Good morning/afternoon/evening/night stranger! Not sure when you'll be reading this or who will be reading this, but who cares, let's just talk about what I'm listening to right now!
So, everyone probably already knows about my passion for music, and that I had really bad taste for that. Or it wasn't really THAT bad, but yeah, it wasn't that good either. Life goes on, things change, and that's exactly what happened to me and my taste for music.
Hold on a bit... I guess I've never really talked about my taste for music here. I really NEVER told any of you (at least not here, maybe in chats) about what I listen. Just posted a random song or another that was stuck into my head. So, here goes.

Ever since I was a young kid name Gabriel (as if I wasn't anymore), a cousin of mine introduced me to Rock'n Roll and that's what I started to listen, as means of escaping from what people usually listen in my country (there's this genre called "sertanejo" here, which would be close to country in a way, but in a really bad way. Let's just put it as crap). Started out as that, but ended up being what I loved. Started with System of a Down, Evanescence and some other crap like that, which I still even listen to from times to times.
Then it changed. From 2008 to 2010 I started to listen to some electronic stuff, even dubstep and Drum & Bass got in the fun. Were bad times. I can't listen to those anymore (Ok, maybe Pendulum.), and I really never liked dubstep, but that was just something I did to break up with what I liked and try to get more social with people, listening to what they liked on those days.

Crisis. That's what happened. I just (yeah, out of sudden), decided that society sucked and that I should break with that. Thrash metal got in my life, as well as my taste changed to like something heavier and looked up into Folk Metal and stuff. Ensiferum is a good band (and look at that name! "Sword Bearer"! IT'S EPIC!). But that didn't really last long.
My friends weren't much into that, and at least on high-school you gotta have someone to talk to, else, boredom takes over and you just get fucked up by the depressive place high-school is. At least in Brazil.

My friends were into rock. Some of them liked Guns'n Roses, others Led Zeppelin. Some of them played the guitar and loved the way Hendrix or Clapton done it, so that's how they chose what they wanted to listen.
I played the guitar once, but wasn't much into that, so I didn't really pay much attention to that. All I wanted was something to calm down, something to chill and enjoy, maybe even something to sing along. I started to listen to Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Hendrix, Daft Punk, ZZ Top (booyah for my cowboy who introduced this one to me - our lovely Matty). Started with that, then got into some different stuff, more blues-ish, like B.B. King, Yardbirds, Elf. From Blues, got to some pretty mixed up tastes, like Pink Floyd, The Doors, Rainbow, Black Sabbath, Jethro Tull, Chicago... And that's what I listen to now.

I think that people should often try changing what they listen to, because the beauty in music is not to love one band or one genre deeply, but to have new experiences, try different stuff out (come on, it's not something that will end your life like drugs), and then see how wrong you were in liking something that, maybe, wasn't that good.

Yeah... I'm sorry for my absence in this website, I was quite busy with school stuff this last year, and then, when I wasn't, I was really busy playing games.

What did I find the most interesting last year? On the gaming side, the Indie part rised unstoppably, and some really nice creations came out, some of which everyone knows about (Orcs Must Die!, Bastion, Minecraft, Terarria, Dungeon Defenders, etc).

On my life? Yeah.... nothing really... I just was used by a girl, but nothing serious, I found out that my friends were real assholes, broke up every friendship I found useless and ended up with just 2 loyal friends, of which just 1 will study with me, as the other failed the school year.

What do I think of 2012? Wishes? Anything? I'm just interested on the movies so far, Dark Knight Rises, The Hobbit, The Amazing Spiderman... seriously, this year will be great on the movies side. On gaming? I basically don't look forward to any game so far, for mods, Cry Of Fear is my main interest.

So... cya around, I'll try to come back to the website and post stuff whenever I can, if you want to chat, just hit me up a friend request on Steam, that's where I waste my whole days.

That's right people. It is. Near.
Yep, the end of my vacation is near. 4 Days of freedom left. My world is gonna collapse. Everything will go boom.

Hmm... I guess that's it. Not sure what to write, but I just don't feel like leaving that other blog post here for more time.

PS: DEAD ISLAND IS ALMOST RELEASED ALREADY!!

If Christ can walk on water, Chuck Norris can swim on land.
Writing this because i'm damn bored.

For who doesn't know yet, there are lots of good games coming this year (and released too), like Crysis 2, Portal 2, Deus Ex Human Revolution, Dungeon Defenders, Battlefield 3, Magicka and so on.

Movies? Well I don't know, the only movie I still haven't seen that interests me this year is Source Code and the new Pirates of the Caribbean (bla bla bla, big name), not so interested in that Battle: Los Angeles, seems like a copy of Independence Day, but without comedy. I watched last week Fight Club and Black Swan (on the same day), which made me have some strange dreams (ya, Tyler Durden making an army of swans is strange) and watched also Shaun of the Dead (Great movie).

Videos in youtube are getting crappy too, I think that the only interesting one is Zangief Kid (I still laugh when I remember about that).

Just well... will leave you with some good music:

Have a nice life and enjoy remembering that 2012 is coming :D

BTW! SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THE EARTH ISN'T A SPHERE! CHECK THIS:

COMMENT!

Hey guys, I just bought some parts to mount a good PC, as mine was quite old already, so, I got an Intel Core i5 760, a new motherboard some ram and some other things, and hell yeah, I can now run every game that I want! Not maxed out, graphics card still can't hold badass games.

Also, do you guys know Dropbox? No? Check this site, register and help me getting more space there to carry my hentai minecraft saves always with me! Link: Dropbox.com

PS: We are still searching for Source Mappers for an incoming mod, if you are talented with Hammer and feel like helping us, please, contact me or Ninja[FIN] (DDguy in moddb) for more details. Here's a link to his profile: Moddb.com

Hey guys, here I am (again, i'm stupid and you hate me), and now I wanna ask you guys who read this blog to help me and Ninja[FIN] (aka DDguy, here in moddb) finding a singleplayer mapper, a GOOD AND SKILLED ONE (FOR SOURCE), if you feel interested, please contact him, or if you can't find him, contact me!

Have you ever thought of buying a xbox 360? Do you HAVE a xbox 360? How is it like? Which version should I buy? ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS NOW!

Ok guys, I'm thinking of getting a Xbox 360, but not to play on Live, to play singleplayer only, multiplayer? Only at PC, and live is expensive --'

The Model.
Well, I wanted this one:

Yeah, I know it's not possible ;( but anyway, This was a CLEAR JOKE, NO PORNOGRAPHY, I'm not violating any rules, I think.

So, back to the theme, Should I REALLY get it? I was thinking of Elite:

But I don't know if I will really use 120gb of HD, and black.. isn't the white prettier? Go Pro/Premium one:

Ok, what now... ah yeah, the 3RLoD (3 red lights of death), the most common problem with the Xbox, because it overheats and bla bla, making the things in it to melt and it sends an error code with 3 red lights on the ring, and it's the only thing that stands between me and this beauty...

Anyway, should I buy it? Buy or don't, theres the question.

I WANT ANSWERS!

Hey guys, i'm suffering from a big, a REALLY BIG lag, on any steam game (hell, even on day of defeat and counter-strike 1.6 -.-), it started two or three weeks ago, and it's really annoying, I can't play anything at steam, I can only talk with friends there, so it's getting really useless ._.

If someone is passing by the same problem, or if you found a fix for it, contact me please, i'm getting annoyed!

Hey guys, long time since first blog post huh?
Yeah, now i'm gonna post another one about my cat, just a picture of her, nothing in special :D
Ah and btw, my cat is a persian and on this photo she had 1 year and a half, now she is almost 3 years old.

Hey guys, this is my first blog post here on moddb (WOO) and I was thinking SERIOUSLY thinking of creating a mod (yeah, a simple HL2 mod), but I don't know about What, Where and When, the name that I was planning for using on it already exists (FFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU)and there is one more bad thing ( yeah...) I don't have a team or someone that can help me with those things, so It would be hard for me to do it alone.

So, any ideas? Post here anything that you think that can be used and if you are about to help me anyway, anything could help :)
