GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Monday, Feb 25, 2008

It's been a while since I was here. The reason was a good mix of schoolwork and good old fashioned laziness. A month ago we got a project at school that lasted 3 weeks. I usually go to GameSpot when I we have some open time at school, and this project kept me outside the classroom. When I'm home I usually just read some news when I'm on GS. After the project we had a week off, which I spent sleeping too much and travelling to visit my bf's parents for a few days. So I'm sorry that I haven't commented in blogs and such. Time just flew by.

So what is new? In my personal life, not much. It's still going well. School during the day and spending time with games and my bf during the afternoon. I do, however, miss my friends and family back home more and more. I can't wait to see them all again.

In my gaming life however, things have been busy. I have completed a few games (Assassins Creed and Heavenly Sword to mention two) and started some new ones. I have fallen completely in love with Rogue Galaxy. It is the first RPG that has made me want to complete it 100%. Don't get me wrong, there are other RPGs I love, but completing all sidequests and such seems like such a hassle. In RG I got to the final boss and thought "I don't want this to be over!" and I turned around in the door and started playing around with sidequests. There is so much to do! I'm having a great time with it though. (Neko, you know what I'm talking about)

This obsession with RG has taken it's toll on other games. I got Devil May Cry 4, but haven't been able to get past the 3 first missions. I liked it, but I just can't get myself to put down RG. I have also started Super Mario Galaxy, which is a great game so far. Those Lumas are so damn cute! On friday Persona 3 will -finally- be released in Europe and I can't wait to get my hands on it! My PS2 is in other words working overtime, while the next gens are collecting dust. (Poor babies!)

I've seen some new (in Norway anyways) movies at the cinema too. I would recommend "Cloverfield". I don't know why, but I ended up really liking it. I hope there will be a sequel with a few more answers. I also liked "Jumper", but not as much. It had some pretty awesome scenes and special effects and good entertainment value. The story wasn't very well developed though. It was a bit like the first Harry Potter book: an introduction to this new universe and the "war". It could have been a great concept for a TV show, where the story and characters could develop. I would love to see a sequel where the war goes all out. Could you imagine how cool it would be with an all out battle between Jumpers and Paladins? In the end I did enjoy the movie even if it wasn't one of the best I have seen. It is, however, a bit disturbing that nobody seems to realize that Hayden Christensen has no acting skills at all.

Lastly, I want to mention "Sweeny Todd". I'm a huge fan of Tim Burton, and I also like musicals so this movie was just about perfect. I loved the style of it, the costumes and the music. I had no idea that "Borat" himself was in it, so I got a good laugh when he showed up. I want more Burton!

So that was my month in a nutshell. How is everyone else doing? Good, I hope! I'll get around to check people's blogs and the Unions soon. Ciao!
