I review Metal Gear Solid 4 for Expanded Horizons. Sigh, I really wanted to like the game because the gameplay itself was fun, but the storyline drove me nuts… I don’t mind lengthy cutscenes when their content is interesting, but this time I felt like bashing my head against a wall. Repeatedly. Ah, just click on the link and you’ll see all my gripes in one neat package!

Something else – there was some downtime this week, but the problem should be fixed now and you should be able to access my website without any problems.

I also updated my Hungarian articles page again – I know this is getting a bit repetitive, but I found an online magazine willing to buy multiple popular-science articles a month. There is also stuff forthcoming in print venues, but those are published on less and less frequent schedules these days, moving from monthly to bimonthly or even quarterly… what I wrote in the past few months might not see the light of day for a long time. It makes me kind of antsy.

Along the same lines, I’m not writing anything for them, but as a reader I’m really annoyed the German Animania went from 10/yr to 6/yr!
