One of the games that I bought used (or cheap) over the Christmas break was Bioshock 2. Having played, and really enjoyed, the original Bioshock I deviced to get this game. I also decided to focus on this game (and Prince of Persia) over my vacation as I was interested in learning what happened to Rapture after the events of Bioshock. Bioshock 2 was quite an engaging game. The game mechanics were

OK, this video is all in Greek, but it is pretty humorous nevertheless. It's an excerpt from Radio Arvila, a Greek comedy show (from what I gather), where the commentators are making fun of the "everything worthwhile was invented by Greeks" crowds (at least that's what I got out of it). If you know some Greek you will laugh. If you don't know Greek, you will most likely laugh at "Autocad" and "Facepapyrus"

Pretty humorous considering that this technology isn't even (or is just approaching) 30 years old! I wonder what people will think of these items in another 20 years. It should also be noted that some of these are culturally dependent - I had no 8-track players in Greece, the only reason I knew that they existed was because of relatives that had lived in the US.

I came across this video (while looking for Previews of a bit of Fry and Laurie). It is pretty humorous...and as someone who's just finished an MA in applied linguistics...all I could think of was theory

Ναι το ξέρω, έχω χαθεί τελείως...τι να κάνουμε; Αυτή είναι η ζωή του φοιτητή που ευτυχώς έρχεται στο τέλος πολύ σύντομα. Μόλις τελείωσα μια ερευνητική έκθεση για το τελευταίο μου μάθημα στην οποία συνιστώ να αλλάξουμε τον

Με τα μούτρα στο διάβασμα το έχουμε ρίξει λοιπόν. Σε ακριβός ένα μήνα θα έχω τελειώσει με εξεταστικές, και τα διαβάσματα, και τις εργασίες. Εως τότε...το μπλόγκ είναι σε αναμονή (όχι πως έχω και πολλούς αναγνώστες, αλλά λέμε

Εδώ και κάτι χρόνια τρέχω να βγάλω την Ελληνική υπηκοότητα, κάτι που νόμιζα πως είχα ήδη αφού τελείωσα γυμνάσιο στην Ελλάδα και οι γονείς μου ήταν Έλληνες, αλλά τέλος πάντων (οι παλιές καλές μέρες του «είμαι φοβερός και το

I can't wait for the Hollowmen to come back! Yes, I know it's an Australian show, but politics is absurd no matter what the country ;-)

Ο Οκτώβρης, για όσους από εσάς δεν ξέρετε, είναι ο μήνας του halloween στο Σάλεμ, εκεί που μένω δηλαδή. Το halloween (31 Οκτώβρη) είναι των αγίων πάντων, αν δεν κάνω λάθος, αλλά είναι κάτι σαν τις ελληνικές αποκριές όσον αφορά το τι γίνεται.

I've got Chomsky in the brain...along with a lot of other linguistics stuff. These past few weeks I've been reading a lot about tech and non-tech issues that I have random thoughts on, but by the time I get to writing about them I could care less ;-) I think for the rest of the semester you'll probably see a lot of linguistics related posts as I continue to work on my classics research paper, psycholinguistics
