There's nothing like having a whole house just for yourself. Makes you feel like you're in complete control of your life, for a change.

Heh, yeah, walking is a big part of WoW (being the only MMORPG) I've played. But I do stray from the roads from time to time, hunting for interesting stuff, trying to reveal pieces of the map, or simply looking for trouble. I hope to check out Morrowing and Oblivion some day - I believe they offer great opportunities for exploration.

I stick to familiar stuff too, most of the time. But occasionally I try to broaden my horizons with new things. These days I decided to try out the last and most reviled among the classic (Core Design's) Tomb Raiders - Angel of Darkness. I can easily see why it was considered bad, though it's far from being utterly despicable. But it feels pretty weird compared to its predecessors. And it led to Core being removed as developers, replaced by another company. What is my next gaming mood going to be? Don't know yet...

Mmmm, I had the same thoughts when I was a kid - often felt that people around me lived "on autopilot" and just did everything mechanically, without really feeling anything. I know not everyone is like this, of course, but there definitely are a lot of people like this. And the really nasty thing - they want you to be like them. But such pressure can be resisted.

I wish the author of Abu could drop by, so that we can ask him what he was smoking when he came up with THAT.

Having (and sharing) weird adventures is one of the spices of life. I've been searching for wacky things to do my whole life and I haven't lost the passsion for it. Not even slightly.

Heh, it's good you don't have Facebook - making oneself look sophisticated has become life's sole purpose for some people there. It's not just classical music - sophisticated people also drink wine, play chess, speak Latin, and share deep bible quotes. As for language - I just let it flow as it pleases. It's a habit from working as a translator - if you want to be efficient, you can't stop at every single word and wonder what is the best option. You stick with what intuition and instinct suggest and thus you move through the text at a nice fast pace, without getting tired too soon.
