My monitor at work is nice in terms of brightness and colors... but it has this really loose mounting, so it moves a lot, even at the slightest touch. Makes me wonder if it's assembled properly.

There is always a chance you have a kink for shovelware, but just don't realize it yet. "Oooooh, yes, rub this collection of test maps all over my chest. Mmmmmm, show me your DOORH." :P

Don't know if you've heard - there was a bit of a Diablo controversy recently. They got the strange idea of announcing a mobile game in front of a crowd that was yearning to hear the announcement of a proper new PC instalment to the series. Expectedly, it did not go very well. One guy asked the developers if this was an "out of season April Fools joke". And the developer himself looked like he had just choked a cherry pit.

We have a long and pretty sad history of overdone literary analysis in this country. Especially if you dig through old books, you could see people picking apart something so much that they even include graphics - a guy was analyzing some kind of dynamics in the narrative and his analysis included a wavy line graph to present the ups and downs in the said dynamics. The whole analysis was quite a few pages long, an utter pain to read, let alone absorb. There is a famous story about our most famous writer ever (lived and worked in thel ate 19th and early 20th century) who once wrote an analysis on his own novel for his nephew... and the teacher gave it a poor grade for being a "sloppy and inaccurate analysis". Turns out the author doesn't understand his own work, but hey, literature teachers know its every secret.

Wow, I bet even Victor Hugo didn't realize how gay his book is. I hope he didn't write any analyses for his nephews, cause they would have been in big trouble! And this expalins everything, you know - the reason the main antagonist was so obsessed with hunting down the protagonist was because of all the unresolved sexual tension between them. True love is always unrequited, right?

Well, if he returns right now and reads all this, we'll have some explaining to do... or maybe you can sacrifice yourself and go on a date with him ;)

Boy, that would be fun. "Doctor, why was this patient committed?" "It's a really weird case. He is convinced that there are ghosts out there roaming in the night and they want to arrest him. He also believes that he has been poisoned and must run a hundred miles through the snow. We are not sure what to do with him."

Indeed, beating the harsh and nasty game woudl mean you can reward yourself with some better stuff, like Battlefront or Jedi Outcast (that Raadec and I have praised quite a few times). Getting back to such a game can be a very random experience - I remember times when I needed an adjustment period to get my reflexes back, but there were also times when I'd return after a long absence and still be pretty good. Could be something about mood...

Yes, it's a curse, but one I believe we can break. And it sohuld be easier now, with the many obstacles of the past being out of the way.

Oh, oh, oh, is it possible to play Aftershock test maps in co-op? That would be so sick! We can take turns opening that horizontal door and see how does it with more flair. Or do some synchronized diving into that little slime pit. Or hack at that glass together until it breaks, and see howl ong it takes when two people do it, hah hah. I am getting some really disturbing ideas here...
