…so soll mein Geschreibsel auf Englisch also sein. Den Dienst fand ich bei Zasta Korobase.

Ich kann all die Leute, die jetzt über die ach so unfairen Schiedsrichter jammern, nicht verstehen. Es ist doch klar wie Kloßbrühe, dass diese von der FIFA angehalten sind, jedes Spiel besonders streng zu pfeifen - und genau das tun sie auch.

Jede Mannschaft, die in eine WM eintritt, die weiß das auch und muss damit rechnen. Die Schiedsrichter tun genau das, wozu man sie angehalten hat, ob das nun gut oder schlecht ist - wer weiß. Auf jeden Fall sollte man, wenn schon, gleich über die FIFA jammern - denn die hat das entsprechend angeordnet. Fertig.

I’ve purchased the PC version of “GTA IV” on Steam at the holiday price action. This means, I had to pay around 8€ for that game, while you still have to pay around 40€ in different kind of shops. Well, it helped me to keep my temper down - a lot. Here’s why.

First, GTA IV is really a great game. Graphics, story telling, looks, you name it, it got it. The high ranking ratings and well received critics don’t come from nowhere. But the stuff surrounding the game just really sucks golfballs through a garden hose. The game, even one year after its launch on the PC platform, is full of annoyances.

Which kind of annoyances, you might ask? Well, here they are:

1. The sheer amount of computing power under your desk you need to play it nicely. Better have a decent quad core, at least, and a very good graphics card, 512 MB of memory is the minimum, better yet 1 GB, if you want to play it on the highest detail level. This is something that’s going to wane down in the future when more and more potent computers are becoming wide spread.

That’s life; I was looking for nothing in particular and stumbled upon a small writing called “Houseplants of Gor” in a forum. In short it is a parody of Norman’s writing style and philosophy at all, quite funny to read. So, here we go:

The spider plant cringed as its owner brought forth the watering can. “I am a spider plant!” it cried indignantly. “How dare you water me before my time! Guards!” it called. “Guards!”

Borin, its owner, placed the watering can on the table and looked at it. “You will be watered,” he said.

“You do not dare to water me!” laughed the plant.

“You will be watered,” said Borin.

“Do not water me!” wept the plant.

“You will be watered,” said Borin.

I watched this exchange. Truly, I believed the plant would be watered. It was plant, and on Gor it had no rights. Perhaps on Earth, in its permissive society, which distorts the true roles of all beings, which forces both plant and waterer to go unh appy and constrained, which forbids the fulfillment of owner and houseplant, such might not happen. Perhaps there, it would not be watered. But it was on Gor now, and would undoubtedly feel its true place, that of houseplant. It was plant. It would be watered at will. Such is the way with plants.

This here seems to be the newest trend: since the standard avatar mesh looks just plain right ugly at the feet some shoe designers started now building shoes with builtin, more naturally looking toes. This looks like this here then:

Quite an improvement, if you’re asking me. I wonder if those are going to sell very well… a very nice idea.

Well, we all know griefers way too good in Second Life, especially their flying objects, like penises and such. Now in real life a flying penis was around when Garry Kasparov was holding a speech in Moscow. Take a look at the video:

This is how recently my rich, genuine Second Life experience has been:

Cleaning your cache and relogging might help then.

Our Lindens, who art in the Labs,
Hallowed be thy prims.
Thy Grid-dom come, thy will be done,
On sims, as it is in the preview,
Give us this day our daily crash,
And forgive us our spammery.
As we forgive those, who grief against us
Deliver us from the n00bie ones.
And lead us not into nakie places.

Amen.
