<p>You have to see Chandler&#8217;s face when he pronounces these words &#8212; very funny. He <em>is</em> the best character in the show.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I bought a game <em>online</em> for the first time 2 days ago. Sure, I used to buy games offline, and online too, but then I just bought a CD-key for an <acronym title="Mass Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game">MMORPG</acronym> called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guild_Wars">Guild Wars</a> through eBay. Just a CD-key. But this time the game is distributed online and one have to download it afterwards.</p>
<p>So, the game (<a href="http://www.kingsbounty.ru/">King&#8217;s Bounty: The Legend</a> &#8212; an RPG with turn-based battles) was available to buy online using different kinds of e-money, particularly Yandex.Money and WebMoney (both are russian enterprises). It cost me 350 Russian roubles (approx. $15). Then I had to download it to my PC &#8212; the game weigh 1.9 Gb whereas I have a 2.5 Gb a month limit on that. But the game is worth it. I love it, actually.</p>
<p>The game is made by a Russian company and it is completely in Russian. Russians are particularly good at making turn-based and real-time strategies, for example, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroes_of_Might_and_Magic_V">Heroes of Might and Magic V</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Storm">Silent Storm</a> (both created by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nival_Interactive">Nival Interactive</a>), <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Rangers_2">Space Rangers 2: Dominators</a> (by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elemental_Games">Elemental Games</a>), and many more. But they suck at FPSes and racing games, to be honest.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am currently watching Friends &#8212; a very popular American movie series. I have never watched it before and my friends kept telling it was very funny.</p>
<p>So, I found that it was freely available to download at my ISP&#8217;s website, and what is interesting &#8212; it was in English. Yay!</p>
<p>In Uzbekistan (and in Russia too, from where we import all the DVDs), all foreign-language movies get dubbed into Uzbek (and Russian, respectively). During this process, some moments are often translated or interpreted differently. And the movies aired on the national TV always get censored &#8212; kissing, sex and explicit scenes are cut.</p>
<p>So, I am currently enjoying the original-language and uncut version of Friends.</p>
