My flatmate watched this while I sat in front of the PC. It gets even worse if that's possible... It was almost as horrible as Van Helsing, and that's a feat!

There should be a link to the game's homepage somewhere in the article I suppose?

Well, I just have to compliment you on this review FA! As I mentioned before, it's a rare thing that I laugh myself through a review! Might have to check out this game, as I haven't really played anything like it before.

Waiting for this poll to be changed...

Square-Enix has announced a few new titles.

FullAuto: I don't mind sharing a house with other people, in fact I think I probably prefer that, but for someone trying to set up a home on their own, or even a lot of young couples (whose work may not pay a lot to begin with), it's just not practical, and in some cases, simply not possible.

A young couple can share the expenses as flatmates do, and have the added advantage of only needing one bedroom. Might need more if they start a family, but they should have the good sense to build up a career and economy before doing so. Accidents do happen of course...

Anyway, for most people it is less complicated then it sounds moving out, if they accept below par standards and / or sharing a flat / dorm / whateveryoucallit. Living with other people is a good experience, and most people grow up a little when they move out from their parents house (hence my comment that everyone should move out by the age of 18. When I was in the army I met a lot of people that had never been out of their parents house, and surely needed it...). As I said before, most people are prisoners of their fears and imaginary boundaries. Things aren't as complicated if one is just willing to take a small risk.

Oh, and I don't really mean this as a critique to people that still live at home. Moving out might not work well for everyone, and some has valid reasons. I'm just saying that if someone feels like it might be time to leave the nest, they shouldn't be afraid to do so. The problems we think of with doing so are mostly in our heads.

FullAuto: Virtually the only way to do it early on is share a house.

Well, I've been living like that for 9 years (with 3-5 other people). Guess it depends on the person in question, but it's not such a problem. Sure beats living with one's parents! The problem with housing prices is common in most countries I guess, so you more or less have to live with someone to afford moving out.

You mean buy a house / apartment? Or is it really expensive to rent something as well?

Indeed! Sony is having some serious trouble these days from what I hear. Go Nintendo!

Nintendo is doing well

There should be a law against leaving home later than 18...

silvertongedevil: Is it now obligatory to have an homosexual in every movie? I know most of the actors are but do we have to have a queer character in every script?

OT:
Same goes for TV! There's not a single reality series in Norway without a faggot these days. Even in "Farmers looking for something to fuck" they managed to find a gay farmer...that's unheard of! It's not that I hate faggots, but I get sick and tired of seeing them in every form of entertainment these days. And in case it sounds like I watch a lot of reality, I see the adds for the programs, that's all. I sometimes watch them, but most are crap, so it's a waste of time.

Topic:
2K2B is excellent! Good to see Kilmer back in a decent role, even if it is as fag. The movie doesn't focus on the fact, and thus it doesn't really matter. Val Kilmer is one of the really great actors...Toombstone, Doors, The Saint...

As the guys already said, what others are doing is not important. Some people run large businesses by the age of 20, while others never top £1000 a month. Both may be happy or unhappy, feel successful or not. As FullAuto says, if you're content then you're fine.


*rant mode on*
If the reason you look to others is that you're not happy with where you are however, maybe you should do something. I tend to stay at one place for maybe 3 years, and then move on. I stay in touch with the people I really like, and drop the ones I knew out of convenience (you typically spend quite a bit of time with people you don't really connect with through work, studies or mutual friends).

Therefore, if you're not where you want to be, I say fuck it and move! Go to another country if you like. I've done this 4 times already (mostly because of studies, and all inside Norway though), and it always ends well. Meet new people, learn new things and have new opportunities. I don't understand the people that fear moving on. "I have all my friends here. My family lives close by. I have my job here." SO? You'll get new friends where you end up, and you'll see your family in the holidays. Same goes for your "old friends". I understand people that has wife and kids, but a lot of the whiners don't. Job? Most jobs can be had anywhere in the world, and aren't even hard to get. People are limited by the ridicules boundaries they create in their heads.

Anyway, I guess it depends on the person, but most people should travel more. Leaving your family and friends behind is not as big a deal as many think, and you can always come back if it doesn't work out. Don't let the imaginary boundaries hold you back!

I think the Revolutions strength is that is doesn't have the fantastic hardware. Playstation 3 and XBox 360 is all about graphics, while the Revolution will have to follow it's little brother DS in many ways; gameplay to sell over graphics. Then again, there are probably too many casual retards that think graphics roxors for that to ever happen...

Reason I think the Revolution might do well is the small trend I think I see in PC gaming. Several turn-based strategy games has done really well lately (most notably CivIV and GalCivII), and innovative games like Spore is generating massive interest. Everyone that has seen the Spore video think it's amazing, and if the Revolution can present similar amazing innovation it might just steal the people that are getting tired of the other consoles graphics battle. It's a long shot, but we can always hope...
