Mohammed, 21, Kuwait. I play videogames regularly, I watch movies casually and I drink coffee constantly. To extend upon this, my favorite game of all time is Super Metroid, my favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey (directed by Stanley Kubrick) and my favorite type of coffee is Nescafe. When I'm bored of life and games I'm usually reading in my bed, sipping through my own cup of misery. I work in a very dull environment surrounded by some very dangerous equipments that could blow the country to pieces. I dream of creating an 8-bit game with some interesting gameplay mechanics in which I already planned. But that's not gonna happen. That's why it's called a dream.

Eid purchases

  • Animal Crossing City Folk: while the design is minimalistic in opposed to Harvest Moon and the likes, I still like it a lot, and I think what makes it unique is this approach of design choice (that was chosen since the GCN installement). I’m sure that it’s a game which isn’t aimed for everybody, but I also can’t see why people won’t like it. Quality simulation games are really rare these days, so this is a breath of fresh air to me.
  • C&C Red Alert 3: It’s Red Alert, ‘nuff said. While I liked RA2 a lot, I didn’t want to pick RA3 because of the draconian DRM nonsense that EA forced in this game, but damn, I really couldn’t hold myself when I saw it setting on the shelf.
  • Infinite Undiscovery and The Last Remnant: I got both for 18 KD, but I decided to sell them instead because Square had really lost what used to make them so unique: polished games. I haven’t even started any of those, and after purchasing them (near-mint 2nd hand, by the way) I truly regretted that but, well, what can I say. If you’re interested in them, you can email me, and I’ll sell them for the same price I got them for. I may start TLR but, I dunno, with all the current releases I don’t see that happening.
  • What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, by Haruki Murakami: I’ll be starting it right now, though I’m sure it’s gonna be a good book since Haruki is a brilliant writer in my eyes.

Happy Eid, folks ;)
