This one's for you, Pinng!

This article is for Pinng. But feel free to read it even if that is not your name.


Type your name if it's not Pinng!


Getting an article written for you as one person, that is a big thing in my blog. To get me to write something because of YOU, that my friend, is not easy (unless you pay me). There are however ways to make this happen.


1. You have pissed me off, really bad (possibly by showing me your face).

2. You have impressed me with anything (Barely possible since I've seen it all).

3.You have done something retarded (like for instance: lived).

4. I just don't like you (skip this one, I don't like many people, which means I'd have to write about everyone).

5. I like you (one person in the whole wide world fits this one).


For the record, number 5 is impossible if your name is not Irini and you are not my girlfriend.


The reason I am contributing this article to Pinng, is that he showed a particular interest in my “quest to complete all my games for the PS3”. This is a goal I have given myself, and it's about the retail games, not the ones downloaded from Playstation Network. I started this quest a while back, and to be honest, I haven't focused on it at all. I have completed two games of the ones I've had for a while and not completed. Viking: Battle for Asgard and Folklore. Both games are good games, I just haven't had the time to complete them since new games come out all the fucking time.

The two games I've completed since I started this quest.

Anyway, since I'm GREAT at buying new games, focusing on nostalgia trips and drinking beer, this quest is very hard for me. But, I won't give up. I have 5-6 games that I haven't completed yet, and hundreds on my wish list. And of course, some games are longer than others, some games are more fun than others, I've even played some of my games 5-6 times from start to end without even thinking about the games I have yet to complete.


Most of the people I know will think this article is boring. Fuck you. Most of the people I know don't even read this blog. Fuck you even more. And for those who actually read and comment, I suppose I like you, in some sort of retarded way. Don't get any hopes though, you are still far from number 5!


Some old hot chick saying "fuck you" to you! In Spanish!


Anyway, I also got questions about the reward for this quest. Since I am the one who came up with this quest, the logical rewards from myself to myself would be a good luxury masturbation while watching a good pornographic film with no anal. I really don't like anal. The most important thing is that there are lots of girls. Brunettes preferred, then redheads and then blondes. All shaved 100%. And... damn, I got carried away. Anyway, the reward is no such thing. The reward is pure and simple: nothing. I won't get anything from completing this quest. I will just have wasted lots of time on games that could've been better, on games that I don't really will feel like playing.


Nothing cost this guy 50 bucks, it will cose me a shitload of time!


So, the question everyone (or no one) is asking themselves: “Then why the hell is he doing this? Is he fucking retarded or something?”. First of all, I am not retarded, you are. I do this because I want to, because I don't like to give up (“I WON'T GIVE UP!”), because I don't like being half-done with stuff.


I hope this satisfied Pinng's mind. I am sorry if it didn't but then you could always watch some porn, with lots of girls, and sex, and no anal and... crap, it happened again.


Now, this is a SOCCER team!

Quest

I apologize for not blogging lately. I've been busy with my father. He had a heart attack (damn, that sounds nasty in English) and has been at the hospital the last week. So have I. He's back now, he's feeling good and there were no problems.

Irini is back from London, she bought BioShock and Sonic Unleashed there, so I've been playing a lot lately. I also started on FarCry 2 (finally) and it's actually kind of awesome.

My quest for completing all games I have for the PS3 has really started now.

An illustration of me on a quest to complete all games!

I completed Folklore the other day, and I recommend it to everyone that have it: Complete the game, the gameplay might not be awesome, but the story and the surroundings are breathtaking. I won't say more, but you will regret it if you don't listen to me.

Anyway, have a nice day dipshits!

I cried and I came.

I had my first crying moment in a while now. I was surfing around the internet when I came across a site with PSX (the original Playstation) games, and pictures of their covers, and oh my fucking god. It was a really awkward moment. I wont write more, just look at this and cry in joy with me!

One of the pictures I found which almost made me cry.

Monday morning.

Damn, this has been a hard weekend. I got off work early on Wednesday, and there my weekend started. Later that day a friend called me and asked if I wanted to join up with some buddies in Gule and drink. I was kinda sceptic at first, but then I figured: “What the hell, I have beer!”. I called a girl I know (Johanne) and got her to join too. When me and Johanne arrived, no one was there. We just walked right in and was greeted by the dog, Balto. Seriously, this dog is one of the most awesome creatures I've ever seen – and he's in love with me.


Balto - Ida's dog (the most awesome creature in the world).

Anyway, we started drinking and the host (Ida) and her boyfriend showed up and joined. We emptied bottle after bottle with beer and liquor, we danced, we sang (Lips for the 360 sucks), we had great fun. We were only six people, but one hell of a gang that is! I spent the night there. The day after I got up early and drove Johanne to a meeting and went back to Gule. Sat down with my friends 360 and tried Tomb Raider Underworld. I didn't get to try it out too much, but the small bit I tried, it wasn't for me. I also tried Kung Fu Panda, which is as great as every other child games based on animated films. The multi player was great fun though!

I met up with my father and went for some “potato ball” (which is epic food here in Norway). After dinner we went back to the party place and my friend started Mass Effect. I've completed it (brilliant game) and saw that he was near the end. I forced him to play and he reached the last boss. He didn't really inflict any damage on the boss at all, so he just gave up.


This is how a potato ball dish looks like.

We decided that they were to come to my place and hang out. We went, picked up Johanne and got home. We played a little Guitar Hero, and I showed them Fable 2 and then they went home. I was kinda bored with Fable 2, since I've played it WAY to much the last time now. So I started Gears of War. I lost all track of time since Gears of War is a good game. And I completed the game the day after.


The crew in Gears of War.

The Friday was kinda chill. Logged on MSN and found out that a friend of mine that was going to join drinking on Saturday had nothing to do. I told him he could drag his ass and Eternal Sonata over to me. And he did. Eternal Sonata is probably the best JRPG for the PS3 system at this time, and it's awesome! After I completed Gears of War I continued with Blue Dragon. I got from Disc 1 to Disc 3 this weekend, and I know that I am close to the end now, so I just fly around and kill stuff. Also a friend of mine brought his N64 and Zelda :Ocarina of time. We had a real fun night with gaming and a film with Steven Seagal in it.


Two epic pictures from Blue Dragon.

Got up around 11-12 the day after, sat down and started playing again. Clock ticked, and we started to get hungry. We went to the store to pick up some food and beer (since we were going out drinking). We figured: What the hell, let's start drinking ASAP. Got home from the store around 2pm and started drinking. We drank and played games until around 7pm when we were picked up for the party we were going to. Way to many people bailed on this night, and they should regret, 'cause this was one of the most awesome nights in the history of drinking! (You know who you are!).

Kept drinking until 6am and went to bed. That's 16 hours of drinking, and holy fuck it was awesome. Too bad for you that I don't know the people who took pictures this night.

I usually get up around 10 am (I set the alarm even in weekends), but this Sunday I said “fuck you” to the alarm clock and slept until 2pm. Got up and started gaming. Didn't stop until around 12-1am and went to bed.

This has been a random text, and the spelling and grammar surely sucks. But what the hell, it's Monday morning!

Nuns in porn...

… are a rare sight.



I'm on the bus right now, on my way home to an empty apartment. Irini is on vacation in London with her mother, so I have to watch two mailboxes, two apartments and possibly a house with two cats later this week. Anyway, I'm kinda looking forward to spending some days alone, I think it will do me good, and Irini. Not that we have problems, but we kinda have to learn how it is to spend time apart, 'cause if we are staying together for as long as we think, and getting the jobs we're aiming for – we won't get to spend everyday and all time together.

Also, it'll be much better to see each other after such a long time apart (it's a fucking week, grow up!). And not to mention the sex we shall have when she returns!

Anyway, this isn't supposed to be about our private life. It's supposed to be about my private life! I saw Yes Man yesterday – one of the most hilarious films I've seen in a long long time. Won't say anything else about it. You have to see it!


A picture from Yes Man.

I found out today, that I've been using WAY too much money on games. That kinda sucks. We're now talking about games that aren't mainstream and hyped, games that I won't buy on release, games that people don't know about, games like Dragonball Z, Conan, Folklore and such as (ha-ha). I've been spending 600nok (approx 60GBP) on each game I've bought. I've heard people talking about this site (even Irini) called Play.com. But I've never taken a look at it – that is, until today! I was sitting with my mouth wide open looking at the prices and the text saying “Free Delivery”. It was amazing, it was like paradise for poor gamers, I spent an hour just looking at games and prices. So awesome. My pants literally formed a tent.

And the good news today (except getting my bitch to London) – I get two days off work this week, possibly two and a half if I'm a good guy and work hard (which I always do). Not sure if I'm going to get home and babysit the cats for mother, or if I'm staying in Molde just to chill out and eat lunch with Rose (yeah, the guy that's no longer SECRETLY in love with me). We'll see when that time comes around.

By the way, I might have mentioned some of this shit in an earlier text, but don't be scared, they aren't the same, and all of them are worth reading (at least I think so).I think I mentioned something about a RAVE PARTEY too. And also I promised some friends to join them in getting drunk this weekend, and that we could get drunk at my place. I'm not so sure about that, I hate when people get me drunk by no stopping me from pouring liquor down mu throat. Anyhow, we'll see when the time comes. I know these people, and they won't ask me about anything until the day the actual drinking is taking place, often after the shops are closed. And they don't read my blog, so I don't really give a rats ass.

I'm considering to visit Osckars grave this week/weekend too. A very good friend of mine that died in a car accident on new years eve. Not much has been the same since. I don't want to write more about it though, makes me sad just thinking about it.

Have a nice “until-the-next-time-you-read-something-new-on-this-blog” then!

Updates

I'm not sure if everyone has gotten it in their heads yet, but I have moved back in with Irini, and therefore I have to update my list of games, I haven't gotten around to do that yet - guess I'll have time today, since Irini left for London.

Just wanted you all to know.

RAVE PARTEY!

Ok, I seriously don't know what's wrong with me today. I really feel like writing, and I've started using pictures. The reason to why I'm writing one more text today is that I forgot to mention some shit in the previous text. Oh, and I also forgot to call y'all dipshits!

Now that that's out of the way I can carry on. At the moment I'm on the bus, listening to The Black Mages (metal versions of Final Fantasy music, and Nobuo Uematsu is actually in the band!). It's awesome music, if people have the same taste in music as I have (which I doubt, 'cause my taste in music is FUCKED up. I can listen to everything, I just have to be in the correct mood. But usually it's metal, or something combined with metal, like Final Fantasy music, Irish drinking music or even classical pieces.


This is The Black Mages!


Anyway, some of the stuff I forgot to mention in my previous text (which was also posted today, and which you should also read). I've gotten around to see the new GTA IV downloadable content. I can't remember the name, but you're a biker and you own a gang (kinda get a flashback to San Andreas). There are of course standard GTA missions, but also now a whole new feature: GANG WAR! ..oh, wait, fuck, they've already done that, in GTA San Andreas. Well, I thought it was fun then, so I think it's awesome now! Also, I like killing people.... in GTA.


The main character in the GTA IV expansion!


I didn't get to follow so much on the story though, as I watched The Host at the same time as a friend of mine played. But I saw enough too see that I would have liked it if I were to buy GTA IV on the Xbox 360. That's doubtful though, as I have it on the PS3 system (and my guess is that when Rockstar see how much profit they make out of this, they'll release it for the PS3 too)!

Damn I like this music. Right now I'm listening to “Maybe I'm a Lion” from Final Fantasy VIII. And that reminds me – FFXIII (or Final Fantasy 13) might be pushed forward to 2009 again! Holy crap, my pants exploded in exciteness (yeah, I know it's not a word dipshit, so fucking what?) when I heard that! I'm really looking forward to it after all the videos I've seen. Since the series has kept a high standard from start to, well, now – my guess is that they will continue doing that.

Today I was supposed to get home to an apartment that looked like Hiroshima (just after the A-bombs fell), but I got a phone call from Irini, she said she's cleaned most of it, only the dishes left, and I can do that!

Zero Punctuation (my favourite game reviewer @ http://www.escapistmagazine.com) reviewed SKATE 2 today. And the only thing I really want to do now is get home, get my jeans of, get into something more comfortable, get my pizza in the oven, turn on my PS3 system, start SKATE 2, and just roll with it 'til bedtime! But no, guess what – I have to fucking raid today, 'cause I couldn't join last night. “Too many mages online.”, bullshit I say, it's probably just 'cause I have an STD. And they cleared the whole fucking Naxx in one night of course. So I really have to join tonight. I really want to play SKATE 2 today.

Next week I only have a three day week too, that's awesome, though it sucks 'cause Irini's in London looking up schools. So I'm all by my self, alone, lonely, in an apartment, an apartment to myself, all alone in a nice apartment.... RAVE PARTEY!

I've also applied for school this year. Me and two of my best friends in Molde. And today I found out that Lars (my fellow writer over at Stierbumsenscheisse) has applied for the same school! Do I smell a comeback? Man, think of all the great stuff we can test! Think about it, where at school again, 20 hours a week. And the school consists of ALMOST only girls (well, jailbait, to be precise).

So, I'm halfway home, bored as fucking hell (don't know how that's possible at all, but whatever). I don't think I have more on my heart now. I would really like it if people startet reading my blog. Kinda sucks to know that only a few people actually know about me. I mean, since I'm an awesome writer and such.

"This is so exciting!"

So, it's been a while. Well, there's been a lot of stuff going on. Or, not really, but there have been time consuming stuff going on.

First of all, I was kicked out by Irini (she refuses to call it kicking out, but I kinda like the sound of it) one Saturday, 'cause she was going to have a girl party. Anyway, I accepted and made plans myself. Called a friend of mine, we call HIM: Rose. He said yes, 'cause he's secretly in love with me, which isn't a secret any more, 'cause I just posted it on the internet!

Anyway, I packed the stuff I thought I would need and drove all the way to Rose. Figured we'd see a film or two after a delightful dinner made by his mother. The first film we saw was “Battle in Seattle” which was about a HUGE protest against an even LARGER world organization. The film was very touching, and it showed how fucked up the world really is – so to everyone out there who thinks the world is a good place, see that film.


A picture from "Battle in Seattle".

The other film we saw was some kind of Hostel-ish film, can't remember the name at the moment. It was okay, seen better.

After the films we decided to take an IQ test (I have no idea how we figured that out) together. We got a pretty good score, way over average. Then we started discussing IQ, logics and reasons. I found out something really interesting that night; EVERYTHING has a reason, no matter what, nothing happens without a reason. Now, don't you go misunderstanding me, this is no religious reason, or no “because if it didn't happen the world would end”-reason. Take for instance, I was going to prove to him that not everything happens for a reason, so I punched him. But before I got to say anything, the word “FUCK” jumped out of my mouth (it sounds kind of random when I tell it now). I figured I'd punch him without a reason, but then again, the reason I punched him was to show him there was no reason! You get my drift? Probably not.

Other exciting stuff that has happened? Well, I've been sick for about a week. No idea how to spell this in English, but the doctors suggested that I had “Akutt Tonsilitt”. I looked it up on google and figured out it was some bacteria in my lungs. I got some antibiotics for it and took the cure all the way out. Couple of days ago Irini called me while I was on my way home – and guess what – we had Chlamydia. We're on a cure right now, so we should be fine any time now. But fuck – two antibiotics treats in a week? That's a new record for me being sick.


Antibiotics (looks almost like the ones I was on).

Gaming news, I bought Fable 2 (Xbox 360), Gears of War (Xbox 360), God of War Chains of Olympus (PSP), Prince of Persia (PS3), Super Sonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle-Cars (PS3), Burnout something something (PSP) and another copy of SKATE 2 so that me and Irini can play onlie with/against each other. Skate 2 is awesome.



Some of the games I've gotten this last period.

I think that's about all the exciting shit that has happened to me lately. If anyone knows anything else, please tell me. I'm back at work, feeling almost great. I've cleared all of the Wrath of the Lich King raid content. I've spent too many hours sleeping when I could have been gaming – the usual stuff.

Oh, I almost forgot I saw the most awesome rubbish English dubbed Korean horror film yesterday!
I recommend it to no one, 'cause it sucked, but I also recommend it to everyone, 'cause the acting and the dubbing was insanely funny to watch, and the story was actually quite good. This film is called "The Host" (2006).

Am I the only one who hate taking the bus?

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Not having any ideas at all... sucks!

So, this weekend was a rough one. My plans was to sit at home, chill out with a couple of beers and just relax.

Well, friday was ok, I had a pizza, a few beers and finally got to play SKATE 2, that was about all I did that night.

Saturday was supposed to be like friday, but hell no. Me and Irini was asked to join a few people to the movies, so we went and saw Twilight (not a bad movie actually). While the movie was playing, I was invited to two different parties. Also a friend tried to call me, I guess he was to invite me to another one, so make it three.

I decided to give two of them a call, and figure out some way to get them at one place. I wasn't really too excited about going drinking, as I had planned to chill out. Anyway, after I figured out who was having the parties I got kind of excited anyway.

So, we all ended up drinking, and at least me and a friend kept it going 'til almost 8 am sunday.

Sunday was kind of chill, got home to Irini around 3.30 pm, Rose was there, we all chilled out and Watched Pineapple Express (which is an EPIC movie).

So, that's the weekend for you.

Yeah, I knew you'd get that – I actually bought SKATE 2 on release, but didn't get to play it until Friday.

Many people say that SKATE 2 wasn't as good as it should be. I don't know, I really enjoy it. The only thing that bugged me was that it wasn't possible to go backwards when off the board, except when you were moving an object.

SKATE 2 is a great game, if you liked SKATE, you must get SKATE 2!

So, I kinda just wanted to do a blog article. I dunno why, but here it is. And it sucks, 'cause I don't know what to write.

I've started working out though, but more on that some other time.
