family business!

I did something very loser today. While at harmoc lunch today, I was talking to some people, and accidentally knocked my knife. So it dropped onto my lap, and bounced up vertically. Guess what? IT PIERCED THE BASE OF MY THUMB! -_-" How much more loser can i get man. Thank goodness it isn't very deep. Imagine if its a sharper and larger knive, and it sliced off my thumb. Eek.

Anyway after harmoc lunch we went settlers' cafe! and they intro-ed a pretty fun game. It's called family business. So you own a family of 9 mobsters, and you have 5 cards in your hand. Some are contract cards, where you can put other mobsters on the hit list, some are counter cards where you can save whichever mobster you want, some are super powerful cards, like the put two of the hit list, kill 2 every turn,kill all the mobsters on the hit list.  Once there are 6 mobsters in the hit list, the mob war begins, and one mobster dies every turn (unless you have power cards of course)

The fun thing about this game is the alliances and backstabbing that occurs throughout the game! 6 player game right. And its quite tiring if you just keep on targetting ppl without a definite plan. So we started forming alliances! first francis, geoff & i and mj&yt formed an alliance to kill of my, gy and jean&janice. and once only one of the unallied 3 were left, francis and us turned against mj&yt! francis being the instigator. haha. I always wanted to play this kind of game. Cos it's not just your cards that matters, it's what's going on outside the cards too! (if that makes sense). Totally unlike other games, where alliances aren't really possible, and you're on your own. You have to be cunning too! the sad thing is that the planning isn't really secret. Actually if there was enough time I wanted to try being a double agent. Haha.

And i found ppl who read death note manga at harmoc lunch too! Yea! someone who agreed with me on the ending of the movie. YAY!

I always felt that in the manga, L's death was super loser. like, just *heart attack* and die. such a worthless death!. I mean, ya la, he was up against a death god, but! he's a genius! He's not supposed to be outwitted so easily. At least, in the movie, He outwitted both the death god and light. One final twist :D He still died, but for something this time! And so Light becomes the sad case now, but SO WHAT! (sorry jean =p)

btw I really love the person who acted as L! so like L! the handphone scene was priceless haha. and the PIG MASK! and the mannerisms are all so L haha. I want to eat like L and not get fat. In the manga, he's 179 cm and 50 kg. I HATE HIM! and misamisa is really pretty in the movie. So much less ditzy compared to the manga (wanted to strangle her in there haha)


Haha. I'll see how long it takes for people to find this, or how long it takes for me to crack and start telling ppl about this. Whichever happens first.

[MANGA SPOILERS] Eh, did you read the manga up till the end? Raito died in the same way; he was played out by Ryuk too. I hate the movie cuz it just shortened the manga into a movie for convenience, leaving characters out along the way. WTH, Takada Kiyomi wasn't even supposed to become Kira. She was in fact manipulated by Raito. [/MANGA SPOILERS]

I don't hate L, it's just that I like Raito more. Movie!L is cuter than Raito though :p And I'm still a Kira supporter even though Raito has a false sense of justice. Heh.

Oh and L wasn't wearing a pig mask. I think it was a traditional Japanese mask. Neither did he outwit the Shinigami; he just made the situation advantageous to him. Amane Misa didn't play a big enough role in the movie, imho.

Oh yeah, and I think the reason why they made L win in the movie (like in my icon 'justice will prevail' was because the manga is darker than the movie, and there prolly have been some people being very vocal about supporting Kira in real life. Since a movie will reach a bigger audience than manga, the production crew prolly felt that they should in fact tilt the balance in L's favour so that the public won't be too enthusiastic about Kira's false sense of justice. The movie sucks, imho. Movie!L's hypotheses are not substantiated unlike in the manga, and Movie!Raito isn't even smart enough to fill the shoes of manga!Raito.
