Delivery day!
Got a bunch of packages today!
I had found a copy of "Heart of Darkness" for PS1 on eBay (like I said I would) for 10 bucks.
Then I ordered the documentary "King of Chinatown". I'll write something about it once I'll have watched it (quite a few fighting game documentaries out there, I'll write a separate post about those).
And finally, on Evo-weekend, I ordered a Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 SA stick and a bag for it. Hori had a 20% off sale on their website (thanks again for the coupons, Alex Valle!) and that was too good to pass on.

Flew back to the US on thursday, jetlag kicked in pretty hard this time.
Recent videogame purchases:
Demon's Souls (game incl. artbook & soundtrack) x3 from Play Asia as well as 1 Deluxe Edition (game incl. guide, artbook & soundtrack). Was able to sell the 3 regular editions for profit so that my Deluxe edition became free.
I also bought 2 Hori Real Arcade Pro V3 SA sticks. I wanted to sell the second one with a bit of profit so that my own stick would become less expensive. That hasn't worked out so well, so far I wasn't able to find a buyer. If I can just get rid of it for the price I paid, I'll be happy.
Just ordered Army of Two: The 40th day and am thinking about MAG. So many games, so little time...

Flight security
I few from the US to Europe and back in the past 2 weeks and here's what changed, security-check-wise:
- On the flight out of the US, nothing changed. Everything is at is has been in the past years (take your shoes off and put them through the X-ray machine, along with your coat and carry-on).
- On the flight into the US, things have changed. They now manually search through your carry-on bag and look at every single thing in there. They also search through every single pocket of your coat/jacket. If one has a laptop or other electronics, they will ask to come to a room in the back where they run a check for explosives. They do this procedure for every single person.
Interestingly, they don't ask everybody to take their shoes off and put them through the X-ray. They seemed to only ask that randomly.
I was lucky that there weren't many people in line when I came there, but I can imagine that even an average amount of people will incur an annoyingly-long waiting-time.

The 11th hour
A contract extension that has been in preparation for 6 months, for which the deadline was the 31st of December 2009 has now finally been finalised on December 31st 2009 at 23:44 o'clock CET.
Unbelievable. Some company executives should be slapped left and right around the clock.
On the positive side (at least I hope that it'll be positive), this means 2 more years of work en los Estados Unidos.
Happy new year!
