Batman - The Forgotten One

Yet another good movie got wasted on me. We went to see the new Batman (The Dark Knight Rises) today. Even though I really liked the film I often wonder what the hell is happening and who are these people.

So at the end I just questioned John for further details. "Haven't you seen the first movie?", he asked.
"You meant the first one with Christian Bale?", I asked suspicously.
"Yes", was his reply.
"Oh, sure, I've seen that. Don't remember much though... Or let's put it that way: the only thing I remember is that Christian Bale was in it."

I think that explains a lot.

I guess in two months time I won't remember this movie either. However after John's detailed explanation there might be hope for me.

Not amused

Today I'm flying to the Land of Huns. However this trip is as far from a holiday as it can be. My passport expires soon so I need to sort it out. That means sitting hours in the registration office and paying three times more than I could have paid if I go to the embassy here in London. That was the plan, but I haven't taken into consideration that they have absolutely no sense of urgency and the first appointment they could give me will be at the end of August. Also from there it still would be 5-8 weeks. Meh.

So in the next few days I'll be camping in my friend, Eni's lounge, and also be working as well so I won't need to take holidays.

I'm not amused...

Sooky in Kingsmouth

After playing for a week I must say I'm really addicted to The Secret World. Spent almost all my free time questing around, solving mysteries and killing weird creatures. Even when I was sitting in the office my mind kept wandering over the unfinished investigation from the previous night.

The Kingsmouth Code was especially great fun as I missed the first set of hints. By missed I mean I completely misinterpredted it. However I still got to the next location, but instead of following the actual sings, I started thinking what the place could be. I was the most surprised when I found out I was right. *Proud*

My character, Sooky, is progressing nicely. She looks really badass with two pistols hanging from her hips in the gunslinger style, and since she got herself a new pair of shades she really looks like some secret agent. Or maybe the female Horatio Caine... but without the actual dramatic look.

So far we only managed to do one dungeon, the one called Polaris, and I have to admit, I really enjoyed it. Got really surprised when I realised: can't just simply run back after dying. It was strange, yes, but just made the whole fight even more tense. The other thing I have only noticed after about 10 minutes was that some of my team mates were actually not from my faction. I play Illuminati, but two of our groupmates were Dragons. Nice, I thought, we can still be friends. That will surely make group finding easier.
