After getting killed once by some asshole survivor in the Revive Point, I did not waste any Action Points (AP) doing anything else but stand back up and wait for someone to revive me.
I think I need to explain something here. Everything I do in the game uses 1 Action Point, except zombies when they move, which takes 2 APs per square. APs increase by 1 every 30 mins, or 48 every day. Standing up after dying uses 10 AP though. And Revive Points are areas where zombies go to to wait for someone to revive them. These are unofficial neutral zones and there is an unspoken rule that no killing is allowed there.
After a day of waiting, someone finally revived me! So I stood up, scanned the lone zombie standing next to me to make sure his skills are human ones (which would imply that this zombie is a fallen human, not a true zombie), revived him and ran to the nearest safe building.
And that's it for today.
A rough itinerary for the exchange program to HK was emailed to me today. We will be staying in HKU hostel...
I'd really rather get a hotel room..
If the hostel is within the HKU campus, then it is quite some distance from the nearest MTR station. This would make things hard. At least most of the R&R days are on weekdays, so Disneyland and Ocean Park will be emptier.
Good thing I have a map of HK that I can bring along.
My books aren't here yet! Still another 2-3 weeks of waiting ahead! I'm halfway through Tanequil, the 2nd book of the trilogy. I will need to reread another series again.
Just watched Last Hour. Really bad movie. The director was probably directing his first movie. To make things worse, the story was bad and the story was written by the director. The scenes were a mess. There were no effects or anything to show that certain scenes were flashbacks. Everything moved back and forth too rapidly. Some actions by the characters were hard to understand (like why Casino had to walk to the window when everyone else walked to somewhere else) , while some scenes were not very clearly linked with the previous ones (e.g. when they were searching the rooms).
The actors were pretty bad too. The CID agent might have been the worst actor I have ever seen, acting like a sulky little kid when, I assume, he was supposed to look fierce and bossy.
The end was atrocious. The reason for the whole plot just came out of nowhere. I think the director just pulled something out of his ass and threw it at the end of the script.
I can only compare this movie with Manos: The Hands of Fate, which is slightly worse than this. If you haven't watched Manos, that's because it wasn't produced in our era, but in 1966. It is supposed to be one of the worst movie ever made in the history of film-making. It was so bad, the actors left the theater halfway through its premiere. Quentin Tarantino keeps one of the original 35mm copy of the film because it is one of his favourite "comedy" (Manos: The Hands of Fate was released as a horror flick).
Overall, I wouldn't even recommend downloading it. It'd be a complete waste of bandwidth. But Manos would be an educational film to watch. It teaches its audience how bad films can really be and they should be thankful Hollywood hasn't reached its standards yet...
