Dota 6.03b 道具之六


原文: Angelic Benemoth
中譯: 聖貝希摩斯劍

貝希摩斯為伊斯蘭神話中, 世界上最巨大的生物, 別名 "陸之王".

與海之王 "里拜亞桑" 齊名, 同是受神恩准, 想變多大就能變多大的巨獸.

聖貝希摩斯劍則是世上唯一能殺傷幾近無敵的貝希摩斯的聖劍, 雖然仍無法將其殺死. 但至少可以用來約束貝希摩斯.

此劍一直為神族持有. 人類無法使用.

效能: 攻擊力 +350
附加能力 (被動型): 20% 機會震暈敵人 1 秒, 20% 機會將敵人裝甲 -5 七秒, 20% 機會造成額外傷害 150 點.

Dota 唯一第四級, 同時也是最強的寶物. 跟 Divine Rapier 相同, 如果持有的英雄死亡, 該武器會立刻掉在地上. 所以建議與 Aegis of Immortal 合用 (至少可以多死幾次).

可說是 Dota 中的核彈頭. 如果由力量型英雄持有, 幾乎可以宣告遊戲結束. Posted by Hello

怪怪的. 老覺得還有什麼事情沒做.

昨天晚上跳舞課考晉級考, 很奇妙的, 竟然通過了. 老師的眼睛不知道在看哪裡. 如果我自己給自己評分, 大概都會 Fail 我自己.

仔細想想, 大概是快要考 Final 了吧. 作業跟考試也差不多開始堆積起來了.

可是又不太像...... 到底是什麼事情忘了呢...?

Limit

It turns out that I miss her a lot lately, which surprised me.

Funny how I didn't see this coming.

Thought if I try not to call her and not email her and stop msging her and get out of her life, I'll be happier...

Well, I am happier. But somehow it felt like something's missing.

I wish I can still do something for her. Anything.

I wonder what's the limit of love? Or is love limit-less?

All I want is her happiness, with me by her side or not. I'd do anything I can to make her smile. Even though she's not my girl anymore, I'm still hers.

Is that true love? Or is it merely a twisted feeling in this twisted world? Simply want someone to be happy and ask nothing in return doesn't seems making any sense to many.

Sometimes, even not making any sense to myself. And whenever that thought came up, I'll press it down by thinking how much I owned her. And so much she had given me that I can never return no matter what.

So I'll still do anything for her, just to make her happy. Even when she doesn't need me anymore.

Is that true love? Is that the best I can do? Or can I do better than that?

--------

At least, I can hope that as time passes on, I'll finally be able to actually move on.

This is stupid... as usual...

---

Well, of course, I didn't continue after that...
Well, blogger has been acting weird for the last couple days.

I couldn't post anything until now.

My last long vacation of 6 days is officially gone. And I've spend 5 of them in Seattle, if you count thursday night and monday morning as 2 days.

Thursday night was fun. I got to pretend to be Michael (Ken's pharmacist friend) and go to this dinner with him. Why do I have to pretend? Because it's a medicine-company-treated-dinner, for pharmacists only. We get to sit down at a fancy resturant by the ocean and eat luxuary food for free, as long as we hear this Doctor from this compnay keeps bragging about their new medicine.

Honestly, I don't understand a word.

But at least I get to have a free dinner.

---

Friday, Saturday and Sunday all went like the same. Ken gotta work. So I stayed home and "try" to do my homework. Resisting the urge of playing GC and watching TV.

It's weird. I don't watch TV. But without my computer, I guess TV is better than nothing.

And it's always easier to do nothing than actually doing something.

---

Back on monday morning. That's the first time I went to Ken's and they checked my luggage. Accusing me for bringing too much stuff for such a short trip. Well, I hate to be called a liar, but I really didn't bring that much stuff.

In my luggage, there were only... Gamecube, AV output, Power Unit, 2 controllers, 4 games, 10 book of Hunter X Hunter, 1 blanket, 1 jeans, 2 cloth, 3 text books, 2 sets of notes, 1 binder, 1 calculator, 1 pen, 2 underwears, 3 pairs of socks, 1 waterbottle, 1 toothbrush, 1 showering towel, 1 glasses case, 1 glasses...

That's all. Not a lot. Come on! You custom guys never have girls traveling? They'll have 2 travelling case full of stuffs even on a 2-day-trip.

...

No offence to any girls...

...

I was glad I went Seattle, coz I get to be in the same country with her for 4 days.

Just the thought of that makes me feel glad for a long long time... cute...

Failure

No DOTA for 4 days... this is tough...

I wonder if 6.04 or 6.05 has came out already.

---

Been delivarying lunch to Ken for the past 3 days. 1st day I cooked Beef & Pork Curry on rice. 2nd day he had the leftovers of 1st day's curry. And today's lunch was Jack-In-The-Box...

Man... that must means I'm a lousy chef. He'd rather have fastfood instead of my hand-made lunch box. ^_^

Oh well, if it's for the best...

---

It's actually pretty quite up here. But for some reason, without my computer, I can't concentrate on my hws. Well, I'm still doing them, just at a much slower pace than I've expected.

As usual, expectation always exceeds. Weird... or not...

星期四, 3月 24, 2005

再半個小時要去美國.

嗯... 要帶什麼呢?

這應該是 Final 前最後一次放長假了~ 雖然說我的假也太多ㄌ點.

不過算了. 習慣就好.

Dota 6.03b 道具之五


原文: Burize-do Kyanon
中譯: ...

中文翻譯有點難.

這要從出處開始解釋. Burize-do Kyanon 其實是取 Blizzard Cannon 的諧音而來.

Blizzard 在製作 Diablo 2 的時候, 本來想在裡面加上一個會投射暴風雪的大砲. 可是又不想直接叫它 Blizzard Cannon (跟公司撞名, 而且也太了無新意), 所以後來就變成 Burize-do Kyanon. 算是有點半搞笑的名字.

本來中文是想叫爆冰砲, 可是就變成在翻譯 Blizzard Cannon...

有人很閒的幫我想個好翻譯ㄇ?

上圖是... 忘ㄌ從哪抓來的, 感覺上如果 Burize-do Kyanon 出現在 Starcraft 中應該要長類似這個樣子. 所以就貼上來了~

效能: 攻擊力 +75
附加能力 (被動型): 會心一擊, 20% 機會造成 2.2 倍的傷害.

上次提到由於跟金箍棒功能太像, 又明顯比金箍棒強 (雖然差ㄌ一千塊). 所以在 6.03 中攻擊力被調降到只剩 +67. 後來 6.03b 又調到 +75. 造成的傷害加成也一直在調整, 本來的 2.0 倍現在變成 2.2 倍.

Dota 6 要做到完全平衡還有很長一段路要走... 至少要到 6.10... 6.11 吧.

SC III

可惡. 剛看到 GamePro 上報導劍魂 3 是 PS2 限定版 (家用主機而言).

幹麻出在 PS3 上阿~~~~~ 嫌 Loading Time 不夠長是不是~~~~~

害我一大早就心情不好, 他媽ㄉ.

可是之前也有謠言說 SC3 是叉叉盒限定版. 大概還是要等 Namco 正是發布官方新聞稿才能定案吧. 還有一線希望.

---

恭喜 Jerry~~~ 第二名耶~~~ 超強的~~~

我下星期三也要考晉級考, 還在決定要跳什麼東西. 大概會是 Cha-Cha, Jive, Waltz 跟 Quickstep 吧.

雖然跟 Quickstep 比起來我比較想跳 Tango... 因為可以含著玫瑰花... 很屌... (被刺到滿嘴是血就更屌...)

昨天貼神奇寶貝展覽會場的時候太興奮ㄌ. 應該解釋一下, 那是愛知世博會的園區之一. 也是全世界最大的神奇寶貝 Theme Park. 我本來就很想去世博會, 現在看到這個更是不得了.

正在認真考慮跟學校貸款...

Okay... This is the final blow.

BY ALL MEANS!!!!! I HAVE TO GET THERE!!!!!!

從來沒有這麼想要去一個博覽會過... 這個我如果錯過的話會含恨吧!!!

非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可非去不可!!!

Luv this morning~

This morning I fell.

I fell hard on the ground and smashed my face into the door, which is a pretty fun way to start the morning. ^_^

Honestly, how many days we started with face in the door.

I'm glad that I was wearing my plastic glasses, not my glass glasses, otherwise it could have been much much worse.

---

At the swimming pool, I was trying to do some new tricks but ended up swallowing a lotta of waters. Man. A LOT!!

Since the "slow lane" was pretty full this morning, I had to go to the "fast lane". And everyone in the fast lane was doing this turning and spinning thingy when they reach the end of the pool.

Well, how hard could it be? Just a spin, right?

...

Not really... It was hard...

I tried a couple times and either my head ended up at the bottom of the pool, or after a big spin I was still facing the end of the pool...

It was pretty ugly.

And adds more fun to my already enjoyful morning~

Life is wonderful~

Dota 6.02 道具之四


原文: Monkey King Bar
中譯: 如意金箍棒

...

應該是

原文: 如意金箍棒
英譯: Monkey King Bar

齊 天大聖孫悟空所使用的兵器. 原為大禹治水時遺留在東海的定海神針. 金箍棒兩端為金箍,中間為一段烏鐵; 箍旁鐫有一行字:"如意金箍棒,重一萬三千五百斤". 撇開遠距又強到不可思議的神兵 "繁弱" 不談, 這該是中國傳說中攻擊力最強的兵器 (因為最重吧?).

上圖是大聖王創刊號的封面.

金箍棒第一次出現在英文線上遊戲中應該是在 PSO 裡面. 記得那個遊戲的人大概也不多了...

效能: 攻擊力 +75, 攻擊速度 +15%
附加效能: 30% 機會造成額外傷害 100 點, 並將敵人震暈 0.01 秒 (?).

在 鬥塔裡面這把應該跟 Burize-do Kyanon 不相上下. 雖然攻擊力少了 21 點, 也沒有會心一擊的能力, 不過由於便宜 1000 多, 而且攻擊速度 +15% 到後期大概可以稍微彌補跟 Burize 的差距. 適合... 所有非魔法傷害系的英雄使用.

對了, 在鬥塔裡面它的圖片像把斧頭一樣, 非常 Misleading...

Chicago

她到 Chicago 出差, 我卻很緊張.

一直在看 Chicago 最近有什麼新聞, 和那邊的天氣怎麼樣. 畢竟, 已經三個多月沒有跟她在同一塊大陸上了.

雖然也不會見到面, 不過能感覺到她在附近, 就已經很幸福了~~~

完全沒救ㄌ...

Dota 6.02 道具之三


原文: Mekansm
中譯: 瑪肯之心

瑪肯為瑞奇太古神話中, 太陽神的第三個兒子. 在神話時代的終結 - 諸神之黃昏大戰前夕, 瑪肯與他兩位哥哥為了爭奪他們美麗的妹妹海斯而大打出手.

太陽神最後下令, 誰能殺死肆虐愛琴海長達三百年之久的海鱷龍, 誰就能迎取海斯.

三兄弟裡最誠實勇敢的瑪肯, 在獨力絞殺海鱷龍後, 被兩位哥哥用鱷龍的牙齒殺死..

太陽神後來為了紀念瑪肯, 就將他的靈魂烙印在瑪肯之心上, 並送給海斯佩帶.

在諸神黃昏時, 由於瑪肯之心的神力保護, 海斯是唯一毫髮無傷生還的女神.

效能: 所有屬性 +22, 裝甲 +3
附加能力: 遭受攻擊時, 有 7% 的機會無敵兩秒鐘

在 6.00 中最強, 最搶手的寶物. 幾乎適合所有英雄使用. 原本是有 9% 的無敵機會, 後來在 6.01 中被大幅調降為 7%. 6.02 我剛剛試玩的時候似乎從來沒有無敵過 (雖然還是標 7%, 不過說明不準確是鬥塔中常有的事). 如果沒有意外, 可能在 6.03 中就在也看不到這寶物了, 原因是太強, 又太容易收集 (三個 Null...).

安息吧, 瑪肯之心...

磅秤

家裡的磅秤不知道被老媽收到哪裡去了. 游了兩星期的泳, 也不知道有沒有瘦一點.

本來晚上要跟 Jessica 出去, 不過她臨時要上班, 所以就算ㄌ. 有點想去租錄影帶來看, 可是 d/l 下來的 Simpsons 都還沒看完.

說起來, 三月也過一半ㄌ.

我還是沒決定好暑假要幹麻... 很想去日本看展覽...

---

Dota 6.02 出ㄌ喔~~~

---

難得最近心情很好~~ 又很閒~~ 或許是風雨前的寧靜吧, 四五月的大考已經悄悄的接近ㄌ~ 而我卻依然悠閒~~~

嘿嘿... 明天再開始準備吧.

---

對ㄌ, Jeremy 回到人界. Warcraft 還是打不贏他, 我實在是 Dota 太多ㄌ點.

昨晚難得跟小龜講到話~ 他最近不知道是吃錯什麼藥, 講話越來越有道理, blog 上面還寫社論...

奇妙ㄌ. 現在好像 blog 裡面內容最沒營養的就是我了 (跟 Shirley... ^_^)

ㄟ.. 我也想去劍湖山..

MBT

MBT stands for Major Boring Thursday.

And as the title states, it was majoring boring.

I was working on my AIF for waterloo today, and realized that I have no EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES at all!!

Well, the following are what I've put down, they have to be the things I did "extensively" other than school within the last 2 years.

Ballroom Dancing: 2004/04 - Current, 3 hours per week, I started ballroom dancing while working In Taiwan, and I am a member of UBC dance club.

Blogging: 2003/02 - Current: 7 hours per week, I've been maintaining and writing my personal experiences and thoughts on http://neoxaser.blogspot.com - this site Is currently the top search result on most search engines (google, yahoo… etc.) and has visiting rate of 100/week.

Video Game / PC Game: 1987/12 - Current, 20 hours per week - I've been playing video games and computer games since grade one, and will probably still play a lot In the future.

Golf: 2002/05 - Current, 3 hours per week, I've started golfing two years ago and still practices every week.

And that's all I can think of.

If we consider the fact that I was lying about Golf and Ballroom dancing, all I did other than school are video games and blogging. Hmm... perhaps I should put reading japanese manga on AIF too, but I don't think that's gonna help in any way.

... interesting ... not that I don't like this, it's just... interesting ...

Well, I went NWSS today. Same old same old high school. Nothing special about it.

星期三, 3月 16, 2005

也不是沒有發生什麼很倒楣的事.

本來以為滿分的考卷莫名其妙被扣ㄌ三分.

今天 S3 幾乎沒贏過. 偏偏又只打贏一個不該打贏的人 (我剛加入的精算社社長..) 到時候複習的 Material 不給我, 或者 Group Study 的時候故意不給我知道怎麼辦?

本來也不是很想跟他打, 可是中午連輸七八場一肚子怨氣總要找人發洩一下~

最近應該還算是蠻努力在減肥的, 至少東西都沒有亂吃, 而且還幾乎每天都有去游泳. (雖然才兩星期而已..)

本來晚上有點想出去喝點東西再回家, 不過實在太累ㄌ. 還是乖乖的滾回來.

...

她這星期要去 Chicago 出差... 我去找她的機會不知道有多少...?

...

可是, 心情還是很好, well, shit happens~~~

It's all good.

Dota 6.01 道具之二


原文: Stygian Desolator
中譯: 地獄守

希臘神話中, 掌管守誓河 (又名三途河, 環繞地獄之河) 的死神之武器.

通常形狀為鐮刀, 不過似乎也可以任意變形成其他形狀. 刀柄為亡靈血, 刀身則是由黑帝斯 (地獄之王) 親自打造而成, 成分不明.

對生物的靈魂直接造成傷害, 所以被砍到並不會有外傷, 只不過痛苦到生不如死而已.

效能: 攻擊力 +60
附加能力 (被動型): 將對手裝甲 -6, 持續 5 秒

幾乎是適合所有 Hero 使用的武器. 裝甲 -6 以後被打到真的很痛.

Can't live like this anymore...

Last night I couldn't sleep.

And the reason is ordinary - something bothers me.

Well... I'm a fast sleeper. And for those of you who knows me well, I can easily fall asleep under almost any circumstances (some are dangerous).

I ought start the story from last friday.

---

Friday nights equals no more party nights - I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

So there I was, dragging my feet home and started doing this big assignment I gotta hand-in by Monday. To my surprise, this assignment is actually pretty fun to do. We get to simulate and manipulate a bunch of data and fooling around with a lot of numbers... sounds like some major fun for geeks. Well, I guess I still had party - math party.

Math is fun. If you know what you're doing.

...

Around 11pm, I decided to take a break and started Dota. After 20 min., I kinda realized that playing by myself is not that productive. And those trash talks over battle.net are rather repetitive. And repetitive is rather boring.

So I hooked up my GC and started Monkey Racing. After beating a couple of Ken's record, I've realized that it's kinda boring too. I mean, what's the point of beating his record if he's not going to beat my record back?

By the time I decided to stop Monkeying, I was pretty tired to change disc and thus rolled to bed and fell asleep soon after.

---

Saturday I was suppose to go BBQ with Shirley, but it turns out my parents need me to help them in the afternoon - to pick up some guys and to do some garden work. Basically that means I'm stuck at home again and I had no choice but keep working on my big assignment.

If producing an assignment is like building a boat, Friday night I finished sketching my boat, I've spend Saturday all day to build the bones of the freaking boat and finally, warpped it up by Sunday Noon.

After I eventually printed out the assignment, a sense of satisfication and joy of fullfillment filled my heart. And I decided to slack for the rest of the day, trying to ignore the fact that I still have 2 assignment due this week.

I played a couple more Dota, loaded up my RE4 and was thinking if I should play Wind Waker or not...

Later that night, I went out to watch Robots with Jessica. Hmm... to make it simple and nice, that movie is for people who are under age of 11.5. Just a graphically pretty (not even stunning) movie to me.

After the movie, I got home, and fooled around the Internet, then my GC, and went to bed.

To my surprise, I couldn't sleep.

I suddenly realized that I can't live like this anymore!!

I need to start, I need to get going!!

I gotta stop mindlessly playing RE4 and Dota. I need a target!

And the problem comes.

Technically speaking, I should be finishing up my Pikmin 2 and Wind Waker. But lack of motivation is dragging me away from playing those great games.

Perhaps it's a good time to get a new game. But the question is, which one?

I stayed up all night, thinking:

Should I get Minish Cap? But the replay value is low.
Should I get Metriod Prime 2? But it's a little too complicated for now and I may not have time to finish it.
Should I get Viewtiful Joe 2? But it seems like it's just Viewtiful Joe, again.
Should I get Mario RPG? But Cal says he'll lend me. And again, no replay value whatsoever.
Should I get Street Fighter Anniversary Edition? But I'll need a joystick... and a PS2...
Should I try to get in some clans of Dota? ... well ... Ben... should we do that?

...

...
...

It turns out I stayed up till 4 in the morning, and still couldn't figure out which one i should be getting or to be doing. It'll probably be minish cap. But my heart is not yet settled.

My conclusion is:

Life is hard... full of choices... hopefully I'll get a better sleep tonight, since I've already sorta decided which game I'm going for.

God bless...
