I know this game for having a nice solid T rating, and for being loosly based on Mithology.It is also very long, probably longer than LOZ:Twilight Princess. A unique part of the game is that you have a magical paintbrush, in which you can use several commands to draw stuff, like if you draw a loop, wind appears in the direction you drew it in. You get a variety of items you can equip with for your weapon, like a blade or a reflector. When you defeat enemies or something, you gain yen, the game's currency, in which you can buy items, weapons, and new fighting moves, like golden fury, where you take a piss on your enemies to make them more mad. Yes, seriously. There's a move called Brown Fury, and I don't even want to know what that does.

If you own a Wii or a Ps2, this is a game you should really try out. I give it a 9.5/10.

Vegetable

Hey guys, me again. I'm still sick, but i don't have a sore throaght anymore. But now, I have a damn cold and stomach ache!! So because of how I was sick, i had to eat these vegetables called Chinese Brocolli.
Just take a moment by looking at it. Seriously. LOOK AT IT. I mean, it dosnt even look like brocoli, it looks like a swamp monster or something! Even when i used dressing, I could still taste that foul taste. So, not only does it taste like shit, but it makes you sleepy! WHAT A SELFISH HOG. THIS GREEN PIECE OF SHIT CAN BURN.

The Maplestory Part 2

Edit: Part 1 is here if you havn't read it yet.

Hey everyone welcome to Part 2 of the Maplestory blog posts. I'm going to discuss about my experience with it starting now

So I walked into a 7-11 Store and bought a Slurpee. I noticed that it was Maplestory themed and I'm like "What the hell is this?". 7-11 also had a deal if you bought the slurpee, you get this exclusive nexon CD, were you can download all the online games it included, for free. It included Maplestory, Mabinogi, Combat Arms, Sugar Rush, and Audition. I'm like "WOAH! 5 online games all packed into one CD! This is gonna be cool!". So i went home and popped that CD into my Laptop, and a menu comes up. They included trailers of the game's and gives you an option to download it. So I decided "Oh what the hell, I'll give Maplestory a try". So i downloaded that. Then it said "Sorry, your maplestory program is out of date, you need to update it" and I'm like WTF? So i brought my laptop to the libary and downloaded the patch from the site. Guess what? IT DIDNT WORK. So I said "Oh F(#* it ill just re-download the whole entire thing". So FINALLY after about an hour of download, i felt like I accomplished something, so I went home and went too bed, thinking how the game will be like when I play it the next day.

The New Adventure

The next day I decided to play some Maple for the first time. There was a list of several severs, and I had no IDEA what the hell I was suppose to do. So i just clicked the one with the most people, which was Scania, and made my character. At the moment I was thinking "The Graphics look well done, the music is relaxing, but it looks too cute". Ok so I made a character named Toastforlife, and then i got my ass thrown into the Maple Island, the starter place. I thought the controls were alright. You can jump using the alt button, attack with the CTRL button, and move around left to right. You get this shitty little razor as your weapon. When I was training, there was an assload of people running around in the training ground trying to kill the enemies for the mission, which I also had to do. I made a big mistake, I entered channel 1, the most crowded channel. I didnt even KNOW how to change channels at the time, so i was mad as hell. Thats another problem, the game is so damn crowded, and people steal your kills or items! After a while, i finally made it past the quests and made it too Victoria Island, the main area of the game. I arrived at Perion from saying I wanted to do a quest(I didnt take the boat from Lith Harbor, the area you were suppose to be, and i didnt even go to SouthPerry). So then i got my job and became a warrior. I was so happy. I ran out that door and typed "HEY! I BECAME A WARRIOR! YAY!". Then some guy said "STFU you stupid n00b i pwn ur m0ther". I had no comment. I was thinking "Do people in this game really talk like this, and are that mean?!". Yes.


I looked at the Victoria Island map, and i felt like I had a whole world to explore. A magical place with unlimited possibilites. A whole adventure awaiting for you to tackle it. Enemies waiting for you to beat the shit out of them. I decided to circle around the island, and I made few friends with some people on the way(even thought they quit shortly after) and leveled a bit. By the later level's, like past level 20 or something, i got a quest to go to a place called Orbis. So i got on the ship from Ellinia and shipped off. I started getting SOOOO BORED. I asked strangers when the ship will arrive, and i got mixed answers. 'EWWW go away you beginner", "Omg you stupid niblet", "AHHHHH YOUR FACE!!". Eventually, I got an answer saying that it arrives at Orbis is 10 minutes. 10. DAMN. MINUTES! Oh god, could they have made it shorter? Am i playing a game were i have to WAIT like I'm in the BUS? IS THIS A JOKE?!? Oh, and I was outside the ship the whole time. I got attacked by a high lvl monster called a Balrog in one hit. I was so pissed i had to go BACK to Ellinia and wait.

Maple's Dark Side Revieled

By the time I got to Orbis i joined my first ever guild, called Flames. The leader was Jarklear, and he was about level 27 at the time, i dont know, i forgot. So then I made friends with Jarklear, one of the people in the guild called StevenpowerK, and others. In fact, Jark and Steven still play too this day.Then i met this girl(Well, I didnt know she was a girl at the time, since she wore a mask) and we became friends. I joined her guild, and the leader of it was one of my buds, khaffywolf, and i got ranked up pretty high. The guild's name was Pankakes. Yeah, seriously. Eventually, we talked about how we wanted to get "married" in the game, so i worked my balls off to get the money to pay for the marriage. It was a fun fun day. But guess what? SHE QUIT A FEW DAYS LATER. YEAH! Seriously! So i blew 19 bucks on a wedding that didn't even last. It's like Maplestory kicked me in the ass on purpose. My feelings for Maple slightly changed, and I noticed the dark side it has, of which i saw every day.

The Dark Ages

Time slowly passed by in the game. That day left me wondering "What the hell happened to her". Well as far as I know, she still is gone. seriously. So i dropped the ring and made a divorce. I felt so bad. I wanted her to be happy. I let my friend Khaffy down because he helped supply me with everything I need to make the ring, in which I gave her. But now, its gone. Leveling started to get slow. I was still called a noob. I was sick of it. I worked my balls off too get to level 51, where I stopped being called one. I got to level 51, and i decided to just chill out in the game and talk to my bud's for a while. It was christmas time, a jolly holiday were everyone is happy. BUT NOT IN MAPLE! The only true way people say to level from Level 51-70 is too do a "part quest" called CPQ2. Basiclly, its a CPQ1, except for more advanced levels. Except this version is a pile of steaming elephant shit right in front of your face. Whenever I see a Elephant taking a shit the size of a couch, i think of CPQ2. CPQ2 is one of the worst party quests in the whole game, in my opinion. 51-70 levels for me was such dark times, but there was some upsides. I made alot of new friends and people looked up to me because I was higher level than them. I got new NX so i got more mesos and shit. I actually found out the secret to making alot of mesos with NX. Buy chaos scroll from trade shop with NX, and sell it for mesos at the market for like 100M+. Too bad that dosnt work now, maple changed. See, that really pissed me off. They added new characters like Aran and Evan, that overpowered the normal adventurer jobs, of how they had better damage and extra stuff. I also joined a new guild called Paralyzed, were everyone there was quite high level'd and was very active, plus my buddy Khaffy was in it too. But one day, he quit maple to join a PRIVATE SERVER with his maple wife that quit. I felt kind of bad for him. Private sevrer's are illegal and they are extrmely generous with power ups and everything. Why coudnt he just leave his problems and just let her go? I dont know. That's what maple does too people. After an insane amount of time to level from CPQ2(trust me, its slow), i eventually became level 67ish. I started to become more proffesional at the game. I had some rare items, like Sirius cloak, Stormcaster gloves, and Zakum Helmet. Sadly, more of my friends started to vanish. I was also welcomed into a guild called FudgeCycles, were i became friends with the leader, AQWinfoman. People considered me "a god", and definantly, not a noob anymore. People always wanted to be my friend, of how nice i was and "proffesional" i was. Then, I made it too level 69.

Light At The End Of The Dark Tunnel

At Level 69, everyone was cheering for me to level up too 70, because thats the time were you learn new moves and advance in your job. I was so excited. Me and my bud AQWinfoman went to the ghost ship were i fought ghosts too help me level. I also spent alot of this time talking with my bud's like Twinki7, Firebomb, Steven, Ben, and more. Then at around 90%/100, i went to the DOJO, were I trained until i could level. The last monster i fought before i level'd to 70 was a big ass whale with a clock on his head with giant nipples, called Alisher. Yeah...creepy. The sensation of beating the crap out of him made be excited. When i beat him, i slammed the keyboard and shouted saying "YEAHHH! I BEAT HIM!", and everyone in the house was staring at me like WTF? So then it was late and people went off too bed, while i continued with my "job advancent". I had to zigzag back and forth between Perion and Orbis place. Oh god it was boring. After a long ass wait, i got my new moves and shit, like a shouting blue tiger and combo moves. With the Blue Tiger, you can shake the screen. Haha I had fun pissing people off with that. I was strong enough to figh level 91 Temple Of Time monsters at level 70. I was able to make my way through the deep ocean, through Zakums hell, and past the Crimsonwood Keep spinning blades, one of the hardest obstacles of the game. I was able to travel too the future, were Tokyo was under hysteria over the robots they created destroying everything. I was able to travel to the deep time zone in Ludibrium up to the Powerfull Papatulus's layer. It's like you feel you can do anything, wherever, accomplish the bravest tasks, and no one can stop you. You can make the options of your destiny in the game with your own hands. That feeling of accomplishment was back, full force. I thought Maple couldn't get any better than this.

The "Death" Of Toastforlife

I was having a blast in the game. So many great friends, exploring new places, accomplishing difficult tasks, not being insulted for being new, and taking down powerfull bosses that you could never imagine defeating. THAT'S what a Massive Multiplayer Online game should be like! But then, my life changed, when i was standing around in Henseys(A town, said to be the home of the "Hensey HOES") doing nothing, when I was confronted by a girl named DiamondsLove. I thought "Hey she looks quite pretty, but don't let her looks fool you". She asked for something and I said sure. Then she said "Hey you look kind of cute, you wanna be my Boyfriend" and i said "sure". Now the first thing that popped into my mind was my former maple wife, and how she quit. I didn't want to make the same mistake. We talked and made a "home" and stuff. While I was "in love", my bud StevenPower also had a girlfriend, but the thing was, his girlfriend was MARRIED, so it was kind of awkward. Yeah...uh...lets move on. After several weeks I thought "Hey, Diamond isn't so bad, I want to marry her". Now the first thing that came into my mind was my former wife. I didn't want to make the same mistake. I wanted to make this perfect for the two of us! Without KhaffyWolf on my side to help me this time, I thought this would be a tedious and difficult task, but it has to be done. I worked hard to get all the proofs of loves and materials to form a wedding ring. When I forged the ring, stuff happened. I havn't seen Diamond in a while, and when I did finally see her, she started acting odd. Like, when i said i missed her she started laughing hysterically. That creeped the shit out of me. Even AQWinfoman saw it. I thought "This isn't the Diamond I'm going to marry.......is she?".

Then came that day in maple I will never forget. I saved up my money and bought all the gear I needed too make this wedding perfect. I came in with a Tuxedo, while Diamond wore a lovely white dress. I thought "Nothing can ever go wrong. Khaffy will be proud, even though he isnt here". We all gathered at the front of the Catheral, ready for this too happen. I was so excited. I clicked on the start wedding button and...nothing happened. Nothing. nothing...nothing. Then I asked what the hell happened? Then Diamond said she ACCIDENTLY dropped our anniversory ring, which is required in order to enter the Catheral! So then I entered a phaze. I noticed all the NX i wasted on this wedding that was a total flop. I noticed all the time I was playing, trying to accomplish something. I noticed all the time and effort i tried to put into this game. I noticed all the friend I had that slowly dissapeared. I had 70-80 buddies. Only about 8 left were still active.I noticed the true person Diamond was, behind all her makeup and looks. Then, I snapped. I couldn't handle this game anymore. I started to shout too all my friends that I was quiting for good. They were all shocked, and begged me too stay. I said forget it. I went up to the top of the wedding place, and dropped ALL my equips. Yes, even my rarest, most expensive items. EVERYTHING. I gave some of my best items to certain friends who were there, like I gave my Stormcaster gloves to AQWinfoman, some of my mesos to other people, etc. I knew I wasnt going to come back. So I shouted "F(@*& YOU!" and left maple.

Mr.Hawkeye

It was a sad day in Maple. People killed Mushrooms out of anger. People tried smashing the door out of sadness and both anger. I had a breath of fresh air. Days went by. I still had maple on my computer, and I couldnt leave my friends like that! So I made another character called xxHawkeyeexx, or Hawk or Hawkeye for short. He was a Aran, a pole arm warrior. This was the start of a new era of maple for me. When i went through the quests the character's were shouting "THE HERO RETURNED" and stuff like that. After I was level 10 or so I made my trip to Victoria Island, were I confronted Steven and AQWinfoman. I hid my identity as this character, disguised as a "noob". They questioned me of who I was, and eventually I told them I am Toastforlife. Shocked, they gave me some supply's to help me on my quests and for myself. Later I confronted Twinki and Firebomb and other buddies later on. I leveled and leveled, trying to make it back to level 73, the level i quitted at, thinking I made a terrible mistake. I noticed all the new minigames they added for the lower leveled people. I did all the tasks I needed to do. I was doing a very good job. Then, there was a update for a pyramid part quest, which helped me level alot. I made it up to level 43, and this is were they added a new job called Evan, a new magician job. So then I said "Oh F*#( it their just gonna keep adding new jobs too make the older jobs look weak and pathetic" I gave the Evan a try, of course. Then I left, this time, for good, and uninstalled Maple. No goodbye this time.

Conclusion

Ah, its a sad ending indeed to one of the few game's I played that I put so much effort into it. When I played the game, I loved it so much. I wanted to complete it...and complete that love. But Maple kept on finding some sort of way to throw a curveball or throw a big fat piece of buffalo shit right in front of my face. Maplestory, just isnt the same as it was back then, and not in a good way. Back then, Maplestory had a charm, that could never be broken, but Nexon messed up. With so many flaws and it being some sort of endurance, I don't recomend it too everyone. Its a never ending train wreck, and you'll be wondering "Why the hell am I playing this?". Go outside. Play with a ball. Hang out with your friends. Being cooped up at home trying to beat this game all the way is just a big fat waste. But with it gone in my life, I still look back looking at all the memories in the game. So many friends I will never forget. It was a fun experience with all the friendships I formed, and that too me Is what MMO's should be about, friends, experience, lessons, rewarding, and most importantly: Fun.

THE END

Edit: Too much for you too read? Well, there's more. Ready too read the conclusion? Here it is.

P.S: I recently started playing Maple again on xxHawkeyeexx. I accept all friend requests.

The Maple Story Part 1

Ah yes, I can finally talk about this game.

Maplestory is a online Massive Multiplayer online game, made by Nexon. In this game, you make a character and you wonder off into the "Maple World", Make friends, Do quests, and fight bad guys. Like alot of MMO's there's a leveling up system, where if you beat the shit out of a bad guy enough times, you level up. You can also choose between several jobs, like warrior, Theif, Pirate, Mage, and archer. Also, there's an assload of hackers out there just waiting to get your account. If you wanna stand a chance, you gotta secure your password and not be an dumbass and giving it away. There is also these beginners who are called "noobs" who beg you for "mesos", which is the game's currency, where you can buy new armor, weapons, potions, and more. There's also an option to buy stuff using REAL money, called NX(used to be called Nexon Cash). With this you can buy excusive items from the NX shop, or you can cash it in for Mesos. You can aslo use this NX for other Nexon made game's too.


I have so many problems with this game, and ill explain why I quit later. First of all, there's too many cruel, mean, and unusual people in this game, and they will insult you if you are a "noob" in this game. Second, the items in the NX shop have OUTRAGOUS prices, like a wedding ticket(yeah, there's weddings in the game), at maximum, is worth $29. Im dead f&*@ing serious. You have no idea how much money i wasted on this game. Lemme tell you, Nexon got really carried away with these prices. Third, it's just so damn slow. You can go up to a maximum level of 200 in this game. Your leveling speed as you grow in the game gets so outragous, it takes weeks, even months, to level. Dont forget, there's also potions you gotta have when training, and lemme tell you, they run out fast. So your just wasting your mesos even more and more. Doing quests wont help much, because there just so stupid, like "Collect 400 mushroom caps, 300 blue mushroom caps, 100 green mushroom caps, kill 999 orange, 999 blue, 999 green, collect 1 rare item" AND MORE. I MEAN, WHAT FUN IS THAT?! Fourth, the game goes through too many "sever maintenance", where they add stuff too the game, or fix bugs. Oh, and they do these alot. It may even get delayed for days. Fifth, once you pick a "server" to join, you cant change it unless if you make an entirly different character in the different server. So like, if your in the Scania Server, and you want to move too the Bera Server with your main character, your screwed, unless you buy A BLOODY SERVER SWITCH FOR $25! So its like Nexon is mocking you, "You wanna change server's too meet your friend or something or your being picked on?! Well you gotta buy it using your real money you little dumbshits!".

Well now since I covered all that, tune in for part 2 and I'll talk about my story in this game and how it ended.

Edit: I was just getting warmed up. After about 3 hours of writing, the part 2 post is here. Be prepared. This is going to be long.

Sushi

Well this is my first post in this new blog, so lets make the best of it.
Yesterday was pretty exciting. I got a haircut, and I was afraid it might turn out really shitty. You may not know this, but I have a fear of haircuts. But believe it or not, it turned out great. After that the whole family and I went to a resaurant called Bluefin, since it was my mum's b-day.

This is one of those Seafood themed All-You-Can-Eat Buffey places, and was real fancy. They had all sorts of food, like tons of Sushi, Seaweed, Clams, Crab legs, Mussles, Lobster Balls(I gotta admit, the name made me laugh a little), and much more. This is a great place to eat out, so if you have the chance, I reccommend you try it out.
