My dog Emma died on the 25th of October. Now I know what to wish on new years eve. A happier year, with no grief.

I finished Star Wars Republic Commando. A great game but a bit too straightforward for my taste. Nonetheless, I got a big lesson... do not mess with trandoshans... and those really agile ninja's that are a pain to take out...

Ending with a gaming related subject, i'm thinking of doing a Thief Gold gameplay commentary series, but I don't know where. Maybe YouTube or GameSpot... perhaps even both. I got the idea of course from AlbedosRightHand (YouTube). I have finished 2 starting titles and 3 endings as well... Don't know how long it will take, but I'll try to make it.

Well, I'm back after a... very long break from blogging. It has definently been a weird couple of months. We buried our grandmother in the Rapla cemetary (11. sept. 2008 ). Since that I had no wish or desire to write, draw or do anything. The funeral was... I guess I can't describe it. It was the first one where I had to sit with my family at the front with the body. Every time a person came to give his regards, I couldn't help but to look back at the time, when my grandmother was alive. I played the saxophone there too. I'm really suprised that I could pull together. Maybe it was a coincidence, but about three days after the funeral, our dog Emma got a child. A boy. I'm still not convinced that every time a person dies, life will balance it... I'm not just that convinced.

School has been tiresome. A lot of homework in the tenth grade I presume. I got a new english teacher. Tony from Canada... he's sometimes a ok person, sometimes an ass. I don't know why, but I'm tired from this. School that is. I don't know when it started... maybe last year or something. I don't know. It's perhaps silly... maybe I'm just lazy but I want a big break. On the 30. sept. I went to Austria with an orchestra. That kind of break is good, but I want peace and quiet or something completely different from schoollife... maybe I'll go somewhere on summer.

I'm also right back I guess where I was last year. I'm hopelessly in love with a girl who has talked to me only a little... I don't want to get hurt again like I did last year...

Anyway... gaming is so slow... I didn't know what to play... now I got Republic Commando and I love it... although It's a little too straightforward. I love the Metroid Prime look to the game... I'll try to finish it and play it again with higher difficulty...

I got the PC back today... some stuff are new, some old...

Pentium 4, 3.00 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, MSI RX9550SE... a new motherboard and guess what... no new hard drive, so only 2 GB of free space... NOOOO!!! there goes the plan of playing Oblivion and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ... rats... maybe I can delete some files... maybee...

I'll try maybe Fallout... I played Simon the Sorcerer on the old laptop... great adventure, I'll try the second one too.

Oh and the new GS site is pretty sweet, I love it!

Summer isn't going very well... Sometimes it's fun to just rest, but now I don't have the PC in working order. There's probably ventilator issues or something like that. So i'm using a old laptop... really old... 64 mb of RAM... sweet... I can't play here or anything. MSN is out of order here too... The only game I can play is Castlevania and I'm not really in the mood for whip-swinging action.

I'll probably post something after the PC is in order...

Well... I really need a bigger hard drive for my gaming needs. Thinking (as always, THINKING) about getting a 500 GB hard drive. That should be enough for me and my siblings. I wanna play Resident Evil 4 again... finish Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones... get Condemned: Criminal Origins (the demo isn't enough!), S.T.A.L.K.E.R... Oblivion of course... and other big games with big weight...

Until then, I'm stuck with older ones, wich are great, but I need new ones too...

For example, I played and finished the first Metroid for the NES. Took about 5 hours. Got to bed around 4 o'clock I had trouble though with the last part... didn't get the ice-beam. If anyone knows, It's a hastle getting along only with the screw-attack :/. But I finished it, that's what counts.

Started from the start about three days ago Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Really great game. Reminds me of Metroid and in some ways even better. Sometimes it's a hastle with the map and all... where the heck do I have to go, and all that Thinking of playing through Harmony of Dissonence and Aria of Sorrow too

Let's see, If I can get past that darn Battle Arena :S ...and beat Dracula of course

Also, I'm playing on a private server for MU Online... what a pointless level grind that is... but it's at least fun for me... so If I'm bored getting my ass kicked in the Battle Arena in Castlevania, I'll turn off my GBA and get another reset or two

Bye.
