I haven't been very good at submitting content recently, but avid gamers and fellow journalists will understand that the tech and gaming world has been turned on its head recently. As such I haven't been submitting much content, but I greatly appreciate the notes you have been sending me regarding me well being, it's very nice to know you care.
In place of submitting content I'm re-posting this journal, next to my short rundown of the depression thesis that I wrote a few years ago this was my most popular and commonly re-posted journal, so if you missed it the first time, feel free to consider and comment on what you think. But make sure you think first lol you know I loath knee jerk reactions.

People. I get it, I do. Somtimes life is a bitch, and I understand that DA has such a great community that you may
feel that your thoughts and inner workings are an intrinsic part of keeping the community wholesome and worth
visiting.
But for the most part, we really just don't care. We will often reassure you and say "don't worry", but a great
deal of the time it's a hollow response just to make you stop complaining. If your life is bad, change it. If you don't have
enough money to buy things you like, change it. Hell if your sick, just take better care of yourself.
But for the rest of us who like to live our lives content with what we have, can you just stop complaining about your petty
problems? If you're reading this, it's because you watch me and I watch you, ergo you just might be one of the offenders.
If so, dude just stop! Whining won't help, be it in a journal or via some photograph of yourself with some "deep" quote found on google attached. Assuming you're a mature person, you'll understand that this isn't an attack on your entitlements, it's merely an opinion that most people are afraid to voice for fear of backlash. Me? I don't care about such things. Oh and don't forget, your "problems" are nothing compared to the real problems in the world. You have a roof over your head, food, clothing and you obviously have enough money to afford an internet connection and a computer. So stop complaining. Put down the sweeties or fizzy drinks you buy in a shop and give that money to someone who needs it. And if you're problems are things like "I'm ugly" just fuck off, I have no time for people who would rather lament their appearance than be a good individual.  
So please, for all your watchers. Just stop, think and be human.

"Come and join the party leave anxieties behind
When the weight of all the world is pushing down
Just push right back."
PS: That quote isn't meant to contradict what I just said about "deep" quotes.
It's a good rule of life to use.
PSS: So don't bother trying to contradict the apparent contradiction!

PEACE YO!

I dont know if this is inappropriate or not (if it is, ignore) but being a Video game journalist, you must be aware of the game 'Killzone' and the 'Helghast campaign' dilemma, right?

Just wanted to ask, whats your insight in this? Are the finally gonna let us play a mini-campaign or something from the Hig side in the fourth installment? or is it just gonna be like a neutral protagonist kinda thing?

Thanks..

It's not inappropriate at all lol But You have to understand that there are embargoes on games that makes it illegal for us to talk about them outside of the allowed information and time. And they haven't released much information regarding the campaign outside of what is already available. Sorry I can't be of more help in this regard.
