Didn't ever think you were russian from your posts on here that I've read Zappy have to say one thing about Russia atm which is in the news, from the Wiki on the Winter Olympics being held in your country next year "There have been controversies and concerns affecting the upcoming Winter Olympics. The major disputes are with Circassians, environmental and economic issues, lack of political stability and governance and the safety and human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) athletes, supporters and journalists" it actually put a shiver up my spine to think that there are athletes who spend their life getting ready for this event but now may be put off going because of their sexuality or not compete as well as they could do simply from worry about the angry stance towards them. Really really upsetting.... BUT LIGHTER NOTE GAMES said I'd slap a pic up here of what I got. http://i.imgur.com/yPGbsTD.jpg the ones with booklets were 3euros and without were 2euros so all games pictured here set me back a total just under 30euros. Even tho I know it's a handful of multiplats and stuff it's just all games I've not played this gen and figured if it's the price of a cup of tea I will probably play them for slightly longer than a Tea would last, Since I've not played one of um any advice on anything good I got would be appreciated. |
Oh, I live in Los Angeles - hence my planning of the 1st ever VGCartz E3 meet up earlier this year. (And Microsoft treating me to the Global Media Event, my sometimes inside knowledge of Sony, Activision, Sony's Gaming, etc.)
I'm a blend of many things but not Russian (well perhaps a tiny amount - because of my colouring people often assume I'm Irish actually!). I know some Russian people, and they are wonderful, and live near a Russian and Gay community, and they work well together. I also live near an Ethiopian community - love the food there. Los Angeles has many of little 'pocket' cities within the city. The most of any place I have ever been.
But the current state of the Russian government, yes, I think they may likely lose the Olympic games because all of those shenanigans. I didn't realize some of the things till your post. When you dehumanize people you lose. It's hard to believe with all the progress in the world they are doing that. It's so sad.
I think if perhaps Germany had lost the Olympic Games during a certain party's ruling, then perhaps they might not have reelected a certain person, and WW2 and all it's atrocities, might not have happened. Or if the UK Government had not tortured Alan Turning (because he was gay) and he and Bill Gates to a chance to work together how more amazing the world could be today.
Anyway, happy times, enjoy all your great game finds!
