This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of understanding themselves as I had: they could be their natural selves, whereas I was to play a part, a fact that would require considerable understanding and study. So it was not my maturity but my sense of uneasiness, my uncertainty that was forcing me to gain control over my consciousness. Because such consciousness was simply a steppingstone to aberration and my present thinking was nothing but uncertain and haphazard guesswork.”  Yukio Mishima, Confessions of a Mask.

Video Games Magazine Issue 8, March 1983 - Welcome to the Club! An amazing article written by Ann Kreuger about the role of Women in developing video games.

Here’s a good start:

In my research, I turned up 15 women in positions that are not related to promotion, publicity or advertising.

In the article she talks with Dona Bailey, one of the creators of Centipede, Sue Forner, an artist on Professor Pac-Man, Janice Hendricks who designed the art for Joust, Lynda Avarett, Sue Currier and Roberta Williams.

Wow!

It’s sad that Roberta Williams’ (an absolute genius, by the way) comments on the game industry, even with more women actively working in the field, remaining male-dominated were disturbingly prophetic. I find it maddening that this is still an issue 30 years later.

Metro: Last Light Horror Gameplay Footage (by IGN)

I played Metro 2033 and even though it was a pretty good looking game and had a lot of potential i felt frustrated due to the uneven difficulty at some points. If one guy found you then everyone knows where you are. The scary parts were really scary though and the atmosphere was amazing.

Im afraid it could be the same here, pretty  and scary but unforgiving at times.

On the subject of coffee and tireness

I love coffee. I really, really like it. I like it soft rather than strong, with or without milk is ok and slightly sweet is also good :’3 

I like it so much that i used to drink three full cups in the mornings and sometimes one or two more in the afternoons (maybe i should learn self control @_@)

But, lately i had been having insomnia and felling pretty tired after waking up in the mornings. Maybe the coffee was not all to blame, lack of physical activity has a part on it i guess, but i decided to stop consuming it as an experiment.

Now i have been coffee-less for a week and after three days with endless headaches and feeling like crap i’m feeling quite well and energetic.

Something curious i noticed is that whenever i got a headache in the afternoon and later went to the gym it just went away, especially if i did hard weight lifting exercises. Why was that?
