Metal Gear Solid 4: Akiba proposes to Meril

Just finished this game last night! And have to say, the last 2 hours of that game were totally epic. Ended up staying up til 12:30 to finish it. Here is a clip from a scene last night that I thought was awesome.

Change to blogger posting

I just wanted to comment on something I've noticed in the last two posts. After you make a post, instead of blogger asking to send you back to the blog, it sends you to just that post. This is something that I really like, as I do a lot of editing in past posts that I use as pages.

Metal Gear Solid 4



Growing up, I was never a fan of the Medal Gear Solid series. They've always had very good reviews, but I was never a fan of sneaking around 24/7 through a video game. Now that I have a PS3, I was won over by the beauty and the outstanding reviews that is Medal Gear Solid 4.

My first impressions were wowww, how beautiful. The opening "commercials" were epic. Then my first intro mission, kind of cut short. I had to get used to the whole sneaking around gameplay, so the intro mission was a boring learning curve. Despite that, it didn't take long for me to get sucked in. This game has a lot of cut scenes, but I look forward to each one, as they all look stunning and progress the story very nicely. I'm totally hooked on this game and spent all weekend staying up til around 5 am playing it. I recommend this to anyone who owns a ps3, old fans and new. It's way cheap if you want to buy it, like 30 bucks.

Here is a tight ass scene from the game, where Raiden makes his first appearance to fight Vamp. This vid doesn't even do justice. It looked 100X better on my tv!



Trig. Finding Sin and Cos of an Angle

I put this in both tech help and personal. It doesn't have anything to do with tech really, but it's help, and my tech help section is looking a little empty.

So my trig class has already moved on to sum and difference formulas, as well as half angle formulas. But one of the things I have failed to grasp up til this point, was the basic sin and cos of a basic angle such as 45 degrees. I can tell you that the sin of 45 degrees is (root)2/2, just cause I see it so often. I could survive without having it memorized, the calculators we use can do this kind of thinking, and they are essential for everything in that class. But, the calculators themselves can be tricky and it could take more time to solve by calc, than it is to spit out something memorized. So this brings me to a table I'd like to share with you, that was never shown in my class, for all basic angles in the 1st quad



30 degrees45 degrees60 degrees
sin(root)123
cos(root)321
all divided by 2



This table with some manipulation, can get you almost all major angles. For example, the sin of 60 degrees by using this table, would get you (root)3/2. Well how about the sin of 120 degrees. It's the same angle as 60 degrees, just in the second quad. So the answer would be -(root)3/2.

Anyways I felt this table was very helpful, and I will be using it for sure in my math class.

My Ongoings

School Days Eps



BLOG
Wow, a full week of no posting XD I have seriously been meaning to post somethings, honest, but I generally forget what I meant to post, or I just get wrapped up in something else. I will say that my blog hasn't totally taken the back burner, I have finally found a gallery software that works. I originally wanted the gallery created by indigo scripts, but sadly, they aren't around anymore. So, I have settled with gallery2(creative huh :P). I should have that up and posted in my blog soon.

I have also ..wait..damn. What'd I say? I have already forgot the 2nd thing, it'll come back to me. You can thank me for having to run up and restart the server for my companies cameras.

GAME
I am now a guild master on my priest alt. I am actually the guild master of the very first guild I was in years ago, when I was really trying to be hardcore about WoW, and leveling my mage. This guild was being used as a junk storage place by an old guildie of mine, whom the original guild master gave it to. So I talked to him and now hope to revive it as a pvp guild. My plan in the next expansion to come out, is to spec it as a pvp guild, and also work up relations with other end game guilds who are going PVE. I hope to strike up an alliance with the other end game guilds, so that my members who would like to PVE at times, will not feel limited to PVP only. Ik that I would like to PVP and PVE with my priest, so it's a nice thought.

LIFE
Same story as usual. School is taking up a lot more time this semester than it has before. I'm trying to get to bed early every night than normal, no more midnight stints. So now I find spare time more scarce. If I have an ounce of free time left, I try to spend it in WoW, or I read more of the new Da Vinci Code sequal.

THE PIC ABOVE
That pic had nothing to do with this post, but I was searching for an anime pic, and saw it. The pic is from school days, which is a highly psychotic and crazy anime. If you're in the mood for something like that, I highly recommend it. It's very short, and starts out cute and bubbly and stuff. But as the anime progresses, it gets a little darker, then in the last 2 eps, it's outright extreme!


here's a trailer (looks cute, but it's only a mask to the deeper darker side of it)
