Atlas Reactor: Ranked game score

Image
Here are some ranked matches where, in my opinion, I did pretty well. Problem with ranked games is that I cannot play more than 2 games in a row. My heart rate shoots up high haha. Contribution: Finn - 579 (highest) Blackburn - 299 (lowest) I (using Zuki) did particularly well here with highest damage, about 100 more than the second highest (by enemy's Titus!). However, Finn has the highest contribution. Thanks to his large amount of heals, his death was the only one in the team. Contribution: Grey (me) - 539 Aurora - 556 (highest) Nix - 306 (lowest) This game was closer than the score suggests. The weakest link in enemy's team was, if I recall correctly, Pup. He took some rather dubious actions. Our team started on a bad note during the draft phase. Garrison's player was the last to pick and we urged him to pick support. Asana's player offered to swap with him and later told us that he noted that Garrison's player had the Saviour title (Mastery...

Puchong in Atlantic Ocean

Image
I regularly receive e-mails from Groupon (incidentally, they are changing to Fave) and sometimes I check whether there are any deals of interest. I usually look for Japanese and Western food deals as these are usually safe choices for Ban and I. I came across a deal from Bonbori but unfortunately this Japanese restaurant is situated in Puchong, which is considered far for us. Then, I saw the inserted map: Well, apparently Puchong is somewhere in Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Africa. That is way too far for us for sure hahaha.

Atlas Reactor: Dr Finn gameplay

Image
I've actually finished recording this before blogging about Dr Finn.  However, I think my sister's internet was not good enough to upload it to Youtube. I just recently remember not having done so hehehe. Alas, I gave up on playing Dr Finn. I just can't play him well enough for my liking :( There's, however, a new support freelancer, Khita, incoming who has can provide similiar amount of shield (on multiple adjacent allies!) and heals (but conditional) but can dash! I''ll definitely give her a try once she's out.

Blind Eye

Fidget the Rottweiler lumbered out to the garage door and thumped himself down in the sunshine. He was huge. And unlike the McLeods' second-hand Alsation, Fidget definitely looked as if he could outrun an out-of-shape Detective Sergeant. And then eat him. .......... 'I am a professional,' he told the bedside lamp, 'I promise I will not sulk.' Like hell he wouldn't. He dragged himself through the shower and down to breakfast, disappointed to see that Jaroszewicz was already there, tucking into another bowl of muesli. For a brief moment he thought about giving her the cold shoulder and grabbing another table, but he'd made a promise to his besides furniture. .......... What was the collective noun for nuns? Flange? Flock? Logan watched as they stopped to harangue a young man for dropping his McDonald's wrapper on the path. The guy held out for a whole thirty seconds, before grabbing up the wrapper and hurrying away to the nearest bin. A Ter...

Atlas Reactor: Lockwood

Image
Lockwood, a firepower, is one of the original batch of freelancers. In fact, he is the introductory freelancer to beginners via tutorial. His abilities are rather straight forward and newbie-friendly, and yet once mastered he is a powerful freelancer. A popular choice of pick/ban during tournament matches. Initially, I didn't like to play him because I felt I'm underutilising him by not positioning well to take advantage of his Trick Shot's bouncing shots. I'm still not really good at positioning (hehehe) but at least, I think, I've improved on bouncing the shots. Of course it helps that I've finally found a set of mods that I'm comfortable with, after experimenting with a few sets. They are (loadout points in bracket): (1) Trick shot: On the move (2) (2) Light 'em up: Phosphorous round (1) (3) Trapwire: Trapwall (3) (4) Backup plan: Kinetic dash (1) (5) Run and gun: Burst of speed (3) Generally, for all freelancers, I look for consistency an...

For 2 years

Following on the previous post , (1) I collected the pathologist's report from Dr B. He added that the slides given were "incomplete". I forgot to ask him what it meant @@ He also contacted the public hospital's head of urology department and highlighted my dad's case to him. The latter asked his team and the pathology's team to re-examine my dad's case and the conclusion remained the same: adenocarcinoma found in kidney but primary site is unknown. (2) Before meeting Dr B, my dad had already taken tumour marker test for pancreatic cancer and this time, the reading was far below the critical level i.e. no indication of such cancer. Since we were going to be in Butterworth for CNY , we made an appointment and met Dr A to present the results of his recommended steps . The OGDS and colonoscopy showed nothing in particular except for inflammation of the stomach due to H. Pylori. My dad had finished the course of medication and is scheduled to meet the ...

CNY 2017

Previous year, my sister and her family managed to come down to Seremban from Butterworth for Chinese New Year. As in recent years, we had CNY eve's potluck dinner at my eldest uncle's house. However, this year, as customary, they celebrated in Butterworth with her in-laws. My parents initially wanted to join her but couldn't because of various medical appointment. Suddenly, just over a week before CNY, my dad called me and told me that they had re-arranged their appointments such that they could be in Butterworth for about a month, including CNY period. He asked me whether I wanted to hitch a ride with him or not. I took a day to consider and planned my trip back to KL (in the end, I chose the electric train). So a day later, I met him in PJ where we had lunch at a pet-friendly restaurant, Kalamazoo, because we had my parents' pet dog with us. I didn't sleep well the night before and was feeling a little nauseated. My dad was considerate and offered to drive ...

Bleach: The 1,000 Year Blood War

I've finished watching Bleach anime years ago but Ban and his brother told me that its manga still continued with one more arc. After reading information on some characters on Wikia, I was sufficiently intrigued to read the last arc. I enjoyed reading all the stories within the arc, including the back stories. Yes, as with past arcs, there are some curious mumbo-jumbo i.e. puzzling information but well...you'll have to hand-wave and move on haha. There's still room to develop more stories both for future timeline as well as the past e.g. concerning the Soul King. I hope these will be materialise. One major problem I had in reading the manga was the confusion caused during the fighting scene. I couldn't visually tell whose power was being exerted. At first I thought it was just the nature of manga but then now I remember I didn't have such problem with Battle Angel Alita and Akira. It's unfortunate that due to plummeting popularity, the anime didn't sho...
