Currently…
I have not been blogging for some time now so i thought i should just update you on what i am currently reading/playing/watching:
The Sopranos
I am now on Season 6 and this is probably the best series i have ever watched together with The Wire. Awesome!
Necessary Ilussiions by Noam Chomsky
It’s a book i started reading when i was at the university but never finished it. It’s about how the media in democratic societies are being used by the state-corporate establishment to define and narrow down the field of debate among the people. It’s very interesting although it can be somewhat repetitive and also so far most of the examples/facts used by Chomsky relate to the American continent i.e. Nicaragua, El Salvador etc. I would have preferred a more worldwide approach.
Lost Odyssey (360)
A game that takes the space of 4 DVDs. I can’t remember when was the last time a console asked me to “Insert Disc 2″. It’s a very traditional Japanese RPG and reminds me of the Final Fantasy series. I am actually really enjoying this game. A lot more than i expected. The game requires a lot of patience due to its length (i inserted disc 2 after 14hours) and the numerous dreams you read in the form of text. I like the musical score, the character development and also had one of those great experiences you encounter every now and then in games. I will write about that in a later blog.
Lost Odyssey has changed my attitude for FFXIII from indifference to a can’t wait!
