nine naked men

I don't think I ever completed an assessment in primary school, and I didn't study for most of high school. I think I only actually did revision for one exam in one subject, after I nearly failed the last one. I wish I could go back and get into better habits of studying and not leaving stuff to the last minute, it'd help so much in Uni, heh. Getting a C is just motivation to get a better grade next time, imo. If you can't convince yourself that C's are an okay grade to get, all I can say is work harder and study harder to improve your grade.

So yeah I am kind of excited if you couldn't tell.

[spoiler=ME3 Spoilers]I really hope ME3 answers more questions about the Reapers. >_< Who made the first reaper/s, how their indoctrination works, how long they've been killing everything, stuff like that. If they had any other Collector-equivalents (races modified to abduct people to create new Reapers), whether they stay at a static number and only create a new Reaper when one dies, aaaaa so many questions. There better be more about other races in the game, Volus, Hanar, Elcor, and the... two (?) others intro'd in ME2, I think. Also more about the races that came before Protheans, particularly Keepers and whoever it is that [bleep]ed that Reaper up that was shown in ME2. Aaaand they should show where the Keepers get all their materials for repairing everything (unexplored parts of the Citadel containing undestroyed records of pre-Prothean inhabitants yes please). It would be interesting to see if the Reapers use any ground forces other than Husks and junk, too. And I hope they're not just attacking Earth in ME3. I mean I get they hate humans and all but there have got to be a couple-hundred Reapers in the ending cinematic alone, I hope they're totally ruining everyone's day. Finally, I can't wait to see if anything super awesome happens from choices in ME1/2. Because the playthrough I'm planning to bring through to ME3 (keeping the Rachni Queen alive, converting the Geth to Legion's side) should give me two potential allies against the Reapers. There should be some pretty big consequences for stuff like that in ME3. So yeah I am kind of excited if you couldn't tell.

4.1 looks interesting. Staghelm as a boss. Ragnaros looks pretty awful, Blizzard seems to be continuing the trend of giving NPCs tiny tiny heads. He kinda looks like he's in Paladin T1, which is fitting, I guess. It was necessary though, unless they were planning on having him stationary again like in MC. His massive smokewhirlwind thing would probably irritated melee DPS a lot (ha ha why would melee DPS be in raids). Looking forward to how ZG is going to play out, and whether they'll change the storyline/bosses of ZA. Was in Arena last night, me on my Holy Paladin, friend on his Frost Death Knight, which is hilariously OP, even though he's pretty squishy. Came up against an ArmsWarr/HPaladin, and we were pretty evenly-matched for like 5 minutes, we came so close to downing their Paladin several times. >_< And then the most awesome thing happens; friend bursts the Paladin down low, then pops Dark Simulacrum to try and steal his heal, and instead steals the Paladin's bubble. We then crush the Paladin and the Warrior. Funniest win ever. :3 Seriously need to invest in a trinket, we would have won several times over but they always popped trinkets. The resourceful bastards. D: Looking into it more, it's actually pretty intriguing. Seems something will be happening in Silithus, what with the Anachronos Vision thing (which may just be a lead-in to the WotA raid, I guess), the Cenarion Hold Hallucination thing... aaaand something involving Coldarra/the Blue Dragonflight. Looks like Sulfuron Keep will open and lots more fire elementals will enter Hyjal or something, with the Hyjal Pre-Invasion/Invasion phases, and I'm guessing we're either going to places in the Firelands we've already been for dailies (jousting, the forges, Nemesis' lair) or it'll open up a whole new area, hopefully more interesting-looking. Subterranean cave-systems suck, I want a giant desolate burning wasteland filled with lava and the sky streaked with meteors and junk. >:3 Aaaand finally, Forlorn Spire assault. If the Silithus thing is right, it could be that tower in the south with that one NPC and the giant horn, but I don't think so... possibly a location within the Firelands? I dunno. Of course, all this stuff could just be phases of someone's fight, similar to Vancleef or even Yogg-Saron. I'm just speculating/lorenerding.

Apparently those three aren't seen again, they're just random people. Plus, the guy gets bit too. Just copy-pasting from Wikipedia atm: "The first mission serves as the tutorial. The character is trapped in a beach hut with other terrified survivors. One person begs the character to go outside and help a lone person fending off the horde. The character then picks up a lead pipe and walks outside. The names of the four playable characters in Dead Island are Xian Mei (a staff member at the hotel), Logan (a surfer), Sam B (a former rapper) and Purna. All four are in the Hero category." "The zombies have fully-modelled layers of meat and muscle rendered onto their bodies, meaning they have a multi-layered damage system with real-time injuries." - So looking forward to that. :3 Will definitely wait to see some gameplay trailers/reviews before buying it, but I'm optimistic.

To any Hunters who collect rare pets, I extend my sincerest apologies. :3

Awake/awoke/awaken/awoken/waken/woken. None of them ever look right to me. ._. These words are stupid, and I'm not even sure some of them are words augh. And yeah, I'm pretty sure I was a giant tool in most of my early posts, but I don't feel like going back and looking. D:

I don't really have a suggestion for the relationship side of things, but you could try ebuddy. It pretty much lets you use a lot of chat clients (MSN, Yahoo, AIM, etc) without actually downloading anything, just with an ID. I haven't tried it out myself, but a bunch of people on my friendslist use it, and it seems to work pretty well.

I mowed a lot today. Soooo much grass everywhere augh.

Don't forget that the zombies wear clothes incredibly similar to yours. And sometimes when your map is generating new places it bugs and includes things from your other saves, so you may end up coming across other buildings, seemingly abandoned. D:

I tested out the open beta, and even though the whole 'We're not in Azeroth anymore' ad thing kinda left me thinking the game was going to be awful, it was actually pretty enjoyable. The open beta seems to be going much better than most other MMO open betas I've tried, too. I think there was only one crash when I was playing, which I think is a record, har. I'm getting tired of WoW, so depending on when this comes out, it may bridge my MMO gap between WoW and SWTOR/GW2.

Meh. Hopefully they can pull off the melee combat without it feeling like some boring hack-n-slash. The trailer is interesting, if only for the fact that it may be the first zombie kid I've seen in a videogame/trailer, but it would've been much more interesting actually seeing some gameplay.
