    Hello! Welcome to Fuwa.
  2. Have you ever heard "Squat on toes breaks your bones"? Apparently not.
  3. This is amazing, how long did it take you to do this? Seems like it took quite a bit of work.
  4. After watching it, I will have to agree with you 100% it was an amazing movie even though it seems that it is one of those movies that either bores you 30 minutes in or keeps you interested and mesmerized the whole way through like it did with me. Everything about it from the cinematography, the style and soundtrack is amazing. It's a shame that people were critical of it once it first came out. But what amazes me the most about it is how in one of those typical examples of life imitating art, just a few years after the movie, Chernobyl would occur. The quarantined area around the area are referred to as the Zone of Alienation, the Zone of Exclusion or the Fourth Zone and scientists who study the forbidden region (and the guides who take people there illegally) even refer to themselves as “stalkers” in reference to this amazing piece of film. Roadside is one of those books that I recommend everyone that I know to read, it is an classic IMO. Also, I find it funny that you mention S.T.A.L.K.E.R. as it is what introduced me to both the book and movie and even though it is based very loosely on both it does reference many important plot points from the book, such as All in all, it is an amazing book that will always be one of my favorites and the movie that was influenced by it is amazing as well. P.S. You mentioned that you have read more of the Strugatsky brother's books, and even though most of them were propaganda influenced as you mentioned, is there still any that you would recommend?
  5. Welcome to Fuwanovel. Enjoy your stay, and have fun.
  6. Welcome to Fuwa! I hope you like it here.
  7. I usually don't have this problem as I have the door to my room locked most of the time to avoid my roommates walking in on me when I'm playing a VN, but I would have to agree with what @MarcomiX said about loud music. You could also ask them them to help out around the place, most would flee or you would get a free cleaning service. Either way, it's a win/win imo.
  8. Stalker(1979) but the remastered version that was released last year. I have not watched it yet but I will tonight. It is a not really well known movie (at least I think it's not well known) by Andrei Tarkovsky based on a science fiction book that I just finished reading called Roadside Picnic. Here's a little bit on the movie:
  9. I used to watch TV quite often, but now I only watch it for the weather and news which in itself is something I don't watch often either.
  10. Don't really have that much time for gaming with life being as it is at the moment, but I'll add you nonetheless. I'll play anything as long as everyone has a good time.
  11. That just means we both have amazing tastes in video games, ain't nothing wrong with that.
  12. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Pikmin 2, Luigi's Mansion, Medal Of Honor: Frontline, Harvest Moon, Rogue Leader, Timesplitters: Future Perfect Man, that brings back some fond memories.
  13. That's actually a good idea, I may just do that. Thanks.
  14. That's true, even though maybe I should just finish my semester here and see where that leads me. Money is also an issue because as I said, I don't really have the $34,822 for the tuition and fees. Even with grants, scholarships and financial aid I'd still have nowhere near enough to pay for it. I guess I could take out a loan, but that's how you end up getting screwed over in the long run Edit: Just found out from the university's main website that it's $47,000 to go there. And that's even with a discount I get for being a resident of the state.
  15. Confession: I'm thinking of dropping out of the university that I am currently at to chase my dreams and go to another that I originally planned to go to. Thing is, the one that I want to go to is a private university and it is pretty expensive ($34,822 for tuition and fees) but it has always been my dream to go there and study. I don't know if I should just give up on my dreams or chase them anyway.
  16. Hello! Welcome to FuwaNovel. I hope you have a great time here!
  17. The stuff this guy does is amazing. Here's his artstation if your interested in looking at his other work: https://www.artstation.com/jakubrozalski
  18. Found this earlier today. I really need to rewatch the movie. Also, this. Old but good.
  19. This was my result. I'm not really surprised as I do read a lot in my off time.
