Join me at my pokerblog!

2011-03-29T18:17:00.000+02:00

Yes, finally I've taken the step on making a new blog.
It will be fully dedicated to poker and what my ways and fews on the game.

For those are interested I will post a link down here:
Poker from Scratch

It is linked to this account so you will be able to find it easy.
I'm not sure if I'll use this blog more in the future but I'll surely get people to check out my new blog for those interested in poker.
For any messages or questions you might have feel free to PM me!

Thank you very much!

It's all about Japan and Poker.

2011-03-13T19:38:00.000+01:00

I've decided to completely ditch Pangya and focus on real life and Poker.
Poker is interesting in many ways and I will start up a new blog soon where I'll start to talk about Poker.
I'm currently doing nothing anymore besides playing flash games and hanging around with my girlfriend talking on Skype and messing about.

Fuck guys.... Japan totally fucked me up, what should I say...
First of all I want to pay my respects to the Shinozaki family for losing Kito so early.. (He was only 19)
He was living in the Miyagi prefectures which got hit by the tsunami badly, it's almost completely destroyed.
Kito didn't manage to make it to the last few cars which could take him with them so yeah...

Another victim was my friend Teihu who lives in Tokyo, he was unlucky with the earthquake.
The chandelier in the hallway fell down at the quake and landed on his shoulder, it's broken but I heard things are going to be fine.
Me and some friends of mine donated about €300 to Japan for the rebuilding but it ain't much but we think every little bit will help.
So yeah I have been down the past few days since this did happen.
I still cannot believe this is happening seriously...

Anyhow, besides the sad news I will make a new Poker related blog.
Check out soon to get a link to the blog.

That's it for now.

Coursework is shit.

2011-02-23T10:47:00.000+01:00

sigh... So much to do.
Ok so can anyone tell me what's up with schools having calm periods and then explosions with homework all of a sudden out of nowhere?!
Just what the heck is up with teachers ignorance these days, I mean I don't dislike my school or anything but abusing your rights as a teacher to let your anger out in class is just plain retarded nothing more.

So for this week the work we had to do consisted of:
- 1 Presenation about Marketing researching and the methods of doing so.
- An activity requiring me to explain the goals of what the presentation was about.
- 3 Essays of about 15-25 pages(depending on the depth of the info)
Homework we gotten last week and we have to finish up this week.

Oh shit now I remember, my calculus homework I completely forgot about shit...
Busy busy busy, things aren't very convenient if you hear the bed of the neighbours creaking all the time if you are trying to sleep if you know what I mean... >.>

Oh well, back to work just taking a small break to let some of my frustration out.
HOLIDAYS IN 1.5 WEEK, can't wait.

That's it for now~

I'm not sure what I should do honestly.

2011-02-14T02:25:00.000+01:00

I've been getting offers from people to try out their private server lately, quite alot.
But so far there only has one which doesn't have compability issues with Windows 7 and that's on Sam's server.
The only problem there is that there aren't much people playing on there at all and I don't feel like playing some other servers which just simply run stuck after 2-3 games of Pangya or just have me reinstall it every 3rd try.

What I have decided on is to simply keep playing with Hana and Hana only as a character, she's cute and not to fancy. I like that though, what I really wish for though is to play on a server with some good people on it who are active and where I don't have to grind myself up to Semi-Pro rank in order to play with 270y drive.
I couldn't be assed to make pictures or screenshots yet since up to now I haven't been able to make any nice shots at all or just didn't feel like it but that will change, I promise.

I will spend more time on my blog from now on as well, perhaps becoming an affiliate on Sweatdrops blog as well to get more readers here. I don't know that yet but we shall see.
Another nice idea which popped into my mind is to make a completely new blog site and redirect this blog to that one to start over from scratch, stuff regarding myself in real life, anime's I'd watch and other stuff also gaming related of course.

Some people actually liked me talking about that myself part about what I experience in life and wanted to hear more, let me know if it ruins the blog or not because I'm not sure.
I could basically hold 2 blogs for those which are interested so let me know.
Right now I'm mainly bored, it's valentines day and ironically I couldn't sleep anymore, (it's 2:15 AM)
I've slept for 5 hours already as I was hitting bed early today.

Yesterday I kind of realized how much weight I was putting on again by carelessly eating whatever the heck I want and by that I mean heavily overeating which made me feel fucked up afterwards.
So I decided starting today I will just not eat anymore until my stomach grows small again so I can lose weight more easily again "You might think I'm paranoid for doing so though but honestly, it has no bad side effects on me besides having a headache easily."

Anyways I'm bored so meh, here is a song that I like: Triceratops - If
Enjoy.

That's it for now.
Wait, yeah I might make a personal blog instead.

Ditching the good old 264y Drive replacing it with a epic 294y + 32 spin!

2011-02-09T16:15:00.002+01:00

Recently I've just given up on trying to get Pangya Global to work.
Like I've said on my former blog entry, I've send Pangya a 1:1 support ticket up to this point (4 days) it's still left unawnsered but just assigned.
I'll check again next week to see if it is still assigned but this is just laughable.

A friend has invited me into Tizum's server, a private pangya server where your rank would be set instantly to Infinity Legend, you'd have 99.999.999 pang and cookies to costumize everything to your own liking.
Really nice honestly, it saves me up the trouble of restarting from scratch.
I've met some old people on there which I knew from Pangya EU and I was surprised I was recognized by others who knew me from my blog *yay me*, The server is full of pro's who are capable of shooting -37+ quite easily.

It's nice since I'll be able to try out different distances, test control and spin etc.
Right now I have 3 set-ups, 270y, 280y and 294y (+6) with 32 spin.
Basically ditching the old 264y HWI I had since this is just more fun.
If I ever take the effort into going back to a real server I want 3 pixels and only under that condition I'd play again. I noticed that I'm capable of hitting pangya perfectly with just 22 control so I'm pretty sure I could do it with 20 as well, ice might be a problem then though.

So far I've just played instinctive and managed to chip in a few times, make 2 dunks and other chips on where I didn't expect them.
I will have to start from scratch because I threw away all of my pangya notes including the ones explaining how to calculate HWI, wind and power. My putting skill is still left in tact though whilst I completely forgot about rain.
So yeah, I will continue to play on this server. Tizum doesn't charge much for people doing so but it's surely nice to play on it!
Pangya isn't quite the same as before though, I have different stuff on my head other then playing the game.

That's it for now~

No progress in getting Pangya to work...

2011-02-04T09:33:00.001+01:00

Meh, it's stupid.

I'm talking about the 1:1 Service by PYGlobal.
I've posted a ticket, explained my problem with the possible solutions I tried out without any good result...
What will come of my Freshman free Duo Feather clubset if I cannot make the game to work? I'd have to buy them again.
Besides the fact I charged a nice 80k points on my new account already it's quite a waste if you ask me.

Right when I posted the 1:1 and it had the "done" status behind it 24 hours later I had a pretty bad feeling about the situation, however I still held up my hopes and looked at it.
And this is the message:

How many people do use windows 7 with Pangya?

And how many people actually got issues?

I'd say freaking update your supporting service because this is a heckload of people!

The funny thing is how he mentions that the game client issues aren't related to the OS itself "but yet we don't support it"... Then why even mention this?

Why don't they even read my message before actually responding to it?

I will post up the exact same message again, and I won't mention I got Windows 7 this time and then we'll see what happens.

Real Life stuff.

I have some hard time in real life with school right now as well.

I pretty much fucked up half of my mid-term by oversleeping and having the flu before.

And my relationship is pretty much a stop-light which jumps on red and green all the time since it's on and off.

Considering I'm not the expert on a relationship, I think it'd be better if I break it up all and enjoy the singles life without troubles again, but who knows.

I really need some time management!

Possibly I reveal out why sometime, who knows.

That's it for now~

Return to Pangya?

2011-01-27T15:59:00.000+01:00

Been thinking about this, the PWC inspired me so badly to play Pangya again...
However I don't have my account anymore and I would be forced to start of from scratch.
I actually took the effort in charging some cash to Pangya Global but unfortunately I don't get the darn client to work.

Everytime I start the client I get this message:

In all honesty, it drives me insane.
Here is what I've done an tried already:

- Reinstall the game itself.
- Repatched after I got that message again.
- Removed all of the packages, then tried manually patching.
- Asked a friend to give me a ProjectG.exe file.
- Rebooted my computer.
- Waited for the 27 January patch so perhaps it would work.

No result whatsoever.
I'm tired of it and I'm sick, I want to play and score those free Duo Feather clubs already...

What should I say, please help?
Thank you in advance.

That's it for now~

Holy shit

2011-01-19T14:42:00.000+01:00

Yeah, didn't update in forever.

I don't feel like it either right now, just reserving this blog for when it's necessary to start blogging again.
To be concluded.

I will probably start blogging again within 3 months when I live on my own again!

#24 (Quick update!) Testweek coming up!

2010-10-31T12:06:00.000+01:00

Revising, preparing presentations and homework.
That's all what is going on my mind right now, I don't got the time right now to look at MapleStory or evenmore play the game.
I should of told you guys earlier probably but yeah..

In week 46 I'll have a testweek coming up, this means im currently studying for everything I've done also I need to finish up my portfolio about myself.. Horrible things...
I'll be able to play more often from that time upcoming but right now I just have to set priorities again.
I'm quite excited about school because honestly I might just be able to join into a good university if I graduate, but I will let you guys know about that in time.

In my free time I'm basically on Skype and Facebook alot right now, I didn't log in MapleStory for what.. 5 days now? 1 Week?! I don't know to be honest, I'll make up for it sometime soon. I might even consider making my blog bigger then just for MapleStory but I'll think about it more carefully.
Thanks for your patience so far!

That's it for now~

#23 [eMS] Ready, Set... MapleStory!!!

2010-10-23T01:01:00.000+02:00

Whoa what a day!
Such a warm welcome back into the Demethos community I didn't expect that to happen.
It was really nice to see how some of the people where you did not expect it from would grow out to such high levels.

When I came back I've recieved a ton of BuddyList invites up to a point where I had to upgrade 2x in order to fit them all in.
Also the question if I was the real Gio or if I'd be back for good came along to many times to count as well.
Funniest part of the day was a small drama where Demethos is fairly known for involving of course... The famous Anego, what else could it be.
Such a beast of experience will always be wanted for every mapler out there.
Many things happened, I wonder if I can name all of them, well let's start off with the beginning:

- So what are my plans?

Enjoying myself as much as possible would I say.
I don't intend on playing much of serious but I'll try to level up as much as I can whenever I'm actually online.
Merchanting or raising money won't be anything I will be keeping myself busy with because it's to much of an effort really :)
I've been getting some funds from friends to get me started like a decent claw, a really nice 28 Dex overall and some stars. No keepers of course, but just things to borrow until I can manage on my own.

Yesterday I've leveled up my character to level 23 and then I realized I still had a Knight of Cygnus mule which was still level 104 so that would be a waste if I did not use that as my blessing for my main character.
I decided to remake Genetic on that account and kept it to level 10 with 2 exp. So I could achieve the goal I have set up for today.

- Aiming for #1 on the Up-Up-Up! Rankings.

These rankings are basically for people who were on the rankings yesterday already but who gained the most ranks today. I figured it would be a goal to set to start off and it would be fun to try to see if I was capable of doing so.
At the time I logged on to try to get this goal I saw a person named: Nësquik on the first place, he was already level 18 quite fast so I had no idea what to expect to be honest. Would I have to take myself to the limit in order to pass this person or could I just take it easy?
After that I simply checked the rankings every hour to see what his process would be, and it I figured it would be quite hard after all to pass up to this guy.

Even with that I was lucky, a friend of mine JiaoWoSmexy who I knew from Demethos before was bored and offered me HS and Ring exp party for free (+80% exp in the party) so I gladly took that.
Then there was Celmon as well who logged on her brothers account (FreakWolf) in order to train a bit with me so things did go fast, I leveled up to level 20 in no time at all, but it went a little bit slow due to the people greeting me and stalking me in the process.

Leveling at Caution Falling Down, from level 14 to 22

Once we both were at level 21+ we went to Ariant to train at Scorpions.
At that point there was Manswer who casted up 2x exp for 30 minutes for us as well, making training even faster then before. I gotten pretty close near my goal of getting #1 on the up-up-up rankings but Nësquik was level 27 already...
I was afraid that this person would be at 2x exp card all the time and end up making me leveling up all the way to level 40 as I didn't have time to do that but luck was at my side.
After the 2x exp cast ended my grinding partner had to go and I ended up soloing but I still had a ring to make things faster.

Not long after, about when I was level 27 I arranged a trade-party where we all had to cast 2x exp for 30 minutes, so that would mean 3 hours of 2x exp.
I hit level 30 not long after that and decided to do my 2nd job advancement into an Assassin ASAP so I was done with it.

2nd Job advancement - Assassin

Once I done my advancement I quickly checked the Up-Up-Up Rankings to see if I actually managed to get any closer to Nësquik and to my own surprising, he was level 28 and I was 29. So that means: Mission accomplished! Great start for a first day.
I wasn't in the mood much of training much longer as I had to get ready to go out as well.
I ended up at level 32 around 40% today and even at this point I'm still #1 for today's Up-Up-Up. Yay for me! =D

Mission Accomplished! To bad there weren't any avatars available today...

I don't expect to be a high level anytime soon to be honest, I'll just take thing easy and slow and might even go Party Questing if I feel like it.
It might just be nice for a change to do something different from endless grinding since I think MapleStory is all about fun and enjoying yourself.

That's it for now~

#22 Some bad news and some good news.

2010-10-21T21:41:00.001+02:00

- No more Pangya updates from now on! (Bad news)

I'm sorry you Pangya fans for not letting you all know earlier.
Some of you may have already seen it coming but this time I'll make it official.
To be honest I cannot be bothered with posting up Pangya updates anymore since it's not that interesting to me anymore at all.

Perhaps I'll still continue to do this in the future but for now I'll have to put things on a hold regarding Pangya.
Everytime I see a new update coming along I just don't feel to give my perspective of view to a subject I do not play anymore, talong with having to correct my every post about a 5 times before it's right for me to say that it's not worth it anymore.
I would like you to redirect you to Kyu's Otaku/Pangya-Blog since he'll be the one posting up process and updates on the game, even on a greater scale then I ever did so.

I'll still do updates just not about Pangya but in the future I just might start again!

- Introduction to MapleStory (Good news)

Oh god, he's back to MapleStory.
Don't ask me why though, I just felt like it.
I'll be playing MapleStory Europe from now on.

Server: Demethos
Codename: Genetic
Job: Rogue/Assassin/Hermit/Night Lord

For those who are not familiar with this blog! A small introduction:

Hey there everyone!
First of all, welcome to my blog which was originally based on Pangya an online Golf-MMORPG *waits for laughs*
I originally played Pangya for a fair amount of time but decided to quit after I've got tired of the game.
In the history of this blog you'll find posts about Pangya, so if you're wondering what the game looks like don't hesitate about checking out them old posts. I've also included some video's about the gameplay as well.

It might also be nice to tell you something about my history of MapleStory.
I've started playing the first time since December 2003 (Japanese MapleStory, Closed Beta) and from that point on foreward I've been playing with breaks and such.
The server I'm starting on again is called Demethos, I've been holding the #1 rank spot for about 5 months.
Since I've gotten fed up with the game I've decided to delete my character around that time. Right now I've come back not for any purpose but just to enjoy myself really.

Old character, ex #1 of Demethos (Januari 2010), SS taken before deletion of character.

MapleStory is an 2d RPG game which involves your character killing monsters in order to gain levels and grow stronger.
Demethos is a server that started up at 5th August 2009 so it's relatively young.
I don't plan on spending any money for a while on the game since it can be as expensive as you want just like Pangya, but it would be nice to get far in the game without the help of all that.
Perhaps some avatars would be nice to cover up my char from complete uglyness ;)

If you have any questions about what is going on or if things are unclear then please post a comment and I'll respond to your questions!

That's it for now~

#21 The return of Black Papel + Quit rate event!

2010-09-27T16:51:00.003+02:00

Just noticed the blog is reaching 2K pageviews soon, I'm quite proud to be honest!
And of course thanks to all of you frequent visitors really happy about it!

Just checked the Pangya website and they added an amazing upcoming update again considering there is going to be a maintenance tomorrow!

- Satchel Lottery update!
Galaxy decided to update the lottery again, with a nice surprise this time.
Of course it was highly requested by the community, and considering Galaxy had tradables in them I'd say it would be a perfect time for the Lottery to have some awesome rares in them again and they did!

Black Satchel/Papel
A cool black version of our cute caddie, Satchel. This caddie is hard to get, but he has very special powers, so he is worth the effort!

+1 Control
+10 Spin

Transparent Satchel/Papel
Another awesome version of the caddie Satchel. However this one isn't a skin like Black-Papel. It has Dolfini balls in them, therefore this makes the best Lottery bag alive! This Satchel also gives some nice additional stats and most of all, it looks awesome!

+1 Control
+2 Spin
+2 Curve

Galaxy did tweak down the rates, personally I've never won anything except for glasses in the lottery but then again I was never patient either. I'll update later on how several players have gotten their hands on their special caddies. It'll be interesting to see how this will turn out after all.
Lately I'm seriously pleased with the amount of content Galaxy is bringing out, it shows the game is running well and it seems the players are enjoying it as well.

I just hope that later on it doesn't get to easy to get good scores though, because that would ruin the main fun in the game. Anyhow, moving on to the next event that was also requested by loads.

- Quitting Rate event!
I don't know if there are any people out here who followed Sweatdrop(Rich)'s blog because then you probably know what this event is about.
This event is really nice though, play games in order to get your quit rate removed. I'd say this would be the ultimate event with a 2x exp/candy event with it cause everyone would end up with 0% quit rate..
Quite disappointing that all the good stuff comes out once I quit, because this event also was 1 of the events I wanted most.

However, I'm really surprised in the effort Galaxy Games is putting into Pangya Europe, unlike Ntreev USA who just keeps messing up... Well with the expection of Guilds that is. Galaxy brought out that newsletter of September to New-Years updates, but what's coming out now isn't even included. The reason why this surprises me this much is due to the fact when a game usually announces something to come out, they just straight-up focus on the future-to-be announced content instead of other things as well.
I don't know how high the Quitting Rate event rates will be but I'll take a screenshot of the rankings to show the difference to everyone.

- The reason why I'm not mentioning shop updates..
Because they are disappointing, that's why. In my personal opinion I find the clothes update not worth mentioning much to begin with, nothing flashy or avatar changing at all. I must say though, this is the 1st update of the shop I've seen without avatars for Lucia. It would be nice if some nice clothes updates would come out soon. I've been subscribed to the Japanese Pangya-Staff Twitter page and sometimes you see links of clothes and they look really nice, avatar wize.
I hope Nell comes out, I'll just come back to play with Nell only already *perverted face* (lol)

- Last question to everyone!
I was wondering if people would want to see different content from other Pangya's as well or other things in general that they like reading because then I wouldn't mind writing about that at all.
Just let me know your thoughts or feelings in this so I can see what I can do.
Time to go back to my homework now and finish up my last essay for this week.. hopefully....

Thanks for the support!

That's it for now~

#20 Rankings update: September.

2010-09-24T15:22:00.001+02:00

Not the usual update everyone is used to, but I think something like this would be nice to share with the Pangsters as well.

Lately since the rankings came out quite some changes have been made regarding players positions on the rankings and such.
Up to this point I didn't really find it interesting enough to post it on the blog but now I actually saw some stuff happening that is actually worth mention.

- Top 5 rankings changed alot!
Congratulations to o_OwN(Adrian) on taking over #1 on the Pangya Europe rankings!

Wow, that alot faster then I expected to be honest and I would of thought that tonycheese would kept his top position for at least a few weeks at least but it seems that o_OwN really polished up his skill to a level where he can call himself the best of Pangya Europe.
I remember him being on -550 not long ago either and getting your game up to -576 in just few weeks is rather amazing in my eyes.

Also what was probably known was that Morpheous was excluded from the rankings due to having a to high quit rate.
I believe it was yesterday that he finally got his quitrate under 15% so he could be part of the rankings.
Right now he took over Nyu-'s 4th position with a nice -546.

This is the current top 5 as it is right now.
Also other players like: anglenoob(9th), sinneah(17th) and KlBaus(22nd) are hunting scores like crazy as well, I check the rankings every day and I see them go up bit by bit.
Mav-(15th) also finally reached his long awaited -40 on Blue Lagoon (congrats mate) so we'll see if he will also join in on the people who get crazy new records.

I'm really wondering what the rankings will look like in 1 month from now.
So I will make another post on the 24th of October to check out what exactly has changed.
I surely hope Eastern Valley will be out the next patch because then we can really see what will change.
This were was the first Rankings update for my blog, so I hope you people enjoyed reading it.

That's it for now~

#19 Exchangables, finally and the first Galaxy/Pangya Newsletter!

2010-09-22T20:37:00.003+02:00

Wow time flies when you are busy, I apoligize that I wasn't able to update my blog for some time...
I currently have a presentation for my Business Class that I am preparing and along with that I've been spending time with important people.

Also, from what I've heard from some sources is that the Card removal event can be done more then once.
Every island tour gives you 5 Removals so this might be the best opportunity ever in order to get the removals. Just for the notice... THIS IS AN EVENT! and it will last until the 28th of September.
I think that should be clear for all the last-minute people out there..
Moving on to the very first highlight of Galaxy games in this update.

- The long wait for tradable scratch rares is over!
That's right, they are as they speak tradable now. This involves every single items that has been won from scratch events. It might be the nicest chance to get a Halloween club for instance since it's kick-ass or even 1 of the newer items like Rune Wings that just came out.

What I've also noticed is that the Pangya Holic card section on the website has been added, it basically shows every single card you have in posession right now as a collectors item for your account. Card number #34 is also into the system added but it's better that it's not in there
It gives + extra Pang, so you can see it as the Experience card which gives +10 exp.

Also for the keen people under us who have been paying attention on the forum, the September Newsletter has been published and it's quite interesting.

- September Pangya Newsletter!

Arin you look so kyute!!! >.<

So the migration is officially done, that's nice to hear.
It took Galaxy a while, but they did all as they said they would most definetly.
So let's look at the points, point by point. I'll also give marks to my own liking.

1. Drop Rate.
I'm not sure about this because I'm not playing anymore, but it seems because there were alot of complaints about this that Galaxy decided to make it better for the community.
Confirmed by Mav-: The drop rate has been drastically improved, It seems every single item in the game has decreased tremendously in price.
My opinion: This is really good, but I wonder if the 200 GM tournaments would still be relevant after this update considering everything is cheap as hell now. 9/10

2. Rankings upgrade.
Wow, the rankings were great already. But even expanding this makes it so much better, Maybe there will be rankings for upcoming achievements as well.
My opinion: Uncertain, but nice that Galaxy is already doing something with this 7/10.

3. Scratch card exchange.
The forums are saying this is an event, everyone is fond of it and the Admins are mentioning that if people use this alot that it will be permanent.
Extra Note!: It seems you can only exchange sets for sets of the same kind, so Wings for wings, ears for ears etc etc. To be honest I think this is not what most people asked for to be honest, in majority yes, but with some people are still not able to get Elven Ears. Using this feature also costs 200 cookies.. Actually I was to lazy to check the website of the exchange part.
My opinion: I highly suspect the 2nd thing will happen due to the huge demand of this needed in game. Great feature! But rather disappointing that it's only for 1 set and not just tradable for all.. It's exchangables in a way but not completely either... Galaxy did make sure that the economy does not collapse since you'll have to pay 200 cookies for each exchange. 10/10 Still awesome though!

4. Nickname Change.
Didn't we have this already? Yeah but only for like 13 letters if I'm not mistaken, 15 letters is better really. But it will also allows more annoying names..
My opinion: Not to flashy because it still won't allow emotes.. 5/10

5. Encyclopedia.
Took a quick sneak-peak in this but I must say, most impressive..
It's very complete and for people who need to look up something it's awesome!
My opinion: I don't think it's complete yet though, I think it should have everything regarding how everything works in game as well. 7.5/10 so far.

6. Sponsoring.
Hmm, this is awesome for people with great referrals. Unfair though but anything for marketing I guess.
My opinion: Might be just an opportunity to push away your pride for Pangya and actually introduce them to the game. Nothing for me ever.. 4/10.

7. Achievements.
Sounds super promising, I have no idea though yet what this is supposed to mean.
It reminds me of questing in a bit so it might make the gameplay more fun. I'll keep my opinion open for now until more information is announced.

8. Self-Design shop.
For the fans this is awesome. To be honest I've never actually tried this feature in season 4 since I've used MS paint enough already.
My opinion: It seems Galaxy is taking the whole package when it comes to improving the gameplay experience. 6.5/10.

9. New map.
Eastern Valley, what more do I need to say.
My opinion: 10/10.

10. Guild.
Work in progress, where have I heard that before?
I guess this is still to be coming soon... I wonder though, when is soon? I surely hope it's not Diablo III soon..
My opinion: 0/10

11. Pangyabay.
E-Bay...For pangya? That's what I'm thinking at least, There is actually gonna be an auction when I randomly suggested it? I have no idea to be honest, I'm not sure what to think about this either... I don't think other Pangya versions have this, the 1st unique Pangya feature to be released for Europe?
My opinion: I have got no clue... 10/10 in my head.

12. Means of Payment.
Click and Buy and PaySafeCard added to Pangya?
Wow amazingly much ways to buy cookies, I like that alot. It allows people without a creditcard actually to buy cookies when they want it.
My opinion: I cannot think of any downsides to this, 10/10.

Also the point Galaxy is making on the co-operation with NTreev makes no real sense to me. Why would this be noticed along with this newsletter?

- Consideration on adding an author to the blog!
Yes, me an someone I'll not reveal yet might considering on expanding to blog to a larger public, more subjects to update on. More material to read and of course things from another perspective.
More from that is coming soon!

That's it for now~!

P.S. College is really going great, along with working out :3.

Special thanks to Mav- for additional info for this blog entry!

#18 Galaxy Games, this is for you.

2010-09-16T01:12:00.001+02:00

I would like to point out Galaxy's issue around not being able to share an account, it says the following:

You cannot transfer or share your Account with anyone, unless, as a parent or guardian, you allow your child to use it. You are responsible for the use of your Account, and parents or legal guardians are responsible for the actions of their children. Unless specifically agreed with Galaxy Games, Account creation is prohibited for any legal entity or commercial company.

I would like to note out that this message is purely meant for Galaxy Games in general.
So in other words, giving my account to Kyu- is completely legal.
I did not wish to go into detail with this issue but I'm forced to do so however in order to clear out an unnecessary ban. I'll just state out what this means in general and why it is completely legal to give Kyu- my account as he enjoys the game more then I do.

I wouldn't get why Galaxy would kick someone in the back in the end, surely I'm a critic but I just state my opinion. I do mention Galaxy's downsides but also Galaxy's good sides. I've been always been a good costumer from Galaxy Games so I don't see why they would shut-down a "costumer-business" relationship in a horrible way by banning an account spend more then 1K euro on, time and effort and enjoying using their service at all.

No Galaxy, I don't like your moderators. But that's what I think, it's not that I HAVE to like them. I don't agree on them on many terms, but that's not important anymore since I'm not playing anymore.
What I can do in return however is keeping a potentional crowd updated of your service so people might even get interested in actually playing the game. I'll send up a support ticket to see what there is to negotiate or not.

I think the 1-on-1 support of Galaxy is the best out there, less then 24-hour respones and I actually got the idea that the support were real people. In 9 of the 10 games I've played the messages were always automated and that was even more annoying. I'm just very sceptical about things running to my own liking and I get agitated if things do run unfair according to my own believes, this may sound very selfish but it's just who I am.

Nice, another bedtime story today...
Oh well off to bed now and that's it for now.~

#17 The future of this blog + A Pangya Europe update.

2010-09-15T03:22:00.004+02:00

Sorry a bit late, college had given me some homework which had to be done but another entry now though.
Alot of questions from friends and other people's about the issue + quitting I'll name them all.

Q. Was quitting really necessary?
A. Yes totally. Pangya have never been an addiction for me and thus I don't feel sorry for quitting it. I do stand behind my own principles and thus I've quit the game as announced.

Q. Won't you miss Pangya?
A. Not really, my time in Pangya was for more then 5 years if I reckon. I've started as a Open Beta PangyaJP tester with some breaks of course, even held the HIO record at some point and the first to gain up to 5K Hio's by grinding 6H BL matches. Quit for about 1.5 year when IP's outside of PangyaJP got banned when I lag way to much on a proxy. Those were the best times, I miss those but they won't ever come back.

Q. You mention the word community alot, why?
A. The game is about friends and fun. Community and an nice atmosphere is part of the game which makes it more enjoyable. In Pangya Japan and Pangya South East Asia we had a nice community where the English in Pangya Japan all knew eachother and in Pangya SEA everyone was friendly with eachother and knew stuff. Pangya EU however was always spoiled and people were always complaining about stupid stuff. I don't like people who suck up to eachother for their own greed, but I don't mind people admiring professionals in the game. I never really got to enjoy Pangya Europe, for 1 the community is a total failure since people think they can be a god over a game and secondly people are just being unfair in general towards some people.

Q. Which games will you be playing now?
A. I'm waiting for Diablo III like 5 years now, I cannot wait until the day comes it will come out. But for now I'll keep myself entertained with some old fashion MapleStory. I've accomplished everything in that game on the normal servers of Global/Japan and Europe what there is to accomplish already, so I'm keeping myself down with casual playing on a Private server named NidoMS.

Q. So how about your blog, how will it continue?
A. I'll come to that point right now.

- The future of my blog.

In short I'll continue to update as much as possible around Pangya Europe, why not? It's fun to do and people want to see such a thing with someone's perspective on it. That's the message I've gotten in the last 2 months at least. Recently I've hit 1.500 Pageviews which is really alot on a fresh blog, also there are some subscribers who check out daily how things are running so it's definetly worth to keep this bunch updated.

From the updates upcoming I will add a part of MapleStory as well to the blog and some parts of my life to keep it interesting for some who want to hear about it. Blogs are just stories that facinate people, its shows a view of someone else then yourself therefore I'm willing to contribute to people's curiosity by keeping my blog updated. Hopefully I can expand my potentional viewers in the future even more then it is now. I will try to update my blog at least twice a week because I've always got an idea about what to write to the audience. Also don't hesitate on making comments since I'll try to awnser most questions.

The URL of the blog will stay the same for now so it won't get lost for people who wish to visit my blog. Then again I'm also sorry for letting you down by quitting the game, but it's a decision I'm proud of to begin with.
Pangya will be missed though, especially with the upcoming nice update that Galaxy just implented...

- Pangya Update (14/09/2010 and 31/08/2010)

I apoligize for not posting it up earlier the update on 31th of August that is!
Galaxy added some nice stuff in the Lottery: Optical Visors!
These give +10 Curve and come in 2 colour of types as well, I think it was Black and White.

Honestly, I think it was Adrian (o_OwN) who had one on his Anna and it looks really nice!
However I'm not lucky ever with getting a Red Papel in the lottery so I wouldn't try it myself but it looks awesome!

The next thing they added in the game a new Motion item: Max's R-GT996!
Here is a Youtube video made by Sweatdrop showing how the Motion item looks like, it's pretty neat but takes to long:

That was it for the 31th of August, now moving on to the 14th of September!
Just wow, seriously wow....
The amount of content added on this patch was huge, not disappointing but rather the best patch I've seen since Season 3!

Of course they added clothed but I don't think they are interesting enough to mention, but what is more interesting are the new scratchies!

Big Papels! They give +2 Control though... Not only that, but with side effects!

Big Papel (Plain)
+2 Control
Chance on Bonus Pang, variating from: 1, 5, 15 or 50 on each hole!

Big Papel (Red)
+2 Control
Gain an additional 1 to 50% + Clear Bonus Pang on VS Mode!

Big Papel (Black)
+2 Control
Increased chance of bad weather!

And Air Knight III clubs!!! Wow these are godly, I love them seriously.
They look awesome as well and the power on them are huge:

Air Knight III clubs:
Power 9 + 7
Control 6 + 6
Accuracy 6 + 6
Spin 4 + 2
Curve 1 + 2
Rookie F's are able to wear it.

Seriously awesome, I love it. To bad I don't play anymore though but still not worth coming back for unfortunately. Also if this wasn't enough Galaxy games came up with another great event.
And no, it isn't another GM 200-Tournament event because those are boring now...

From starting 14th September up to the 28th you're getting the opportunity to win something amazing: Card Remover Vials! (5x!!!)
Yes 5 of them, that's crazy. The prices of certain cards dropped tremendously... It isn't even normal anymore but ok, how do you actually obtain these vials?

You'll have to play an island tour, meaning every single course of the game. 15 of them in total.
If you completed 1 course it will automatically be shown as completed. The order of courses does not matter, what matters is that you finish up the game that you play and not quit half-way through the game.
Once finished on the menu screen you can access to the reward and it will be gifted to you in the gift box.
This came alot sooner then I anticipated myself though, but it's good.
Also the last update Galaxy has done was adding the rankings!

With the rankings up I saw myself ranked 50th of the Overall rankings, quite surprising I'd say considering my Ice Spa and Silvia cannon were a big drama if I'm honest. I was ranked #1 on Sepia wind though, however Morpheous does not appear on the rankings due to a to high quit rate... Tonycheese is rank 1 with -575. He totally deserves it because nobody is coming close to that at all.

I wanted to share 1 last note with you all!
BACKSPIN DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE!
I hope you understand, I gave my account away to my brother and I've checked and someone else took the name Backspin, that's not me. The account right now goes by the name of Kyu-.
More updates coming soon I really need to sleep.

That's it for now~

#16 Quitting Pangya and the Naked event drama

2010-09-13T07:11:00.001+02:00

Shocking right? Or could you feel this one coming?
I'll entirely leave this one open for you.
But for now I've given away my account to my brother who got banned at Pangya US for playing to go, which obviously is super retarded but whatever.

You probably seen a guy named Kyota on Pangya Europe sometimes shooting kick-ass records, well that's the friend I'm talking about. He's Kyu(snowman) in the Pangya US servers. I figured that if I don't want to play ever again that I'd just give me account to someone worthy enough to play with the stuff I had saved up.
Don't be surprised though if "Backspin" would hit the top 5 anytime soon because this guy's skill is what you call godly. I never asked him for help because I wanted to do it myself...

- Quitting Pangya.

Anyhow, back to the point: "Why are you quitting Pangya!"
It's fairly simple really, my motivation has not been to high at the moment and I was not really fond of the community in any way possible, like you saw in the previous records; I've been taking a break before and some events on Pangya made me want to play again for a bit.
I was surely about to return with about the nicest scratch update around the corner but no it got all ruined for me.

Spending cookies, getting flamed, getting temp-banned and just some other things in general are keeping a player like me from playing this game any further. Now you will say: "Don't let it get to you." Want to know the truth? I do let it get to me because I just simply want to enjoy playing this game on my way. Appearantly any of your dumb twats think the game works like a real-life progress saying it's impossible to shoot godly records by just gathering some info. These so-named calc haters can shove their theory of shit back into that shithole straight up because you seriously have hitting your head horribly at some point in your life.

There is plenty of more which I could rant about at the current Galaxy Games community but I will save you from that, it's purely personal and I would not want players who actually DO enjoy it there to change their opinion about it by merely reading my blog.
However though, this is my blog and if you don't like to read what to you see... Hey let's be good friends, but this isn't any of your bee-wax. My blog, My point of view, so facking deal with it ok?

Ok playing Pangya is fun, but every factor around it just simply isn't.
I might play again, but for now I just gave everything away which makes it 100% impossible for me to start again for real. College goes first, my real life goes first as well so therefore sacrifices should be made.
Miss I honestly miss playing Pangya? Surely, I enjoy hunting records but right now other things have priority.
I was talking about the community earlier right?

- Naked event drama

Nice event from the Playmates guild honestly, if some of the people on there just weren't such suck ups and douchebags it would of been perfect.
I made it to the second rounds, remember how enthusiastic I was in my former entry?
Oh hell yeah that got ruined, I am DISQUALIFIED by being 1 hour late even within the deadline.
Tuesday, the day after the 1st round deadline the players who play in the 2nd round have been announced. Like I mentioned my line up was against Reza a Galaxy Forum moderator. So with that known right at the point where I saw the 2nd round line-up I PMed him about a schedule time for the match.

Unfortunately I got no response so on Thursday I've send him another PM with a reply on the forum as well.
I seriously had no idea that a Galaxy Forum Moderator could be so arrogant and full of himself but whatever. He stated out on the forum that I would of not contacted him at all, but hey appearantly my message log and my brain tell me differently. Unlike others I actually do note important things, Therefore I hold this very blog to begin with as well.

Anyhow, we set an appointment on Saturday afterwards to play the event around 8 PM / PET we would hold the match. I was even online earlier as well to check if Reza was there, but no Reza online. Well I could understand that, it's a few hours in advance after all. So at 8 PM I come online and how funny... No Reza. Well I had better things to do then wait along on Pangya all the time so I just logged off 3 minutes after, then funny enough I see on the forum some shitty screenshots about me not being there.Which is totally a joke, whatever your believe or not. I know I WAS there, moving on to the forum again. We decided to set up the last time for the event, same time but on Sunday. 8 PM / PET.

I came online, a few hours in advance with the intention of staying online. Like Melt said, I was online the entire afternoon. Around 7 PM my internet disconnects me completely and it won't come back on. I reset it a few times and eventually I end up calling me ISP (Internet Service Provider) about the internet issues. The freaking service costs €0.30 a minute and they are just bs-talking, not knowing what is going on. That is fine though but get your service working then. My internet got back up at 9:05 PM again, to late for the appointment but I did hang on the line for them for about 1.5 Hour straight to fix the issue.

And wow.. BAM disqualified right off the bat with a Melt sucking up to Reza completely. "We got records, you weren't there, you are talking bs." That's the biggest crap I've ever heard, I was there all afternoon. Why would I not be there in the time the match was scheduled... I even offered to wait until 12 PM where I actually HAVE to be in bed but ok that wouldn't help, appearantly I've "wasted" Reza's time and I would not keep myself to the rules. This was at 9:30 PM where I had a discussion with Melt about this situation. Most funny of everything is simply that it was STILL WITHIN the freaking deadline, so we could of still played. But disqualifying me straight up? What a joke. You calculate, 90 minutes times €0.30 cents flushed down the toilet for this shit? Well FUCK YOU, honestly.

The funniest thing of this all is that Melt was sucking up to Galaxy's ass so badly for them sponsoring their event that she completely forgot to imagine other people's feelings towards this. I already set away some personal time for the event, simply my last motivation to actually continue playing this game but that got completely ruined. That's why I hate this community so much, that's why you're all so full of trash. Because you're mainly a bunch of suck-ups who sweet talk moderators and Galaxy staff in order to feel better. I never sucked up to anyone, I host my own events to my own liking, I have my own perspective of the game, I don't run with others, If I disagree with something you'll SURELY hear it from me and most of all... I just quit this game just to prove my point.

I'll keep updating my blog, this seriously isn't the end of my blog. Feel free to comment to your own liking, I'll look into them. I'll keep you updated with Galaxy's updates and such so feel free to keep an eye on my blog.

Well last but not least, Good luck to my brother who will be taking over my account. I hope he can use it better then I use it. He can do whatever he likes with the account, even fuck it up for all I care.

That's it for now~!
See you tomorrow.

#15 Hospital runs, Naked event and College starts!

2010-09-08T16:27:00.001+02:00

Sorry for not posting in a while, have been done moving over and stuff but everything is going well now, actually not really..

- Hospital runs
Yes hospital runs, about roughly a week ago I tripped over something and fell down the stairs at home.
At first it didn't really hurt but the day after I felt like my legs were pulled off, had to call an ambulance and they checked me out. My left upper leg had some big damage and my hip got in a bad position, I used to Thai-Box as a kid and got permanent damage on my hid and there it started to hurt again.
They examined me and I had to spend 2 nights at the hospitals on anti-biotics and some other pill shit to reduce the pain I have, after that I got released from the hospital.

Things are going fine now though, I still have some trouble walking but all is going smooth. 2 days ago I stopped eating painkillers and I noticed the pain wasn't there anymore either.
I did sign up for the Naked event, but due to this I was almost not in the ability to participate at all. When I came back from the hospital I had a ton of messages from Computtman which is my opponent for Round 1, I set up a game with him for the future after that.

About the Naked Event tournament:
So like I mentioned, I've got rounded up against computtman.
He is a Pro rank player and therefore had the adventage of 4y Drive on the courses.
We met up on Sunday around 20:00 / 8:00PM finally and we played the first round.

The first round was WizWiz, pretty harsh if you ask me but ok. Hole 12 was the first hole and yes Power Curves weren't allowed.
Computtman tried to be smart and hit it with a less drive but he missed pangya pretty badly resulting on a OB where I succeed the shot. I had 2 strokes in the lead which is a good start. But then at hole 14 computtman made a wonderfull shot to the rough from the teeshot and I've hit an OB on there for ppicing horrible into the pillar...
After that simply my mood got broken at hole 16 and I ended up hitting another OB there so this round was for computtman.

However things weren't over, I would just have to win the next 2 courses... But +4 extra Y drive starts to feel heavy now to be honest. I was nervous, like really since this was completely new for me and I wasn't used to it and most of all, I did not practise for this event yet so I had to do whatever I can and hope for computtman to make a mistake.

The 2nd course was Blue Lagoon, My favorite easiest course in the game.
Not much to say really, I completely dominating computtman on this one since I made crazy approaches and nice Super Pangya overdrive all the way, eventually computtman also missed an fairly easy putt by overpowering the putt and popping the hole. But still the pang would of been the tiebreaker, so my win.

We both got even more nervous at this point though, 1v1 isn't exactly the nicest position to be in at this tournament. We took a quick break and advanced to the final course. This time: Ice Cannon!
God.. I hate IC quite a bit, my computer lags at it so I wasn't sure at all about this..
1st hole was a tie, Hole 18. I never reckon ever playing it without tomahawking it into the icetunnel so we ended up playing normally. The next hole was Hole 4, I managed to get the ball at the other side but when computtman tried the same he was short on distance and ended getting the ball back. At this point was like THIS sure of victory on this game I was literally celebrating already and being really happy.
And yes then your 2nd shot is a 41y Long putt... Stupid, tied up again really.

So I dont remember the next hole, I think hole 8? On the right side there is a ice part and in front of you there is the flat rough. Oh yeah, I thought my club couldn't reach so I went for the normal way. And YAY! Computtman goes super pangya on the ice for a freaking 120 pang x2 overdrive. I lost completely there, I was so certain of it. Eventhough we tied there was like 10% chance of me winning this by pang since he had a 150 pang lead over me.
Then I realized something, hole 10 was still there as final hole. But then again, if he hit his Super Pangya I'm done. He ppiced! and got in front of the ice tunnel! Got some overdrive but it wasn't much, me being overjoyed once again completely missed pangya but I got a whooping 230? pang overdrive and BAM I won.

Without a doubt this was probably the most nerve breaking game I've had in a while, yes even more then the endless -29 White Wizzes that I've made..

Result:
Backspin(7) vs computtman(50) 2-1, Backspin advances!

And honestly, I think computtman is a great guy. Good sports bro and thanks for the match.
I honestly didn't have this much in pangya for a while so this event is great.
Round 2 will be coming soon, I'll be up against the Moderator Reza.
I've send him a PM already asking him for a playing time but we'll wait when he's able to do it.
I hope we could do it somewhere on Wednesday evening cause then I'll have off from college homework.

But this is nice and all, but I'm not completely back to Pangya just yet, I've got important stuff going on still. College started today, and it's going to be rough I promise.

- College starts, bye bye freetime?
I don't know my schedule for school yet, basically I have a few options which I can take.
I'll be enrolling a Business school. Either I can give up all of my free time and that will include having to quit Pangya for a good few months, that in order to have a part-time job since I want to live on my own. Or continue Pangya and have some free time left.
In short words, I don't got a fking clue what to do.

School is important, it really is. It had top-priority for me right now so I'll focus on that a 100% for sure, but I really need to make up a plan about what to do so I'll make sure to keep everyone updated about that.
I've always had in mind that Pangya won't run away, only my feeling for hitting a Pangya will. I still got every single note of Pangya and I do memorize alot so that's no problem. I think I'd be able to pick up my form easily once I come back as well so I really gotta see what I want to do and if it's worth it as well.

Right now I only had an introduction day for school and I have no idea how seriously heavy it will be on me but I think the time will learn.

Holidays FTW!!!~

#14 Quick update about personal situation and what this means for Pangya.

2010-08-28T15:13:00.001+02:00

Hey all, I don't want to go in depth about my personal life but I would just like to inform you all that I'm currently dealing with personal issues. I don't feel like playing online games at all because of this, instead I just randomly talk on msn and such or Skype at little.

Truth is, I've gotten in an arguement with the person I'm living with and I've decided to move out so therefore I need to set some stuff straight before focussing on Pangya. I've had alot of feedback lately about people wondering how I'm doing and such. I'm fine I can assure you but I've always said from the start that Pangya is given the last priority in general.

I will come back to play Pangya, I will probably participate in the Naked event hosted up by the Playmates guild but that's all about it. Thank you for your time and messages! I'll make sure to keep things updated regularly when I find a piece of time to do so.
Basically I think I should get started with college first as well before I make the step to go back and play Pangya again. Nothing interesting is happening in Pangya lately anyway so all the pieces will come together eventually.

That's it for now ~

#13 Break from Pangya, College coming up!

2010-08-23T15:33:00.000+02:00

Hey all, I'd like to inform that I won't be playing Pangya for about 1 week or something.(Perhaps shorter or longer I'm not sure but most likely 1 week or longer) Currently I simply have no time to play Pangya because college is coming up soon and I want to be well prepared for when it starts.
Like I said, I won't have time to play Pangya at all, but considering it's a game it can simply wait.
I'll make sure to announce my return to Pangya as well, but for now I rather want to relax and get some stuff straight before hitting the greens again.

I'm sure some of you already realized I haven't been online for about 3-4 days by now finished up some essays during that time and hanged out with friends.
Personally Pangya comes at the last place when all the important stuff has been done and I relax and play Pangya at my best!

You can always leave a comment, I'll check on my blog at least once a day to see if there is any messages.

1 NOTE: For those who didn't notice, I've added some Pangya music to the page as well, If you don't like it just tell me and I'll remove it. If you want to see some changes on the blog make sure you leave your creative responses and messages in the comment section and I'll look into them.

Enjoy the greens and I'll see you soon, good luck!

That's it for now ~

#12 About the records, Technical issues and Gathering notes

2010-08-20T15:39:00.001+02:00

Finally I've started to get the idea that some people take Pangya serious in a level where it becomes their personal business whenever someone does something or not.
Whenever I shoot a -33 on Blue Lagoon with 8-9k pang people say nothing, and when I shoot a -25 on Pink wind on a GM tournament where I was only able to hit pangya 5x people instantly go: "you cannot do this bla bla bla." I understand this of course, but you also should take into consideration that was 1 of the games I didn't score very well at all. I could give you the details but that would be counted as a simple excuses, therefore I won't.

I simply should of kept everything to myself, but it seems I'm just honest about things because I don't like to make people assume things and questioning me about the situation at all.
But now the results are that some friends are not willing to talk to me anymore, people trying to make me quit Pangya for instance and flaming me at my very own blog.
And by flaming I was forced to set my comments on approval because basically I ended up deleting 90% of the comments made since the 27th.
I think I've explained enough already and I will do it once again for the last time...

- About the records
So on what aspects did Morpheous had influence on the records, basically every single aspect due to the fact he was the one learning me how to calc with HWI. Does that mean he also shoot my records? Not at all.
Hopefully for those who I point at, you understand what's going on now so you can start to use your brain a little more in order to stop pointless flaming which won't help at all.

For one, Pangya is a game based on numbers, values, programmed numbers, you name it.
And thus if you are capable of calculating the various aspects of the game, you should be able to come to a decent up to a perfect score. Nothing strange in this yet right?
Ok so for the records I've made in the past, pointing out to me aiming for -30 on every single course.
I had NO notes, I wasn't able to read wind well at all, and I messed up completely on half/quarter ball breaking slopes. And yet I was capable of hitting these records.

No notes at all and a simple 256y drive, Just me and my 256y HWI sheet and I was ready to go.
I think I've stated out ALOT of times in the past where my difficulties are in game, I think that also explains the reason why Morpheous was so kind enough to visit me at my place and explaining everything step-by-step so I would hopefully understand.
No I still don't understand everything, but I also know stuff like this comes with experience. I started calculating approximately 3 to 4 weeks ago.
And with that my scores increased from a Blue Lagoon -21 to a Blue Lagoon -31? Same story with other courses, I had White Wiz as record for -17 and I hit it -29 since I started calcing, with being able to hit -31 easily if I just payed more attention.

And then people go flaming me over a -25 Pink Wind? Sorry but that's just laughable. I left 1 comment by an Anonymous person there to show where I am talking about.
Morpheous purely learned me about wind angle reading and ball slope readings, good teeshots, dunking in elevations, click errors and things where I should be careful about whilst playing. Making some of the course records made that day not impossible at all and even breakable.

- So what about -37 SW and -35 WhW?!
-37 Sepia and -35 White Wiz is where the most questions were about.
You could delete those records if you asked me, if everyone hates them.
Like I said, I don't got 3W notes nor green slopes.

-37 Sepia is indeed a bit over the top, I agreed on that. It involves hitting some shots with 3W and backspinning some holes with green slopes which I don't got. Instead this should of been a -33 Sepia wind instead with my own efforts.

As for -35 White Wiz, This round was godly, 1m to 4m winds all the way I'd say.
I'm actually able to hit pangya better then Morpheous on ice or in the bunker let's state that one out first. H8 White Wiz was impossible for me, it's a 3W chip in. and as you can see on the scoreboards as well some of the shots are actual dunks. If you compare that scoreboard to other scoreboards from my previous entries, it's not much of a difference except for the more chip in's.

- The difference between a 256y drive and a 264y drive.
Some of you are stupid enough to mention that you need time and effort to get used to a drive and use this very simple opinion to trashtalk me.
This is wrong however, if you have a reliable 264y HWI sheet, it works the same as a 256y HWI sheet.
I good with dunks, I'm very consistent when it comes do doing dunks. I think it's easier to dunk then to backspin because you need to figure out how much the wind has influence on your green bounces as well.
Alot of the players I've played with before know as well that I love dunking, maybe it's better if I just show you and example of what I mean...

Oh this is all Blue Lagoon, but I don't often use a Silent wind in order to dunk. Mainly during tournaments because Silents are really expensive. I choose a dunkshot over a backspin shots, because I wasn't bothered earlier to make notes of backspin shots because I was simply not knowing where to start...

Using a 264y drive only makes me able to dunk better and thus the record improvements I've made also were shown there.
I think you can make the conclusion now that I'm only not capable yet of scoring a -37 on Sepia Wind.
You can hate me for it, feel free to do so. But I think I've explained it enough already.
The records were made with my own effort, I simply got a bit of help in the process of making the records. Call the records however you like. I'll redo the -37 SW in time when I get to the level to do so.
If you can provide me with constructive critisism I'd be glad to listen to it so feel free to send me any feedback that you want.

- Technical issues...
I seriously have no idea what was going on, but since last GM tournaments I've started to lag really really bad. My pangya rate dropped from 87.5% to 87.1% in less then 2 days. It even came across 1 point where Windows Updater was updating and then caused me to lag, I couldn't turn it off because else I'd d/c from the tournament so I had to cope with it. Having those disabled I thought the problem was still there.

Right now if I even open up a second application like MSN or Winamp whilst playing Pangya I can hardly hit a pangya because it lags. I scanned my computer for virusses or Malware but it didn't help at all. I'm afraid I'll have to take a break from playing if this keeps continuing, I fear the worst if I'm honest...
I don't want to make a fool out of myself either by playing and keep on missing Pangya because it'll just mess up my pangya rate.

Yesterday I attempted to do Blue Lagoon 18H with some notes that I have for the greens there, I managed to hit up -27 when advancing to Hole 14 with a 9.2k pang. I was able to hit a -39 that round for sure because I had 2 red power bars, 2 milks, 1 safety and 2 silent winds left... Hence the fact I used caddie support..

and then the moment of truth...BANG!! BLUE SCREEN!!!! FUUUUUUUUUUCKKK!! Error computer reboot. /RAEG, and now my spacebar is pretty loose...
Idk if I'll play Pangya today to be honest, I'm still freaking upset about this. And I'm simply afraid that it'll happen again. >.>
I'll let you guys know if it's fixed anytime soon or not.

- Gathering notes
I've been busy like I said with gathering notes, this is actually easier then I expected, however I have yet to test these on higher level winds because I need to know how much it actually effects the green at all.
Right now I'm just busy collecting the real pins from par 3 holes so I can can backspin these as well. Just Blue Lagoon at the moment, and I think I'll mix some Pink Wind in it as well.
I don't know if I should do either West Wiz or Blue Moon after that but I'll see.

At the moment, I've gotten still loads to learn but I'll get there. I've had the necessary support to start for my own now so we'll see what will happen.

That's it for now ~

#11 The magic of 264y drive!, Galaxy's mess-ups and Future plans!

2010-08-17T21:36:00.003+02:00

- Chilling with Morpheous.

Today I got Morpheous over since he is on a holiday in Holland, he teached me some tips and tricks.
Thanks to that I've come to the conclusion to actually upgrade my drive from 256y to a whooping 264y!
I wasn't actually able to make it into 264y without Titan on my Twinfeathers, so instead I upgraded my Mythril clubs to full power and use the Twinfeathers as a back-up for 256y in case I feel like playing with that.
Regardless of that, I still need to use 1 powercard every 2 hours in order to use 264y. (Mythril Clubs and Brie)

With 264y I actually hit about the same amount of Pangya as I do with 256y because the actual ppics that I make are due to lags while I do other stuff alongside of Pangya.
Morpheous thought me how to read ball slopes and green bounces more efficiently making me able to Backspin easier without random guessing, Also wind angles since these are my biggest obstacles.
Calculating power is easy, even for dunk but getting the aiming/wind and slope right is the hardest part considering it also has influence on the power I hit.
I'll talk about that all later, right now what's on my mind or what's worrying me is Galaxy's efforts... Once again..

- Galaxy, you failed today!, well a little bit...
An unannounced update? WTF?!
Seriously, they decided to update not even announcing when the server went down and when I checked the website when I couldn't log in I saw swimming suits as the update for Pangya. Rediculous, why would they do something like this again.
Even with everyone whining and being annoyed at the forum the first time, didn't you get the message?...

Oh well, they actually did a maintenance. I have no bloody clue how long it took probably about 3-4 hours but they only updated the cash shop.
Summer clothes? In late August how nice:

Freaking late collection... Did it fall of a freaking truck or something during the transport.. Oh well.
I checked it out, and I wasn't disappointed to be honest.
Of course the outfits for the boys were gay as hell again like usual but they added up 2 nice haircut changes for Arin which you can see in the picture and Anna which I both bought:

The hair is really cute, I like it alot. The Arin change in hair was okayish but I seriously hope for new haircuts soon!
Also Pangya Korea or Japan came up with the 10th actual character, and well.... it's a SHEMALE. Whut?
Yeah no joke, HIS name is NELL.
Quite cute though, I totally want it because I know everyone else doesn't.

There is an actual video of it already by the almighty Sweatdrop on youtube: Nell's Introduction!
There are more out there so check them out, pretty nice!
So what did happen today with my 264y Drive?

- The magic of 264y Drive! (White Wiz COMPLETE!)
So after upgrading to 264y Morpheous helped me out learning some winds during games and also for the ball slopes. Played a few times and I wanted to try out what would happen if I'd play White Wiz since I felt more confident about it.

I actually got a new White Wiz record, I'm seriously happy hunting that -30 is over.
I would like to note out as well that Morph also helped out with the slopes on the green and 3W considering I simply don't got those notes yet. Don't blame me for having these recs right now since it's just simply a matter of time before I can get them 100% myself. But regardless of that I'm still happy I managed to do it.

White Wiz -35!
The winds were seriously godly as well! In the front it was a bit less, but in the back there was like a streak of 1M winds all the way, which made it easy as well. The front was almost perfect, but I didn't into consideration that with a 264y drive I'd hit the castle resulting in an ob, After that a tomahawk for par.

Hole 14 wasn't reachable for Albatross either so that was out of the question and Hole 16 was reject on the dunk in order to save power.
After that we were quite shocked with the result honestly, funny to go from -29 to -35 instantly, but it felt great! And I didn't feel I was close to being done today.

After this White Wiz Morph told my my Pink Wind was just to horrible to watch, I didn't feel for Sepia at the moment anyway so I decided to give it a go at Pink, I barely miss pangya right now. About 3-4x a tournament maximum so I should be able to see what I did wrong straight up as well.
On Pink wind I actually HIO-ed Hole 4, with Spin Mastery and double power!

My top chip distance was 300Y for about idk +1 month now! I still use Twinfeathers at this point for 264y drive but that was due to the Power Rings I still had left.
I ended up with a -36 on this round including that HIO on Hole 4.

After that we attacked some more of my scores, I noticed that I was able to get over 10k Pang on most courses except for the mess-ups (for 10k) On Ice cannon.
I should be able to get Pink Wind -37 soon enough once I start noting stuff like greens.
It doesn't seem hard now that I'm confident with wind angles and ball slope reading, I used to only be able to read full breaks now I can see 0.25/0.5 breaks as well. I also learned that winds arn't always like 40 or 39 but can also be 39.5.

Right now my TCR got boosted from -409 up to -451!
I got a screenshot of my current records:

Ice Spa is still a mess, but I don't feel like playing that. and I still refuse to play Silvia Cannon at all since I don't ever want to use that guide in order to get a -30 score there.
So with my goal archieved of -30ing every course (Well Inferno is a bonus after all) what will I do?

- Future plans!
Oh god, I have no idea, well that's a lie but I really need to think good about this.
I think right now it's important to be able to make records like this consistently, therefore I'd need to get my 2nd laptop running so I can open up excel and write down important stuff.
Right now I have to do it the primitive way, old skool: Notebook and pencil and write-write-write.
Perhaps I will start grinding actually, I feel confident with 24 control but still if I hit the ice it will simply go to fast to normally hit Pangya.

I actually might consider on getting a good score on Ice Spa since that's 1 of the courses which is easy to improve. My pang score is seriously horrible but I've only played it once seriously. I'm really puzzled atm but I think I'll know soon anyway. I think I'm gonna relax for a bit now and gather some notes before really pushing records again, I have some things going on as well and need to do some homework along with having fun with friends and have a life in general :D

And last but not least I'll post up another pangya siggy with my records because I just love keeping track of it.

That's it for now ~

#10 White Wiz's curse, Galaxy updates and Poker Nights?

2010-08-16T16:15:00.002+02:00

Pooh, this is frusterating. I don't know what to do anymore to be honest..
I know, I know, it's just a game. But what if you spend time and effort into the game and no results are coming out you'll feel demotivated right?
Well currently, I'm in a slump honestly I even accidently broke 1 keyboards when -29ing this horrible course.

You might think of me as a noob, but I seriously told myself I'd -30 this course without any notes, but it just simply is impossible for me.
Hole 18 is a bitch, even worse then Hole 17. They are the Deliquent Duo of Pangya. Idk where I got that term from, but it's how it feels.

- 5x -29ing White Wiz with just a birdie or par needed on Hole 18.
That's how horrible it is, I bring for a usual game: 3 Milks, 1 green, 1 safety tee and the rest are power potions.
It just seems that everytime something different is happening where I'm not prepared for, and I don't know why.
Here are some of the scorecards I made so you can see for yourself.

Scorecard 1:

This is a 1 Par, Bogey H18 situation. I don't get what's going on, The teeshot was good.. I think. No restrict and it was only 1.5 breaks. However I ppiced and hit the tree boom ob. -30 gone.
Keyboard gone as well cause I raged like an Angry German Kid there. I slam the spacebar at the last putt and it seems the keyboard cannot take a good hit! (lol)
I didn't do that again anymore, it's rediculous to rage over a game. But still very sour...

Scoreboard 2:

This was just stupid, Hole 18 was 1M wind but I bunker teeshot and ppic again for ob.
I wasn't paying attention good but as Hole 7 was 1M wind, I was like oh shit only easy holes coming up. I ended chipping in everything and seeing that FUGLY -29 again. Just made me log off again and rage in my head.
Everytime I shoot a -29 White Wiz with -30 ABSOLUTELY possible, I just feel demotivated to try again.
I was at Hole 11 here and saw I needed 4 more chips for a -30 With H14 and H17 out of the way I was only worried about Hole 8 which I cannot chip but considing that I actually forgot about Hole 18.

Right now, not motivated. Maybe tomorrow.
Morpheous is coming over since he's in Holland for some time at his friend, we decided to hang out tomorrow so he could teach me a thing or 2 to help out. Looking foreward to that really. Maybe with that I'd be able to get a boost from what I know now in order to learn other stuff myself later on to improve.
-30 is absolutely not impossible, but I just keep brainfarting at Hole 18 White Wiz.
I'm gonna be so happy when I've got -30 here no joke, I even think -30 Sepia will be easier then White Wiz. The last 2 holes are fairly relaxing and easy but Hole 16 might be a pain on high level winds.

- Galaxy update part 1: Forum Signatures!
Yosh, great feature Galaxy. I'm happy with this, I had an arguement with Galaxy before when they pulled of a prank with me and Mav- (Maverick90) on the forum. Not funny at all and unprofessional. But they came up with Forum signatures and I think that compensates what has been done.
We'll we did whine a bit though but still that's no reason to mess about like that.
Galaxy announced a few things, the migration still isn't complete at this point. Satis_ and Greu announced this on the forum as well. I'm happy we got a better view of upcoming things right now but sometimes things still are uncertain for me and others.

- Galaxy update part 2: Other updates.
Satis_ has notified us at the forum that Rankings should be up next week if everything is gonna be alright.
I really love that because I'm a fan with anything that has to do with stats! 1 of the things I do in game is constantly checking other people's stats, it's become a habit for some reason but it's fun to see different people's efforts as well. Ever thought of it yourself? Are you a Stats-Checking addict?

It was also being said that some extra payment methods will be brought in, Galaxy already has more than GOA ever had but this is really good. The thing missing for most people was Click and Buy, that will be coming back and along coming with that is Paysafecard and Internet plus. I'm not sure about what Internet plus is but I think it's similar to IDeal online banking. Nice options from Galaxy and I think it's plenty to make everyone able to buy cookies to their liking.

Good announcements from Galaxy, however I do miss some Twitter updates which have been done so frequently in the first 2 weeks of Galaxy. It might will come again who knows.

- Pangya Poker Nights 2010! (From 20 August to 22 August)
Awesome, Pangya-Radio.com is really great!
They are hosting up an event where they will set up some poker tables to play Texas No Limit Hold'em poker.
The event will be played in upcoming weekend, and right now there about 40 Participations.
It's being said that the players will be devided over tables and that some tables will be played on Friday and Saturday and the Final will be on Sunday, my German isn't good so I need to puzzle a bit.

Personally I love a game of Poker and I think I got a pretty good chance due to my experience on Poker.
The prizes will be devided equally, Flow, Dargelito and Psych_O were kind enough to make extra donations for this event, and by the look of it it's gonna be alot of fun to play as well!
The winner will take 50% of the pot, that's over over 1 Million Pang. So it's seriously worth to participate in this event, The starting time will be about 20:00, so if anyone is interested. During the evening hop in http://www.pangya-radio.com and join in the chat so you can join into the game!

I think Pangya needs events like this hosted by players, soon there will be a POM hosted by carpyYes. I'll give you more details about that once the event comes more near.
I might post up a new entry tomorrow with some whopping records I hope, Personally I dont want to play pangya right now, but I cannot wait to play either tomorrow.

That's it for now ~

#9 Almost there.. but almost isn't enough.

2010-08-14T00:26:00.003+02:00

I'm writing this a bit of depressed I guess, not motivated to play Pangya at all.
Where I've been attempting several times since the GM event to get -30 White Wiz it's the hardest course to accomplish an actual -30 on.

- Wednesday's GM Tournaments.
More about that later though, I actually participated in Wednesday's GM event, the first course was Ice Cannon, and there was only 1 room. I didn't do well since it was shuffle and forgot potions, even with that I managed to get a 21st place... Or that's what I thought, until the last hole was an OB Teeshot which made me Bogey in the end. Result was a 32nd place.

Oh well, Ice Cannon isn't my course I don't know anything about it just that when you can read the wind angle that a -30 is fairly easy to do. With potions of course.
The 2nd course was random as well, the second room was Lost Seaway but I felt that this random could turn out to be something good, and it ended up being.. That's right. Lost Seaway.
I forgot to mention that I barely ever played Lost besides from 1v1 3 hole matches against Nyu- or 2 tournaments I've done before on this course just to learn it.

Therefore I'm actually statisfied with the -31 that I made and 5th place that I gained:

-30 Complete, I'd say and 2 more to go!
So it was back to my White Wiz grinding, -30 Hunting.
My TCR is -407 at this point with the new Lost Seaway added to my record.

- White Wiz, the process and the results.
I'm in a slump.. I don't feel like playing Pangya at all and logging on makes me want to log off ASAP, at least for now...
After trying about 20, 4 n go's which I actually completed and about 30 where I actually quit I still didn't manage to put off a -30 on White Wiz.. This is rather frusterating seriously. I know I need to safe about 2 or 3 powers at H17 now and 1 Safety tee as well. I actually bought some Caddie Supports and some Eddie in order to increase my chances.

However the closest I've been gotten to was a -26 with mistakes of course. Pang wouldn't go above 5K on every single round during these tournaments and it really made me doubt myself. My pangya rate is fine, it'd doable it even went up to 87.1% if I reckon. But I got the idea that without notes I will not succeed in hitting -30 on White Wiz or even Sepia Wind. Which was my goal of course.
So how come I'm so depressed that I'm not even willing to log on or play a game at all, what I just said was not THAT bad right?

That's right it isn't I wouldn't feel like this after that. But the following happened, I said to myself 1 more game for today and I'll log off and do other stuff and try again tomorrow. So I end up joining a versus game, or at least creating one. An old friend from PangyaSEA (Feev) joined in and asked if I wanted a game. So there we started, not knowing something horrible was about to happen.

I never had such a good front on a game as this very versus game of White Wiz, 6 chips of whom 2 were dunks. A shitty ppic on H12 which was 100% in on a 60 degree 2M wind but oh well. (Hurray for Anti-Virus pop-up's) Played it cool but shit the ppic caused me to get the ball on the edge resulting in a stupid par! Oh well shit happens, eventhough I did chip in 7 times already I just had to chip 2 more in order to get a -30. Thanks to Morpheous I managed to chip in H13 since he was awesome to give me the green slope of this hole. And when I dunked Hole 15 in order to safe power I just had -30 in my pocket!

Until I brainfarted at Hole 17...
Ok, not really but yes really. I had 3 powershots left, minus 1 that I used on H16 for a safe toma, which niked btw. Anyhow I tomahawked Hole 17, and I surprisingly enough got a 1W club. WHY DID I USE A SAFETY TEE THERE, I didn't even calculate the slope but I was doing it automatically, I couldn't even reach the hole... I was 1.01y short in order to actually chip in. Oh well that was stupid, but then I completely mess up a birdie by trying to get a good teeshot at H18, 8M face wind it was and oh yeah 3I restrict... Ok I still could chip in but I really was saying fack fack fack all the time..
Oh yeah, I managed to get a good teeshot on the 2nd shot in order to try to chip in H18. To bad the wind was a shitty about 33 degrees which i cannot read -,-

I shouted SHIT and slammed my spacebar on the last putt and well the spacebar button kinda broke so I had to replace it, but ever since this moment I didn't feel to play Pangya at all...
Drama. But I seriously learned from this I just don't know what I actually learned but whatever...:

FML.

Tomorrow I'll try my revenge on White Wiz, in the 2 days I didn't play I studied successful YouTube video's with good teeshots and I've written them down and I'll go attempt -30 White Wiz tomorrow.

TCR update: -408.

That's it for now ~

#8 TCR -400 Complete! + Another 200-Man GM tournament!

2010-08-09T15:55:00.002+02:00

How much can someone hate mosquito's?
I found out at the night of my last blog entry, it was horrible. I tried to sleep at 11 PM and every 5 minutes I'd hear this horrible buzzing noise around my ear driving me nuts, I even tried to stare at my light blub for about 2 hour trying to squash the mosquito as it hopefully would enter the light but I was unlucky. So I went to bed and bam 7 minutes later when I almost slept BZZZT, a goddamit I'm staying up >.>

Totally tired I actually started up Pangya in the afternoon after watching some anime...
Then a miracle happened!

- -30 Blue Water COMPLETE!
Yes really I did it, -30 Blue Water at long last.
Well, not really long last but it seemed like an eternity... I'm not as pro as some people who spend weeks perfecting a score, but if you know -30 is very possible and you had about 10 opportunities to do it easily then why mess it up. It makes a few days seem like an eternity.

Anyhow, I actually introduced a good friend of mine into pangya and when I was in the middle of teaching him a trick or 2 I couldn't resist joining a BW tournament that has about 41 minutes left in it.
Equipped potions, washed my face and entered the tournament with my sleepy face.. (Was about 32 hours awake at this point)

Made a 2-1-2 on the first 3 holes which got me surprised and after that i ppiced on H4 and landed in the bunker with a 2I restrict.. So I said to myself, I freaking hate BW with my life either I make a chip on H5 or I quit trying BW until I got a -41 on BL.. <-- Out of pure rage of course but I actually did chip H5 therefore I continued. Dunk at H9 and at H16 I was certain that there was no way for me to let go of my -30 therfore I decided to play it extra save, not even attempting a backspin at H17 but just toma for a safespot and the same for Hole 18.
I started this tournament at 40:23 time on the clock and surprisingly I finished around 9:28! I had no idea I made my calculations at this speed already but it just seems I'm able to finish tourneys within 40 minutes now as well.

Being overjoyed I actually realized 2 minutes later that I also accomplished my goal of -400 TCR!
Which of course brings me to the point of asking, now what?
I'll come to that later but first there was a tournament at 21:00 again, a 200-Man GM tournament!

- 200-Man GM Tournament, Part 2.
Yes another GM Tournament, they are so much fun!
I really enjoy participating in these because it allows me to kind of compare myself with others and being pressured more during a tournament.
This time unfortunately there was only 1 tournament and there were 3 hosts. Galaxy changed the place where in GM tournaments would be hosted and this time they devided the tournaments in the following:

- Event 1: Ice Cannon (Full right off the bat)
- Event 2: Random - White Wiz (Didn't take long to fill)
- Event 3: Lost Seaway (Was still much room left when the other 2 started)

The tournament were supposed to start at 21:00, I decided to join Random because I didn't like LS much eventhough LS was on the list of courses to -30. I also did not want to join Ice Cannon because I know many pro's would join that one but instead I joined Random... However.. The strongest people actually were on HERE lol! Oh well tough luck so the Random course turned into White Wiz.

I actually pushed myself alot because I was really tired and I was dying to find my bed.. At this time I was probably awake about 36-38 hours? I have no idea at all.

Here is my lovely edited video of the GM Tournament, please watch!

Hole 1 - Toma chip.
Hole 2 - Silent wind Dunk.
Hole 3 - 2W restrict.
Hole 4 - Toma chip.
Hole 5 - 10 BREAK-slope Dunk.
Hole 6 - Forgot what I added in my calc, was tired..
Hole 7 - Think I made 7.5 or 8 spin, same as H6.
Hole 8 - Idk how to aim 3W.
Hole 9 - Wrong angle aim.
Hole 10 - Toma chip.
Hole 11 - Toma chip.
Hole 12 - To lazy.
Hole 13 - Same as Hole 6.
Hole 14 - Club to short to reach the hole.
Hole 15 - Club restrict 2W.
Hole 16 - I have no idea what to do with this hole.
Hole 17 - Due to mess up at hole 6 was forced to use 1 power and had none left for H17.
Hole 18 - Probably 1 of my best chips ever, 10 break 8M wind Toma impact.

Result: -28 6.1K pang, 5th in GM tournament and broke record by 3 strokes! (pretty nice for being awake for 37 hours or so)
I'm really happy about this result to be honest, I feel like doing White Wiz even more now so I think I'll do that one -30 first.

So for the tournament itself:
#1 PowerFull with -35 - 11.9K pang.
#2 Nyu- with -30 - 8.3K pang.
#3 _MvP_FlyGuy with -30 - 7.8K pang.
#4 Mav-(Maverick90) with -29 - 7.1K pang.
#5 Me with -28 - 6.1K pang.

So now that I broke -400 TCR what should I do?

- -400 TCR goal completed!

And with White Wiz it's actually -403 now.
I've actually made a mistake before on the old tabs and switched Sepia Wind with Wiz Wiz, I thought Wiz Wiz was -30 and Sepia -26 how baka but whatever. From now on the total score pics will be good.

So for -30 there is Lost Seaway, White Wiz and Sepia wind left.
I actually achieved every goal from the 2nd blog entry without realizing. Lately I think the courses hunting -30 have been going from difficult to very possible with the exception of Sepia wind.
Perhaps that will come soon but I really guess the key to gain records will always be to never miss Pangya to begin with.

I think I should focus on getting -30 on every course first so I'll make the my new goal.
My pangya rate is almost 87% now, it's going up quite rapidly as well.
I'm coming soon to the point where I'll have to learn to note greens, slopes and mistakes but -30 first!
Perhaps another thing that might be interesting for me to fraps other things then just pure shots or make random video's for this blog as well. I haven't really taking it into consideration yet but the hardest thing for a video would probably to get fitting music to the video.

- A moment of thanks!
Also, I want to thank everyone for their support on my blog, I've gotten a few true subscribers to the blog which I'm quite proud of but also people who pop in now and then to check on what I have to write. I didn't expect much from it to begin with but I actually think I should do more with this blog now. Gotten around the point of getting 300 viewers since the blog started but I hope to make my blog successfull as Sweatdrop at one point *which will never happen* but hey, you can dream right?

That's it for now ~

#7 Close to -400 TCR and My frustration with Blue Water...

2010-08-07T23:47:00.003+02:00

Working hard does gives its results!
I tried Shining Sand really an awful alot of times, and I can tell you that Hole 15 is definetly takes the piss at times but hey, some things are just that way.
I also did a Deep Inferno round for fun which ended in a -22, I chipped enough with a perfect game (Not chip-wise) in order to make a -28 there. It does make me feel quite confident in a way but still I know Inferno won't be easy to -30.

Anyhow back on Topic!

- Shining Sand -30 Complete!
Yosh I did it -30 Shining Sand, and it was really hard.
The front holes were quite awesome, low winds and great teeshots.
I luckily backspin chipped Hole 2, Then I toma chipped H3 to H6.
I didn't wanted to take any risks at Hole 9 so I went for the easy way.
And I used a silent wind at Hole 16 to make sure I had enough strokes in order nail -30 on Shining.

Hole 15 is still an issue, seriously I have no idea how to get past that without messing up. I always end up getting an amazing 8M wind there which I don't know how to use and I always take the wrong decision there.
For the last round before my -30 I calculated that I would need at least an extra 1 or 2 chip ins in order to get a -30 on Sand. On my -30 game H15 was seriously odd, I used a Tomahawk on the trampoline and it bounced to the left, from there I could 2I tomahawk gladly for a safe birdie.

Here is the scoreboard:

I'm glad this one is over because to be honest, I dislike sand ALOT.
It can be enjoyable at times but I've got other courses for that... Like West Wiz!

- 30 West Wiz Complete!
This was the very same day as Shining Sand so that was good, it wasn't as hard as Shining Sand but I notice that once I'm finally having -30 in sight I start to ppic alot more then I should or mess up in general.
I took a bit of a risk here with -30 West Wiz, not that it was hard. But it was only -1 above my old record.
For some reason the rounds you accomplish something with feel more relaxed then other arounds.

Having a clear mind while playing, not having tension at all or barely, and simply playing how you are supposed to play. Good example of this was H12 which I dunked, for no particular reason. Just because I felt like it:

It didn't look like a dunk at all at first but I was mistaken.
The round didn't look great at first, missed an easy HIO at Hole 2 as well.
But I managed to create a freaking -32 on this around!
Hole 14 is still a mystery to me but I'm I decided to use a silent wind on that hole in order to HIO it, I used about 6 cuts more then what the normal calculation would say.

Here is the scorecard of my West Wiz round:

With this round my TCR is -397 so 3 more strokes for -400.
I was considering which courses are smart to do in order to get this.
The following courses are yet not -30, the bold ones are courses that are on my list and the italic ones are courses I won't touch for a while:

Lost Seaway (-27 now)
White Wiz (-25 now)
Blue Water (-27 now)
Sepia Wind (-26 now)
Wind Hill (-16 now)
Silvia Cannon (-8 now)
Deep Inferno (-22 now)

Before I realized half of the courses are -30 or higher already *pats own shoulder* great progress in the last few weeks since I started to calc.
So right now I need to decide which course I should do in order to make a -400 happen.
And I've decided to go with Blue Water.

- I can't stand Blue Water!!!

- About 35 Nikes.
- 6 or 7x -26 in a row, and that only today.
- Nobody can be arsed to do this course, a 4 n go takes me for about 10 minutes in order to start.

I don't like Blue Water, I have a grudge against it and it's not freaking the same as Blue Lagoon. NOT WITH 256Y!
I was seriously fed up with Pangya today that I rage shutdown pangya after the 12th nike I made in 1 game.
Seriously.. I have no idea about this course. The worst part was that game which was supposed to be a -31 and that I made a give up rage on H17 cause of 1 lousy ppic. I could of at least finised that decently with a -29 but no I just had to mess it up again. Maybe tomorrow I'll feel more at ease, I barely had sleep last night as well so. But I seriously cannot stand to play Pangya a second longer today.

I've gotten the idea I play Pangya to much lately and that I need a break from it all, I want -400 before that of course but still. I hate to do things that I dont like... And I hate it even more to do things half-heartly.
The Blue Water part is the last part that happened today but here follows something nice that happened at night yesterday.

- LOL WTF 74.85Y PUTT!!!
This was my first reaction when I did it, it felt like the first time doing a roll-in chip on Pangya as well!
Ice Spa is totally overrated, but it's 1 of the most fun courses though. It has some surprise element on it that all ice courses got on it. I think you can pretty much calculate everything in Pangya because it's programmed, but I think putts are the hardest thing to calculate after 40y. Either it's complete luck or just a matter of experience.
This is also the reason why H18 of Ice Cannon is part of the most favorite holes in my opinion, it's always a matter of complete luck as well. I managed to HIO that one 2x in about 6 years of playing time so imagine.

Here is a screenshot of my amazing putt:

I loved the fact that the day before I made this putt Nyu- told me that my Longest putt was pretty noob (36y) but I barely get long putts like this, and now mine is higher then his! (lol)
I didn't expect anything from this so I didn't fraps it either *actually I forgot to start up fraps to begin with...*

I'll get Blue Water -30 this weekend I swear! -30 will be mine!

That's it for now ~

#6 Pangya Europe in General, Pushing my TCR and 10 Card Packs.

2010-08-05T22:27:00.004+02:00

- IDIOTS ARE ANNOYING!
All-round Pangya Europe is a great community, nice GMs and such good updates.
But, if there is one thing that I don't like about online games is the fact that there are always downsides.
Such as hackers, stupid people and idiots in general. Right now I've came across the point where I simply just have to rant about some things that I do see happen or that are being created by idiots.

First point in here, people claim they are legit and such but then you come across their stats seeing that their Ice Cannon has -33 for example without about 12K or 13K pang. Also when you do see these people play they only play a specific course which is Ice Cannon. What pops in my mind at that point is, don't you simply get tired playing a single course over and over without accomplishing anything for real?
Perhaps these people don't know how to play anything else besides ice courses but that's not for me to judge.

Then I have this screenshot of random player:

I won't call names but this person was very high ranked as I took this pic "World Pro".
Playing his ghost also showed me that he used a HIO calculator. I can tell that because I used one for 1 year or so. Exactly the same mistakes and misses on 1M winds. I think it's quite laughable when an idiot like this person tells me that I cannot play normally and make his brother whisper me saying that I'd be jealous about that he could play and I couldn't?

Yes, another idiot. I HIO'ed once and he called me a hacker.
Oh yeah, I he also was a friend of NoKrim and Umlaut was his father.
Also he called me a noob as well.

There are more people like this in PY Europe really.
I sometimes cannot be bothered by the fact that Galaxy is a French company and that the community exists for about 65% of French people. I'm friends with some of them who are nice and all, but you've got 11-year old kids (Mentally) who are just simply to FREAKING lazy to speak a decent word of English. When you join a tournament they just spam (fire)HIO HIO HIO(hat)(pangs) without even chipping in. I don't have a grudge against French people at all, but this certainly makes me tired. Join a 4 n go room, ask for 40 minutes and BAM kick without hesitation and when you join back in you get kicked again for not being French.

Now I just know 1 sentence in French which is: Je ne parle pas français, but even with that I often get the reaction: "french" I mean WTH, use your common sense goddammit this is irritating in so many ways, I mean didn't you go to elementary school or something? It's seriously not that hard to say: "sorry i dont speak english." Sometimes I just really wish this was an English community game only simply because everything also gets announced in French as well. Hey, no problem in that but if you forget to announce it in English as well. I'd say that's rather disturbing.

I had some more issues today with some other pangsters but I'll leave that out of here. Anyhow I'm done ranting almost. Atleast at the idiots of this game I am.

- Pushing towards -400 TCR(Total Course Record)
This is my new goal for this week and should be quite easy to obtain, only 9 strokes to go.
I've also set up my eyes on -30 on Shining Sand, but I seriously hate this course.
I totally fail at reading the ball slopes good enough in order to chip in, I chipped about maximum 4x on 1 game which isn't enough. Also hole 15 is a total bitch, I seriously have no idea how to gain a free eagle there without losing an extra stroke for placing the ball horribly.
I'll try to get -30 until tomorrow then I'll move on to a different course.

I managed to make -28 today and yet again I messed up hole 15, this time I managed to birdie though but still I'm not statisfied playing this course this horribly.
Practically I'm working at getting -30 on each course except for Silvia Cannon, Wind Hill and Deep Inferno.
I'll do this before I start working at backspins more carefully. The hardest ones are definetly gonna be Sepia wind and White Wiz but I'll manage in time.

Today I managed to -32 Ice Spa rather easily by chipping in once and failing 2 easy eagle opportunities.
This is the 3rd time I'm playing Ice Spa and I notice that at H16 I lack 1 power in order to toma for an easy HIO. Ice Spa is seriously overrated, for me I should -38 it in order make it count as a true -30 for me personally. But I'm not to fond of using spikeshots, I just don't feel comfortable using them yet but they are needed for this course. I think -40 on Ice Spa is easy able with some spike notes but I'll work on that in the future. But like I said, substract 8 strokes from the total course record and you'll have the real score.

I keep getting the suggestion to use a SC guide, but I seriously refuse to use a guide for this course. I want to do it on a normal way, I'll wait for SC until Season 5 ever comes so I don't have to learn the rediculous interval between cannon shots and such. It's too easy, I see people with -24 BL/PW scores get -31 on SC with 11K pang, that's just stupid. With a guide the whole purpose of having 4 stars at this course is gone. Simple as that.

Here is my current TCR card:

- West Wiz lags
Yeah, it lags like hell. I don't know what causes this but it's been ever since yesterday.
In the late night tournament at 5 am everyone suddenly started to lag like hell and this morning the lag was still there, that's why I decided to ceasefire on West Wiz and focus on other courses.
Basically when you try to hit a Pangya the indicator moves flawlessly and I see my FPS(Frames Per Second) going up as well, but once I zoom in or I'm at the normal interface my FPS goes below 20 and it's unbearable to try to move or anything. However though, if I'm zoomed out this problem isn't here so I have no idea what is causing it.

Lowering my special graphics helped a bit but I'm still on lowest nonetheless, there is nothing to lower anymore. It's also strange that yesterday night it suddenly started to lag. I had this theory about the clouds causing the lag since the FPS drops whenever they pass by but I don't got this problem at WizWiz so I'm a bit puzzled, I hope this gets fixed soon. Simply setting spin to Toma takes 1 to 2 minutes alone. Moving the mouse to click at pbs also takes long. If anyone knows what to do about this, I would like to know.

- 10 Card Packs.
I did about 10 Card Packs today just because I felt like it.
Considering anglenoob and PureLuck had gotten a Bree SC I felt that I should get the 3rd one!
No really I just felt like this would be a nice day to do some Card Packs.

Here is the video of the 10 attempts:

I must be the luckiest person on Pangya when it comes at doing card packs, I got my 7th Bree SR and I know Morpheous is gonna hate me for it. Then again I'd rather -40 PW instead of getting Bree SR 7x...
Priorities, priorities and priorities...
I'm seriously happy about this very Bree SR, because I'm considering to start playing with Arin now that I got my Rune wings. I also got 4 control cards left that I could use so I need to see what I'll do.

Nowadays Control cards go for 300k, which is sick. It was 230k about 1 month ago.
I might save my Kidy SR to sell it once the price gets to 3M pang. I don't know certain what I will do but I'll await the next update to make a decision.
If card vials come out then my decision is quite clear I'd say but that will probably have to wait for a while.

This is it for now ~

#5 -30 Blue Moon Complete and -31 WIZ WIZ?!

2010-08-03T23:31:00.000+02:00

The new Rune Wings from the Pangya update really help alot!
I miss about 3 or 4 Pangya's maximum during a game I still need to increase my feeling for hitting Pangya but that will come when I'll have a less laggy computer, I'm even lucky to be able to use fraps to record video's on the blog.

Checked on Lucia's event and the first clue was "It's a hot place."
After that I decided to do Shining Sand, I missed pangya only 1 time but I was just getting notes from there to backspin on there so I didn't got much of a score.

I kind of enjoyed myself with these wings and decided to join in the first tournament that was on my list of breakable records: (WeWi, Sand, White and Moon)
I saw a 45 Minute West Wiz open so I joined:

- -29 West Wiz
Oh I can still feel the pain of this game.
Honestly how can I be on course for a -30 and par Hole 17?
Quite simple, just attempt a dunk and ppic for the first time in that very tournament.
Everything else went flawless I really was upset about my stupitity on this hole... Sometimes I just think it's better to try for roll-in instead of dunk/backspin.
The pin for H18 was the most horrible one, it was out of reach for an Albatross.
I hope this was a good lesson for me, now that I think of it. I should be more secure with scores like this.
Better luck next time.

After West Wiz I took a quick break and after coming back home I made a Blue Moon game and here is where the magic did happen!

- -30 Blue Moon(COMPLETE!)
YOSH! Finally, -30 I did it seriously I did it!
I'm proud of myself and I took my own advise at the West Wiz game, no unnecessary risks then it's not needed.
Chip in 4x at Front and 4x at the Back, it's easier then it looks in reality.
Just had to chip in 8 times without any stupid mistakes and you get this:

H12 was a pity though, 1M face wind with 269y pin. I ppiced so the H13 made up for that. I seriously got nervous over H16. I was afraid I wouldn't have a power left and end up ppicing H18 on the water what usually happens. I had 2 power bars left at H18.
Really great, I worked about an entire week for this score I know I'm not a professional yet but this was hard for me.
I'm definetly staying away from Blue Moon until I get backspinning down a bit.

I wanted to play a course that I liked after being overjoyed by completing my Blue Moon mission that I decided to join my favorite course, Wiz Wiz. Yes this is my favorite course, I love the music and the course itself is lovely and very clear.
I joined and the impossible happened...

- -31 Wiz Wiz!!

I really love this course seriously, I wonder how many times it does happen when you join a game for fun and break a record that you really did dream of only. Never in my case..

H2 to H6 was very awkward for me, I totally didn't expect to chip in 4x there.
when I reached H16 and seeing the easy pin I almost was 100% sure to get -30. I was afraid though to ppic at H17 but I managed. H18 was just a gamble moment, actually this is the hole I've dunked the most in the last few days, everytime I played this hole I dunked it so I tested my luck. I think I'm able to read the slope really good here as well.
Yeah it went in and I scored a -31!
And 7.1k Pangs!, I wasn't able to reach more on Pangya EU so far and I refuse to play Silvia Cannon with a guide.

This is a really good day for these Rune Wings, right now I've got 3 pixels. Kidy Secret(4 star) card in my top and the Rune Wings. Today was a big confidence boost to break records and I'm looking foreward to break -30 West and -27/30 Sands now.

I want to get a total course record of -400 soon which is very possible for me now, I'm on -385.
But in fact I wish to get that by getting up every course to -30 except for DI/WH and SC.

Tomorrow I'll try to get some records again.

That's it for now =D

#4 100K to 500K Approach Cup and the Rune Wings update!

2010-08-03T17:31:00.000+02:00

Yesterday was quite fun honestly it was.
I trying to get some rest from trying to break -30 Blue Moon after I had a potentional -29 and 1 par so wherefore I joined an Approach game.
Get the ball close enough and not get it in was something I was pretty good at after all.

I joined in a room with about 15 people and played about 2 games, then we tried to bring in more people but it's hard to actually find people to play Approach with.
So in the game afterward I announced that I would hold a award for the winner of the Approach games and thus the 100K Approach Cup was made.

- 100K Approach Cup
As we remade the room I decided to ticker a bit that I'd hold the event and soon enough we had 30 people to play with.
Here is a nice movie of the Approach game make sure you check it out!

As you can see WAH won quite overpowering so I offered to give him 100K, however he was quite generous and I think many agreed it was fun to play so he told me to throw the 100K in for the next game.
After that a trend was made, the next game --EEPHIL-- won and he said the same: "Use it for the next game."
Also fraisie, Vero_duRaff and LeRaff won. And they said the same, it would of looked selfish if someone would take the 100K.
It was fun to see everyone enjoying a good game of Approach since the chat was quite active and funny. When we finished the 6th game I decided to give the Approach Cup a little twist.
This time I decided to give 500K to the person who has the most distance at the end of the run therefore making them shoot as far as possible.

It was looking that xxJackiexx was going to win but in the end he OB-ed a total of 2x so the_kart managed to beat me by 10y in the end:

Yeah what can I say, he was very happy with the 500k.
I enjoy doing things like this for others, it creates a nice community and the people are fun to hang around with too. Not just for money purposes of course, but just in general.

- Versus mode 18 holes...
Not anymore, not for records.
1 game just takes up to much time to finish if you made a single mess up that costs you a record.
I tried this on Shining Sands twice today and where I could usually just finish in 35-45 Minutes it would take more then twice the time. Not really worth it if you ask me, however if you do make a mistake it actually makes all the tension of making a great game away and you can play more at easy and stay focussed better.

That was all really for that day but tomorrow the Rune Wings would come out so I couldn't wait for that.
Wasn't tired last night so watched The Karate Kid 2010 (Downloaded)
"Loved the scene with chopsticks and the fly swatter!"

- Rune wings update!
Logged in at 12:00 and **** I cannot connect, they must be late..
Then Nyu- made me realize that what they said was CET (Central European Time) And that was in Winter Time... right now it's CEST (Central European Summer Time) but why the heck would Galaxy games say CET when they live in france where it is CEST.... Confusing really.
You could see it at the forum as well, people making threads about it and Twitter didn't say anything either..
So I waited and decided to edit my Approach Cup movie.

Around 13:40-13:45 the server actually went up which was late nonetheless but ok, I was happy enough I could waste some scratch cards!
And my calculations were about right, I said that I would spend about 600-750 Scratch cards in order to get all of the wings, so here is a list of when I got what:

Max's Wings - 53 Scratch cards
Uncle Bob's Wings - 58 Scratch cards
Cecilia's Wings - 66 Scratch cards
Anna's Wings - 216 Scratch cards
Lucia's Wings - 236 Scratch cards
Nuri's Wings - 498 Scratch cards
Kaz's Wings - 608 Scratch cards
Kooh's Wings - 611 Scratch cards
Arin's Wings - 633 Scratch cards

Between Lucia's Wings set and Nuri's Wings set I kinda had a WTF moment because I started to get nervous/desprate and thought of methods of still getting those wings:
- Relogging
- Closing the scratch window
- Alt Tabbing...

Who knows it might get me more lucky, but as you can see the rates are 1:75ish. They claim 1:100 but I doubt that ever I've seen many lucky people who have even a better rate then I do.
I feel sorry for a few of my friends who didn't get anything even in 150 or even 300 Scratches...
I would definelty give a few of my wings to them if I had the ability but tradables arn't out yet.. Blame Galaxy..

Here is a moment of me getting a set of Rune Wings for Cecilia:

I don't know what to think yet, will they really help? I sure hope so but we'll find out soon enough.
Galaxy games also made an shop update but like I mentioned before that once seriously isn't that interesting..
Good update nonetheless!

I might throw in a quick update if I actually manage to break 1 of the recs I'm aiming for.

But this is it for now.

#3 Rune wings update, 200-Man GM tourney and Mess ups...

2010-08-02T02:55:00.000+02:00

Galaxy games is surely showing their good side lately, quick 1-on-1 support + solutions/results, events and updates.
For the upcoming update on the 3rd of August we'll have:

- Cash shop update:
To be honest I don't expect much from this, but it's part of the game however so yeah.
Even the picture itself looks really stupid..

And finally Rune wings!:
Yes finally! They have arrived, I needed this update because I missed out the fairy wings.
The best part of this is that I can actually start using that big pile of Scratch Cards that I got for this purpose!
Also 1 plus on this is that they are now to be released by scratch and not buying them for super expensive in the store.

I did see Rune wings coming soon within 3 months at least, but not this quick.
Great update really along with the Lucia event I'd say its a good start of Galaxy's service for Pangya Europe.

These 2 updates will be added on the 3rd of August.

Galaxy made changes again, something we already had but in this case the Change Name feature came back again: It allows you to change the name of your character for 100 cookies at your profile at the website. I was really hoping to change my IGN into something different with an emoticon in it but instead they kept it the same as GOA, not surprising but still I'm quite disappointed in this. Names go by from 3-11 letters maximum which is quite short if you ask me.
They also mentioned it's not available "For now."
I wonder what that means, perhaps that they will come out later on anyway? Who knows..

- 200-Man GM Tourney's
Today was a great day, GM Satis/Greu and DoctorGlobo hosted a few 200-Man GM tournaments!
And the rewards are Scratch Cards.
They held a total of 3/4 tournaments. I was lucky enough to end in the top 30 each round which got my 30 scratch tickets extra (Yahoo!)

The first one was Shining Sand which started at 19:00.
It was a 30 Minute tournament, so I wasn't quite pleased and ended up rushing and wasn't able to shoot some footage of this event by Fraps.

WAH won this one with -31

It was pretty insane, ended 26th with -25 after making a Double Bogey on hole 4.
It was because of the presure of time "30 minutes" and messing up early on...

The rewards for every tournament were:
1st: 30 Scratch cards.
2nd: 20 Scratch cards.
3rd: 15 Scratch cards.
4th-30th: 10 Scratch cards.
And the rest: 1 Scratch card.

The 2nd tournament was Ice Cannon and it started at 21:00. This time it was 40 minutes. Alot of people requested 35-40 minutes because it was more relaxing.
This time the winner was _MvP_FlyGuy with -32.

And after that the GMs realized that alot of people got lag issues and weren't able to join in a 200-man tourney because it was full. So they made 2x a 200-Man tournament, funny enough both rooms ended up with about 170-180 people each, which was quite alot in fact.
You had Blue Water and Blue Moon - Due to my grudge against Blue Water in the evening I decided to go with Blue Moon and hoping for a -30 score.
And this time I managed to get some footage!

I made a quick video about how insane these tournaments are:

Ended 17th with -23 "Shame", and juvamine got 1st with -31.
I'm quite proud of myself however, where I used to be messing up and barely getting -20 at times I basically get more then -20 in each single 18h game which is nice.

- Blue Moon, I'm not done with you!
Today I tried to push my WizWiz a bit higher, yes WizWiz and ended up joining a game with a friend. I was able to make -27 WizWiz and break -26 until I OB-ed on H10 by ppicing...
I cannot wait until Tuesday for the Rune Wings, maybe then I can kill some unnecessary ppics I make due to blinking my eyes or any sympthoms of ppic.
I'll have to get -30 Blue Moon soon really or I'm gonna freak out, I've had already 4 potentional -30s for Blue Moon (-31 even) but either I mess up at the beginning or at the end, or just ppic...
I didn't even touch Blue Moon today besides for that 200GM Tournament.

I think my Pangya rate might be able to hit at least a 88-90% with these Rune Wings, and they are cheap as well so I'll just get them for every character. I think this will cost me about 500-600 Scratchies in the luckiest situation, And I might consider grinding my way up to Semi-Pro to switch my drive from 256 to 264y since I most likely be able to bear 264y.
Unfortunately Elf ears arn't tradable yet... Seriously, I hope either guilds or tradables come available for the next good update, currently I got a headset with Quma inside but I don't really need it so perhaps Elf ears might be nicer.

Back to Blue Moon though, for a -30 game I'd need 8 chip in's and no mess up's. It's not impossible but it's quite hard and really pushing me to the edge. I can do it, I even chipped in 9 times... So not impossible, just hard. If upcoming week still does not allow me to break -30 Blue Moon then I might consider focussing on White Wiz -28 or Sand -27, I only want West -30 when I finished Blue Moon or Blue Water.
However though, the problem is that I know that I can get -30 Blue Moon, I definetly can. Just lately I mess up games which I normally play without mistakes in putting and such.
So much to stress about, I'll take a chill pill and get a good night rest.

That's it for now.

#2 Quick update, Pink wind -30!

2010-07-31T00:02:00.001+02:00

Oh god finally I managed to -30 Pink Wind.
Also got Lucia's missing thing from this eventhough I didn't even pay attention to that much..
Nice accomplishment on my list but I wasn't pleased on THIS very -30.
Here is the scorecard:

H4 - Ppic ended with 49y left in the bunker..
H10 - Beam reject when doing dunk, should of done tomahawk 1M face wind 88 degrees left...
H17 - Same as Beam reject when doing toma, ended up landing 37y away...

Still a great round for me, but I should try to backspin more instead of dunking..
After H12 I started to get nervous and was afraid I'd mess up enough to not get -30 but thank god I did!

I won't be playing Pink Wind before I get more records up, perhaps I'll aim for a -32+ on Blue Lagoon(Got -30 now) but here is what I got in mind:

-30 West Wiz (-29 now)
-27 to -30 Shining Sand (-26 now)
-28 White Wiz
-30 Blue Moon

Somehow I don't feel comfertable playing Blue Water.. So I won't focus on that for now.
Perhaps because I always play BW when I'm fatigued, who knows.
I guess I'm a bit lazy for starting to note greens because I feel Tomahawk and Dunks are more safe but I'm gonna need to start backspinning soon in order to accomplish some good records.

Off to bed for now.

#1 First Entry and a dunk.

Just testing out something, Made this blog just now.
I'm not to sure what to think about it but it looks fun to keep track and record of my efforts on Pangya, I'll be posting up video's with Fraps and just random things I feel like posting.

Here is a video of my first Dunkshot on tape, H18 WizWiz:

Kind of struggling with Blue Moon and Pink Wind atm.. I'm really desprate for -30 there however I keep messing up an ppicing when I'm not supposed to ppic. Oh well.

Before I forget! I also did 17 card packs, Got 1 control card which was quite decent so you could say I'm statisfied about this.
17 Card packs:
- 1 Control Card (Junior)
- 1 Max (Super Rare)
- 1 Eddie(Mascot/Super Rate)

Subscribe to my Youtube channel as well, I will always upload video's there which I might not blog about.

Alright, that's it for now.
