Midget = Good

Every good game, movie, or entertainment product should have a high percentage of midgets. Just because. Obviously, Grimm is himself a “man of small stature” – more a dwarf than a midget, but in the same ballpark. “Little” characters like dwarves, midgets, trolls, and gnomes are found throughout fairy tale stories. This “Spear Midget” is a good example:

This guy appears in one of the Grimm tales simply to help a hero past a tough obstacle. Said hero is later murdered by his brother, negating the midget’s assistance… but hey. Little People often appear in fairy tales (and fiction/imagination) in order to explain the unexplainable, perform magical tasks, or to help/hinder a hero in a way that requires predictive knowledge. This guy just gives away spears.

Some days I wish a magic midget would appear and give me a spear.

Hey, Mcgee, do you know that a fairly important event named Mid-China Expo is on its way in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, PRC? It’s been held by 6 Provinces of China undertaken by the Ministry of Commerce. What’s more, the theme of this year is “International Cartoon&Game Expo”. The event will last from 26th, April to 4th, May. There’s a US consulate in Wuhan, you may contact with them and get more detailed information and then decide whether you will take a look or let your staff check instead.

I was wondering if, by any chance, if we will have Grimm for mac or not.
I’m loving it, by the way.
