Ref the discussion about my and Mr Awesome's financial situation: He has put his care up for sale (the car's a huge expense) and his gotten a second job, in addition to his full-tome job, where he's also gotten a solid raise. He's also set me up with a decently paid job I can do whenever, so it doesn't interfere with my studies. So things are looking up for us

Things and stuffs...and other important objects.

Woke up in a ridiculously good mood this morning for some reason, and it's stuck around all day

I guess that's less 'what's making you happy?' and more 'I'm happy to be happy'? Or something. Whatever, I hope it sticks around.

I just beat Bioshock Infinite. I am speechless. I have gotten this feeling of emotional overload and awe from a few books when I finished them, maybe a movie or two, but never a game. The argument of if a videogame can be art is officially over. Artistically speaking, in the sense of provoking thought and emotion, this is a masterpiece.

so now I just have to buy it, don't I?
is having played the previous bioshock games essential?

Also, rekindling of an old dating relation is going well. We'll see in two weeks

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Canada is one of only two countries I'd consider moving to, the other being Norway.

If only they could do something about the ghastly weather ...

Our Canuck and Viking members can rest easy knowing cold weather to me is like a garlic-covered cross to Dracula.

These two countries rank highly on my list of places I would live.

Gothos, playing the first one isn't strictly necessary, but I would recommend it just to have a feel for what a bioshock game is supposed to feel like. Some of the awesomeness of infinity comes from emotional callbacks to the first, but not narrative continuity. That probably makes not much sense.

Bioshock 2 is glorified dlc for the first in my opinion, not necessary at all but worth a run through if you just want more rapture action.

Cracked is fantastic

There are maybe a few characters here and there where changing their skin could be rather problematic (or doing so without changing that of the family/some of the family), but none of these were it. For instance changing Magneto to something NOT persecuted by the Nazis means changing a lot of his backstory and/or attitudes and view of the world. Or changing a character without changing the parents and the parents are important for something like inheriting powers (so the kid can't be adopted) would be dodgy, and lazy. But that sort of thing is the only reason. For many characters it's not a problem these days. Same thing as changing sexuality of some of them (again you may need to allow for some certain important relationships in their stories, but otherwise...). I like a cohesive story, and a big part of suspending disbelief is keeping the non-crazy things realistic and generally keeping things consistent, but provided you apply some effort to it story holes can usually be easily filled

I am glad to have a nice relaxed afternoon and evening ahead of me
