  • I would like to believe it, but more often than not, I am a burden. Not only in romantic relationships, but in most relationships that go beyond casual acquaintance.
    Mostly it's a mixture of my surname. Gierszewski -> Gerard -> Gepard (cheetah). I like it, it was my nickname in school :)
    Hey, I was reading comments on my profile and noticed that I haven't replied to your previous message :S. Well the work goes fine, although there are tons of papers to check and it is tiring like hell. About NG - I have few editions, but it never fascinated me much.
    Yep. Funny thing about humans. We can't really do the whole "connect and understand one another" on a global level. Our treasured ability to communicate is quite limited. Most people have a hard time dealing with the people they see day to day. I think the problem with trying to learn about culture is that the culture, inherently, influences the way the culture sees things, even the culture itself. It's a random theory on the subject but I believe that culture influences culture itself in a rather circular way. It's hard to describe but I see it everywhere, especially gaming culture. The gaming culture as of the 1990s and now are so drastically different for example and trying to bridge the gap between the two is a bit hard. And that's a relatively small culture. There's not much history to it.

    I'm the same, lol, I typically only beat a game once. After that, I just can't seem to stir up enough interest in myself. And yes, I agree again, I love games that make it seem like the story matters. Not Fable-esque where if you're more evil then you get the evil ending. I like it when it's a progression. Where it seems like a story, where you character is slipping and falling to the darkside.

    Lol, I kind of enjoy that for some reason. Well, I tend to listen to Chrono series soundtrack, FF 8, Kingdom Hearts, and Metal Gear Solid (That soundtrack is pretty epic). With that being said, I'd listen to more but it's really hard to find after a while.
    Aren't they already differences in definitions? Hence the importance of both connotation and denotation? Definitions are just as....inexact as the things they're trying to describe, typically. I would say that building knowledge is a lot easier than building a national culture that people are aware of; for example, I know spanish and have been learning about the culture but it's hard for me to actually 'understand' the culture like a hispanic would. Same for German. I would be an ineffective situation in both German and South America. With that being said, I am worldly in that I 'know' about their culture. I don't understand it but I know about it. And I'm not sure if the flaws are showing because of lack of knowledge, I think it's showing because of bigotry. Slightly related but not the same concept.

    Yep. It's kind of indepth. If you beat the game at different times in the story, you get completely different endings. Wild Arms...I kind of always managed to get completely distracted and then end up not knowing what I was supposed to do in the slightest, IIRC. If I don't think my character has the proper motivation to do a quest, I start feeling like I'm doing something senseless. I don't remember any incidents in particular. Well, for example, I know during Tales of Symphonia, the whole arc where you're in the desert just spending time looking for a special item. The special item was needed but I felt as if I HAD to be there for some obscure reason and, as such, I kind of got bored and stopped playing. I guess I just need decent motivation. Yeah, I hate objective based mission, FFXI was actually rather decent in that regard.

    Heh. I find classical music to be quite repetitious most of the time. Video game music tends to have the melody and then plays on it a lot, kind of like the genre of Trance. Hehe. Final Fantasy...I remember quitting half way through FF7 because I didn't quite understand what I was doing (A bit after invading the Shinra building) anymore. I do enjoy FF music a bit though, not a lot, but a bit.
    Yes, I am overusing quite few instant entertainers -_-. This is a long term issue, sadly I can't chill out, it's buzzing me even when everything is fine.

    About the forest inspectorate (this is the proper version, checked) it's about managing nearest forester's lodges and selling wood. Plus there are some ecological issues, but mostly they are fictional.

    PS This new avatar is part of National Geographic cover from 1999. It has third place in Polish NG competition for best covers between 1999-2009
    As usually, stressed out (currently by new work, fortunately it isn't corporation but forest administration). I think my life has made my failing Se big as brain-cancer. :(
    Haha I'm just as curious as you are :)

    Yes I do have MSN.

    I'm not much of an AIM user anymore though.
    oh, it's in teh Southeast United States.

    Yeah, first it was the fact that we couldn't get a flight back, second my dad's illness, and now the weather lol.

    Hmmm, I have considered that reason. Its definitely a possibility.
    I'm in Va again...was in NY last night.

    I sometimes ponder if Something doesn't want me going....This is the third time. :/
