Merry Christmas!? Yes, it's that time ... oh wait, it began back in October...ish. Buy more crap at special prices. Everywhere.
Besides the depressive commercialism, Christmas is actually alright. Apart from the raving tendency to ensure that every student must endure abnormally bad timing as far as written assignments and exams are concerned. Well not me this year, hahahahahaha! /unnecessary gloating
Yes, that's right. Well okay, maybe there's some revision to do, but otherwise I've carved a path through the very worst of what had to be overcome. Mixing it with purty, purty Christmas lights on every street, it's almost enough to cheer me up, combined with a mixture of actually quite good games which happen to be available to me, in spite of the overall shittiness of the gaming market for sad RPG-lovers like myself. The day the number of worthwhile RPGs that are non-bleedingMMO for PC is on the rise is the day I'll open my heart to astrophysics and become a lifetime member of Scientology. As a result I've converted out of necessity to the FPS and RTS genres because I don't dare the event horizon of the big black hole that is my WoW account, which has been locked in every possible way as to prevent its malevolent influence.
So instead of dying pointlessly in various instances and battlegrounds, I now die repeatedly and pointlessly in various teamplay maps, whether it involves an ungodly amount of sticky bombs, a cheeky sniper with X-ray vision and superhuman reflexes or an Unreal Tournament 3 Darkwalker kindly stepping on my poor, fragile and customly designed reptillian body of questionable biological plausibility.
On the brighter side of the blandly multicoloured spectrum of virtual treats, Psychonauts still stands as a surprisingly fresh experience, breaking my sorry state of perpetual déjà vu.
I mean, fighting a genetic memory of Napoleon Bonaparte inside the mind of one of his descendants can't do anything but rock.
And that's it for me lest I need an overdose of coffee to achieve a bare minimum of survival at university in the morning.
