The title means The Wit of the Staircase. It refers to one having a witty comeback but having it only hit his head when it is too late. This is what I suffer and also a problem for this blog. I had a lot of interesting things about which to write but well... I was too lazy and by the time I brought myself up to do it, the events happened way too long ago. I do not exactly know how to pronounce L'esprit de l'escalier but I shall take it as an abbreviation of La esprit de la escalier which I think is pronounced lah ehsspriht deh lah ehsskahlieh. Whatever.
It's also known as Treppenwitz (Trehppuhn-vits) in German. It means the same thing.
That reminds me, I just had my German exam. It was quite stressful. I do not know what to say except that the others and I spent around 3 hours talking before my oral exam even started. I shall not elaborate anymore thereon (It is like darüber in German. I learned about it therefrom).
Recently I have been playing computer games (wasting some which I do not play) and the Left 4 Dead 2 demo has just come out (I have not tried it yet).
I just got Dawn of War 2 and I have to say it resembles Company of Heroes a lot. It is probably because Relic worked thereon (Sorry the word is just cool) as well. However, I prefer Dawn of War 2 because of the setting. World War 2 is just a bit boring compared to Space Marines and Orkz (yes Orkz).
However, in Dawn of War 2, one cannot build sandbags for cover. I will miss the sandbags. I do prefer, however, the lack of base-building. It makes the game much more focused on the action herewith (ok I should stop using these words) and I really love that (and these pronominal adverbs).
Anyway, I feel that they should make First Person Shooters out of these games instead of Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (of course World of Warcraft is more fitting as an MMORPG). Same for the Command and Conquer series. Well they already made Warhammer 40,000 online. Company of Heroes would probably make a great FPS as well, but Call of Duty already exists.
Well, I am out of time (for you guys) and I have to go (for now). See you all! Hope you enjoyed your reading of my post and have a nice day thereafter!
EDIT: I have now played the Left 4 Dead 2 demo. It's quite fun. Lucky I have my mouse's on-the-fly sensitivity switch cos the gun was kinda slow.
I did not really care about my teammates since I was playing single player. I just tried the new weapons out, got unimpressed by the Spitter (the spit had terrible graphics), annoyed by the Jockey and unaffected by the Charger (that thing is useless). I was really annoyed by the riot police (bulletproof) zombie as well...
Ah well, it does not seem much different from Left 4 Dead except all the zombies look worse and there are a few more. I guess I will have to wait for the full game to come out before I can really judge.
