All's well ends well

So the year 2007 came, struck me like a friking raging train, carried on dragging me several miles under its undercarriage, leaving me decapitated and senseless; it seems that it has finally been moving on, without my battered body (well maybe with a limb or 2)

So i picked myself up, brushed away the dust on whats left of my shoulder and exclaimed... IM STILL ALIVE U BITCH, TRY BETTER NEXT TIME

It has truly been a really nasty experience.
And I don't mean all the physical damage one had to endure as an Infantry man.
Thats really nothing(save a few, ok alot, of cursing and swearing), coz at the end of the day, well, theres an end of the day.

Rather it was the small defeats that added up. Then they multiplied... Then you minus away all the planning you thought you had settled, you were convinced that each scenario was complemented by a contingency plan, which kinda canceled each other out as you went by. And then you become divided, you start to think hey maybe i can do this instead or hey that looks promising.

And then you end up with the equation. YOU ARE STILL ONE CONFUSED FUCKER

Coz nothing works out! not the uni application, not the wisdom tooth extraction that you had to pay for, not the job applications that you made. Hell! Not even the game that you held so much anticipation for.

NOTHING WORKS OUT!
At the end of this day, you'll be convinced that you yes you are a bum. Not even an ORD could perk you up. You become numb, and you start to lose sight of who you are.

Then at the rock bottom of this pathetic person's "life chart", through all the liquid hot magma, a person digs in and pulls you out. Unafraid of the scorching heat, unafraid of losing limbs or being ridiculed.

So now you are back on your feet. Reborn-ed.
You are ready.

I have returned.

Hella: Longwait

Sorely disappointed by a local setup's effort on the game Hellgate: London...

lets do a list!

they started off on the right foot in HGL, with a forum and kickass trailers and stuff

then....

BAMM

NO.1

Screwed up the pre orders
by not being able to confirm that pre orderees will receive their orders on the 1st day
I MEAN CMON ITS A PRE ORDER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

NO.2
People log onto their server, they cant log out, they crash out.
we realised we are playing a build closer to the beta build then a full retail build coz of the lack of patch0

WOOPEEE
best of all we're all capped at level 22
YES!

NO.3

Great, so a maintenance is scheduled, not patch0, just a level cap raise
it came and went. "It was a success!!! but nothing was done, thank you!"
then another maintenance the next day,

finally something right, or maybe not
people with excess exp realised their chars leveled up with NO skill points
kudos to that

NO.4
THE FRIKIN SERVER CRASHES, ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY EVENING
i cant even imagine the level of negligence, if youre not even capable of providing the very BASICS of your services.

NO.5

The historical server wipe. Or simply known as "The Wipe"
They have decided to wipe the servers to implement patch 0 as the last resort.
Fine by me... fvcked by the others.
and when it was time to implement.....

NO.6
THEY FRIKIN POSTPONE THE WIPE?!?!?!

all these time if youre observant enough, you'll have realised. Realised that their techies arent working on weekends. Not the critical 1st weekend when everyone is jumping on the ship, no....
Not the critical 2nd weekend when people are jumping OFF their sinking ship with the wipe
Even army boys have weekend duty on a rotational basis.
You should too.

I'm amazed truly, that Murphy's Law should apply itself so... harshly on each and every action you take.
Please anticipate screw ups, and work against them, do not accept complacency.
