The Escapist Column: Nerd Is a Universal Language
"Boel Bermann is a Swedish game producer and PR manager for Paradox Development Studio. She lives in Stockholm, more than 4,000 miles from my home in North Carolina. Boel speaks Swedish in her daily life, but is more than fluent in English; she uses all the normal slang of a gamer with ease. In between talking to her about the games she was showing me, we chatted about Firefly, the A Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin and its HBO adaptation, and our mutual non-participation in the Doctor Who phenomenon."

It seems nerd makes sense. Yet I prefer complexity in its way.

Say, I like the HOI 3, for its complexity.

Though I knew there is quite a lot of people crying about "How hard it is to get even into the first game of it", I`m still looking forward to play the next even more complex WWII war game/dlc from Paradox~ That sounds crazy, but it`s true that once you have learned the way how it works, you`ll get much more fun from it than any other games! (I learned that from my own experience.)

I think I`ve become one of the die-hard fans of the whole mighty Hearts of Iron 3 ! I can play it without sleeping for couple hours! I think the HOI 3 is one of the best games I`ve ever played in recent years!

That doesn`t mean that I have only played a few games, actually I`ve played more than 20 different games among the past few months, including Starcraft II, Diablo III, Warz, Counter-strike Global Offence, AMMA II, League of Legends, Dota 2, etc...etc...Just too many and have no room for them all! But all of them just failed and lose my interest at last, except the HOI 3!

I will definitely support the next coming series of DLCs of this game, and the next generation of it, if HOI4 following the same complexity-focused design route, and if also the system requirements permits.
