Lulz. Deep and meaningful ranting? Not today, I’m afraid. It’d probably be something related to 4th job, and all the jerks that are going to abuse their power anyway…

No, today…today, my mission is to die. Lots. Lots and lots and lots. The best way to do that? Find a really hard game. Can’t find a really hard one? Find a really cruel one. Following such criteria, what did I come up with? This hot cup of kitten flushing, puppy choking, chipmunk chucking goodness: read more

I PROMISE YOU that title means something. Bear with me. XD

Maplestory Reviews

Check out those reviews. For the sake of being short, I ask that for each of them (need not be all of them unless you have that much time to burn), you just scroll down to the community area. Yeah. Okay. Now do it for another. And another. Notice a trend? Mhm. Out of the reviews that I skimmed, I only saw a SINGLE community score that was above 5. I could’ve missed lots, but nonetheless, you see the pattern. Unless you’ve been on Mars, in a cave, with your ears plugged and your eyes shut, you should know: read more

Perfection. It is unobtainable by mankind. Everyone has flaws (except me. I’m perfect. =D). However, that fact doesn’t seem to hold true in Maplestory. Indeed, it is absolutely IMPERATIVE that everything from your build, to your skills, to your equips be perfect. This came to my attention just today. read more

Currently listening toooo: Duality <—- interesting mix of ‘sounds’ in that song.

Welcome to my first eva guide! See, I’ve been working on a newly created nublet on the wonderfully inflated server of Kradia. I’ve pqed for a while, so I decided to make this guide for the sake of education. Helping me out with this guide will be the very nublet I made. Say hello to lnspectorK (Actually LnspectorK, but come on, you can’t even pronounce that)! read more

Meh gosh, I’ve been here a lot lately.

Anyway, the words “LEVEL UP”. I haven’t seen those in a looooong time now. I blame it on the giant lump of leveling boredom that bowman go through due exclusively to low hp and a lack of flash jumpy mobility. Sure, it’s nice to see good, high number each hit of a strafe, but it’s sobering to know that if even one of those high numbers were to strike us, we’d get either knocked out, or put on the brink of death. Things weren’t always hard though. To prove that, I have put together a nice little (long) summary of my life as a ranger… seriously. This is gonna be lengthy. read more

Currently listening tooooo: Zodiac <—–Same maker as Anubis, Aliyah. ;D

Guess what time it is? Rant time! Woot!

SMUGGLING! ARGH!

Pleeeeease tell me that I’m not the only one getting increasingly irritated by this.

Honestly, every single pq is run by smuggling! NO ONE wants to do things the long way! ANYTHING to avoid just a little work. I’m not trying to be a grouchy old man here, but it’s really starting to irk me now. read more

Typing on a Mac laptop is pretty awkward. Or I’m just not that used to it. In any case…

I’VE MET MY NOOB OF THE MONTH! No screenshots, so the convo went something like this:

Me: *Is busy arrow erupting away on zombie mushies and horned mushies for the 999 quest*

OMG! This new patch SUCKS! I SWEAR, Nexon has-

…What? You’ve heard this before? A thousand times? That’s physically imposs- ….okay okay, fine. SKIPPING AHEAD…

Bob the Snail – a staple of Maplestory history. He’s in every version that has Drake’s Meal Table, therefore, he is in EVERY version and has been since the beginning. Unfortunately, the lifestyle of GMS…all glitz and glamour, has tempted Bob through all these years and he has fallen to the self-centered, all-important lifestyle that most celebrities do. An entirely new quest devoted to what was once the quiet, dignified snail that crawled around in Drake’s meal table. To make matters worse, Bob is a fussy one. Indeed, he now considers himself SO important, he will make an appearance ONCE every 12 hours, and ONLY on a certain platform AND ONLY when enough monsters have been cleared. read more

Hey people! Just your friendly neighborhood Scyne here again, to condense his thoughts into one, boring rant. Leave now and I’ll be very angry! Online, I figure that’s about all I can do, so yeah…

Back on topic! Training! In general, it sucks, unless you’re the 1 in a million person that ENJOYS grinding. Sure, there’s occasionally the chatty buddy list, or the pal training with you, but let’s face it. Most of the time, training is boring. Killing the same monster. Thousands of time. With 1-3 different attacks. Using the same animation. Over and over again (unless you’re a warrior. Then you get like…3 attacking animations! BEAUTY!). Yeah, it’s true that in most MMOs in general, it takes a good amount of training to level. A very good amount. However, Maplestory seems to be the worst of its kind. 0.01-0.005% per kill. LUDICROUS, I SAY! BUT NO! It gets worst. You see, in order to actually level well in this bish of a game, you have to find the best monsters packed in the best maps. Yeah. There’s where things gets reaaaal nasty-like. Unfortunately, it’s in these maps that wonderful scenarios like this tend to happen: read more

POP QUIZ

What does Scyne do when he’s reeeeeeal bored on Maple?

QUEST, FOO!

And so I did. Today the lucky place was….*spins Mapleworld globe* Korean Folk Town…crud.

I’d separate each and every quest I did, but I kinda did them all in one big blob. So let’s start from the top!
I’ll insert a few pictures here and there. They’ve been edited just the tiniest bit, but you’ll hardly notice, trust me. read more
