Hm. Let's start with my friend's boyfriend problems. I'd really like someone to come with suggestions about how to advise a friend on how to get rid of a dangerous boyfriend. Really...I'd appreciate it, I can't seem to figure out a solution AND get it into her thick skull.
Now, onto 2 things that actually mean something: The FIFA World Cup and Dragon Age.
This world cup, I supported England, up until Germany kicked their asses anyway. So now, I have an ermm...this person I know called it a "grudge" against Germany. I'm now rooting for the Netherlands, since they beat Argentina. Well, maybe beat isn't the word. Rape seems more appropriate.
I never wanted Argentina, Brazil or Germany to come to anything in this World Cup. Two out of three isn't that bad I guess. Let's see if the Netherlands can be this year's champion.
NETHERLANDS MI TING DEH!
(Fun fact: The French flag can be obtained by turning the Netherlands' flag sideways. Compare. I learned that from the ship scene in a movie called Lord of War. The movie stars Nicholas Cage, who as regular readers know, is one of my favourite actors. Epic stuff, you should make an effort to watch it.)
Now, onto Dragon Age.
Dragon Age is just that addictive. So far, I've logged like 27 hours of gameplay. It is REALLY engrossing. The characters are well defined, the available choices you can take are diverse and the world is vibrant. It is EPIC!

My character is a City Elf rogue. I play with him more like a warrior though. He has high dexterity and decent strength, but I should do some work on his cunning, although its not bad. He's been lugging around this massive greatsword I got in Ostagar close to the start of the game. So far, I'm like 17% done with the game. That's what you call a reliable weapon.
Moving on to my other characters.
My Allistair is a TANK. I'm amazed there's still any of him left after the number of times he's been burnt, sliced, frozen, poisoned, trapped by roots, knocked down etc. I always make sure to get him the best armour though, since I know he's going to be eating the largest slice of damage pie.
しかし、私のモッリガンがとくい。
Translation: However, my Morrigan is my point of pride.
I have transformed her from a simple witch, to sword-wielding, D-cup wearing, Amazonian princess of badassness. She wields a greatsword (slightly weaker than the one my player character brings around). She can actually wear armour almost as heavy as Allistair. She also does most of the killing in the party, usually finishing off enemies with that ice spell she comes with (I forgot the name).
The final member of the team I normally bring around is Wynne. I got her fairly recently, but she's already an indispensable addition to the team. Her revival spell has saved my party's bacon many times when Allistair or Darrian (my player character) has been incapacitated.
I've been playing the part of goody two shoes so far. What a friend of mine recently pointed out to me was that Dragon Age and Mass Effect are unusual for Bioware RPGs as you don't really have good and evil, but rather the choice of being an agreeable guy or a really rude guy. It's true. If you think about it, you can probably see the progression from KOTOR with the well defined Light/Dark sides, then Jade Empire with the ambiguous Open/Closed Fist Styles to Mass Effect and Dragon Age that lack any REAL good/evil system, but are more karmic. By karmic, I mean that you don't actually get rated on a scale for your amount of evil/good, but rather, in game events are determined by the manner which you respond to certain situations (for example: insult a man at an earlier stage of the game and he comes back to murder you close to the end).

I think I've found a my new favourite chauvinist pig this morning. His name is Borgore. He's a dubstep artiste (although lots of Dubstep fans are insulted when people classify him as that). His lyrics are almost pornographic, definitely misogynistic. They never fail to make me laugh. Here's a quick selection of some of his songs:
