7月29日 Talking Community - episode 4I'm all Soul Calibur 4, baby!
7月24日 Gimme the grid!!!One of the problems that I face as a gamer, an employer and a house"wife" is the lack of time for gaming. After spending the whole day in front of the computer, trying to decode invoices, expense notes and reconciliations, I generally get home wasted. Even though I do bring out my sports clothes hoping that I will have the chance to burn some calories and get in shape again, most of the time, my plans remain just plans. What can you do when real life gets in the way? Go handheld! The (P!nk) PSP has recently become my GPS as well. Having it always in my bag is a matter of necessity. My other companion is my (pink) DS Lite. I leave my MP3 on it and one of my puzzel addictions: Sudoku (Gridmaster). Maybe you will think that I am crazy for playing with numbers when I already have to deal with them during the whole day at the office. However, I love it. I find it so exciting... Most of my sleepless nights are also spent with the grids. I just take to bed and it is all about fun. For the Xbox Live Arcade fans, the version available for download is also a sweetie. Highly recommended as well. My DS's battery must be almost fully charged by now. See you all soon! *grid on*
7月21日 Frag Dolls UK say "good-bye"It is not really news, but I felt like commenting a little on it. On June 30th, 2008, Frag Dolls UK announced on their official blog that it was time to say good-bye... For the girls themselves, it is not like they vanished from the gaming scenario. In fact they are already doing great on the blog Ready Up!. The sad news in my opinion is that it feels like female gamers are being again abandoned, left on their own, by the fact that Ubisoft is not officially supporting their overseas teams anymore (FD France was gone last year as well). What does it really mean? Is female gaming being pushing away from the spotlight? Should we crawl under the table with our controllers in our hands, ashamed for being gamers? I somehow feel very sad about it. I do hope I am simply being pessimistic about it all and that maybe, who knows, Ubisoft (as well as other publishers/developers/members of the industry) will come out with better news for the female gamers from this side of the ocean... Until then: game on (European) girlz!!!

7月16日 FlowerOf course that Gears of War 2 is the greatest game shown in E3 08 so far. And sincerely, I don't think any other title can surpress it. However, another game has caught my attention and believe it or not, it is a PS3 one. The name? Flower. It might sound funny because they are completely different from each other, but it is just that magic of beautiful images, nature and an incredible soundtrack. I have just watch a demonstration on Gamespot's live show with Kristin "Batgirl PMS" Reilly and I am even more in love. If you haven't seen anything from this game, here is a video for you. Enjoy it! *game on* YouTube - Flower for PS3 in HD part 1. E3 08 7月14日 MS ConferenceEven though I missed the end of the Microsoft's Conference (my neighbor rang on my door), I would like to write a little bit about my general impressions.
First of all, I miss Peter Moore. I am a big fan of him and his charisma. Nothing against Don, but no one can beat Peter's charm.
I loved the new Dashboard. It does look nice and easy to use. The only question is about all the money invested in themes... That kind of hurt the feelings of my wallet.
 I am looking forward more details on it.One thing no one can deny is that the Avatars are cool. Not childish like the Wii ones, but they are very cute too. I like it. Mine will surely change of hairstyle as much as I do.
About the news: Gears of Wars is and will continue being THE Game! I am delighted by the demo of Cliffy B. I loved the first title and I am sure that I will adore the second one as well. I am so going to pre-order it asap!
Lips looks sweet. I do have Sing Star for the PS3 and I am fan of the genre. This is a must have for me without a doubt. Mainly with the songs that you can use from Zune. However, I hope it will work with other MP3 players and there is no sign of Zune coming overseas (ever).
Films for Europe?!? Yay!!!!!!
They finally discovered us and it makes me a happy angel.
 Nothing about the titles though. I guess I will have to wait a little longer for that.Rock Band 2 is bringing a lot of sweetness too. More than 500 songs until the end of the this year??? AMAZING!!!!!!
Last, but not least, I am happy with the FF XIII news. I am not a FF fan, never played any of the games, but I think it is a great step taken by both Square Enix and Microsoft.
For the rest, too much was shown and I need to digest the information further. It is just the beginning of E3 and the conferences. A lot is still to happen.
 Game on!
EDITING: Via the blog of Acey Bongos, I have found this letter from Marc Whitten giving more information about the Dashboard and its changes. It does enlight a lot of questions. See it on the Gamerscore Blog. 7月13日 Talking Community - episode 2Yes! It is true. Finally...
Today I recorded the second episode of my videoblog Talking Community.
It is again a short one, but it is really a warm up. I want to get it rolling again and for that, a first step had to be taken.
I hope you will like it.
Nice Sunday everyone!
7月10日 Why the late hype?I don't know whether anyone is finding strange my sudden hype for an "old" game like Diablo II. If you are, let me explain it to you...
The thing is that I had the chance to be at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitation in Paris in the end of June. I worked at the booth of amBX and I was then and there when Diablo III was announced.
I went nuts! I am a major fan of Diablo and I couldn't believe I could hear the announcement on the spot.
Well, needless to say that after coming back, I got myself a copy of Diablo II (I had played only the first one a little after its launch) and I spending some quality time with it since then.
Man! I LOVE that game!!!
Great gaming everyone,
Angel.
7月8日 Migraine + ShoppingI woke up this morning with a major migraine.
I guess one can call it a vacation syndrome. Whenever I have some kind of break, I get sick somehow. It happens since I was in basic school. It is too late to have hopes that it will ever change.
I had to take two pills against migraine and even though I can't say that I am 100% in shape, I feel much better now.
Since a week or so ago, there are sales in Belgium, so I am using most of my freetime practicing my shopping skills. And not forgetting about my gaming activities, I got myself a new headset to use when I play my beloved Diablo II. It is a Skullcandy. And of course, I got the pink one.
It fits sweet and I am about to test it.
Wishing you all a great time.
<3

Back on the block againI have postponed my come back for as long as I could. Why? Because of the fear of maybe needing to take a break again.
It might sound weird, but that is what it is.
During this sabbatic year, I worked a lot, went to Brazil to visit my family, changed my hairstyle a couple of times and bought a lof of stuff, including sweet gadgets.
Anyway, I will need some time to warm up again, but I am excited about the idea of starting blogging again.
I would like to thank those who kept in contact with me, who left messages and so on.
*much love to everyone*
Angel
