After hearing some Noise music, I have a very hard time relating Slayer or anything from metal to noise.

I wouldn't be surprised. However, Sam & Max haven't made any references to Merseyside while Conker's Bad Fur Day did. Sam & Max have gone as far as making references to modern internet age such as namedropping YouTube and Craigslist. Something like that would stick out like a sore thumb in The Simpsons.

Conkers Bad Fur Day made a reference to Merseyside? Where?

I believe they mention Birkenhead which is a town in Merseyside. Maybe a mention of scousers as well?

Sam & Max indeed seems like a typical game with tons of references to all kinds of things. Just like Conkers Bad Fur Day.

There's definitely many references in Sam & Max.

This means that we will most likely move out of our parents houses to The Hague somewhere in the next couple of weeks. I know this is a pretty big step in life, but everybody has to take it sooner or later.

The biggest problem is to find furniture that doesn't look like bulky waste. Me and my gf failed big time in that department. XD
Ah well, at least the furniture was cheap.

Anyway, like I already said above, our parents are willing to pay our health insurances so that's awesome ^^

Today we've officially accepted. My gf's parents had a look at it as well and they agree with us that with some work, we can turn it into a great place for us two.

We will probably already get the key before New Years, so then we can start working on the walls and the floors.

I understand your point of view on that, but I don't think there's any bank that would grant us a supportive loan for a house/apartment when we officially have 0 euros income :p

One good thing about it is that we can stay for as long as we like (unless we earn more than 4500/month or something) and if the building ever needs to be demolished, we get 5000 euros to GTFO plus a new apartment within a few months.

All in all, I think its perfect for students like us, but for someone like you who already has a proper job it's indeed not that interesting to rent a cheap apartment.

Indeed it is.

We have a shitton of work to do now though and unfortunately we also have exams in the next couple of weeks. So moving and getting the apartment ready is probably gonna suck, but oh well... I'm sure we'll be happy in the end when everything's all nice and done.

Yeah - the pin was fine in the end, the case was broken and I was warned about it, but didn't want to make a fuss, if I could have it done for free. Now it's got to be done, meaning that most of the watch that I was given for my 21st birthday will now have been replaced.

Well, the thing is that there are several supportive funds that we are entitled to. This is a supportive fund for students who don't live with their parents anymore, one to cover health insurance costs and one for renting a cheap apartment. The latter two are mostly for people who have little to no income, like us.

Thanks to these funds we might actually have some money left over at the end of the month so that we can also save in case we need it later. If we wouldn't have any money left to save I agree with you that we are in a bad situation, but now it's not so bad.

I hope that will never happen, but of course there's always a chance that it will. So far we're together for two and a half years and things are still going great, so I think it's a step that we can take. We have to do it sooner or later anyway, if it doesn't work out than I guess it wasn't meant to be.
