Indierover: Indie game development and more

I’m just getting ready for going to Poland september 22th for Erasmus, its incredible, finally I’m going! For one year! Poland is going to burn!

For those who don’t know Erasmus is a exchange program for European students. So you go to other country to “study” and to improve your skills in the language. They give you a ridiculous scholarship and of course the validation (if you are lucky) of the subject you pass.

The better thing of Erasmus of course, are the parties . Maybe you will hear some people saying that are going to study… they lie! (but I’m going to study don’t think bad of me). Erasmus is one year unique in your life, something that will never repeat again. There is no one night there isn’t and insane party and you meet lot of people of all Europe! And sometimes also from other countries that are farther because there are different exchange programs but the students go to the same parties.

But you will say: how do you know all this things if you haven’t gone yet to make your Erasmus? Well, I can say that I have made and Erasmus in my own city this year! . In fact, in each city that there are Erasmus, there are also associations than help them, and I am a member of the one of my city. (Murcia, Spain).

In September of the last year, after the euro-trip I made doing interrail, I was really interested in meeting people of other countries, because its something really interesting to know other cultures, languages, different ideas and of course… parties! To know people of other countries is like travelling without moving!

And so, this September (2005), I met some Erasmus just in the street. Like all the Erasmus when they arrive they were a bit lost and really interested in meeting people of the country. We started to make some parties together and really quickly I met lot of Erasmus people (there are a lot! ).

Some days after, I met in a party one boy that was a member of the ESN (Erasmus student network) and two friends and me enrolled quickly in the associations. And its great to be one of the members because you can do lot of parties, to meet lot of people, to make trips, etc. Of course you have to do things for helping the Erasmus (like to prepare all this travels, activities and parties I talked about) but are really funny things in fact.

So, I’m really happy because I’m going to make an Erasmus myself, you only have to see a film like L’Auberge espagnole for realizing that has to be something really interesting.

I’m studying computer engineering and I’m going to Lodz (Poland). In other post I will tell you why I’m going to this city and what I know about it.

I let you with two funny things

The first thing…

Is this adventure game much like Sam and Max, Telltale’s Bone adventures and Monkey Island. In it, you assume the role of a twenty-two year old Italian Casanova using a student exchange program as a cover for attempting to bed hot Swedish girls (I think he doesnt study a lot). If you’re thinking Leisure Suit Larry, then you’re partly right. But it makes me remember more other Spanish game I played lot of years ago Igor Objetivo : Uikokahonia (I’m sorry I dont know the name in english).

The second thing…

Is this video (I’m sorry is in Spanish) about Erasmus. I have cried from laughing with it.
