Pssssttt PPSSPP

Why psssttt? Cuz I'm typing this at night.

And for those who doesn't know, PPSSPP is the emulator for PSP which runs on the computer (which allows us to play PSP games on the PC).

===================================================================

Okay, I wrecked my laptop few weeks ago by playing around with the operating system too much. I know I'm no pro at computing, but... *sigh*

So when it came back from repair, I was like, okay let's re-customize stuff around. Then I noticed I don't have any games on the laptop that I enjoy so I wanted to install the PS2 emulator and continue with Tales of the Abyss, (quite time-eating job at installing the plugins) but then when I started running the game, it was so slow!! *OhnnnoohhhhIcan'tplayPS2gamesonmylaptop*

There goes my plan on playing Final Fantasy XII on my laptop down the drain too. I was playing FF XII when my PS2 got spoiled so I was kinda sad on not finishing the story. Then there was another sadder story on me going through Final Fantasy X on the computer at home and I was finishing at least 3/4 of the story and then my dad took the disk drive to format. I didn't have  my chance to cry at that game... *sad* (That game was popular as having a touching storyline, fans cried at the ending.)

So might as well install a PSP emulator and play Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep. (Yeah I'm quite a Square Enix fan)

Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is the prequel to the Kingdom Hearts series. My first game was Kingdom Hearts II, and I fell in love with the story that I went online to know more about the series. And I played the other installments of the series too. Really love the creator behind it.

[Years before when the game came out I watched the cutscenes online, and fell in love with Aqua's character. But now I began the game as Terra, and get to realize that I will have love for the other characters too. <3 And yeah they have better controls compared to KH II :P ]

(People may think that gaming is a waste of time, well isn't that direct? In fact, some RPG games have a more interesting storyline than novels or movies do. Plus, strategy gaming is good training for the brain, people just don't see it that way, sadly. Not to say that games are all good, just saying that there are good.)

Oh well.

====================================================================

Didn't went 100% well with IELTS speaking test today, sadly. *grumps*

And I'm actually hoping typing a blog post will help with my essay writing?

Haha, ironic.

=====================================================================

What makes a good story is how the story is portrayed to the viewers and how the message reach the viewers.

Many aspiring writers just think that a typical build up of story with beautiful flowery words makes a good novel and publishers actually publish it.

There is something novelists (movie scriptwriters or game script writers maybe) should know, is that instead of creating an easy-to-see-through plot with beautiful adjectives (which seems touching) and getting it publish ASAP, it is important to create a story that makes you proud of, and would not make the readers feel their money had gone down the drain.

Hmm......
