Yea. Im putting a big "RETARED" stamp on American Wasteland and sending it back. I just cant play Tony Hawk. I just cant. I cant memorize some insane trickcombo with like "A-Down+Y, LB+Y, RB + LB, A+Lb" and then execute it smoothly. Its purely impossible. Ive been a hardcore gamer for all my life and the only achievement i will ever get out of American Wasteland is the 50 points for buying some new clothes. Tony Hawk is friggin HARD. Hard hard hard. And im only in the beginning of the game. I cant imagine the dedication you´ll need to complete this game. Cant even begin to imagine.

In other news. I finally have 1000 / 1000 points of Tomb Raider: Legend. I kinda did it the most painful way. I played through the game once on normal, played through all the levels again (with many tries on each) for the Time-Trials and then went back to play all the levels once again on Hard. As if that werent enough i went back and scavanged each level yet another time after that for hidden rewards. So i now know every inch of every level in TR: Legend. You need to find something in a small dark corner in the middle of the West Africa level? I will surely know where to find it!. Great game by the way. I actually didnt mind playing though each level a gazillion times.

And oh. Heres a picture of the dinner i made yesterday, You know, sometimes when youre just tired of buying another pizza or taking the car to McDonalds yet again, you actually place yourself in the kitchen and cook something. I made Fried Chicken Bits with Jasmine Rice, Onion Rings and Chili & Curry sauce. Mighty tasty!

Found this really wierd bewerage in my local store today in a freezer where i hadnt looked before. They looked pretty forgotten where they stood all by themselves. The Can says: "A refreshing non-alcoholic drink made with natural aromas from sour oranges and natural aromatic herbs". Its supposed to be bittersweet and can be mixed with vodka and stuff like that. I took the package with 6 cans and went for the counter not realizing that the pricetag on these babies was like 9 dollars for 6 cans.. Well it sure was an odd sensation to drink one. Its like schweppes drink mixer but its not carbonated and has a more herbal fravour to it. Well heres me trying it out and the gut reaction after drinking it.

--------------------

---------------------

Well. Im surely gonna drink em all up considering what i payed for it.

I know i like pictures from very far countries so heres one for the international audience. My location: The Countryside -> Eastern Sweden -> Scandinavia -> Europe -> World -> Milky Way - Universe.The following is pictures ive taken over the last couple of days near where i live.I cant get the Pictureimport thingy to work so i will link to the pictures instead.
*EDIT* Got the picture import to work with Firefox. Sweet!

My House. My Gaming HQ:

Some pictures along the way to the nearest town:

And some picture IN the nearest small town. Vänge. Where i go to buy a cola or fill up the car and things like that.

There. this is where i live my life when im not at work or somewhere else.

The NintyNine Nights Demo is out on XB Live Marketplace, Go get it. At least its out where i´m at. Its the most anticipated X360 game for me so far and the demo defenitaly left me crawing for more. The feeling of charging into a huge horde of goblins and just seeing the killcount rise with each supercool move and combo. Only thing thats a bit sad is the awful English voiceacting. I want original language (japanese) with English subs. That would be awesome if it was an option in the full game. Anyways. A religious day for me. Cant wait to play the full thing, hurry it up. Only listening to the Mainmenu music gives me goosebumps. mmm.

I also got like 900 points out of NBA Live 06 in like 5 minutes. What a total crew up of EA. Thanks! Getting the rest soon and sending it back to rent FN Round 3. I hears its pretty easy points to.

So im sitting here waiting for my friend Robert Gregory to show up on XBLive again so we can continue the Prey Achievmentboosting. Its like, the most boring thing you can do. Choosing a small map and letting the respawner run to a decided point to let the other one get 25 kills on him with a decided weapon. You choose Team-DM so you eventually get both the DM and the Team DM killachievements. I think im gonna go cook myself some noodles, chop up an onion and put it in there together with some Wok vegetables.

Worked my final night last night. From Midnight to about 5 AM i worked on the FSM05 machine. It sorts small mail to our area, Uppsala. Worked there with this girl Elin. One of a billion people who works there extra on summers. Shes a very.. energetic person..yea, at 3 AM.. Well i´ll leave it at that. Shes a nice gal, always in a good mood. I also payed my bills yesterday and realized i will be living off above named noodles until the Taxrefund arrives. Why did i have to go and buy those 17" Rims with high performance tires for my car? Its like 200 dollars of payment a month for several months.

In other news I just got myself over 5000 Achivementpoints. Its so little. I should have started caring about the points waaaay earlier. Anyway, im getting there. 10,000 here i come.

Until next time!

Ok i need to write down what ive achieved over the last couple of days, for my own sake. Now lets see, hmmm. Finished Prey on normal, bought and completed Feeding Frenzy and decided to continue with the insane timetrials in Tomb Raider Legend. About half of them completed. Gonna complete them and then go for the Hard adventure and the sweet 175G. Ive played alot of Ridge Racer and i have realized how its not really worth playing for the points. Ive played my ass off online to unlock cars and then drove with a specific car on a specific stage to unlock a whopping 7 points!.. Driving 800km (like 5 hours of effective gametime) gave like 5 points...i mean come on. Im feeling im not achieving alot in that game and races in the World Xplorer mode are getting hard now and demands several replays before you win. To get 1000 points out of RR6 you need months of hardcore playing..yea, so i dont think im gonna bother with RR6 for much longer for points. The Pac-Man achievement is driving me nuts. Ive been trying for hours to get another stunning 5G. But to no avail. I mean come on, 15.000 points on 1 stage of Pac-Man? Been restarting the game forever since you cant choose the game from the menu for some reason.. In anger of all this im now gonna give me that serious pointboost that everyone else already used. Im gonna rent The Sportsgames!! Da-duuum!! Im gonna rent both of the FIFA´s, NBA´s and the Fight Night R3. Those are like free 5000 points put together. First two games should be arriving next week. Due for my 3 weeks off work.

In other news, the tax-refund should be arriving soon and my friend in Tokyo insists i should upgrade my Nin DS to a Lite from Tokyo that he will ship home for me. We´ll see how that turns out. Im at the very last caste in New SMB at the moment. Quite the challenge even for an experienced platformer like myself.

Ok. so jumping back and forth between subjects, should i complete Prey again for another like 65G? And whos up for some Multiplayer achievementboosting? Add me!

Worked my first night yesterday night after a 6 week vacation. Im pretty tired today and im going back to work again in 2 hours. Im working at a mailterminal. Working usually between about 7.30 PM to 5 AM. Coming home, listening to some Johnny Cash, calming down, watching some Naruto, eating some breakfast and going to bed. Was pretty harsh to start working again after getting used to the free time but also great to meet all the cool people again. After the "morning" coffee today (about 2 PM) I managed to get through i think 2 levels more of Prey. Closing in on the grande finale now. Ive also been playing some Ridge Racer 6 of course, realizing how long it will take to get to the end of its huge huge World Xplorer mode. Best thing about Ridge Racer so far except the sense of speed and cool drifts are its kickass soundtrack. Im no great fan of electronic music (although i listen to it sometimes when im in the mood) but RR´s rave, house and electronic mixes are really a pleasure for the ears when youre flying forward in great speeds. Tomorrow im going to Eskilstuna to watch a concert with Status Que. Im no fan on theirs but it should be fun anyways. Its not BAD music, its ok to rest your ears on. 

Yesterday night i decided to really put in an effort to get some more points out of my latest investement, namely Table Tennis, since today, 2 new games arrived and i will be playing those for a period of time. I kinda sat from like 8 PM to 3 AM with Table Tennis wich resulted in the following achievements:

The Natural - 20G, The Veteran - 60G, The Competitor - 20G and The All-Star - 30G. It was "The All-Star" that took most of those hours. Some of the guys you face in that difficulty is a joke. Im glad i never have to do that again.

Well. Today Prey and Ridge Racer 6 came with the mail. Been playing Prey for a couple of hours, loving it to death. You just FARM Achievement Points. The levels are pretty easy so far and you gain points for even the shortest of sequences. And the game itself is an excellent shooter. Jeff didnt know what he was mumbling about giving the game 7 something. Its easily a 8.5+ game so far. Cudos once again to John Carmach for the Doom 3 Engine. Shoutout of the day to John Carmack. Live and prosper man!

I have decided to rate ALL the games I have EVER played here on Gamespot. This turned out to be quite the task and so far ive gone through NES, SNES, Xbox and the 360. I am now on the letter "H" on my PC drivethrough. You realize that you have played ALOT of games growing up when you go through lists like this. But this is a task that has to be completed for the sake of the real life achievement points! This way I will automatically get a toplist so that I can finally answer people who ask that hard quiestion: "What is the best game you have ever played".

And oh, I finally completed the Main storyline in Oblivion. That was some cool last battle. wow.

Well ok, I decided to give Oblivion another chance. I officially put that game on the shelf about a month ago because, well, I couldn´t get anywhere in the game due to my own incapability of choosing what and who to be. I started off making a Paladinclass wich I, after about 10 hours of gameplay decided to stop playing with because I wasnt happy about some skills and to be honest I thought she looked like mugooh and I couldn´t take that, it was a splinter in my mind. So I created a Warlock instead. Dark elf, big red beautiful eyes. But after about 12 hours of gameplay I came to the conclusion that being a magician only class in Oblivion officially sucks donkey snout. Because first and foremost it is impossible to aim spells properly. I end up wasting all my mana on the dangerous floors, walls and plants that "inhabit" Tamriel. The thing with walls tho, is that they dont seem to lose very much HP from my gigantic fireballs of almighty Doom-power. So I sacked the warlock, to hell with the Warlock. I felt the urge to be like Greg Kasavin. I wanted to be an Orc. A big smelly Orc that bashes things and..yea..bashes things (with Blunt-weapon proffiency). The thing with the orc tho was that I managed to get the Daedric artifact that you need for the main story line BEFORE I even knew I needed it for the main story and I kinda sold it to some cheap vendor in the middle of nowhere and it was nowhere to be found. So I kinda destroyed my own Main quest. Really smart..So there I was with 3 characters with a total of 30 hours of playtime put into them. At that point I said to myself: "Screw this". Well here I am about a month later and Im actually trying to complete this game for real this time. It actually seems like I will be able to go for the 1000 points of Oblivion this time. Im all happy with my Khajiit warrior. We have a wonderful relationship....what? dont look at me like that. shoo.

Yea OK. So im wierd. I need to have a PERFECT character to play through an RPG like Oblivion, but thats who I am.
