Nadja, my best friend, visited me this weekend (she lives in Zurich with husband and kids) and it was totally amazing! :) We had the greatest times again. Last time I saw her almost a year ago. But we decided to get it back on track :) We (R&me) picked her up from the airport on Saturday afternoon, picked up food from our favourite Indonesian place, had tons of talks at home, great meal, in the evening went to the housewarning party of Erik's girlfriend Esther (Erik isRogier's friend) , followed by Halloween dance party-event in Amsterdam. Rogier went as Dracula, I went as a devil and Nadya as a zombie-girl. Was uber cool. Next day we went shopping with her, followed by dinner at my favourite Japanese restaurant and talked-talked-talked all the time haha. We ARE bst friends, time cannot change it. We ordered taxi for her and she left early morning. We have tons of plans and it was really trully great to see each other again...like nothing ever changed, like not a day passed. :)
Deus Ex is amazing game. I pre-ordered it and was uber-excited to play it, but when I finally started - found it somewhat disappointed. I did not find all the leads that wer ethrown at me in the cinematic trailer back in the original game, I found the gameplay challenging and int he beginning was dying a lot, or balancing on the edge, choosing for stealth style playing, but somewhat towards the middle, I really got the taste of the game and was unstopable. I loved it, loved it, loved it. It is totally a nine in my book. The moment I finished the game, I started to play it again - now with all experience and tricks learned and it gave me a trully rewarding experience. This time I was on the top of the game, king (queen) of the hill..and mroe agressive in my style. Music in this game blew me away. It is too good to be true. Listen to the OST on my iPod very often. I loved the moral of that game and always when for a paragon choice, of course, choosing in the end to tell the truth to the world (game gives you choises how to end the game - 4 possibilities), because i strongly believe in truth and freedom. I strive and defend it. If I were a god(dess) (not like I stick a feather up my ass, but simply hypothetically, if I were to represent a god in a certain panteon), my discipline would be JUSTICE. I always try to follow this code, and justice rules most of my choices in life. I always want to reward the good and I always want to crush the bad. After finishing the game, after the end credits, I watched complete "Making Of" documentrary and I salute and applaude to the team in Montreal who created this masterpeace. During the end titles, you can see endless pictures of the team who made the game, and I looked at every single one of them, because I want to see and know how the people who created this game look like. Game that gave me many hours of joy, excitment and satisfaction. My deepest gratitude to each and very one of them. they made a product worht existing. True quality with a moral and lesson: with great power, comes great responsibility , which humanity in its current stay can hardly (if at all) handle. Stay human and stay humane ABOVE ALL.
P.S. Boss fights were very easy.
Some useful/interesting links I found today, when looking for some info. Want to keep it.
