welcome to the game ii
it looks like a scarier version of welcome to the game. i think the scariest part of this game is that you hear strange noises coming from outside while browsing the web. that's why it is really hard to focus on the tasks but also doubles your experience.

in this version, the killer (aka the breather) may call you to make you listen to his breathe.

theodore roosevelt
theodore roosevelt was born to a wealthy new york family that traced its roots back to the dutch colonial era. weak and sickly as a boy, he became devoted to physical fitness as a man.
after serving as police commissioner of new york city, assistant secretary of the navy, and hero of the spanish american war, he became governor of new york. in 1900, republican leaders nominated him to run for vice president-usually an unimportant position-with presidential candidate mckinley, to keep him quiet.
roosevelt was an active and popular president, and at 42, the youngest man to serve in the office. he said the presidency provided a "bully pulpit" that allowed him to air his views, using his personality to force the government to take responsibility. senator la follette may have summed him up best by saying that "roosevelt made reform respectable in the united states."

schindler's list
a list in which all the jews were rescued by schindler during ww2. it is also a book was written by thomas keneally. you should have an insensitive personality to finish it without crying. there is also a movie shot in 1993. i know that is a common cliche but yet i feel obliged to say that the book was better by far than the movie. that is to say never make the mistake of watching the movie first before you read the book.

some fav quotes:
--spoiler--
who controls the past controls the future.
who controls the present controls the past.
doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them:
war is peace.
freedom is slavery.
ignorance is strength.
big brother is watching you.
freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. if that is granted, all else follows.
we do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them.
