… but damn this name sucks. After my euphoria about Starcraft got less a little after calming myself with some hours of “The Moment Of Silence” I need to get my hands on some new gaming, soon. Really soon. I should finish “The Moment Of Silence” on Wednesday, hopefully. So all there is left to play is Dreamfall. Well… that one already got finished. But although I need some more gaming, there is something more important to be done. The laundry. Right, I have to play a game which is called “wash you clothes or you won’t have any clean ones next week” and you have to believe me – this game really sucks. Don’t bother asking me why, I will tell you: I do not own a washing machine which is why I have to go to my parents this weekend to wash and dry my clothes. Boooring. But finally I get to show Dreamfall to my parents then which raises my mood again.

I had a discussion with my parents before attending Games Academy in Berlin. This discussions topic was one of the kind any gamer really knows and dislikes. It was all about “there are no really intelligent games with some sort at the highest level out there”. Back then I really could tell them there were, but I couldn’t argue why. Some weeks ago I finally got my chance to apply the earned experience and skill to the old discussion of 2005 and succeeded. I stated that there are games which do not present the old and rusty image of Lara Croft like character and story but really intense and demanding storyline and characters. I asked them to do me a favor and try “Dreamfall – The longest Journey” and they agreed. My parents are not that kind of parents that likes to play games although my mother really is addicted to solitaire and sudoku. Well, the time has come to get gaming back into my family’s home again. Hail the immersion – let’s get it on! What I aim for is to play one game of Starcraft 2 either with my father or with my mother as soon as this game is released. We will, until the release is announced, play some other games, too. But Starcraft 2 will definitively mark the finish line.

If you guys out there have any suggestion which games we should play to prepare my parents to play, feel free to email your suggestions via the comment functions in this blog or via email to nadim@the-wise.net.

Yeeehaaaaarrr everybody, today is a great day for the gaming community. Well, by looking at a colleague of mine, maybe not for every gamer. But anyways, this weekend Blizzard announced Starcraft 2 which is, to be honest, a reason to celebrate. So this is why I need to find my old Starcraft mojo and all the other stuff.

But I see the problems coming up. I need enough quality games to survive the time I am waiting for this great game to be released… which is why I  just took “Dreamfall” and “The moment of silence” from the shelve to calm my mind and to keep my body from dying from an overdose of high concentrated adrenaline and “Oh my god this is awesome”-ness. I am so happy… I wanna cry. Hehe.

(FIRST SMILEY IN THIS BLOG !!!)

You see, I am really… in this kind of mood….

Great day for me. Great day for the community. Great that I have to work right now.

There is not much time left, this week. Work really eats up all my time, leaving just little time to spare.

This week I came up with something new. While surfing the net I found a website which sells audio books and after I bought and downloaded the first one I instantly got addicted to the concept. Since then I have downloaded almost 6 audio books and really like listening to them at work.

Anyways, new updates coming soon. Well … at least I hope so.

Ok now, this is crazy. I have to clear the quest from below but the actual situation makes me angry. I am getting older in about ten minutes.. yapp, today/tomorrow (4th of may) is my birthday.

So I ordered some pasta to have something to eat while I celebrate alone tonight. That was about two hours ago. I havn’t heard anything from the pizza service and they don’t answer the phone. Maybe I left my phonenumber to receive ads, but at least they could give me a call so I don’t sit around waiting hungry and mad.

I guess there are several circumstances which I might accept as a reason why I don’t get my pizza and why they don’t call me. Maybe earth is beeing conquered by aliens right now and the pizzaboy got kidnapped and/or killed already. Well I guess then it would be ok. Or maybe they wait till I finally AM 24 years old so they can deliver that pizza for free, including some money or something alike. That would be ok, too. Maybe they drove through a gang area (which we don’t have in Aachen) and got killed before informing their bosses that my pizza wouldn’t arrive. That would be ok, too.

What ever the real problem is, I will never again order pizza from that company.

To hell with ‘em. And happy birthday to me

To kill the cliffhanger: No, I have not been on TV.

This doesn’t mean that my day was boring or somthing alike – I just wasn’t on TV.

But as you all might have realized, I am about to talk a lot of nosense and seed some truth between the lies. Find out which one is no lie and maybe I will reward you with some special preview on my actual fantasy novel project.

I got fired today which means that I have no money left to live on in Aachen. Fortunately I got word from an old friend that I may work for his company as a scientist. I don’t know which science, but I know I can do it. Because of this I have to move to Paris in the next few days. Additional I look forward to celebrate my birthday tomorrow – alone.

Anyways. I will be home on Saturday.
