Holy Beast Online [Preview]

Introducing to you game of the day, Holy Beast Online (HBO). This game was introduced by my friend on the day we went to Lowyat. Today, I took my time to see how interesting this game is.

Holy Beast Online introduces six types of clan which are: (Taurus, Bird, Dragon, Tiger, Monkey, and Dog). Each clan has their respective classes and different skill attributes which suits different type of game play [!].

The game starts off with a character as a small beast striving through the world of beast fantasy. Players are able to do quest and grind to level up. At most level, there are quests available for players to accomplish. From what I have played, reaching lvl 3, there'll be a quest which allows the character be able to change form to human or beast.

Starting of the game.

Level 1 quest + grinding.

After level 3, transforming from dragon.

Transformed to human.

So far that I played this game. It's kind of challenging in the beginning. Starting off as a beginner will have a hard time to kill higher level mobs given through quests. But, once at level 5, players are able to select a job through respective NPC.

It took me almost 3 hours to reach level 10. This is the one most hardest leveling MMO I ever played.

My rating for this game:
1. Graphic: [4 stars]
---I never seen a game so smooth and no glitches.
2. Performance: [5 stars]
---Normally global server will have certain lags but this game is awesome.
3. Environment: [4 stars]
---Looks kind'a kiddo in away but the BGM suits well.
4. Gameplay: [3 stars]
---Just that if they include the W,A,S,D key for the movement...
5. Quest: [2 stars]
---The description given in the quest is not clear and mobs location should be included. Had a hard time doing the quest at 1st...

My first impression on this game, it has a cute like feature with improved graphic effect compared to Fiesta. BTW, if you are planning to try this game, my tip for you is always check your full map for any quest available.

That's all for the preview.

Crazy Weekend

People tend to say that their dream comes true but I'll say that "My plan comes true". Like said from the previous post during my exam week, I was planning to buy these stuffs. Oh, BTW, 3 out of 4 exam papers were OK except for the last paper, Electrical Principles was too hard but I tried my best!

On Saturday morning 11:00 am, my classmate and I went to Lowyat and had our Japanese lunch there. After that, we went and scout for the casing which I planed to buy. The first shop we went to only sells the full tower HAF model. I thought of getting that. My friend then advised me to scout on other shops and so I agreed. Fortunately, even though it wasn't 1010 that I wanted, as long as its the COSMOS family, I'm happy with the design. It costs me RM845 with more than second thoughts...

Box is COSMOS 1000 though cas they don't have the box for 1100. Difference is, 1100 has transparent cover and 1000 don't have.

Yeah.. power supply which was the main item to buy.

At home, unwrapping the new casing

Replacing my old casing..

TBH, I'm not a clubbing guy. Sometimes when you get draged by friends you tend to be peer pressured and endded up clubbing with them. So, on that Saturday night, I went out with my friends to M.O.S. Well, it was fun that night, releasing all the stress we had for the exam.

M.O.S

Was testing how powerful my K630i camera in dark areas. Not bad eh?!

Chivas and Omega. Photo taken by my friend who followed me to Lowyat.

There he is.... on the left. Me... on the right.
(Who took this photo? "You SUCK la you!"(Fong 2009)) :D

Eventually, it was a great night. After the party, me and other 2 friends stayed up at my place chatting on the happenings we encountered in the club. We ended up sleeping at 6 am though...

On the next morning, we woke up around 10.00 am and I was the last. Both my friends stayed back doing their overdue assignment which Mr. Fong, our Design and Drawing lecturer gave them permission till Monday, tomorrow. BTW, you noticed the sur name Fong right? Me, I spend my day continue to fix up my desktop which I left unfinished last night.

Motherboard, Hard disk, DVD-Rom transplant

WaLLa! Everything works fine until I found out the cover for the casing on the right side in this photo can't be close properly. Neway, I'll fix that later.

I realised that I don't need VGA fan nemore since my graphic card has its own fan. Now left AquaGate.

Conclusion, I spent RM1500 +/- for the weekend... OUCH!

Desktop Upgrade components

So far, it's been 3 weeks I'm using my laptop for the while since the heat at my location here blew up my desktop power supply. Though I'm middle of my exam, I can't have my concentration set for the exam. So, I made a plan to go to Lowyat (store that sells a lot of gadgets in KL) this coming Saturday to scout for few upgrades for my desktop to increase its cooling system.

Since it's about cooling system, best brand to get is Cooler Master...

Browsing through their web site, their design for the desktop casings are pretty cool. There are some which I had saw few eye-catching casings which were sold at Lowyat. One of my selected design will be the COSMOS 1010

Cosmos 1010

I plan to buy this casing mainly because it has 4 2.0USB port.

There might be other few cooling system which I might consider to buy as long as they are under my budget, and yeah ... most important item is the power supply. I've totally forgotten bout it as I'm so indulge into writing this post.

eXtreme Power Plus 650W

Other extra gadgets that come into my considerations are:

Aquagate Max

Cool Viva Pro

If the casing alone can do the cooling job, then Aquagate and Cool Viva won't be needed. This will be my desktop upgrade plan starting from June till 2010 since budget would be a problem to buy all at once.
