barely fatal

Two busy weeks are over. Software releases always result in stress and worries, but it’s way, way better in the new company than in the old sweatshop. I think we did really good this time.

In the meanwhile, I’m through the 3rd season of The Sopranos. I still love it. It’s so realistic – as far as my imagination goes anyway. Paulie is my favourite character. He da man. Old-school.

Game wise, all signals are set to Go. One more month, and the 4th quarter starts, bringing many great new games every week. More than I – or anyone – can play, so smart and strategic decisions have to be made. However, as I’ve said before, Gothic 3 and Dark Messiah are must-haves.

Nobody said anything about my question from last week. 9/11 has come and gone, countless documentaries have been aired, as well as Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11. I know it’s something Americans take very personally, but the movie is kinda cheesy in parts, and a bit too long. It shows Moore’s perspective on things quite well though. Mine? I don’t have one. I always expect the worst while ignoring the media hypes and rumors. Usually turns out to be the right thing.

Do you know about the Overheard sites? They quote funny, stupid or simply remarkable conversations that were picked up in the public – in the office, at the beach, in New York … I spent half a day on the Overplot site which combines those quotes with Google maps, so it’s almost like walking throught the streets of New York, listening to what people chat about. Worth checking out!
