...third time's a charm, as they say.

Everybody has to grow up eventually. Decide what they really want in life and how they want the rest of their life to be.

Once again, I decided against compromising.

Fuck money.

Mostly the lack of it.

So I just saw "Gamer" together with one of my flatemates and few other friends. Obnoxious as I am, I just had to blabb quite a bit about games, computers and all that postmodern-technological babble. I had wonderfull time, but maybe that's precisely cause I already had a good idea what the movie's gonna be about/like. I couldn't be bothered to be ( Read more... )

I played Final fantasy XIII.

And it was gorgeous.

...of which I have definetly less knowledge than of Episode I, since the hype died down and everyone went "oh it is so horrible". That does not matter for me, I'm prepared for the worst, and it's not like I'm shedding out my own money for the game or have to play it anyway. Besides, I am often a "fan of the underdog", too.
