Where was I …

It seems to have been quite a while since my last post… I guess you can see WoW got to us good this time…
So let’s try to sum up everything that’s happened these last months!

First, as stated before, the World of Warcraft addiction got worse! Elke’s main Aislynn is making some serious progress, getting nicely geared up with Karazahn epics and self-tailored ones. My rogue got a bit neglected, but has received a new task… leveling my priest! Yes, that means I actually bought a second account and am playing on two pcs at the same time.. as I said, we got worse…

Enough about WoW though. A few weeks ago, Kurt and myself went to the PlayStation3 midnight launch at Sint-Niklaas. After waiting for 3 hours we finally managed to get our hands on one… and man, is it a sexy machine. The launch lineup might not be amazing, but putting this machine next to the 360 makes the 360 look like a kid’s toy. It’s very silent, it’s interface is right up my ally (aka beatiful minimalistic design, not bloated with ugly colors and fonts like the 360 Dashboard) and it plays Blu-rays!

Motorstorm is a must-have. Even though not my genre of game, it’s very arcady, chaotic and great fun. fl0w is a fun interactive screensaver, perfect for a 10 minutes chill-out before heading to bed. As for blu-ray playback, up until now I only own one disc, Lady in the Water. The quality is jaw-dropping. Even the sound seems much clearer and full. Any hints on where i can find more region B (or region free) blu-rays would be very welcome.

Thanks to Kurt, I’m watching some anime again. He dropped by the entire first season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Not as pretty as the movies, but closer related to the manga, it is a very enjoyable series. Those Tachikoma robots are so cute ^^ (and even have their own mini-series on the discs).

If you were wondering about the picture on top, well, I guess you’ve heard (hell the entire world heard) of those couples that didn’t want to be married by a black man in our small town of Sint-Niklaas. As reaction to that, they held a mass marriage, with 600+ couples present, to support this man and come up against racism. It being quite a romantic idea and an event for a good cause, of course we joined in. We did run off before the group hug started,… as we aren’t THAT social either :P

I think that about covers it all. I noticed I’ve been neglecting my Flickr account as well, so I’ll be uploading lots of pictures soon. There’s a new one of Myuu already however, I suggest you check it out!
