I'm glad they acted responsibly. I've seen it enough times where they threw a fit and then acted like nothing happened after the baby was born. Or after it wasn't born. If you catch my drift.

What are you first impressions thus far?

I'm not impressed by what i've seen so far. Doubt i'll end up getting it. Sadly i think the game has been very over-hyped by all the Call of Duty "fanboys" thinking they'll prove some sort of point to Activision after the initial release of the Infinite Warfare trailer. I am sure BF1 is going to have insane sales numbers, but the player base is going to decline sharply within the first few weeks.

Happens to me almost every day in Smite, regardless of my individual performance. Feels like i always get the teammates who don't know what they're doing.

After getting my 4th god Diamond on Smite i think it's time to take a break. My last few games have been pretty bad. Think i'm tilted a bit. I get excited to play Smite, but a few minutes into my first game i find myself getting annoyed at teammates who are complete potatoes. So i've been playing The Witcher 3 for the past day or so. I haven't really done anything "productive" yet. Just been exploring mostly.

I spoke to a South African lady last night. I was out having drinks with a few friends when i hear her a table or two away. I immediately recognized her accent. Later on i bumped into her on my way to the bar and we got talking. She mentioned how she was in here, and that she just couldn't take things in South Africa anymore. We talked and talked and at some point she told me that she misses the old days in South Africa. I was slightly confused and asked her to clarify, to which she said she misses the days of apartheid. Things were so much better back then, not just for her but for everyone she knew, and pretty much everyone she didn't know. "We (referring to black people) didn't have much, but at least we had something. At least when people abused and killed us it wasn't our own people." Was kind of an eye-opener. Things in South Africa had gotten so bad now that some black people actually miss the days they were slaves.

I'm pretty sure you have to be a citizen. Or you need a residence permit, or something of the sorts. It's something like: if you live in Canada as a permanent resident without having lived there long enough to get citizenship. But to get a residence permit you need a job first. So the only way to join the Canadian AR as a non-citizen, you need to live there as a permanent resident already. Something like that. The Canadian military is a bit more lenient than the US military in those regards. I don't think it's possible to join the US military as non-citizen, unless you're like a translator or something. It's the same for a few other countries.

I must be the only person to actually want to join the military, but is not able to. I've always wanted to join the Air Force. In fact, it's really the only thing that ever kept me going with the whole aviation thing. I wanted to either be a pilot in bombers like the B52 (or something similar), or fly cargo/transport in something like a C17 (by far one of my favorite planes). Problem is, the only Air Force i can realistically join in the South African one and i'd never do that. I've inquired about joining the USAF but they don't enlist foreigners. I think the Canadian AF does enlist foreigners, under certain circumstances, and the same goes for Australia. Kinda sucks.

Last night a friend of mine, who had been struggling with stomach cancer, passed away. He was so young. I can't believe it....

Tried playing Smite today. Big mistake. 3 games in and i was already tilted. Why do i always get teammates that are potatoes?

Lately i've been getting very lazy. I just don't feel like leaving the house as much as i used too. I've been wanting to buy the Season Pass for The Division for a long time now, and finally decided to do it yesterday. Well, i went to buy a gift-card to buy it on the PSN Store. So i get home, i buy the Pass, download the DLC, etc. It doesn't work. I know the DLC had a lot of problems on PS4, so i check for solutions, spend about 3 hours trying different solutions. Finally it occurs to me that maybe, just maybe, the fact that my PS4 account was created in the US and my game was bought in the Middle East might have something to do with it. Well, to make a long story short, it did. The fact that the game and the DLC are not from the same region made it incompatible. So i ended up having to buy the digital copy of the game. Basically wasted $40. Not a big deal, just kind of annoyed at myself for not really thinking about something like that.I also find it kind of stupid that this is even a thing. At least now i know. Won't be making the same mistake in the future.

When i was still living in South Africa, i used to train with an athlete who went on to compete in the 2008 Olympics, if i remember correctly. Or it might have been the 2012 Olympics. I could have easily been there with him had i not moved. Oh well...

Saw a post on Facebook by one of my (American) friends today. Read something like this : "Great, our first Gold Medal at the Olympics is for shooting." Found it quite humorous.

How on earth were you given enough anesthesia to make you woozy? Was it a very big mole? was it just cut out with a scalpel? Or was there some osrt of minor operation don? When i had a mole removed on my back i was given nothing but a small injection and it was cut out. Always seems to me like Americans are given enough anesthetics to put a fully grown elephant to sleep for the smallest of procedures. Anesthetics are a quick way to up that surgery bill too. I figured it had to be something like that. That kinda sucks.

Seems kinda disappointing to me. No real new content. I mostly play WD, and the only thing that really changed is switching out 1 or 2 items, but the build remains mostly the same. My Barb isn't changing at all, neither is my Crusader. I think my Wizard build might have actually got nerfed, i haven't really checked yet. I don't really play DH but i doubt DH really changed since last season. And it seems like Monks have gone back to Generator meta, which i find extremely boring. I think if i actually do play this season it'll be on my WD. I want to try push for mid 90s at least. Last season i made almost no progression. Season 5 my highest GRrift was 85, Season 6 my highest was 86 despite things getting easier/me finding better gear. But i really didn't play all that much anyway.

I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and was kinda shocked. I look like a hobo. Haven't shaved in about 3 or 4 months. Haven't had a haircut in at least 7 months. Things are getting out of hand.

When a white person does something in Kansas, there is a tornado in South Africa. You haven't heard this?? Lol white people being alive and living in South Africa is enough for our current government to blame anything on them. They're so anti-white it's sickening. To follow up on the Tornado, apparently there was a mini-Tsunami as well, and as a result of that some sharks ended up swimming around in a shopping mall. Kinda crazy.

Apparently there was a Tornado in my home town yesterday. Can't think that i've ever heard of a Tornado in South Africa in my life. Pretty weird. Waiting for the government to somehow blame the Tornado on white people.

When i played BF Hardline for the first time i was kind of amazed that Xbox could handle 64 Player lobbies. It's epic though. So much chaos on some of the maps. How are you enjoying it so far? What guns have you used/do you like? You have a favorite map yet?

I've been playing The Division a lot. The game gets so much hate from people who really just don't understand how hard it is to balance a game like this. But i think it's really good, and really fun. I'm enjoying it a lot.

They're only readily willing to talk about the issues when it's with fellow countrymen. If anyone else decides to join the conversation they'r quickly met with a "well your country does x and y wrong" or "well at least we're better than you are". I find it literally impossible to talk to any American about their country unless i'm willing to just not give my opinion at all. I think some of the past "conversations" on this site is sufficient proof of that as well. Basically, as a "foreigner" you either need to praise the US or not say anything about it at all. I can't say that i have ever had an even remotely similar experience with someone from any other country. But i guess there's a chance that i just always happen to meet the unpatriotic ones.

That thing is [bleep]ing terrifying. I wouldn't even be able to sleep knowing something like that is in my house, whether it's in a cage or not. Jesus christ. Do you ever like... play with it? Does it have a name? Do you think it has a personality like other animals have?

Finally home from Greece. Was a pretty rough 2 weeks. Long hours, not a lot of sleep, didn't eat well either. Really happy to be home. Got kind of fed up with the people i was living with as well. If they are a representation of "the average Greek", then i'm actually stunned. These people, although very nice and very kind, were also very ignorant and uninformed about so many things. I kind of got the impression that they were brainwashed by their government/media, after hearing some of the things they said.

So i bought an iStick Pico a few days ago. Not sure what the correct terminology is. Can't really call it an e-cigarette, but i guess people would refer to it as a "mod"? It's so much better than the old one i had. Sometimes when i exhale i get lost in the clouds of vapor.
