音時雨 ~Regentropfen~

★ 溶けちゃう♪

This evening when I was waiting for the train going back I saw a person at the train station playing some light pieces on a classical guitar. So I changed my mind of waiting for the train outside and stayed inside. The pieces he played were like European folk tunes, but that of more of my interest was his fingers. I enjoy watching people's fingers when they playing music. Every finger movement is always so elegant and beautiful, regardless the player's actual skill. Pretty much like people who enjoy dancing or watching others dance. Although I myself don't understand anything in the art of dance, that I even can't accept ballets (especially from males).
Speaking of elegant things... that even after so many times I still want to say, cats are so elegant!

I MADE IT!

While last time I was struggling with getting rank S in BIOHAZARD -CODE: VERONICA-, soon after I had two rounds and eventually got it at the second try.

To get rank S, you've to complete it within 4.5 hours without any save. Mine was a little past 4 hours. I was surprised by I still have lots of time left.
The no save sounded harsh, but comparing to Silent Hill's 100-point requirements, this becomes nothing. Although I died 2 times with Nosferatu, and 1 time with hunter, fortunately it wasn't too far away from the beginning of the second half.
Then suddenly I got an impulse to run BIOHAZARD again -- good games simply make you want to play again and again -- and, I made it again, sort of...

The time bomb was stopped at the last second. Not only in animes, this happened on me as well! xD;;
And no need to mention I for sure had another hard fight with hunters. So far I've heard so many Biohazard lovers saying hunters are their trauma. They must be agents from Hell!
After doing so much BIOHAZARD, when I went to Yomawari, I naturally pressed ↑ and wondered "why she's moving behind!!". That's why radio-control is the most ideal when the camera angle is fixed. I don't know how many times I lost HP due to the confusing 2D-control when the camera angle changed in ZERO series.
At least, I literally finished Yomawari after leaving my PSV on for a couple of days. The playing-50-hour trophy was a devil, but still a cute thing in front of htoL#NiQ's 2'10''-completion of the maze in stage 2-3. ← I gave up. Will come back when I can handle BIOHAZARD 5's professional difficulty with a handgun. -_-''

Melted in Sound

Recently I'm addicted to Amano Tsuki(ko)'s "Genpuku", aka the ZERO collection.

Before I only know the first two songs, now I'm adding "ゼロの調律" and "鳥籠-in this cage-" into my favourites. While playing them, I was like melting in the sound of world. The ambience (even though I have no clue what ZERO 4 is about) is superb.
Suddenly, by staring at its tracklist, I realised:
1. the theme song of "ZERO 2 -紅い-" is 蝶, and
2. the theme song of "ZERO 3 -刺青ノ-" is 聲...
Moreover, I also realised how the title "ゼロの調律" does make sense to me.
When you tune a string, you're not supposed to give it any extra pressure = open string. In terms of fingering, this is always written as a "0" (programmers are more compatible with string instruments as the fingering begins from 0!!).
These must be done on purpose! (but why I'm so excited by this?)
Too bad ZERO series was moved to Wii system. I really wish they can be released on PlayStation again. I don't have a Wii and never plan to buy one -- their controller is a disaster to me.
-- at least include ZERO 1~3 into PS2 archives so I can do them on my PS3... Q_Q

Every Story Has Its "0"

There are Silent Hill 0, BIOHAZARD, with "ZERO" by itself, and now "Steins;Gate" also has its "0"!
But the real exciting news is this will definitely be animated! So I don't need to struggle whether I should play this game, which belongs to the genre of visual novel, the worst category I can handle. As a game player, although I'm bad at actions, it's still mild comparing to complicated battle systems in RPG's and subtle flaggings in visual novels. I'm better with the give-me-a-pipe-and-I-can-fight-to-end style. If only following my own thoughts, I usually end up with bad/wrong ends... lol
Anyhow, seems the topic has now moved to computers...
> Complex data structure, like hash/array in hash..., or any other equivalents is much helpful than a simple 2D data table. But no matter how you believe in it, people don't have the same mind just don't understand it and insist to put everything altogether. "Because I can see everything." < They keep saying.
But do you know how much more trouble you're causing to people who take care of the data?! So much that makes me willing to punch them at face. °A°
