christmas? no, seriously?!

this entire month has been a total anticlimax for me. I have hardly been outside, since I felt I had no reasons to, so I mostly looked through the window and hoped for snow. today I've been out, though, to buy presents for my family. they're totally symbolic due to my empty pockets, but I feel like I have to give them all something for being there for me and bearing over with missing presents. I haven't had any real coping skills the last few (read: many) years. oh well. I've wrapped them in old FOEG-posters, since I'm not so big on buying wrapping paper. and then I'm washing some of my clothes in the bathroom sink.

oh yes, and yesterday I was at Tine's place where we played Skyrim for hours and hours. what a great game! okay, not great, but amazing and fantastic and awesome and beautiful, and SO entertaining! we hadn't played for more than three hours before I had to kill a dragon under the aurora borealis-lit night skies. WAUW. I'm hooked. I have to buy it for myself; I can't stand not to.

tomorrow I'm going to my mother's place to spend the Christmas days with her and my brother. we're only going to be us three this year and the only three things we're going to do are eat, play board games and sleep in.

last november

last winter (and some before it) my (step)dad lived in London, practically on River Thames. it had an amazing view of the inner city; you could see London Eye and London Bridge with the naked eye. these photos are from when my brother and I went visiting last November. I didn't feel so great last year, but I remember feeling very happy while being in the Seacon Tower. it also helped with lovely food and coffee and soda and all that stuff. I bought Fallout 3 and played for, I don't know, a million hours and then my save was deleted - WTH - and I haven't really played a whole lot since. it's an amazing game, so if you like gaming and haven't tried it (not likely) then do.

my dad moved back to Denmark over the summer, so no London this year. dang it. he now lives in Århus with his girlfriend and they're expecting a baby boy, so come April I'll have two brothers. it's crazy how little time it actually takes to make a human being - poof! new person! unbelievable.

later today we're going to look at an apartment with three rooms and a friggin' garden! yeah. fingers crossed.

when you shine on

you should listen to Air Waves!
it's so good. I tried writing something about this, but I'm having a hard time describing it, so I'll let it talk for itself.

we're trying out the game Limbo right now. it's really something! it's so beautiful and so frightening at the same time. a little boy wakes up in Limbo, a scary and dark forest and searches for his sister, meeting troubles and puzzles along the way.

it took a little time to learn how to wake him up and control him, since there are no instructions, but it makes it that more exciting to play. it's from the new Danish game developer, Playdead. we're only playing the demo, so, unfortunately, we're done soon, but after only five minutes of playing I had already decided to buy the game. I recommend it to anyone who likes video games!
happy Tuesdaaay.

(glæd)

tager mini-pause fra østrig-indlæg for at dele ting jeg glæder mig til:

Max Payne 3 er sat til at skulle udkomme til PS3 i USA d. 1. august - Europaudgivelsen er ikke fastsat endnu - men de satser vist på at det også kommer hér i løbet af august. jeg kan desværre ingen trailers finde, men det må jeg have til gode.

Agent har endnu ingen dato, men skulle gerne udkomme til PS3 inden slutningen af i år.
jeg ved ikke så meget om det endnu, andet end at det er fra Rockstar Games, og at det bliver nogenlunde samme spilstyring som i de forrige spil. og at det handler om noget med agenter.

det er så hårdt at vente!


jeg glæder mig også til at skulle i skole igen. det er allerede næste mandag! vi skal have maskinbogbind de første tre uger, og det glæder jeg mig endnu mere til. må få lavet så meget jeg overhovedet kan nå. yes. jeg gamede med Maja og Johan i aftes, og det fik mig til at glæde mig lidt endnu mere. vi spiste pizza og fik endelig dræbt kæmpeormen i Gears of War 2 (den havde tre kæmpehjerter). selvom sommervejret ikke har været det vildeste at glæde sig over, er der heldigvis andre ting der kan gøre en sommer god.

L. A. NOIRE ♥

på min fødselsdag d. 19. fik jeg L. A. Noire til min ps3 af Tobias og jeg begyndte at spille med det samme. havde glædet mig virkeligt længe til at se hvordan det var, og jeg blev ikke skuffet. grafikken er meget (!) flot, men mit fjernsyn er desværre en stor, grå kasse med farvefirkantsskærm, så den må være endnu flottere end hvad jeg har set.

musikken er fra 40'erne og meget iørehængende, især fordi man hører de samme numre igen og igen hele tiden. historien er virkeligt spændende, og selvom der gik lidt tid før jeg begyndte at holde af min hovedperson, Cole Phelps, er de "cases" man skal opklare totalt gennemførte og afhøringsdelen er behageligt svær.

Cole Phelps, spillet af Aaron Staton

skuespillet er fuldstændig fantastisk, og det føles hele vejen igennem som om man er med i en rigtig detektiv-film fra 40'erne. karakterernes bevægelser er utroligt realistiske, og når man tit skal regne ud om der er nogen der lyver, er det helt sublimt. der er, ligesom i GTA, små sidehistorier, der faktisk er det, jeg synes fungerer allerbedst i spillet. der er mange, de er spændende og de er ret hurtigt overstået, så man ikke når at stresse for meget over presserende hoved-"cases".

9/10

jeg havde gennemført spillet tidligt d. 23., og følte mig underligt tom.

nu hvor playstation store er heldigvis lige blevet åbnet igen efter virkelig lang ventetid, har jeg endelig fået dowloadet ekstrasagen Naked City. det bliver så fedt at vende tilbage.
