Handing over
I've been meaning to write this. As of last month I would consider myself have handed over the role of helping the community for round1 Blazblue Singapore.
Honestly I didn't think highly of what I did for the community. I grew up with low self-esteem and it didn't really go away. I probably got over that by not reminding myself how poorly I handle certain things aka not crying over spilled milk.
The last few months tiredness from work has really creep in and its slowly taking a toll plus not only affecting my health also affecting my general mood. Now I am even more cranky with the fact that I can't go on vacation anytime soon.
With that I realise I have done next to nothing for the community. I stepped down from active role from the community I can't remember like at least 4 months ago. I do want to at least do a Blazblue CS tournament for the folks.
Then for me the best thing happened, Farp informed me that Pablo is asking if he can take over doing the tournament. Well honestly this was the best for the community since first I wasn't very productive myself and I have personally have not been playing the game alot (not to mention my piss poor standard at playing the game now) and secondly the fact I strongly believe that I did a pissed poor job at it.
For me at this point I realise I should be teaching more folks how to run tournaments. I taught the folks who are running the Tatsunoko vs Capcom what they did need for video recording and live streaming. Akane taught about bracketing / seeding and the software available for Tournaments.
I don't think I should say I am relieve more I should be saying that the community is relieve that someone that has more energy and potential is taking over the active role of promoting Blazblue which I believe can be the third if not the second largest active fighting game community aside from Street Fighter 4.
I have no regrets handing over because I realize I am no longer able to contribute the amount of energy, time and effort into assisting the community. Again I wish all the best to the new folks taking up the job. I still be around if you need to ask questions (thought I believe you guys won't really need that).
P.S. Growing old sucks. I'm balding really quick.

Out of time?
Thought I write something since I finally get a longer weekend and not doing Thor's Hammer this week.
Well currently its Sunday evening already. I was playing Dragon Quest 9 abit. Strangely addictive. I guess I haven't played a traditional turn based dungeon crawler for a while already. This morning I actually had to head back to office to finish up some stuff since there are stuff that are unfinished. Not exactly having the best of luck when somebody iMac broke down right on a Friday evening.
Anyways SBO for Singapore is over and I'm was somehow caught up with doing some stuff for it. Pablo was there early part when we were setting up. I do have to show him more stuff about video next time for the Blazblue tournament coming in August.
Talking about that I got some special guests next Thor's Hammer and there be a some stuff about the new downloadable character Makoto Nanaya aka squirrel girl. Short take of her is that she is definitely not a beginners' characters. The fact that her combos need to be timed is not going to be newbie friendly. Having said that she has one of the most damage BnB combos outside Litchi (Litchi is just plain broke so she doesn't really count).
Just yesterday had a gathering at Sugar's place. Usually we do this like once in 2 months. Sugar's place probably the only place I know that has space for so many people. I tihnk we had like 15 people. I didn't count so somebody on facebook has to correct me on this. During the gathering I'm surprised that some of the folks doesn't understand some of the terms or techniques used by top players to ensure combos don't drop and how godly Sako (One of the top players in Japan) doesn't use tricks like double tapping to do 1 frame link combos.
Here's 2 videos.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVmo0_5bByo
The first one is Sako's Cammy versus Mago's Feilong. Less than 20 seconds in the match Sako already scores 2 different 1 frame link combos. And checking his inputs he doesn't exactly "mash" or piano his inputs. Its just really well time inputs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzuBGS7U35Q
The second one is an old video of Sako's play for Vampire Savior. Not too long from the start of the second match. He almost finished Bulleta's infinite. Also the start of that infinite is his forward forward jab. Again that's like 1 frame links in between and he does 5 in a row.
I thought I wanted to write that out since people missed it during the gathering also for Hannybal the beat'em up I was talking about is this game > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Pilgrim_vs._the_World:_The_Game
The release as written on the wiki is 10th August on PSN and 25th August XBLA.
I thought I close this one with the fact I cannot go for vacation until November this year the earliest which I told my boss I rather go in January 2011 because plane tickets are through the roof in December. With that I bought my new laptop first instead. A photo of it and P.S. the videos I took yesterday I will pass to you guys soon.
