The collegues were very nice, and the breaks were OK. But the job itself was the most boring of all.

To my surprise we even [...]

Grand Theft Auto 4 is ready for you

I was wondering about the wereabouts of friends, so I jumped on my bycicle, and paid them a visit.
They were not to happy to see me, because they were heavily involved in playing….Grand Theft Auto 4.

Friends are studying there and they have lost everything they didn’t have at home.There a computer back-up, but the practical work, like maquettes, is gone.
