I thought about writing about Metal Gear but it would seem like I have a Kojima fixation (which isn't far from the truth). Maybe that's something for later in the day.
In my top ten list of all time games, Suikoden II would be up there, at least my favourite JRPG ever made. Even a friend of mine has it tattoo'd on her back, I for one wouldn't go to far, but I would certainly start remember my obsessing and end up on my back dribbling as if I was Ian Curtis after an intense gig.
The usual is that its just a JRPG, nothing special, the graphics are quaint, even bit of a throw back from the Snes days. For me, it's like when you discover a book for the first time that no one recommended to you. You peel back the pages not knowing if you will finally enjoy the book and in the end you're lying in bed staring at the ceiling.
And it's simply that peeling off the layers of the war between two countries and all the characters of interest and disinterest is what makes the game. Old heroes return from the past, new ones are made, some never return. But in the end, for me its not about them or the politics, it's about two men and their journey from being friends, suffering a betrayal, defeat and ultimately a return to the place where their lives changed forever.
The shame is, unless your an ebay fiend or someone that was there at the beginning, the only change for this is searching for the torrent or to hope Sony release the English version on PSN.
Love you all my beautiful eggs.
I'm unclean, a libertine And every time you vent your spleen, I seem to lose the power of speech, You're slipping slowly from my reach.
Without you, I'm nothing. Take the plan, spin it sideways. Without you, I'm nothing at all.

the German and his gadgets- one day I will visit his house and the doors will open like in Star Trek
realises for all the jousting, I came out a winner and can never lose,
Auntie Jennifer and Tabea coming over to visit me,
falling asleep watching Ice Age 3 at the 'exciting bits'
no more talk of the macbook generation from now til I join it.
Hong Kong bound come November, thanks BA sale,
surprising my auntie for my love of rocket and lasagne
'you're mother so fat, err she jump up and down' 'she get stuck' 'thank you bye'
my Su liking my cousin so much she wants to take her home in a rucksack
Russel Peters and the mileage I'm getting from this,
realising that things changed at work and not really caring about it all,
revenge is a dish best served with a Samurai Sword,
I have a coarse voice sometimes, people say it sounds like I'm speaking out of desperation or maybe speaking out of lost mind. Passive aggressive is what some people call it, I understand why those words form into something like this. To tell you the truth, its neither of those, I just like to remove myself from it all, better be able to walk away from a gun fight than to be stuck there clutching at a pistol when they have a machine gun to your head.
But this is not making any sense I'm sure.
I walked in what was left of the Munich summer, the sun burning my face and giving me lite skin cancer. I looked down at my hands and clenched them into fists. No one gave a toss around me. That's all I wanted to say.
Love you all my beautiful eggs.
There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard Why are we here? And where do we go? And how come it's so hard? It's not always easy and sometimes life can be deceiving I'll tell you one thing, it's always better when we're together

German corrections from a German,
watermelon dreams,
Jim getting freaked out from my head bopping at work 'Andrew calm down'
wanting to be part of the Mac Book Generation,
getting dinged by a car and the ensuing lengthy time trying to sort it out,
and all the various justifications I get from the aforementioned German,
cycling around the whole of Munich and feeling it,
cheese tasting in the OEZ,
freaking getting done for 10 euros in H+M- man the sales are at the wrong time,
shopping with Alan and getting a new jacket, Zara special,
The truth is I couldn't help writing about the year in review. I started this blog a year ago to catch the random adventures I would have in Germany. I'm pretty happy with it, the random moments which mean the most to me all captured. I left in November with an idea of what I wanted over the next phase of my life. Then things change and I suppose that's what I never realised in life. How what we yearn for changes even in a space of a year.
I said in a previous article 'I decided to leave these childish things behind'. Over last year I left a bit more than that, but in doing so I gained more and become richer than I could imagine.
Love you all my beautiful eggs.
Trent Reznor said it best 'every day is the same', he cut it with a dose which made you want to top yourself or at least take a machete to some of your co-workers.
Perhaps that's the reason why we do. Listen to his music that is. Why what were you thinking?

getting ill at the same time as last year, but for this one not utterly ruin me,
the Susu for looking after me one day, was much appreciated
seeing the random Astrium criminals, missed some of you guys too,
beating my all things done in a day record while returning from illness,
dim suming my face,
checking out the price for a future,
Selina is still a monkey in my eyes, a geek monkey,
waiting for the busy month of return vistors,
couldn't predict the famous death this time around, I did get Linda McCartney right however,
talking to Mitu about gaming, im an intellect without the books,
playing with the new lens, new ideas but new skills need to be learnt.
Sorting out the woman from downstairs, her tent is now sorted and packed away.
Getting back the kudos Newman gained from telling people about TVs
