    Not a tip but it might be interesting and there are no other container-topics that I see.

    Sketchbook Pro 2015 has some very cool cool features, check the video from Scott Robertson, celebrity concept artist.

    I really dig the first feat he illustrates: the cursor snaps to the perspective to easily draw grids!

    Can you please refresh my memory on why a high price indicates your country is poor?

    I find junk food chains expansive in Italy - for the quality they actually offer.

    When I was in Namibia (and had trips to Zambia, Zimbabwe and Botswana) McD hadn't yet open venues there. There were other chains (Wimpy and Lion-something) and I think prices were comparable (never actually had industrial burgers – I was already eating antelope burgers at friends…).

    KFC and Nando's instead were popular (they are mad for chicken there) and price seemed very fair.

    Demand-offer is just one aspect, a business has to see what competition is doing, and even if you are the only seller of a good you have to take in account the purchasing power of people and popularity of your product… can't sell Coke in the most remote corner and price it like if it was Prosecco …or maybe you can, if the fraction of sales you make, do profit you more than selling loads cheap. It all depends on the peculiarities of the market you are selling to.

    More seriously, as for dates I could plan and make sure to be around. Thought it was intended a closer date at first.

    Just 1h of train for me, but I hope by that time to have a new job and apt in town.

    They're not a two-man team like the name suggests, they're a company with three studios that also does multimedia design… they don't seem to be desperate at all.

    I'm deffo asking for additional puzzles in the review I'll write when I'll finish it.

    Oh wow, Europa Report is out? Good to know.

    Didn't like Winter's Bone at all instead. THAT was boring. I have Gone Baby Gone to watch — have they done like a sequel? I've seen recently on imdb a "gone baby" film, and plot seems kinda the same.

    I was tempted to buy the graphic novel that spawned Snowpiercer, it was listed on IGN as one of the 5 best novels of the year or something like that, then they told me the movie was rubbish.

    Bought it before leaving home to jump on the plane, and went through it during the flight (except last two chapters).

    It's very good, I really like it, it's definitely the piece of art it seems. Unfortunately puzzles can hardly be considered as such, they're too straightforward and don't require thinking. And there are just 10 (as it seems). I understand that coming up with 3D puzzles is not as quick as for games like Angry Birds or Cut The Rope, but for this price I really want to play a bit longer, and feel more challenged.

  • What are you playing now?

    Bulletstorm.

    Why is this game trying so hard to tell a story (in a cinematic way)?? I want to shoot things!

    The first part is so fragmented it really asks you to put down the pad… really, I had tea and biscuits while playing the tutorial.

    You can't advertise a game so hard on "kill with skill" (and mocking COD in your adverts!!!) and then put me through such a long and frankly extremely boring intro. These rednecks are not made to tell a story this way.

    I did buy the game because I tried the demo and found it incredibly entertaining, perfect for short burst sessions, the campaign is very off-putting.

    Also, it's very weird the aiming setting, I did remember a very good shooter at the time, while now I'm very annoyed by the difference there is between from-the-hip and down-the-sights aiming: first is veeery fast, latter sloooow.

    Lone Survivor.

    Enjoyable, i was expecting something bad, more propaganda.

    Though I can't shake the question from my head: what were they thinking???

    In all the spec ops documentaries I've seen they say they teach these men to think, so why were they seeing as the only available options that eventually caused the course of events: "kill/tie the prisoners, or let everybody go"? I mean damn! tie the youngsters and free the old man and gain a great advantage to escape. Let them go but tie em together, so they can't run… daffuck.

    PS: among all actors, Wahlberg is the less believable in wearing boots imo.

    Sorry for the gravedig, but since the recent release of the "definitive edition" I was curious to compare it to the PC (which is the version I will buy when I get said machine).


    I'm quite annoyed in seeing that the PC version is generally washed out compared to the "next-gen", one would think that the Definitive Edition would be basically a porting of the PC version, and detail wise they stack up nicely, but it's noticeable a difference in color saturation and shader prominence (eg: the bit in the pipe tunnel –pretty noticeable– as well as cut scenes closeups of Lara's face).

    Getting bitter at colleagues is the wrong attitude, one should think what he can do better, or blame the company.

    Italy as well provides for education and healthcare with taxation… unfortunately quality of services have been declining steeply. (And youngsters are little unuseful shits.)

    Sjonsson: I think we got door-to-door from some other country, anyway it's very efficient and we don't have to walk to communal bins that get filled up with all the wrong things and never get emptied. The company collecting garbage is private (I think with council participation) and then they recycle. I'd be happy to pay and have the result we have now.

    Unfortunately they haven't figured this out for big cities and some areas (as you might have seen on TV in the past) still have garbage collection problems. (Well, also due to the fact they dunno where to put it cos dumps are filled.)
