Hello again, community!

Ok, so a little background on me - I have been an IT technician for at least 10 years, got booted from my last job because **** was just not going very good for them financially. So, I got let go with 3 months salary, hoping to find another job SOON!

Well, after 3 months and 2 weeks I finally got a job at a software support hotline for a company that develops software for doctors and dentists. It's okay, but I'm more of a hands-on guy rather than answering one phone call after another and help frustrated doctors with their PC / software problems. Anyway, it's better than sitting in some kind of telemarketing service and get yelled at for being an **** for my phone call.

Anyway, maybe in April I will get a full-time contract with more money in my pocket. Maybe not...!?

So, brain! who do I call? HOTLINE MIAMI!
Man, this game is unique. I've had it since release, played it a couple of hours and put it on the shelf for more Blockbuster'ish games like Dishonored and Assassins Creed 3. The only modern-world problem I have is that my screen is so **** big, running 1920x1080 - it feels like I need to sit half a mile away from my screen to justify the old-school graphics. Hotline Miami has really opened my eyes on the Indie game genre, and Im positively surprised, really.
Anyway, I already unlocked a series of masks... I'm glad that when you start a new game that you still have the ones you earned previously.

Being the 'look-in-every-damn-corner-in-hope-to-find-a-secret-object' type-of gamer, I found much good use with the SPOILER!!!!

Owl mask... because secret objects will appear while wearing it, even though the graphics and gameplay are quite simple. Oh, yes, you'd get very bored watching me playing Uncharted because of my obscene obsession of wall-hugging areas to find a little meaningless treasure.

Today I gave it another shot. Man, was I happy. They do recommend you not to be afraid to die, but it sure as hell is frustrating to constantly being nailed with one hit, in the same area of the level. Its like a fast-food killing and retrying concept that I usually hate in games (like platform games in general).



I had to take a little break, though, and finish Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for the 20th time, which awkwardly was just as annoying by constantly dying in the same area (Im getting out of shape)! I just love the CoD:MW series because of the awesome graphics, even though I only have part 2 and 3. I love a lot of **** all of a sudden, dont I?

Well, one thing that I dont love but dont despise is online multiplayer. I dont know if its because of my social awkwardness (I even find the PS3 title Journey a pain in the ass because you HAVE to play with somebody, even though they are anonymous) or if its because I keep my ****ty skills for myself. I mean, come on I grew up playing Counter Strike against bots and became pretty good in the end. Then World of Warcraft came, and I played until the Burning Crusade until I got annoyed to **** not being able to become something while playing solo, but having to depend on others to get better gear and stuff. There just are some things in the gaming world that Im not very keen on, even though I know very well that the gameplay factor is highly increased by challenging other players around the world. Problem is also my internet connection that sucks extremely much. Lets hope that that will change soon, because I might move to a new place in a couple of months.

Im just ranting now. Lets do something useful. Which game, which platform? Hmmm

Until next time ;)
