I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS

Cool Stuff, Favorites, , , , , ,

Yeah, I just finished Portal and like 99% of the people that managed to complete all 19 challenges feel damn good about it. Very good game, very interesting puzzles and an awesome ending. oh, and did I mention it has some awesome credits? They might not make much sense for someone who didn’t play the game, but if you did, you’ll most likely enjoy this.



This was a triumph.
I’m making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Aperture Science
We do what we must
because we can.
For the good of all of us.
Except the ones who are dead.
But there’s no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.
I’m not even angry.
I’m being so sincere right now.
Even though you broke my heart.
And killed me.
And tore me to pieces.
And threw every piece into a fire.
As they burned it hurt because I was so happy for you!
Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
And we’re out of beta.
We’re releasing on time.
So I’m GLaD. I got burned.
Think of all the things we learned
for the people who are still alive.
Go ahead and leave me.
I think I prefer to stay inside.
Maybe you’ll find someone else to help you.
Maybe Black Mesa
THAT WAS A JOKE.
HAHA. FAT CHANCE.
Anyway, this cake is great.
It’s so delicious and moist.
Look at me still talking
when there’s Science to do.
When I look out there, it makes me GLaD I’m not you.
I’ve experiments to run.
There is research to be done.
On the people who are still alive.
And believe me I am still alive.
I’m doing Science and I’m still alive.
I feel FANTASTIC and I’m still alive.
While you’re dying I’ll be still alive.
And when you’re dead I will be still alive.
STILL ALIVE

A crap called Real

Cool Stuff, Random Thoughts, , , , , ,

The big bad amazing extraordinary awesome incredible Real opened its gates for Bucharest yesterday! Hurray! Ok, now that we said it from a commercial point of view, you might even want to go there, right? Well, I did. I went there at 5pm and saw aabout 50 people waiting in a queue to get in. I thought it was a promotion or something, so I waited a bit and a miracle happened. All those people were allowed to get inside, so I was one of the lucky ones that got in without having to wait!

Why do I say lucky? Well, take a look at the photo I took when I got out half an hour later:

Yes! All those people wait in that queue to enter a hypermarket!

They wait for an hour to get inside and buy some damn sugar and oil!

And this happens in … no, not in Africa, in 2007 in Romania, member of the European Union.

Of course, you might think products are at half price, or that they give stuff for free perhaps? Actually, the biggest discount I found was for about 50 cents. Yes, that’s half a dollar “discount”.

It’s simply incredible how some people think, or better said, don’t.

And for those that have no idea where Bucharest is, Real is not the first hypermarket or anything, there are at least 10 more only in Bucharest. So .. yeah, next time you feel like laughing, take a trip there, it will pretty much feel like a trip though time.
