Heroes

I just finished watching Heroes amidst all the hype that it has been getting.

The show started off pretty well. Very catchy plot, with superpowers and all. But somehow, it just sidetracks with a lot of meaningless subplots that to not contribute much to the main storyline. The parts like showing everyone living their lives 6 months ago, a huge portion focusing on Charli and Hiro, these felt like Naruto fillers.

Maybe I was expecting something like the Justice League kind of thing, where everyone comes together and saves the world. But in the end, this just felt more of coincidence saving the world. The build-up to the final episode was also weak. Much suspense came about from the alternate future that they spent so much time talking about. But in the end, when the explosion came, it was just so predictable.

I have to say that I am kind of disappointed after finishing the show. I guess I'd probably watch the second season to see how things go, but the interest has dwindled.

-------------------------

I think I'm finally beginning to lose interest in WoW again. With so much politics going on in the game, through making me apply into that guild, kicking Huawei's character out because he had been inactive, cliques between people, I guess the fun factor finally expired just like how a monthly subscription expires. I hate politics in any scenario or circumstance. Why can't things just be simple and honest?

I remember what one of my professors, Dr Farber (he taught me Analytical Skills), said about WoW. The loot system was corrupting and now I do feel how true this opinion is. In the end, everything revolves around what you get from the game. Not just the fun element, but a material (on immaterial) benefit, also known as loot.

But whatever. Going to quit soon anyway.

-------------------------

It's hard trying to forget her and stuff. Memories of the times we spent together just float into my mind when it wanders. Places that we've been to, things that we had done. It's really been tough but I know what I have to do. The thing that would really break my heart now, would be to find out that she got together with someone else, saying that time that she wasn't ready for a relationship.

I doubt that would happen though, I hope.
