Okay, I'll try keep this short, frank, plain, blunt and to the point.

Race wars was tonight. And the entire hopes of the Protoss rested on me!
And then I lost, and there are many excuses I could make like pressure, nerves, zerg imba, and the good old "if only I did this I would have won". But the times for excuses are over. Well played tgun, congrats zerg.

In about 2 weeks on October 15, I'm going to start my HSC exams. These, if you are unfamiliar, are essentially the final high school exams that determine your "ATAR" which is a rank that lets you choose what course and university you go to.
Many people believe that these exams are incredibly important, the summit of 13 years of education, the exams that will determine your career and entire future. I don't think this is the case. Your future is determined by the kind of person you are, not by how well you can do in a set of exams. These exams might slightly shape the future, but nothing more.

Anyway, rants aside, I'm still going to be preparing for these exams seriously, for a variety of small and unimportant reasons. This means that I'm going to stop playing starcraft. When I need to, I'll still play in the Asia SC2 League (and lose embarassingly because of rustiness). But aside from those few games, no more sc2. If you see me online, something is wrong and you should tell me to get off.

My exams finish on November 8. After that, I'm going to have a few months of complete freedom. In other words, a few months of starcraft. Maybe I'll play twice as much as I play now.

But, until then...



I have lots of study to do



Oh and also, I plan to resume coaching after November 8. I think I have the ability to coach, the main problem I found is that I underprepared some of the lessons and they didn't go as well as I would have hoped. A couple of times, I wasn't able to find a practise partners for the student which was pretty bad. But I don't think there will be problems with anything else.

So yeah, I'll be coaching, but I don't want to coach too often as it does take time which I would otherwise be using to get better at the game myself.


Anyway, I leave you guys with a gift. It's a flash game that I made in 2010. It's called The Impossible Game :V6.61b. (6.61b was the version of dota at the time I finished this game)

A few weeks ago I saw one of my friends playing it and I thought "wow, I remember this, this is awesome". So I decided to get my actionscript together and remake the game a bit. And then I remade the game a bit.

Here are some screenshots.


One of the major things I did was adding bonus levels.


These levels are based off my traumatic experiences playing slender. In summary, I play Slender, get 2 pages, get stuck in the bathroom, develop an irrational fear of chairs, quit, and spend 30 mins being embarassed and talking to the live chat.
Unfortunately, you can't read the live chat so everything I say has no context and makes no sense.

And the second time around I learn how to throw rave parties for Slender and get 5 pages and it isn't so bad.

Here is a screenshot of the last bonus level.



So anyway, I hope you're interested in playing it! If you are, here is the download.

There's a readme, a SWF file and a HTML file. If you don't have a flash player, what you can do is:
1. download both the SWF and HTML files
2. open the HTML file to load it in your browser.
Important: Don't use GOM player to open the swf. It's not a good flash player.

If (for some reason) you only want to play the Slender Bonus Levels, click on LOAD and type in "BRAVERY (case sensitive)". It's because you'll need every little bit of bravery you can muster.

If you get stuck, the readme has links to video walkthroughs of both the actual game and the bonus levels. The readme also contains a lot of spoilers so watch out for those.


and... I think that's it. Oh wait, no it isn't. If you play the original game, there's a game timer and a death counter.

Let's have a competition. Whoever can finish the game in the least time gets ... something. I don't know. Free coaching? But what if you're not protoss. Hm... don't worry, we'll figure something out.
So whoever can finish the game in the least time gets something, and it's going to be awesome!
And each death counts as 5 seconds.

Does that make sense? Well, It will make sense when you play. If you wanted to know, I just played through and finished in 471 seconds with 25 deaths. So that's 596 (471 + 25x5) seconds in total. You might have a bit of trouble getting a score like this considering I made the game.


And... I think that is everything. Please play, hope you enjoy it, see you guys November 8.

(actually I'll probably still be lurking around on sc2sea anyway)
