Like any other, I was devastated by the fact that Jeff Gerstmann left GameSpot. Time went by and yesterday I embarassingly discovered, that Jeff was back in a new site. I googled Jeff and found a Wikipedia page of him. Love the fact that a great guy is in there There was information about the new site. Now I have to gaming related sites on my Bookmark and an account to each. If anyone hasn't yet discovered this... unlikely, but still: http://www.giantbomb.com

So once in a while I get happy stuff too, and this time it was my birthday. The day itself (last Friday) wasn't that special. There was a physics test and I pretty much failed it. This was the first time in years, that I was kinda anxious about presents. I told my mom that I would want Stephen Kings "Gunslinger", "Drawing of the Three", and "The Waste Lands". (in estonian of course...) My father also gave me 1000 estonian money (kroonid, kui keegi veel ei tea). My mother got me the first two books, saying that it was a start and the second one was from my brother and his girlfriend. I don't really mind, I love the books, although I've never read them. I did kinda know, that they would be awesome. I'm really enjoying "The Gunslinger", I've read half way through, which is good, since I don't read that often. I didn't know what to do with the money first, actually. In the afternoon I surfed the internet and found a site, that transported books from the USA to Estonia. I ordered Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" and Clive Barker's "Imajica". Since I have read all the Garry Totter books besides the seventh one (in english), I thought I'd give the two authors a chance. I actually wanted Clive Barker's "Weaveworld" too, but you don't get that much with 800 EEK. (I bought a christmas present for my classmate for 200) I can't wait until they arrive. Has anyone read either of those books?

Good things don't come always with bad, but this time it did. My dad has been drinking alot and yesterday my mother finally threw him basically out. Haven't seen him since Monday evening... I wonder what will happen...

My dog Emma died on the 25th of October. Now I know what to wish on new years eve. A happier year, with no grief.

I finished Star Wars Republic Commando. A great game but a bit too straightforward for my taste. Nonetheless, I got a big lesson... do not mess with trandoshans... and those really agile ninja's that are a pain to take out...

Ending with a gaming related subject, i'm thinking of doing a Thief Gold gameplay commentary series, but I don't know where. Maybe YouTube or GameSpot... perhaps even both. I got the idea of course from AlbedosRightHand (YouTube). I have finished 2 starting titles and 3 endings as well... Don't know how long it will take, but I'll try to make it.
