I just got through watching V for Vendetta on VCD, and it's undoubtedly one of the coolest movies ever. I can't even talk about it because it was so cool.

Then it got me thinking about how we always love hearing about stories, true or not, of heroes. Be it the amazing feats of a super-hero like Batman, Superman, or even V, or the heroic action of the local fireman. The reason is we know we're in trouble. We want someone to right the wrongs, to fix the errors in our twisted society, or our government, or whatever else have you. We want somebody to save us. And so writers, carried by these strong emotions of wanting, begin creating romantic stories of how some man, often extraordinary in ways, can protect us. And we, the public, buy the stories, in our own desire to be rescued.

What we forget though, is that a true story of such a beautiful, heroic act, has already been written. I'm convinced it is the most beautiful and perfect "super-hero" story that can ever be told. The world was corrupted, and was headed to absolute destruction because of its evil ways. A hero was sent to us, to right wrongs, and ultimately to die for us, and thus, save us from this destruction. This hero's name is Jesus.

I got to play PIU yesterday (Monday) at Sta. Lucia Metro East Grand Mall. It's sad, because it's been such a long time since I last played. I forgot almost all of my old freestyle routines. In fairness, though, I somehow became a better stepper. But again, I'm so rusty that I got so tired so easily. My thighs are throbbing as it is.

But it's good to see that PIU is still there.

I'm playing a new game... It's called Nostale. I know I play a lot of games, and I keep trying new MMORPGs and stuff. But I find some of these games enjoyable, until I find something annoying about them. For example, Trickster was so enjoyable, until it became a terrible grind. And from the looks of things, Trickster really is a grind game, considering the max level is 200. Not to say that grind can't be fun (I enjoyed Ragnarok Online grind), I don't have time to play a grind game, because I can only play an hour or so everyday, and probably not even every day. I just want to play a game that's interesting and fun all throughout, without having too many responsibilities, like having to level up, or keep up with an economy or whatever. That being said, I've put my GoonZu on hold for a while, because the game is so demanding without an interesting battle system. In other words, it stopped being fun for me a long time ago. I only log on now to do the buy and sell thing, which gets me some money sometimes.

Anyway about Nostale, it's an interesting game so far. I'll admit it's another grind game, but they did something cool about that. They gave us pets, making the battle system exciting from the moment you get a pet. I don't even mind the grind anymore, because I enjoy running around with my pet, and seeing how strong my pet gets.

Oh yeah, and I got a haircut the other day (Sunday). Let's just say I don't have much hair to speak of now. :)
