I do have a mission ot save the world in a way. Today was our "Day of the nation's awakeners", which is a holiday celebrated mostly by people working in the field of education. The biggest advantage of this, of coursem is that we got a day off, which was quite welcome.

Oh yes, a non-distracting wall is nice indeed. But I really miss my old view. The only flaw my new home has is that it's only on the third floor (as opposed to being on the seventh), and is cluttered by other buildings on all sides (as opposed to having more open space around it, like my parents' place) which means no good view to enjoy.

I'd have to really love a band to listen to all of their stuff without exception. One of my college roommates - he loved Iron Maiden, had their entire discography on his laptop and listened to it very often. Me - I just like a selected few of their songs.

Different bands seem to have themes they love exploting. Therion loves runes, ancient mystics, gods, etc, just like Manowar is obsessed with warriors, war glory, Valhalla and Nordic mythology in general.

You're very right abotu the old EU - often feels like fan service. Someone was disappointed that the Emperor died... let's clone him and bring him back (completely ignoring all the effort and emotional turmoil that went into killing him the first time). The official movies resolved some plot thread? Let's resurrect it and open the old wound once again, imagine how many books we can pump out of that.

It can truly be described as a few precious islands within a sea of tasteless stuff. The games are mostly okay because they have to keep your attention and thus tend to avoid boring storylines (with a few small exceptions here and there), plus players usually focus on the violent rather than the story aspects of a game :P
