About Me

edit

I'm a gaming enthusiast from Sarajevo. I basically started playing games when I was 4, starting with adventure games on the PC.

At this point, I have every console of this and the last generation, along with a SNES. My 360 is redringed, and I have to call to send it for repair, thanks to the 3 year warranty thing.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy my blogs. I study economics (IT and marketing) on college, so I tend to watch many games related topics from that point of view. Hopefully some will find it interesting enough. Do drop a comment and feel free to add me to your friends if you feel we share interests.

Favourite games? Mostly Blizzard games, Kojima's, Fahrenheit, Lucasarts and Sierra adventure games, and others.

The infamous embargo
neshill \| 7:09 PM on 09.17.2007	5 comments

Hmm. This is going to be a short one, I promise. The two of my favorite movies, Matrix and Gladiator respectively, I saw without knowing a damn thing about them. I think the lack of hype and general astonishment with the storyline or quality of the movies made them special to me, and since then I've employed a tactic with games too.

I usually follow news of every game out there. When a game spikes a bigger interest, I invoke something I like to call my "information embargo". It's a restriction I impose on myself, so I can enjoy the game to its full potential, unspoiled by hype or spoilers. I had such an embargo on Indigo Prophecy, and it paid off. I believe Bioshock was imbued by it too. At the moment, it's Crisis Core, Hellgate London and Heavenly Sword.

Does anyone else do this? Talk to me.

Fascinating. Do you use spaghetti or wishes of little people stitched to a rope by the northern mage of old?

Yeah, I only read a few things about Bioshock and watched a trailer or two. I saw the demo from like two years ago, then basically followed up the general impressions, but never that much actual info.
