I am quite the city kid too – most of my peers had relatives (usually grandparents) living in a village and they would often visit them, especially during vacations. But my family has exactly zero relatives in a village, so I never got any contact with the rural way of life. Knowing myself, I’d have probably ran wild around the place all day long.

I think I’ll check out the ancient DW series too some day, for science! The way I understand it, the Daleks are some sort of space Nazis with daddy issues :P

I can surely recommend some newer stuff, though I’m not sure how much you’d like it. Transition period games can be quirky. Or there’d be something you have to play beforehand, so you’d still bounce back to the old stuff (e.g. you’d have to play Blood before Blood 2).

Ha ha, “walking simulator” is a nice way to put it. Exploration is fun, indeed, but the pain in my wrist (from holding down the button to walk forward) – not so much. Updates are an annoying thing for sure because they are absolutely mandatory and sometimes they change things so much that it’s like a new game all of a sudden. Yes, rushing is one thing I never do – I like to do things slowly and methodically. WoW is good in this regard because it never stops you from doing stuff below your level (the quest reward may be reduced, but you can still complete it at any time you want) and there aren’t any time limits (like Daggerfall). Besides, being methodical means being better equipped once you move on to a harder area. And in Diablo, the game doesn’t care much what level you are when you do a quest – as long as you can survive it, you are fine. About bosses – I often try to solo them, even if they were designed as a group thing. And I often succeed, which feels great (sense of achievement + all the loot is for me). My biggest catch was a fearsome 5-man boss that I soloed with a Warlock. Another thing is that my introverted nature in real life makes me an introverted fantasy hero as well, preferring to do quests alone, rather than in a party. I do make friends, though – I always do my best to be polite and helpful. Many players appreciate that.

Ugh, it would suck if you’re locked out of your stuff because the mandatory online service suddenly decided to become morality police. This is understandable in an MMO, where community interaction is crucial, but for a shooter that doesn’t even have multiplayer? Sheesh...

Good to hear you like your company. My former workplace, the translation agency, seemed so nice at first, but then I started how realize how poisonous the management staff was, imposing tons of absurd rules and turning people against one another. Good riddance! The university is great but it’s state-owned, so things happen a bit slowly and clumsily (with lots of bureaucracy). Did I tell you how there a fire, and there was smoke in hallways, yet we could not evacuate without being given an official order by a superior? This sort of bureaucracy.

Azure is a really nice color. But it has evil hues around the corners.

I’ll check out your new playlist soon ;)
