Nothing here anymore!

inFamous!

Wed, 27 May 2009 08:44:32 GMT

So I just came back from Gamestop with a copy of inFamous! I got the second last Special Edition version copy. So that felt good.
So right now just checking the mail and stuff. Oh... And Cross Edge will
probably not get here before the weekend. =(
Since Videogamesplus seems to get shipping copies today, not yesterday. -.-

Final Fantasy XIII demo

Tue, 26 May 2009 14:55:48 GMT

Thanks to Crying Scum member at loading. I was able to try the
Final Fantasy XIII demo. It was really nice! And can't wait for the full version of the game now. I'm more hyped for the game now. And tomorrow I'll be collecting inFamous from my local Gamestop. And hopefully Cross Edge will arrive on friday. I really hope Videogamesplus will be shipping the game today...
Will update with that later!

The new TV!

Fri, 22 May 2009 11:19:44 GMT

Hello! As I said a few posts back. I got a new TV. Sadly its not a HDTV. But since I didn't pay for it and it was a widescreen TV, I'm not complaining one bit. Its already made my gaming a lot easier. I've noticed that the Playstation 3 gives out a better picture quality in widesceen mode.
So now I won't have to think about a new TV for a while, sure I still want an HDTV, who doesn't? But its pretty hard to buy stuff like that when you are almost, always broke. Well sometime in the future I'll get one. What a beautiful day it will be...

The old TV is in the left picture and the new one is on the right! And a picture of
Mana Khemia pack! And next week its time for Cross Edge to be released!
Can't wait! :D

Wolverine has been tamed

Tue, 19 May 2009 01:41:35 GMT

Just got finished with The X-Men Orgins: Wolverine game. The ending credits just passed by. A pretty good game. But I'm sorta glad I didn't buy it, as I said its good and all but it has its flaws. Sometimes the damn camera its so stupid. Its like it got a fucking life of its own. You can almost never have the camera the way you want. It always seems to get in the way. Both Logan/Wolverine and Victor/Sabertooth look great in the game, but Kayla (Logan's girlfriend in the movie) looks like shit! And the same goes to every other character that's not a "main character" so to say. The exception being Raven Darkholme. Other than that the game is pretty good, the action is good. Its bloody, the part I like most about the game.
The cinematic movies in the game are wicked awesome! This is without the thing that has gotten the most attention of the game. Some of the movieclips that feature Logan look so real. That I sometime have a hard time knowing it its really CG or not.
Don't know what more to say. The game all in all was fun to play. I will probably play it again if my friend Elden will lend it to me again.

Well at least I've got my hands free to be able to play Mana Khemia now without any disturbance from other games. So that's how I'll spend the rest of my tuesday and probably all the day untill Cross Edge arrives.
Now its time for bed! Goodnight you all!

Game and TV

Mon, 18 May 2009 17:16:09 GMT

I got a new TV today. No not a HDTV. But I got an old widescreen tv, and it works a hell of a lot better than my old one! Since it was free from a friend to my family, so I'm pretty happy. And why not? As I said was free! FREE!!
And I also after some months of waiting I got my copy of Mana Khemia
for the Playstation 2. God, what the fuck do you have against me discshop? Seriously.
Yes, there is more too this than they just sipping out a game "late" for me. I think the details if people are intressted can be found on the site, if not, oh well. Well glad I can put that shit behind me both the game and ever shopping from discshop again.

I think I'm nearing the end of Wolverine game too. And after that it will jump right over and start playing Mana Khemia. Really looking forward to that game. Especially since all the good stuff my friend KNtheking has said about the game. I would take a picture of the beautiful game packade if I could, but sadly we don't have a camera anymore.
Its dead. So if anyone could tip me on where I can get a new digital camera cheap, I would appriciate if you could please tell me.

Wolverine and Eurovision

Sat, 16 May 2009 21:34:33 GMT

Now I've seen X-Men Orgins: Wolverine. It was a good movie. I liked it. Well some parts could need some work... Well all in all I was pretty pleased at least. now just a little more than a month left untill
Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen! And after that I went home with my buddy Elden. And we Watched, Saw 2 its pretty good. Still think the first one is the best. We watched X-men the first movie, feel like we needed to. ;)
And some other random crap I don't remember. I've also borrowed the Wolverine game from him. So I'm gonna start playing that now. The demo was good and I've heard a lot of good things about the game. Gotta give it a try, right?
So I'm putting Sonic Unleashed on hold for now. I want to rip apart people in Wolverine and honestly, Wolverine is better than Sonic Unleashed. Just the demo of Wolverine was better than a few hours of Sonic Unleashed.

And today was/is Eurovison Song Contest. I honestly don't know why I watched this. Perhaps because I was tricked with candy. Yeah it has to be the only logical reason. This year was boring as hell. The song from Greece and the song Arash was singing for where the only ones I liked. The rest also made me fall asleep. Seriously they did. I've sleept bad for a couple of days now and the rest of the songs where like sleeping pills. Hopefully I will not fall into the trap and watch this next year.
Gotta have some self controll... I just gotta!

Movies tonight!

Thu, 14 May 2009 10:04:21 GMT

Going to watch the Wolverine movie with my buddies Elden & Hubbe today. Looking forward to that. First time watching a movie in the cinemas since Iron Man. And next month its Transformers 2!! God I want to see it!
I've also preordrered the PS3 RPG, Cross Edge. For me and my other buddy Ezakiel. Hopefully I'll have them in about 15days.
Well that's all for now. Gotta get packing. See ya!

Unleash the beast!

Mon, 11 May 2009 14:29:50 GMT

So I got Sonic Unleashed for the Playstation 3 with the mail today.
I haven't played much more than 2hours right now, but the game is a hell of a lot better than the Sonic The Hedgehog game that was released 2006. Sonic Unleashed is at least playable. And enjoyable so far.
And I actually enjoyed the first Werehog stage... Its pretty fun. So at least right now its great, I'll have to check back later to see what I think then, when I have played some more. And can give a real opinion.

Prototype

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:57:43 GMT

So I just saw the opening cinematic to the game Prototype. And damned! It looked great. I've become much more interested in that game now. I must have it. I've also played the inFamous demo some more and I'm pretty sure I might cancel my preorder on the game. Its good and all don't get my wrong. I will get it when its much cheaper, but not right now. So I'm going to see if I can change my preorder from inFamous to Prototype, shouldn't be any problems. Hopefully.

I made a quick visit to a friends place yesterday and stayed the night. We had fun.
Talked and watch a bunch of movie. Its was great. Only thing missing is that my friend wasn't a girl. *wink* Well as I said it was great. And he is going to join me and my other buddy for Transformers Revenge of The Fallen when we go see it. God we are waiting for it! Just about a month left!

I take of my Scrubs

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:56:24 GMT

Its started with me being bored. I needed something to watch... Something that wasn't anime. But what? I have a hard time liking "real" TV-shows. Then I though Scrubs... "Yeah, I've been interested in that show for some time." And so it began. I started to watch the show, started to love the characters. It really grew on me and so this the charactes. Its a pretty whacked out hospital. But I couldn't help liking Dr.Kelso for him being awesome, Dr.Cox for being a badass. And yes, the guy love between J.D & Turk. Straight guy love, I might add. Or just The Todd for making a sex joke and highfiving everyone. I've laughed with the characters, at the characters and very few times ever cried. What the last episode with Ben, was really sad. And one of the best in the show.

And so all good things comes to an end, after season 6 the series started to loose some of its charm and it went on in that way. But now the series has ended with 8 seasons. Even if there are rumors of another season, I hope they don't do it. The series ended well, don't ruin that. It was a good run and it feels like loosing a friend. But it was a good ride and Scrubs was awesome. Thank you everyone in the Scrubs cast for giving me an enjoyable time.

Will try inFamous demo..

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:55:39 GMT

Thanks to Oskar Skog @ Loading.se & Nordisk Film, who gave out codes so that I and a few more people could download the demo of inFamous. So I'm going to try that in a while if my internet connections works. So hopefully I'll enjoy it and look forward to the game even more!
I'll post back with some impressions later.

EDIT: The game was pretty good. But it seemed a bit hard. Perhaps because I'm not all that used to games like this. But it was pretty fun. So I'll guess I'll keep my preorder for it. If I don't like the full game I can always trade it. But I really liked to be able to use lightning powers, I've always liked them. Hope Cole (main characters name) gets a lightning upgrade that can fry normal enemies... That would be so hot!

Preordered inFamous

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:54:44 GMT

Somedays you just find things that make you happy. I checked out my giftcard from GameStop and saw I still had some cash on there. I thought I had used it all up. Well this was a pleseant sureprise.
So I visited my nearest GameStop today. And preordered inFamous for PS3. Well it was only possible thanks to their preorder deals.
Trade in 3 games for a preorder game + get 100SEK on your giftcard.
(Well at least in Sweden its so.) So I used my card to buy 3 cheap preowned PS3 games and traded them in right away, to get inFamous. A good deal for me. So thanks to that I lost little money on my giftcard, but got some of it back and a new game waiting for pickup. All this without me having to spend "real" money. I would have preordered Batman instead, but yeah... Its deleayed. -.-

Ready for the movies

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:53:27 GMT

Hopefully a third friend who I've been planing to go watch
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, with. Will actually be joining us. Seemed a bit dark there at the start with some private matters to attend. So I'm hoping for the best. Speaking of movies, hope I can go and watch the new Wolverine movie next week. Me and my friend Elden are going to watch it. So hope its good. Hope its still showing at our cinema...

I'm also very interested in the video game for Transformers ROTF.
Even if the first movie game was crap, I feel like this game will be much better. Honestly it can hardly be worse, now can it? Have to work my ass of at home to be able to get it. But it could be worth it. Hopefully... And speaking of games worth or not worth getting. I have a copy of Sonic Unleashed that will hopefully arrive at my place in the beginning of next week. Will probably preorder Cross Edge for the PS3 next week for me and my buddy Ezakiel. The only game I know I can afford. Since I've helped out with a lot of stuff here at home, to be able to get it. So that's about what it looks like for me on the gaming side. Well probably going to borrow Dead Space and Wolverine game from Elden later. Really looking forward to Dead Space.
Hope its better than the not so good Resident Evil 5...

May is here!

Mon, 11 May 2009 13:39:28 GMT

So it's finally May. We are five months into the new year. Time has really flown. Soon its time for Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen to have its premier. Its almost been two years since I sat in the cinema and watched the first movie and it felt so damn cool. Looking forward to when I can book some tickets. (So hyped!)
As people might know I've also managed to get a new Playstation 3, got it in January. Since my old one broke and the warrant didn't cover it. So I've been playing on it almost every day since then. Right now I'm mostly looking forward to Cross Edge and
White Knight Chronicles. A lot of old games I would love to have, but sadly few there are actually money to get. Would be perfect if I could find a job soon, so I could start buying the stuff I want. I've also started to look for apartments. So I'm hoping both job and an apartment could come at the same time.

I would like to have money to visit my two good friend Lania & Kntheking in Stockholm. It would be nice to meet. And I've never been to Stockholm so I want to check it out. Would be nice to get away from home too. I want to spend more time with the friends I have close too, wish they could visit a bit often. For me right now its harder to get to places. Its hard getting older, people expect more of you, you have do more. You can't live without money when you grow up. Things like this makes me wish for simpler times when I was younger. I should have embraced it better, I should have done more stuff then. Now... It feels like its too late. I don't want to be younger again, I just wish life was as carefree now as it was back then. Even if its just a little bit, that would be enough. Wow, so much rambling here right now. Hope my next post will be something better and miore fun.

A new project

Tue, 28 Apr 2009 14:45:35 GMT

I just wanted to let people know that I've started a new project with my friends nordiclania och kntheking .
We now the the site RPG-bloggen. So check it out. We will be writing about RPG's and VG music in the site. All in swedish.
At least for now. We might expand an change the site later as we gain more experiance with this type of stuff. So I hope we will meet there. =)

Where are everyone?

Wed, 22 Apr 2009 11:53:10 GMT

Yeah, where are everyone? A lot of people I used to talk to has almost vanished from the internet. Is it just a slow time or has something happened? Either way its a shame. =/
Looks like two of my closests friends are going to get PS3's soon.
Congrats to you. We have to play online together later. I would really love that.
And next month its finally time for Cross Edge to be released.
Looking forward to that as hell. I just love 2D RPG, hope we will be getting some more of then on the stationary consoles. I don't want 2D to die.

I'm still somewhat sick. But the coughing is starting to go away more and more now. And that's good. So hopefully just a few more days and I'm ready to rock as hard as I did before! When I'm healthy again I'm thinking about visiting some friends.

360 time now!

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 20:48:34 GMT

Oh yeah! The Xbox 360 I had gotten from my friend Evangela returned today from being repaired. Thanks once again man. Hopefully I can get a hold of an controller and I can start to play
Blue Dragon, tomorrow. Really looking forward to it, since my buddy Kntheking has said a whole lot of good stuff about the game. So I'm hyped. So I'm hoping I'll really like the game.
Either way it will be really nice to play an RPG again, it was some time since the last one. Ever since I finished Eternal Sonata for PS3.

I've posted some new stuff over at my deviantART account, so you could head over there and check. If you are interested. I have also managed to catch a cold.
My throat is hurting like hell, and I've done nothing but cough. It's starting to get real annoying now. Hope it can ease up soon....

Xbox 360 get!

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 23:08:28 GMT

Well sort of. Some time ago my friend "Evangela" gave me his broken Xbox 360. So I gladly accepted and sent it in for repairs, he was to lazy to do this himself. (Well, you where...)
Not that I'm complaining since it scored me a 360. So its seems like its on its way back from Microsoft now. So looks like I might finally be able to play Blue Dragon. Well actually there is only one problem. How much I'd like to play I can't. Since I don't have a 360-controller. So I will need to find a cheap one next week, if I can afford it. Don't care if its wired or not as long as I ca play with it. That didn't sound right...
Either way I'm a lot closer to being able to play Blue Dragon than I was before.

And I guess some of you have heard. Tales of Vesperia IS heading to Playstation 3.
Only anounced for Japan right now. But hopefully we will see a US version too. I'll still try to get the PAL version somehow when its released. Same with Star Ocean 4. Hopefully I can borrow them from someone. My economy is down the drains bad right now. God I hate it. Almost every last penny, goes to pay bills and make sure I have a roof under my head. I wonder how much longer this will have to be like this. I want to start to live again. Go places, be able to travel and visit friends. But right now stuff like that is like a dream. And I'll continue to dream, untill I can't stand it no more.
Well take care everyone. See ya!

April is here!

Tue, 31 Mar 2009 23:36:47 GMT

I hate 1st of April. its the day when people think they are so fucking funny and can trick people. Honestly, what the hell is so fun with that? Can understand it. I think last time I tricked someone on April's fool was when I was 13years old. Almost ten years ago.
This tradition could die for all I care. This is the one day I can't trust a single soul. Well only a few, that knows how much I hate this day.

Well I updated the picture to the right here today. I was thinking of doing some small advertisment for Cross Edge. Even if its due to be released next month. The picture is of Misha from Ar Tonelico. She is a playable character in Cross Edge.
For more info on this game you can check it out on RPGamer.
Wish I had a DS this month. I would really have liked to get a hold of
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier, for the system.
Since it looks to be a pretty nice RPG, plus the game has KOS-MOS as a playable character. How can I not want that? No one with a spare DS they can let go of cheaply?

I should have mentioned this before, but I have started to watch Scrubs. Rather I'm midway thru season 4. Gotta love that show. "The Todd" is awesome. Highfive people!
I've keept playing Resident Evil 5. Trying to get all trophies in the game. Well since I got nothing else to play at the moment why not? And once that is done I'm moving on to take on Uncharted again in the crushing difficulty.
So I guess that's how stuff is right now. I need to start writing more of my own material. I really want to do something! Reviews or whatever. Even if I suck at it.
Take care untill next time people!

And old love

Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:20:12 GMT

I check some of my old, very old mp3 cd. And found the soundtrack for Lunar 2 Eternal Blue Complete. I then started to remember how much I love that soundtrack. I can honestly say this is one of those soundtracks that I love really much, I used to listen to it all the time in the past. I guess this was my first videogame soundtrack love. And I still love it today. Get filled with all the emotions I feeled when I played the game. Same when I listen to Lunar Silver Star Story Complete soundtrack too. While I do like many other game soundtracks, there are none other than the Lunar games soundtrack that can stir up emotions for me.
Well not emotions like this. I must get the games in my collection I just must.

Do you have a game, soundtrack or anything else that brings out emotions like this for you? If so tell me. I would like to hear.

Resident Evil 5 cleared!

Wed, 25 Mar 2009 18:32:38 GMT

So I finished Resident Evil 5 a few days ago. Good game.
Better than I thought. But I still feel it was a bit dissapointing as a Resident Evil game. Its a really good action game, but if they had called it something else than Resident Evil I would have been more pleased. Why? Well its moslty some story releated things I don't like how they turned out. I also feel like they "ruined" some characters.
Won't go much more into that, since they it will be spoiler galore
The game has a really good co-op mode, I really enjoy playing this game with friends it makes it a whole lot better. There is a whole lot to do in the game so at least you can't complain about you finishing it to fast, and that there is nothing else to do.
If you want everything in the game it will take a couple of hours to accomplish.

In other news, it seems like Tales of Vesperia will se the light of day in Europe in June! Same month as Star Ocean 4. Well that's about fucking time! Now I just somehow need to get an Xbox 360 and try to get a hold of the game. Much much easier said than done. Its depressing. Really depressing. =(

Dragonball Evolution... Oh, dear god...

Tue, 17 Mar 2009 04:17:26 GMT

I just finsihed watching Dragonball Evolution. You know, the REAL Dragonball movie. And holy shit. This has to be the worst movie I've ever seen. Well at least one of the worst. I don't even know where to begin to bash it. This is one is just as shitty as the second Mortal Kombat movie. Just as bad as Power Rangers the movie, but without some of its charm. Well it had charm if you liked Power Rangers. I feel like DB Evolution, raped everything that is Dragonball. And as an old DB fan, I recommend no one to watch this garbage. Please people! Save your money, don't let them get money for a sequal. I do not normaly complain about bad movies. But then again, this one was utter shit. The only good thing about the movie was that Piccolo was okay. And had about 7 minutes of screentime in total. All actors felt bad, probably due to crappy script. Hopefully. No, please people don't go and see this, don't pay money fo it. Gagh!

RE5 - Impressions #1

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 22:50:07 GMT

So I've played a little bit of RE5. I'm not a big fan of the controlls, but hopefully they will grow on me. The action has been good.
Sheeva is just in the way the entire fucking time. God I wish she wasn't in the game. Not as an A.I at least. I'm looking forward to try this with kntheking . Now there is where the real fun will be, playing co-op with a buddy. Can't wait to try that.

I've also started to use Twitter. Hope livejournal can add support for it here. So I can have my twitter in the sidebar. I like it, since I can post just some small things on the go.
Well don't know. I just seem to like it. So I hope it get's supported.

Resident Evil 5 is here!

Fri, 13 Mar 2009 10:01:46 GMT

Got the game now! Just going to check my regular sites, then I'm of to try the game. And hope I will like it. Please let me like it.
And a big congratulations to my buddy Kntheking! You know why man! I won't post it here untill you do.
