Oops......... =\ I didn't even notice that you turned 22... I dunno when you did... = =| I'm so sorry that it's too late now but I'd still like to say "happy birthday"! ^^

Oops... It's really long passages that I've posted, isn't it? =\ Sorry if those long passages have bothered you... =\

And nice games you're expecting. :P I'm quite glad that SH: Homecoming has been confirmed to be released on PC too. And yeah I've got the same worries about its quality. It's now being developed by Double Helix Games, which in fact is exactly the team who develped SH: Origins on PSP - Climax Group - while some new staff were added into them, so they got the team's name changed. I don't have a PSP, but from what my friends who have played Origins told me, the game quality did seem to be decline, especially in terms of the atmosphere. I'm still so confused why Konami doesn't let TeamSilent go on developing the series anymore. :\

I think I might get Far Cry 2 this fall, though it's no longer developed by Crytek. But I can give a try. And uh, so you're a shooter fan? :D If so, I still recommend trying Far Cry 1, which is regarded as the toughest FPS game to beat by many gamers. xD

And, I dunno if it's happened in Europe too, but tbh, once upon a time here in my country, some female players were even reported to sell their bodies (sexual deals you know o.O) in the real world to get some ingame weapons in such a virtual world... Crazy..., isn't it?

WoW can be really endless for those who're immersed in it, since Blizzard will always release new episodes. :P

I just can't agree with you more on how bad it'll be if one gets addicted to it. It's really easy to get addicted to online games I believe, since you must spend a large sum of money from the day 1 you play it if you want to truely enjoy your journey in such a big virtual world, cuz you need to upgrade your charater. Besides that buying the points cards is a huge drain on money, setting aside the time for sleeping to get missions finished faster than others do so as to upgrade faster can really be painful after staying up several nights. News said some ppl were even dead because of that... =\

Oh and oops I almost forgot to be back on the topic... xD Well, as for when that passion acutally began, I just don't know if 1992 was early...? I guess you're right though, since the passion for international football matches should have begun long after that (1992). I remember my friends were talkin' about Shenhua Team for the most of the time, seldom hearing of Chelsea or Arsenal Team b4.

Talkin' about Chinese and Korean WC3 palyers, yeah some of them are really terrifying. XD I can only see their fingers "flying" among the keys on the keyboard but never get a clear look of what key they've just pressed. xD

Hmm I guess the passion for football here in my rigion began around the time when I was 3 or so, and it might be even earlier though. :P I remembered my father was always watching football matches and he used to be a fan of ShenHua Team (It's a team belonging to Shanghai - our city you know. ^^). The team used to be great (by the general standard of the field of Chinese football xD) but from some time on, they started sucking. =\

Back that time, I was watching football matches all day long as well, along with my dad. But perhaps it was b/c the skills of Chinese teams didn't impress me much and my dad is always only interested in domestic matches, that eventually I failed to gain an interest in football, unlike other boys. xD

That sounds nice, actually. TR3 :). I think I already told you my thoughts about TR3.
I didn't know you initially started playing TR on a PS. It must have been a whole change to go to PC, huh? Then again, TR3 and TRA controls (on PC) vary a lot as well, so I guess it kind of comes to the same. Except if you're used to only playing games on PS, however I remember you telling me that you were a long-time gamer, so I guess you didn't start out with PS games.

Btw, dude, have you ever heard a song called "You Oughta Know" performed by Alanis Morissette? :P

Thanks for the info :D. That seems to make sense, since it is true that there are some additional parts in a continuous run, like the bear after Mountain Caves. Thanks for the heads up on that TombRunner site, I'll be checking those out so bad :P.
Did you run any other Tomb Raiders?
