Save Community!

I just read that NBC is going to stop Community‘s third season starting from January 2012. According to this article, it seems that this new season (airing in USA since mid-September) has had a consistent drop in ratings and thus NBC is going to stop the series, one of the most critically acclaimed of the last seasons, until further notice. A NBC representative told that the series will be aired again within the end of the 2011-2012 season (spring?).

Anyway, I’m a huge fan of Community, and as a fan I invite everybody who feels disappointed with this NBC’s decision to subscribe the Save Community petition at this URL: www.save-community.com. If you don’t have Facebook, or just like me don’t want this petition app to have full access to your Facebook profile, just leave your name and e-mail and country, and that’s done. Spread the word!

Dragon Age Redemption

In the last few weeks of transition, I had the possibility to take a look at Dragon Age Redemption, the web series that is set in the Dragon Age universe and that stars Felicia Day (we all love her for The Guild) as Tallis (that is also the main character in the last Dragon Age 2‘s DLC, Mark of the Assassin). Bioware has made a lot of work to expand Dragon Age brand in time and throughout different media, not always with brilliant results: Dragon Age 2 (and its DLCs) has disappointed many Dragon Age: Origins fans (including me) and the two books from David Gaider (that was also Lead Writer for Origins and previously worked on games like Baldur’s Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic) are, to say the least, poor. Anyway, if you have the time and a bag of patience to go deep into different Dragon Age products, you will find a very well built setting where fantasy stories perfectly fit and on which almost everything can be built. This is one of the reasons why Dragon Age Redemption is worth a look.

In Finland!

One week or so ago I moved to Helsinki and after a very long period of boxing and unboxing, I’m once again in front of my PC. Moving from one state to another is not the easiest thing to do. Well, actually, moving (generally speaking) is not easy at all. If I think about the fact that the apartment I live in now is temporary and I will be moving once again at the end of January, a lot of bad words come into my mind …

Anyway, I’ve always looked at my move to Finland as a great opportunity, so I won’t moan any further. In the next few days I hope I will be able to take some pictures of the roundabouts and post them here on my blog. In the meantime, I should be able to update this pages more frequently than in the last month. At least, I hope so!
