13 Jun Civilization 2 match predicts the future
Who would have thought... If you had the patience to play Civilization 2 long enough you would become a veritable Nostradamus and predict humanity's future.

03 Jun The secret life of the Little Mermaid
When people talk about the Little Mermaid they imagine the classic Disney big eyed doll, with perfect hair and a perfect prince, that will live happily ever after. But the original Hans Cristian Andersen story is one about choosing to suffer in silence. The Little Mermaid sacrifices her hypnotic voice in order to get a second chance at life - to become human and try to seduce her lovely prince, knowing that if she fails her charms, she will die after the prince's wedding. This is no ordinary fairy-tale and the prince turns out to be quite the contemporary douche-bag who needs a good flirt and not distant admiration, so the Little Mermaid ends up back in the sea, one with the waves, foam and water spirits.30 May A Portal Movie I Would Like to See (Video)

So he decided to move on. And he decided to appeal to the masses and just thrill them with everything that he could be.
07 Sep The Romanian seaside- time to come clean…
From time to time, you feel things deserve a second chance, you leave a place and swear never to return again and then it springs back in your mind and you develop a deep nostalgia towards it. That's when you return, hoping that everything has changed, that you won't be left with the same sour impression again. I myself swore not to return to the Romanian seaside after I visited Vama Veche two years ago. I could talk about my previous experience for hours, but this is not the aim of the current article. I am here to talk about what I found at the seaside this year, when late planning left me outside a possible trip to Greece. Tourism industry is a real jungle, don't you think?
