The combat was fun, true, but it was always pretty easy. If I found that I keep dying, it always meant I was doing something wrong. Dying once or twice is normal because there is no detailed instructions to tell you what to do, but dying 4-5 times at the same place is a sign that you need to find another way to do things.
The game was very linear. There was no side-quest and no special NPCs to interact with except the hooker at the beginning. Never spoke to her but from what I've read in the various game forums (the main Metro forum is kind of small right now probably due to the small playerbase) it is not a good idea to accept her "offers".
After finishing the game, I felt that it was more like a movie than an actual game. 4A Games probably tried to emulate the Japanese style of RPGs but created something even closer to a film than any JRPGs.
My modem finally gave up. I had switched it off last night (trying to start the habit of turning both the modem and router off every night) and when my bro switched it back on this morning, it couldn't connect to the net. I patiently waited till 5pm before succumbing to my impatience and called Starhub for help.
After giving him all the relevant info and switching the ends of the ethernet wire between the TV point to my modem, he told me my modem wasn't (and still isn't, at the moment) connected to the network. So he's sending his report to "the engineers" within 24 hours and they will test to see if its the signal's problem or whatever within 1-2 days.
In other words, 48-72 hours of NO INTERNET. NO INTERNET! That's practically on the same level as pre-Geneva-Convention torture and watching 80s Singaporean TV drama!
Fortunately for me I'm aware of the possibility of making a computer serve as a router, ie access point and I am in possession of a mobile Starhub modem. A few minutes of Googling and voila! I have my computer as a router. Speed still sucks though, so I don't think I can play much.
Apparently my bro is getting laid and isn't making any effort to keep it a secret, so I don't see a reason to hide it from my blog.
I wonder if my friends in the BC take showers with their girlfriends. I know, it's wonderfully kinky and etc. Must be interesting, except I find my bro's girlfriend pretty close to what I'd consider fugly. Oh well, you don't find gamer girls often these days who would play L4D2.
At this point I'd also like to state that knowing a couple have sex on a regular basis is quite different from being aware that one is doing it right now not 10m away, just behind this wall in front of me. It's probably normal to feel a little bit horny in such a situation, I guess. Wait, I can solve this problem. No, not masturbate. I just need to imagine her face... alright I'm not horny anymore.
Hey man, it's not like I'm trying to insult her or anything. I've come across lots of couples whom I find hard to imagine to be sexually attracted to each other. I guess love plays a big part.
I'm sure some of the BC members do have some sort of sex with their girlfriends. Everyone's different, I know, so they probably give oral, handjobs or even go all the way. I can't know for sure, but making semi-educated guesses is easy.
I'll bet that Ivan's been aware of such activities between his cousin and her boyfriend for years. If he was honest when he told me that one time that he doesn't acquire pornographic materials from the net, I guess it does make some kind of sense if you see it this way. It's not about imagining the couple having sex, but simply the knowledge that someone is doing something is a little arousing. Unless it's your parents or grandparents, then it gets kind of gross to think about it.
As for him and XL, their intimacy suggests that sex is likely. On the other hand, I have no idea how prudish they are. Nah I'm just kidding, I merely don't know how prudish XL is. Ivan's conservative nature is well-known among his friends.
HX and CM, I'm completely unsure. I'm also ignorant of whether they share the same religion. It depends on which part of his (or their) beliefs they are willing to obey. Religion is funny that way. You can twist it any way you like and as long as someone agrees with you, you are still a devout believer of the faith (eg Catholic priests who swear they believe in God and sodomise little boys at the same time. "... oh my god! Oh yea, you like that Pete? Oh yea oh yea oh yea OH GAWD I'm coming!"). Anyway the best I can say is it's possible between them.
John and his girlfriend has definitely been practising for years, if not already trying to get a baby. There is little chance I'll believe it if they claim they've never laid eyes on the genitals of each other.
I don't know about you, but even if all of them have been having penetrative sex regularly for years, it wouldn't surprise me. Hell, to make me open my eyes wide you'll probably have to show me something to the degree of Vic doing a sheep.
DON'T DO IT, VIC! DON'T DO IT!
I'm fully aware that their sex lives are none of my business, but it's not like I'm asking them to tell me anything. If the above rant offends you in any way, you can suc... I mean inflate this Wolverine float.
