Plants vs. Zombies 2: Results on my devices (UPDATED)

Ugh, another one of those? Well, it is! It's because lately, I have a major update about this game that I played through my devices. You may remember the post that I posted before with the same title that I made back then, now here's an update about this game's results based on my device's enjoyment with this game. Is it way better than before? Let's find out, by reading this below here right now.

1. Asus Zenfone 5 (late usage)

"... Hopefully this device must be last longer and works better than the Advan T1Ci tablet, which was very bad like that device got a lot of virusses."-Original "Plants vs. Zombies 2: results on my devices" post

Well, unfortunately, this device got some problems during operating this game like that old cheap Advan tablet, again. Just let you know, even though you may think it worked properly, it's NOT! Although it was way better than that piece of crap tablet, it did job poorly, which made me want to smash the screen with my bare hands. Just like my old tablet... Just like my old tablet... Typical old Android device that is well-known for performance issues such as it doesn't run this game as it should be. But this one was way less worse than that tablet, but I still hated it. The game ran seamlessly, just like my old tablet. First off, during the Modern Day update (I think), the game just didn't start until I changed this device's language into English. The way how it didn't start was astonishing. Black screen... simple as that, until it shows "PvZ 2 is not responding" message. Not only that problem, there's another one that is my most frustrating problem that I ever seen in every old Android devices, so there's no exception for this game. After few minutes or maybe quarter of an hour of gameplay, the game crashed. But the way how it crashed was pleasant (with typical "Unfortunately" message), unlike my old tablet. There were 3 ways of how this game crashed, so here we go:

Way #1:

A----------------=======-----=========|=|=|=|=|=|=||=||=B

Way #2:

A-----------==========-$|B

Way #3:

A---------------========-----======------------|________B

Note:

A means I launched the game

- means the game works, but bit of slowdown

= means the game just slowed down than -

| only, means the game stops by itself entirely

|= means the game just slowed down than =

||= means the game just slowed down than |=, nearly unplayable

$ means there is a random Google or unknown ad

B means where it crashes

Yeah, how embarrassed it was. It had 3 ways of how this game crashed on this device. Way #1, I didn't know when it happened, maybe in earlier days with it with this game towards to somewhere in 2016. Then, way #2, I guessed it happened in mid of 2017, and finally, way #3, it happened many times lately until I got a way better device than this one. Among 3 of them, way #2 and #3 are my most hateful way of how the game crashed, which made almost want to smash this with the hammer like my old tablet did. But, since I had some logic ways about this game, there is one way to solve those problems, is NOT play this game so often ever again. With my better device that came lately, I did backup several data about this game to play it on my better device, and it's done for this phone for 3 years of service with this game.

2. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1

Now, here's my better device that I mentioned above. It's the same brand, but way better than that, it's Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1! You can guessed it why I bought this and mentioned it here, because I want to play this game even faster than before. Guess what? It runs FAR better than Zenfone 5, which was horrible, but less horrible than that junk tablet.  With my bit of knowledge about the way how I backup the game from my old phone, it turned out just very well. It runs almost good as the champ, which means I can play this game even longer than before with relatively excellent speed like what you play it on many premium devices that do you have, like iPhone. Tiny bit of frame rate issues though, but it doesn't bother me to play this game on this beast. However, it also lags as well, but NOT that bad at all, it only lags on any Endless Zones where are too much zombies like a thousand of them, or most of the session in this game, but again, far less than my old phone was... One more thing, there are some annoying random video ads which caused the game stop responding, but I can solve it by quitting it down as it doesn't crash, and relaunch the game, which is way faster to get it back... So, that's my new device to play this game, and it concluded as my best device to play this game so far... Alright!

Oh, for anybody who interested in my Plants vs. Zombies collection series on my own blogspot here, I finally made another one. Here's one of the new stuffs that I got here, belongs to that:

Guess what it is?

Just like usual, until I have enough stuffs that I got on that, I will eventually post that for you guys, so stay tuned for that, though... So, that's it for this purpose, and enjoy your electric fan and toys, guys!

My budget Plants vs. Zombies toys...

You think the title of this post may refer to one of my Plants vs. Zombies collection in one of the parts that I made... Yes, it is! It refers to this set here that I used to have all of them like this:

The unknown Ancient Egypt figure toy set

Excuse about the poor quality of the picture of this set here... Anyway, I will tell the flashback about this set, because that's what the title of this post refers to those figure toys. So, here's the story about it, and also why most of the figures weren't stay in my collection anymore.

Back in mid-to-late of 2014, during I didn't have any of my actual Plants vs. Zombies toys or collectible stuffs that I own straight after I returned my old's friend's KFC Plants vs. Zombies Cabbage-pult, I decided to buy this set. The reason why I bought this back in the day, because I thought this set impressed me, due to well-known plants like Cabbage-pult and Bloomerang were presented nicely in this set (I know if Bloomerang figure wasn't exist in anywhere else that is official back in those days, other than K'NEX and Jazwares).

I bought this set came from an online local toy community who owned all of those PVC toys, including this one. Came in my mail packed inside a box with the name of the toy community itself, and all of the 10 figures were packed in their transparent bags (which is common for those type of the figures).

So far, this set was only my actual Plants vs. Zombies toys that I owned, until I bought all 4 KFC Plants vs. Zombies 2 directly from KFC. Despite this set combined by those 4 toys, it didn't make any conflicts between two of those Plants vs. Zombies figure toy sets.

This set has been worked out pretty well for me to start my actual Plants vs. Zombies collection, despite they're not good for fanatic collectors like me nowadays. However, in 2015 to now, things getting complex that caused most of the figures in this set were forgotten in their final days of me with those figures. With many greater Plants vs. Zombies figure toys that I got from online shops and such more, I decided to give away most of this figure set. 8 of them I gave them to somebody who also loved Plants vs. Zombies, with my message to them, "Don't let them break", said me to them. So, here are the reason why I gave those figures to themselves based on each figures, which most of them connected to the similar toys that are better than those:

• All 5 mummy zombies: I personally don't like them, despite there are no replacements of all of those zombies. One of the zombie figures has a broken arm, and I didn't bother to glue it up.
• Bloomerang: The whole boomerang petals were loose, and I didn't bother to glue it up as well. Replaced it with a K'NEX figure of it.
• Cabbage-pult: The catapult broke, sometimes. Replaced it with K'NEX figure of it, and also my most wanted one that came from somebody who kindly kept that online, the one from KFC in May 2013.
• Bonk Choy: Not really a fan of this one, because I didn't even touch this so often. Despite there is a KFC toy of it, this figure still exists without any usage before I gave it away, along with the others.

Enjoy!

Electric fan lover, meet my "twins"...

You may know I do love electric fans, but this time, I will tell you about the interesting stuff behind us. I do have some friends who loved electric fans online too, but one of my friends just came to my house, recently. Even though that occasion happened several months ago, but I do have some interesting stuffs about him. He lives in the exact same province where I'm living in, but I live in one of the small towns of this province where I'm living in (just far away from him), and he lives in the capital of this province where I'm living in also. So, here are some stories about him, including bit of his biography:

His name is Leonard Winarta. He has the same age as me, because he also born in 16th December 2000 (judging by the title, that's why I called it like that). He lives somewhere in the northern part of Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. He also loves electric fans as well, especially for really old or vintage ones. He also collects some types of electric fans just like us, such as portable fans, ceiling fans (even though he doesn't have any other than the mini ceiling fans), and some more appliances related to them. So, here's his YouTube channel's About description:

"Hi everyone!, Welcome to my Channel! I love electric stuffs since I was little.At this channel. I showing video about electric fans. Not electric fans only,at this channel,I show video about Air Conditioner.Cause there are my favorite electric Stuffs. And I also have Some Catalog About electric Fans and Air Conditioner. Please subscribe to my channel. I live at Surabaya, east java,Indonesia. I born at 16 december 2000."

Although I put his channel's About description just like that, but he always type words just like what do you see in his channel. It looks like he has too much pressing the Enter button after a few words each, but alright, alright, it's just the way that he typed them into... Anyway, that's bit of his biography, so now it's time for the story about he met me in my house several months ago, so here are my pictures about him:

My mom (left), Leonard himself (middle), and his mom (right)

He captured and filmed my decorative ceiling fan there...

With it's own light kit turned on...

And... he captured and filmed my orbit ceiling fan (and featuring pictures of me and my parents in those wall frames)

See, here are the pictures about him with my fans. Okay, time for the story about how he did come to my house in that day...

Back in that day, I wasn't expecting to "be like this feature"... I got met by any electric fan lovers, basically. So, during I was doing some normal things in my house like what I'm doing usually (unless there was a homework), somebody was waiting in front of the door of my house. I thought it was a packet for my parents, but turned out it didn't. It turned out there were some people out there with two different vehicles. One was one of my dad's workmates with his motorcycle, and behind him there were unknown persons with their own car, and after I looked it closer at those, turned out it's Leonard with his parents.

One of my dad's workmates said something to me about it, "They find you. Because he kept hugged me due to he thought I'm you."... And this is where the story between me and him started. He and his parents visited my dad's workplace first, because he already know about the workplace that I listed on my Google+ About section that I wrote it many millenniums ago. Then, he hugged to the said my dad's workmate and said, "Ade!!! Ade!!". "No, I'm not Ade, I'm one of his dad's workmates here." said to the said dad's workmate. And he told more about me to him, "He's in his house now. Come on, I'm gonna guide you to his house.". So, without any longer time, he eventually did guide them to my house.

After they reached to my house, I was surprised if I never knew in the day I just met by one of my electric fan collectors out there, and I did. He and his parents entered in my house and he met me. The reason why they visited my house, it's because they got invited by their relative's wedding party in a hotel that occurred in the same day (I think), not too far from my house. So, that's why they decided to visit my house first, then they went to the party there. Just like me (well, almost), if I visited somebody's house or public places with some interesting electric fans inside, I always capture and film them up. And so for his, he captured and filmed almost all of my fans in my house as well, except to me he feels quite bit exaggerated by his actual attitude. But, it's not problem though, even I did have a bad start loving electric fans, and so for his as well. Okay, back to the story.

Simply enough, I met him each other by showing off some galleries of electric fans that we captured through the years. He's still not satisfied enough, he continued by capturing and filming almost all of the fans in my house, from my 2 ceiling fans and all of the portable fans that I do own them. The way how he filmed them was quite tricky, unlike me. He told it to everybody who surrounded him to shut up for a moment during he filming the video of my fans, if I recalled it correct. After he filmed them, he and his parents were talking each other to us related to our hobby that we do nowadays. Finally, after anything from him about me was over, they went away from my house, because the time was cramped, and they went to the hotel that was located just near to my house.

So, that's one of my fellow friend fan lovers that I explained here. I wish there are more of my fellow fan lovers will visit my house soon. That's it for the explanation and some stories about him, and thanks for reading.

My non fan'n'toy favorite things...

This time, instead of explaining about fans and toys like what I usually do, I'm going to explain the non fan and toy favorite things. In my childhood, I was used to liked several of things, but not from electric fans or toys either. So, here are the things that I did put them in my favorite lists that are other than just fans and toys:

1. Lip liner pencils

As you may see on this picture here, you may think these are normal colorful pencils. No! They're lip liner pencils. I used to be obsessed by these things exactly like in the picture, back when I was in kindergarten around 2006-2007. I and my mom visited a small cosmetic shop (which was one of my mom's friends who owned it, but now she passed away), then I found those pencils in several of the catalogs. It came in pink (or known as rose), red, sierra (or red, but slightly darker), and brown. Then I got the sierra and the brown one (I think), but I really wanted the red one so bad, but they were sold out. Despite of course they were used for cosmetic purposes, but I really wanted them because they look so interesting, compared to normal colorful pencils that I usually buy from the bookstores. Not satisfied enough, I drew and color several of the silly things with these pencils, sometimes. Again I wasn't satisfied enough, I cut some of the pictures of those products out from some of the catalogs that featured them, especially the ones that had some shiny effects on them, and I pasted them on one of my old diary books. From what I'd remember, my obsession against these things were lasted during mine ones lost, and so they didn't produce them anymore. Although there was an alternative of those, out from a generic cosmetic shop with different color and style, I used to be liked it too, but not as much as those lip liner pencils, until I quit liking those things out several months later. You may ask, "There were lot of types of pencils for cosmetic purposes, which one that is your favorite the most?". Well, I would say, those just in the picture, literally. Once again, I'm so impressed by how they look, and it does make huge difference compared to the others. I did also favorite some actual famous 2B pencil brands too, but it only lasted way shorter than those. Also, I'd remember in many years ago with those 2B pencils, I used to hate it in some of my friends like this way, "If you have it, I will throw it away" and that's it.

2. Windmills

Yep, as you may know from my old "and concept" YouTube channel that I made, I used to favorite the windmills too, there are some of my videos about those, uploaded with very slow connection back in those days. Now, in this video that I put it here, this is an example about how I started liking them, and collecting them. Although I did start collecting electric fans before by mounting 5 fans in my old house (back in around of 2008), I got interrupted by these. By the start, where I visited in some kind of a pond near the rice field in 2011, then I heard some ticking can noises from far away. And it turned out, those noises were actually from those windmills, made from some waste and bamboo. Then, I inspired them by recording them, and built several of mine in front of my house, and around my old neighborhood. So, here are the videos:

Yep, there we are! Some of them had a different placement of where the windmills were mounted on, and so for the weather, time, and basically everything on each of the videos. With accompany of one of my family's relative's members, I helped with him to make them and enjoying them in my old neighborhood. We made them with some waste as well, but with bit more modern aesthetic look for them, unlike the ones at the rice fields. Some of them had the blade were made out from the PVC pipes, few of them were made from metal, and of course, bunch of them were made with fan blades. As the time being, these were famous back in the day with all of those noise makers, until I gave up 2 years later, because several of them were taken down for some maintenance issues. I did reborn windmill madness for a quite in 2013 and 2014, but it didn't result as much as in 2011, because of course, electric fans has been taken place back in my existence, but WAY in wider range.

So, there you go for my non electric fan and toy favorite things. Turns out there are just two of them here, but it's okay. Anyway, hope you can enjoy them, and thanks for reading.

Ronald (dot) Quality ceiling fans, your pirated contents...

You can't believe it there is one YouTube channel of electric fans that still doing the wrong things. I've seen plenty of those before, based on Bad users of electric fans that I made many months ago before. In case you wondering, why the hell I titled this post as that, that name of one of the idiots of electric fan himself, because his channel is still there until, and I frankly can't stand it anymore. So, if you want to check his channel, click here. If you already checked it, I will explain it here.

Well, here is the channel of the idiot himself. I will rant about this channel, so if you want to read the texts below, read it slowly (if you can).

Ronald. Quality Ceiling fans, is basically... a YouTube channel of electric fans. Yes... electric fans. But what's the matters worse about this channel... This channel is notorious for stealing videos... From what I've ascertained, he stole many electric fan videos around the world... Many of them... he stole from Kat TheFanEnthusiast. So... imagine if he meet myself, and he's the most sadist looking person in the world of electric fans, this is the short conversation that may look like:

R : Hi man, are you an electric fan lover?

A : Yes, I am.

R : By mean I'm gonna steal your video and post it in your channel?

A : What?

R : I'M GOING TO STEAL YOUR VIDEO!!!

A : SHUT UP!!! IT'S ALL OF MY VIDEOS!!! AND WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS???!!! FOR YOUR STUPID HOBBY, RIGHT???!!!!

R : Because it's my hobby, you dumb man.

A : DID YOU SAY ME DUMB MAN???!!! C'MON, STEAL MY VIDEOS OR I'M GONNA SMASH YOUR FACE!!!!!!

R : (releases his pistol and shoots myself) DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!!!!!! (robbed my stuffs and he flees away)

How brutal he is. Not only brutal from what I predicted on that conversation, he is so brutal on his way to stole all of those electric fan videos. Judging by the titles... do you see that? It makes NO sense whatsoever that made me want to kill him back. Look at these titles... Basically, the titles are like these below:

• ... (video title) | harbor breeze ceiling fan
• ... (video title) | emerson ceiling fan
• ... (video title) | ... (more brand names of the ceiling fan brands in USA) ceiling fan

Yep, just like those... And what's the point of you stealing videos with all of the titles... Because, it's just his ass way to stole somebody's person's videos... Oh, here's most popular videos, by this idiot:

Yep, Ceiling fans at my friend's house played to Bonetrousle | harbor breeze ceiling fan. How brutally stupid this video is... It's actually came from somebody's video, who also made a rant video about him... Of course, this video has quite a lot of dislikes, including the original owner of this video himself... But wait! This user never gets end... The bonus point of this channel though, is... I can't even block him... STUPID PIECE OF CRAP, WHY YOUR CHANNEL IS SO F***ING PROTECTIVE?!!!! YOU STOLE SOMEBODY VIDEOS!!!!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, AREN'T YOU???!!!!!  AND YOUR CHANNEL IS NOT BLOCKED YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UUUUGGGHHH!!!!!

So, go block and report this channel, if you can.

Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX: My comments of those moulding goofs

Yet another K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies's Identify a specific brand thing. But this time, I will answer about most of the sentences that are from it's said game's wiki. You may know somebody added the Plants vs. Zombies K'NEX on it? If yes, go read it first before you continue read this here, scroll down to the Moulding Goofs section, and check List of Goofs. I only comment most of them, of course because I only have most of them based on those statements there. So, I'm going to comment them here, exactly on the ones that I have (I only put my favorite ones here though, so NO for zombies, they are already bad as you may expect), not in general like what the said game's wiki have on there. So, here are the statements of them:

"The stem of a Peashooter figurine can be loose from the body or leaves."

Yes, I have all 3 of them in different elements, and unfortunately, one of them doesn't come with it's own stem. Stupid person who packaged that in it's own original blind bag, ugh... And yes, the stem of them are can be loose, either from their own body or their own leaves. I experienced at 2 of them, and because I was too much love with them, those parts are loose like mad. I mean come on, everybody who made these in China must be proud by this goof. Quality is kinda 50:50 to me, but not that bad for these, I've seen worse than these. Being the results of this goof, I fixed them with different methods. One of them I fixed it with a superglue, so turns out I can't take it off due to how strong the glue is. And the other one I fixed it with a tape, and I twisted it around the bottom part of the stem, to prevent loosing it out.

Here's the one that I fixed it with a tape twisted on that part...

"Putting Cabbage-pult's head onto Cabbage-pult's cabbage peg part takes strength due to the whole inside of the head mould being more closed."

I do have that Cabbage-pult came out from the K'NEX Plants vs. Zombies Series 2 blind bag. Although I did connect the Cabbage-pult's head onto Cabbage-pult's cabbage peg normally, but it has a bit of minor goof based on the statement above here. I connected them for very first time, and it has some noises during I tried to connect them, though. For the quality, even though just the same kind of material as the Peashooter or it's frozen counterpart, it's not that bad, and it's a tiny bit heavier than them. However, this issue has been solved, due to I kept removing those parts out. Unfortunately, this lead to another problem in terms of painting, instead of this goof. Just like the Peashooter ones (exception for the transparent ones), if you have too much playing with them, their body themselves started to blacking out for a tiny bit, so there's no way to fix it, unless I have to paint it over.

So, that's my comment about them, and thanks for reading.
