A farewell and an update

A few days ago, actor and comedian Robin Williams killed himself. He was 63. Kind of surprised he went the way he did, and yet not. His depression has been known, even if he was good at hiding it. I'm glad he lasted as relatively long as he hid. Unfortunately, I do not have a lot to say about him that haven't been said already. He was a good actor, a master of improv, and I'm sad to hear he's gone. Truly. Perhaps, much like most great people of our times, we took him for granted. You don't know how good something is until it's gone. Sure, he's been in a lot of bad movies and not every single joke of his were laugh-out-loud hilarious, but he was damn good at one thing: Entertain. When I think of Robin Williams, I remember all the happy energy he spread. He always gave it his all, no matter how bad the movie he was in, and that is really admirable. I used to be happy when I thought of him, remembering his spectacual performances in Good Will Hunting and Dead poets society - two movies that changed my life - and his hilarious portrayal of the genie from Aladdin. You can tell from interviews that he was very intelligent, too. Still, I didn't know the man, obviously. The only thing I know about his private life is that his daughter is named Zelda which he got from the NES game of a similar name he played when his wife was pregnant with said daughter. Regardless, may he rest in peace. He had a good life, all things considered. My thoughts goes to his family. Thank you for all that you've done for us, oh captain, my captain.

However, it's not the time to JUST mourn. I seriously doubt Robin Williams himself would think that. It's important to be sad, but it's even more important to move on. Right now for me, that means to give my few readers a brief update of what I've done since last journal entry.

I finished Chrono trigger for the eleven billionth time. Great game, but the translation is one of the worst imaginable. The tool guy in the "café" is a prime example. "Can't you tell I love soda pop?" Even Soda Popinski is dignified compared to that. Whatevs. No idea why I played it through again, just felt like it, I guess.

When I bought Mario kart 8, I chose Monster hunter 3 ultimate as the extra game. I received the download code for the game, and I've barely touched the game. I just don't have the patience for these kind of games anymore. I've been wanting to try Monster hunter since Monster hunter tri, but I never got it. However, that might have been my kind of game back then, but it's far from it anymore. No idea if I'll ever muster up the energy to touch it again. Got this copy of Xenoblade chronicles I've yet to play more than once, it seems a bit similar to this game. Guess I'll have to see. Oddly, I'm thinking of getting Dark souls 2, contradictionary as it may sound.

Xillia 2 next week. Need I say more? Maybe. I'M HYPE AS SHIT EXCEPT NOT REALLY

Will write again if anything else comes up. Or if I'm bored enough.
