InterfaceLift is my favourite also for picking up desktop wallpapers.

Well I have been thinking something exactly like that to happen also. There will be some crazy nerd orgasms tomorrow, that's for sure.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/17/potatwo-the-valve-arg-aint-over/ I get a feeling that we will have some Half-Life stuff revealed in Portal 2. The physical size of Portal 2 is huge, there's going to be A LOT of stuff in there.

Yes, they might, but my intention is not to get a PS3, unless maybe in x years when I can get one for 50 euros or less. The only PS2 game I have played so far is actually Ico as I had a PS2 for loan from a friend once and for some reason actually owned myself the reprint of Ico some years ago. How is the PSP version of Little Big Planet, is it good or is it a crippled little brother of the real game?

The elections went to hell pretty much completely. We got one guy from Green party in two previous parliaments who was the only honest person there and was singlehandedly fighting for the users. By that I mean technology and making right decisions concerning copyright laws etc. Now that we had Pirate Party messing things up, they stole a lot of student votes from him and so Pirate Party pissed in their own cereals because they had the same agenda as this guy, Jyrki Kasvi. So end result was that he didn't get in and neither did anyone from Pirates. Shame I couldn't even vote for him as I'm not from that region. Also we got this really stupid comparison points system where the guy who gets more votes than others do not get chosen. Instead some fool who gets less votes but is in the same party as some guy who gets 40000 votes gets in.

Well, this is not much news yet, but recently bunch of developers from the Finnish Remedy game company (Max Payne, Alan Wake) left and started a new company. http://www.almosthumangames.com/ That's their ridiculously empty webpage, there's just nothing there yet, but they are working on an unannounced game. It is kind of interesting that they chose such a name that is already in use for various companies, like there is a special effects company in Hollywood that is Almost Human Inc. This game company is Almost Human Ltd. and Almost Human Oy. I wonder if that will bring problems to them.

Alone in the Dark trilogy is out now in GoG! Yes, the superior original classic trilogy is out now, forget about the crappy new games, these are the ones that influenced Shinji Mikami to make Resident Evil. The whole trilogy for 5.99, and to my great joy they have apparently even included the Jack in the Dark short game. Though I have to question GoG, they did not include the Mystery Observer newspapers that came with each of the games. I have to send them an email about that, would be an awesome extra, I was just looking at those because I have AitD 1 & 2 in the original boxes. Also the small bible like book of the items is missing, but that would be difficult to include.

6PM EET. Don't have time for this today, damn it. I wonder will it be the actual game or still some more ARG stuff.

Still haven't started the game, but it's there waiting for next week when it gets to be played alongside with another run with Portal and the shiny new Portal 2 that might actually get released today. Here's something for the topic. Post-mortem of Gemini Rue at GameCareerGuide by Joshua Nuernberger.

Wasn't it just recently said that Valve doesn't like 3rd party advertisers for their products anymore. That was the reason why they are doing all the stuff themselves these days. Like the Aperture Science JK Simmons clips?

The more I follow the ARG, the crazier it seems to be getting. All the time something is happening. http://valvearg.com/wiki/Player_Changes I'm really amazed how well Valve/GlaDOS has planned all this with the indie devs. It reached and passed the insanity level quite some time ago already.

Well, I seem to need to make an account at dotemu, so I really don't want to be spreading my buying all around. I'd like to keep it to Steam and GoG for now to have big game libraries for me, but in as few places as possible.

Idiocracy's base idea was really great, but the final product did not really do what it could've done. Mostly I want to believe that this was because of the budget and producing difficulties that Mike Judge ran into during the making of the movie.

Yeah, seems I have to get Magicka now. You really can't say no to a discount like that one. List keeps growing, list keeps growing... And in any case I won't get to play this game for a long time still, so they'll propably fix the bugs before that.

Wawooo! I also put my pre-load downloading in the morning. Latest talks are that according to the ARG Portal 2 might come out on Friday already. Or then something else Portal related is going to happen during Friday.

Awesome, this one goes to my evergrowing list when it hits GoG!

Okami I left out, because I have it for the Wii already. That is a solid great game though.

Club Nintendo... something that us Finnish people have no chance to have. Really sad stuff, I just recently heard that for example in Australia they have the SNES classic pad for Wii for example and I guess all the Club Nintendo shops in US/Japan/Euro have all kinds of fun stuff. Shame that Europe sucks and isn't really for all the countries. I would've propably got a ton of points with my GBA/DS/GC/Wii games.

Like Rodi already wrote, first learn hiragana and katakana, these are the easiest as both have on 48 characters. So in total it's 96 characters and then you are off to a good start already. All three are used to form sentences. Katakana is used for foreign words not of Japanese origin. There is basically no limit to the amount of kanji characters and not even Japanese people know all of them, that's why pretty much everyone in Japan carries an electronic dictionary with them. And yeah like Rodi said, don't learn romaji. It's pretty much useless and you'll be a sucker if you do.

The written language consists of kanji, hiragana and katakana. Romaji is for suckers like me.

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/04/08/alice-madness-returns-shots-are-yes-mad/ The colors seem to have faded away and all that is left is purple and brown. I hope the whole game doesn't look like these latest screenshots. Earlier Alice's costume was like bright blue etc.

I watched during the weekend once again Office Space, that's just so funny movie every time I see it and like a coworker told me today, it's like scenes from my working place. This movie is one of the best works of Mike Judge, maybe even the best. I rank it even higher than B&B or King of the Hill. Also happened to waste time to watch most likely the worst movie ever made, and that was Double Dragon. Why oh why did Robert Patrick go and waste himself on a crappy movie like this one... After a year or so ago since I was supposed to watch one movie, I finally did watch it yesterday. Torrente 2: Mision en Marbella. Such a funny movie, Santiago Segura is a great guy, and he made really a lot of funny scenes to the second one. This movie might actually be my favourite out of all the three movies, or actually four since apparently the fourth movie came out in March 2011 in Spain. Has been also a big success so far according to what I read. I wonder if any Thumbs have seen it yet?

How many parts are there in the Suzumiya Haruhi saga?

Any new news about the real RB guitar? Would be sweet to test that out. Best Buy pages are still saying that it's backordered.
