*welcome hug*

I already have.

I'm so rad!

Just a quick question for anyone who has seen The Dark Crystal. How exactly is the new game, Feist, reminiscent of The Dark Crystal? I have looked at the screenshots and trailer and no part of it really reminds me of The Dark Crystal. Maybe I am missing something, it has been years since I saw The Dark Crystal.

I was thinking more of these. Great for seeing alien intruders. :-)

Oh i see. I hope the burning feeling will vanish soon but good to hear that you're still in a happy mod desptie your health issues.
Currently thinking about either a Lumia 830 or a Samsung (maybe a S5 Mini or a A5) but i still want to try them out before buying any of those...

Started playing Sleeping Dogs, and I just finished off the last of the housework.

Yeah, nerve damage is bad. Painful and shitty in a semi-disembodied sort of way.
Sorry you're having to deal with that.

Thank you.

Is the Lumina a Windows phone and the Samsung a Google (Android) phone? So will you be going to a phone store to try them out before buying one?

Yeah about that...

I suppose it's a sales pitch aimed at those that do remember the movie. And a fastball too. I suppose it wants to imply that the game has a sense of wonder, handmade artistry and beautiful but whimsical graphics in a fantasy world that is supposed to awe and amaze.

I heard one of the reasons of Dark Crystal's flop was an early form of uncanny valley.

I've just seen "the national shotgun" an incredibly funny social satire about how politics were made in the 1950's. But I found disconcertingly eerie how everything it depicts as a parody is still happening in pretty much the exact same way nowadays.

Bear in mind this was a fascist dictatorship back then.

I already had a chinese Iphone (a Huawei)
I'm currently digging through ther various stores for a fitting phone :)

Nope, big, neon plastic frames are what all the cool kids are wearing.

I should follow your lead, check into going to school again.
Maybe I wouldn't sleep through the classes this time around. -laughs-

I just had a look at Sleeping Dogs, and I love the picture of the lady with the meat cleaver on steam :-). Are you enjoying the game?

Thank you. It's not permanent thankfully, it will heal, but it was quite bad, so it will take a while to get better. Hopefully the condition will not deteriorate and I won't have to really suffer this again, but who knows. Sadly if it deteriorates things get a lot worse in a very bad way. But I will deal with that if it happens, hopefully it never will.

It seems a bit cheap to me in some ways to name drop like that. Surly it as to have some real resemblance to make the claim, but who knows.

Sorry, but what is Uncanny Valley?

I meant an unaplogetic rip off of an iphone. Huawei at least tries to be a bit distinctive.

They're actually quite good, since they just copy the design, (after all they make it, why invest in R&D when everybody else is so desperate to give you their designs to manufacture? ) with cheaper components.

Except when they turn out to be a flaming pile of dogshit, it's a bit of a lottery.

The first time I did, I didn't even go to class, I had developed a bit of an internet addiction which I indulged in, at a cybercafe.

You're welcome :)
Yes. The Lumia is a Windows Phone (not entirely sure about the OS though) and the Samsung is an Android one. Always had an Android before. And i always try to test them out before buying them. Today i was reading many reviews about various phones....
I see. You meant something like Xiaomi or ZTE. Yes i was quite hapy with with my Huawei but i want something different and closer to the Stock Android as a replacement...

Pfff... no need to do so much work. Just buy something cheap and then forget about it. Who needs phones? :P
(except for emergencies)

I've heard people swear by Windows Phone calling it an excellent OS for mobile devices.

Problem is everyone thinks they're crazy, the fact that they also claim that wearing a toothbrush collar will ward off the evil cannibal cabbage people from Proxima Minor doesn't lend them much credibility.

The OS itself is dead in the water anyways.
