So today I decided to get this game, and man do I love it!
I've played for a bit and even gotten a trophy. Made a custom fighter and playing with him now.
This is him:

I'll be back later with a full review.
On the 25th of may is towel day in honour of Douglas Adams.
The authour of the multimedia phenomenon "The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" and other works. If you're a fan you'll know the significans of this day and will understand it.
I'll be marking the day. Will you?
GateWorld conducted it's 100th interview and the subject of it was Sanctuary. They talked with Amanda Tapping; executive producer and lead actress in the fantastic series Sanctuary. A show about the supernatural. The interview runs about 30 minutes.
The interview:
I am so stoked it got renewed for a second season as I have it in my top 10 tv-series of all times. The series was born on the internet in the form of a web show and got picked up by The Sci-Fi Channel and got reworked abit and now is in pre-production (they are shooting it as I write) for season 2. I'm looking forward to it.

On the subject of the torture that has happen in the pursuit of justice for 9/11. I have been following this for quite a while but mostly silently. I have been disgusted by the Bush goverment for letting(or making) it happen. Now I'd like to see them be held responsible for it.
This sums it all up

The third series in the Stargate franchise is set to start airing this fall and here are the first few glimpses from it!
I'm psyched now!
I'm a die-hard Stargate fan and while I'm sad the other two has ended this third installment has me yet again excited for Stargate. And there are a third SG-1 movie in development and a SGA movie too. So the future is looking good for us the stargate fans :-)
And the MMO Stargate Worlds is also in development and while I'm kinda done with MMO's I might return to it if it's great (as it has to be to shell out for a monthly subscription to play)
A.K.A My Neighbor Totoro.
Creator: Hayao Miyazaki of Studio Ghibli
Rated E for everyone , production year 1988, cinematic release in Norway 30th march 2007. Watched in japanese with Norwegian subtitles.
So I watched this for the first time ever this wednesday evening. I'd had a crappy prank pulled on me at the end of my work shift and was rather miffed and not really in the best of moods. So I needed something to take my mind off things.
Oh my lord! Did it ever!
Okey short plot summary first.
It's about a four year old girl called Mei and her big sister Satsuki, they are moving to this old house in the forest with their father while their mother is in hospital for unknown reasons. And then little Mei meets the forest guarding/spirit Totoro and an adventure unfolds. I'm not going any further as I want everyone to watch this movie.
I was so taken with the art style and the artistic workmanship that had gone into the movie and the story is just great. A gem, a treasure really. I've watched quite a few movies out of Studio Ghibli and mr. Miyazaki has been involved in all of them in one way or the oher and that studio has become one of my favourite outlets for anime. Art and storytelling meeting in an animated medium. Quality.
I felt a level of happiness watching this that I rarely do. The movie simply was a joy to watch. I highly recommend it to anyone. I went to bed feeling all warm and fuzzy all over and inside. Yes this all sound really corny and silly don't it? Well I don't care! I was made truly happy by this movie and it's like a bunch of puppies and kittens kind of good. You know? Oh and I want a cat bus too!!
My highest recommendations.
Watch it, you will thank me later
Got this game yesterday, bought at GAME, took it home and plugged it into my DS.
Right, first one simple fact about the game. It has not been out in Europe before. Not on the PlayStation nor the Super Nintendo. So I have been wanting to play this since about '95. Well sure I could have modded my PlayStation to play a US release but I am abit of a purist when it comes to my consoles and like to keep them 100% original.
And so far... I'm NOT disappointed! This game is fantastic. I've played for about 6 hours so far and I'm already involved with the characters. I've renamed them all because I can and because I just want to personalize my play experience. The story has already gripped me and I'm involved in the game. Might this game be the game to make me cry? Long rambling shorten; I'm loving this game! I might come back with a full review once I've finished the game.
And the music is some of the best scoring I've heard in a game (or anything). I kept sitting/laying there humming along while playing. I rarely do that.
Today I had a really busy day at work. I've started abit on my new job at the airport in the kiosk department. I've had a sort of crash course in it. and I've also worked the busting tables and cleaning job as well. Multitasking like a fiend at work these days, being in every work place bar the grill basically. Making that cash. yeah.
Tonight I'm frustrated as I want to pay games but my bloody arms are too tired to play. I might just go and fetch my DS and play it. Hmm.. No I got it. I'll read. Surely that must work, hold book flip pages.. Yeah, that'll work.
Other than work I just try to keep up with everything else.
It's been quiet on my front lately. haven't really been up to much besides sleeping, eating and working. Well that's only somewhat true. I've been reading abit, finished the first part of Barack Obama's book Dreams From My Father. So far it is a really good read. It's very honest and direct while showing a great use of contemporary english, I find it to be great writing. Once I've finished the book I'll come back with more thoughts on it.
And I've been keeping up with my fave shows; Countdown, Rachel Maddow etc. I was saddened today watching the final episode of Stargate Atlantis ever (well there is one movie coming) and it was a real good SGA episode. And I've watched Sanctuary, a great new show featuring Amanda Tapping of Stargate SG-1 fame. And bought myself new awesome nerd shirts, one Hulk and one Iron Man.
Today I've been contemplating importing some books. As the shops here is unable to get the books I tend to want to read, but I have a tendency to find kind of obscure titles that is written by people that noone here has ever heard about. I'm thinking ordering them straight from the USA (amazon.com FTW) but I need to find out what it'll cost me first.
And I've been in town and finally gotten myself a proper single malt to enjoy, going to pour myself one in a little while. I could finally afford to buy one.
The end to my evening/night? I went on YouTube and put on Caramelldansen (SSBB version) and wiggled my hips and bounced around to the beat. Jolly good fun every now and then and a frikking good "get the heartrate up" thing to do. What can I say sometimes you just need something totally silly.
This movie is a dream to watch, it has everything you would want in a movie. The cinematic landscape is fantastic, the way it had been filmed was just stunning. And it contributed greatly to the atmosphere and while I didn't watch it on a 7:1 sound system the sound of the movie was special. And the special effects was really well done.
The story fits well with who I think Batman is. Christian Bale does a great job portraying our dark caped crusader. The Dark Knight and Batman Begins is in my opinion the best of the live action Batman movies. And Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine brings something subtle yet good to the table. Heath Ledger (may he rest in peace) was fantastic as the lunatic Joker. I wonder who will fill the Joker suit in the next Batman (which I really think will come). I was immersed all the way through and found myself sliding closer and closer to the screen as the movie progressed. This movie is the best movie I've seen this year. Yes it beat Iron Man! One thing that struck me during watching this, Iron Man and Batman are the two superheroes that made themselves, they both rely on technology and their wit to beat the villains. Thank you DC and Marvel for taking your audience seriously and bringing us great movies of our superheroes. I assume both of you does monitor the produtions.
The extras on the Blu-Ray is great. The Batman tech special is a wonderful thing to watch. Especially for a nerd like me. Very pleased with this release.
I'll sum it up with this:
Go buy it and watch it!!
