Ragnarok Online II

Just saw an article online about RO II.

Before going into the article, just wanna say that it was not well received, when it was open beta.
Lousy reviews, and Zhang Rei even said it wasn't all that fun.

This article, dated December 4 2009, the company, Gravity, is overhauling the game!!! =D

Using a new engine, changing the whole system and everything...sweeeet.

AND...

IT'S NEARING COMPLETION!!!!!!!

Set to be released this year!! =)

AND AND...

they're making efforts to expand the game like what Square-Enix(flash back of Form 5 memories...that didn't really make it...Hock Chin's fault..=P) did with FF VII...OoO.

Hopefully I'll be able to see Porings and Prontera in this one as well...=)

Maybe TopFrags can build itself in a different game...=)


One more thing,

Shaun and I went to a forum about working with the EU. =D
HR(Human Rights) and IL(International Law) are something both of us are interested in. Surprisingly, Shaun doesn't think he will practice law. 5 years of getting hyped about going to law school and practicing law(against his father's desire)..and he doesn't want to...so no Wong & Kang(?) XD

Anyway, an email was sent to all IL students about this forum. Apparently they knew not many would attend as the room used was a small one. lol.

Shaun asked me to go to this forum (I didn't know about it, cause I'm not doing IL this year), cause Ghandi asked him to go for it.

YES! Ghandi asked him to go.

hehe...

No no...he didn't see a ghost..this is a different Ghandi. This Ghandi is teaching HR at UoR.
Shaun went to see him about some stuff.

The forum was quite good. There was this lecturer from Political Science giving his view about working with the EU on the ground.
Then there was this lady from the Foreign Office, and there was another lady from the European Commission, currently based in London.

BUT..since we're not an EU citizen, there wasn't much point in listening about the prospects of getting a job with the EU.
Non-EU citizens can only apply for an internship, which lasts 5 months. =)
You get to go to Brussels, Luxembourg and the lot.

It was nice to listen. The starting pay sounded NICE as well....4000 Euros. =D
And, if you join as a linguist, you get 5000 Euros starting pay...nicee.

One super funny thing about this forum....Shaun and I were the only ones currently an undergraduate. The rest were postgraduates. How do I know this?

One of the speakers asked if everyone there was a postgraduate student..everyone nodded. I looked and Shaun smiling. LOLS!! damn funny.



* YAY!! Guardiola is staying for another year(at least)!! =D
*AND Schumacher says he can win the World Championship..=D

Okay...gtg. =)

I've been here for too long now...

...you know this is so because...

walking around campus when the temperature is 9 degrees Celsius, feels kinda warm. =P

Also, I'm on my way to becoming a pasty pro...XD
Tried the Spicy Vegetable pasty today.
Don't.

Work is starting to pile up...no fun. =(
Assessed, non-assessed, tutorials, presentation....

I miss being a 1st year student. Like my neighbours here in Wessex. They don't seem to be stressed out about work, and they are always partying and drinking. I know Year 1 was fun..but not THAT fun. I think the subject has something to do with it as well. ;)


Oh yeah!!
HAVE YOU SEEN THE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR THE NEW STENTON AND MACKINDER HALL?

A 4 FEET BED!!!! whoa...
2 times the size of my current one...probably two times the price as well.
I was looking through the accommodations because I just got an email saying that I need to apply for my accommodations next year.

AND..

Wessex will be THE cheapest hall during the next academic term. Bridges and Childs are going down. LOLS!!


One last thing...who on earth are these anonymous people leaving comments on my blog?
Anyone having the same problem as well?

AND THEY LEAVE RIDICULOUS COMMENTS AS WELL!!
This is one, "Nice dispatch and this mail helped me alot in my college assignment. Thank you for your information."

Or this one, "It was certainly interesting for me to read that article. Thanks the author for it. I like such topics and anything connected to this matter. BTW, try to add some images :)."

I'm glad I managed to help someone's college assignment by saying a few words in my last post....LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!

Okay, gotta go for Land lecture at Madejski Theatre now..cya. =D
