Killed in 8 minutes and 21 seconds. No juice. No bombs. No traps. No flash bombs. Not captured. Just slicing and dicing from start to end.
My very first "Speed Run" video for Monster Hunter. I was inspired when I finally got my Artisan+4 Sharpener+8 charm after countless charm runs. I took the completed set (which was only missing the charm) for a test drive. Target: Naruga.
That very first attempt (which wasn't recorded, but screenshotted, I killed him in 8:19. This one is 2 seconds longer. But with enough luck, you can kill this guy in around 7 minutes. But I didn't wanna go there. He was limping before the 7 minute mark, IIRC.
Thanks to the Armor Tool by crashdriive for helping me create this set.

Resetting Sleep Cycle -- Nifty
Stumbled upon an article. I could definitely use this.

Easy way to reset your sleep cycle: Stop eating
by Will Chen
Not eating for 12-16 hours can help people quickly reset their sleep-wake cycle, according to a new study from the Harvard Medical School. This discovery can drastically improve a person's ability to cope with jet lag or adjust to working late shifts.
Scientists have long known that our circadian rhythm is regulated by our exposure to light. Now they have found a second "food clock" that takes over when we are hungry. This mechanism probably evolved to make sure starving mammals don't go to sleep when they should be foraging for food.
The lead researcher Clifford Saper explains:
The neat thing about this second clock is that it can override the main clock ... and you should just flip into that new time zone in one day.
It usually takes people a week to fully adjust to a new time zone or sleeping schedule. To think that this new "food clock" hack can help you change your internal clock in one day is mind boggling.
How does it work?
Simply stop eating during the 12-16 hour period before you want to be awake. Once you start eating again, your internal clock will be reset as though it is the start of a new day. Your body will consider the time you break your fast as your new "morning."
For example, if you want to start waking up at 2:00 am, you should start fasting between 10:00 am or 2:00 pm the previous day, and don't break your fast until you wake up at 2:00 am. Make sure you eat a nice healthy meal to jumpstart your system.
Another example: If you are travelling from Los Angeles to Tokyo, figure out when breakfast is served in Tokyo, and don't eat for the 12-16 hours before Tokyo's breakfast time.
Why does this work?
Like everything else in our evolutionary history, it has to do with survival:

Like everything else in our evolutionary history, it has to do with survival:
"For a small mammal, finding food on a daily basis is a critical mission. Even a few days of starvation, a common threat in natural environments, may result in death," the study said.
"Hence, it is adaptive for animals to have a secondary "master clock" that can allow the animal to switch its behavioral patterns rapidly after a period of starvation to maximize the opportunity of finding food sources at the same time on following days."
The shift is a survival mechanism in small mammals that forces them to change their sleeping patterns, Fuller suggests. One starvation cycle is enough to override the traditional light-based circadian clock, the study suggests.
"This new timepiece enables animals to switch their sleep and wake schedules in order to maximize their opportunity of finding food."
"A period of fasting with no food at all for about 16 hours is enough to engage this new clock," says Saper.
"So, in this case, simply avoiding any food on the plane, and then eating as soon as you land, should help you to adjust — and avoid some of the uncomfortable feelings of jet lag." CBC (quoting study published in the May 22 issue of Science.
Ad-hoc Party goodness
Played with an old SC2 buddy, which I haven't played SC2 with in a LONG time. Like months lol. Was fun, we were rusty but we got our mojo back somehow, but not 100%. Need to play more Starcraft II goodness. I'm also trying to get my brother to buy a new computer/laptop and get SC2 lol. Don't really wanna pressure him though.
On another note, MHP3rd is getting a little bit too boring again and playing it is quickly becoming a chore. Not cool. So, to solve it, I logged on Japanese Ad-hoc Party and group up! Was fun! Having played FFXI before, I knew some terms to communicate nicely, ^_^;
Speaking of FFXI, I need an MMO as good as that. WoW suck, and FFXIV is broken and I don't feel like levelling again in XI. Why did they have to raise level cap, damnit! Hope they fix XIV soon and release it for PS3.
Also, Diablo 3 needs to come out soon too. Hahaha.
Oh yeah, I found out that there's a WordPress Blackberry app. Actually posting this there. Don't need to sit down on my PC to blog about nonsense. Yay. I'm out!
I think I'm developing sleeping disorder, lol. Trying to fix it by sleeping the same hours each day. ~_~

Starcraft II - Inactivity
So I haven't logged on SC2 in forever. I ran the game and there was like 5+ updates. Then after logging in, Last login December 5, 2010. Hah!
I haven't played with my SC2 buddy too in a long time. I probably suck now, not that I was good in the first place. My work shift suck!

Newegg.ca rocks!
Bought 2 items from Newegg.ca. A HDD that I've always wanted for sooooo long, to bring all my anime and junk in one place instead of 500 DVDs scattered around. And some nice Logitech speakers.
Western Digital Caviar Green WD20EARS 2TB 64MB I got these when it was on sale 2 days ago for $84.99. It seems now it's back to its regular price of $119.99.
Logitech S-220 17 Watts 2.1 Multimedia Speaker System This I got with a coupon code from a newsletter email from Newegg.ca ($7.00 off). $31.99 regular price.
Ordered both at the same time and HDD was delivered the next day. Speakers came in the next day. Too awesome. Newegg is the best. Tigerdirect too. Love em both.
First impression on the items. Awesome. I'm sure they'll last me for a very long time. Transferred some animes on the HDD and watched some for a few hours. No problems. Doesn't even get as hot as my previous WD 250GB 7200RPM HDD. I use a docking station to plug them in on USB2 on my laptop. Speakers are just amazing. I live in an apartment and the bass is adjustable so I could cancel it out completely since I don't want angry neighbors. These can get LOUD!
Overall, very satisfied with the products. 2 of the items that I've been eyeing for so long on sale/coupon? Lucky day it was. 5 stars for Newegg, WD and Logitech!

FFXIII or MHP3rd
My only game for PS3, which I have owned for less than 2 months. And the game for less than a month. LOL. Who buys a PS3 just for Adhoc Party? ME! I think Monster Hunter needs more loving, for now. FFXIII can wait...
On the other hand, I just figured out a kickass set for my Dual Sword usage. I'll reveal it once I get the charm it needs. Which will probably be never... 1/64,000 chance ftl.
