Mare Tranquillitatis

Aw man, I sure hope everything's okay now, isn't it? And, yep, uni's going well. Got good marks so far, and I'm having a blast with my new friends. ( hey, we should play something together on the XBox some day, if we have the chance; I've got a mic now! )

No problem, dude. Things have been fine, thanks, although I'm kinda swamped with university stuff. What about you?

Quite well, actually. First term exams went very well, now I'm taking the final ones. There's a couple of exams that worry me, but I think I can manage to pass them with decent marks. Apart from exams, it's great, I love this university; it's got its cons, of course, but the people here are cool, and almost everybody is nice. Even found two guys who live almost in my same town. Worst part of it is having to catch the train every day and spending an hour per journey every day...

Nice. Hmm, I guess mine are alright. Pretty tired, but fortunately my first year at uni is about to end, so I can relax a bit.

Hiya there, buddy! Sorry for not seeing this until now, I've been very busy with uni. It's swallowed my life, actually...

How are things?

the old one...

Maybe, but I really don't know. There are too many nice videogames coming out this year... ;_;

Didn't see The Force Awakens, but I've been hearing lots of praise for it. Hopefully I'll see it in some months' time on Netflix.

Yeah, 2015's wave was better in my opinion as well; especially loved how Tahu and Kopaka looked like. But I'm not really fond of the Hero Factory-ish ( dunno what's the official name for it ) construction system, I preferred the o...

Well, well, look at that, chocolate. Lucky you! Having fun with Battlefront? I guess you are, it seems you unlocked lotsa achievements already.

I don't like the new sets. :/ Which ones were you considering?

Eh, not really complaining about my presents, got some money ( and that never hurts ) and a sweater, but nothing too exciting. I miss the old days when I'd receive LEGO and be happy for months... but I guess I'm too old for that.

What about you? Get good presents?

Merry Christmas, Hidron!

( big delay here... Sorry, have been busy, and sick, these days )

Heh, tiring to say the least. But cool nonetheless, I'm learning lots of stuff I didn't know. Learning Russian is fun, although it's kinda difficult and we're quite in a hurry beacuse we only have two hours a week of it. I've met some great people there, too, and the teachers are overall good, so I'd say I nailed it when I chose this specific University.

Doing anything special these holidays?

...Haven't spoken in a while

Nope man, didn't get it yet, I thought it would be near-suicidal to buy it now: too busy with uni, and a game of that dimension would take more time than I could afford to... Now by now I gotta resort to bite-and-run games. I'll probably get Fallout 4 when summer comes, or when Amazon makes a super-duper offer I can't miss.

As for the mic, I do have one: the headphones I use to play have one, but I haven't got the chance to try it yet...

How are you doing, though? Ha...

Let's say I'm working on it. At the moment I'm trying to understand what she is like, and so far her personality and cheerfulness have driven me crazy. Definitely gonna give it a shot.

Yeah, I'll probably buy it for Christmas too, maybe by that time Amazon will have decreased its price. And I can't really play a lot these days... ( oh, and that other game I wrote was meant to be Dark Souls, dunno why the heck I wrote it like that )

...got other priorities ( Fallout and Draj Souls... ).

How are you doing instead? Been busy?

Hahaha I guess it's not. Especially considering I might have developed a serious crush on one of them...

Yeah, we do, although ever since I moved in my new room the Wi-Fi's been pretty bad and all the online matches of whatever game I did were extremely laggy. I did enjoy the Beta; quite surprisingly, because I hadn't paid it much attention, until an Italian Youtuber I like streamed it on Twitch; it looked fun, and, well, it was fun to play. However I doubt I'll buy it, g...

Nah, don't worry!

Oh, fine, I guess. Started uni, and so far it's been awesome. Found pretty cool guys... well, girls, actually, because it seems males are afraid of studying languages here... How are you doing?

Hahaha me too, still busy doing secondary missions. And whenever I get to complete one, another one pops up... It's a freaking loop.

Both, if I understood correctly.

So, Hearts of Stone seems to be about some curse/spell put on Geralt by some dude who's seemingly immortal. It will be accessible at level 30, so I think it'll be a hard one. Blood and Wine, instead, will take us to the region of Toussaint, which is somewhere southeast of the current areas, but they haven't revealed anything else about it yet. Hopefully the promised 30 hours of extra adventures will be worth the 25 bucks...

Hm, I believe Hearts of Stone comes out next month, there should be a trailer for it. Blood and Wine comes out next year, instead, if I recall correctly.

When I first saw one, only the back was protruding out of the water, and I thought "Oh noes, this monster is gonna screw me big time". Then the tail came out; later, a spray of water appeared in the distance... It was indeed a fantastic moment.

Yeah, I hope the expansions will unlock other regions. Maybe Redania and/or Kaedwen, since there's a whole gap between Kaer Morhen and the Temeria we've been exploring now.

Hahaha no problem, that happens a lot to me too. No, I don't watch it: I think I saw the first season, but when I realized they changed many things from the books in the following seasons I kinda lost interest.

Oh, that mission with Lambert. Interesting one, actually. And the whole "rescue Dandelion" subplot is quite good.

Yeah, sirens are quite annoying. But the Skellig Isles are wonderful. Have you seen any whale yet?

Yeah, her voice does sound weird in comparison to her character (and yes, red hair is super nice! ). Speaking of voice actors, did you know the Emperor, Emhyr, is voiced by Charles Dance, aka Tywin Lannister? I didn't recognise him at first.

Oh, now I understand. I think I'll buy them eventually, I like the lore behind the missions and I'd like to know more about Witchers and the world they live in.

What mission are you doing now?

down-to-earth person. I think you'll find out eventually when her subplot goes on.

Haven't read the books, though I was looking forward to buying them. Is it true they're kinda "episodic", that they don't follow a straight storyline?
