@Enrico_sw About American culture, I think of the Hollow Men sometimes particularly after the Great recession. Eliot wrote this poem to describe British men and British culture after the World War 1. The Hollow Men by T S Eliot - Famous poems, famous poets. - All Poetry

@Enrico_sw @SympathysSilhouette Today I finished the audiobook for Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" for the second time and was struck by a few crucial similarities between this novella and the Heart of Stone expansion of the Witcher 3. Apocalypse now is also my favorite film of all time. Same-same but different. Geralt often inhabits the role of Marlowe, as an outside observer who pieces together the mystery of Olgierd von Everec piece by piece. He and Olgierd also has numerous philosophical exchanges like Marlow and Kurtz. Olgierd is quite similar to Kurtz when I come to think of it. A great, eloquent but also savage man. His gang of faceless, cutthroat bandits are stand-ins the African 'savages' of Kurtz. And Iris is very similar to the Kurtz' fiancé, and grieves in a similar way- a never ending grief and a never ending love for a great and terrible man. Also, the title of the expansion: Heart of Stone Heart of Darkness The writers CDPR's team were all english majors it seems lol.

I like her streams.

the red sonja statue is gorgeous

classic moment in gaming. I was in high school when I played this , and was blown away. This was cutting edge for the time: the theatrical direction, art/graphics, music, and gameplay combined.

I just bought this Geralt statue to display with the Shani one. I have strongly considered getting the Ciri (winter outfit) statue but the face on the statue doesn't look like her, which bothers me. The default outfit (white shirt) Ciri statue is much better than the winter one because the face looks a lot more like hers. But it is out of production for years and is ultra-rare & absurdly expensive. Dark Horse should re-release it ASAP. The Yennefer statue is really nice but the face isn't good either. The stock photo makes it look better than the actual product. I might buy it anyway though. the dandelion one is great

that's what Last of Us is. : p Besides that, I like how loyal they are to the game- that's the key thing.

gorgeous girls

@Enrico_sw @SympathysSilhouette did you guys see episode 1 of Last of Us? Tragic that HBO didn't buy the Witcher rights.
