[DECEMBER]

(click to show/hide)

PP : Administration thinking that handling my finals, my lab project (required for semester), moving to another city for my internship in 2 weeks is nothing, and of course they had to add a shitload of paperwork for the internship (since I did the required papers in DECEMBER, they had to tell me a few days ago that in fact the papers I did were void (dafuq), so I have to redo the EXACT SAME PAPERS and write the same stuff), an additional crapload of paperwork for my new room, and a poopload of paperwork for leaving my flat, and so on ... I just can't see the end of it.

The most perfect thing is that the administration supposed to be looking into the case of my deposit + 2 additional months of rent (all this for a total of about 600€) being withdrawn for absolutely no reason is doing nothing since April.

PP2 : At the flat, we're currently packing our stuff, preparing to move to a different city, this is kinda depressing...

Backseat gaming with one of my flatmates in Antichamber (we both take turns), amazing game (but maybe a bit expensive for the content)

Aaaah... Dark Souls
The Master Key is intended as a shortcut for very experienced players I think, going head on to Drake Valley and Blighttown straight from the start might be a waste of time (I don't really see the impact of starting gift except for bombs)... Yut, killing the Asylum Demon for the second time was very difficult for me (but very rewarding !), this zone is optional but I have yet to see the role of the NPC there... anyways, I wish both of you good luck on this epic game (I'm at Sen's Fortress now, but I plan to go deeper when I will have more time)

Now, I'm failing at Kerbal Space Program...

(Backlog is pretty impressive... had barely the time to play Dungeons of Dredmor (By the way HK, do you have the extensions ? may do an Astral/Mathemagics/Staff when I retry) and didn't played Legends of Grimrock yet, this game seems epic)

"H. P. Lovecraft : Against the World, Against Life", by Michel Houellebecq (had to look up the name to write it right xD), found it in an used book shop, bought it for a few coins and I am not disapointed, as the book, rather than give a straight biography of HPL, shows the influence of his experiences on his works and the ideas he defended. A short, interesting read.

Sucking really bad at XCOM :Enemy Unknown. Being a big fan of UFO Enemy Unknown, I was ready to bet that his game was going to be a disaster, but I have been proved wrong in every way, this is actually what a remake should be : neither a dumbed-down version of the original or a straight remake, this game is at the same time different but very close to the original, I think that the new mechanics are very interesting and well-thought.

And also sucking beyond belief at Dark Souls, didn't make much progress there.

*Respawns*
GENTLEMEN.

Oh, and happy new year to all of you

You shall not... POOP, POOP, POOP !

Fun fact : In France, everyday is the paperwork day. YAY ADVENTURE WEEEEEEEEEEE

AP : Visa application is accepted (but I get to have a few hours of train to get it) and I bought the airplane tickets for going to a summer university in Russia !

PP : Left me kinda broke.

Re-going through the Belgariad, I guess I can't go wrong with some Eddings

Electric Six - Rubber Rocket

Dark Shadows. I can't believe I paid 8€ to see this poop.

Currently watching the first season of Death Valley, I don't see why everyone around me is bashing this series, it's not intended to be taken seriously.

My Steam name is FireFog. My avatar is a Borg.

So North Korea launched what they claim to be a rocket taking a satellite into earths orbit (Though it's more likely an ICBM), and sources say that it failed during the first stage of launch.

More likely to be a roll of toilet tissue wrapped in tinfoil

More seriously, even if it was a failure, it was the closest thing from a rocket launch happening in North Korea since '98, and they could do a great deal of damage by deploying anti-satellite satellite/weapons (on this topic I do highly recommend to watch Pax Americana, a truly great documentary on anti-satellite weapons and the consequences they could have) even if this is unlikely. Or even the damages that a non-controlled satellite could do (ramming in other satellites and so on).
