Heh, I never thought about sounding like machine gun fire when I'm angry. But from now on it will be hard to get that image out of my mind. ^^
I ended up with 2 A-Levels, after I failed Maths. I got such low grades, but still managed to get to University, though I only lasted 6 months there. Everything happens for a reason.I also wish I'd spent more time with my selections for A-Levels. I think I'd have ditched Maths and taken English at the very least, possibly something else, other than Physics as well. Still, this is all in the past. I've got the future to think of now and that could be a lot brighter than it was.Yeah, picking maths as one of my major fields hasn't been a smart move. I ended up with english class and german class as my major fields. But on the other hand, there wasn't anything else I was interested in enough to pick it as my major.
I now am in my 7th year at university (6 and a half years to be exact). About time I finish my studies.

To make you feel even slower, I've finished everything for the Manilla Road spinoff so they're all ready to be posted whenever. As for Monday Metal Treasures, only five left and then I'm all sorted for 2011.At least I can come up with some excuses other than being lazy or just slow. Had two projects going in uni that required a lot of my time and one of them is still going. Hopefully I can post the next letter this week end.
Well, lazyness IS also a reason, but not the only one. I'm glad I got around to finish up that newspost.

It's because NTSC runs at 60 Hz and PAL at 50 Hz. So if the conversion is done badly the PAL version will run slower and the image is compressed, leaving us with ugly PAL bars and characters that look quite obese.
Overall, PAL is the better system, though. :/
