Musopticon?

It's unfortunate that the situation is not that simple anymore. The support that USA is giving to Iraqis is practically a life support system for the area. US troops are pretty much the only ones with any kind of medical capacities in the area, they frequently clear the city districts of mines(read up on Mosul if you don't believe me), they patrol parts of the countryside against robber barons and constantly interfere on the warring factions in the area(not that it's always by choice). Warlords, religious sects and pure human brutality would tear the are to shreds were the US presence just suddenly leave. I know I don't agree on the reasons they initially went to Iraq(or Afghanistan, or anywhere during the last couple of decades), but they are essential for the survival of the region right now. At least until UN can and is allowed to set up a permanent support area for the civilians.

I wonder what kind of deathcamp spawned Hilde?

More than you might think Oh, make no mistake, I know. I know I liked the endings because they weren't about you saving the world(or even Ukraine), instead you just looking for some kind of redemption.

Homeworld is kicking my ass periodically. I can not stress enough how much I am failing with those salvage frigates, while the ions ships I purchased technology for from the Bentusi(who were incredibly cool) seem to wipe the floor with pretty much everything except strikecraft. I constantly try to keep up a team of salvagers, but there's never enough credits for anything and the enemy usually picks them as their first target(hell, I would), so I guess I'll be going against all the hints I've received so far("build salvage frigates to win the game") and just forgo everything for counter-unit tactics. Ion cannons and bomber squadrons away!

Eric Brosius - The Rutheford Castle That is some mean ambient.

Inon Zur - Imperial Guard Theme

...is dat sum heartagram I see thar? Dat is sum Him, rite?

Dismember - Sword of Light *mosh*

I loved the ending where you "make the zone disappear" . It was so...Tarkovskian. I'd sort of like if that was the canon ending, instead of the , which would mean no sequels. Partly that's because it seems to be the only "bad" ending where the main character survives and is relatively happy. No merging with crystals or becoming mad.

The Blood Brothers - USA Nails

Win! And I'm still wandering through the urban hellscape of GTA 4, constantly failing when trying to concentrate on missions, since causing random chaos is so much fun.

Windir - Blodssvik(live)

Ensiferum - Guardians of fate lol, he-man

I'm thinking about starting the NWN 2 mod, Winds of Change, but maybe later. Downloaded the SoaSE demo and it is every bit as cool as I thought, with a single exception: ship battle is dreary to watch. I don't know if I'm just spoiled by Homeworld, but I don't think it's actually interesting to see a bunch of steel cans form two opposite lines and zap each other. I hope the battle gains some dimensions once my ships start to field more special abilities, like that Ion Bolt, etc.

The main theme sounds like it'd be more at home in a movie adaptation of Howard's Phoenix in the Sword. Zur is a great composer, it's just that I'm getting kinda mixed feelings over such music in a Fallout title. Then again, it'd be interesting to see a post-apoc title that is as epic as that main theme.

I have a retake for Linguistic Change and Variation in English this evening, but I'm not feeling particularly studious. Iikku left for uni earlier this morning, since she had her diction test and I missed her like a stupid dork, ugh... So, I'm just reclining here and being an idiot in Teh Internets, thinking of maybe watching Code Geass r2 for the moment. I'm dreary since I have sleep-induced EEG test on Friday morning and know that I have to deprive myself of sleep the following night. It's making me awfully anxious since I hate being tired and not only have to pay for train to get home for the test, but also miss out my changes of scouring the school library for secondary academic sources for my American Modernism essay. Blargh, blaagh.

Matsuo Hayato - Inu no Kuso

I want that game badly. Not as badly Disciples 3, but badly anyhow.

Yeah, a couple of months ago there was talk of TLJ:Episodes, but Funcom is doing T

Anouar Brahem - Dar es Salam

Read Auden, Orwell, Thiongo, Eliot, Joyce and Yeats.

I don't know every phrase, but it's usually either "Lower your weapon", "Put your gun away", "Flank him!", "Help me, I'm bleeding" or "We'll get you". For everything else, there's a thread out in the net that lists every Russian phrase and translates it. Even the jokes they do while sitting around a fire, even though some of those are pretty Eastern-specific, to be honest. Edit: I don't remember replying to you DN, sorry if it appeared like I were.

Blind Guardian - And then there was silence Great!

Hello-hello! Hello-hello! Hello-hello! Hello-hello! Hello-hel... Yeah. I'm kinda thinking of doing a run of Tiberium Wars, the Nod Temple level with GDI is just being horrible.

Who is Shaak Ti? Should I know? I mean, I know who Quinlan Vos is, but this character escapes me.
