I guess it's wasteful for Englsih people. Water bills and things. But where I live over here? The cost of rent covers all electric and water costs. We pay no extra. Soo... not a waste here. D:

Fallout. I think I've developed an allergic reaction to the series, it's just irritating. The barbie-doll characters, the too-clean voices, the bleak brown=and-grey everywhere, the annoying radio music, even the whole neo-50's aesthetic, everything has just gotten under my skin after 6 hours of playing.

I enjoyed it at first, I truly did. When I was weak and anything coming from around the corner could mean my death, but then that feeling just stopped -- exploration became tedious and enemies redundant.

The Elder Scrolls games are beautiful, their world inviting and.. while there are complaints to be made -- simply being there, in that world, can make you feel a sense of contentment and awe. Fallout just feels like a boring shooter where you chase down arrows on a compass, the world didn't absorb me, the role wasn't one I cared to play.

That sums up my feeling for all Bethesda's games; they are really astounding and beautiful, but boring.

Familial obligations. Spending this much time with my family is going to drive me drink.
And drugs. Good thing I'm legal soon

That's why people should have only pets.

OT: People who, and in my personal experience only Americans do it, dare to accuse you of bad grammar when you are using the actual english. You know, moustache - mustache.

People who call you a grammar nazi when you corrected spelling. They're not the same!

Yeah, the correct term is spelling nazi. So what's the term for pointing out that someone is using the wrong words to convey their thoughts? Vocabulary nazi?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer.

Even though I think it's got a seditious anti-Christian message, I still hate it.

Microsoft's shitty CLR being unable to calculate something as little as Moser's Number and instead crying about too little memory when trying to calculate the 470000th power of a number which takes roughly 400KiB in memory... Now I need some other project to relieve me from boredom over the holidays

But at least I got the algorithm fast enough to explode on me within the first minute of running, and not only after running for a week or so (which would be even more wasted time).
