Movie : How to Train Your Dragon 2

Busy busy busy!

Hahahaha. Final exams are just around the corner. Lots to study and lots of things to do. Most of my time are spent on revising but I still do spend some time on other time besides studying. The way I study is kinda weird because I would love to just sit down and study for hours and hours but somehow if I do that, I'll most probably study while playing games on the other hand.

Anyways

How to Train Your Dragon 2!

Somehow, this is the best movie I have seen in the past few weeks. That I know will always be remembered. Even right now, I'm listening to the soundtrack. The soundtracks are way much better then the first part of the movie. The movie itself is also much better then the first part. So overall everything is better, You should go and watch it

 The movie was very nice so I hope most of you can spend a little time off to go see this movie. If you haven't seen the first part, It'll make things nicer if you would watch the first part first. The story doesn't really co-relate but the character does. On how certain things with other stuff

I mean. Look at that!

So much difference when Hiccup is grown up.

Mostly past this point if you haven't seen the first part, How to Train Your Dragon, you most probably won't get the references I'm saying.

I still remember clearly the entire movie. 

Hiccup's voice over is just the best.

The part where Gobber was escorting Hiccup back to his house and Hiccup was complaining that people don't see him just trying the very best to be one of them

"Excuse me barmaid, I'm afraid you have brought me the wrong offspring! I ordered extra large boy with beefy arms, extra guts and glory on the side! This here? This is a talking Fish bone!"

Still makes me laugh xD

Anyways

NOTE

PAST THIS POINT ARE SPOILERS FOR HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2.

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

The movie starts of as usual with the setting of Berk and Hiccup narrating just like the first part.

Instead of some introduction of the island with all the characters that we all know and love. He mostly talks about what they do with the dragons now etc etc. How the village has grown to adept and live with dragons peacefully

Then onwards to the story which is veeeery interesting. 

I don't really have much time so I'll just go straight to the point.
The part of the movie when Toothless actually glowed blue with a higher flame intensity to protect Hiccup raised a very curious question in my mind.
What if, the Night Fury was actually another Alpha species? That had thought to be extinct because of all the dominant battles?
We did see the Alpha species killing the other Alpha species. So what If, WHAT IF
In each and every battle on the Alpha species, the opposing dragon that is losing were actually KILLED.

Then you would say, wouldn't that make Toothless the targeted dragon for all other Alpha species? Like the beginning Big Dragon which I also think is an Alpha Species as all the dragon fear that big thing and even follow its order to attack Berk, the Viking Village to steal food for it to eat regardless they could be killed by the Vikings at that time?
And Toothless, who was still very young at that time with no parents whatsoever, was clueless as what to do, decides to just "go with the flow".
Notice how in the first part, because of how limited the species is, it never shows itself and never steals food.
IT'S SMALL AND DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PROTECT ITSELF?

But being a dragon, they all show most similar characteristics. That's how Hiccup grew closer to dragons, learning their habits, dislikes, Lifestyle.
Leading to the evolution of Vikings to accept dragons into their daily life.

It is also stated in the movie by Hiccup's mother, Valka. That Toothless is about Hiccup's age. That is why they get along very very well. Toothless was just about as young as Hiccup in the first movie. I guess? Because their of the same age?

So with Night Fury being the Alpha species and all, When he challenged the Alpha Ice Breathing Dragon, That was actually his FIRST TIME, So perhaps he didn't knew back in the days he was suppose to FINISSSH HIIMMM~~ Hahaha
Even the other dragons lowered their heads to him, Maybe he was just starting to get into all this alpha game?
The Will of Toothless is also strong as he managed to get control of himself as Hiccup approached him on the baby dragon. His will was strong enough to break free from the Alpha with the help of Hiccup. Something tells me all of this happened because Hiccup injured and found him ._.
If not he would still be somewhere doing what, just shooting blue fireballs off his mouth lol.

I haven't found the book yet as this movie is based of a book.
If i find it, I'm definitely gonna buy the whole trilogy at once XD
Yes, Trilogy, meaning the next movie would most probably be the last 1. Though I wonder when it'll be started and released? o-o

Guess thats it!
Maybe I'll try and find more interesting topics to post about if I have the time which i certainly don't have too much for the next upcoming weeks.

MapleStory Post "Miracle box"

Well, There's nothing much to say about this.

My updates are getting kinda delayed because I don't really post it after I do whatever I do.

I actually did this last week if I'm wrong

I stumbled upon the miracle box in the cash shop. After searching more information about it, I wanted to try and open a few.
Upon opening a Miracle box, you will receive various miracle cubes based on luck.

I would say this is the best way of finding cubes if your just cubing normal rank tier items such as epic or unique to get the stats you want for the time being. You could also use it on rare items though don't get your hopes up on increasing tier :x

Cause I got lots of x2 miracle cubes. So for the amount of cubes your getting for that amount of cash is actually quite worth. Additionally, there is a chance for you to get even better miracle cubes such as listed above. 

Luckily, I managed to get a Golden and Super cube.

Golden Miracle Cubes have better chance of increasing the rank tier of your items. So they say.

I decided to throw the whole lot of cubes onto my new emblem in hopes of getting better potential stats that could help me. Something better then Att +6 and Luk.
In hopes of increasing the tier to epic. Of course in doubts this would happen. Hahha

Well, wasn't quite the stats that I wanted but who could complain on the last miracle cube used. Ignore 15% monster defense is not bad. My range may have dropped but at least I'm doing more damage now.

After cubing, I found the Giant Operator balloon outside. After countless of 9 dmgs, and opening the boxes 1 by 1. I found the 9th Anniversary scroll for accessory and decided to throw on my DR2. Hooray!
All stat +5! :D

Perhaps my next cube would be more towards black cube and more bigger items :x

Am I alone? Or am I just dreaming

Hey guys,

My brain has been spinning around lately. So much things to think about and yet here I am updating my blog. Perhaps this is just the way for me to feel perfectly sane. I almost lost it few months ago and years ago but something always tend to bring me back.

Its like a small switch that I prefer to press and resets off my mind so I can begin peacefully again

But nowadays the reset button is getting harder and harder to push. Each press is starting cost more and more....

Or maybe I'm just meant to be who I am?

Let my problems define what I should really know. My weakness. My strength. And know when I should probably march into victory, or hand over the leadership to another person.

I think I'm just hurting myself because I tend to do things that I know will hurt me later on. Somehow I just can't do that.

Maybe let's say I want to get close to my class mates and even be close friends. It just doesn't happen like that. Sure I can be your friend and class mate but it won't be the same if you have someone that is really close to you spending most of their time hanging out with you.

This is the one thing I really miss most when I was back doing my A lvls.

But look at me now. Barely holding on to the strings of the class. Only to be passed down a rope whenever an assignment or assessment is handed down. When students are grouped together and forced to work together. Once the work is over, the group disbands and studies go on.

Friends were much more considerate back then. I can't really complain and who am I to talk alot? We're not even on the same age, timeline. Of course we should be different? Yes?

I don't think so. I want to make this work so badly but I keep getting a big no-no to my face. Regardless being talked and advised by the lecturer themselves. They still end up doing the same thing over and over again. If the lecturers can't do anything, what can I do?...

Nothing.

Nothing At All.

I would have to continue this without social contact and only during grouping I would be myself again. Other times, No matter how you see me, No matter how brightly I smile.

I just wanna cry over and over again.

I find that I can simply understand people more then people can understand me. Or am I just too ignorant to acknowledge those who really know me?

I'm seriously having some problem with my head thinking about it. Or I should just stop brain dead thinking and never ever think about it again, ignoring all problems?

MapleStory Post "Adventurer's Quest"

Get ready for most longest post I have ever done. I think xD

Now I'm sure most of you have already done this since everyone wanted the emblem at the end of the chain quest. I was more interested in the story line of how the adventurers were a part of the whole black mage thingy. Of course, I wanted the emblem too. Don't get me wrong. The story was the part that interest me the most. 

So you start off with a light bulb on your head.

From Cassandra!

 She tells you some stuff about Maple and crap.
I apologize before hand because I completed the quest like over a month ago but I was kinda busy the post kept delaying till now. I remember some stuff but hopefully all of them are accurate :x
Back to the point lol
Cassandra gives you a MapleStory Adventurer's Book which I think for each job the book differs in colour and shape. So warrior, magician, archer, and pirate would get different books then mine.

So you start off with a blank book with a Maple Leaf.
Most of the quest starts from the initiation from the book. So if your kinda blur what to do next, always refer back to the Adventurer book.

I'll talk more about the story line in another post perhaps when I have the time. For now its mostly some pictures about the whole journey itself

So I was also told that the NPC or other adventurers you meet differs from job depending on what job you are. I'm a Shadower (Thief) so the other 4 NPC you meet will be the other remaining 4 jobs of MapleStory. Of course since this is Adventurer's Quest.
There are some parts of the Story that really made me laugh xD

So it comes to one part of the Quest where you actually find the sealed Black Mage
Even the door looks exactly the same as you entered as Demon Slayer/Demon Avenger opening where you stand off against Arkarium at the door and soon later confront the Black Mage himself only to be defeated in vain and losing your powers (as usualy, if not you'll start off as lv 200 lol)
I also heard through 1 of the hero's story quest where the heroes only managed to succeed in sealing the Black Mage as he was actually weakened by Demon Slayer himself. Poor Demon didn't get credit xD

True enough you see him in the same throne. Exactly the same as the beginning of Luminous Hero, If you have started a Luminous yourself. He was the last hero to be released. So when you start, you actually get to see each and every hero in the attempts to seal the Black Mage. I did create every single character but I'm not sure how the story is. I'll try to remember :x
Aran - Aran held off the mobs entering the Time Temple to ensure no other disturbance would interfere the other heroes when they attempt to seal the Black Mage
Phantom - I'm kinda blur what he did during the entire thing ._. He left for Erev to protect Aria? Only to fail? And steal the Cygnus Gem to protect it until the next successor came? But I know he was also frozen, making it only a beginning lvl phantom when you started. I'm not sure haha
Evan and Mercedes - They were heavily injured upon you entering the Black Mage's Throne. Mercedes was out cold and Afrien (if you know the story of Evan) guide you on the steps to seal the Black Mage
Demon Slayer - He was there too, unconscious. Makes sense as he was also rebelling against him

And The Final Hero Luminous!
Who managed to seal the Black Mage himself at the cost of darkness consuming him as well. Thats why he has a Dark and Light side. The Light originally from him and Dark which came from the Black Mage himself.
Well enough about the Hero's stuff.

Upon entering, you realised that 1 of the seal stone was broken and the seal was becoming weaker. You progress through the story to find another Seal Stone to strengthen back the seal.
Sadly, your attempt to strengthen the seal was futile as the Black Mage himself woke up, intimidating you, as he unleashed his powers and broke the seal that took the 5 heroes + Demon Slayer (let's not forget him shall we lol).

He talks about the whole Maple World shall pay and leaved the place

Only to find out.....

That the Black Mage struck Maple Island. The beginning of all Adventurers.
I was a bit surprised about the new Maple Island layout only to be answered when I started my own Adventurer later on due to the extra character slot expansion xD

So the whole attack on Maple Island was to scare off beginners that will advance to specific jobs that are against the Black Mage. His attempting to destroy the source of Adventurers POWAAAAA.

So they split up to find the 5 heroes once again as somehow they knew they were back in the Maple World training and preparing for the upcoming fight against the Black Mage again (somehow sounds familiar)
They split up according to their classes but since there was no Pirate Hero back in the day, the NPC pirate job said he would search for Luminous instead.
Thief class would obviously look for the Great Phantom thief.

And what better place to start then the place he had a crush on Aria XD

So you do something ridiculous and set a banner on a bridge nearby Empress Cygnus resting place in hopes to find the great Phantom which soars in the sky with his almighty ship.
Sure enough he shows himself

Talks a bit.

Steals your skills F3
Then says you have to rebuild Maple Island on your own since the only 1 that knows how to operate the Seal Stone is Afriend, and he is long goneeeeeeeee.

So you head back to Maple Island to tell the other adventurers of what you heard. As usually, they say to never give up. Who needs the Seal Stone when we can help Maple Island by ourself?
As you start by helping the village, putting out the fire, taking care of the Maple Tree. Ironically, where you start as you create a new Adventurer (lol)

As you head back to help the other adventurers, you heard a cry

It was a part of the Black Mage! :O
The NPC expressions are funny though.
Anyways, they say that your attacks don't do any effect on it.
As they move you to another map, All your hits do only 1 dmg to it. They say you can't kill it so after 30 seconds, you'll be automatically moved to another cutscene. Since I had Shadow Partner + Carnival Edge (16 hits) His life was half by the time the timer ran out. Hahaha

Seem Familiar?

Maple Warrior!

It is shown that it did a "Maple Warrior buff" to you.
The other NPC also attempted to buff you by showing off their animated buffs like Sharp Eyes for Bowmaster, Speed Infusion for Viper, Combat Order? I think? for Paladin and Meditation from the Magician.
Then, It's the Final Showdown!
Funny how it died with 1 Assassinate. lol

It was stated she was the spirit of Maple Island and thats how you get the skill Maple Warrior.
True enough she appears behind you when you use the skill

And your United Strength had miraculously had created another Seal Stone that would Maple Island the way it was.

Its a Seal Stone Of Maple Island! :O

One Click and Maple Island is back to usual. Hahaha
It also appears that Sunny was the spirit of the Maple Island thats how she called the other adventurers to help. There was also 1 point of the Quest where she would care more for the Maple Tree that her own self.
That Concludes the Quest!
Yeah, Its kinda short when you can fly everywhere and complete it within hours

You can find Sunny by the Maple Tree after you finish the quest.
Side Note, If you start a new Adventurer, You'll also see Sunny by the Maple Tree as well. Only this time, She doesn't talk to you and runs away xD

It's been what you have been waiting for....
Gold Maple Leaf Emblem!
Whoots!

Potential!

Stamp! hahaha. I gotten the stamp from the fragments of Red Cube which I used earlier on and the stats on my equipment on the earlier post. The stats were actually not bad for a first reveal. It actually help my range without me spending on any cubes for a start.
Though I wonder when and will I cube this emblem D:
It's gonna make me start spending more on cubes.... AGAIN

Well!
I guess this is all for me about the quest overall. Though some parts are quite funny, It was ok I guess. They should have made a classical cut scene where you try and attempt to fight the Black Mage after he was released only to fail very horribly and wake up in Kerning City Hospital (HAHAHAHA) being rescued by Kao ( if you know what I mean)
That would really bring a whole new twist to the story and really interest me more to the quest.

If I have time, I'll try and update again on another part of the Adventurer Book.
That is, if I have time. There's so much work to do :x
