I need the Ultimate Edition of Dragon Age. Like, yesterday. In Germany, it's only available as a download for about 50€. And the content is all English despite the fact that the game, the add-on and all DLCs already have a German dub. The UK import, on the other hand, costs about 30€ and comes on an actual DVD ... Your logic, I do not get it. This is not how reasonable marketing works. *sighs* Ah, well. UK import, it is then.

Hiatus

ExpandHomophobia in RPG? )

Playing Fallout 3 lately and it is somewhat really addictive. I could play this all day, except that I'm already becoming nervous because of my upcoming exams which I have to learn a crapload of stuff for. So ...

I'm going on my usual learning hiatus until the middle/end of July. Prepare for even more random and panick-stricken postings, because my procrastination bar will rise into infinite heights in the next few weeks. That being said: off for some more uni work and then watch Germany play tonight. (The World Cup is being lots of fun so far, surprisingly. Most of all, it's just nice to see good football again.)

ETA: YAY for Ghana winning!!! :D
ETA2: Those fucking fire-ants in Fallout are driving me insane. The constant foreboding clicking! The fire spitting! The absolutely disgusting corpses! I hope I'm out of that area asap, these things are making me really sick.

  • Master and Commander - HOW COME I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. Paul Bettany and Russel Crowe, omg. Also: hai there, new beautiful soundtrack.
  • Lesbian Vampire Killers - LOL. I love trashy fun-horror-movies.
  • Bought the first season of Veronica Mars, because it was on sale and I needed a new TV show to watch. Anyone already seen this? How is it?
  • We started playing FF XIII in turns yesterday and I am already in love. The graphic is stunning, imho. I generally have shitty hardware in my PC (I have to play Dragon Age with the lowest graphic details = major suckage) so good graphic never ceases to amaze me. XD Vanille is batshit crazy but lovely, Hope whiny but cute and LIGHTNING ROCKS SO HARD. I love this game for her alone. And for Snow who is amazing. Serah, however, looks like 12 and it boggles my mind that he's engaged to her. (However, it increases my hopes there might be some slashy potential between him and Hope, who also looks like 12.) Also, Sazh (who's name I am unable to memorise) and his chocobo constantly remind me of that story Leliana tells your PC about Lady Elise and the birds in her hair. LOL.

The thing about playing out your Dragon Age character the evil way is: it's not really fun, at least not for me. I thought it would be great to piss Alistair off, bully everyone around and generally be an asshole, but. It's just ... not.
For one thing, I am too much of a goody two-shoes, so pissed off characters make me nearly physically uncomfortable (yeah I know it's just a game, but - aaaah, I cannot bear it). Another thing is that I am a crazy perfectionist when it comes to computer games and character disapproval annoys the hell out of me because IT'S RUINING MY PERFECT GAMEPLAY with perfect results and each and every quest solved.
Besides, I feel like you're missing out on a lot of quests (ergo: experience points) and there's no real (evil) compensation for them. (Example: if you refuse to help out the people in Redcliffe, you'll miss out on an entire area with quests and battles.) MEH. Being evil isn't always that easy, it seems. Or is it just me?

1. My copy of Dragon Age: Origins for my PC arrived! I'm so excited for this, because it means a) I don't have to rely on J.'s PS3 anymore and b) I can finally play the Shale quest. *bounces*

2. SOMEONE WROTE FIC FOR MY TV SHOW MEME. It's a three sentence fic and it's so lovely and spot-on:
Ethan & Darcie, listening by [livejournal.com profile] lizzie_marie_23  *flails*

TODAY IS AWESOME. *runs off to start a play-through with the mage-origin and probably will not be seen for many days from now on*

In case there will ever be a live-action movie of Dragon Age: Origins, I firmly believe - and no one will convince me otherwise - that Jensen Ackles would make a splendid Alistair. Right down to the silly jokes and the grimaces.

I have teh Internetz again. Yay! (Honestly, Telekom ... a stronghold of chaos and incompetence.)

Soooo, what's new? I just realised how freaking much I actually still have to do, especially since next week there will be a Big Important Presentation and then, in only a few weeks, examinations! *freaks out* How did that happen? Again? Why am I always surprised at how little time there's actually left? *rolls eyes* Anyhow, I really need to get working from now on. 

Oh, and anyone interested in some pictures of the KSC doing training in Belek? There are some nice pics in this gallery, although no interesting shots of anyone in particular. Meh.

Also, since I had no internet and obviously wasn't working much - with what did I waste my entire time? Well, first of all, I finished Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell, which was awesome. I still think the pacing and entire chapters dedicated to unimportant side-characters were pretty exasperating, but the witty, charming and so very British writing made up a lot for it. Also, the great story that came to a wonderful ending. I won't say much about it, but if you bring some patience, a lot of time and a pot of hot tea with you, the book will make it worthwhile.

And then there was Dragon Age: Origins. ExpandA lot of rambling and swooning, in which Tess goes a little crazy over a game and admits that she cried like a baby because of it. )

Also, this is totally my new favourite song: This is war, 30 Seconds to Mars, the ending song to Dragon Age.
ayascythe: Pink Reaper (Glee ~ Don't stop believing)
So ... I probably don't need to mention that the KSC lost this weekend - of course. I can't even bring up any frustration, because I hardly care anymore. I'm trying to keep up the love and sympathy, but with almost the entire old team gone and no success at all ... it's hard. Very hard. I don't know. Football just annoys me, the thought of the players that left depresses me and there's not even anyone left to fangirl except for the Langkamps (who are currently not playing) and the Capos (and how nuts is that?).

Luckily, I'm still occupied with wallowing in the epic awesomeness that is Glee and infecting other people with it ("other people" being [livejournal.com profile] louphoenix ;)). It puts me into a great mood, it's addictive and the music is so good. There is so much chemistry that I'm really undecided about who to ship and create weird OT3 and OT4 and orgies in my mind. Also: Puck. <3 I just love it.

In other news, I'm currently playing "Dragon Age: Origins" on PS3 which is a great videogame RPG. It's been a long while since a computer game had me hooked that much, but the interaction and the characters are really good. I'm really excited what's going to happen next (and if my character will be able to seduce Alistair ... and Leliana ... and Morrigan. XD) Morrigan is such a cool bitch witch. Also: prrrretty outfit. *__* If I still visited any conventions I'd totally wanna cosplay this. (ETA: Omg, there's a fandom with fanfic. Not that I should be surprised. And I cannot read anything, because I'm not through with the game yet. I'm already spoilered as it is.)

PS: I still need presents for my parents. Argh. *pulls at hair*
