8,59€ for 4 awesome games. This is what the gaming industry should do

Today I purchased 4 awesome games that were on sale on Steam: Team Fortress 2 for 5,09 EUR and commandos pack for 3,50€.

See? this is what the gaming industry should do, use a very simple platform like steam, where you simply buy the license and download the game anytime you want. Very simple and (since a few days) cross platform!
Dear Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Game-making companies: want to reduce piracy? make games affordable. I don't mind spending 10€ a month on games, but I'm not going to pay 50€ for I game I might not like. (and my math are not all that good, but getting 10€ a month is more than... nothing if I download the games).
Same goes for the movie and music industry.

Strike in Madrid's underground

Ever since the economic crisis started we've had some strikes every now and then, but none as serious as the one we're having today.
All employees of Madrid's metro are on complete strike today and tomorrow. They were supposed to keep minimum services (50% of trains) but some of them are going inside and blocking the way, so its completely closed. This of course means that the city is almost collapsed: huge queues in bus stops, taxis everywhere traffic jams in every single road... and unfortunately seems like tomorrow won't be any different.
In my opinion, I think they should fire the ones that are causing all the trouble. I'm pretty sure that with 20% unemployment, a lot of people are very willing to take their jobs.
I swear I'm losing faith in my own country...

Preparing the beta of http://www.kadakiworld.com/

Yesterday, I bought my first domain, http://www.kadakiworld.com/

I'm thinking about making my own little site with a bit of info about myself, some tips and tricks that might be useful and a project section, where I'll keep both Hardware and software projects I work on.
attached is an early beta of the design I'd like it to have. also, I'd like to mention that I plan on making the entire site from scratch, no templates, just code.
Let's see how this ends.
Note: special thanks to Zenitram for his awesome advice and support, I would be really lost if it wasn't for him
