Roll 1D20 to strike for 3D6x10 MD

If you didn't understand the title, it probably means you're under 25 years old. Back in the old days, before computer games had VGA graphics and TV was limited to 3 channels, we used to play pen-and-paper RPGs! Robotech was definitely the favourite in my group. Back then, we didn't have money to buy original copies of the books, so we photocopied each others' photocopied books. 

Check it out!
All for under RM200 shipped from eBay. Not in the best of condition, but I can't complain. They're all there!! Except the Macross II stuff.

I foresee myself with the same bunch of great friends, sitting in a kopitiam when we're 80 years old, rolling dice to pass away time. Here's a classic line I remember:

Gamemaster : Invid fires 2 mini-missiles at you
Me: Hmm... my Veritech's speed is higher than the missiles' speed, so I fly full afterburner
Gamemaster : Where can like that one??
Me : Nehh.... see the stats
Gamemaster : Ok, but you're now running low on protoculture... cannot do it anymore
Me : WTF?!

The moon

I was just about to hit the hay last night when I looked outside the window and saw the big bright moon in front of me. It's not full (that being last weekened with the mid-autumn festival), but heck, it was pretty darned big. So I grabbed my Alpha, snapped on the Minolta beercan and shot a few pics. The moon had a weird orange colour that night:


Must be because of the stupid haze. Anyway, messed around with the white balance of my camera and voila! Normal-shade-o-moon:


Cannot beat Loctor's unfortunately =[
