    Are Games Losing My Interest, or Is it Just Me?

    I think the Market tends to replicate formulas. I didn't touch any of the hundred ubisoft open world games after, maybe, Far Cry 3 and Assasins Creed 2. The latter I didn't even finished. There is nothing special about it anymore after the nth time. What really keeps me going are storydriven...

    Sony: PlayStation in the Future Will Be "a Service"

    The PS3's generation will be the last console generation for me. I don´t need more slightly improved grafics and this whole marketing- and service BS. Branding my a**. I´m out.

    Snowden's Email Provider Vanishes, Vows To Fight For Constitution

    And it´s all the same way anywhere in the developed world. I live in germany and the conservative parties try everything to limit freedom of speach in the internet. Even the left wing parties managed to dump the social standards some years ago. And the corporations seem to benefit from all the...

    The End of It

    This time the opposite of escapism. Last Night I watched the documentary 'the corporation'. BEFORE YOU WATCH THE VIDEO BE WARNED! There are some very graphic images (some dead people, crippled children and suffering animals) but it´s worth watching. But absolutely NSFW! It scared...

    Sonic the Poacher

    I remember that you wrote about, how dificult it was, to get every aspect of the animation and sound for a shotgunshot satisfying, when you tried it out. I was wondering what game it was for. Now I have my answer. Kann nicht warten es endlich zu spielen! ;)

    Do you believe in Aliens?

    Of course they exist! But it´s very unlikely that they have visited us. The distances are way too big and there are way too many stars in the galaxy alone. After all, we as a species have only radiosignals since about 200 years? And a not so small chance of destroying our species within the next...

    Words that you didn't get as a kid

    Irony I didn´t understand why someone says something but meaning just the opposite. In the meantime, I somehow became a cynic... Edit: Not really OT but I thought it would fit in here...

    Advice From a Fanboy: Akira

    You mistake... Funnily, back in school, the guy sitting next to me was a Japanese and called Akira. Edit: Akira, Battle Angel Alita and Ghost in the Shell as liveaction-films in development hell... That is very funny. :)
