Calvin is on page 48 of 401 of Utukki: cepet2 berhenti sebelum begadang. researchnya lumayan deh untuk urban fantasi dan romansa. untung gaya bahasanya ga cengeng.

Jadi sekarang ada rencana mainin apa nih setelah Persona 3 Fes?


message 14: by Maya

Maya Mmm, kalo gitu mungkin emang copy-an g yg bermasalah ya.. ntar coba g tukerin aja d


message 13: by Maya

Maya Ngomong2 Calvin, persona 3 fes lo susah ga load-nya?

Klo di PS2 g koq kayanya mo load gamenya tuh susah banget, kadang suka ga kebaca..
Terus klo kebaca nungguin antara screen warna item yg ada tulisan "Playstation 2" sampe ke screen yg warna biru (loading dr memory card)tuh lamaaaaa banget..

Kenapa ya, apa copy-an g yg bermasalah (dvd game g yg lain ga ada masalah) ato emang semua copy-an persona fes kaya gitu??


message 12: by Maya

Maya Oh, g blom main, harus bersabar karena tugas2 masih numpuk *hiks*
Tapi dede g dah main, kemarin g liat sebentar.. Jadi ga sabar pengen cepet2 main juga!! XD

Eniwey nice to "meet" you, I used to thought you're a girl (~_~) in "that" forum


Graeme S. Houston Apa kahbar? (hope I got that right). Nice to meet you too Calvin. I'm also a pretty new author. I just signed my first paperback contract last month, the rest are published electronically, so I don't as yet have anything which is addable to goodreads. Definitely will activate my author profile once my paperback comes out. Congrats on your own success with 'Juxtaposition: Tale of Dead god'. It's nice to meet a fellow new author. Keep in touch. :)


Farida Emang bener anak ITB kok... :) NIMnya 16307051. Emang aku nulis apa di profilku ya? SMA? Berarti belum diupdate...
