badumsch. (thats the sound of free speach getting thrown into a drumkit)
yarr, since ye not be knowin' me name, i could be talking about anything i want here, about our teachers and such, and unless someone were to dob me in, i would be ENTIRELY and UTTERLY safe.
but i thought i'd be a nice guy and not insult the teachers anyway.
although i love the image of a heap of teachers huddled around a computer screen reading student's blogs.
i'm writing this late at night so chances are i'll miss out on a few of the points i'm trying to make, i trust you can fill in any gaps.
so, isn't it a bit ironic that by criticising the school, your "punishment" is not to go to school? doesn't that seem a wee bit odd.
the punishment given out is stupid considering the crime, hitting someone so that they lose their hearing for a day doesn't get given a suspension, whereas a few comments on a webblog do? WTF!? (the F in that phrase meaning fish, so as not to offend) bullying, harrasment, and i mean ACTUAL bullying and harrassment hardly ever get a suspension.
our school, which, for the sake of not treading on someone's toes / hooves / various walking anatomy, will remained unnamed, anyway, our school has a tradition of criticism of society and of the school itself, its practically part of the school spirit / angel / other ethereal creature. excuse me, Frau M. (the first initial being used only, so as to hide the identity of said person from anyone who doesn't know who i'm talking about, its also part german, so all the people of the average internet IQ won't have a clue what it means, not that german is a particularly hard language, or that i'm necessarily saying all people on the internet are idiots, so as to avoid litigation and the like.) but you have to get used to the schools tradition, we do NOT want to be treated like private school students, we do NOT want stupidly strict uniform laws, and we do NOT want to have to put up with the STUPIDITY (suspend me, go on, i can't work my way out of THAT one can i?) of these draconian laws curbing our voice and our expression.
maybe if the same time and effort spent surfing through livejournal looking for where students slip up or criticise their teachers or their peers, were applied to something more practical and educational, we wouldn't HAVE to criticise, because there wouldn't be anything TO criticise.
i can't help but think that the actions and thoughts of the adult community are shaped by current affairs programs and talkback radio, the MEDIA, one of the things this school has always been against is the mainstream, telling us to be creative, telling us to MAKE OUR OWN DESTINY, so much for that, you know what is currently all the rage in the media? INTERNET BULLYING AND MOBILE PHONE USE IN SCHOOLS.
how do you teach us to be leaders, when our teachers are sheep? thank goodness for those who retain their sanity and are still individual and free thinking, not putting up strictly with the control of this little power heirarchy we have going on here, once frau M has finished her power trip, then we can get down to the real work, LEARNING.
that is all, suspend me if u will, if you feel it necessary ask for mechanochicken to come to the office and i will come, the only thing a suspension is going to allow me to do is start catching up on the work i plan on doing over the holidays.
*bites thumb at thee*

damn, its times like today i wish i were doing VA and not frikkin tech drawing, its so BORING, if anyone is doing VA, then please tell me it sucks, for my sanity.
and then give me all ur notes and work, cos i can use any help i could get.
science test tommorow, its too hot to study, its too hot to sleep, its too hot to put up with julia coming in every ad break and telling me about thank god you're here, too hot to waste endless amounts of time trying to decipher what sinead sais on MSN, thats why its off, too hot concentrate.
i'm not even sure if its the heat thats annoying, cos it can get a LOT higher, i think its how frikkin stuffy it is up here, gonna go open a window or 2.
ah, already a bit better, i still don't want to study though, just wanna draw, a lot, but i can't get the damn faces right, i should probably draw more actual people, but i suck at drawing and i wouldn't want them seeing it, so i don't.
gough wants to start this comic thing but i honestly don't think either of us are really good enough to be starting one, and its even harder cos apparently we're both gonna be sharing the drawing and writing, and, believe it or not, we've got completely different styles for each.
and pics aren't scanning right, not that they ever have, ... crap.
anyway, thats all, can't think of much else, too damn tired.

6:39 pm - blame it on the heat
|
damn its hot at the moment, i'm not even wearing my jacket anymore, except around my head today, as a bandana, cos it was
INTERNATIONAL SPEAK LIKE A PIRATE DAY!!!
but no-one co-operated, sorta sad really, a few people did, but i think everyone was either too hot or too inverted (i can't think of that actual word, my brain is fried) oh, INTROVERTED, thats the word.
anyway, was fun, i managed to keep the pirate accent up for most of the day, but by sport it started to hurt, a lot, and after that i couldn't really muster up the accent again, should be O.K by friday i hope, cos thats "Australian speak like a pirate day"
did u know that 36 degrees celcius is the perfect temperature for annoyance, crime, violence and riots? its the point where we're uncomfortable, irritated, hot and sweaty, but not hot enough to make us stay indoors. i think it was 36 degrees anyway, amazing how trivia sorta sticks in your brain like that.
anyway, drawing is coming along, i'm getting criticised by gough for being too realistic and not drawing manga, i criticise him for drawing manga before he gets good at drawing realistic. so i'm studying both :P.
KAIZOKU!
oh, and the german word for shark is the same as the japanese word for yes, i.e hai, except they sometimes add fish to it the end, hence "haifish" so somehow we're now calling sharks yesfish, way to mutilate 3 languages at once.
that is all

ok, to avoid studying for the salem test tommorow i figure i'll rant.
topic of the day : Music.
ok.
*Australian idol sucks
*for that matter, Idol sucks no matter what country its from, i mean, what is it, a bunch of no-hopers with the occasional half decent singer who get, as the title implies, idolised, though they suck at singing and will have no career due to their being stuck in the contract of the century their fame comes purely from being on a TV show, under contract. "he who lives by the contract, gets screwed by the contract".
*Pop music tends to suck, how the hell does it become popular?
*Nothing is original anymore, everyones just copying old stuff and passing it off as their own, not even saying "this is a remix of so and so" but just claiming it to be their own.
*that song "i wish i was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair" is no.1, its also a bunch of bullshit and cliches that don't even make sense strung together with a girl who can't sing and half decent backing, punk rockers wouldn't be seen DEAD with flowers in their hair, it was more a case of gel / dye / urine there, no, i don't see a mention of flowers in that little summary, stop making shit up and write us some decent music damnit.
*Bands take themselves too seriously these days, what ever happened to bands like "mental as anything"? everyones so busy trying to seem hardcore that they can't even make decent music, lighten up you arrogant prics, your not as good as you think you are, and your definately not as good as nearly all of the old-school stuff, just, stfu, please.
*iPods, the apple way of cashing in on the music franchise, 9 times out of 10 i want to stab anyone wearing them and being utterly ignorant of the outside world, lost in their own little loops of pop music CRAP and succombing to yet another brandname.
thats all, didn't check to see what i said i was gonna rant about, but meh, this is what u get, oh, and theres a deep message for one or two people hidden in there if u look really close.
have a nice day.

what is there to say?
trig test sucked majorly and i have to study trig more cos its one of the FEW things in maths i find interesting and potentially useful, had a complete mental blank halfway through that.
my drawing skillzz are improving a lot, huzzah for me.
which brings me to the subject of gough and my / EVERYONE's internet comic, although it seems to be becoming primarily gough's... i already feel a bit like largo.
my two armys of dwarf / socialist alien leetness are coming along slowly, gonna try and finish both before the holidays, (for those who don't play warhammer, u won't understand what a monumental task getting two armys done in just over 2 weeks)
on another warhammer subject, struck a deal and i'm getting my spider riders back from mr "take advantage of indecisiveness by harrasing for an hour" guy who bought them off me.
i sorted out my folder of black-wholeish DEATH, and discovered that, actually, i DO have a heck of a lot of homework to do, most will NOT be finished before the holidays, and i get the feeling the holidays aren't going to be that much different from school.
thats all for now, consider this ur update, got stuff to rant about tommorow, its to do with humor, stay tuned.

12:40 am - Got Psychophobia?
|
ok, well, its 12:13am, its sunday, so technically its my sabbath day, but i'm gonna have to work, cos otherwise Hannahs gonna rip my head off with something sharp and probably pointy, and i'll be celebrating the sabbath no more, cos its hard to celebrate without a head.
so, today i went to a naturopath, which i thought would involve people who would be better off with the prefix that starts with psy and ends with cho. but it wasn't, just a questionaire, an iridoligy thingo, a few prescriptions and such, anyway, was fine, well, when i'm sitting in the waiting room waiting (go figure) for the students (yeah, did i mention their students?) to talk to their supervisors i was reading this naturopathical magasine, and it had this guy talking with another guy, who was saying that humans are beings of pure creation, playing the game of being human, placing physical restrictions on ourselves, our bodies and environments, so that we can play this game, and he said about how most people were living in phase 1 of this game, just playing the game for what its worth, being human, and thats perfectly good and fine, but there is a phase 2, and that is where we recognise that we are capable of more, that the physical boundarys around us are not entirely real, and that we can do anything we want, as long as we honestly believe we can.
what was also odd is that i realised that this stuff was written in the bible, that it says the same thing about belief.
anyway, for all of u people who have stopped reading due to religious content, Pratchett also sais it, but its to do with flying rocks, so its not ENTIRELY relevant.
thought about this a bit, and figured, The soul is what we are, what we REALLY are, the mind is how our soul controls our body, and our body is what we use in this world.
another of these things, about a year ago i wrote on my whiteboard thing, everything has a cause, everything followed something, and when u find that there are no more causes, where something is caused by "nothing" here you will find the work of god.

7:26 pm - LEGACY BADGE DAY! GOUGH'S BIRTHDAY PARTY DAY!
|
Today was, in a word, awesome.
got a ride to central, took the train from there to wynyard, was amused at how serious everyone is on city trains, got off, ran into daniel and assorted asian gangsters sent back to school for wrong clothes and he said i had to go back to school cos of my shoes, of course i reckoned he was joking, laughed, said "bull" and walked out the exit, onto the wrong st, i.e george st, found rebecca slater and alice, luckily alice knew where the hell we were and got us to the AWA building, went upstairs, gough ninjaed me cos i was late, went to the desk to get nametag, and wham, get told i'm going back to school cos my shoes weren't black. so was Reza, stood around a while while they were going to ring the school, when i come up with a brilliant plan, i'll spray paint my shoes black. i asked reza if he wants to do it and he laughs and says sure, crazy, but why not. i asked ms fluitsma if we could go for 5 minutes and we'd come back with black shoes, gough, koneko and kai ask us what we're doing so i tell them, and they crack up at the idea (i thought it was funny, but not THAT funny) so we go running down the street to tin soldier, it was closed, go running around, into clarence st, Games workshop is closed too, for another hour, so walking along, we go for the last store i knew, an arts shop, it was OPEN.
so we walk in, i shout "victory!" as we come in the door, which got the store keepers's attention well enough, i say "high, could we please buy some spray paint?" "what for?" "spray painting our shoes black so we can stay in the city by adhering to the school's dress code" the lady behind the counter laughs, and the girl who was standing on this side of the counter takes us round and shows us paint, finds the sort of stuff we'd want to use for painting fabric, we take it to the counter, the lady laughs again, the can has one of those lids ur meant to use a screwdriver in, no screwdrivers, so the store girl gives me some scizzors and i put them in wrong, tap the top of the can (on the inside of the cap) and spray all over my hand and inside the can so it dribbles down the side, we clean that up, the older lady says to give it to her, u have to twist it off, that doesn't work either, so the store girl has a go with the scizzors and gets it off, alls good. they ask where we're gonna do it, say just out on the street, so they give us a big cardboard box to do it in, we pay the 7.50 and thank them muchly for giving it to us even though they're not meant to sell spray paint to under-18s.
ok, we go up york st again, find a nice little aleyway, i paint my shoes, i paint reza's shoes, i do another coat on mine to make them look better and more even and we run back to the AWA, get there, wash our hands a bit, i get two messages from gough compaining about us not being there so we go upstairs, gough and everyones amazed that we actually did it, we go up to ms fluitsma i ask her if i can have my card now, and we show her our shoes, she laughs and says "how can i not let u now" laughs some more, and tells us to wait cos she wants to show the other teacher, anyway, much talking, much disbelief, much amazement that we were actually cool / leet / crazy / stupid enough to spray paint our shoes, Chandi asked if i could spray paint hers too so she wouldn't have to leave her friends, so i did, hers were easy, and i reckon they looked better painted black, most of it was black anyway, we go back in, get our cards, and set off in a group of 3, gough, reza and I.
gough was carrying the tray, i took the bumbag and reza just walked along, much craziness ensued from here and we walked up the streets over to the high court, i tried to get us all to make a jingle, gough came up with the spanish flee tune and i started putting words to it, but reza chickened out. i think i was still high on the aerosol fumes, so kept ambushing people and asking crazy stuff, also asked a few people in cars. high justice place was good, went back to AWA, the shoe spraying story had spread and a heap of people asked if it was true, and then said it was cool / leet / crazy / stupid (mainly the last two) we had made about 150+ that run, second run we made like 230+, and third run we made about 50, we hoped we'd see justice michael kirby at the high court, cos he woulda bought 50 badges and such just because we were fortians, anyway, during the first one i grabbed a heap of badges and went around so we got a lot better coverage, but people would keep coming into our area and stealing business, max walden and someone especially.
anyway, badge selling was tiring, very tiring, and was happy to get back, near the end i bought a blue badge cos they looked cool, anyway, gough left, so i talked with xiao di and koneko mainly, hannah got pissed off (although i think she was already pissed) about how i was going to gough's party rather than go and work on geo assignment, and how i hadn't told her (which i had, and i assumed she was going anyway) but meh, geo could wait, gough's party came first.
so i left with xiao di, rang gough to find out where istar was, also got directions from reza, and we walked over to there, damn was istar fun, heap of fortians were there, xiao di had to leave after about an hour, and gough's brother arrived, Counter strike, warcraft, Unreal Tournament, all sortsa stuff, was great, cake was good, ate lotsa chips, it was great. however, i overspent on time, so was short by about 6 dollars (which i later found was only 3, cos there was more hiding in my pocket's pocket, but anyway, i meant to call my mum but i couldn't leave without paying unless i left something of worth till i came back, and the only thing i had of worth was my phone, so, hehe, u can see how that didn't work. so i sat around with gough and reg, we talked, about world domination, video games, and how i accidently put a megatokyo reference in my talking, until their mum arrived, she kindly paid the rest of the money i owed, we got upstairs and i rang my mum, all was good, then we walked to their house, and talk was funny, lots of puns, weirdness and random accidental megatokyo quoting, got to their house, reg ran off to get food and stuff, their house is so cool, theres a whole WALL full of photos, and lego and such is all around the place. I tripped over the internet telephone cord, pulled it out a bit, gough said that it was a lot longer across the floor cos i pulled it out, so i asked if it made his internet connection take longer, oh dear...
anyway, mum arrived and carted me off, said she was going to dinner with a friend, so i teased her about john, and talked about spray painting shoes and day and things, said goodbye to everyone, got driven home, and now i'm here.
wow i'm tired...
a few things i learnt today.
charity work is fun
charity work is tiring
there is a great difference in people's generosity.
people in the city tend not to be very generous.
Law is COOL, i'm actually seriously considering studying it.
a few things thats gonna happen on LJ, i'm making the site public from here on in, and i'm adding any names i can find to friends list, so tell me if theres anyone's accounts i should have.
current mood:  tired

in reply to zac's god bashing, and the way religion seems to be blamed for EVERY intolerance in society.
as a Christian, and a roman catholic, my point of view will be from that background, naturally.
People have bent religion to their own devices over centurys, if zac had been LISTENING in E.History today he would have found that the person who wrote that sex and nudity were sins was one man, a priest, i can't remember his name, but anyway. lets strip the faith back to two things, the two roots of catholicism, the Jewish 10 commandments and the Bible.
10 commandments :
1. Do not worship false idols, or another god.
2. Do not wrongfully use god's name (i.e to commit a crime or make a false oath)
3. Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy. (day of rest, either saturday as with the jewish calendar, or on sunday, which is the catholic sabbath)
4. Honor your father and mother.
5. Do not Murder
6. Do not commit adultery
7. Do not steal.
8. Do not bear false witness. (i.e lie)
9. Do not covet your neighbours wife.
10. Do not covet your neighbours belongings.
they are, essentialy, basic morals, that nearly all people would follow even if there weren't a list of commandments about it.
now, the Bible, the old testament is the basis of the jewish faith, written by a long line of prophets, then there is the new testament, which is the basis of the christian faith, it is written by the apostles of jesus, but especially Luke, John, Mathew and Mark. each of those four wrote about jesus's teaching, from what they could remember. then added onto the 4 main parts are letters from apostles to each other, letters to towns and countries, and the book of revelations written by Peter, which is about the end of the world. there are also apparently other versions written by other apostles, one by an apostle who went into the east and into asia and one by judas, who is named as the betrayer by the other apostles, although neither of these can be proven to be real because of their isolation.
The bible is fairly pure, and has not been too tampered with by people, though some changes happen between translations it is hard to majorly alter the bible because there are so many copies of them that anything changed would stand out.
these two sources are the basis of christian faith, and before you go god-bashing, at least read the bible so u KNOW what ur talking about, it is society that imposes all the laws and regulations, most of them u won't find in the bible, and i can't see anything unfair in the 10 commandments.
thats my religious 2 cents, oh, and if u do happen to read the bible, make sure to read Revelations, cos it mostly involves God, Jesus, and angels kicking ass, and is pretty cool.

8:45 pm - Vocational guidance councillooooooor!
|
ok, since i haven't posted in ages, i thought i would.
lets start this off with some originality.
Today I got: in trouble for a heap of things... most of which weren't my fault.
Today I felt: pain
Today I thought: i should really train more / get fit / actually do more language work.
Today I thank: Isobel, for helping me sort things out, gough, seb seb, cal, for making the day enjoyable.
Today I love: humans, wonderful creatures that we are.
Today I hate: hate is temporary, and i don't hold much atm.
Today I did: play with my 50 cm ruler, pretending it was a tanto / ninja-to and was very irresponsible. also sang random monty python stuff with gough and seb seb, oh, and the friendly stalker.
Today I wanted to: climb up something, rope, wall, whatever.
Today I didn't want to: do ToM with some random annoying yr 7 in the room... so we didn't.
Today I give big shoutouts to: Isobel cos she deserves it more often, Ms fluitsma for not getting xiao di and i in deep, deep shit, and mr sherwin for letting us use k23 and watch the zoolander DVD menu page thing over and over again. such memorable lines as "that ass is so hot right now" and "i think i must be taking crazy pills" and "waa!" (thats the girl getting kicked out of the building backwards, in split screen and rapidly replayed)
anyway, today was good, usual subjects, nothing special, recess was decent, played ACTUNG DIE KURVE! a few times before we got busted, sliced random people with ruler, and generally had fun, when i ended up in german the teacher told us that yr 9 was meeting in the bottom left corner, she even drew a diagram, so when the fire bell went thats where we went to, typical, then WE get roused on cos shes off with another class, and apparently "year 9 is over there, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT BY NOW" anyway, 9o was first to get in alphabetical order (go us) and then when roll had been taken we dispersed again for a while, xiao di ninjad me from behind, invisible knife to my neck and all, which would have got me if not for my garrot guard metal plate (also invisible) and hehe, reflexes ftw, grabbed his arm, span round and stabbed him in the back, which apparently looked really cool cos of jacket.
go figure.
anyway, then was talking about whether it was legal cos in theory he would have stabbed me already, but the garrote guard would surely have deflected the blow. (this is sounding REALLY nerdy, role play ftw) so decided to decide with an invisible air ninja battle, i advanced on him and he says "what are u trying to do?" "make u trip over asia and then stab u" "what?" *trip* "sorry asia" *slice* *stab* *slash* and the battle runs straight into ms fluitsma... who reminded us that we were embarrasing yr 9 and such, and to stop it... so we did.
anyway, so we had a discussion / argument over something which i can't even remember the point of, and now he hates me or something...
anyway, lunch, talked with tom people outside room, which i said was fine for a talking meeting. got key after ages, went in, stayed for like a minute then left cos there really WAS no point of being there (people hate it when i'm right) and then bell rang, took keys to ms eastment, ran into gough at the library, we went up to k23 with the intention of working on the game, didn't happen, instead got to work on making my pirate more piratey and sherwinator comes in and sets up zoolander for the 15 yrs girls soccer, he assured us that zoolander and soccer were linked to justify watching it instead of training.
ok, then it was fencing, where i duelled with lewis who was dressed as demon / satan, hence making me holy paladin type guy.
and he got completely wtfpwnt, 5-0 evil NEVER prevails.
then he lost to clive 5-1, clive was also doing the paladin thing, except he had a cross which made it more authentic.
then after school waited for gough, he didn't turn up so went round the corner and 3 aikido people, him and mr yalichev were looking after a pigeon that wasn't flying and looked like it was poisoned, poor thing, wires doesn't look after pigeons so we found a safe place and left it there in a box, hopefully that'll calm it and it'll get out and go do pidgeony things.
then sparred with clive, which reminded me i should actually catch up with my old karate teacher and train again,
then, i can't remember why or how, but someone said something, both i and either gough or seb seb, think it was seb seb, saw the monty python reference and SOMEHOW managed to absolutely syncronise it, and then spent most of the walk down to the train station with the 4 of us (friendly stalker, seb seb, gough and i) singing.
lastly at newtown as i was sitting at the bus stop i found a caterpiller thing on my bag, wasn't sure what to do with it so i put it on a nearby tree, hope it likes its new home.
oh well, that was my day, here, have linkage to another comic, this ones littlegamers, ph34r t3h cuteness

today, boring, just cleaning up and such, played a bit of BF2, shot a lot of ppl, read the usual online comics, tried to find a certain pvp comic which has a heap of comic characters playing quake, but to no avail.
anyway, sis is trying to learn to draw manga, which she keeps pronouncing magna, and its sorta disturbing, shes going straight off the "about" site, and personaly, i don't think its the right way to go about it, and keep telling her to find a favorite manga THING and then try redrawing it to start off with, instead shes going with the whole "this is how u draw eyes in manga" "these are 8 hairstyles that look mangaish, and step by step on how to draw them" and it looks pretty horrid.
anyway, enough about that, slept in forever, so thats contributing to my lack of things i did today, what it isn't contributing to is my personal hygeine, considering i thought it was too late to be bothered having a shower.
...
too much info right?
...
imo theres not enough really, so anything helps this considerably dead entry...
anyway, time to draw and sleep.
g'night
current mood:  sleepy
current music: the "losing" MEC tune from BF2 is stuck in my head...

ok, considering i haven't actually been able to get near the computer all week since last post, this update is a little late.
anyway, as i said, no computer, cos julias been on non stop for about 72 hours.
wednesday, saw romeo and juliet at the opera house with me mum, julia was still asleep from her all night computer playing, and she wasn't gonna come anyway, meh.
its a bit odd, nonetheless cool, and better than trying to read the damn book constantly, the actual acting going on means even the stuff u wouldn't normally understand u do because of expression and stuff. what they did was make it modern, still talking in the old modern english, but with contemporary clothes and, although i despise the word, twist, to it. anyway, liked that, twas good.
oh, then killed an hour over at the lindt place, best hot chocolate ever, but too much chocolate in general
got home, tried to sleep, couldn't cos of caffeine, so i found myself reading the bible, which i haven't done yet surprisingly, read through Mark and fell asleep.
ok, now, YESTERDAY
got up, decided i was gonna do my school work and study, found julia on the computer and said i needed it, she goes all whiny but eventually sais "in half an hour" go, have shower, decide to play Grandia for 15 mins to fill in time, and before i know it, its 7pm and i'm still playing, damn i love this game, up to the second disc, and way past where i was before on my old 8 yr old version.
realised that, had dinner, played some more, decided to sort out papers for today so i could get history done, and, whaddaya know, i can't find whatever it is i'm meant to be doing for history, or elective history, or something.
meh, drew for a while, finished it off, went to sleep.
Today.
woke up, ninjaed computer, (11 o'clock) caught up on comics, talked with isobel, wrote on this, now i'm gonna get some work done, certainly, surely... bah, probably not, but get points for trying eh?
current mood: discontent
current music: got grandia themes stuck in my head, argh!

Argh! dear Grandia, game of my childhood, what hath they done to thee!?
i, as u already know, am playing through my old, old ps1 game, Grandia. when i was like 5 or 6 i got the ps1 and its one of the first games i borrowed from the video store, week after week of reborrowing, eventually, about 6 months after the ps2 came out, they sold off all their ps1 games and i was lucky enough to grab this wonderful wonderful game. its been buried for years, after not playing my playstation, which is somewhat damaged (hence i am now playing it on our ps2) now, i'm playing it and thinking, they should redo this, with exactly the same storyline, exactly the same dialogue, exactly the same battle system, but redo the graphics, voice-overs, CGI and such, and then i thought "what if they already have?".
so, i did some research and found out there was a whole series of grandia games, Grandia parallel somethingorother (for Gameboy), Grandia II, Grandia Xtreme (which, apparently, sucks) and Grandia III...
u see, theres only one problem with all this, they're not so much sequals as completely different games with the same name and same company making them, and worst of all, apparently they have good graphics, (at least environment wise) but they absolutely killed the storyline, still have shoddy voice overs, and are, in many peoples opinions, inferior to grandia 1 in all aspects barring the graphics.
well, so much for that then :(
