My house is haunted

For all you non believers please click the back button if you’re not open minded enough.

Recently, there have been really weird things happening when I’m asleep.. normally I leave my computer on at night.. my grandmother told me that I should not do that because it was the 7th month.. some people die young you know. Esp those korean gamers that die while playing too much pc games.

So, I overclocked my pc recently, and it is common knowledge that geeky and obsessed people really like this kinda stuff.

The first time it came to visit was when I left my pc on overnight. It had an unstable overclock. How did I know? When I woke up, there was blood on my 22″ LCD monitor.. it read “ur comp bsod at nite i help u change the bios already”. Of course, the ghost was korean, but he used babelfish before writing the bloody message.

My heart was furious. Furiously pumping. I was scared. I booted up my PC, and spammed the delete key on my spare keyboard to get into the bios to check what he changed. EIST was off, and the cpu vcore lowered from 1.36v to 1.3v. HOLY ****! I didn’t believe in ghosts and was a naive atheist, but now I BELIEVE!

The second time.. was when I was playing GRID at 4am. I was getting really sleeping and skidding more than a drunk 80yearold. I looked at my watch.. it was 4:43am.. about a minute later, my hands suddenly felt numb. BUT they were moving! Just not from my will.. I saw my hands quit the current Muscle car race, and enter a drifting one! The points shot up like nobody’s business, drifts after drifts after drifts after chains after chains of drifting later (about 10 laps) the scoreboard came up. “I” scored so high, that the score went into the negative because of the integer limit..

But who cares! My hands weren’t numb anymore! But the back of my right hand started burning like hell.. I couldn’t remember what happened next, except that when I woke up it was already 12pm. I looked at my hand, and saw “arigatou” burned into my skin. O_O!!!

The third time.. wasn’t as exciting.. he just came and vandalized my desktop. It happened just awhile ago o.o

The 6 rules when riding an Elevator/lift

1. There will be no talking to anyone, including a person you know.
2. Avoid eye contact with others at all times.
3. Maintain a “poker face”; no emotion is permitted to be shown.
4. If you have a book or newspaper, pretend to be deeply engrossed in it.
5. In bigger crowds, no body moment is allowed.
6. You must watch the floor numbers change at all times.

Most people follow these rules without knowing it =D

Welcome to the NHK

From wiki:
The story centers around a twenty-two-year-old hikikomori who gets aid from a strange girl who seems to know a lot about him, despite never meeting him before. A common theme throughout the story deals with the hardships of life and how people must deal with them in their own way.

Really good anime that could well be a live action drama. If you like korean dramas, this must be a japanese version! … .. I never liked korean dramas though. LOL

PC360

I bought an xbox360 wireless controller today. This makes it possible to play console games that have been released on PC as well! For example, Racer Driver GRID, and Devil May Cry 4.

Really cool! $70 bucks to get a nice “console” gaming experience, with 5.1 sound too. Rofl!

GRID, the controller, and the receiver at the bottom right.

Dear reader

What does it feel like to have to spend your weekdays doing NS?
What does it feel like to have someone waiting for you to be available on weekends?
What does it feel like to have people that smses you regularly? I’ve always wondered how people use up their free smses.
What does it feel like to have your feelings reciprocated?
What does it feel like to have more people approach you for your company, than for the answers you can provide?
What does it feel like, to meet your ‘ex’es o.o
What does it feel like, to not be able to buy every single thing you want, because of money?
What does it feel like to have 2 parents instead of one?
What does it feel like to have a special someone?
What does it feel like to watch a sunrise with that special someone?
What is it like to view the world in terms of feelings instead of logic?

Don’t give me an answer.. I know the answers. I know how it feels like.. I know the reasons for the feelings, I know how they feel like..

I know everything. But I lack something.

(PS: I have a long reason and logic laced answer for that too.. if you want to tell me what I lack)
(PSS: If you know that is..)

Afro Samurai

I watched Afro Samurai today.. it’s an anime style movie.

From IMDB:
In a strange world of swords, guns and kimonos, cell phones and cybernetic body parts - a black samurai, Afro Samurai (Samuel L. Jackson), seeks revenge from a man named Justice (Ron Perlman) who killed his father and also happens to be the #1 fighter in the world. After Afro earns the rank of #2 fighter needed to challenge the #1, he starts his lonely walk to revenge. He faces bounty hunters, bar thugs and fanatical monks - all of whom seem to have clues to the whereabouts of Justice and all of whom covet the position of #2 for themselves. Also along the way we are introduced to Afro’s chatty companion - the light hearted Ninja Ninja.

I would rate it 8/10. It has a simple plot, but is extremely stylistic.. lots of explicit scenes, blood and gore. Very very good fight scenes! It was also weird to have high tech stuff in ancient japan, + gansta talking monks. Lol!

First real try at Overclocking

By some circumstance which I am lazy to tell a grandmother story about, I was able to get a new motherboard and cpu (and ram).

The Zerotherm heatsink, Core2Duo E7200, MSI P35 Neo2 FR, and two 2GB Kingston DDR2 800Mhz (yes, I typed this line from memory.. if you think i’m geek then D:< *angry face for you*)

Uncovered.

CPU Heatsink misc stuff

Intel chip taken out of box! It’s so small.. most of the box is just the stock heatsink >_>

Size comparison.. I hope my case is big enough!

Closer look

Insert.

Bottom-up view of the fan underneath the heatsink..
Had to cut the bottom left corner of the fan because it blocked a motherboard power port.. ._.

Damn, it’s bigger than my case!

I cut my hand a little during the whole process of switching the mobo out. The heatsink was so big I couldn’t slide the motherboard tray back in, I had to screw it in from the side cover.. wonder if anyone understands what I’m saying now.. lol.

Have to remove the plastic cone on the side cover (and later, the metal grill too.. for now I just taped a piece of paper over the hole. lol

The whole process took me from around 7pm to 11pm for fixing + install vista again cus it doesn’t start due to new motherboard.. stupid microsoft =/ 11pm+ to 5am, installing stuff, and trying to overclock.

Oh, I overclocked the 2.5Ghz chip to 3.8Ghz, couldn’t go higher because I got only 800mhz kingston value rams.. and not performance ones. But 3.8GHz is gonna last me a few years. Framerates in games don’t drop much if at all when things get packed, even on max settings. 8800GT really shines now!

So overall, I had to modify the fan, case, and bios settings! But it was worth the time spent!

Update:
This morning I removed one 80GB hard drive, reduced the cable mess and put an extra case fan in the drive bay to increase airflow. Covered side hole with transparency too =D
