Rant 771 / I'm Voting For UMNO.

So according to records in Window's Problem Reports and Solutions, I've been getting BSODs twice a day since the 28th.

From what I remember, they've almost all been Stop Errors caused by NTFS.sys.

But I've already used in-depth Disk Check (Windows chkdsk) and WD's Memory Diagnostics. Absolutely nothing found. Meanwhile, Microsoft hasn't found any answer to my problem.








Kate Middleton's FB page was hacked and vandalised by presumably 4chan Anons just now (6am now at GMT +8). Why am I not surprised?

Anyway lots of images were posted there, some of them child pornography. Pretty bad.













Stop pretending.











So now I've been playing as Mordekaiser mostly on LoL these 2 days, ever since the two embarrassing consecutive losses against Intermediate bots while playing as Taric in which I was terrible.

But now I keep getting accused of ksing (kill-stealing). One of my lane partners even counted the number times I ksed him (seven). I got a Godlike streak just from ksing him, apparently.

The problem is, I wasn't even trying to ks anyone!

Seriously, I've been playing as a healer for so long, I didn't even know I've to hold back my abilities. Playing as healing support is simple during battles - heal your allies and go all out on your enemies because even when you do, you probably can't kill shit anyway, but you'll hurt them enough to let your allies kill them more quickly (eg Taric's stun and Kayle's slow and splash damage).

Therefore I was going all out on enemies as usual, spamming all spells Mordekaiser has every time the cooldown timers end. However from my allies' points of view, it probably appeared as if I was waiting till the enemies were almost dead before spamming my spells. The truth is that that's how long it took for my spells to be usable again after I spammed everything at initial contact.

Anyway, Mordekaiser is fun. His abilities cost HP instead of Mana or Energy, which means as long as I'm alive, I can always cast my spells. This, in turn, means I have to practice self-discipline so that I won't drain my HP too quickly, which I did initially when I first tried this hero. Died a lot.

The lack of disabling spells also took a little getting used to. As Taric and Kayle, I could either stun or slow my enemies, but this guy has only damage spells. Even the one ability that increases my spell resistance also does damage to nearby enemies. But nothing to slow them down with.

Furthermore, I can't use many of the Recommended items on this hero because it doesn't make sense to get items that don't increase my HP regeneration, other than the boots. From other people's advices during the games and what I've observed so far, HP regen is everything to this hero.

So the last game I just bought the initial Recommended shield item, the boots and the 2nd item from the right, then went to the list of HP Regen items and took one of them.

It worked so well!

I think I'll save up enough IP to buy this guy next. Costs 3150 IPs, so I'm less than 2k short.

Oh damn, I'll also have to replace all the runes I have that boost mana regen.








So I've finally gotten around to copying stuff over from my old external HDD. After some testing, I noticed that even though it powers down at random, it's still alive in that I can feel it mildly vibrating inside. Moreover it randomly revives itself after some time and this does not interrupt the copy process.

Things are going smoothly now, albeit at a very slow pace for the most parts. It's really not fun to watch 20GB of files being transferred at hundreds of kilobytes per second, but luckily I can do other stuff without affecting it.

And of course I tested the files at random. Appears to be fine so far.







So even my mother is telling me to vote for the PAP. I didn't think she'd care, but I guess she has cause for worry since some of the best guys from one of the opposition parties are contesting in my area.

Still, I don't really want to think about politics, not when everyone else has been talking about it for weeks already. I've had enough of it.

And if you want to know who I'm voting for, well, fuck you, it's a secret.

I'm voting for UMNO.
