to the whole True Detective soundtrack playlist, which pretty much calls for getting drunk or at least having a drink. Thats not gonna happen today, but the mood seems appropriate anyway. Enjoy

Discussing anything with the kid is welcome, nowadays they are going to learn everything by themselves anyway, so it had better come from you, that way you can at least put it right. Besides, spending some time with offspring, doing anything, is good enough.
The child's gonna find trouble at some point, so he better not harm himself or the opponent trying to mimic what he's seen in that Jackie Chan movie the other day. Either that, or he'll be picking up a stone or something sharp and pointy to defend himself, going for eyes and such, and i'd rather he just kicked the other guy below the knee instead. Knowing how to handle oneself in a fight adds to confidence, it doesnt mean the kid's gonna go terrorizing the neighborhood. If he doesnt know right from wrong and is into bullying, he'll find a way to hurt others' feelings without knowing how to land a punch, so its not about fighting, its about morale, the two can be separate.

It's 5am, and I have no idea why I'm still awake. And I'm not feeling tired at all, ugh.
in such cases - write something. in the end you'll still feel as tired and sleepy the next morning, but at least you'll have something tangible as a result of your sleepless night.

I realize that if i say "i never would", it would be a lie.
Under certain circumstances i would, i will damage a person, a human being physically, regardless of sex, age or anything.
Dont get me wrong, i am not a violent person, i welcome peaceful solutions to problems and, even more, preventing problems and avoiding them if necessary. But there are lines, that, if crossed, ought to be responded to. I personally can take in my address a lot of crap without blinking an eye and giving any importance to it. But, damn, help that person whatever god he's praying to if he thinks he can blackmouth people whom i'm close with and get away with it. If he's anywhere near me, i'll attack (no matter the outcome), if not, i'll remember. I dont know, maybe that sounds weird, that's the way i see it personally. Luckily, i must add, i dont really imagine a girl passing that line, so all in all the chances of me attacking a female person are very slim.

Elder Scrolls, even though Fallout is just a futuristic version of Elder Scrolls. I like it better because Fallout has to many distractions, scenery wise of course. But it wouldn't matter if they fixed the little shit-let details. I'd still go for Elder Scrolls because it's the original, I'm a sucker for originals.
Elder Scrolls is the original of Fallout? The two games had nothing to do with each other until Bethesda acquired the rights, and New Vegas was even developed by another studio. Now the similarities they share are only technological, it's hard to call one a version of another.

Dragon Age 2.
Had high expectations for the game after playing Dragon Age Origins and i was pretty much disappointed after my 1st playthrough.It was not upto the mark and the worst game I had played.
Funny thing - i really looked forward to the game, and when it came out everyone started bashing it, i also watched a couple of vids and didnt like it. So i just passed, like there was no sequel. And when i finally played it (even on medium graphics, cause higher options were locked for xp), i enjoyed it pretty much. Not as much as the first one but still. It's simplified, made in an obvious rush, but it's got the original's music composer (Inon Zur) and the writers. That turned out to be enough for me.
To be completely honest, I have a festering hatred for the left4dead games, they're clunky hideously hideous, boring games. I struggle to understand why so many people swear by these titles, just gahhhhhtried to play co-op with friends?

To be honest i dont remember when was the first time i read about Hachiko, thats one of those stories you think you know by default. And the movie with Richard Gere must have popularized the story among those who hadn't heard it.
I'm a dog lover, ive seen how wide the emotional range of those creatures can be with my own eyes, so the story never was something unimaginable for me. Still a good story, and i'm glad that what was at first just an article in a paper lived on to our days.
P.S. I dont really care about the body after death, but stuffing it seems inappropriate to me.

It's not that old to be discarded, maybe of year 2006, and not used like a mule. Cant say for sure cause it didnt belong to me, but for the last year it just rested in its bag. I learned it had a fall though, so yeah maybe physical damage. Just thought if it was that bad it wouldnt work at all, now itss like hiccups, you think it's gone then it comes back

Have you tried playing around with the programs running, disable them one or two at a time and see if there is any change. Other than that, its probably just that your laptop is getting a bit older
Yeah, there are hardly many programs running, but i'm sure the problem isnt related to that. But thanks for the brainstorming. Probably it really is not durable enough anymore.

Hey
I'm using this ASUS notebook (Intel T2250 1,73Ghz, 1gb RAM) and while i fully realize that it's not supposed to be a beast, it still has to work fine for browsing and such. But it doesnt, actually almost every performed action makes him zone out for a few seconds. Not like the system freezes dead, no, it's just like he takes his time doing it. Task manager doesnt show any significant pressure on either cpu or memory. See, i thought it was a software problem, malware or something, but the problem stays after a full OS reinstall and even hard disc change. The machine doesnt heat strong enough to cause such problems.
Now, i know that making conclusions based on such a brief description isn't easy, so i just ask if anyone has encountered a similar problem or knows how to confirm a fault in hardware. If it were a desktop i'd play with its components, cant really do it with a notebook. Thanks for your time
P.S. while i was typing this, something else came up, like the TouchPad icon in the toolbar is supposed to track my touch, but instead it just shows as if i pressed somewhere in the middle and hold it that way, also when i want to type ', it doubles the letter like thiss. Those are trifles but it's kind of weird anyway.

Why cant you tell what's in mine? I thought it was obvious, it's a green shiny donut inside... something... probably. Obvious.
Oh, i want the fubonus cookies. Hm, let me think... Lara Croft and Duke Nukem? ... No? Arh, i suck at FF.

Darker than Black, though maybe it's more fiction than science.
Eden of the East, I personally didnt like that much, but a lot of people did.
I hear Gants is good, gotta watch it sometime.
Serial Experiments Lain has a lot to it, sci-fi too, it might be a bit difficult to watch
Paprika is about a technology that allows to analyze and interfere with people's dreams.
From what already has been mentioned: i find Cowboy Bebop is great, and Neon Genesis Evangelion is what got me interested in anime (it is being remade now in several full legth movies, wont be finished earlier than in a few years though.)

Fallout> Elder scrolls any day, with the exception of Fallout 3, Obsidian/Black isle know how to make a great game with a compelling story and a multitude of moral choices and paths, bethesda are good at building worlds and lore, but leave much to be desired when it comes to everything else imo(with the exception of Morrowind). Hell in New Vegas Obsidian did everything Beth promised to do in 3 and still it offered more in terms of decision making and non linearity than even Skyrim did,I'd even put fallout 2 over skyrim in this aspect
I'll just sign under this.
Fallout offered much more of freedom (and i dont mean open world, i mean decisions and consequences) than TES even back when it was still isometric (though the first TES i played was Morrowind, maybe the two before that offered more, i dont know), then lost a lot of its charm with the third installment and regained it in full and added more with NV. In Skyrim, Molag Bar tells you to beat a person to death (to several deaths, even). You do that, cause you dont have choice. You cant tell him to stick that mace up his daedric behind, no, and some may say that it's logical, you cant argue with a powerful demonic-godly type of creature. Maybe, but when in NV House tries to manipulate you like a puppet you can find his cryogenic capsule and work some amateur science on it with a tragic outcome. That i like. Where is Molag Bar's cryogenic apparatus?

I think you should check if you've got the right game, I mean, there's a shit ton of situations that turn out differently depending on what you say or do,(see the first mission, the ambush in Hengsha,Jensen's conversation with depressed ex-Swat buddy, the list goes on) sure the ending was terrible, but the rest of the game has enough choices to make it more than replayable.
I dont really find a game replayable if you can make all the best choices during the first walkthrough anyway. You choose the stealth gameplay over action - you get enough xp to unlock all the useful augments; no reason not to do all the side quests before advancing in plot, the game warns each time you're about to pass a point of no return; there arent really any equal choices, there are those that bring you to the best scenario (less bloodshed and all), why would you replay the game to make it worse, like, let Malik die and see what happens? The only real brunching comes at the very culmination, so you hit the save button and try out all four possibilities, just to hear Adam's final speech differ slightly depending on how you played (or you can even see that all on youtube, without the save/load routine.
On the other hand what i liked was how some quests were affected by your actions without actually warning you. Not like you have a fixed objective A with and a fixed optional point B. At the very beginning, during the hostage situation, no one actually tells you "hey, if you dont make it in time, the hostages will die". I personally thought David would bug me on the radio for ages while i take a slow look around to my liking and the game timer would be frozen, but no, my actions actually cost human lives. After such a start you expect even more but alas that's about it. The only other situation i can recollect is Malik's ambush, at first i didnt even think i could change the outcome, lucky i gave it a shot.

Just like one of the top comments says: that's f-ed.

I'm pleasantly surprised about how Fallout affected Elder Scrolls. Made the gaming all in all more comfortable, but still would like more ways to complete a quest. Like in case with the cannibals, you can either assist them by doing what the quest says, or just massacre them without warning (which is quite awkward). Can't rat them out, persuade into leaving the nasty habit, can't tell them to mind their own business and let you be (can ignore the active quest forever, but c'mon, that's a stupid solution). Then, the followers aren't really individuals, rather just an assisting sword and extra inventory space. The many "fetch this, do that" quests that bring some extra XP in other games can't really do that in Elder Scrolls, so instead they bring cash which sometimes look weird (seemingly poor folk suddenly part with valuables just cause you agreed to run a small errand for them. At one point a Jarl gives you half a grand in gold because you inform him that he wont be getting his pay from one of the mills anytime soon... suspicious.)
Hey but i emphasize, all that is a small rant, overall the game leaves a great impression.

It was Naruto, after i had watched 135 episodes of anime. I liked the fact that manga was much less time-consuming. Naruto had been going on for quite some time before i started so i had a lot of chapters. Eventually i caught up and found it inconvenient to wait for a whole week just to advance in plot a little, so i stopped reading. The day Naruto ends i'll read the rest (unless by the time it happens i'll be indifferent to that). Trying not to get spoiled in the meantime.

Needed to take my mind of studies for a while, so grabbed the first thing that was around - Hear the Wind Sing and Pinball,1973 by Haruki Murakami. Though i know a lot of people who didnt like it at all, it was an easy reading that left me with a slightly elevated mood. Give it a try and see for yourselves.

I like to think (and say) that they're black, in fact they are quite brown. And though i'm really content with my color, i like to see sickly bright blue in others' eyes.

To Kill a Mockingbird
by Harper Lee
For years i thought it was already too late to read that, turned out i was wrong. The only book Harper Lee's ever written, based on her life experience, and a masterpiece. Definition of a good book.
