7 Ways to Identify a Liar (repost; Since I still don't have time to post XD)

2008-10-17T02:59:00.000+08:00

Washington, Oct 10 (ANI): Not sure if your partner is true to you? Well, then here are a few signs that may help sniff out whether he/she is lying or not.

Here are seven ways to identify a liar, reports FoxNews.

1. Consider the person's recall: Liars never forget what they have to say but they may stumble when telling a tale by making contradicting statements. They're also eager to change the subject.

2. Observe the person's overall body language: Liars can look ill at ease, fiddling with their hair, stroking their throat, or rubbing their eyes. With their body often turned away from you, you may notice hand or leg fidgeting. Liars also have trouble swallowing and may shake their heads after a point has been made. When the subject finally gets changed, they appear happier and more comfortable, maybe laughing nervously.

3.Take notice of any defensiveness: Liars will often take offence to any indication that they're under suspicion. They're likely to throw any accusations you throw at them back at you. They will also talk too much, feeling the need to over-explain themselves.

4. Home in on facial expressions: Liars fail to control their micro-expressions. While fibbing, you may notice nervous twitching. Their hand may be covering or touching their face. People also tend to touch the mouth when feeling guilty or anxious. They're particularly good with fake smiles.

5. Don't overlook the Pinocchio reaction: When a human tells a lie, extra blood gets pumped through the body and the nose swells by a fraction of millimeter. Liars may subsequently touch the tip of their nose unconsciously.

6. Concentrate on the eyes: A liar has a troubled brow and downcast or darting eyes. They have trouble directly engaging your gaze. They also give you eye-accessing clues. If the person is telling you the truth, he'll look up and to the left since that's the side of the brain we use for recalling information. If she's lying, she'll look up and to the right, which is the creative side of the brain, because she's mentally constructing something that hasn't happened.

7. Note the person's voice: The higher the stakes are, the more the liar has a fear of getting caught. With this, the liar has a harder time controlling his body language or her voice. The pitch or rate of the speech may change, with the individual giving a lot of "umms" and "ahhs." Often, a liar will appear stilted and monotone. Answers may seem rehearsed. (ANI)

Bob Ong... YOU ROCK! XD

[Ipagmalaki ang salitang tagalog.. =)]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Napaka weirdo ng araw ko ngayon... hmmm... well sa totoo lang weirdo naman lage ang araw ko hehehe..

Dapat pag uwi ko eh pupunta ako sa bahay ng date kong kaklase.... kasi nagpapainstall sya ng Crazy Kart online at Cabal online... Pero sa dahil di sya sumipot... umuwi nalang ako na may hinanakit hahaha XD...

Kaw ba naman ang paghintayin ng halos isa't kalahating oras sa KFC sa Morayta ung sa tapat ng mcdo at sakayan ng jeep papunta sa Blumentritt... kung may nakakita man sakin..

OO! ako ung chubby dun.. (pero wafu) na lalake na nagaabang na parang tanga XD....

Pero bago ang lahat.... sa paghihintay ko na iyon eh nakakita ang ng lalakeng inatake at isang relationship(GF & BF) na nasira na naman...

Unahin ko na ung mag BF at GF..

Habang nagaabang kasi ako doon.. may mag syota na malapit sakin... Ung lalake... grabe prang nabwibwiset tuloy ako... ung xGF ko hnding hndi ko tinalikuran...
eh un grabe.. nag yoyosi tapos nakasimangot at todo ang pagbara dun sa babae kahit na pakiramdam ko nagpipigil lang ng galit ung babae...

habang tumatagal... nasabi ko sa sarili ko... "Grabe... pra palang ako ung babae date... mapagkumbaba.."(at prang ung xGF ko naman ung lalake.. mapagmalake haha)

Ayon... pagkalipas pa ng ilang minuto eh nagtalikuran sila sa hindi ko masabing kadahilanan... pero sa tingen ko nagbreak na sila... hahay....

Okay...
sunod...

ung lalakeng inatake sa overpass sa morayta ung malapit sa FEU na...

Habang naglalakad ako sa hagdan may nakita akong matandang lalake na humawak nalang bigla sa railing ng overpass at bigalng tumumba at muntik ng mahulog sa hagdan..

Erm... ang sa totoo nyan.. eh hindi ko talaga nakita ang buong pangyayare.. pasensya na haha..

noong naghihintay ako doon sa tapat ng KFC eh bigla ko nalang talaga nakita na may binubuhat na lalake pasakay sa isang jeep at sa tingin ko wala syang malay.. at nachismis ko nalang na inatake daw ung matanda... nakakaawa naman... sana gumaling siya...

at bago ako magpaalam....

The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés

2008-08-18T07:26:00.000+08:00

Sleepyhead Rule
The teenaged male lead will begin the first day of the game by oversleeping, being woken up by his mother, and being reminded that he's slept in so late he missed meeting his girlfriend.

"No! My beloved peasant village!"
The hero's home town, city, slum, or planet will usually be annihilated in a spectacular fashion before the end of the game, and often before the end of the opening scene.

Thinking With The Wrong Head (Hiro Rule)
No matter what she's accused of doing or how mysterious her origins are, the hero will always be ready to fight to the death for any girl he met three seconds ago.

Cubic Zirconium Corollary
The aforementioned mysterious girl will be wearing a pendant that will ultimately prove to be the key to either saving the world or destroying it.

Logan's Run Rule
RPG characters are young. Very young. The average age seems to be 15, unless the character is a decorated and battle-hardened soldier, in which case he might even be as old as 18. Such teenagers often have skills with multiple weapons and magic, years of experience, and never ever worry about their parents telling them to come home from adventuring before bedtime. By contrast, characters more than twenty-two years old will cheerfully refer to themselves as washed-up old fogies and be eager to make room for the younger generation.

Single Parent Rule
RPG characters with two living parents are almost unheard of. As a general rule, male characters will only have a mother, and female characters will only have a father. The missing parent either vanished mysteriously and traumatically several years ago or is never referred to at all. Frequently the main character's surviving parent will also meet an awkward end just after the story begins, thus freeing him of inconvenient filial obligations.

Some Call Me... Tim?
Good guys will only have first names, and bad guys will only have last names. Any bad guy who only has a first name will become a good guy at some point in the game. Good guys' last names may be mentioned in the manual but they will never be referred to in the story.

Nominal Rule
Any character who actually has a name is important in some way and must be sought out. However, if you are referred to as a part of a posessive noun ("Crono's Mom") then you are superfluous.

The Compulsories
There's always a fire dungeon, an ice dungeon, a sewer maze, a misty forest, a derelict ghost ship, a mine, a glowing crystal maze, an ancient temple full of traps, a magic floating castle, and a technological dungeon.

Luddite Rule (or, George Lucas Rule)
Speaking of which, technology is inherently evil and is the exclusive province of the Bad Guys. They're the ones with the robots, factories, cyberpunk megalopolises and floating battle stations, while the Good Guys live in small villages in peaceful harmony with nature. (Although somehow your guns and/or heavily armed airships are exempted from this.)

Let's Start From The Very Beginning (Yuna Rule)
Whenever there is a sequel to an RPG that features the same main character as the previous game, that character will always start with beginner skills. Everything that they learned in the previous game will be gone, as will all their ultra-powerful weapons and equipment.

Poor Little Rich Hero (Meis Rule)
If the hero comes from a rich and powerful family, it will have fallen on hard times and be broke and destitute by the time the game actually starts.

The Higher The Hair, The Closer To God (Cloud Rule)
The more outrageous his hairstyle, the more important a male character is to the story.

Garrett's Principle
Let's not mince words: you're a thief. You can walk into just about anybody's house like the door wasn't even locked. You just barge right in and start looking for stuff. Anything you can find that's not nailed down is yours to keep. You will often walk into perfect strangers' houses, lift their precious artifacts, and then chat with them like you were old neighbors as you head back out with their family heirlooms under your arm. Unfortunately, this never works in stores.

Hey, I Know You!
You will accumulate at least three of these obligatory party members:

The spunky princess who is rebelling against her royal parent and is in love with the hero.
The demure, soft-spoken female mage and healing magic specialist who is not only in love with the hero, but is also the last survivor of an ancient race.
The tough-as-nails female warrior who is not in love with the hero (note that this is the only female character in the game who is not in love with the hero and will therefore be indicated as such by having a spectacular scar, a missing eye, cyborg limbs or some other physical deformity -- see The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Rule.)
The achingly beautiful gothy swordsman who is riven by inner tragedy.
The big, tough, angry guy who, deep down, is a total softy.
The hero's best friend, who is actually much cooler than the hero.
The grim, selfish mercenary who over the course of the game learns what it means to really care about other people.
The character who is actually a spy for the bad guys but will instantly switch to your side when you find out about it.
The weird bonus character who requires a bizarre series of side quests to make them effective (with the ultimate result that no player ever uses this character if it can be avoided.)
The nauseatingly cute mascot who is useless in all battles.

Hey, I Know You, Too!
You will also confront/be confronted by at least three of these obligatory antagonists:

The amazingly good-looking and amazingly evil long-haired prettyboy who may or may not be the ultimate villain.
The villain's loyal right-hand man, who comes in two versions: humorously incompetent or annoyingly persistent.
The villain's attractive female henchman, who is the strongest and most competent soldier in the army but always lets the party escape because she's, yes, fallen in love with the hero.
Your former ally who supposedly "died" and was forgotten about, until much later in the game when he/she shows up again on the villain's side and full of bitterness.
The irritatingly honorable foe whom you never get to kill because, upon discovering the true nature of his superiors, he either nobly sacrifices himself or joins your party.
The insane clown or jester who will turn out to be surprisingly difficult to subdue.
The mad scientist who likes creating mutated creatures and powerful weapons 'cause it's fun (and also handy if uninvited adventurers show up.)
The adorably cute li'l creature or six year old child who fights you and, inexplicably, kicks your butt time after time.

Hey, I Know You, Three!
Furthermore, expect to encounter most of the following obligatory non-player chararcters (NPCs):

The townsperson or crewmember who wanders aimlessly in circles and never quite gets where he is going.
Hilariously incompetent or cowardly soldiers.
The NPC who has a crush on another NPC and can't quite work up the nerve to tell him or her, so instead tells every other person who wanders by about it at great length.
A group of small children playing hide-and-seek.
The wise and noble captain/king/high priest.
The wise and noble captain/king/high priest's splutteringly evil second-in-command. Nobody, including the hero, will notice the second's constant, crazed scheming until the moment when he betrays everyone to the forces of badness.
The NPC who is obsessed with his completely mundane job and witters on endlessly about how great it is. He's so thrilled by it that he wants to share it with everyone he sees, so given a quarter of a chance he'll make you do his job for him.
The (adult) NPC who has nothing better to do than play kids' games with passersby.
The group of young women who have formed a scarily obsessive fan club for one of your female party members.

Crono's Complaint
The less the main character talks, the more words are put into his mouth, and therefore the more trouble he gets into through no fault of his own.

"Silly Squall, bringing a sword to a gunfight..."
No matter what timeframe the game is set in -- past, present, or future -- the main hero and his antagonist will both use a sword for a weapon. (Therefore, you can identify your antagonist pretty easily right from the start of the game just by looking for the other guy who uses a sword.) These swords will be far more powerful than any gun and often capable of distance attacks.

Just Nod Your Head And Smile
And no matter how big that big-ass sword is, you won't stand out in a crowd. Nobody ever crosses the street to avoid you or seems to be especially shocked or alarmed when a heavily armed gang bursts into their house during dinner, rummages through their posessions, and demands to know if they've seen a black-caped man. People can get used to anything, apparently.

Aeris's Corollary
Just as the main male character will always use a sword or a variant of a sword, the main female character will always use a rod or a staff of some sort.

MacGyver Rule
Other than for the protagonists, your choice of weapons is not limited to the prosaic guns, clubs, or swords. Given appropriate skills, you can cut a bloody swath across the continent using gloves, combs, umbrellas, megaphones, dictionaries, sketching tablets -- you name it, you can kill with it. Even better, no matter how surreal your choice of armament, every store you pass will just happen to stock an even better model of it for a very reasonable price. Who else is running around the world killing people with an umbrella?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Melfice Rule)
If the male hero has an older sibling, the sibling will also be male and will turn out to be one of the major villains. If the hero has a younger sibling, the sibling will be female and will be kidnapped and held hostage by the villains.

Capitalism Is A Harsh Mistress
Once you sell something to a shopkeeper, he instantly sells it to somebody else and you will never see the item again no matter what.

Dimensional Transcendence Principle
Buildings are much, much larger on the inside than on the outside, and that doesn't even count the secret maze of tunnels behind the clock in the basement.

Local Control Rule
Although the boss monster terrorizing the first city in the game is less powerful than the non-boss monsters that are only casual nuisances to cities later in the game, nobody from the first city ever thinks of hiring a few mercenaries from the later cities to kill the monster.

Nostradamus Rule
All legends are 100% accurate. All rumors are entirely factual. All prophecies will come true, and not just someday but almost immediately.

IDKFA
The basic ammunition for any firearms your characters have is either unlimited or very, very easy to obtain. This will apply even if firearms are extremely rare.

Indestructible Weapon Rule
No matter how many times you use that sword to strike armored targets or fire that gun on full auto mode it will never break, jam or need any form of maintenance unless it is critical to the story that the weapon breaks, jams or needs maintenance.

Selective Paralysis
Your characters must always keep both feet on the ground and will be unable to climb over low rock ledges, railings, chairs, cats, slightly differently-colored ground, or any other trivial objects which may happen to be in their way. Note that this condition will not prevent your characters from jumping from railroad car to railroad car later in the game.

Bed Bed Bed
A good night's sleep will cure all wounds, diseases, and disabilities, up to and including death in battle.

You Can't Kill Me, I Quit (Seifer Rule)
The good guys never seem to get the hang of actually arresting or killing the bad guys. Minor villains are always permitted to go free so they can rest up and menace you again later -- sometimes five minutes later. Knowing this rule, you can deduce that if you do manage to kill (or force the surrender of) a bad guy, you must be getting near the end of the game.

And Now You Die, Mr. Bond! (Beatrix Rule)
Fortunately for you, the previous rule also applies in reverse. Rather than kill you when they have you at their mercy, the villains will settle for merely blasting you down to 1 hit point and leaving you in a crumpled heap while they stroll off, laughing. (This is, of course, because they're already planning ahead how they'll manipulate you into doing their bidding later in the game -- see Way To Go, Serge.)

Zap!
Most villains in RPGs possess some form of teleportation. They generally use it to materialize in front of the adventurers when they reach the Obligatory Legendary Relic Room and seize the goodies just before you can. The question "if the bad guy can teleport anywhere at any time, then why doesn't (s)he just zip in, grab the artifact, and leave before the adventurers have even finished the nerve-wracking puzzle on the third floor?" is never answered.

Heads I Win, Tails You Lose (Grahf Rule)
It doesn't matter that you won the fight with the boss monster; the evil task he was trying to carry out will still get accomplished somehow. Really, you might as well not have bothered.

Clockwork Universe Rule
No matter how hard you try to stop it, that comet or meteor will always hit the earth.

Fake Ending
There will be a sequence which pretends to be the end of the game but obviously isn't -- if for no other reason than because you're still on Disk 1 of 4.

You Die, And We All Move Up In Rank
During that fake ending, the true villain of the story will kill the guy you'd thought was the villain, just to demonstrate what a badass he (the true villain) really is. You never get to kill the fake villain yourself.

"What are we going to do tonight, Vinsfeld?"
The goal of every game (as revealed during the Fake Ending) is to Save the World from an evil figure who's trying to take it over or destroy it. There is no way to escape from this formidable task. No matter whether the protagonist's goal in life is to pay off a debt, to explore distant lands, or just to make time with that cute girl in the blue dress, it will be necessary for him to Save the World in order to accomplish it. Take heart, though -- once the world gets sorted out, everything else will fall into place almost immediately.

Zelda's Axiom
Whenever somebody tells you about "the five ancient talismans" or "the nine legendary crystals" or whatever, you can be quite confident that Saving the World will require you to go out and find every last one of them.

George W. Bush Geography Simplification Initiative
Every country in the world will have exactly one town in it, except for the country you start out in, which will have three.

Fodor's Guide Rule
In the course of your adventure you will visit one desert city, one port town, one mining town, one casino city, one magic city (usually flying), one medieval castle kingdom, one clockwork city, one martial arts-based community, one thieves' slum, one lost city and one sci-fi utopia. On the way you'll also get a chance to see the cave with rocks that glow from a natural energy source, the village populated with nonhuman characters, the peaceful village where everyone knows the latest news about the hero's quest (see Guy in the Street Rule), the snow village, the magical forest/lake/mountain, the shop in the middle of nowhere, the fantastic-looking place with lots of FMVs just showing your entrance, the subtropical jungle island populated by friendly natives, the annoying cavern maze, and a place -- any place -- that was destroyed in some past disaster.

Midgar Principle
The capital of the evil empire is always divided into two sections: a lower city slum filled with slaves and supporters of the rebellion, and an upper city filled with loyal fanatics and corrupt aristocrats.

Not Invented Here
Trade of technology will not exist. One place in the world will have all the techno-gadgets while all the others will be harvesting dirt.

Law of Cartographical Elegance
The world map always cleanly fits into a rectangular shape with no land masses that cross an edge.

¿Quien Es Mas Macho? (Fargo Rule)
Every powerful character you attempt to seek aid from will first insist upon "testing your strength" in a battle to the death.

We Had To Destroy The Village In Order To, Well, You Know The Rest (Selene Rule)
No matter what happens, never call on the government, the church, or any other massive controlling authority for help. They'll just send a brigade of soldiers to burn your entire village to the ground.

Zidane's Curse (or, Dirty Pair Rule)
An unlucky condition in which every major city in the game will coincidentally wind up being destroyed just after the hero arrives.

Maginot Line Rule
It is easy to tell which city/nation is the next conquest of the Evil Empire: its streets are filled with citizens who brag that the Empire would never dare attack them, and would be easily defeated if it tried. (This smug nationalism always fails to take into account the Empire's new superweapon.)

Short Attention Span Principle
All bookshelves contain exactly one book, which only has enough text on it to fill up half a page.

Planet of the Apes Rule
All cities and countries have ancestors that were wiped out by their technological advances.

Insomnia Rule
A "free stay at the inn" is never really free. Expect to be woken up in the middle of the night for a mandatory plot event.

The Bling-Bling Thing (Lemina Rule)
No matter how much money and treasure you acquire, the greedy member of your party will never be satisfied and won't stop griping about the sorry state of the party's finances.

I Don't Like Gears Or Fighting
There are always giant robots. Always.

Houdini's Postulate
Anyone, whether they are in the player's party or not, who is placed in any kind of prison, fortress, cell, or detention block will escape immediately. Party members will be freed either by a small child they just happened to befriend earlier in the day or by an unexpected disaster that overcomes the enemy base, NPCs will be freed by the released party members, and villains will break out all by themselves because they're such badasses. Once a person has escaped from jail, no attempt will be made by the police to recapture them in the future.

Zeigfried's Contradiction
Just because someone is weird doesn't mean they're important.

Natural Monopoly Rule
No city will have more than two shops, unless it is crucial to the story that there be a hundred vendors which you must visit in order (see You Always Travel In The Right Circles.) All of these shops will sell the same goods for the same price.

But They Don't Take American Express
Every merchant in the world -- even those living in far-off villages or hidden floating cities cut off from the outside world for centuries, even those who speak different languages or are of an entirely different species -- accepts the same currency.

Apathy Principle
Your group is the only bunch of people trying to save the world. All other would-be heroes will either join your party or else turn out to be cowards and/or con men.

The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Rule
a. Any male character who is ugly, malformed, or misshapen is either evil or so moral, spiritual, and/or wise that it's a wonder no one's proposed him for sainthood yet.
b. Any male character who has a physical disfiguration that doesn't seem to impede him (i.e. a prominent scar across the face or a bad eye) is evil, unless he is the male lead, since scars are cool and no other good guy can be as cool as the hero. An exception is made for characters who are clearly ancient, and therefore automatically not as cool as the young hero.
c. Any female character who is ugly, malformed, mishapen, or physically disfigured is evil, since all good female characters are there to be potentially seduced by the male lead -- see Know Your Audience.

Henchman Quota (Nana, Saki, and Mio Rule)
One of your antagonists will have three lovably incompetent stooges whom you fight over and over again. Although they're trusted with their boss's most important plans and equipment, they will screw up repeatedly, argue incessantly among themselves, blab secret information, and generally only come out victorious when their job was to be a diversion or a delaying tactic. A high point of the game will come when the True Villain reveals himself and you're able to convince the stooges you're all on the same side. They won't help you out any more successfully than they helped the antagonist, but at least you won't have to fight them any more.

Thousand Year Rule
The Ancient Evil returns to savage the land every thousand years on the dot, and the last time it showed up was just about 999.9875 years ago. Despite their best efforts, heroes of the past were never able to do more than seal the Evil away again for the future to deal with (which brings up the question of just how exactly does this "sealing away" work anyway, but never mind.) The good news is that this time, the Evil will get destroyed permanently. The bad news is that you're the one who's going to have to do it.

Principle of Narrative Efficiency
If the main villain (or the enemy you've been trying to kill for most of the game before he summons the real final villain) was ever defeated in the past by another group of adventurers, one of them will secretly be in your party and one of them will be the hero's father.

Ayn Rand's Revenge
Outside the major cities, there is no government whatsoever. Of course, perhaps that explains why it's so difficult and dangerous to get anywhere outside the major cities.

First Law of Travel
Anything can become a vehicle -- castles, cities, military academies, you name it -- so do not be alarmed when the stones of the ancient fortress you are visiting shake underfoot and the whole thing lifts off into the sky. As a corollary, anything is capable of flight if it would be cool, aeronautics or even basic physics be damned.

Second Law of Travel
There will be only one of any non-trivial type of vehicle in the entire world. Thus, only one ocean-capable steamboat, only one airship, and so forth. Massive facilities will have been constructed all over the world to service this one vehicle.

Third Law of Travel
The only way to travel by land between different areas of a continent will always be through a single narrow pass in a range of otherwise impenetrable mountains. Usually a palace or monastery will have been constructed in the pass, entirely filling it, so that all intracontinental traffic is apparently required to abandon their vehicles and go on foot up stairs and through the barracks, library and throne room to get to the other side. This may explain why most people just stay home. (In some cases a cave or underground tunnel may be substituted for the palace or monastery, but it will still be just as inconvenient with the added bonuses of cave-ins and nonsensical elevator puzzles.)

Fourth Law of Travel
Three out of every four vehicles you ride on will eventually sink, derail or crash in some spectacular manner.

Fifth Law of Travel
All vehicles can be driven or piloted by anyone. The main character just needs to find out where the bridge or steering wheel is, as he already knows all of the controls.

Sixth Law of Travel
Nobody gets to own a cooler ride than you. If you ever do see a cooler vehicle than the one you've got now, at some point before the end of the game you will either take over this vehicle, get something even bigger and better, or else see it destroyed in a glorious blaze.

Seventh Law of Travel
When on a voyage to another continent, the journey will last only as long as it takes you to talk to all the other passengers and the captain.

Eighth Law of Travel
There are no shortcuts, ever -- unless you are forced to take them, in which case they will be much longer and more dangerous than your original route.

Last Law of Travel (Big Joe Rule)
As has been described, you must endure great trials just to get from town to town: locating different vehicles, operating ancient transport mechanisms, evading military blockades, the list goes on. But that's just you. Every other character in the game seems to have no trouble getting to any place in the world on a moment's notice.

If You Meet The Buddha In A Random Encounter, Kill Him!
When you're out wandering around the world, you must kill everything you meet. People, animals, plants, insects, fire hydrants, small cottages, anything and everything is just plain out to get you. It may be because of your rampant kleptomania (see Garrett's Principle.)

Law of Numbers
There will be several items or effects which depend on the numerical value of your hit points, level, etc., which makes no sense unless the characters can see all the numbers in their world and find it perfectly normal that a spell only works on a monster whose level is a multiple of 5.

Magical Inequality Theorem
In the course of your travels you may find useful-sounding spells such as Petrify, Silence, and Instant Death. However, you will end up never using these spells in combat because a) all ordinary enemies can be killed with a few normal attacks, making fancy attacks unneccessary, b) all bosses and other stronger-than-average monsters are immune to those effects so there's no point in using them for long fights where they'd actually come in handy, and c) the spells usually don't work anyway.

Magical Inequality Corollary
When the enemy uses Petrify, Silence, Instant Death, et cetera spells on you, they will be effective 100% of the time.

Pretty Line Syndrome (or, Crash Bandicoot: The RPG)
Seen in most modern RPGs. The key to completing your quest is to walk forward in a straight line for fifty hours, stopping along the way to look at, kill, and/or have meaningful conversations with various pretty things.

Xenobiology Rule
The predatory species of the world will include representatives of all of the following: giant spiders, giant scorpions, giant snakes, giant beetles, wolves, squid, fish that float in midair, gargoyles, golems, carnivorous plants, chimeras, griffons, cockatrices, hydras, minotaurs, burrowing things with big claws, things that can paralyse you, things that can put you to sleep, things that can petrify you, at least twenty different creatures with poisonous tentacles, and dragons. Always dragons.

Friendly Fire Principle (or, Final Fantasy Tactics Rule)
Any attack that can target both allies and enemies will hit half of your allies and none of your enemies.

Dungeon Design 101
There's always goodies hidden behind the waterfall.

Dungeon Design 102
When you are confronted by two doors, the closer one will be locked and its key will be hidden behind the farther-away one.

Dungeon Design 103 (or, Wallpaper Warning)
Your progress through a dungeon will be indicated by a sudden change in decor: different wall color, different torches on the wall, et cetera.

Dungeon Design 201 (or, The Interior Decorators Anticipated Your Out-Of-Body Experience)
Most dungeons will include "hidden" passages which are nearly impossible to see from a bird's-eye view, yet would be blaringly obvious from the party's perspective.

Dungeon Design 301
All "puzzles" in RPG dungeons can be sorted into one of the following types:

finding some small item and sticking it into a slot;
pushing blocks (rocks, statues) onto switches;
pulling switches or levers to open and close doors;
learning the correct order/position of a group of objects;
entering a certain combination of doors;
something involving a clock or elevator;
something that is unsolvable because a vital clue in the dialogue was mistranslated out of Japanese.

Wait! That Was A Load-Bearing Boss!
Defeating a dungeon's boss creature will frequently cause the dungeon to collapse, which is nonsensical but does make for thrilling escape scenes.

Supply and Demand Axiom
Killing a powerful enemy will usually yield an item or weapon that would've been extremely useful if you had gotten it before killing that enemy.

Edison's Lament
No switch is ever in the right position.

Well, That About Wraps It Up For God
All major deities, assuming they actually exist and weren't just made up by the Church to delude its followers, are in reality malevolent and will have to be destroyed. The only exception to this rule is the four nature spirits who have preserved the land since time immemorial, but now due to the folly of mankind have lost virtually all of their power and need you to accomplish some ludicrous task to save them.

Guy in the Street Rule
No matter how fast you travel, rumors of world events always travel faster. When you get to anywhere, the people on the street are already talking about where you've been. The stories of your past experiences will spread even if no witnesses were around to see them.

Wherever You Go, There They Are
Wherever the characters go, the villains can always find them. Chances are they're asking the guy in the street (see above). But don't worry -- despite being able to find the characters with ease anytime they want to, the bad guys never get rid of them by simply blowing up the tent or hotel they're spending the night in. (Just think of it: the screen dims, the peaceful going-to-sleep-now music plays, then BOOM! Game Over!)

Figurehead Rule
Whenever someone asks you a question to decide what to do, it's just to be polite. He or she will ask the question again and again until you answer "correctly."

Puddin' Tame Rule
The average passer-by will always say the same thing no matter how many times you talk to them, and they certainly won't clarify any of the vaguely worded warnings or cryptic half-sentences they threw at you the previous time.

Franklin Covey Was Wrong, Wrong, Wrong
Sticking to the task at hand and going directly from place to place and goal to goal is always a bad idea, and may even prevent you from being able to finish the game. It's by dawdling around, completing side quests and giving money to derelicts that you come into your real power.

Selective Invulnerability Principle
RPG characters are immune from such mundane hazards as intense heat, freezing cold, or poison gas... except when they're suddenly not. Surprise!

I'm the NRA (Billy Lee Black Rule)
Opposition to gun control is probably the only thing you could get all RPG characters to agree upon. Even deep religious faith and heartfelt pacifism can't compete with the allure of guns.

Three Females Rule
There will always be either one or three female characters in the hero's party, no matter how many male characters there are.

Experience Not Required
When the main character is forced to do some complex or dangerous task for the first time, even though he has never done it before he will still always be better than the oldest veteran.

Law of Reverse Evolution (Zeboim Principle)
Any ancient civilizations are inexplicably much more advanced than the current one.

Science-Magic Equivalence (Citan Rule)
Although mages' specialty is magic and scientists' specialty is technology, these skills are completely interchangeable.

Law of Productive Gullibility (Ruby Rule)
Whenever anybody comes up to you with a patently ludicrous claim (such as, "I'm not a cat, I'm really an ancient Red Dragon") there's an at least two-thirds chance they're telling the truth. Therefore, it pays to humor everyone you meet; odds are you'll be glad you did later on.

Perversity Principle
If you're unsure about what to do next, ask all the townspeople nearby. They will either all strongly urge you to do something, in which case you must immediately go out and do that thing, or else they will all strongly warn you against doing something, in which case you must immediately go out and do that thing.

Near-Death Epiphany (Fei Rule)
If the party is not dealing damage to a boss character, then there's a better-than-even chance that someone in the party will suddenly become enlightened and instantly acquire the offensive skill that can blow the creature away in a matter of seconds.

Wutai Rule
Most RPGs, no matter what their mythology, include a land based on ancient Japan. Full of pagodas, shrines, shoguns, kitsune, and sushi, this completely anachronistic place is the source of the entire world's supply of ninja and samurai characters.

Law of Mooks
Soldiers and guards working for the Evil Empire are, as a rule, sloppy, cowardly and incompetent. Members of the heroic Resistance Faction are, as a rule, dreadfully weak and undertrained and will be wiped out to the last man the moment they come in contact with the enemy.

Law of Traps
No matter how obvious the trap, you can't complete the game unless you fall into it.

Arbor Day Rule
At some point, you're going to have to talk to a tree and do what it says.

You Do Not Talk About Fight Club
Any fighting tournament or contest of skill you hear about, you will eventually be forced to enter and win.

Invisible Bureaucracy Rule
Other than the royal family, its shifty advisor, and the odd mad scientist, the only government employees you will ever encounter in the course of your adventure are either guards or kitchen staff.

The Miracle of Automation
Similarily, any factory, power plant, or other facility that you visit during the course of the game will be devoid of any human life except for the occasional guards. There will not be a single line worker or maintenance person in sight.

Principle of Archaeological Convenience
Every ancient machine you find will work perfectly the first time you try to use it and every time thereafter. Even if its city got blasted into ruins and the machine was then sunk to the bottom of the sea and buried in mud for ten thousand years, it'll still work fine. The unfortunate corollary to this rule is that ancient guardian creatures will also turn out to be working perfectly when you try to filch their stuff.

They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To (Cid Rule)
Modern-day machinery, by contrast, will always break down at the worst possible moment (for example, when you only need one more shot from the giant cannon to defeat the final boss.)

Place Transvestite Joke Here (Miss Cloud Rule)
If the male lead is required to dress up like a girl for any reason, he will be regarded by everyone as much more attractive than any "real" girl. If the female lead cross-dresses as a man, she will be immediately recognized as who she is by everyone except the male lead and the main villain.

Make Room! Make Room!
There are always more people in a town or village than there are houses for them to live in. Most of the village is made up of shops, temples, bars, secret passages, inns, and the mansion that belongs to the richest man in town.

Law of Scientific Gratification
If the hero needs a new invention to progress, he will find out that somewhere in the world someone has spent his or her entire life perfecting this invention, and usually just needs one more key item located in a monster-infested dungeon before it is completed.

You Always Travel In The Right Circles
Whenever you meet a villager or other such incidental character who promises to give you some great piece of needed knowledge or a required object in exchange for a seemingly simple item, such as a bar of soap or a nice straw mat, be prepared to spend at least an hour chasing around the world exchanging useless innocuous item after item with bizarre strangers until you can get that elusive first item you were asked for.

Talk Is Cheap Rule
Nothing is ever solved by diplomacy or politics in the world of RPGs. Any declarations of peace, summits and treaty negotiations are traps to fool the ever so gullible Good Guys into thinking the war is over, or to brainwash the remaining leaders of the world.

Stop Your Life (Setzer Rule)
No matter what kind of exciting, dynamic life a character was leading before joining your party, once there they will be perfectly content to sit and wait on the airship until you choose to use them.

Don't Stand Out
Any townsperson who is dressed oddly or otherwise doesn't fit in with the rest of the townsfolk will either:

Join your party after you complete some task,
Be in the employ of your enemy, or
Befriend any female member of the party, and then be immediately captured and held hostage by the villains.

Little Nemo Law
If any sleeping character has a dream, that dream will be either a 100% accurate memory of the past, a 100% accurate psychic sending from the present, a 100% accurate prophetic vision of the future, or a combination of two or all three of these.

Child Protection Act (Rydia Rule)
Children 12 and under are exempt from death. They will emerge alive from cataclysms that slaughter hundreds of sturdily-built adults, often with barely a scratch. Further protection is afforded if the catastrophe will orphan the child.

Missing Master Hypothesis
Almost every strong physical fighter learned everything he/she knows from some old master or friend. Invariably, the master or friend has since turned evil, been killed, or disappeared without a trace.

Missing Master Corollary (Sabin Rule)
If a fighter's master merely disappeared, you will undoubtedly find him/her at some point in your travels. The master will challenge the student to a duel, after which the student will be taught one final skill that the master had been holding back for years.

Gojira Axiom
Giant monsters capable of leveling cities all have the following traits:

Low intelligence
Enormous strength
Projectile attacks
Gigantic teeth and claws, designed, presumably, to eat other giant monsters
Vulnerable to weapons 1/10,000th its size
Ecologically sensitive

"You Couldn't Get To Sleep Either, Huh?"
If any character in the game ever meets any other character standing alone at night looking at the moon, those two will eventually fall in love.

Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely (Althena Rule)
If a good guy is manipulated to the side of evil, they will suddenly find a new inner strength that will enable them to wipe out your whole party with a wave of their hand.

All Is Forgiven (Nash Rule)
However, when the trusted member of your party turns against you, do not give it a second thought. They will return to your side after they're done with their amnesia/mind control/hidden noble goal that caused them to give away all your omnipotent mystical artifacts.

First Law of Fashion
All characters wear a single costume which does not change over the course of the game. The only exception is when characters dress up in enemy uniforms to infiltrate their base.

Second Law of Fashion
Any character's costume, no matter how skimpy, complicated, or simply outlandish, is always completely suitable to wear when climbing around in caves, hiking across the desert, and slogging through the sewers. It will continue to be completely suitable right afterwards when said character goes to meet the King.

Third Law of Fashion
In any futuristic setting, the standard uniform for female soldiers and special agents will include a miniskirt and thigh-high stockings. The standard uniform for all male characters, military or not, will include an extraordinarily silly and enormous hat.

First Rule of Politics (Chancellor's Axiom)
Any advisor of a major ruler has been scheming after his throne for quite a while. Thanks to the miracle of timing, you will arrive at the king's inner sanctum just in time for the coup.

Second Rule of Politics (Scapegoat's Axiom)
If the advisor works for an evil ruler, the advisor is as bad or even worse, and there's a good chance he's the final villain. (See Fake Ending Rule.) If the advisor works for a good ruler, he usually has the good of the kingdom at heart; not that that helps, because your party will invariably be made the scapegoat for all that's wrong with the nation and immediately thrown in the dungeon.

Last Rule of Politics
Kingdoms are good. Empires are evil.

Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics (Ramus Rule)
Twenty-three generations may pass, but any person's direct descendant will still look and act just like him.

Pinch Hitter Rule
Whenever a member of the hero's team is killed or retires, no matter how unique or special he or she was there is a good chance someone will show up to replace them that has exactly the same abilities and can use the same weapons with the same proficiency.

Dealing With Beautiful Women, Part 1 (Yuffie Rule)
All good-looking young females are there to help you. This rule holds even when the girl in question is annoying, useless, or clearly evil.

Dealing With Beautiful Women, Part 2 (Rouge Rule)
All good-looking middle-aged females are out to kill you. This rule holds even when the woman in question has attained your unwavering trust and respect.

Well, So Much For That
After you have completed your mighty quest to find the object that will save the known universe, it will either a) get lost, b) get stolen, or c) not work.

The Ominous Ring of Land
The classic Ominous Ring of Land is a popular terrain feature that frequently doesn't show up on your world map. Just when you think things are going really well and you've got the Forces of Evil on the run, monsters, demons and mad gods will pour out of the center of the ring and the situation will get ten times worse. The main villain also usually hangs out in one of these after attaining godhood. If there are several Ominous Rings of Land or the entire world map is one big ring, you are just screwed.

Law of NPC Relativity (Magus Rule)
Characters can accomplish superhuman physical feats, defeat enemies with one hand tied behind their back and use incredible abilities -- until they join your party and you can control them. Then these wonderful powers all vanish, along with most of their hit points.

Guards! Guards! (or, Lindblum Full Employment Act)
Everything will be guarded and gated (elevators, docks, old rickety bridges, random stretches of roadway deep in the forest) except for the stuff that actually needs to be.

Thank You For Pressing The Self-Destruct Button
All enemy installations and city-sized military vehicles will be equipped with a conveniently located, easy-to-operate self-destruct mechanism.

Falling Rule
An RPG character can fall any distance onto anything without suffering anything worse than brief unconsciousness. In fact, falling a huge distance is an excellent cure for otherwise fatal wounds -- anyone who you see shot, stabbed, or mangled and then tossed off a cliff is guaranteed to return later in the game with barely a scratch.

Materials Science 101
Gold, silver, and other precious metals make excellent weapons and armor even though in the real world they are too soft and heavy to use for that purpose. In fact, they work so well that nobody ever melts their solid gold suit of armor down into bullion, sells it, and retires to a tropical isle on the proceeds.

Materials Science 201
Everyone you meet will talk enthusiastically about how some fantastically rare metal (iron, say) would make the best possible armor and weapons. Oh, if only you could get your hands on some! However, once you actually obtain iron -- at great personal risk, of course -- everyone will dismiss it as yesterday's news and instead start talking about some even more fantastically rare metal, such as gold. Repeat until you get to the metal after "mythril" (see The Ultimate Rule.)

Seventh Inning Stretch (Elc Rule)
At some point in the game the main hero will receive a deadly story-driven injury and will be put in a hospital instead of having a mage heal him. This will leave him out of commission for at least the length of two sidequests; the female lead will also be temporarily out of commission as she steadfastly refuses to leave the hero's side. Ultimately a simple vision quest is all that will be required to bring the hero back to normal.

Vivi's Spellbook Principle
Over the course of the game, you will spend countless hours learning between twenty and one hundred skills and/or spells, approximately three of which will still be useful by the end of the game.

Gender Equality, Part 1 (Feena Rule)
Your average female RPG character carries a variety of deadly weapons and can effortlessly hack or magic her way through armies of monsters, killer cyborgs, and mutated boss creatures without breaking a sweat. She may be an accomplished ninja, a superpowered secret agent, or the world's greatest adventurer. However, if one of the game's villains manages to sneak up and grab her by the Standard Female Character Grab Area (her upper arm) she will be rendered utterly helpless until rescued by the hero.

Gender Equality, Part 2 (Tifa Rule)
If any female character, in a burst of anger or enthusiasm, decides to go off and accomplish something on her own without the hero, she will fail miserably and again have to be rescued.

Gender Equality, Part 3 (Luna Rule)
All of the effort you put into maxing out the female lead's statistics and special abilities will turn out to be for naught when she spends the final confrontation with the villain dead, ensorcelled, or held hostage.

Gender Equality Addendum (Rynn Rule)
In the unlikely event that the main character of the game is female, she will not be involved in any romantic subplot whatsoever beyond getting hit on by shopkeepers.

Stealing The Spotlight (Edea Rule)
The characters who join your party only briefly tend to be much cooler than your regular party members.

"Mommy, why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris?"
Don't expect battle mechanics to carry over into the "real world."

Gold Saucer Rule
The strongest weapons/items/spells in the entire game can only be found by doing things like racing birds.

Evil May Live Forever, But It Doesn't Age Well
Even though it took the greatest armies in the world and all of the world's greatest magicians to seal away an ancient evil in an apocalyptic war, once said ancient evil breaks free three fairly inexperienced warriors can destroy it.

Sephiroth Memorial Escape Clause
Any misdeed up to and including multiple genocide is forgiveable if you're cool enough.

Doomed Utopia Theorem (Law of Zeal)
All seemingly ideal, utopian societies are powered by some dark force and are therefore doomed to swift, flashy destruction.

Party Guidance Rule
Somewhere in the last third of the story, the hero will make a stupid decision and the rest of the party must remind him of all that they have learned from being with him in order to return the hero to normal.

Bad Is Good, Baby!
The heroes can always count on the support of good-hearted vampires, dragons, thieves, demons, and chainsaw murderers in their quest to save the world from evil. And on the other hand...

Good Is Bad, Baby!
Watch out for generous priests, loyal military officers, and basically anyone in a position of authority who agrees to help you out, especially if they save your life and prove their sincerity innumerable times -- they're usually plotting your demise in secret (at least when they can fit it into their busy schedule of betraying their country, sponsoring international terrorism, and stealing candy from small children) and will stab you in the back at the most inconvenient moment, unless they fall under...

General Leo's Exception
Honorable and sympathetic people who work for the Other Side are always the genuine article. Of course they'll be busily stabbing you in the front, so either way you lose. Eventually though, they'll fall prey to...

The Ineffectual Ex-Villain Theorem (Col. Mullen Rule)
No matter how tough and bad-ass one of the Other Side's henchmen is, if he bails to the side of Good he'll turn out to be not quite tough and bad-ass enough. The main villain will defeat him easily. But don't weep -- usually he'll manage to escape just in time, leaving you to deal with the fate that was meant for him.

All The Time In The World (Rinoa Rule)
Unless there's a running countdown clock right there on the screen, you have as long as you want to complete any task -- such as, say, rescuing a friend who's hanging by one hand from a slippery cliff edge thousands of feet in the air -- no matter how incredibly urgent it is. Dawdle or hurry as you will, you'll always make it just in the nick of time.

Ladies First (Belleza Rule)
When things really start falling apart, the villain's attractive female henchman will be the first to jump ship and switch to the side of Good. Sadly, she still won't survive until the end credits, because later she will sacrifice her life out of unrequited love for the villain.

Trial By Fire (Cecil Rule)
Any dark and brooding main characters will ultimately be redeemed by a long, ardous, quasi-spiritual quest that seems difficult at the time, but in the great scheme of things just wasn't that big of a deal after all.

Key Item Rule
Never discard, sell, or otherwise remove permamently from your possession any items you begin the game with or acquire within the first town. This is especially true for items that seem to have no practical use, because of...

The Law of Inverse Practicality (Key Item Corollary)
Any item that you can acquire will have some sort of purpose. Those that seem to be useless and have no practical value at all, always tend to have great power later on. The earlier you get the item, the later in the game it will be used. The longer the span of time between acquisition and use, the more powerful the item is.

Way To Go, Serge
It will eventually turn out that, for a minimum of the first sixty percent of the game, you were actually being manipulated by the forces of evil into doing their sinister bidding for them. In extreme cases this may go as high as 90%. The clear implication is that it would have been better to not get involved in the first place.

Gilligan's Prescription
Any character who has amnesia will be cured before the end of the game. They usually won't like what they find out about themselves, though.

Luke, I Am Your Tedious, Overused Plot Device (Lynx Rule)
If there is any chance whatsoever that major villain X could be the male lead's father, then it will turn out that major villain X is the male lead's father.

World of Mild Inconvenience
The devastating plague, noxious gas, planet-obliterating meteor or other large-scale disaster that led to the death of millions will affect your party (and your party's friends and family members) in no way whatsoever, save that a few party members may become lost and you can find them later.

Golden Chocobo Principle
There will be at least one supremely ultimate improvement for your weapon or some way to make your trusted steed capable of going anywhere and doing anything, requiring hours and hours of hard work to acquire. Once you do achieve this, you will use it once, and it will be completely useless for the rest of the game.

Golden Chocobo Corollary
The magic formula for acquiring this supreme upgrade will be only vaguely alluded to in the game itself. Ideally, you're supposed to shell out $19.95 for the strategy guide instead.

Flow of Goods Rule
The quality of goods in the world is dependent upon the shop's distance from the final dungeon. It doesn't matter if the town you start in has a huge thriving economy and is the center of world trade, it will always have the game's worst equipment; and even if that village near the end is isolated and has only three people in it, it will have the game's best equipment.

Master Key Rule
Any and all locked doors that the characters encounter will be unlocked by the end of the game.

"Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb!"
If the villain needs all ten legendary medallions to attain world domination and you have nine of them, everybody in your party still thinks it is neccessary to bring the nine to the villain's castle and get the final one, instead of hiding the ones they've already got and spoiling his plans that way. After you foolishly bring the legendary medallions to the villain's hideout, he will kidnap one of your companions (usually the main love interest) and you will trade the world away to rescue your friend.

Dark Helmet's Corollary
After you give up the medallions to save your friend/parent/lover/other miscellaneous party member, don't expect to actually get that person back. Sucker!

It's Not My Department, Says Wernher Von Braun
All space stations, flying cities, floating continents and so forth will without exception either be blown up or crash violently to earth before the end of the game.

The Best-Laid Schemes
The final villain's grand scheme will have involved the deaths of thousands or even millions of innocent people, the clever manipulation of governments, armies, and entire populations, and will have taken anywhere from five to five thousand years to come to fruition. The hero will come up with a method of undoing this plan forever in less than five minutes.

Pyrrhic Victory
By the time you've gotten it in gear, dealt with your miscellaneous personal crises and are finally ready to go Save the World once and for all, nine-tenths of it will already have been destroyed. Still, you've got to give your all to save the remaining one-tenth.

Poetic Villain Principle (Kefka Rule)
All villains will suddenly become poets, philisophers, and/or dramatic actors when a) they first meet the hero, b) they are about to win or their evil plan is finally ready, c) some major event in the game is about to begin, d) right before the final battle, and e) right before they die, when they will frequently be feeling generous enough to reward you with some homespun wisdom about making the most of life while you have it.

Compression of Time
As you approach the final confrontation with the villain, events will become increasingly awkward, contrived and disconnected from one another -- almost as if some cosmic Author was running up against a deadline and had to slap together the ending at the last minute.

Adam Smith's Revenge
By the end of the game you are renowned everywhere as the Legendary Heroes, every surviving government and authority figure has rallied behind you, the fate of the world is obviously hanging in the balance, and out of nowhere random passers-by give you a pat on the back and heartfelt good luck wishes. However, shopkeepers won't even give you a discount, much less free supplies for the final battle with evil.

Adam Smith's Corollary
No matter how thoroughly devastated the continent/planet/universe is, there's always some shopkeeper who survived the end of the world and sits outside the gates of the villain's castle, selling the most powerful equipment in the game, like nothing ever happened.

The Long Arm of the Plot
Any bad guys, no matter how far they run, will always end up in one of two ways by the end of the game: obviously dead, or on your side. There is no in-between.

Apocalypse Any Time Now
The best time to do side quests is while the huge meteor hovers in the sky above the planet, waiting to fall and destroy the world.

"So, Andross, you reveal your true form!"
You will have to kill the evil villain at least twice at the end of the game. First the villain will look like a person or some creature and be rather easy to kill. Then he will grow to about 50 times the hero's size and be much harder to kill.

In Your Face, Jesus!
Even if you manage to deal with him that time, you're not done -- the villain will then transform into his final form, which is always an angelic winged figure with background music remixed for ecstatic chorus and pipe organ.

The Moral Of The Story (Ghaleon Rule)
Every problem in the universe can be solved by finding the right long-haired prettyboy and beating the crap out of him.

Weapon Rule
There's always a hidden creature who is much harder to defeat than even the ultimate bad guy's final, world-annihilating form. It's lucky for all concerned that this hidden creature prefers to stay hidden rather than trying to take over the world himself, because he'd probably win. As a corollary, whatever reward you get for killing the hidden creature is basically worthless because by the time you're powerful enough to defeat him, you don't need it any more.

The Ultimate Rule
Anything called "Ultima (whatever)" or "Ultimate (whatever)" isn't. There's always at least one thing somewhere in the world which is even more.

Know Your Audience (Vyse Rule)
Every woman in the game will find the male lead incredibly attractive.

The Grand List Of Console Role Playing Game Clichés

2008-08-18T07:24:00.000+08:00

Sleepyhead Rule The teenaged male lead will begin the first day of the game by oversleeping, being woken up by his mother, and being reminded that he's slept in so late he missed meeting his girlfriend. "No! My beloved peasant village!" The hero's home town, city, slum, or planet will usually be annihilated in a spectacular fashion before the end of the game, and often before the end of the opening scene. Thinking With The Wrong Head (Hiro Rule) No matter what she's accused of doing or how mysterious her origins are, the hero will always be ready to fight to the death for any girl he met three seconds ago. Cubic Zirconium Corollary The aforementioned mysterious girl will be wearing a pendant that will ultimately prove to be the key to either saving the world or destroying it. Logan's Run Rule RPG characters are young. Very young. The average age seems to be 15, unless the character is a decorated and battle-hardened soldier, in which case he might even be as old as 18. Such teenagers often have skills with multiple weapons and magic, years of experience, and never ever worry about their parents telling them to come home from adventuring before bedtime. By contrast, characters more than twenty-two years old will cheerfully refer to themselves as washed-up old fogies and be eager to make room for the younger generation. Single Parent RuleRPG characters with two living parents are almost unheard of. As a general rule, male characters will only have a mother, and female characters will only have a father. The missing parent either vanished mysteriously and traumatically several years ago or is never referred to at all. Frequently the main character's surviving parent will also meet an awkward end just after the story begins, thus freeing him of inconvenient filial obligations. Some Call Me... Tim? Good guys will only have first names, and bad guys will only have last names. Any bad guy who only has a first name will become a good guy at some point in the game. Good guys' last names may be mentioned in the manual but they will never be referred to in the story. Nominal Rule Any character who actually has a name is important in some way and must be sought out. However, if you are referred to as a part of a posessive noun ("Crono's Mom") then you are superfluous. The Compulsories There's always a fire dungeon, an ice dungeon, a sewer maze, a misty forest, a derelict ghost ship, a mine, a glowing crystal maze, an ancient temple full of traps, a magic floating castle, and a technological dungeon. Luddite Rule (or, George Lucas Rule) Speaking of which, technology is inherently evil and is the exclusive province of the Bad Guys. They're the ones with the robots, factories, cyberpunk megalopolises and floating battle stations, while the Good Guys live in small villages in peaceful harmony with nature. (Although somehow your guns and/or heavily armed airships are exempted from this.) Let's Start From The Very Beginning (Yuna Rule) Whenever there is a sequel to an RPG that features the same main character as the previous game, that character will always start with beginner skills. Everything that they learned in the previous game will be gone, as will all their ultra-powerful weapons and equipment. Poor Little Rich Hero (Meis Rule) If the hero comes from a rich and powerful family, it will have fallen on hard times and be broke and destitute by the time the game actually starts. The Higher The Hair, The Closer To God (Cloud Rule) The more outrageous his hairstyle, the more important a male character is to the story. Garrett's PrincipleLet's not mince words: you're a thief. You can walk into just about anybody's house like the door wasn't even locked. You just barge right in and start looking for stuff. Anything you can find that's not nailed down is yours to keep. You will often walk into perfect strangers' houses, lift their precious artifacts, and then chat with them like you were old neighbors as you head back out with their family heirlooms under your arm. Unfortunately, this never works in stores. Hey, I Know You! You will accumulate at least three of these obligatory party members: The spunky princess who is rebelling against her royal parent and is in love with the hero.The demure, soft-spoken female mage and healing magic specialist who is not only in love with the hero, but is also the last survivor of an ancient race.The tough-as-nails female warrior who is not in love with the hero (note that this is the only female character in the game who is not in love with the hero and will therefore be indicated as such by having a spectacular scar, a missing eye, cyborg limbs or some other physical deformity -- see The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Rule.)The achingly beautiful gothy swordsman who is riven by inner tragedy.The big, tough, angry guy who, deep down, is a total softy.The hero's best friend, who is actually much cooler than the hero.The grim, selfish mercenary who over the course of the game learns what it means to really care about other people.The character who is actually a spy for the bad guys but will instantly switch to your side when you find out about it.The weird bonus character who requires a bizarre series of side quests to make them effective (with the ultimate result that no player ever uses this character if it can be avoided.)The nauseatingly cute mascot who is useless in all battles. Hey, I Know You, Too! You will also confront/be confronted by at least three of these obligatory antagonists: The amazingly good-looking and amazingly evil long-haired prettyboy who may or may not be the ultimate villain.The villain's loyal right-hand man, who comes in two versions: humorously incompetent or annoyingly persistent.The villain's attractive female henchman, who is the strongest and most competent soldier in the army but always lets the party escape because she's, yes, fallen in love with the hero.Your former ally who supposedly "died" and was forgotten about, until much later in the game when he/she shows up again on the villain's side and full of bitterness.The irritatingly honorable foe whom you never get to kill because, upon discovering the true nature of his superiors, he either nobly sacrifices himself or joins your party.The insane clown or jester who will turn out to be surprisingly difficult to subdue.The mad scientist who likes creating mutated creatures and powerful weapons 'cause it's fun (and also handy if uninvited adventurers show up.)The adorably cute li'l creature or six year old child who fights you and, inexplicably, kicks your butt time after time. Hey, I Know You, Three! Furthermore, expect to encounter most of the following obligatory non-player chararcters (NPCs): The townsperson or crewmember who wanders aimlessly in circles and never quite gets where he is going.Hilariously incompetent or cowardly soldiers.The NPC who has a crush on another NPC and can't quite work up the nerve to tell him or her, so instead tells every other person who wanders by about it at great length.A group of small children playing hide-and-seek.The wise and noble captain/king/high priest.The wise and noble captain/king/high priest's splutteringly evil second-in-command. Nobody, including the hero, will notice the second's constant, crazed scheming until the moment when he betrays everyone to the forces of badness.The NPC who is obsessed with his completely mundane job and witters on endlessly about how great it is. He's so thrilled by it that he wants to share it with everyone he sees, so given a quarter of a chance he'll make you do his job for him.The (adult) NPC who has nothing better to do than play kids' games with passersby.The group of young women who have formed a scarily obsessive fan club for one of your female party members. Crono's Complaint The less the main character talks, the more words are put into his mouth, and therefore the more trouble he gets into through no fault of his own. "Silly Squall, bringing a sword to a gunfight..."No matter what timeframe the game is set in -- past, present, or future -- the main hero and his antagonist will both use a sword for a weapon. (Therefore, you can identify your antagonist pretty easily right from the start of the game just by looking for the other guy who uses a sword.) These swords will be far more powerful than any gun and often capable of distance attacks. Just Nod Your Head And Smile And no matter how big that big-ass sword is, you won't stand out in a crowd. Nobody ever crosses the street to avoid you or seems to be especially shocked or alarmed when a heavily armed gang bursts into their house during dinner, rummages through their posessions, and demands to know if they've seen a black-caped man. People can get used to anything, apparently. Aeris's Corollary Just as the main male character will always use a sword or a variant of a sword, the main female character will always use a rod or a staff of some sort. MacGyver Rule Other than for the protagonists, your choice of weapons is not limited to the prosaic guns, clubs, or swords. Given appropriate skills, you can cut a bloody swath across the continent using gloves, combs, umbrellas, megaphones, dictionaries, sketching tablets -- you name it, you can kill with it. Even better, no matter how surreal your choice of armament, every store you pass will just happen to stock an even better model of it for a very reasonable price. Who else is running around the world killing people with an umbrella? O Brother, Where Art Thou? (Melfice Rule) If the male hero has an older sibling, the sibling will also be male and will turn out to be one of the major villains. If the hero has a younger sibling, the sibling will be female and will be kidnapped and held hostage by the villains. Capitalism Is A Harsh MistressOnce you sell something to a shopkeeper, he instantly sells it to somebody else and you will never see the item again no matter what. Dimensional Transcendence PrincipleBuildings are much, much larger on the inside than on the outside, and that doesn't even count the secret maze of tunnels behind the clock in the basement. Local Control RuleAlthough the boss monster terrorizing the first city in the game is less powerful than the non-boss monsters that are only casual nuisances to cities later in the game, nobody from the first city ever thinks of hiring a few mercenaries from the later cities to kill the monster. Nostradamus RuleAll legends are 100% accurate. All rumors are entirely factual. All prophecies will come true, and not just someday but almost immediately. IDKFAThe basic ammunition for any firearms your characters have is either unlimited or very, very easy to obtain. This will apply even if firearms are extremely rare. Indestructible Weapon RuleNo matter how many times you use that sword to strike armored targets or fire that gun on full auto mode it will never break, jam or need any form of maintenance unless it is critical to the story that the weapon breaks, jams or needs maintenance. Selective ParalysisYour characters must always keep both feet on the ground and will be unable to climb over low rock ledges, railings, chairs, cats, slightly differently-colored ground, or any other trivial objects which may happen to be in their way. Note that this condition will not prevent your characters from jumping from railroad car to railroad car later in the game. Bed Bed Bed A good night's sleep will cure all wounds, diseases, and disabilities, up to and including death in battle. You Can't Kill Me, I Quit (Seifer Rule)The good guys never seem to get the hang of actually arresting or killing the bad guys. Minor villains are always permitted to go free so they can rest up and menace you again later -- sometimes five minutes later. Knowing this rule, you can deduce that if you do manage to kill (or force the surrender of) a bad guy, you must be getting near the end of the game. And Now You Die, Mr. Bond! (Beatrix Rule) Fortunately for you, the previous rule also applies in reverse. Rather than kill you when they have you at their mercy, the villains will settle for merely blasting you down to 1 hit point and leaving you in a crumpled heap while they stroll off, laughing. (This is, of course, because they're already planning ahead how they'll manipulate you into doing their bidding later in the game -- see Way To Go, Serge.) Zap! Most villains in RPGs possess some form of teleportation. They generally use it to materialize in front of the adventurers when they reach the Obligatory Legendary Relic Room and seize the goodies just before you can. The question "if the bad guy can teleport anywhere at any time, then why doesn't (s)he just zip in, grab the artifact, and leave before the adventurers have even finished the nerve-wracking puzzle on the third floor?" is never answered. Heads I Win, Tails You Lose (Grahf Rule)It doesn't matter that you won the fight with the boss monster; the evil task he was trying to carry out will still get accomplished somehow. Really, you might as well not have bothered. Clockwork Universe Rule No matter how hard you try to stop it, that comet or meteor will always hit the earth. Fake Ending There will be a sequence which pretends to be the end of the game but obviously isn't -- if for no other reason than because you're still on Disk 1 of 4. You Die, And We All Move Up In Rank During that fake ending, the true villain of the story will kill the guy you'd thought was the villain, just to demonstrate what a badass he (the true villain) really is. You never get to kill the fake villain yourself. "What are we going to do tonight, Vinsfeld?" The goal of every game (as revealed during the Fake Ending) is to Save the World from an evil figure who's trying to take it over or destroy it. There is no way to escape from this formidable task. No matter whether the protagonist's goal in life is to pay off a debt, to explore distant lands, or just to make time with that cute girl in the blue dress, it will be necessary for him to Save the World in order to accomplish it. Take heart, though -- once the world gets sorted out, everything else will fall into place almost immediately. Zelda's Axiom Whenever somebody tells you about "the five ancient talismans" or "the nine legendary crystals" or whatever, you can be quite confident that Saving the World will require you to go out and find every last one of them. George W. Bush Geography Simplification Initiative Every country in the world will have exactly one town in it, except for the country you start out in, which will have three. Fodor's Guide Rule In the course of your adventure you will visit one desert city, one port town, one mining town, one casino city, one magic city (usually flying), one medieval castle kingdom, one clockwork city, one martial arts-based community, one thieves' slum, one lost city and one sci-fi utopia. On the way you'll also get a chance to see the cave with rocks that glow from a natural energy source, the village populated with nonhuman characters, the peaceful village where everyone knows the latest news about the hero's quest (see Guy in the Street Rule), the snow village, the magical forest/lake/mountain, the shop in the middle of nowhere, the fantastic-looking place with lots of FMVs just showing your entrance, the subtropical jungle island populated by friendly natives, the annoying cavern maze, and a place -- any place -- that was destroyed in some past disaster. Midgar Principle The capital of the evil empire is always divided into two sections: a lower city slum filled with slaves and supporters of the rebellion, and an upper city filled with loyal fanatics and corrupt aristocrats. Not Invented Here Trade of technology will not exist. One place in the world will have all the techno-gadgets while all the others will be harvesting dirt. Law of Cartographical Elegance The world map always cleanly fits into a rectangular shape with no land masses that cross an edge. ¿Quien Es Mas Macho? (Fargo Rule) Every powerful character you attempt to seek aid from will first insist upon "testing your strength" in a battle to the death. We Had To Destroy The Village In Order To, Well, You Know The Rest (Selene Rule)No matter what happens, never call on the government, the church, or any other massive controlling authority for help. They'll just send a brigade of soldiers to burn your entire village to the ground. Zidane's Curse (or, Dirty Pair Rule) An unlucky condition in which every major city in the game will coincidentally wind up being destroyed just after the hero arrives. Maginot Line Rule It is easy to tell which city/nation is the next conquest of the Evil Empire: its streets are filled with citizens who brag that the Empire would never dare attack them, and would be easily defeated if it tried. (This smug nationalism always fails to take into account the Empire's new superweapon.) Short Attention Span Principle All bookshelves contain exactly one book, which only has enough text on it to fill up half a page. Planet of the Apes Rule All cities and countries have ancestors that were wiped out by their technological advances. Insomnia Rule A "free stay at the inn" is never really free. Expect to be woken up in the middle of the night for a mandatory plot event. The Bling-Bling Thing (Lemina Rule)No matter how much money and treasure you acquire, the greedy member of your party will never be satisfied and won't stop griping about the sorry state of the party's finances. I Don't Like Gears Or Fighting There are always giant robots. Always. Houdini's PostulateAnyone, whether they are in the player's party or not, who is placed in any kind of prison, fortress, cell, or detention block will escape immediately. Party members will be freed either by a small child they just happened to befriend earlier in the day or by an unexpected disaster that overcomes the enemy base, NPCs will be freed by the released party members, and villains will break out all by themselves because they're such badasses. Once a person has escaped from jail, no attempt will be made by the police to recapture them in the future. Zeigfried's Contradiction Just because someone is weird doesn't mean they're important. Natural Monopoly RuleNo city will have more than two shops, unless it is crucial to the story that there be a hundred vendors which you must visit in order (see You Always Travel In The Right Circles.) All of these shops will sell the same goods for the same price. But They Don't Take American Express Every merchant in the world -- even those living in far-off villages or hidden floating cities cut off from the outside world for centuries, even those who speak different languages or are of an entirely different species -- accepts the same currency. Apathy PrincipleYour group is the only bunch of people trying to save the world. All other would-be heroes will either join your party or else turn out to be cowards and/or con men. The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly Rulea. Any male character who is ugly, malformed, or misshapen is either evil or so moral, spiritual, and/or wise that it's a wonder no one's proposed him for sainthood yet. b. Any male character who has a physical disfiguration that doesn't seem to impede him (i.e. a prominent scar across the face or a bad eye) is evil, unless he is the male lead, since scars are cool and no other good guy can be as cool as the hero. An exception is made for characters who are clearly ancient, and therefore automatically not as cool as the young hero. c. Any female character who is ugly, malformed, mishapen, or physically disfigured is evil, since all good female characters are there to be potentially seduced by the male lead -- see Know Your Audience. Henchman Quota (Nana, Saki, and Mio Rule) One of your antagonists will have three lovably incompetent stooges whom you fight over and over again. Although they're trusted with their boss's most important plans and equipment, they will screw up repeatedly, argue incessantly among themselves, blab secret information, and generally only come out victorious when their job was to be a diversion or a delaying tactic. A high point of the game will come when the True Villain reveals himself and you're able to convince the stooges you're all on the same side. They won't help you out any more successfully than they helped the antagonist, but at least you won't have to fight them any more. Thousand Year Rule The Ancient Evil returns to savage the land every thousand years on the dot, and the last time it showed up was just about 999.9875 years ago. Despite their best efforts, heroes of the past were never able to do more than seal the Evil away again for the future to deal with (which brings up the question of just how exactly does this "sealing away" work anyway, but never mind.) The good news is that this time, the Evil will get destroyed permanently. The bad news is that you're the one who's going to have to do it. Principle of Narrative Efficiency If the main villain (or the enemy you've been trying to kill for most of the game before he summons the real final villain) was ever defeated in the past by another group of adventurers, one of them will secretly be in your party and one of them will be the hero's father. Ayn Rand's Revenge Outside the major cities, there is no government whatsoever. Of course, perhaps that explains why it's so difficult and dangerous to get anywhere outside the major cities. First Law of Travel Anything can become a vehicle -- castles, cities, military academies, you name it -- so do not be alarmed when the stones of the ancient fortress you are visiting shake underfoot and the whole thing lifts off into the sky. As a corollary, anything is capable of flight if it would be cool, aeronautics or even basic physics be damned. Second Law of TravelThere will be only one of any non-trivial type of vehicle in the entire world. Thus, only one ocean-capable steamboat, only one airship, and so forth. Massive facilities will have been constructed all over the world to service this one vehicle. Third Law of TravelThe only way to travel by land between different areas of a continent will always be through a single narrow pass in a range of otherwise impenetrable mountains. Usually a palace or monastery will have been constructed in the pass, entirely filling it, so that all intracontinental traffic is apparently required to abandon their vehicles and go on foot up stairs and through the barracks, library and throne room to get to the other side. This may explain why most people just stay home. (In some cases a cave or underground tunnel may be substituted for the palace or monastery, but it will still be just as inconvenient with the added bonuses of cave-ins and nonsensical elevator puzzles.) Fourth Law of Travel Three out of every four vehicles you ride on will eventually sink, derail or crash in some spectacular manner. Fifth Law of TravelAll vehicles can be driven or piloted by anyone. The main character just needs to find out where the bridge or steering wheel is, as he already knows all of the controls. Sixth Law of TravelNobody gets to own a cooler ride than you. If you ever do see a cooler vehicle than the one you've got now, at some point before the end of the game you will either take over this vehicle, get something even bigger and better, or else see it destroyed in a glorious blaze. Seventh Law of TravelWhen on a voyage to another continent, the journey will last only as long as it takes you to talk to all the other passengers and the captain. Eighth Law of TravelThere are no shortcuts, ever -- unless you are forced to take them, in which case they will be much longer and more dangerous than your original route. Last Law of Travel (Big Joe Rule)As has been described, you must endure great trials just to get from town to town: locating different vehicles, operating ancient transport mechanisms, evading military blockades, the list goes on. But that's just you. Every other character in the game seems to have no trouble getting to any place in the world on a moment's notice. If You Meet The Buddha In A Random Encounter, Kill Him! When you're out wandering around the world, you must kill everything you meet. People, animals, plants, insects, fire hydrants, small cottages, anything and everything is just plain out to get you. It may be because of your rampant kleptomania (see Garrett's Principle.) Law of Numbers There will be several items or effects which depend on the numerical value of your hit points, level, etc., which makes no sense unless the characters can see all the numbers in their world and find it perfectly normal that a spell only works on a monster whose level is a multiple of 5. Magical Inequality TheoremIn the course of your travels you may find useful-sounding spells such as Petrify, Silence, and Instant Death. However, you will end up never using these spells in combat because a) all ordinary enemies can be killed with a few normal attacks, making fancy attacks unneccessary, b) all bosses and other stronger-than-average monsters are immune to those effects so there's no point in using them for long fights where they'd actually come in handy, and c) the spells usually don't work anyway. Magical Inequality Corollary When the enemy uses Petrify, Silence, Instant Death, et cetera spells on you, they will be effective 100% of the time. Pretty Line Syndrome (or, Crash Bandicoot: The RPG) Seen in most modern RPGs. The key to completing your quest is to walk forward in a straight line for fifty hours, stopping along the way to look at, kill, and/or have meaningful conversations with various pretty things. Xenobiology RuleThe predatory species of the world will include representatives of all of the following: giant spiders, giant scorpions, giant snakes, giant beetles, wolves, squid, fish that float in midair, gargoyles, golems, carnivorous plants, chimeras, griffons, cockatrices, hydras, minotaurs, burrowing things with big claws, things that can paralyse you, things that can put you to sleep, things that can petrify you, at least twenty different creatures with poisonous tentacles, and dragons. Always dragons. Friendly Fire Principle (or, Final Fantasy Tactics Rule) Any attack that can target both allies and enemies will hit half of your allies and none of your enemies. Dungeon Design 101 There's always goodies hidden behind the waterfall. Dungeon Design 102 When you are confronted by two doors, the closer one will be locked and its key will be hidden behind the farther-away one. Dungeon Design 103 (or, Wallpaper Warning) Your progress through a dungeon will be indicated by a sudden change in decor: different wall color, different torches on the wall, et cetera. Dungeon Design 201 (or, The Interior Decorators Anticipated Your Out-Of-Body Experience)Most dungeons will include "hidden" passages which are nearly impossible to see from a bird's-eye view, yet would be blaringly obvious from the party's perspective. Dungeon Design 301 All "puzzles" in RPG dungeons can be sorted into one of the following types: finding some small item and sticking it into a slot; pushing blocks (rocks, statues) onto switches; pulling switches or levers to open and close doors; learning the correct order/position of a group of objects; entering a certain combination of doors; something involving a clock or elevator; something that is unsolvable because a vital clue in the dialogue was mistranslated out of Japanese. Wait! That Was A Load-Bearing Boss!Defeating a dungeon's boss creature will frequently cause the dungeon to collapse, which is nonsensical but does make for thrilling escape scenes. Supply and Demand AxiomKilling a powerful enemy will usually yield an item or weapon that would've been extremely useful if you had gotten it before killing that enemy. Edison's Lament No switch is ever in the right position. Well, That About Wraps It Up For GodAll major deities, assuming they actually exist and weren't just made up by the Church to delude its followers, are in reality malevolent and will have to be destroyed. The only exception to this rule is the four nature spirits who have preserved the land since time immemorial, but now due to the folly of mankind have lost virtually all of their power and need you to accomplish some ludicrous task to save them. Guy in the Street RuleNo matter how fast you travel, rumors of world events always travel faster. When you get to anywhere, the people on the street are already talking about where you've been. The stories of your past experiences will spread even if no witnesses were around to see them. Wherever You Go, There They Are Wherever the characters go, the villains can always find them. Chances are they're asking the guy in the street (see above). But don't worry -- despite being able to find the characters with ease anytime they want to, the bad guys never get rid of them by simply blowing up the tent or hotel they're spending the night in. (Just think of it: the screen dims, the peaceful going-to-sleep-now music plays, then BOOM! Game Over!) Figurehead RuleWhenever someone asks you a question to decide what to do, it's just to be polite. He or she will ask the question again and again until you answer "correctly." Puddin' Tame RuleThe average passer-by will always say the same thing no matter how many times you talk to them, and they certainly won't clarify any of the vaguely worded warnings or cryptic half-sentences they threw at you the previous time. Franklin Covey Was Wrong, Wrong, WrongSticking to the task at hand and going directly from place to place and goal to goal is always a bad idea, and may even prevent you from being able to finish the game. It's by dawdling around, completing side quests and giving money to derelicts that you come into your real power. Selective Invulnerability PrincipleRPG characters are immune from such mundane hazards as intense heat, freezing cold, or poison gas... except when they're suddenly not. Surprise! I'm the NRA (Billy Lee Black Rule)Opposition to gun control is probably the only thing you could get all RPG characters to agree upon. Even deep religious faith and heartfelt pacifism can't compete with the allure of guns. Three Females Rule There will always be either one or three female characters in the hero's party, no matter how many male characters there are. Experience Not RequiredWhen the main character is forced to do some complex or dangerous task for the first time, even though he has never done it before he will still always be better than the oldest veteran. Law of Reverse Evolution (Zeboim Principle) Any ancient civilizations are inexplicably much more advanced than the current one. Science-Magic Equivalence (Citan Rule) Although mages' specialty is magic and scientists' specialty is technology, these skills are completely interchangeable. Law of Productive Gullibility (Ruby Rule)Whenever anybody comes up to you with a patently ludicrous claim (such as, "I'm not a cat, I'm really an ancient Red Dragon") there's an at least two-thirds chance they're telling the truth. Therefore, it pays to humor everyone you meet; odds are you'll be glad you did later on. Perversity Principle If you're unsure about what to do next, ask all the townspeople nearby. They will either all strongly urge you to do something, in which case you must immediately go out and do that thing, or else they will all strongly warn you against doing something, in which case you must immediately go out and do that thing. Near-Death Epiphany (Fei Rule) If the party is not dealing damage to a boss character, then there's a better-than-even chance that someone in the party will suddenly become enlightened and instantly acquire the offensive skill that can blow the creature away in a matter of seconds. Wutai RuleMost RPGs, no matter what their mythology, include a land based on ancient Japan. Full of pagodas, shrines, shoguns, kitsune, and sushi, this completely anachronistic place is the source of the entire world's supply of ninja and samurai characters. Law of MooksSoldiers and guards working for the Evil Empire are, as a rule, sloppy, cowardly and incompetent. Members of the heroic Resistance Faction are, as a rule, dreadfully weak and undertrained and will be wiped out to the last man the moment they come in contact with the enemy. Law of Traps No matter how obvious the trap, you can't complete the game unless you fall into it. Arbor Day Rule At some point, you're going to have to talk to a tree and do what it says. You Do Not Talk About Fight Club Any fighting tournament or contest of skill you hear about, you will eventually be forced to enter and win. Invisible Bureaucracy RuleOther than the royal family, its shifty advisor, and the odd mad scientist, the only government employees you will ever encounter in the course of your adventure are either guards or kitchen staff. The Miracle of AutomationSimilarily, any factory, power plant, or other facility that you visit during the course of the game will be devoid of any human life except for the occasional guards. There will not be a single line worker or maintenance person in sight. Principle of Archaeological ConvenienceEvery ancient machine you find will work perfectly the first time you try to use it and every time thereafter. Even if its city got blasted into ruins and the machine was then sunk to the bottom of the sea and buried in mud for ten thousand years, it'll still work fine. The unfortunate corollary to this rule is that ancient guardian creatures will also turn out to be working perfectly when you try to filch their stuff. They Don't Make 'Em Like They Used To (Cid Rule)Modern-day machinery, by contrast, will always break down at the worst possible moment (for example, when you only need one more shot from the giant cannon to defeat the final boss.) Place Transvestite Joke Here (Miss Cloud Rule)If the male lead is required to dress up like a girl for any reason, he will be regarded by everyone as much more attractive than any "real" girl. If the female lead cross-dresses as a man, she will be immediately recognized as who she is by everyone except the male lead and the main villain. Make Room! Make Room!There are always more people in a town or village than there are houses for them to live in. Most of the village is made up of shops, temples, bars, secret passages, inns, and the mansion that belongs to the richest man in town. Law of Scientific GratificationIf the hero needs a new invention to progress, he will find out that somewhere in the world someone has spent his or her entire life perfecting this invention, and usually just needs one more key item located in a monster-infested dungeon before it is completed. You Always Travel In The Right CirclesWhenever you meet a villager or other such incidental character who promises to give you some great piece of needed knowledge or a required object in exchange for a seemingly simple item, such as a bar of soap or a nice straw mat, be prepared to spend at least an hour chasing around the world exchanging useless innocuous item after item with bizarre strangers until you can get that elusive first item you were asked for. Talk Is Cheap RuleNothing is ever solved by diplomacy or politics in the world of RPGs. Any declarations of peace, summits and treaty negotiations are traps to fool the ever so gullible Good Guys into thinking the war is over, or to brainwash the remaining leaders of the world. Stop Your Life (Setzer Rule)No matter what kind of exciting, dynamic life a character was leading before joining your party, once there they will be perfectly content to sit and wait on the airship until you choose to use them. Don't Stand Out Any townsperson who is dressed oddly or otherwise doesn't fit in with the rest of the townsfolk will either: Join your party after you complete some task, Be in the employ of your enemy, or Befriend any female member of the party, and then be immediately captured and held hostage by the villains. Little Nemo LawIf any sleeping character has a dream, that dream will be either a 100% accurate memory of the past, a 100% accurate psychic sending from the present, a 100% accurate prophetic vision of the future, or a combination of two or all three of these. Child Protection Act (Rydia Rule)Children 12 and under are exempt from death. They will emerge alive from cataclysms that slaughter hundreds of sturdily-built adults, often with barely a scratch. Further protection is afforded if the catastrophe will orphan the child. Missing Master HypothesisAlmost every strong physical fighter learned everything he/she knows from some old master or friend. Invariably, the master or friend has since turned evil, been killed, or disappeared without a trace. Missing Master Corollary (Sabin Rule)If a fighter's master merely disappeared, you will undoubtedly find him/her at some point in your travels. The master will challenge the student to a duel, after which the student will be taught one final skill that the master had been holding back for years. Gojira Axiom Giant monsters capable of leveling cities all have the following traits: Low intelligence Enormous strength Projectile attacks Gigantic teeth and claws, designed, presumably, to eat other giant monsters Vulnerable to weapons 1/10,000th its size Ecologically sensitive "You Couldn't Get To Sleep Either, Huh?"If any character in the game ever meets any other character standing alone at night looking at the moon, those two will eventually fall in love. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely (Althena Rule)If a good guy is manipulated to the side of evil, they will suddenly find a new inner strength that will enable them to wipe out your whole party with a wave of their hand. All Is Forgiven (Nash Rule)However, when the trusted member of your party turns against you, do not give it a second thought. They will return to your side after they're done with their amnesia/mind control/hidden noble goal that caused them to give away all your omnipotent mystical artifacts. First Law of FashionAll characters wear a single costume which does not change over the course of the game. The only exception is when characters dress up in enemy uniforms to infiltrate their base. Second Law of FashionAny character's costume, no matter how skimpy, complicated, or simply outlandish, is always completely suitable to wear when climbing around in caves, hiking across the desert, and slogging through the sewers. It will continue to be completely suitable right afterwards when said character goes to meet the King. Third Law of FashionIn any futuristic setting, the standard uniform for female soldiers and special agents will include a miniskirt and thigh-high stockings. The standard uniform for all male characters, military or not, will include an extraordinarily silly and enormous hat. First Rule of Politics (Chancellor's Axiom)Any advisor of a major ruler has been scheming after his throne for quite a while. Thanks to the miracle of timing, you will arrive at the king's inner sanctum just in time for the coup. Second Rule of Politics (Scapegoat's Axiom)If the advisor works for an evil ruler, the advisor is as bad or even worse, and there's a good chance he's the final villain. (See Fake Ending Rule.) If the advisor works for a good ruler, he usually has the good of the kingdom at heart; not that that helps, because your party will invariably be made the scapegoat for all that's wrong with the nation and immediately thrown in the dungeon. Last Rule of Politics Kingdoms are good. Empires are evil. Inheritance of Acquired Characteristics (Ramus Rule) Twenty-three generations may pass, but any person's direct descendant will still look and act just like him. Pinch Hitter RuleWhenever a member of the hero's team is killed or retires, no matter how unique or special he or she was there is a good chance someone will show up to replace them that has exactly the same abilities and can use the same weapons with the same proficiency. Dealing With Beautiful Women, Part 1 (Yuffie Rule)All good-looking young females are there to help you. This rule holds even when the girl in question is annoying, useless, or clearly evil. Dealing With Beautiful Women, Part 2 (Rouge Rule)All good-looking middle-aged females are out to kill you. This rule holds even when the woman in question has attained your unwavering trust and respect. Well, So Much For ThatAfter you have completed your mighty quest to find the object that will save the known universe, it will either a) get lost, b) get stolen, or c) not work. The Ominous Ring of LandThe classic Ominous Ring of Land is a popular terrain feature that frequently doesn't show up on your world map. Just when you think things are going really well and you've got the Forces of Evil on the run, monsters, demons and mad gods will pour out of the center of the ring and the situation will get ten times worse. The main villain also usually hangs out in one of these after attaining godhood. If there are several Ominous Rings of Land or the entire world map is one big ring, you are just screwed. Law of NPC Relativity (Magus Rule) Characters can accomplish superhuman physical feats, defeat enemies with one hand tied behind their back and use incredible abilities -- until they join your party and you can control them. Then these wonderful powers all vanish, along with most of their hit points. Guards! Guards! (or, Lindblum Full Employment Act) Everything will be guarded and gated (elevators, docks, old rickety bridges, random stretches of roadway deep in the forest) except for the stuff that actually needs to be. Thank You For Pressing The Self-Destruct ButtonAll enemy installations and city-sized military vehicles will be equipped with a conveniently located, easy-to-operate self-destruct mechanism. Falling RuleAn RPG character can fall any distance onto anything without suffering anything worse than brief unconsciousness. In fact, falling a huge distance is an excellent cure for otherwise fatal wounds -- anyone who you see shot, stabbed, or mangled and then tossed off a cliff is guaranteed to return later in the game with barely a scratch. Materials Science 101Gold, silver, and other precious metals make excellent weapons and armor even though in the real world they are too soft and heavy to use for that purpose. In fact, they work so well that nobody ever melts their solid gold suit of armor down into bullion, sells it, and retires to a tropical isle on the proceeds. Materials Science 201 Everyone you meet will talk enthusiastically about how some fantastically rare metal (iron, say) would make the best possible armor and weapons. Oh, if only you could get your hands on some! However, once you actually obtain iron -- at great personal risk, of course -- everyone will dismiss it as yesterday's news and instead start talking about some even more fantastically rare metal, such as gold. Repeat until you get to the metal after "mythril" (see The Ultimate Rule.) Seventh Inning Stretch (Elc Rule) At some point in the game the main hero will receive a deadly story-driven injury and will be put in a hospital instead of having a mage heal him. This will leave him out of commission for at least the length of two sidequests; the female lead will also be temporarily out of commission as she steadfastly refuses to leave the hero's side. Ultimately a simple vision quest is all that will be required to bring the hero back to normal. Vivi's Spellbook PrincipleOver the course of the game, you will spend countless hours learning between twenty and one hundred skills and/or spells, approximately three of which will still be useful by the end of the game. Gender Equality, Part 1 (Feena Rule)Your average female RPG character carries a variety of deadly weapons and can effortlessly hack or magic her way through armies of monsters, killer cyborgs, and mutated boss creatures without breaking a sweat. She may be an accomplished ninja, a superpowered secret agent, or the world's greatest adventurer. However, if one of the game's villains manages to sneak up and grab her by the Standard Female Character Grab Area (her upper arm) she will be rendered utterly helpless until rescued by the hero. Gender Equality, Part 2 (Tifa Rule) If any female character, in a burst of anger or enthusiasm, decides to go off and accomplish something on her own without the hero, she will fail miserably and again have to be rescued. Gender Equality, Part 3 (Luna Rule)All of the effort you put into maxing out the female lead's statistics and special abilities will turn out to be for naught when she spends the final confrontation with the villain dead, ensorcelled, or held hostage. Gender Equality Addendum (Rynn Rule) In the unlikely event that the main character of the game is female, she will not be involved in any romantic subplot whatsoever beyond getting hit on by shopkeepers. Stealing The Spotlight (Edea Rule) The characters who join your party only briefly tend to be much cooler than your regular party members. "Mommy, why didn't they just use a Phoenix Down on Aeris?" Don't expect battle mechanics to carry over into the "real world." Gold Saucer Rule The strongest weapons/items/spells in the entire game can only be found by doing things like racing birds. Evil May Live Forever, But It Doesn't Age WellEven though it took the greatest armies in the world and all of the world's greatest magicians to seal away an ancient evil in an apocalyptic war, once said ancient evil breaks free three fairly inexperienced warriors can destroy it. Sephiroth Memorial Escape Clause Any misdeed up to and including multiple genocide is forgiveable if you're cool enough. Doomed Utopia Theorem (Law of Zeal) All seemingly ideal, utopian societies are powered by some dark force and are therefore doomed to swift, flashy destruction. Party Guidance RuleSomewhere in the last third of the story, the hero will make a stupid decision and the rest of the party must remind him of all that they have learned from being with him in order to return the hero to normal. Bad Is Good, Baby!The heroes can always count on the support of good-hearted vampires, dragons, thieves, demons, and chainsaw murderers in their quest to save the world from evil. And on the other hand... Good Is Bad, Baby!Watch out for generous priests, loyal military officers, and basically anyone in a position of authority who agrees to help you out, especially if they save your life and prove their sincerity innumerable times -- they're usually plotting your demise in secret (at least when they can fit it into their busy schedule of betraying their country, sponsoring international terrorism, and stealing candy from small children) and will stab you in the back at the most inconvenient moment, unless they fall under... General Leo's ExceptionHonorable and sympathetic people who work for the Other Side are always the genuine article. Of course they'll be busily stabbing you in the front, so either way you lose. Eventually though, they'll fall prey to... The Ineffectual Ex-Villain Theorem (Col. Mullen Rule) No matter how tough and bad-ass one of the Other Side's henchmen is, if he bails to the side of Good he'll turn out to be not quite tough and bad-ass enough. The main villain will defeat him easily. But don't weep -- usually he'll manage to escape just in time, leaving you to deal with the fate that was meant for him. All The Time In The World (Rinoa Rule) Unless there's a running countdown clock right there on the screen, you have as long as you want to complete any task -- such as, say, rescuing a friend who's hanging by one hand from a slippery cliff edge thousands of feet in the air -- no matter how incredibly urgent it is. Dawdle or hurry as you will, you'll always make it just in the nick of time. Ladies First (Belleza Rule) When things really start falling apart, the villain's attractive female henchman will be the first to jump ship and switch to the side of Good. Sadly, she still won't survive until the end credits, because later she will sacrifice her life out of unrequited love for the villain. Trial By Fire (Cecil Rule) Any dark and brooding main characters will ultimately be redeemed by a long, ardous, quasi-spiritual quest that seems difficult at the time, but in the great scheme of things just wasn't that big of a deal after all. Key Item Rule Never discard, sell, or otherwise remove permamently from your possession any items you begin the game with or acquire within the first town. This is especially true for items that seem to have no practical use, because of... The Law of Inverse Practicality (Key Item Corollary)Any item that you can acquire will have some sort of purpose. Those that seem to be useless and have no practical value at all, always tend to have great power later on. The earlier you get the item, the later in the game it will be used. The longer the span of time between acquisition and use, the more powerful the item is. Way To Go, SergeIt will eventually turn out that, for a minimum of the first sixty percent of the game, you were actually being manipulated by the forces of evil into doing their sinister bidding for them. In extreme cases this may go as high as 90%. The clear implication is that it would have been better to not get involved in the first place. Gilligan's PrescriptionAny character who has amnesia will be cured before the end of the game. They usually won't like what they find out about themselves, though. Luke, I Am Your Tedious, Overused Plot Device (Lynx Rule)If there is any chance whatsoever that major villain X could be the male lead's father, then it will turn out that major villain X is the male lead's father. World of Mild Inconvenience The devastating plague, noxious gas, planet-obliterating meteor or other large-scale disaster that led to the death of millions will affect your party (and your party's friends and family members) in no way whatsoever, save that a few party members may become lost and you can find them later. Golden Chocobo PrincipleThere will be at least one supremely ultimate improvement for your weapon or some way to make your trusted steed capable of going anywhere and doing anything, requiring hours and hours of hard work to acquire. Once you do achieve this, you will use it once, and it will be completely useless for the rest of the game. Golden Chocobo Corollary The magic formula for acquiring this supreme upgrade will be only vaguely alluded to in the game itself. Ideally, you're supposed to shell out $19.95 for the strategy guide instead. Flow of Goods RuleThe quality of goods in the world is dependent upon the shop's distance from the final dungeon. It doesn't matter if the town you start in has a huge thriving economy and is the center of world trade, it will always have the game's worst equipment; and even if that village near the end is isolated and has only three people in it, it will have the game's best equipment. Master Key Rule Any and all locked doors that the characters encounter will be unlocked by the end of the game. "Evil will always triumph, because Good is dumb!"If the villain needs all ten legendary medallions to attain world domination and you have nine of them, everybody in your party still thinks it is neccessary to bring the nine to the villain's castle and get the final one, instead of hiding the ones they've already got and spoiling his plans that way. After you foolishly bring the legendary medallions to the villain's hideout, he will kidnap one of your companions (usually the main love interest) and you will trade the world away to rescue your friend. Dark Helmet's CorollaryAfter you give up the medallions to save your friend/parent/lover/other miscellaneous party member, don't expect to actually get that person back. Sucker! It's Not My Department, Says Wernher Von BraunAll space stations, flying cities, floating continents and so forth will without exception either be blown up or crash violently to earth before the end of the game. The Best-Laid SchemesThe final villain's grand scheme will have involved the deaths of thousands or even millions of innocent people, the clever manipulation of governments, armies, and entire populations, and will have taken anywhere from five to five thousand years to come to fruition. The hero will come up with a method of undoing this plan forever in less than five minutes. Pyrrhic VictoryBy the time you've gotten it in gear, dealt with your miscellaneous personal crises and are finally ready to go Save the World once and for all, nine-tenths of it will already have been destroyed. Still, you've got to give your all to save the remaining one-tenth. Poetic Villain Principle (Kefka Rule)All villains will suddenly become poets, philisophers, and/or dramatic actors when a) they first meet the hero, b) they are about to win or their evil plan is finally ready, c) some major event in the game is about to begin, d) right before the final battle, and e) right before they die, when they will frequently be feeling generous enough to reward you with some homespun wisdom about making the most of life while you have it. Compression of TimeAs you approach the final confrontation with the villain, events will become increasingly awkward, contrived and disconnected from one another -- almost as if some cosmic Author was running up against a deadline and had to slap together the ending at the last minute. Adam Smith's RevengeBy the end of the game you are renowned everywhere as the Legendary Heroes, every surviving government and authority figure has rallied behind you, the fate of the world is obviously hanging in the balance, and out of nowhere random passers-by give you a pat on the back and heartfelt good luck wishes. However, shopkeepers won't even give you a discount, much less free supplies for the final battle with evil. Adam Smith's CorollaryNo matter how thoroughly devastated the continent/planet/universe is, there's always some shopkeeper who survived the end of the world and sits outside the gates of the villain's castle, selling the most powerful equipment in the game, like nothing ever happened. The Long Arm of the PlotAny bad guys, no matter how far they run, will always end up in one of two ways by the end of the game: obviously dead, or on your side. There is no in-between. Apocalypse Any Time NowThe best time to do side quests is while the huge meteor hovers in the sky above the planet, waiting to fall and destroy the world. "So, Andross, you reveal your true form!"You will have to kill the evil villain at least twice at the end of the game. First the villain will look like a person or some creature and be rather easy to kill. Then he will grow to about 50 times the hero's size and be much harder to kill. In Your Face, Jesus!Even if you manage to deal with him that time, you're not done -- the villain will then transform into his final form, which is always an angelic winged figure with background music remixed for ecstatic chorus and pipe organ. The Moral Of The Story (Ghaleon Rule) Every problem in the universe can be solved by finding the right long-haired prettyboy and beating the crap out of him. Weapon RuleThere's always a hidden creature who is much harder to defeat than even the ultimate bad guy's final, world-annihilating form. It's lucky for all concerned that this hidden creature prefers to stay hidden rather than trying to take over the world himself, because he'd probably win. As a corollary, whatever reward you get for killing the hidden creature is basically worthless because by the time you're powerful enough to defeat him, you don't need it any more. The Ultimate RuleAnything called "Ultima (whatever)" or "Ultimate (whatever)" isn't. There's always at least one thing somewhere in the world which is even more. Know Your Audience (Vyse Rule) Every woman in the game will find the male lead incredibly attractive. source: http://project-apollo.net/text/rpg.htmlAll Thanks are to that site and it's admins =)Posted just to be shared to my fellow gamers =D

Haggard Sched of a College Student

2008-07-07T14:45:00.000+08:00

*sigh*

Again...
It's been so long since I updated my multiply and my blogspot...
Well, I'm temporarily back... yes.. Temporarily...

This week will be our Midterms...
O_O...

Exams galore lol...
hahaha...

And I'm still coping up w/ my broken heart...

It's been a month of torture and dismay...

Torture.. since I'm missing every little bit of our relationship back then... I miss every hug and kiss that we shared...

dismay... Since we promised that we'll be together for always.. and then she will break up w/ me for the reason that "nagsawa" na sya...
my gawrshh...

And to hear what she had been doing... Flirting w/ boys in different colleges...
Hmm.. Example is this guy named "Erwin" of PUP...
One of our batchmates that studies in FEU told me that he saw dhen w/ this Erwin guy...

my gawd...
Dhen's mother trusted me to guide her... and look at what she's doing.... She's making a fool of herself and me...
*sigh*

Well.. enough of that... Just got carried away by sadness again...

Hmmm

NSTP tomorrow.... I and my classmates will be visiting San Mate Rizal tomorrow...
Hi SAN MATEO!! See yah guys there soon!! =3

Officially Single up until she returns all my stuff

2008-06-12T20:09:00.000+08:00

Ah! Yes...
The bitter taste of defeat...

As she return the Cellphone that I lended to her...

well..
During her first break.. Well I thought that the real Dhen had returned.. She was sweet to me and all.. She even told her friends who I am... The Only thing that I heard.. that was kinda strange was..

"Sya ba ung Cool Off?"
Dhen: Hinde! Iba Un!

Of course I had thought of several possibilities...
She might be telling her friends that we already brokeup..
or she has another one... "Iba un"

Well.. As I leave her to go to my next class... She bid a good luck kiss..
She texted me because her professor hasn't arrived yet...
I told her that I wanted to go home w/ her together...
I told her that that might be the last time that I would go home w/ her as a BF...

I got dismissed 30 minutes earlier than her.. When she arrived in our meeting place infront of FEU gate 4.. She told me she needed to Buy books..

But earlier that time.. Her mother was texting me... She got angry to me because I was texting to her mom which was something she hated very much...

Another thing that I noticed was.... She had erased her mothers Number in my CP... and She even erased some of her pics in my CP...

After we bought books... We waited for a jeep going to Munoz...
When we got inside one of the jeeps.. she Immedietly returned the CP that I lended to her.... even though I was trying not to take it from her... She still insists returning it..
Her mother texted me again... And I told her Mom everything..
That Dhen returned the CP and was not talking to me....

When We arrived in Munoz.. we rode a Bus to Nova Bayan...
she payed for RP...and I payed for RP too.. which was supposed that I pay only for C5...

When we arrived in C5.. She told me to get off the bus na.. and she was asking for the CP again... I gave her the CP but I did not get off...

She then borrowed my CP.. and she saw that I was replying to her mother which made her angry again... I got off before RP.. and she followed.. Trying again to return the CP that I had lend her again..

But she wasn't able to catch up to me... As I didn't wanted to talk to her...

*sigh*....

After that... She texted me that She doesn't not want liars...
And I replied..
"I Seldom lied to you.. and Every lie I make is for the better.. But you... You lied to me more than I can remember... But did I get angry everytime you lied? I always forgave you..."

*sigh*...
And She didn't replied again..
But her mother texted me saying that "She will get over that... She might be just tired.. you will get back together I'm sure of that"..

I hope so...

But If were not meant together... We are not meant together...

And I cannot cry anymore...
I must make my mind more powerful than my heart.... As I cannot let my heart take over me...

=/

Still unofficially Single w/ out prior notice

2008-06-10T17:34:00.000+08:00

*sigh*..

I know that our relationship is crumbling... I know it is beyond repair...
BUt I still do everything I can just to make it work...
But she is giving up on it...
It seems that we are still together.. But not...

Her emotions.. The Whole her changed...
The Dhen that I know back then... The Loving Dhen.. The emotionful and caring Dhen.. is now gone...

Now she is the Dhen that I do not know... The "manhid" kind of person..
She doesn't feel the things that she felt during the early stages of our relationship..
She is really changed...

She said her reason is that she saw an attitude of mine that changed her.. a negative attitude of mine.. which is Possessiveness...
Yes... I am possessive...
But during our early stage.. She was too... But now..
All I can see is... Even if I got run off by a truck she will not care...

We talked in SM North... After my class...
She told me that she will help me forget her... Time by time.. she will be colder to me...
And that sentence of her broke the whole me...

"Who the hell is this girl beside me... She is not the Dhen I loved.."

Who the hell is she...
She wants me to forget her... And She'll even help.. My gawd... what kind of ********* is that O_O...

But still... I told her... Please.. stay by me... I cannot accept this... I will do everything I can to return you to who ever you were back then...

This is not the reall you.. You are not Dhen...
She even wrote this letter to me.. She said that I must answer it...
Mind if I share it w/ you guys.. =/

1. Kay Dhen lang ba umiikot ang mundo mo?

2. Bakit kailangan ibigay mo sakin ang lahat?

3. Bakit kelangan isarili mo cya?

4. Kailangan mo na syang kalimutan?

5. Kung mahal mo Dapat gawin mo ang gusto niya?

6. Kung kinakailangan na magkalimutan dapat magawa?

Dahan dahan ko gagawin sau para di mahirap sa puso mo...

-----------------

Those were the exact questions.... Jackpot...
My heart got hit again by a barage of Needles...

Why should she change...

If this continues...

It will be very difficult to me to forget her...
She is my 1st GF after all... Not kidding...

I hope my friends right...
"She doesn't deserve you men... Your one of the best guys I know... She doesn't deserve you"

I don't know....
I gave...I sacrificed everything for her.. and now... It will be all gone...
Did I got scammed by a person who only wants my everything.. and when she gets my everything she will just leave me...

*sigh*..

What A sad life I'm having right now.. Not to mention a Tons of work in College...
She was one of the inspirations I got to finish college...
But now.. My Inspiration is lessened... =/

Mildun: Ah.. enough with the stupid name calli'n... I have a gift for you... since you and your family are leaving the Seven Hearts.... I suggest you use this scroll to fasten your travel.. *Gives the Scroll Of Perfect*

The Beginning of the End (An Online Game Fanfic of pROSE/RF/PW/AruaROSE) First Chapter

2008-05-30T14:21:00.000+08:00

(P.S. This is actually my own version of the continuation of the Maidens fanfic in pROSE forums)

1st Chapter : Is it really the end?

And so, the 20 gears that were developed by the Ferrel and Piloted by the remnants of the Righteous Crusaders launched at the launching area of the ferrel that leads right at the rear of the city.

Director: And....... CUT! We're done people! No more scripts! Let's get everything packed up and ready to go... The Apocalypse is nearing... We must get the records to another world while we still can..

The actors and staffs were getting ready to go... Packing their items and etc..
Near, who has just got out of his Castle Gear, went to the Dressing room to get his bags but on the way there, he saw Nanao standing near the dressing room door.

Near: Yo! What's up? You're not going to get ready to leave the seven hearts?
Nanao: I'll be going in a while... I'm just waiting for somebody...
Near: And who might that somebody be?
Nanao: *sighs* just Somebody....
Near: Okay then.... See yah in another world then... say my goodbye to the others.... After I get my stuffs I'm going straight to my gear and go to Junon Port..
Nanao: yeah.. sure... Good luck and Good bye then..

After talking to Nanao, Near went inside the Dressing room... Where he found Panda..

Near: Hey... Panda... Where's Overlord.
Overlord: I am Overlord moron XD
Near: Oh XD... Sorry about that... You two really look the same..
Overlord: Ah.. Whatever.... By the way... Have you seen Panda?
Near: no.. Why?
Overlord: He told me he was looking for a "special someone"
Near: *whispers* Nanao..
Overlord: huh? I beg your pardon?
Near: ah.. Nothing.. So... Panda and you will take your Vessel to another world?
Overlord: yes.. of course... We don't wanna die here in this crappy place.... We want to live and continue our life that has been given to us by lady Arua herself..
Near: I see..... Lady Arua.... The goddess who can't even stop the Apocalypse of her own creations..
Overlord: She has her ways.....
Near: I'm just going to take my equipments... See yah in Perfect..
Overlord: Oh sure...... I'll still consult Panda on where we are going.... Farewell

Near retrieved his equipments and went out the dressing room and straight to his Gear.

The Parents!

2008-04-26T18:38:00.000+08:00

My gawd, just came home from my Girlfriends House......
And Heck! she introduced me to her parents O__O...
It was like OMG XD

I'm going to meet her parents for the first time..
erm.. Not actually the first time..
But as her Boyfriend...

I was so nervous and everything...
But when her father talked to me.. I felt.... Wow... Nervous... No way XD

They accepted me as Dhen's Boyfriend..
They even invited me to dinner..

Ulam?
Kinilaw... Erm.. I forgot what kind of kinilaw was it...

So there... after we ate..
I told Tita Cora(Dhen's mom) that it's our 2nd Monthsary tomorrow and I would like to invite Dhen to a Date...

I was so nervous at what Tita Cora might reply..
But YES!
She agreed after telling Tito Ding (Dhen's Father)

But it was all worth it..

Going back in fort to Raymarts house.. Since I arrived a little early, that I can't be earlier than them..
lol...
T'was all worth it..

I succeeded in befriending Dhen's brother (Dave)

Now... We're legal BF + GF to Dhen's mom...

The only thing we must do now is to legalize our relationship to my parents lololol XD

10 Signs You Need a Break From Gaming XD

2008-04-21T13:13:00.000+08:00

(10). When your electricity bill has more numerical digits than your all time high score.

(9). When you take a break from gaming at home by gaming at work.

(8). When you take a break from gaming at work by gaming on your way to work.

(7). The PSWii60 (huh?)!

(6). When you have more “friends” in the online virtual world, than in the “real world.”

(5). When you start think that “Junon Polis” is a real place.

(4). When you suddenly realize there’s a reason you’ll never finish playing “Ragnarok Online”

(3). When you get married to a real-life person you met in you favorite MMORPG…..and the actual wedding ceremony takes place within the game. No, really.

(2). When you know what the heck an “MMORPG” is to begin with.

(1). One word; “Cosplay.”

10 Reasons on why you should quit playing Online Games [I agree to everything written in this.. But I totally Can't Quit XD)

2008-04-07T17:12:00.000+08:00

And the top 10 reason to stop your
addiction on online games,from 10 to
1, are:

10.Availability of newer and better
online game.
Hnd nyo ba napapansin na nagu2lat nlng
tyo may bago nnmn na online games w/c
is
much better kesa sa nilalaro natin; at
habang tumatagal mapa2tungan nang
mapa2tungan nang mas magagandang online
games.
9.Poor return of Investment.
You play for hours,months,perhaps even
years at dahil dun nalvl mo na ang
chracter mo you've always wanted.Now
what? pag tinamad ka na babalakin mong
ibenta ung chracter mo mga ilang ilang
libo pero u'll only get small function
of the money you invested into making
that chracter in the 1st place.
oh cge sbhn nanatin na malakas na ung
chracter mo at malu2fet ang mga equips
mo,xempre pagyayabang mo yan dba? But
nothing last FOREVER!!! darating parin
ang oras na mag shu2t down and server
at
wala na mag su2port nang game.Remember
anong nangyari sa R.O.S.E Online? ten
of
thousands of players at its height.
Dead
after three years! oh nasan na ung
chracter mo? When the server shuts down
for good it's not even that anymore.
8.Its murder on rel8ships
Admit it,dahil sa pagiging adik sa
online games nakakasira nang
relationship mo sa pamilya,kaibigan,gf
or bf or asawa mo dahil u spend too
much
time and money sa online games.While
some rel8ships grew from the game into
realtity,such as fairytale romance are
not that common,and even if they do
happen,they're probably not likely to
last in the absence of the common
denominator,that is onlinegame it self
w/o the game to hold the relationship
together,it evaporates into nothingness
like pots during PK period.
and of course ung mga magulang
natin,xempre mag aala2 parin cla satin
dba?
7.Addiction to Online Games can ruin
grade/career.
Kailangan ko pa bang iexplain sainyo
ito? may ibang players na pag x2 x3
exp/drops eh nakakalimutang pumasok sa
school or sa trabaho!nakakalimutan ang
mga mas importanteng bagay.
6.The huge numbers of annoying
characters.
Scammers,bad
mouthers,kill-stealers,looters,DAM
lurers,Identity thieves,GM
impersonators,etc. kahit anong gawin mo
di mo maiiwansan na maencounter mga
gan2ng claseng tao di ba?
5.Your buddies have stopped playing the
game.
Masayang makalaro mga kaibigan mo sa
online,makasama mo sa pvp,guild at sa
lahat nang kakulitan;pero pano kng nang
siquitan cla kc na hack delete,nabenta
or lumipat sa ibang server,game or
whereever?Maybe you'll make some new
friends,but eventually they'll
disappear
as well the same way as the old ones.
4.The service and support being
provided
by the servers is just plain awful.
Connection errors,full servers,user's
account is being connected,LAG,frequent
disconnections,bugs,lost
item,rollbacks,hacked accounts,deleted
chracters,poor password security,slow
problem resolution do I have to go on?
Lets face it,im not saying that their
technical support is totally
useless,but
we all know that hnd lahat nang nag
reclamo sa help desk ay na 22lungan.
3.Financially darining.
Marami sa mga gamers na mas malaki pa
ang ginagastos nila sa online games
kesa
sa panga2ilangan nila.kahit na
Free-to-play pa yan gagastos ka parin
sa
mga in game items hnde ba? kng iisipin
nyo mabuti kng inipon nyo nlng ung
pinagga2stus nyo edi sana naka bili kyo
nang gs2 nyo or mas importante pa.
2.Its Dangerous to you health
Sa matagal mong pag upo sa harap nang
pc
sa tingin mo ba walang masamang
mangyayari sa kalusugan mo? including
muscle pain at exposure sa radiation?
1.It take too much of your time
Sa pagaadik mo sa online games maraming
oras ang nauubos na dapat ay
pinagamitan
mo sa mas mahalagang bagay.Time is gold
sbi nga nila,you'll realize na time
will
never repeat or recover because it will
lost forever.

Sa pag tigil nang kaadikan sa online
games is a personal choise,its up to
you...alam natin na lahat nang sobra ay
masama.The key is moderation but if you
really think about it,I promise you it
is something you wont regret...=)

PW Addict (or is this just too much PW lol XD)

2008-03-30T11:38:00.000+08:00

What a rainy day today lol..
Well anyways... I was browsing the PWph Forums a while ago..
When I found this thread of a guy named "egroegairod"
His 3 characters.. On His 3 Computers lol... Is this what we call a gamer?
hahaha lmao... Soon.. I'll be just like that hhaha.. Still waiting for my new PC to arrive XD..

1st Monthsary Date and A Hell more XD

2008-03-27T17:13:00.000+08:00

Well... Dhenaria and I celebrated our 1st Monthsary Date this afternoon....
We planned to go to FEU to reserve for the Freshmen Admission, since FEU will only accept 1000 Freshmen this year...

And so...

Since she already know that I'm a slowpoke(slow dresser, slow bather, slow mover when going somewhere XD), she went to my house to pick me up... but she was too late lol..
I already got out of the gate and we met 2 blocks away from my house...

Tapos nung nakalayo na kami... I suddenly remembered na "shit! Naiwan ko ung Test Result ko sa bahay XD.. balik Tayu loves!"

So ayun... We came back... But to our surprise.. When I opened the gate.. I was surprised to know that we had stepped on a "dogpile" XD..
She too was surprised... We washed our shoe before we continue, (Mama shouted "OH!? Dumating Kana!? wag kang Magpagabi!")

So after getting my test result.. We continued...
We went to C5(HBC) to wait for a Bus... But to our surprise again.. We met up with Gacot and Perocillo... Just to know that they were going to the province... So we bid our good bye's since there was a Bus coming...
Sumakay kami ng Bus papuntang Quezon Ave.. And then we walked half a kilometer to get to the FX Stop on the Stop Light.. Tapos we rode an FX to FEU...

When we arrived in FEU.. we did our transactions na..
I went to the admin pra magpareserved..
After ko.. She went naman to the admin to settle her test result problem(since di nga nya nakuha ung test results nya)

After nun...
We went to a nearby Greenwhich Restaurant..
I left her to wait on a table up stairs.. When I came back.. She was surprised kasi ang inorder ko is a Family Size Hawaiian.. 2 Pearl Shakes.. and 2 Large Cokes...
Sabi ko pa nga "Oh! Last na yan.. Since ikaw naman manlilibre sa mga darating na monthsary lol hahaha"
Ayun... Halos ako lang kumain... 3 lang kinain nya T_T ako Lima amf...

After nun Uwi na kami.. weee weee.. amf...

Text mom nya bigla.. "Dhen.. Ibili nyo nga aq ng Hair Color sa Watson sa SM North..."
So ayun punta kami dun...
etc etc.. After nun.. Sakay Kami FX to Nova Bayan...
I bid her farewell na naman since bumaba na aq sa C5.. Leaving her.. kasi nga sa RP pa baba nya.. =/..

After nun.. Pag uwi ko.. I thought makakapagpahinga na ko...
But I was wrong O_O...

My Mom ordered... yes ordered me... To change to market clothes(meaning maong na shorts tapos dark color na t-shirt) kasi we were going to Balintawak...

OMG! O_O

So there.. we went to Balintawak...
When we came home.. I was like.. Carrying more than 20 Kilo's of Vegetables and Meat O_O..
Kasi we have a Karinderia... Eh our katulong's were not fit to do the work..
Kasi nga ren eh umalis na at bumalik na sa Barko ang Husband ng Mom ko...

So here... I just came home an Hour ago..
exhausted...
And then...
Dhen texted me... Telling me that the release of our Report Cards is tomorrow... O_O..
But I'm happy to go.. even though pagod ako..
Makikita ko uli si Dhen

Unexpected NEWS

2008-03-24T18:52:00.000+08:00

OMG..

Ok..
This is surely a very unexpected text..
Dhen, my GF, texted me a while ago..
saying that she almost got raped tonight..

She was asked by her father to buy medicine in the nearest Pharmacy.. which is 2 blocks away from their House...

But when she was about to arrive home..
her drug addict Ex-BF dragged her away and brought her somewhere dark and gloomy...
and that crazy guy showed her his "Thing"

Good thing Dhen's cousin was passing near the place and immedietly rushed to her aide and saved her...

They called the Police and they put to jail that dumbass...

Well.. Dhen is still saying to me that she can't talk and she is like out of her self this evening... That she could only text me and not talk to anyone...

Well.. I'm her BF.. and as a BF.. It is hard that I can't do a shit to comfort her or to go to her aide in her time of need...

I feel weak... I feel worthless..

I told her that I wanted to talk to her on the Phone but she told me that the police got HOLD of their Phone and an outside or inside call can't be made during that night...

SHIT...
I hope she's fine..
I hope she'll be ok tomorrow...

I Love her so much that it pains me to see her suffer like that...
I damn to hell his Ex-BF...

That dumbass should be electrecuted.. Then punctured w/ a rusted pin.. and then left to be eaten by red ants... and then after that... DROWN in the toilet bowl...

Damn..
I really need to talk to her <_<

What a WHORE!..

2008-03-14T18:32:00.000+08:00

*sigh*
Signing in again..
Just to write that I am again.. Officially... SINGLE..

My relationship chain has been broken once again...
non other by my whore partner...

Sorry to say whore... Because I am actually hiding this to her..
That I see her like that.. and she acts like that too...

What a sweet Graduation Gift...
4 Days before Graduation and she breaks up w/ me..

Well actually...
We talked on the Phone just a minute ago..
Saying to me that she would go to one of my bestfriends house and have "fun" w/ him...
WTF..
What A Whore...
-.-

I said to myself..
"I accepted everything about her... and this is what I get"

She said that she doesn't want to be w/ me anymore..
because?
What?
I'm not satisfying you enough? is that It?
Oh god..
It is harder to tame a Whore..

*sigh*

Schoolmates...
I am not trying to say that my GF.. no... ex-GF.. is a whore..
I am just saying that she acts like one...

I don't want to say this publicly..
But...
It's hard to keep my feeling intact..

To LOVE...
To the point that I will give up one of my bestfriends just to be w/ her..

To CARE...
To the point that I lacked time w/ my beloved family just to be w/ her...

Her questioning every perveted things I know..
And stupid me answering it to her...

Damn...
She made a fool out of me...

I'm sorry Schoolmates...
I've been a jerk because of her...

Sorry...
I was wrong to trust her..
I was wrong to give her my whole self..

Be careful on trusting someone like her again...

And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels

Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels

*Repeat chorus*

La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly

*Repeat chorus 3x*

Gundam 00 Episode 22 Review

2008-03-11T13:57:00.000+08:00

WARNING: This is A Spoiler to those people who haven't yet watched Episode 22 =D

ok ok...
Hmm.
Once upon a time there were 3 siblings.. lol..
Ok... They were the Trinity's...
In This episode... 2 of the Trinity dies..
Killed by Ali-Al Sharshes..

Ok..

The Episode starts of showing Lockon still lying in a Bed.. Since he got pretty busted up in the last episode... The Doctor said that He's Injuries shall heal after 3 weeks..
And then w/ his Eyepatch, he went to see Tierie somewhere in the Ptelomaios..
They talked about Veda's connection to Tierie..
Feldt was actually listening in their conversation because she was super worried about Lockon.. lol

After that...
The United Nations made Public of the Gundam wipe out plan thingie..
Calling the Gundams.. Fallen Angels...
The UN actually thinks that they are now hot shots because they have fake GN Drives lol

After that,,, The Flag Custom of Graham Acre is being redeveloped to carry a Fake GN Drive..
* That Flag can match up w/ Exia?... NOT! lol XD *

And then.. Setsuna decides to go down to Earth and give the UN a piece of his mind, and to finally prove to himself that his precious Gundam is the best-est Gundam in the whole world. I am Gundam! Gundam. Also, the new GN arms’ assault container can apparently launch into space by itself, so everything’s cool even though Exia can’t use the space elevators anymore. (How convenient.)

Ok.. After that...
shows Ali, piloting an Enact.. Appears before the Trinity's..
And says he is not there to fight..
After landing.. He suddenly(not just suddenly... But Lightning fast lol) Kills Michael Trinity ( Just like Ali... A psychotic human XD )
After killing Michael.. Psycho Ali tried to kill Johann.. But stopped.. And Ordered Him to Ride his Gundam and they fight... Johann Shouts to Neena to Run... Johann's end... He died after fighting Psycho Ali... PSYCHO ALI STOLE MICHAEL'S GUNDAM!! XD

After that... When Ali tried to kill Neena... The GN Arms arrived w/ Exia..
And they fight.. Like always o_O...
Maybe.. Since Setsuna saved Neena.. Maybe Neena would become Setsuna's sex slave lol XD

After that..
Libonze finally manages to unlock Veda completely. Aeolia Schenberg’s cryogenically frozen ass shows up and he gets shot in the face a few times by Alejandro with a solid gold handgun that fires silver anti-vampire bullets.

But Aeolia planned for this and a hidden contigency routine in the system causes Veda to unlock all the (real) GN drives to function at their full potential. (Begging the question as to why Aeolia crippled them in the first place.) This happens just in time to save Setsuna from making a fool of himself as usual.

And by “full potential”, I mean “flamboyant red paint scheme”.

Instead of destroying Ali and ending this whole shit once and for all, Setsuna chops off a bit of Zwei and gracefully steps back to allow Ali to escape, while he hovers motionlessly in the air trying to strut the coolest pose he can muster with a bright glowing-red Gundam.

New and Improved Exia lol...

Btw... Michaels role is just soo lame... Dying so early.. I thought there would be a big war collision between the Thrones and Ptolemaios Gundams..

Oh well..

Good Michael's dead... Less Psychotic person in earth lol..

The New and Improved Systems is called... Trans-Am..

It's also the title of the 22th episode ^_^

Enjoy.. Spoiler Lovers out there.. COME! XD

2008-03-09T19:11:00.000+08:00

Well... I made my mistake...

She told me that she knew all along that even though we were always together... She saw in my eyes... That she was not the one I'm longing for...

But It was... "Mara"

Well... Good guess XD lol..

I told her that I will change etc etc for her...
But she can't absorb what I'm saying...
That she won't believe me that after 12 days she made me love her...
She won't believe that I accepted everything about her...

Now... I don't know if I'll run to Mara who is still in a relationship...
But yeah.. I'm single again lol...
More "Barkada" moments...

No more sweet kisses of Good bye...

And then we talked... and we talked.. and we talked...

And then.. I came to question her..

Me: Will you still be w/ your BF after 4 years or so?
Mara: probably... Not...
Me: will you call me when you break up ?
Mara: .. hahaha... Of course I will.. :D

There... XD...
She even told me that she was like so jealous when she saw me w/ my GF...
Because before... Mara was the only girl I've been playing w/ and talking for like the whole night until morning... But since I had a GF... All was changed...

The False Alarm

My GF's Mother came to school this morning and talked to the Academic head of our School...
So she talked to me that she thinks that the reason why her mother came is to tell the Academic Head about her Departure...

So we cried.. And We Hugged each other... Because It's only been 3 days since we took part in a relationship...

But thank God it was all a False alarm...
The reason why her Mom came was just too ask for the requirements because she was going to be enrolled on the same college that I will go to.. ( FEU (Far Eatern Universiry) )

Ahh heck... I was so Happy that it was all a False Alarm...
In the past 3 days that we've been together... I fell more and more to her... I soooo Love her very much... ^_^

Confused with Love XD

2008-02-27T18:59:00.002+08:00

Hmmm...

Today....

I think I just accepted someone... Who I have to learn to Love... Who cares for me more than I care for her....

Today.....

I think I just left the one that I truly Love... Leaving her to her BF.... And I think I must forget her... Since I gave her my love... and she returns nothing but problems because of her Boyfriend...

*sigh*

Maybe someday... I'll get over Mara....
And learn How to Love "D"...

because "D" cares for me...
And Mara looks like doesn't care for me...

*sigh*

I'm super confused... >_<

I really don't know what to do...

Ah heck...

"bahala na si batman! XD"

Was that a Date?

2008-02-25T20:13:00.002+08:00

Hmm...

Just got home from a "looks-like-a-date-but-it-isn't" XD
Well... Mara... Who is actually the person that I'm talking about in my other posts, My Close friend and also the one who I like like...
Called me 3 Hours ago.... She told me that she was having a problem about her boyfriend and she wanted me to go to where she is.... She's at a Restaurant that I always go w/ my friends ( Janet's )

Well.... When I arrived there... I saw her standing in front of the entrance.. Looking sad and gloomy... She asked me to eat and she will pay...

She ordered Chicken tempura w/ Rice... and I Ordered Shrimp tempura...

While eating... We talked about her boyfriend.... I was like listening... and at the same time getting hurt...
I'm giving her advices that are against my will...
I love her.... I don't want anybody hurting her...
I wanted her to be happy even though not w/ me...
She's still pretending that she doesn't know whom I Like in our school.... The fact that It is her... She still asks me and pretending that she doesn't know...

It looks like a date... since it's only the two of us... And we're eating... And talking about things etc etc...

She also told me... That she'll be a fool for her Boyfriend.. That She loves him very much that she will do everything just to be w/ him...
I advised her to stop it already... I hate seeing her getting hurt...
Oh crap... I fell in love w/ someone who is very stupid.... Stupid enough to fall for someone who will only treat her like crap...

i so hate her Boyfriend...
I hope she'll call me later... So that I can say that she's stupid again... lol...

Last year of the cheer!

2008-01-11T22:32:00.000+08:00

For 4 years.... High school students life at Holy child academy were centered into a cheerdance competition every Foundation day..

Me? I've been included in the squad every time... never missing a single performance every year...

Those who didn't join the squad are sent to do the Gymnastics competition..
It's Freshmen Vs Sophomores
And Juniors Vs Seniors(us)

Our practice started last December 27... Where our Christmas vacation ended in just a single text message of our acting leader....

We started a little early... We wanted to win very badly because we wanted to leave a good show in HCA before we graduate...

Well anyway..

We had a little accident a few hours ago when we were still having practice at school...

One of our Flyer's, (Erica), was being dismounted from a level 3 tower but when she fell... Her body was caught but due to human error.. her backbase, who was supposed to catch her back and head, was not paying attention... Her back fell and her head hit the ground... A thud was heard by all of us.. even the School academic head(Ma'am Robledo) who was watching the rehearsals of the other years heard the thud... She quickly responded and asked...

Me(A lifter) called the others to stand back.. I said to them that to predict that they didn't saw what happened so that It won't look serious... because once it looks like serious.. they will surely disqualify us... which we really didn't want to happen...

After the practice we sent erica to the General Hospital near the school to be scanned for any fracture in her skull... when the results came... oh god.. THANK GOD! There was no serious trouble...

We payed 2k php for the scan... Which was divided by 22 cheerdancers and 9 lifters in our squad...

*sigh*

I hope there will be no accidents this coming practices and during the actual performance...

I'll post the full video here when I get my hands on a video that will be captured during our performance on January 18 =D

The main heroine is Konata Izumi, an athletic and intelligent girl who, despite these attributes, is not in a sports club, and her grades remain low. Her laziness at school is due to her love for anime and video games, and she is not interested in much else.

Perfect World Philippines News!

2008-01-02T18:56:00.000+08:00

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol! It's been a while since I posted a PW news hehe..
Well anyway..

Lotus - Defended their territories
bHadBoys - Pawned Attackers and captured Carnage Territory
MaHaRoT - Successfully defended territory... Failed in their attack on Method
Method - Successfully Defended their territory.. Failed on their attack on MaHaRoT
Holy0rder - Nothing New
HolyOrder - Successfully defeated Trinity... 1 More territory before Trinity disappears on the Map
Trinity - 1 More territory and they're gone!
Invictus - Failed on their attack on Heritage
Heritage - Successfully defended their territory.
Majesty - Nothing New.
Phoenix - Successfully obliterated all of Zodiacs territory.. Zodiac now gone on the map..

-----------------------------------------------------

Well.... Trinity and Zodiac signed a treaty and formed an alliance called Celestial(like Celestial Being of Gundam 00). They said that they created that alliance to stop the tyranny of the 4 alleged allied/friendly clans of Lotus, HOL, bHadBoys, and Phoenix which is not true..
lol.

It is rumored that Celestial's first target is Phoenix..
Blaze be Phoenix! ready your weapons...
Fix the Catapults...
We will defend our territories!

2007-12-28T22:28:00.000+08:00

*sigh*...

One of the things that are keeping me busy.. and keeping me from my Online works...

Love....

Just think of this brief story...

Imagine...
You have an opposite gender friend...
Who has been w/ you for almost 4 - 5 years...
You've been friend for that long..
And then suddenly...
you felt something more special than a friend in him/her...

You felt that for those long years...
This was the only time that you felt this...

Those wasted years...

And now... The time comes and you professed that you have something more special feeling to that person... she suddenly tells you a story that she had a Boyfriend that she didn't told you about.... and then... saying that she will break up w/ him... but for not your sake... but for her sake....

Isn't that kinda.... hmmm... sounds like an uber lie...
It sounds that she is going to break up w/ one person for your sake...
But still.... I Love her... and I will do everything... everything for not failing....

-------------

*sigh*
That was refreshing XD

well anyways.... I'll be back tomorrow for some Perfect World News lol

Clannad Episode 8 (Brief review)

2007-11-25T08:57:00.000+08:00

*sigh* I've been busy this past few days....
So to make my blog active for a while.. I'll just post a brief review....
The whole story... But few picture :D ....
Kinda not in the mood lol
-------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pictures are randomly arranged...
Since I'm too tired to arrange them lol XD

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Story from start to end*

The story started w/ the trio making starfish again...
While Tomoya spacing out, then Nagisa snaps him out and Fuko says "another rude person".

Then the trio is seen in the corridor giving out the starfishes, Tomoya and Nagisa are more worried because there are more people not noticing Fuko..

Tomoyo arrives but she too can't remember Fuko, she even can't see her now...
Tomoya and Nagisa told Tomoyo that she had received a Starfish from Fuko..
But Tomoyo still doesn't remember a Fuko or a Starfish..

At the courtyard, the trio is doing their usual “enemy-ally” antics. It appears that Fuko actually developped a instinctive “wake up” when Tomoya is around while she is in her STAR mode.

Tomoya notices Mitsui, and calls her out. She notices them, but she wonders who they are. Tomoya is puzzled by Mitsui reaction and shows her a starfish. Nagisa begins to explain about the weddings, but she fails to understand. Tomoya is insistent and keeps repeating about fuko, but Mitsui thinks he is pointing at Nagisa. Of course, Tomoya begins to lose a bit his temper and points at Fuko, but Mitsui doesn’t see anyone beside of the 2, and so she wonders if they aren’t doing a prank at her. She then leaves.

Fuko has difficulty to handle this and runs away.
Nagisa wonders what is going on, and Tomoya explains everyone begins to forget about her, and it is possible that her existence is vanishing altogether. On their way home, Tomoya tries to cheer Fuko up, claiming Mitsui made a joke, and Nagisa tries to play along, saying Mitsui was probably busy. Fuko is still depressed, and Tomoya cheers her up, and she will do her best.

At home, Sanae and Akio did their best for the starfish fashion, but Nagisa is hard time not to shed tears. Akio notices it, but Nagisa is able to avoid any suspicions.
A customer arrives, but no one is going downstairs. Usual antics between a dying Akio with his faithful wife

Nagisa and Tomoya handle this instead. As they are outside, Nagisa can’t hold anymore and cries out. She apologizes she can’t hold that any longer, and she wonders what they will do. Tomoya pats her head, and tries to comforts her, as they will keep going this. (final part of the dream?)

Tomoya is heading to the dormitory, but he is barely avoiding another “emergency escape” of the rugby club. Sanae is of course after them, but it is useless. Tomoya gives her a little lecture about discpline or such. Then he gives her a starfish and talks about the weddings.

Youhei is having fun reading a manga, but when Tomoya mentions that Fuko waited for him, he is quite serious and a bit sad. He is talking about the fact of Ibuki Fuko is at hospital, and he learns about it, with the weddings etc.
He wonders if Fuko isn’t a fake, but as Tomoya doesn’t answer, he concludes she isn’t and he wants to check it up at the hospital. Tomoya tries to prevent him to do so, Youhei wonders why he does that, and Tomoya in his thoughts believes Youhei might forget about Fuko in this process. Youhei will do this anyway.

At school, Fuko is completely unable to give starfish, then Youhei arrives.
He was of course oversleeping and such, and Tomoya wonders if he didn’t receive a starfish yet, but Youhei is a bit puzzled about the mention of Fuko. The later tries to give him a starfish,

but they are interrupted by Kyou and Ryou, the former rushing to the blond joker, obviously scolding her for some deed (It looks like Youhei is giving trouble to her sister, because he is late etc).
Kyou then notices a starfish and wonders what is that. Ryou wonders about the star, then Kyou ask to them what they are doing with these, but Kyou is almost realizing of something. Ryou asks her if she remembered of something but Kyou is unable to do so. Nagisa and Tomoya try to say it is Fuko, and show them starfish. Unfortunately, Kyou is unable to remember at all, and she is pissed about this.

As fuko is carving starfish with the furukawa family and Tomoya, we can hear the discussion between tomoya and nagisa. Tomoya wonders if he will be the next, while Nagisa claims she won’t forget about her.

At school, Fuko is desperately trying to give her starfish to students, but it is pointless.
Youhei shows up later, and suggest them to go to eat. Tomoya is very worn out and asks him to go alone, and Youhei takes the opportunity to invite Nagisa for a “lover lunch”. Tomoya is very angry and orders him to stop. Youhei is a bit vexed and blurt out about Fuko.
Everyone is completely surprised by this, but Youhei is then serious and wonders what happened right now, as he said something weird. he can’t remember. Tomoya tries to make him remember, Nagisa as well. But youhei is unable to do so. However, Youhei is able to have some feelings about that “person”.

Fuko gives him a starfish, and he is able to get it, he doesn’t know what it is (shuriken? something else?), he doesn’t know.
Youhei is puzzled, and ask them to listen to him, that he doesn’t hate “that person”. that how he felt. Nagisa says it is Fuko, Youhei is trying hard to remember with that word, but Tomoya cuts it off, asking him to stop, as it is okay.
As he is leaving, Nagisa is commenting how Youhei is a nice person.

The trio is going on a trip outside, and they ask her when is Fuko’s birthday. Though it is a bit early, they want to give her a present.
They are stopping for an earring, but Tomoya is completely laughing out loud. Fuko is very hesitating with some party celebrating stuff etc.

The three of them are spending good time together. (Tomoya concludes he is like this: Starfish > Tomoya > Sea slug )

The trio is getting back at the bakery, but… Akio also forgot about Fuko, and they are staying strong, saying to fuko that Akio liked her very much.
Sanae shows up, and she is greeting the three of them! They are quite relieved, but Sanae is saying some things to Fuko in front of her, to an non existent Fuko. She is breaking down, saying she learnt about Ibuki sensei etc. She is very attached to Fuko, and Nagisa says she is there, and Sanae is crying, saying Fuko was part of the family.

At night, the three of them are on a bench, and Tomoya then suggest them to go to school now. Nagisa and Fuko are holding their hands.

>end

2007-10-30T22:33:00.000+08:00

Yes.. Yes... This is rather an uber LATE! news... I just wanted to blog it haha..

The mainstream media confirms what the social media has known all along: Filipina gamer Alodia Gosiengfiao is the queen of all Philippine otaku. Congratulations to Alodia on winning the Animax Kawaii Girl contest.

(News from Mike Abundo)

------------------------------

Ok.. For those who doesn't know Alodia ( my god... if your a Filipino and you don't know Alodia... I just want to kill you now XD), Alodia is.. I think half Jap half Filipina ..

She's also an avid online gamer...
I was a clanmate of her in an Online Game (ROSE Online)... That was during the OBT/CBT days.. When I was in Sirius... I think that clan was Daerogar...
Will be blogging more about Alodia... I've become Alodiaholic XD..

October's Last Territorial War (PW) Update!

2007-10-29T15:55:00.000+08:00

This'll be the last territorial war update for PW Philippines this October...
Since I think next weeks TW will be postponed due to LU Live Convention..
Well anyways...

As you can see...

HOL's Territory is... erm.... Almost took the whole map XD
and the former glorious clan of Zodiac... Now.... Little by little.. crumbling into ashes..
IMHO... Zodiac is weakening... from 6 territories... Now 2..

And HOL... Taking half of the map XD
In my opinion... Clans should form an alliance and attack HOL all at the same time... just to balance power in Perfect World...
Because if its not balanced.... HOL will take all the power in Perfect World...
To balance the strength of all clans.... Alliance must be formed to lessen the power of HOL..
I'm not angry with HOL or anything... I just want to express my opinion in the Territories..

Hmmm... Ok.. Let's continue..

Autobots 2nd territory taken by Majesty(former Burning Legion of pROSE Polaris)
Lotus attacked Trinity's territory and succeeded in cutting the territory into 3 - 1
Method still quite... XD
bHadBoys... erm.... failed in attacking Lotus territory.. :O
Ahh! Yes!
Trinity too is weakening IMO..
failed to defend 2 territory..
1 to H0L 1 to Lotus...

Well anyway...
GO! Phoenix XD
See yah Guys In LU Live <3 Nov 3 & Nov 4 @ Philippine World Trade Center <3

Lotus looses to trinity...
S*U*M .....
Some time ago.. even before last weeks TW started.... some of the members of this strong alliance came to Phoenix Clan for refuge..... For some misunderstanding in their own clan...
But then... A Clan ( Supremacy ) placed a bet on their territory.. and Well.... S*U*M eventually lost because of lack of man power...

But after they were defeated... They all left Phoenix clan and went back to their mother clan...
btw... S*U*M is an alliance of some clans that came from pROSE Online Polaris server... This includes Uragonz...

This week.... I heard from gossipers that Lotus was going to attack us... But then.. Our plan was to attack bHadBoys..... and show them the real power of Phoenix....

Go Phoenix!
Godspeed!

Let them taste the burning desire in our hearts...
The desire to end the disputes...
And to show them that we are not a force to be mingled with...

For we are Phoenix!
We will rise from the ashes of the past!

Congratz Phoenix!

We Stand...

We still control Languor and Lantern Mountain...
Arcadia our mother land...

We will rise from the ashes!
We shall rise from the past!

Defeated in the wings of the Phoenix!

The whole news update shall follow tomorrow...

I'll just wait for Lotus and Zodiac and HOL's fight tom to end...

Gratz again Phoenix!

Succeeded on defending Lantern Mountains from Aesteru™ ..
Succeeded in defeating the Zodiac forces on Blossom Castle. ( Zodiac was attacked by 3 clans in almost the same time.... They gave up 1 territory that was attacked by Holy Order Of The Light * green * ... Another one of their territory was attacked by The League * Former Zodiac Alliance members * Valor * Rebelled from Zodiac and formed their own Sirius Alliance... The League vs Zodiac.. Former Sirians.. vs former Sirians..... The League failed on the attack... Zodiacs forces was divided into 2... The main forces fended of The League... and the minor forces fended Phoenix... which they failed to defend their territory... The sheer brute force of the now refined and cooperative Phoenix members * thanks to bHadBoys.... we became very cooperative.. Next TW... Phoenix will be "again" attacking the Wuji Sea of bHadBoys and will now be hoping to succeed... Good work guys!
That makes 3 wins in a TW.. Nice Work...

Ragnarok Free-to-Play Server Launch Date

2007-10-08T19:04:00.000+08:00

Date Posted: Oct. 08, 2007

THE VALKYRIE DESCENDS on OCT. 10

Level Up! Inc., the undisputed market leader in the online gaming industry will mark another milestone with the next big addition to the world of Ragnarok!

This October 10, 2007 Level Up! will launch Ragnarok Online’s very own Free-to-Play server, Valkyrie. This is just another step in the continuing development of the highly diverse and detailed world that is Ragnarok Online.

Mon Macutay, Level Up! Marketing Manager, explains the goals of Valkyrie, “Ragnarok Valkyrie aims to grow the market by reaching out to people who are not used to paying the monthly subscription fee. Instead of paying for their game time, players can opt to buy in-game items using top-up cards which will help them in their adventures.”

As of today, Ragnarok Online has more than 7 million registered subscribers. Level Up! expects to grow that number even further as they open the free-to-play server this October.

Besides being free-to-play, Valkyrie’s server settings and features are considered firsts in the world of online gaming. Various maps are player-kill (PK) enabled which means players can attack one another without any warning.

“Valkyrie is all about community and competition – both factors fueled the success of the previous servers of Ragnarok Online and we believe that the PK feature combined with the free-to-play model will be the defining characteristics for Valkyrie,” explains Carlo Ople, Level Up! Brand Manager for Ragnarok Online.

RO players can relive the adventures all over again, only this time, they must watch out for both monsters and other players!

And all this will happen soon in Ragnarok Online: Valkyrie, The Battlefield of Legends!

Ragnarok Online is the first and longest running MMOPRG in the Philippines, dating back to June 2003 when it first had its public Open Beta Testing. With a solid track record of leadership in the online gaming category in its four years of existence, it is considered the most successful online game in the country – with no other game even coming close to the records it has set.

Players can download the Valkyrie installer at the official Ragnarok website on October 10, 2007. For more information, you can also visit www.ragnarok.levelupgames.ph/valkyrie.
