Haven't had enough sleep for the past one week and the main cause of it was........
Gaming.
Two weeks back on a fine Sunday when I went back school to meet up w the bestie and two other group mates, Sandy introduced this game, MStar to us.
It was my first online game ever and the high resolution graphics and animation and thrill from playing it got me hooked up badly.
It is mainly a dance battle and there are many modes of battling so you can experiment w each mode and each mode has different challenges and attraction to offer, there are more than 10 modes and you can play as a team or as an individual so there are different things to expect in each mode.
Other than the playing part you could also dress up your character in pretty clothes, shoes and accessories (if only some of them can be bought and delivered to my house as real apparel I'd be like *go ahead and take my money* TT). In case, you decided to start playing MStar, be sure to choose properly the features, hairstyle, body colour and NAME (I used my real name and I end up getting sec sch and poly ppl coming to 认亲戚 but so far only 2 ppl la heng. and also for safety reasons don't use your real name ba.) cos you cannot change them afterwards unless you pay real cash to do so, which is not worth it la.
You can also couple with other people, join crews and make a lot of friends la, so if you're socially awkward irl you can start to open up and build a network of friends there since you'll be hiding behind the comp screen anyway so you don't really have anything to lose.
So far I've met really nice ppl like my crew mates who have kindly helped me out to finish my quests and they nvr ever blamed me whenever I play badly (i'm a super noob gamer) and I also met a nice dongsaeng who is v talkative but he is still nice to me and a nice couple who treats me well too so overall I feel quite happy playing the game so far. It's like escaping into an entirely different world where I have little or no worries at all. Extremely thankful too that no one have ever called me a noob in the game despite being a really lousy gamer and everyone from real life friends to crew mates to my couple to other friends they've all been really kind and they will cheer me on. I at first thought that there will be a lot of bad ppl who will start to hurl insults when I drag them down in team battles but no leh so far so good. (:
This is the picture I see when I click start MStar and it starts to load to the game. (Haha this is starting to sound like an advertorial for MStar but no, just trying to record down this part of life, getting hooked to an online game.)
This is the shop, haha guess you can read it yourself la huh. This pic features a Korean version of the game but there's an English version too so no worries.
And I just realised that got Big Bang songs from this screenshot?? How come Eng one don't have. TT
This is the customising of your character where it's really impt cos you don't want to regret how your avatar looks like later on and pay real money to make changes! My avatar looks somewhat like that but with diff hair colour and clothes and her lips are pink and her eyebrows are nicer w a more natural nose lol.
You can get your own house too! After reaching lvl 15 if I nvr rmb wrongly and you finish quests!
I just realised that the Korean ver seem to have a lot more than the Eng one. Like more songs and nicer house, I haven't seen someone's house that's like that yet so far leh, all our house like sama sama one. Unless you buy cash la.
The best part of MStar is......
SHINee's the official ambassadors of MStar!!!!!!
Playing MStar can win you a free trip to Taiwan to meet SHINee personally! However, only a few lucky and pro ones can get to win this offer cos you'd have to complete a lot of missions and quests to get your golden ticket. And the deadline was on 21 Aug le sigh. Couldn't have won it cos I dl a few days before 21 Aug.
But still!! You can win real SHINee t-shirts (signed ones some more I think!!!) and even if you can't win the real ones you can let your avatar wear the virtual one and there are also virtual cushions w SHINee's faces printed on it that you can use to decorate your house with. Have already won two of them! And it's 2/3 of my biases, Jonghyun and Key's! hehe extremely protective over the Jonghyun one. Would shoo ppl away if they sit at the Jonghyun one or simply move the cushion away if idk the person. Haha I know la, virtual game only but I don't have it irl righttt.
The virtual SHINee shirt I was talking about! Hehe. There was once when I was at the lounge and everyone started wearing the SHINee shirt. ahhhh.
hehe so shuaii! Esp the one in white standing right smack in the middle. <3
Don't worry I still love GD a lot. <3
3>3>

Heard from other ppl that SHINee themselves are playing the game too! Add me add me! Haha but they're probably on the Korean server so I don't think I'll get a chance to meet them even in the virtual world. ):
Was looking for pics online on saw this! Yay so it's real! SHINee's really playing MStar! (This is Taemin's backview hahaah)
Nah, one more to prove that it's really Taemin! Key playing also! keke ^^
Ahhhhh my ultimate bias in SHINee. WHY SO SHUAI.
Anyway here are two videos, lol got high after seeing all the ambassador pics and realised there are official videos. #superfailfan
Trailer
Behind the scenes
Second video pretty much sums it all for the long word post about what you can expect from MStar w SHINee benefits and you can see a snippet of them playing! Hehe Onew missed. hahaha
Okay that's about it.
I just decided not to leave the virtual world so soon yet. Hehe go have some fun now if you're tempted already! Life's too short to worry about all consequences.
Yes yes I would!!!!! Pick me please!! *puppy eyes*
