It's been like 12 days since I was healthy and ready for school and stuff...
For these 12 days, I coughed, I sneezed and I had a constant temperature. I really, really have no idea what has come over me, I've never been this much ill before. Usually, I become ill once a year, and it usually lasts for about 3-5 days. This time, some virus got me and I got no idea whether I will go to a concert on Friday and to a party on Saturday... I haven't seen any of my buddies until two days ago, when some of them decided to pay me a visit. They actually did a prank, but I didn't mind.
Anyways, i'm still bored like hell in heaven, mostly because i gotta study the subjects that my grades are bad in. Laters.

Long term awaiting... Doesn't pay out - DESTINY REVIEW
I simply had to review this game, because it caused so much hype. I may not remember the names of the story characters so well, but let's just say that they're not that important.
Enjoy the review!
THE HYPE ZONE
Bungie, a studio famous for its long collaboration with Microsoft and its Microsoft exclusive franchise HALO, has brought us DESTINY, a game worth so much mentioning. DESTINY is the first game released after the end of the pact between Microsoft and Bungie and, as many have expected, the game just doesn't live up to the hype... Nor to the 500 million dollars that was spent on it.
But yes, the game is not boring, it has a ton of content worth risking to get, a mediumly interesting story and freedom.
ENTERING THE WORLD
Like most MMOs, DESTINY lets you fully customize your own character, but strong limitations are there, so it's definitely not like something you would see in Saint's Row IV's famous Initiation station. Be careful what you choose, because once you put an ugly green slime on your face, there is no going back...
After finishing the simple character creation, i was off to the huge mystical world of DESTINY. After the first cutscene, you start off with a simple gun, and you are taught to survive and kill by tutorials.
SO, WHAT'S THE CATCH?
DESTINY looks like, feels like, sounds like and plays exactly like an MMO should, except that it has that refreshing FPS element that everyone is a fond of. Killing enemies, defeating huge bosses, collecting loot, raiding... All can be done with a friend, and it can be hell of a fun process, buut, already after my 7th or 8th mission, same enemies started attacking me, while I encountered the same boss three times until I reached level 14...
Reaching higher levels in the game is hard, mostly if you go solo on most missions and if you don't grab the necessary loot the game drops you at the end of missions. It's also worth mentioning that you always get the same loot at the end of a certain mission.
At the end of the main story mission cycle, you can keep collecting loot, fighting other players in PVP areas, raid caves and enemy strongholds and gain more experience so you can get to the highest level possible.
So, after you've done the campaign missions, there's still a lot to do.
HOLES IN THE LOST WORLD
Like every MMO game, DESTINY is filled with flaws and some can perhaps make you never want to come back to it again.
During exploration or PVPing, connection lag is a common issue and it can last up to 10 seconds... Framerate issues are noticeable, especially in the PS3 and 360 versions of the game. I got a bit of texture popping on both the PS4 and the 360 version, but nothing too serious. As for the hubs and merchants, various bugs still appear when trying to buy something or sell something. Once, my game froze on the loading screen, and going back to the interface was impossible, while on my third day, my character and all my progress was deleted out of nowhere... Good thing I don't like spending money on microtransactions that much.
THE VERDICT
DESTINY is a high budget game that at some points manages to live up to the hype, but also at some other points falls down close to rock bottom. I give this game an 8/10. For more on DESTINY, visit this.
Laaaters!

New Borderlands!
Yeeeeeh... New Borderlands, The Pre-Sequel... Looks the same as Borderlands 2, but has waaay more content. A buddy of mine bought it last week for PS3, and maaan, did we have fun with that game... We mostly played the campaign, and it was awesome... So much more stuff to unlock... Like an FPS Little Big Planet, except that you don't control puppets this time. If you've played at least one of the previous Borderlands, you will know what I'm talking about.
A few days ago, i got ill, and I cough like hell every 30 seconds (yeah, i counted, and this is an average number). My temperature first was at like 37.2 degrees (Celsius), then, out of freaking nowhere it jumped to 37.4 and then jumped higher than MJ all the way to 38.4... Talk about some virus that maybe one guy from my class had not so long ago... But i doubt he is the source of my infection. A lot of my friends told me, as a joke ofc, that I have ebola, since at this time, it is the main desease, right? :D It certainly ain't ebola, but it sure is one of the stronger viruses that came over me... Ever. I get ill once in a year, and it's usually something easy, like higher temperature and mediocre coughing. This right now is a neverending temperature with hardcore coughing, and my throat is sore like crazy. Anyways, hope you peeps are having a nice day, because i'm certainly not. :D Laters.

It's called football... Get used to it...
A few days ago, there was a football/soccer game in Belgrade, Serbia. It was a game between Serbia and Albania, a qualifying phase for the UEFA Euro 2016 Championship. First, let's keep it in mind that Serbia and Albania are two countries that are bordering (Serbia S and Albania N) and their relations aren't the best. Let's also keep it in mind that I'm Serbian, so I will, obviously, be more supportive for my team. Second, UEFA made a terrible mistake by letting this match ever happen. The alternative way around chaos breaking loose was to play the first game and the rematch on some neutral stadium somewhere else.
The kick-off was peaceful, no harsh words from anyone, no fights etc. No Albanians were allowed on the stadium except for the Albanian Football Comitee members (players, coach, manager etc). The Serbian supporters were quite peaceful when it comes to saying bad words towards the Albanians, because if they weren't, the match would've been stopped way earlier.
In the 40th minute of the match, a flag representing the look of Greater Albania with an offensive message towards the Serbs, appeared attached to a wireless controlled drone. As the drone reached 6 feet above the ground, a Serbian player, Mitrovic, took the flag off the drone so he could give it to the main official. As he started to make his way to the ref, a few Albanians rushed at him like a bunch of horny baboons... I'm serious. They started hitting him and pushing him, whilst trying to take the flag away. That's when the already fired up fuse reached the gun powder barrel... Fights started on the pitch, Serbian supporters started running onto the pitch, while the security tried to stop them (let's be honest here, the supporters had a valid reason for doing so... They even went in with some objects to throw at or hit the Albanian players, and I found all of that pretty damn funny... And I respected those supporters, because all of the Albanians deserve that, all of the Albanians are bad people, and that is something i made sure of a long time ago).
After a few minutes of chaos erupting, the flag was taken away by some Serbs and burned somewhere in Belgrade, while the Albanian players struggled to get back into their dressing room. They literally were running for their lives, and it looked funny...
A lot of people will blame the Serbs for this... But lemme tell all of you, Serbia is to be blamed for maybe 5% of this! Maybe even less! The only bad thing Serbs did was the pitch supporter invasion... And that's not even that bad! If there wasn't for those Albanian players and for the dumbass brother of the Albanian prime minister who controlled the drone with the flag, NONE OF THIS would've ever happened.
Some British people say that during the match, the supporters were yelling 'Kill the Albanians!' when they were actually just singing patriotic songs... Yet again, we are blamed for everything we are involved in... Just because some fatass liar decided to tell a story on how the Serbs killed 20k Albanians, when in reality it was just 1k-2k people, mostly men that tried to kill our soldiers first. In reality, Albanians killed 30-40k Serbs during the 90s and another 10k during the past 14 years, and nobody ever gave a shit. Why? Well, that's on you to find out. Also, all of the Albanian politicians and government members are criminals, human organ sellers, human traffickers... I hope you understand something now.

School field trip tomorrow!
Eeey, so tomorrow is the school field trip that i've been waiting for for a long time... It will last three days and it will be a blast. People think we go on those to learn something new about the monuments and such, but it isn't true... For the most part :D I am interested in the two monasteries that we will be visiting, so i hope that won't be boring. We will also visit some other cities in my country and a couple of villages. But, when it comes to the entertainment, a shit ton of people from my school will go to the disco, which is located about 50-100 meters (a bit less than 0.1 mile) from our hotel. I won't be going to the disco because a lot of peeps will be there, it will be scorching hot, and i can't beat my sweat at all! I sweat like crazy. And also, my girl won't be going either so, why would i go without her :D Today I gotta study a lot... Unfortunately. I fucked up some grades, and I'm expecting more of those this week. I guess my start of the second year wasn't as shiny as i had expected. Laters.

My love and me :3
I don't usually post topics like this one, but I think this will be the first and last post of this type.
Two days ago, a week passed since the start of something awesome. But let's go a bit more back into time, shall we?
Three weeks ago, i started talking with a girl i had a crush on since the school field trip in June. Yes, it is a long time from now, but I was a shy-ass and i still didn't know how to ask a girl out... Ok, i did go to the movies with a girl before that, but she was one of my best buddies.
Over the course of the Summer holidays, my feelings towards my crush started to fade away... I didn't see her for a long time lol... When school started, the feels were back again, but then again... I felt more confident, even though I was still the same dude as the one in the first year of secondary school.
Her name was Christine... Or, as our French teacher would say, Christinne. I bumped into her on my way to school about 3 weeks ago, and we talked for the first time... Real talk, not like 'Hi!' or something like that. After school, i sent her a message and introduced myself in a ridiculous way... 'Yoyo, i'm the guy who walked to school with you earlier today xD. Just curious, who is your English teacher?'... Yep. That message started the fuse... If i can even say 'fuse'... But nevermind. We started talking every day before and after school, we laughed at school, we would text each other all the time during classes... At that point, i started thinking that maybe she likes me too... But then again, I would think how beautiful and nice she is and that maybe she likes someone who likes her back... There would always be a fear, that I couldn't overcome a single fucking time.
The chats lasted for a week and a half... Then, on September 19th, i asked her to hang out. She was happy to come ^^. At the glorious view over at Danube river, we talked and all the sudden we kissed... And it all started... Still lasts, and hopefully it will for long time to come... Right now, it's kinda hard for me to believe that I'm in a relationship with a girl that I love so much and that i liked before it all started! Now... She's my everything...
I'm a bit bummed because we can't go out this evening... The Pride is in Belgrade today, and it won't be safe to come near the city centre during the entire day, due to the hooligans and such...
Chrissy, I love you. <333

Is Call of Duty dying?
Don't hate on me, but I really did enjoy Call of Duty: Ghosts, i find it really fun and dynamic, the multiplayer is cool (although glitchy and laggy at the same time) while the campaign was something like from a third party game... Yes, my point is, i liked Ghosts only because of its multiplayer, and I also think that Call of Duty should be a game better optimized for consoles. What do i mean by that? Well, because of balancing! The PC versions of all CoD games have guys hacking and what not.
Now, is this franchise really dying? I would say so... Since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, the hater base has increased by 3-4 times from what it had been before. Let me admit, CoD MW3 is my second favourite game in the franchise, first is MW2, but i kind of get it why people started biasing Call of Duty more largely from MW3... We can just conclude that everything started going down the drain after that Infinity Ward break-up in 2010, being followed by the formation of Respawn Entertainment, under the ownership of Electronic Arts, which is widely recognised today as the developer of Titanfall.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare does look like an awesome game, and as far as i know, the graphics in all CoD games have never been downgraded from their E3 or GamesCom form. I believe that this game will be awesome, but not sure how the people will like it, judging by the fact that many hated on Black Ops II because of its futuristic setting... Then again, we have Titanfall, a game that many praised to be the Call of Duty killer, but for me, it turned out to be another great shooter that deserves a sequel that might get that title.
So, where does this leave us? Is Call of Duty dying? Yes. Will it die out soon? No. Many people still play the game, because of its gameplay and features. (WARNING: After this sentence lies a form of personal opinion, so if you don't agree, show it with a nice pack of words. I'm serious.) If you ask me, every video game will die out at some point in time. There will always be new generations of kids that will be buying CoD games every year, because, Call of Duty is still the most popular shooter out there, whether we like it or not.
I gotta go now, my corn is ready to be eaten. Laters.
