Fourth

So there's a third, and who knows, there actually is a fourth! Yeah. There's yet another sequel to it, and that makes it a four-part series. Kind of rare to see this isn't it, a quadology(is there even such a word?!?) instead of a trilogy.

It went from secret, to secret:revenge, to curse, and now it's escape! Who knows where it'll go on from now?!?

なんか飽きた。毎日あのようにのはもごめんだ。でも、今はまだ逃げられない。どうしてもやらなければならない。どれほどいやでも。

未来のことを考えないと。このままじゃ・・・

Third time's a charm

So if there's a second time, then there's going to be a third time. And this holds true for Monkey Island too, seeing as the ending for the second was pretty confusing and cliffhanging. Makes sense to come up with a sequel, eh?

Anyways, the third one was a huge improvement from the first two, both graphics, and game system wise - even though it's still the same base engine. That's to be expected though, seeing as they've upgraded from MSDOS to the Windows UI.

Still the same old fun and humour, and puzzles of course.

ちょっと疲れた。最近の仕事は・・・もう言いたくない。それほど惨めだった。

でも、まだまだこれからだ！私を倒すのはそう簡単ではない！そう信じたい・・・

Retro again

Turns out that the Monkey Island that I mentioned previously actually had a sequel. Naturally, I have to go and find it and try it out myself. Can't say that the story is better, but it's nice to see what's going with them, though it's a pity that the two leads, or not, do not actually get together - for now.

Still in the process of going through it, so who knows, maybe they'll eventually get together?

明日は書けなかった。書きたいことがなくて、書けることもない。まぁ、一日はいいよね。うん。

今日はちゃんと書く。これを。うん。

Retro

Just read about a game that I played a long, long time ago when I was but a child. The Secret of Monkey Island.

So I went out to find it again, and now am reliving the experience. Old and outdated, but still as interesting and fun as ever. Yeah. As I've thought, the old stuff are indeed good.

ちょっとピンチ。いつも遊んでるゲームにちょっと問題があった。

だから、今は・・・まぁ、そういうこと。

Moving along

After much burning and falling, life still goes on. Regardless of how one might feel about the world around one, and about the things that happen and the people and the, and the, other stuff, the flow keeps going and nothing really stops, other than oneself if one so wishes.

Enough nonsense. Time to go back. Move along.

結構長くやってきた。自分が動きたくなくても世界は誰も待たない。つまり、とまりたいなら自分勝手でとまれ。お前がとまった間世界とほかの人々は進めってく。

もうでたらめはよしにしよう。早く進めよう。

Falling

Too much to do and too little time.

Too high expectations with too little resources to achieve.

Unreasonable and stubborn.

This is but the tip of the iceberg. The world is a very complicated and messy place indeed. The balance between yourself and others and the world is a delicate scale.

あんまりうれしくない。あるものや人が原因かもしれない。すべてはこの世界の一部だとわかるけど、やっぱり認めない。認めたくない。

人との関係はとても繊細だ。私には理解できない。それに理解したくない。そう決めた。

夏祭り

ただいま戻った。夏祭りへ行った。でも、特別なことはほとんどしなかった。

ただ食べ物を買って、夏祭りのショーを見ながら食事をした。ゲームとかぜんぜんしなかった。

惜しかった。今回は食事よりゲームを。そう決める。

Went out for pretty much the entire day today. Left home early in the morning at around 8 am for a work-related seminar, which lasted till around 5pm in the evening. Though food was provided (2 tea breaks and lunch), it was still quite a chore to sit through the entire day, considering that it's a weekend.

Then I went over to a summer festival celebration over at the Japanese school over at Changi with some of my friends where we took a walk around the place and bought some food (expensive for what they were worth) and ate as we watched the programs.

That pretty much summed up today. Almost no free time of my own, and there are still matters to settle tomorrow. Bleh. Hate it when you don't get time of your own.
