Volevo aspettare di finire DA2 prima di parlarne, ma dopo 36 ore di gioco (e 111 a DA:O), penso di essermi già fatto una certa opinione, che devo dire è un sunto di quanto è stato detto finora. DA2 è un buon gioco action in cui è visibile a distanza siderale il lavoro di taglio fatto rispetto a Origins. Come dice il buon Minokin, che ha perfettamente ragione in questo, un buon crpg non si prepara in un anno (e pochi mesi), e quello che è stato fatto da EA/Bioware è stato semplificare all'osso la struttura di Origins per cavalcarne l'onda di successo: lo si vede negli ambienti (copia e incolla), nelle location da visitare (una città e i suoi dintorni contro il Ferelden nel primo), nelle possibilità di interazione col party (ridotte all'osso, niente più regali, niente più chiacchiere inutili, le interazioni sono relegate alle quest personali dei membri del gruppo) e con gli npc (scordatevi di evitare un combattimento o una certa piega nella storia con la diplomazia), nelle relazioni sentimentali (si può provarci con tutti, uomini e donne, in momenti e situazioni assurde, che nulla hanno a che fare con l'interpretazione del pg, e non per una questione di libertà sessuale, ma perché a detta degli sviluppatori "era più semplice così") e nella storia (una unica). Detto ciò, mi sta comunque divertendo come gioco action, non di ruolo, sicuramente più dei pochi giochi action che ho provato nella mia vita. Le quest, soprattutto le side, sono brillanti e profonde, i combattimenti ostici (anche se pure io ho notato un bilanciamento fatto coi piedi), l'ambientazione curata e approfondita (la storia dei Qunari e la loro società meriterebbe di per sé un libro a parte). La vera differenza, per quanto mi riguarda, è questa: da DA:O mi dovevo staccare a forza, da DA2 mi stacco naturalmente dopo un paio di ore di gioco per riprenderlo magari anche solo 2-3 giorni dopo. Se considero DA:O un gioco da 10 tondo, DA2 è da 7.

No, la scelta è stata fatta perché sarebbe stato "difficile" per il pubblico televisivo comprendere o accettare che un bambino o un adolescente facessero certe cose. Arya, in particolare, e Daenerys erano i ruoli che davano più "problemi" ai produttori, per cui si è deciso di aumentare nella storia raccontata dalla serie TV di 3-4 anni tutte le età dei bambini/adolescenti. Poi, secondo me, per alcuni ci sono riusciti meglio e per altri peggio, ma questo è un altro discorso.

Mancano due settimane alla messa in onda americana del primo episodio. Stanotte (ieri sera in America) la HBO ha trasmesso in anteprima i primi 15 minuti (o giù di lì) dell'episodio. Per chi vuole, sono nello spoiler qui sotto. Spoiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQykXOukM2Q

Io un primo complimento alla HBO mi sento di farlo per il lancio di A Game Of Thrones. Secondo me stanno facendo un lavoro spaziale. Vedi anche themaesterspath.com e gli scrigni da Maestro inviati ai vari giornalisti e blogger per introdurre il mondo dei Sette Regni. Nel frattempo, altri video. An Invitation to Westeros E due nuovi trailer. L'inverno sta davvero arrivando!

Sì, perché, dai che quest'anno non ci facciamo il regalo per S. Valentino, che è una festa stupida, che noi non ne abbiamo bisogno per dimostrare delle cose, che siamo lontani e così risparmiamo anche un po' di soldi per i nostri progetti, che ci sono cose più importanti nella vita. Però ... Brad Paisley - Love is never ending Seasons come and seasons go One day sun, the next day snow Flowers die and flowers grow But love is never-ending You can't kill it with goodbye It always finds a place to hide Inside your heart for your whole life Love is never-ending When the lights have all gone down It'll still be hangin' 'round Even when you think it's lost, it can still be found When every memory has been made And the pages start to fade And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound When you think the ride is over You're back at the beginning Love is never-ending When a man and woman start growin' old The fire of passion may grow cold But what they got still warms their soul Love is never-ending When the lights have all gone down It'll still be hangin' 'round Even when you think it's lost, it can still be found When every memory has been made And the pages start to fade And every prayer you ever prayed is heaven bound When you think the ride is over You're back at the beginning Love is never-ending It keeps goin' on and on Long after we're all gone away Time may change what you believe But one day the truth will set you free Just have faith and you will see Love is never-ending Love is never-ending http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlE2NoOyYZg Spoiler: P.S.: è una promessa.

Comunque sì, decisamente per noi in streaming. Ho già fissato un incontro con i faentini per il 19 (ché il 48 ore c'è più certezza di recuperarlo). Can't wait!

Aspetto il countdown. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSN9SrfGMkU Brad Paisley - She's everything She's a yellow pair of running shoes A holey pair of jeans She looks great in cheap sunglasses She looks great in anything She's I want a piece of chocolate Take me to a movie She's I can't find a thing to wear Now and then she's moody She's a Saturn with a sunroof With her brown hair a-blowing She's a soft place to land And a good feeling knowing She's a warm conversation That I wouldn't miss for nothing She's a fighter when she's mad And she's a lover when she's loving And she's everything I ever wanted And everything I need I talk about her, I go on and on and on 'Cause she's everything to me She's a Saturday out on the town And a church girl on Sunday She's a cross around her neck And a cuss word 'cause its Monday She's a bubble bath and candles Baby come and kiss me She's a one glass of wine And she's feeling kinda tipsy She's the giver I wish I could be And the stealer of the covers She's a picture in my wallet and my unborn children's mother She's the hand that I'm holding When I'm on my knees and praying She's the answer to my prayer And she's the song that I'm playing And she's everything I ever wanted And everything I need I talk about her, I go on and on and on 'Cause she's everything to me She's the voice I love to hear Someday when I'm ninety She's that wooden rocking chair I want rocking right beside me Everyday that passes I only love her more Yeah, she's the one That I'd lay down my own life for And she's everything I ever wanted And everything I need She's everything to me Yeah she's everything to me Everything I ever wanted And everything I need She's everything to me

Abbiamo una data per la premiere: 17 aprile! E un nuovo trailer, secondo me il più evocativo sinora. The Game Begins!

Si prepara davvero un ottimo prodotto. 10 minuti e rotti di "Inside of". A voi! P.s.: Aprile 2011.

Slipknot - Duality Spoiler: I push my fingers into my eyes... It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache... But it's made of all the things I have to take... Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside... If the pain goes on... Aaaaaaaah! I have screamed until my veins collapsed I've waited as my time's elapsed Now, all I do is live with so much hate I've wished for this, I've bitched at that I've left behind this little fact: You cannot kill what you did not create I've gotta say what I've gotta say And then I swear I'll go away But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise I guess I'll save the best for last My future seems like one big past You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice I push my fingers into my eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it! Put me back together Or separate the skin from bone Leave me all the Pieces, then you can leave me alone Tell me the reality is better than the dream But I found out the hard way, Nothing is what it seems! I push my fingers into my eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache But it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it! All I've got...all I've got is insane... All I've got...all I've got is insane... All I've got...all I've got is insane! All I've got...all I've got is insane! I push my fingers into my eyes It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache But it's made of all the things I have to take Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it!

Elliott Smith - Between the bars drink up, baby, stay up all night the things you could do, you won't but you might the potential you'll be, that you'll never see the promises you'll only make drink up with me now and forget all about the pressure of days do what I say and I'll make you okay and drive them away the images stuck in your head people you've been before that you don't want around anymore that push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still drink up, baby, look at the stars I'll kiss you again between the bars where I'm seeing you there with your hands in the air, waiting to finally be caught drink up one more time and I'll make you mine keep you apart deep in my heart separate from the rest where I like you the best and keep the things you forgot the people you've been before that you don't want around anymore that push and shove and won't bend to your will I'll keep them still

The Smits - Please Please Please let me get what I want Good times for a change See the luck i've had Would make a good man turn bad So please please please Let me let me let me Let me get what i want This time Haven't had a dream in a long time See, the life i've had would make a good man bad So for once in my life Let me get what i want Lord knows it would be the first time Spoiler: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5un1G6Ie5go

Ci sono canzoni che semplicemente resteranno dentro di te per sempre. E mentre ne rileggo le parole, mi avvisano che su un qualche sito ci sono in vendita i biglietti per il concerto di Justin Bieber. Who the fuck! Non letteralmente. --- Soundgarden - Blow up the outside world Nothing seem to kill me no matter how hard I try Nothing is closing my eyes Nothing can beat me down for your pain or delight And nothing seems to break me No matter how hard I fall nothing can break me at all Not one for giving up though not invincible I know I've givin' everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down and Blow up the outside world Someone tried to tell me something Don't let the world bring you down Nothing will do me in before I do myself So save it for your own and the ones you can help I've givin' everything I need I'd give you everything I own I'd give in if it could at least be ours alone I've given everything I could To blow it to hell and gone Burrow down and Blow up the outside world Want to make it understood Wanting though I never would Trying though I never would Blowing it to hell and gone Wishing though I never could Blow up the upside world

In partenza per Lucca. Il pensiero va a chi non potrà essere con me. Bacio. --- And no more shall we part - Nick Cave And no more shall we part It will no longer be necessary And no more will I say, dear heart I am alone and she has left me And no more shall we part The contracts are drawn up, the ring is locked upon the finger And never again will my letters start Sadly, or in the depths of winter And no more shall we part All the hatchets have been buried now And all of those birds will sing to your beautiful heart Upon the bough And no more shall we part Your chain of command has been silenced now And all of those birds would've sung to your beautiful heart Anyhow Lord, stay by me Don't go down I will never be free If I'm not free now Lord, stay by me Don't go down I never was free What are you talking about? For no more shall we part And no more shall we part
