The first snowfall of the year. Swedish winter begins NOW. Cant wait until spring arrives again. Constant cold, snow and darkness for 5 months is not my thing. But anyway, I just ran out and snapped some photos of the first snow of the year just for the sake of it (full size versions in photosection of my profile).
they call "Americas favorite burger" on the menu until next week. So when I was at the local mall today I decided to try it out at the McD they have there. They call it the "Pepper Jack" and its supposed to be the burger that you guys in the states loves the most so they bring it over here to let us taste it. I have to say it was a pretty nice burger. Rather big with a tasty peppersauce, went down nicely with loads of fries, 2 garlic dips and a big Coke Zero as usual. My point here tho is not to point out how good the actual burger was, its to ask you guys thats actually living over there if this burger even exists. See,I get very suspicious when I see stuff like this. I´d like to think that its a cheap marketing trick to make stupid Swedes buy more burgers and keep them away from "Max" wich is a very big burgerjoint here. I´d like to think that they have just "invented" a new burger and call it for a real american burger so we think it would be cool to taste it, just like I did today. So, my question to all the
American Gamespotters out there today is: Does "Pepper Jack" actually exist in any part of the United States of America or is this the big marketing thing that I suspect it to be? Or another question would be: If they call it the "International Weeks", is it a week that the whole world has? Is there something called the "International Weeks" over there to and if so, do they serve European hamburgers in your local McD´s. Answer me so that I can finally find out if it was a real down to earth, 100% cool American hamburger I ate today. And if your local burgerjoints are serving international burgers, whats the names of the burgers and where are they from?

Hi! This is the end of my life until December comes.
The end of October and the whole of November of 2007 will be the craziest, most over the top insane gaming month of my life. This will be the most expensive and most enjoyable month of gaming I have ever endured. Theres a simply INSANE amount of games so good they might all be amongst the best I´ve played in years and they are all coming out right next to the other one (and some titles will hit my mailbox the exact same day as another game)for over 1 month. I will hardly have time to play them all. Here´s the titles im buying over thecoming 40 days or so, and this is my list AFTER I´ve sorted away the gamesI do not REALLY REALLY BADLY need to play instantly. So this is the top of the top right here and its SWEET!
Metroid Prime - Corruption (Wii) October 26th
Timeshift(X360) November 2nd
Hellgate: London(PC) November 2nd
Naruto - Rise of a Ninja(X360) November 2nd
Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare(PC) November 9th
Gears of War PC(PC) November 9th
Assassins Creed(X360) November 16th
Super Mario Galaxy(Wii) November 16th
Crysis(PC) November 16th
Guitar Hero III - Legends of Rock(X360) November 23rd
Mass Effect(X360) November 23rd
Unreal Tournament III(PC) November 30th
I mean just LOOK at that pure MADNESS of gaming goodness. And on top of all that jazz theres several more games that I really want to play but that will have to wait. Games like Uncharted - drakes fortune, The Simpsons, Ratchet & Clank Future, Army of Two, Mario & Sonic at the olympic games, Super Smash Bros Brawl &Zack & Wiki. I cant find words for how completely insane this coming time is. I dont have the time nor the money to play all these games but somehow I have to come up with both of them. I really have no choice but to quit my job and rob a bank. I doubt there will be a gaming month so insane ever again in my entire life. I mean, once again, look at the list. Timeshift, Naruto & Hellgate on the same day, Call of Duty 4 and Gears of War on the same day, Assassins Creed, Super Mario Galaxy AND Crysis on the same day & Guitar Hero 3 and Mass Effect on the same frikkin day!!!! And in between that there´s AAA games all over the place hitting my mailbox like rounds from a chaingun. And as if that wasnt enough theres all these other games that I listed that I would like to find the time for trying out (+ Portal is already out, gotta try out that and the Orange Box sometime in there...). My mind is completely blown by all this. I guess I didnt know I could get TO MUCH of the good stuff when I decided to get all three consoles and a modern PC. Im going to overdose on games until December. See ya on the other side!
I hate popmusic and I never listen to radio. I listen to alot of music but Britney Spears isnt one of the artists im listening to. At
least not untilI recently found some really sweet clubmixes of her new song "Gimme more". Anyway, thats not the point. The point here is that I´ve had enough of all the hate towards Britney. Its come to the point where people hates her just because everyone else does and just because you are "wierd" if you do not hate her. I wanna put an end to that right here. Britney is one of our biggest popculture phenomenons ever, like it or not and she just had 2 kids wich she just lost. She have had a hard time lately and I´m gonna be the first one to cut her some slack. Her new single is actually a good song, and as I saidI usually hate popmusic. The video for "Gimme more" is hot and Britney is still very sexy if not more sexy than ever before. Do like me and let her off the hook. What have britney ever done to you? Go Britney, you are still the hottest popgirl around! It still comes down to media blowing everything up to sick proportions. Oh, and heres the mixes I really recommend of gimme more:
Stonebridge club mix / Sticky club mix / Seiji club mix. I like how this song has a more electronic feel to it rather than girlpop right from the beginning. The clubmixing of it makes it even more appearant. Good stuff.
Went out and took loads of fall pictures the other day and just combined one of them with a picture of Cliffy B to make this excellent Wallpaper that will fit perfecly on your PS3 or on your PC Widescreen monitor. Im using it on both! Full version can be found in my pictures section. Feel free to spread it!
Just finished the game and the review is now up.
