weak ib servers, honestly. no luck getting tok uploaded.

i'm still in the post-ioc mood! :D shucks, did no work yesterday and today. still in denial that we're in 'that phase' where you've completed all your ias and all you have left is to muggg for prelims and final exams. speaking of ioc- it was fun!! the poem analysis especially.

anyway if year5s asked me for ioc advice, i'd tell them this:

find one interpretation you're comfortable with and STICK WITH IT. no use wasting time and bumbling around with different possible meanings you're unsure of. just find one...and let it be. keep the other interpretations in mind for question and answer. ideally, i think we should analyse every single extract/poem ourselves and practise the whole thingy (20mins writing, 12mins ioc) twice for each poem/extract. that's a lot but quite a failsafe way, eh :P

shall now dedicate a paragraph or so to...starcraft 2!! lemme see, i shall review it.

i found the campaign a lot more stimulating/exciting/exhilarating than many other recent RTS games; although the storyline rather elastic, it's definitely way better than similar RTS games that allow 'choice making' in campaigns- say dawn of war 2; the maps are repetitive and you get horribly bored of them after a while. one thing about sc2- its campaign maps are rarely (if ever) 'kill all XXX on the map'- there's always some distinctly unique objective (eg. burn through door with laser drill, destroy trains before they pass) as compared to, say, red alert 3 or tiberium dawn? sc2 shames them all! the cutscenes, additional goodies in campaign mode and awesome campaign make it worth all the money you pay :D multiplayer is pretty fun too- i started just now, heh. played 2 unranked beginner games but never actually got my army to engage the enemy base directly, they left before i got a chance -_- still!

started playing ranked games just now after i got bored with unranked ones. teamed up with lee yang for 5 games or so, got beaten pretty badly in 2 or 3 of them. urgh! but learning the hard way is gooood :D i found it the same with dota- i learnt far faster through playing online and getting owned before that silly AI version came out and all the newbs went crazy for it. anyway, finished sc2 campaign some time ago- nearly cried at the end, it was a great ending ;) the cutscenes are nice okay.

mehhh work. work! tomorrowww
