Man o man o manā?? I thought I had it bad when it comes to gamingā?? Once again I’m sitting in the G8 PC Arena, using the free WiFi because of a rush translation job. And once again I’m listening to a bunch of 20-something Czech dudes rabbitting on as they play their online games. One dude keeps going “BoomBoomBoomBoomBoomBoom,” providing rhythm for his overexcited neighbour, whose vocabulary consists mainly of vole (pronounced “volay” and means “bull”, which is something like the Czech equivalent of the way a hippy overpeppers sentences with “man”, though vole is ruder) and pica (pronounced “peach-ah”, I’m not translating that here).
Anyway, it’s still not bad here. I can’t help but think it’s kind of sad that the amount of money these guys spend on playing here could easily add up to the price of their own gaming PCs. And do these guys ever get laid? Ah well, not my business.
I had to come to G8 because the Globe had shite connectivity. Yes, I was prepared to pay their outrageous CZK 1,50 per minute fee because it was for work purposes and I happened to be in there working on other things. The upside to working at the Globe is that since I don’t connect there, I’m not so easily distracted by my Internet addiction.
Wait, did I say that the Globe had shite connectivity? Actually, I couldn’t get a connection period after trying four LAN cables and two jacks. A fellow customer suggested that it was a problem with my hardware, but that’s definitely not the case as I have no troubles connecting through a cable over at Villa Incognito.
Switching gearsā?? if you’re in Prague and in a poetic state of mind and can’t make it to Divadlo Archa to see Patti Smith
this Friday, consider taking a trip out to Roztyly for Alchemy and Poezie a provokace’s outdoor open mic. Details and a map are at the Alchemy website. One thing that’s not mentioned there is that the Roztyly metro station is on the C-line (the red line – the line with the swish trains compared to the stinkybum transport we B-line/yellow line plebs have to take). If heading there from the centre, it’s the train that goes towards Haje.Aug 24, 16:51 (Filed under: Prague events, Prague pubs, restaurants and cafes )
