<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the author the third book will be last book of the Cassan series. I'm a little bit sad about it, because I very enjoyed the first two book, and I have high hopes toward the CassaStorm also. I hope a I won't be disapointed!</span></div>

It was almost a week ago when HBO broadcasted the actual episode of Game of Thrones with the title of 'Second Sons'. It is a very funny coincidence, because my second son, Mátyás (Matthias) was arrived. 24th May 2013 if I wanted to be preceise.</div>

<strong>3 years ago</strong><br />It was a bright sunny day in that warm afternoon, when I arrived from the work to the greengrocer to meet my family. We bought many vegetables and fruits for ourselves then we got on the bus. Our children were very tired after the exhausting day, so when we got off the bus they were in my wife and my arms... with the bags and pouches.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After we had arrived at home realized something is missing. One of the golden ear-rings of my daughter, Annamária. When we left it and how? We were very anxiuous about it, because she had got it from her grand-grandmother and it wasn't a cheap bijou.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The very next morning I went to my work. I had a faint hope my daughter had lost her ear-ring at the bus stop where we had got off the bus. The pavement wasn't entirely covered by asphalt. It was fragmented, and a huge hole completely filled with dust and sand. I crouched to investigate the ground... when my eyes caughted a small twinkling. It was the lost ear-ring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong>Yesterday</strong>The heavy snow had started cover the roads, the treats and everything when I got into my cars at my workplace. I intented to pick up my family and drop them to my daughter ballet-course. I then I received a desperate phone call from my wife. She had lost her wedding ring. I said her to calm down and search a little bit more, but she didn't found it. The snowing hadn't stopped...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I met them a parking lot and drop my daughter to her ballet-course, and after it I went back the scene where my wife lost her wedding ring. It was also bus stop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My wife has curently on diet and the weather was cold enought the ring could fall off her finger. It was bounced one on the pavement, then rolled into dirty grass covered by snow. When we arrived back to the scene I had a bad feeling about we never found my wife ring. We had searching about 10 minutes, I combed out the ground my times, my fingertips were freezed by the cold snow... when I finally found it. My wife was very happy and I too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But day wasn't over yet. When we arrived home my wife found a half-soaked paper at the snow of the parking place. It was 10.000 Hungarian forint (~40USD).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
(My fingertips are still aching when I'm typing this blog entry.) </div>

This is <a href="http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Alex J. Cavanaugh</a>'s Top Ten Movie Coundown Blogfest. I'll cheat a little bit, because I won't name my favourite movies... instead of I'll write about my most mentionable movie experiences in the time being. The order isn't important.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Batman</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As I remember <b><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096895/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Batman</a></b> was the first movie I ever see in a cinema. Tell the truth the place were I saw Batman was rather a cultural center of a small town (near to my hometown) than a movie theatre, but it was a great experience. The whole place was totally full, you couldn't find a free seat. As I remember we received some Batman poster from the director of the place, which was photocopied from an movie magazine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This movie was a great hit that time, and I enjoyed very much. I loved the Batmobile, the cool gadgets, Batman, (Kim Basinger as well) but I'm afraid from the Joker. I think this was my first geek-movie experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Puss in the boots</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watchin the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0448694/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Puss in the boots</a> was the occasion, when I was a movie theatre with my daughter. And there were nobody at this room but us, my daughter and me. Annamária was only 4 that time, but she enjoyed it very much. After the film, at the credits she started dancing before the movie screen. It was funny!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Nascar 3D: The IMAX experience</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first 3D experience in the movie theatres was the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0353774/?ref_=fn_al_tt_4" target="_blank">Nascar 3D: The IMAX experience</a>. It was an 40 minutes documentary on the big screen. I always love cars, the racing, however my all-time favourite is the Formula 1, but enjoyed very much this film. I can realy feel the whole Nascar environment, the pulse and the feeling of it. I'd like to rewatch it sometime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Matrix</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">The Matrix</a> was the bigest suprise I ever meet in cinemas! I know almost nothing about this movie before watching it. I hadn't got internet connection at home, and I saw just one trailer (I didn't understand a single word about it). The plot was awsome, as the tricks as well. Unfortunately the sequels ruined the whole Matrix-universe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Watchmen</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a geek I'm a big fan of comics. The <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Watchmen</a> was a blind spot to me. When I first saw the character posters I think to this film as a parody of Batman. But after I had do some research and bought the the comic books as well. The unique viewpont and the strange characters made this movie the best comics-based movie I ever see! I can't tell what I loved most about it, maybe everything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I remember the day when I saw the Watchmen. It was a cloudy spring night when the light rain knocking on the top of my rabbit-fur hat. I almost felt all pain of Rorschach as it walking under the rainy, clouded sky.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Avatar</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The movie you mustn't miss in a 3D cinema! Unfortunately if you remove the 3D and CGI environment you got almost the same as the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114148/?ref_=sr_1" target="_blank">Pocahontas</a>, not more. The <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Avatar</a> wasn't a bad movie, however there were much better movies at that time, without 3D. It was also a big hit, but unfortunately it hasn't followed by the same quality 3D movies. If you know at least one, then named it!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Star Wars IV: A new hope</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Funny, but the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Star Wars IV: A new hope</a> was one of my worst movie experience. It's not because of the film, or 'Greedo first-shoot' scene. The cinema was full of people, I just got ticket to 2nd row from the screen. The seat was very unconfortable... Moreover the couple behind me said I should stay low, because they didn't see anything because of me. I couldn't find the best position to watch the movie, strech my legs, staying low, so it was very unconfortable and unpleasant movie experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Saving private Ryan</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had my World War 2 movies on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VHS" target="_blank">VHS</a> format at home. The <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120815/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Saving private Ryan</a> was a school-movie experience, when the whole secondary school visited the cinema. It was interesting to me the teachers let us watch this brutal movie. We just 14-18 years old that time. Saving private Ryan isn't my favourite WW2 film, but it has to watch too!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Rock</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Can you name a good film with Nicolas Cage recently? I don't think so, but the middle of the 90's he were in many good movie (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119094/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Face/Off</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118880/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Con Air</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">The Rock</a>). Why I like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">The Rock</a> movie so much? Not just because of Nic Cage, but Sean Connery, The Alcatraz, the Hummers. I think this was one of the last real action movie.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Valami Amerika</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you see from the previous items of my list, I primary watch action-based movie in the cinemas. I think watching a romantic/comedy in cinemas is throw money out of window. Of course there were some exceptions. One of the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303184/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1" target="_blank">Valami Amerika (A kind of America)</a>. Unfortunately the Hungarian movie industry is poor, and the quality of films also. But this one was like a secret gem and gave my faith back to the Hungarian movie industry.<br />

As you all know <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/user/RaveAir" target="_blank">I'm a big fan of boardgames</a>. I love almost kind of boardgames which are more than roll a die and step as many as the die shows. Rolling dice are fun, but I love more exciment, when I have oportunity to control the events throught my deceisions. However you can find the luck element in every game.<br />
According the announcement of this video, 30th March will be the International TableTop Day. Because it'll Saturday I almost sure I'll play some kind of boardgame with my wife and children.<br />
<br />
I'm very excited about our future choice, what we will play that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Do you have favourite boardgames? Do you will play that day? And if your answer is yes, then what'll you choose?<br />

<b>Movie</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My three years old son had never been in cinema, but last week we went to watch a movie, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446192/" target="_blank">The Rise of the Guardians</a>. He and my daughter enjoyed very much the show, however I had small problems with it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5FA489Vrv5aNSOWPpDvHOss2wWkjUBxxSGmRVZUqZdUkrTtWjPsbEaoYYGz36NQmED3qbMkFEjswArVighumn6apdQ_tvjX9yILKcq99xQhGED0KTWVz4lcfTx29i2xNoCG52Zk9tt_I/s1600/ot-legenda-head.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5FA489Vrv5aNSOWPpDvHOss2wWkjUBxxSGmRVZUqZdUkrTtWjPsbEaoYYGz36NQmED3qbMkFEjswArVighumn6apdQ_tvjX9yILKcq99xQhGED0KTWVz4lcfTx29i2xNoCG52Zk9tt_I/s320/ot-legenda-head.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The Rise of the Guardians is for Americans. Some of the 'heroes' are mostly unknown or uncommon (Jack Frost, Sandman, Tooth fairy) for the Hungarians. Santa Claus visit the children in 6th of December, not Chrismas Eve (then a baby Christ coming with the presents).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. The story was in the usual frame/template. We got almost nothing new, we got the well-know storyline with supriseless twists.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In spite of these this movie was fun, not just the kids, but for me as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Film</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During my long winter holiday (I have been home from 14th December... with the children.) I have time to watching films. I deceided to rewatch a great classic from my childhood, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093507/" target="_blank">The Masters of the Universe</a>. I had good memories when I first saw the adventures of He-Man. That was the day when I got my first Kinder Suprise! I remember how angry I was when the guests arrived and I had to cancel to watch that film...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxv3zTPJeu5gGQ0b7Nr2h3jJBwG8rOzFdpQAGU756_VOV3PTJBMsOfd_8XdbT7midluD2qk0k8etYaWUU5TYaYCfxCnUBIXVbMumP7feC5tlVrwqjsFsd0NWATMX7t1_rCaQVe1f184Q/s1600/mastersoftheuniverse.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQxv3zTPJeu5gGQ0b7Nr2h3jJBwG8rOzFdpQAGU756_VOV3PTJBMsOfd_8XdbT7midluD2qk0k8etYaWUU5TYaYCfxCnUBIXVbMumP7feC5tlVrwqjsFsd0NWATMX7t1_rCaQVe1f184Q/s320/mastersoftheuniverse.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rewatch of The Masters of the Universe was shocking. The storyline, the costumes, the acting were ridiculus, but I still loved it. It was a little bit strange with complete dubbing, because first I watched one-man-dubbing on terrible monoton tune, with many missed or untranslated sentences.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I watched other films too (<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667353/" target="_blank">Mirror Mirror</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1667353/" target="_blank">The Dictator</a>, <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1611224/?ref_=sr_1" target="_blank">Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter</a>, etc) , but I don't want to blogging about them.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Series</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I finished with the 4th season of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644/" target="_blank">Fringe</a>, and I started to watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1119644/" target="_blank">Farscape</a> (with the children) and <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/" target="_blank">Lost</a> (with my wife). Fortunatelly my wife and me both hate the Christmast movies on tv, so we quickly finished the first season of Lost.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I won a <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16181165-10---sfmag-fantasztikus-irodalmi-antol-gia" target="_blank">short-story/novel collection with 10 writtings</a> from a Hungarian publisher. It wasn't bad, but I wasn't fully satisfied with it. Somehow my favourite writtings from the 10 haven't won any awards, while the others yes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I loved the story about the local superheroes in the Budapest's city steampunk version. The sour end of the novel - unfortunatelly - trully reflect the real Hungarian people.</div>

November was simply busy, but December is exhausting also...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Hungary the national (annual of the revolution) and religious (Christmas) holidays have a special national treatment. If a holiday day in Tuesday or Thursday than we get the Monday or Friday for "<i>free day</i>", so it expand a little bit the weekends. But it have a negative effect of it also: there are some Saturday when we have to work these mentioned "<i>free days</i>".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let see the modified agenda of December:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1st December was a workday (for exchange of the free 31 December)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15th December was a workday (for exchange of the free 24 December)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Is this common in your country too?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was at home these Saturdays but it didn't mean any relaxing, because I was so bold to ask out the little ones from nursery and kindergarden. Moreover 8th December we were at a Christmas party held by the company where I work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6th December was the Santa Claus day, when we put candies, nuts, chocolate Santa Clauses and toys to the boots of kids. Then we started to buy gifts for Christmas and to my daughter birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I left 8 days off to end of December which means I have been at home from 15th December. Yes... I was also too bold to ask out the children from nursery and kindergarden, so I have been at home alone with them. It's exhausting...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I had a plan to pay computer games, reading books, watching series and films, but some of these plans go to the trash.</div>

As you saw I was totally inactive at last month. Lot of things happened with me and my family.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lets start with the most important: my wife is pregnant. Again. The doctors predicted the "Third One" to the end of May. Our small flat will be really crowded. Not just only with baby cry, but with 3 children.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I finished my short short story for the contest, but I was not entirelly happy with it. I think I had a very good core idea, but the 22,000 characters were too less. Unfortunatelly I left the spice from it because of the thickening the story. I had too much expectation about it, but it was good for start. Maybe next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't statisfied with my other running projects as well. I won't finish the translation of Sacred 2 this year. My boardgame designing project also stranded. Borned new ideas, but nothing serious.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week I bought a boardgame, which was on my wishlist for a while: <a href="http://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/34119/tales-of-the-arabian-nights" target="_blank">Tales of the Arabian Nights</a>.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My colleauges invited me to a Basketball Business League, so I has been playing to basketball championship this year. Due to the late night match schedules it doesn't cause any problem to my family. (My daughter has 2-2 ballet-dancing and swimming course a week, which is also modified our family calendar.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope December will be much untroubled and not so busy.</div>

One of the most easiest and popular boardgame in every corner of the world is the <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgamefamily/17/ticket-to-ride" target="_blank">Ticket to Ride series/family</a> (Zug um Zug at Germany). You can play it with friends or play with against artificial intelligence of a phone, tablet or personal computer. But the real fun when you play it with your friends gathering around a big table.</div>

<span style="text-align: justify;">If you not familiar with boardgames or you not like them, then you can still give a chance for the <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/9209/ticket-to-ride" target="_blank">Ticket to Ride</a> or the </span><a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/14996/ticket-to-ride-europe" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">Ticket to Ride Europe</a><span style="text-align: justify;">. I have the Europe version of it, because it add a little more spice to the gameplay. I won't introduce all of the rules, I just wanted to tell about this game briefly.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The major components:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- 45pcs (+3 reserve) plastic trains in 5 colour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- 3pcs stations in 5 colour</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- main destination cards</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- regular destination cards</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
- a gameboard with a map on it</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The goal:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You draw 1 main destination card and 3 shorter destination card in the begining of the game. You have to keep the main destination card and choose least 2 shorter destionation cards from the 3, and this will be your primary goal. You have to build train routes with the help of the train cards. Each route have a value. If you accomplish the building of a route between the to city indicated on the card you'll give the point. If you not, you will loose that amount. At the end of the game the most points win!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The rules are quite easy, but the fun factor of this game is high. With this game you can easily know the major city of Europe (or USA at the original version), you can build long train routes and defeat your fellow players.</div>

I have mixed feelings today, the day of the <b>10th aniversary</b> of the first airing date of the cult-series, <b>Firefly</b>. We can be thankful for the FOX to ordering and sharing with us this great adventure. I liked almost every moment of the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0303461/" target="_blank">Firefly</a>. But shame on you FOX for mixing the order of the show and after the dropping rates cancelling our entertainment!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2-g4d-0YXhSmS_vtw9vkOqsGVajZ33o-fOADAmwcIb4_52vO1k-9fcZEW8ynPufH6mRXpLKMNmz74KxmdWsKOItM4HGsgME0W50eXON0q08ft8o_PVndsiaSLZb1R7yQiGLUnGOoV70/s1600/firefly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="210" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO2-g4d-0YXhSmS_vtw9vkOqsGVajZ33o-fOADAmwcIb4_52vO1k-9fcZEW8ynPufH6mRXpLKMNmz74KxmdWsKOItM4HGsgME0W50eXON0q08ft8o_PVndsiaSLZb1R7yQiGLUnGOoV70/s320/firefly.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I wasn't a big series-follower that time when I saw this one first. I was just a casual tv-viewer, who somedays watch a show or two. But the Firefly (and the Prison Break) was a real breakthrough... I became an addict for series. Most for the science fiction shows of course.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
It wasn't an easy case, because I infected my wife as well. First she was unwilling to watch with me the first minutes but after she joined to me, and wanted to start over again. And after an episode she wanted to see another episode. It was crazy! We watched the whole season in a week. But after the last episode and the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/" target="_blank">Serenity movie</a> we both felt a big emptyness and a slight disappointment. We didn't want tbis end...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We wanted get back Mal, Jayne, Inara, Kaylee, River and the others back. The Firefly was a real milestone in our (my wife and me) relationship. We felt love into the sci-fi and/or sci-fantasy series, and our big journey continued with the Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica and other shows as well. But this is another story to tell...<br />

I deceided to participate my blogger-friend, the author of some great great books, Ninja Captain <a href="http://alexjcavanaugh.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Alex J. Cavanaugh</a>'s actual blogfest, the Genre Favorites Blogfest. I'll try to use out the advantage of the local timezone and finish my post before the others. I've admit I was lazy to wrote it before, so I'm writting it now live, without any pre-schedule.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b>Favourite genre of MOVIE:</b></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I knew as I looked to the first category it means very big problem to me, because I love more than 1 genre, but I have to choose 1 of them. At the first round I reduced my favourites to three: fantasy, sci-fi and based on comics. Maybe this third category doesn't exist so I deducted that one from the list. I'm still before the big decision because definatelly hard to vote one of my favourite. Maybe I'll break the rules when I say <b>draw between fantasy and science fiction</b>. Below you can see my reasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fantasy:</b> If you look into the past and try to find good - I mean really good - fantasy films you can find only one film (or filmseries) The Lord of the rings. But if you look in to the things deeper you can found other good films from the past. I have to mention only the classic, the one-and-only real Star Wars trilogy. It's a classic fantasy with knights, magic, valor and princess... but in space environment!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sci-fi: </b>I've admit I love the space and I love the science, but not every movie takes place in space means it's science-fiction (see Star Wars). I love the sci-fi movies when I have to thing about consequences of decisions, or think about the realisticness of the future. Sometimes I fell like we're already live in the future with great gadgets, but it's also cause a horrible feelings to. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b>Favourite genre of MUSIC:</b></h3>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was the easiest choice...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Rave: </b>I still love rave music, and I can't explain why. Maybe about the rawness and the high BPM. These style really fast... Unfortuntely it's completely die to the 21st century, and the UK happy hardcore or much slower electronic musics are pure mockeries. I embeded one of my favourites:</div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Jw590aDsKc" width="420"></iframe>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b>Favourite genre of BOOKS:</b></h3>
I didn't allow myself the luxury to pick more than one favorite genre, so I choiced:<br />
<b>Fantasy:</b> This genre give me the most pleasure and entertainment. I can completely switch-off my mind and I can imagine anything. While the sci-fi give some borders to a story, in the case of fantasy there are NO barriers. Luckily in genre of fantasy I can find the pulp-fiction and high-concept fantasy as well. I know I have to recite the name of great authors like Steven Erikson and George R. R. Martin, but as I sad I like the lighter books from authors like R. A. Salvatore or Elaine Cunningham. And I would be unfair if I have don't mention the writer of the mind-blowing Dark Tower series, Stephen King.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<h3>
<b>Guilty pleasure genre of movie:</b></h3>
It was also a hard decision... to choose a music genre (trance), or a book genre (sci-fi, detective stories or steampunk), but I choiced the previously mentioned<br />
<b>Comicbooks adaptions from movie category:</b> At the past 3-5 years the comicbooks adaptations were the greatest hits to me. Due to the development of movie creating technologies these kind of films improved a lot, and we can believe these things can be real. We can see our childhood heroes on the big screens of movie theathers, and we don't think they're lames as we think the early Batman movies/series. Now we can believe Tony Start is a real person, Peter Parker able to walk on walls and the Avengers able to defend our planet at the end.<br />
But I must admit the older comicbooks heroes have an ancient, nostalgic charm. We could love the old Batman and Superman with their underpants on their paints. And I still love the noir-feeling Sin City as the alternative history from the cold-war period of the Watchmen.<br />
<br />
It was my post about my favorite genres. Maybe I should had found some other pictures and youtube videos to decorate the post, but I have to 5 hours left to early get up. So, maybe next time... ;)<br />
<br />

I have admit I quite lazy about doing things. Mostly I like spent my sparetime with passive thing with watching series/film or reading books. But I'm running some projects pararell in my active sparetime, and I'd like to tell some words about them in my blog. I put it them different categories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Boardgame</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because my whole family is a gameboad geek nest, it's almost obvious I'll try to do something like that. In my previous post I wrote about the bedtime tales spiced with a small portion roll/role-playing. I came to the conclusion I'd like to improve it further, with creating a map, with random events and 'children-friendly monsters'. It's a little bit funny, because many bad, horrible thing happens in the tales. There you can find hereos and the enemies of the heroes (villains, monsters, other bad things). There are many confrontations which have to solve with force or use of the cunningness of the mind. I'd like to implements these items and factors to my boardgame. I'm in the very beginning of it, but I have many good ideas and concepts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Translation</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At the past I translated many computer games from English to Hungarian. Translating things to my native language is not so hard thing, it only depends on the understanding of the original texts, and write them on Hungarian. Usually I have freedom enough to from the things as I'd like. There were some non-official translation (I did them voluntary without any payment from anyone) where I didn't translate everything words by words, and I Hungarising the texts not translating.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgOSBmrZypsB0ISj5ciWCAbpzaYqOFaddQTj0zLqKC0fL9uSVD5nKNZuyz2Vn_0Z4aOpOZW8KXrB9aJ8xiFU9Tj79amBrPHnnelsdh6OXor0xaCrlPpntKsDIDx0BwNOHAQRFe3KmgJds/s1600/sacred2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgOSBmrZypsB0ISj5ciWCAbpzaYqOFaddQTj0zLqKC0fL9uSVD5nKNZuyz2Vn_0Z4aOpOZW8KXrB9aJ8xiFU9Tj79amBrPHnnelsdh6OXor0xaCrlPpntKsDIDx0BwNOHAQRFe3KmgJds/s320/sacred2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My last official translation was the <a href="http://www.sacred2.com/" target="_blank">Sacred 2: Fallen Angel</a>, which is an Diablo-clone. The creators of the game were German, which means the original texts were German too. First the developers translated the texts to English then sent them to the translators of many countries to modify the texts to their language such as French, Italian or Hungarian. It was interesting because we got the original German texts are well, and we saw there are many difference compared to the English. So we had some hard, cumbersome time with the translation of the game, but the final product was really great. At the end my colleauge and me translated nearly 1 million English words to Hungarian.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunatelly the Hungarian distributor didn't agreed the term of distributing of the expansion of the game, so you can't buy Sacred 2 Ice & Blood and Gold from the local shops. We didn't get any support from the developers of th troubled company. We had offered them to translated the texts of the expansion for free, if we got translation tools but they refused.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But a German team wanted to pimp the game for the fans. They added to the game new monsters, quests and texts which means they've got a translation tool. Fortunatelly I got it from them, so I can export and import the texts I like. Now I'm at the 2/3 of the texts of the expansion. I hope I'll finish it this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Novell</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaMwtzv1zvLX1xl3Xx6JKKnZOLzpL7Rq0U_uQ6WM18lW2lJzNMHTDdtCf-7TIt7vcAz8uG4eBZwUeUNmdLO1nhnwAo-W_V3owBhB24mW-nACzCM1cY6IdeLt0UBShhGUn8DSkCYkVCPk/s1600/sheriff.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaMwtzv1zvLX1xl3Xx6JKKnZOLzpL7Rq0U_uQ6WM18lW2lJzNMHTDdtCf-7TIt7vcAz8uG4eBZwUeUNmdLO1nhnwAo-W_V3owBhB24mW-nACzCM1cY6IdeLt0UBShhGUn8DSkCYkVCPk/s200/sheriff.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I deceided to participate a novell-writing contest. I have to write a short novell with 5000-20000 words in fantasy or sci-fi genre, but in western style (like Firefly). In the story itself must be a sheriff, a priest and a dynamite. I almost finished with it, but there lot things to do with it. BUT, I knowing myself well enough to rewrite the story every time, when I look into it.</div>

And after a successful diceroll she miss the encounter, or it turns out the another animal is just a rabbit (not from the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071853/" target="_blank">Monthy Python and the Holy Grail</a>.) :)</div>

They like rolling the colorful dice. I have many tiny 6-sided dice in many colors, as I have d4, d10, d12, d20 and d100 as well. So I have many opportunity to change the way of the tales. I think - in that way - the line is very thin between the roll-playing game and role-playing game. After I have finished a tale I mix the dice, and suggest to my daughter and son to collect together the same colors as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinderella" target="_blank">Cinderella</a> did in the tale. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately my wife doesn't like these kind of games, and kids are too young for a complex game yet, but maybe about 2-3 years later they will play with me. Maybe not Dungeons & Dragons or M.A.G.U.S, but something similar rpg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A little bit strange, but my wife loves my stories which I tell the children. I'm trying to not put freaky or too bad things to the tales. But I think many tales of Grimm and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hungarian_mythology" target="_blank">Hungarian folklore</a> are simple horror stories. They can frighten the children.</div>

What do you think about the horror content of the classic bedtime tales? What do you think about my 'new-style-bedtime-storytelling'?</div>

Friday my wife and me travelled to my parents and left there our children, because we were ahead a quite busy weekend. It was a pleasent ~250km long drive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spent the <b>Saturday</b> morning with cleaning and cooking some cakes for the <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987/arkham-horror" target="_blank">Arkham Horror boardgame </a>party. These preparation was exhausting, but luckily we just finished with everything just in time. The <b>Arkham Horror</b> boardgame party (with four of my twitter-friends) had took almost 5 hours long. It was a very interesting and exciting cooperative game, but unfortunatelly Cthulhu defeat us at the end. I enjoyed very much my first cooperative boardgame experince, with fighting against strange demonic monster in the dark city of Arkham. I think I want to get this game, but unfornatelly it's a little bit expensive.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Sunday </b>morning I had to get up early (6 a.m.) because I got a ticket for the Hungarian<b> Formula One</b> race from a friend of my wife. Thank you Adrienn!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Saturday evening was a big storm, which only calmed down to the next morning. The rain still spat, so after I had fueled my car I went to buy a raincoat. The way to the race track wasn't as crowded as I expected. I was lucky and found parking place easily. When Adrienn and me arrived the rain stopped... and the hot and deadly ray of the sun started to roast us to red. Unfortunately the path from the gate to our seat was very muddy and slippery, so it wasn't easy to go up and down downs around the track.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We found our seats just in time, so we could enjoy the first race event of the day, the GP3 race with one Hungarian driver. He was on the 14th place on the starting grid, but thanks for the wet race track and the well-timed change of tires he finished at the podium, at the 3rd position. Unfortunately it was the most exciting race of the day...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To the second race, with GP2 drivers, the race track was almost dry, so the racers didn't have to change tires during the race. Due to this the number of overtaking dropped drasticly and we saw a boring race.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before the main event, the Formula 1 race, we saw a so-called Porsche Supercup race too, but this was also eventless. That followed by the parade of Formula 1 drivers. They travelled a whole lap on the platform of a truck. They were waving to the crowd and answering the questions of the interviewer.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2KRludarWRg/UBd5TLiDtKI/AAAAAAAANdU/_O1MahUyGrg/s1600/IMG_20120729_123146.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-2KRludarWRg/UBd5TLiDtKI/AAAAAAAANdU/_O1MahUyGrg/s400/IMG_20120729_123146.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
45-30 minutes before the race the drivers were trying the start procedure. I made a short video about it with my phone.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='420' height='350' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/cMUcIpXcHl8?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Formula 1 race stated at 14.00. The sound of the engines were incredible. Especially at the start! Alas the race was boring, due to the special characteristic of the race track. As many drivers said, "the Hungaroring is very similar to Monaco, but without houses". There is no good place to overtakings. Furthermore Schumacher, my personal favourite driver had a very bad luck that day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The feeling of a Formula 1 race is indescribable. The racers, the cars, the sound of engines, the crowd, everything...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The driving back to the city was a quite long. The mass of the cars moved slowly on the road, but we luckily arrived to the Arena, when the concert of Bryan Adams started . I met there with my wife, handed over to her to my ticket (our F1 tickets are valid for this event too) and the keys of our car, and I went to the station of the underground. Then a quick storm, with heavy rain arrived... I was soaked though in an instant moment. Yes, I was lame and left my raincoat and umbrella at the car.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These made my day complete and put into a frame: soaked, burned and soaked again. But I enjoyed this weekend very much, and I hope I'll have oportunity to repeat it again soon.</div>RaveAirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16220093756782041772noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699689859489338685.post-80804571493999488432012-07-24T06:54:00.001+02:002012-07-24T06:56:40.673+02:00An Croatian vacation<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last year we went to Senj, which is also in Croatia. This summer we chose a little bit distant destination, <a href="https://maps.google.hu/maps?q=Pula,+Croatia&hl=hu&ie=UTF8&sll=47.415855,19.010219&sspn=0.01285,0.031865&oq=pula,+croatia&t=h&hnear=P%C3%B3la,+Op%C4%87ina+Pula+%C5%BEupanija,+Horv%C3%A1torsz%C3%A1g&z=12" target="_blank">Pula</a>. Senj was 5.5 hours travel by car (500km), while Pula is about 6.5 hours (600km), so it was a quite exhausting drive with a 3 and a 4.5 years old children.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Pula is a small city, but the biggest in the peninsula with nearly 60.000 inhabitants. The city is to be located on the south part of the Istrian peninsula, near to Italy. It wasn't hard to recognize the similarities with neighboring country. You can easily feel it from the air, the style of the streets and houses if you ever been Italy. And they have got a coliseum.</div>

Our tiny but tidy apartment was an small holiday resort called Horizont. We went in the pre-season, because it was a little cheaper, and we had a feeling about the good weather. We were right, because we could go to the beach every day during our vacation. The days were usually sunny, the nights warm, except 1-2 occasion when there were a little storm. The beach of this holiday resort was rocky, but we found one bay which was pebbly and better for the children.<br />

<br />
My 4.5 year old daughter enjoyed very much swimming in the pleasant seawater, while my son didn't like the salt in it. At the and of our vacation my daughter was able to swim without any assistance, so I'm very proud of her.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We cheated a little bit, because we spent most of our days near to a pools of the holiday resort. There we could easily look after the children, when we could read and rest a while. Moreover there were active programs at the poolside for kids, which they enjoyed very much. The last week of our vacation there were a 30 minutes Mini Disco for them, which was they favourite program.</div>

<b>Background story</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lord Vetinari left the city, so the lords of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankh-Morpork" target="_blank">Ankh-Morpork</a> want to get the rule over the capital of Discworld. Our aim to lead one of them to reach his aim, against the others. Is it looks quite simple? Well, it isn't. Ankh-Morpork is the city of chaos, where everyday strange things happens.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Components</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The components are quite good, and we have a feeling we got quallity product from our money. The cardboard map is awesome! The artwork on the cards are funny amazing, the wooden pieces (minions and buildings) are good. I have a little problem with the wooden coins and the inner storey, but it doesn't matter.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>About the game</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a 1 hour, 2-4 player game with many confrontation, backstabing and - as I mentioned before - with many chaotic element. I don't want to write much about the setup of board and this game, just only every player gets 5 card and $10. After we have choosen a personality card secretly, we can start the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7e5uUUbt05pg4aWwiq-zur9W3wGqYbuoJqUu1gz8prpTGEjr8LAl6qRIcAKvQTKWKBUIJp7Z9IJFdmFmKluJPngZvfn-sbvFbUDDhQ5S_mLhHAax_-DfSxiY8-MYAkCLtZrIWtEHxIAc/s1600/ankh-morpork_personality_cards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="124" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7e5uUUbt05pg4aWwiq-zur9W3wGqYbuoJqUu1gz8prpTGEjr8LAl6qRIcAKvQTKWKBUIJp7Z9IJFdmFmKluJPngZvfn-sbvFbUDDhQ5S_mLhHAax_-DfSxiY8-MYAkCLtZrIWtEHxIAc/s320/ankh-morpork_personality_cards.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The goal depends on the personality card we choose: we have to control x area, we have to x minions on the board, we have to x troublemarker on the board, we have to collect x amount of money or we have to let play until the last card of drawing deck.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ6f5YvYTwvU_LtoE6OANWmWWiPY5BdX4LKc4xxiVF0B8QSYTH5g0nGWXOG991Dd4OJ41fuNTBSKxIEs6Meafy75uAIUGLV9lGzsfllUiYB2CzabfK_gQr6JoLGDwZZFS1G4r9EUhUBVE/s1600/ankh-morpork_play+cards.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ6f5YvYTwvU_LtoE6OANWmWWiPY5BdX4LKc4xxiVF0B8QSYTH5g0nGWXOG991Dd4OJ41fuNTBSKxIEs6Meafy75uAIUGLV9lGzsfllUiYB2CzabfK_gQr6JoLGDwZZFS1G4r9EUhUBVE/s320/ankh-morpork_play+cards.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
During our turn we play out cards, then drawing back 5 hand of cards. The played cards determine our actions: we can place a minion, we can build a building (this add some kind of bonus to your turns), we can remove a trouble marker, we can kill a minion, we can get money from the bank, we can interrupt an action, we can play another card or we can play an event card. Playing out random event cards means you start something chaos over city of Ankh-Morpork, and with these cards you can ruin the strategy of others... or yours. This add a funny part to the whole game, but sometimes it can be annoying as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Conclusion</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think it is a good, funny game with quallity components. If you like backstabing the others, and if you haven't got any problem with a little luck base then maybe it is your game. The interesting world of Terry Pratchett's Discworld adds lot to this game. If you didn't read any books from him, it's no problem and if you read... then you can met many familiar character from the books. You can quickly learn to love it, if you don't take it too seriously!</div>

I love their apps/gadgets/sites like Google Docs, Google Maps, Blogger, Gtalk, Google Reader, etc. One of my favourite is the iGoogle.<br />
<br />
Unfortunatelly Google announced they'll stop supporting this development at the future, and according the iGoogle page it will shut down 1st November 2013. I'm very-very sad, because this page, my startpage, is very usefull to me.<br />
<br />
I can organize many things in one page. I have to push one (1!) F5 to refresh many important information to me like my incoming messages at GMail, the new Google Reader articles/posts, new twitter messages arrived to my account (TwitterGadget), some important bookmarks, shopping lists, etc. I think I'll have to find an alternative solution, an alternative page, where I can organize my important news sources.<br />
<br />
Do you use iGoogle? Do you sad about the decision of Google? Or do you have alternative solution which can replace iGoogle?RaveAirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16220093756782041772noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699689859489338685.post-55275803397886598212012-06-22T19:12:00.000+02:002012-06-22T19:12:24.005+02:00I'm back...... from my 2 weeks long summer holiday at Croatia (Istria, Pula). I had spent there very great days with my family, and I had oportunity to rest a little but. However these kind of long trips (6-7 hours by car) and spending the days with 2 lively kids are don't totally relaxing.<br />
I'll write more about this 2 week soon, but now I try to catch up myself with many things (e-mails, Google Reader, blogs and reading articles to the Magyarítások Portál).RaveAirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16220093756782041772noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6699689859489338685.post-47768407347350237892012-05-23T10:28:00.000+02:002012-05-23T10:36:54.686+02:00What speed do you read?<div style="text-align: justify;">
A fellow Hungarian blogger posted a site, where you can compare your reading speed with the US residents average. My result was 3% above the average, which is - I think - not so bad.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/marketing/technology-research-centers/ereaders/speed-reader/index.html" target="_blank">TEST</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the reading of a short page you'll give 3 questions to be answered. This'll check you read that page or not. Dear followers/readers I'm curious about your performance also. What speed do you read?<br />
<br />
<strong>Update:</strong> You can set up the story, the fontsize and the lenght of text before test. Only you have to click into to gear icon at the upper right side of the frame.<br />

First, I love any kind of electronic gadgets. I'm so lucky to be an owner of iPad 2, and I have admit I love it! But it isn't jailbreaked (yet?). As I have a smartphone with android OS, which is not rooted (yet?). Maybe I'm not really geek or not brave enough to be a real gadget-geek. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>(Sadly, I have to mention last week somebody stole my wife smartphone.)</i></span> My love towards to any kind of computer and computer games is a well-known thing. I love look in to the case of PC's and identifying, upgrading the parts of it.</div>

At <a href="http://raveair.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">my Hungarian blog </a>I many times wrote about boardgames. It add an anothet geek-factor to my personality. 10 years ago I said the boardgames are stupid things and they just for kids/children. It's not true! Maybe a boardgame just a game as the name suggest it us, but it means great fun. I bought dozens of boardgames at the past five year, and nowday I live them better than the computer games. Unfortunatelly I haven't got chance to play with many geekish one as <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/37111/battlestar-galactica" target="_blank">Battlestar Galactica</a> or the famous <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/15987/arkham-horror" target="_blank">Arkham Horror</a>, but my favorite is a real tough game, the <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/28143/race-for-the-galaxy" target="_blank">Race for the Galaxy</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/collection/user/RaveAir?own=1&subtype=boardgame&ff=1" target="_blank">owner of 43 boardgame</a> (excluded expansions), but I really count as a boardgame geek?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was teenager I bought many comicbooks. I adored for the colorful advantures of X-men, Spiderman, Superman or the mighty Transformers, as I had eagerly read less know comics like Bobo or Góliát. But somehow this devotion is suddenly disapeared. I don't remember the reason of, but something is changed. From an exact point I hadn't bought any comics for a long time, while at 2009 I bought the <b>Watchmen</b> series. Suprise! My all time comicbook adoptation is this movie! The Sin City was great, the new comicsmovies were great (Iron man, Captain America, Thor, etc) and I liked the Spiderman movies, but my personal favourite is still the <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0409459/" target="_blank">Watchmen</a>. I have to admit I haven't seen yet The Avengers, but I don't think it will change my mind... But who knows?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always was a big science-fiction and fantasy fan (I'm sure I'll write about it later), which is still strenghten the geek-factor in me. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, as you see from my short post I love doing geek things. But may I say to myself "I'am a geek"?

<strong>Movie: Star Wars - A New Hope</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was 9 or 10 years old, when I found the Empire Strikes Back cartoon at my father attic. The almost 15 years old comic completely amazed me, with it pictures and story. But this was the 5th(!) episode of a long saga, so I started to search after the other episodes. I found out this Hungarian comic is just the copy of a whole film-series called Star Wars, so I found a new mission: I wanted to watch the films.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the end of the 1980 years there weren't internet yet, the only solution was the VHS or the satellite channels. I got the Star Wars A New Hope on VHS, with German language. I didn't understand a single word about it, but I loved it! I watched that tape many times within a week!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It takes years when I had oportunity to watch the A New Hope and sequels of it (Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi) in Hungarian. I love all part of the classic trilogy! The problems begin with the new ones...</div>

<strong>Music: RMB - Experience</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I always love the rave music, with it's high BMP number and the vibration. My favorite bands played very great songs when I was 15-18 years old, but great years of rave music is faded very fast. But still I really love listen this "old" songs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My favorite formation called <strong>RMB</strong> and my most favourite song from them is the <strong>Experience</strong>.<br />
Enjoy! ;)</div>

<br /><strong>Book: Dragons of Autumn Twilight by Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I read many books when I was young. I <a href="http://raveontheair.blogspot.com/2012/03/my-reading-habits-and-opportunties.html" target="_blank">wrote about them at this blog</a>, and mentioned some milestone book of me. My first, very big love was the Dragons of Autumn Twilligh by Weis & Hickman. It was suprising experience which I never known before. This book means the enter to the world of fantasy books.<br />

Some months ago I had decided to buy a reading lamp myself. At home we almost replaced the old lightning bulbs to envinroment friendly solutition, mostly to LED lamps. The big advantage of LED technology is the low energy consumption (cca 3 Watts/hour).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My initial was I buy only LED-"bulb" to one of my reading lamp. Then I realized I had got enough reading lamp at home, so I started to seach a lamp with bulb. My first tought was the ebay. I found so many LED-lamps as I can imagine. As I had been browsing between the deals I ran into a solar-charging solution. The idea of this device is brilliant!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I purchased it from China, so I had had to wait some weeks before it arrived.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At daylight it is charging from the energy of the sun. Unfortunatelly - according to the manual - the fully recharging state takes for 16 hours. But is environment-friendly solution. Because the other way is changing though USB-cable (then the fully recharging time modified into 3 hours).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to (and strictly according to) the manual after the fully recharging the lamp can light up 6-8 hours. It's not really true! If you're lucky, you can use it for 1 or 2 hours. From a certain point the light of the LEDs will reduce. However not sudenly, but gradually. It's more than perfect to me. I usually read 20-40 minutes per nights, so it's OK.</div>

I'm a geek. Or I think of myself as a geek. Once I love the comics, as I love the superheroes, the stories about them, and of course the superhero movies. Today I run into a short video, where you can find many superhero or superhero comic/movie characters in alphabetical order. Do you recognize all of them? How many of the characters do you know? And which is you favourite ones?</div>

In spite of these I loved the theme of the game, and the enviroment with dark, dirty and stinking maze of underground tunels. </div><div align="justify"> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-Lc9Dgd1UQaZlnOq7p0Xb3fpJjvOVyGt2TQhRfeVNi7o5jbySQIQFQaMu_yafdHAdww7QAHs4gKgiydTyBEGt-pZQW-J_zkKgqUumULnreaf5IPsJ78rbAjzXK9jDlpcsPGpo0mklDU/s1600/eyeofbeholder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 280px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727072760828058130" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg-Lc9Dgd1UQaZlnOq7p0Xb3fpJjvOVyGt2TQhRfeVNi7o5jbySQIQFQaMu_yafdHAdww7QAHs4gKgiydTyBEGt-pZQW-J_zkKgqUumULnreaf5IPsJ78rbAjzXK9jDlpcsPGpo0mklDU/s400/eyeofbeholder.jpg" /></a><div align="justify">Unfortunatelly my English was very poor that time (I had learned Russian language at primary school years), so I barely understand the story and way to play the game. But it doesn't matter, because the Eye of the Beholder looks very cool with fighting against monsters, using sorcery, magic and the holy powers of clerics. But, somehow I never finished this game or its sequels. The quests and puzzles weren't easy to solve, and I had to draw a map about the dungeon.</div><br><div align="justify">But some years later I managed to finish the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lands_of_Lore_series">Lands of Lore</a> (1 and 2) games, which were very similar to EoB because these are using the same engine. I still remember the gameplay, when I eagerly turning the pages of the English-Hungary dictionary. These games helped a lot to improve my vocabulary with many-many (useless) world.</div><br><div align="justify">Last week I run into a very pleasant suprise, the trailer of <a href="http://www.grimrock.net/">Legend of Grimrock</a>. As I see this game will be deliver us the feeling of old-school PC role playing games. Unfortunatelly the new role playing games, such as Mass Effect, are very simple, built to console-base, and they aren't so complex than the old ones. This is the reason why I so happy about releasing Legend of Grimrock.</div><div align="justify"> </div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP533D2pRF1qTx_mKm-cSNQStq_9yCum5F5t9ogUwoYB-jf4bAWmuArUt6VHRbEiBLVIcSmBVxBlmpyiUPpuTMgsy-xRHpVl7fzqlvPMMhO7GMlIKbEER9_FnQwO5oD_oC701_h3dg6Y4/s1600/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_02.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 225px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5727072756390695410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgP533D2pRF1qTx_mKm-cSNQStq_9yCum5F5t9ogUwoYB-jf4bAWmuArUt6VHRbEiBLVIcSmBVxBlmpyiUPpuTMgsy-xRHpVl7fzqlvPMMhO7GMlIKbEER9_FnQwO5oD_oC701_h3dg6Y4/s400/Legend_of_Grimrock_screenshot_02.jpg" /></a><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I just only hope it won't be a disapointment, but due to the decent price of game it will worth a try to buy. Is there any hope the golden are of RPGs are return? The releasing of Legend of Grimrock and the news about Baldur's Gate Enchanted Edition towards this way. And if these games came to iPad....</div></div><br /><iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xmSJ1iFx5zA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>RaveAirhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16220093756782041772noreply@blogger.com1
