'The Last of Us' is overrated. (Relax, it's just an opinion)

Just completed 'The Last of Us.' It wasn't awesome but still a very good & enjoyable game. Knowing the speakers of my TV got fucked long time ago, I wish I had used my headphones sooner because I just did that with the last part of the game & the whole experience was different. Couldn't hear music & many other important sounds through the TV speakers. But that's not the reason that the game wasn't awesome. The game had these repetitive parts. The characters weren't that lovable. Ellie was likeable & Joel too I guess but I didn't really feel that they are cool characters. The story progression was slow given the length of the game. Some stealth parts were good but there weren't many stealth options. There were no tutorials for certain things that I thought were important. I liked the ending though. My game of the year is still 'God of War: Ascension.'

Evernote is overrated...atleast for now.

So, less than a month ago (if my memory serves me right) I got a new phone. It's HTC Desire C. I love it. It's like a mini tab. I'm going to get Google Nexus 7 soon though, but for now this phone is working like a nice tab. I've been addicted to some cool apps (recently alchemy). But what I want to post about is the app called 'Evernote' that almost everyone seems to be crazy about. OK, I downloaded it on this phone, & my desktop & installed it on my laptop too. For now, I just find it another software to jot my notes to. I don't really find it as useful as people are sucking it's big dick. The only things I think are helpful for me are, synching of files on server & putting a different kind of stuff in one place. Other than that I don't really find it that special. OK, it has this OCR thing but unfortunately, I don't have a shelf for my books, my DVDs are usually scattered & my Video Games are in different dark place, so I don't know how to use this feature. I tried photographing a business card & a handwritten note but apparently it didn't recognize the text since it didn't come up in search results. I still prefer windows notepads & words to keep huge text info. I synch them on my computer using Mesh as much as I hate microsoft. One thing that pisses me off is that when I read reviews, I notice that people tend to compare it to actual notepads & papers as if they've never used computer note pads in their entire life. "Oh, how it saves papers..." & "I don't need to keep paper scraps." or  "No more office files on the table." As if Evernote is the only way you can keep notes digitally. Now, I've made a few notes on it such as for clothes, like which shirt should go with which pair of pants but I don't really see how this would come in handy as I feel I may not even care at times about my note when I want to change into clothes after shower. I've made other notes about other stuff but I really don't see anything special happening to them. So the only good things for me for now are:
 1. Accessing notes from anywhere (sp on my cell) &
2. Putting different kinds of stuff in once place.
 I think Evernote may come in handy when I'm out doing bird photography as it can keep location data, so I can remember what bird I saw where & when. But it would suck to type a lot of info on a cell. I've tried looking for examples on the internet but I haven't found any that would make me feel that Evernote is different than other notepads.
