Hey :)

Tomorrow is going to be last day of my vacation :( I haven't done much this week but still I'm in pretty positive mind with everything :) I have rested which is important but I have been feeling little bit sick again :( I think the flu is coming back (again!) So what I have been doing in my vacation you ask? Well I have finished couple games. Which ones, you will see on my monthly blog. I started couple new games which I hope that I finish at least one more game this month. I checked and I noticed that I have pretty much bought every new game which I want this year. There is only 1 left... of course I will be buying games but those are probably older games on good price :)

I have been playing Assassin's Creed 2 since Friday and I have to say that ubisoft did great work with this one! There is much more things to do. There are about 22 weapons in the game you can buy, different kind of armors and now you have a own city and a manor which you can updgrade. I have bought all upgrdes for the city and collected everything it has to offer. In the manor I'm still missing couple weapons, (I have all the paintings) couple codex pages and I have to raid 2 more assassin's tombs but mostly I'm missing feathers... now that game has money and I have upgraded my city this means that I have steady income :) what else... I have finished 4/6 tomb missions and I have opened 4 different cities... Side missions are almost the same but there is variety unlike in the first AC. AC2 looks and sounds amazing but there is some problems with controlls. Sometime enzio just don't go there where you want him to go. also characters facial animations are awful! Game is otherwise perfect graphics wise but this stands out! Fighting is also pretty much the same as first AC and I did like the Story in the first one and this keeps everything going in a good way I just hope that ending is much better! oh and I have mention the killing animations! So !?#%& cool! :D

I have to say that this months "game of the month" is very hard to decide! I have played so many good games! It's still about a week until monthly blog and then you all will see what I have been doing in this month and which game is going to be game of the month :)

I woke up in the morning, I was relaxed, I did have very good sleep and I was in a good mood. But then... I walked downstairs and I notice that my dog has eaten my wallet, my credit cards, driver license and all other cards. and all other things which were on my wallet. And dog did throw up everything on the floor... Yep... I was feeling pretty good... So myplans of the day was ruined. I did spend most of my day going all the different places (without car it was taking me lots of time!) to order new cards ect. I did eat first time about 6pm! and I just managed to get everything done. But everything has been ordered now and I have to wait 1-4weeks to get every card. So if I want to get money, I have to go bank which is far away! and I pretty much can't do anything outside the house...

Evening was little bit better. I downloaded new firmare 3.10 to my PS3, nothing special there... and I finished my second playtrough on Modern Warfare 2. I played littlebit Spec-ops but it was boring on my own and I didn't have access to all the mission because some missions need 2 players... but with friend I'm sure those missions will be lots of fun! Anyone want to play spec-ops tomorrow or in the weekend? Send me a message if you see me playing PS3 :)

It has been... pretty good week so far. I haven't relaxed as much I have wanted. Work still goes around my head... Luckily I have managed to play some games and I'm pretty happy how much gaming I have managed to done this month :) I mentioned on my previous blog my PS3 game collection did go over 100 mark! :) I have finished about 85 or something... I just checked the amount... and more is coming :P

I'm waiting assassin's creed II :) I'm probably getting it tomorrow or on the weekend... maybe... I'm not in a hurry because I have so many games to finish :P I have been playing mainly now "Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2". I love the first one and second one has been pretty good. It is much easier(!), there is some camera problems but otherwise visuals are good and gameplay is solid. I'm just bothered how easy the game is! You unlock more difficulty levels when you complete the game but I'm not sure if I can find time to play it trough second time :( So many games... But I'm enjoying every second because I love playing games :)

One of my friend did buy PS3 little while ago but he doesn't play same games that I play. I have been trying to get him to buy some great co-op games but no... oh by the way I probably have to buy new headset on my PS3... every guy which I play says that my voice lvl is low and they can't hear me. Everything should be okay but... But now I'm finishing this one... have fun and enjoy your games (and life!) :)

I noticed that I have over 100 PS3 games! :D Total number is 101 :D 100th game was Ratchet & Clank: Crack In Time. So Yay me and let's play games! :)

Hello everyone! Today did start my winter holiday :) I'm going to play of course :D:P and probably watch anime :) But what I have been doing?

I got Ratchet & Clank: Crack In Time (PS3) and I have been playing it couple days now and I just finished my first run :) result: 40/40 gold bolts, 40/40 Zonis, all weapons modification parts, all the weapons (including Ryno V and couple "hidden" weapons, maxed all the weapons (lvl5) but I'm starting challenge mode where you can get your weapons to lvl10)) and and... one secret thing but I'm not going to spoil ;) yep... so lots of things. :D As I said I'm starting my second run in challenge mode where enemies are going to be harder and you will take much more damage... I give 9.5/10 for the game. If game developers would have updated the graphics little bit then game would have been full 10 but otherwise game is solid gold! I highly recommend! I bought Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (PS3) and I will be playing it also on my vacation :)

But what have you been doing lately? What games have you played and your thoughts about them? :) - MorkkiTH -

I just wanted to tell you I have modern warfare 2 (PS3)! :D:P Oh well... back to playing ;) :D

UPDATE: It seems that COD: MW2 has some kind of bug which keeps you not getting trophies :( I searched at the webworld and I found solution which helps some people (not me...) I still will be playing this game, I just get the trophies some other day...

Hello everyone! It's time again for another instalment of monthly blog! This month was very good for me. I got lots of games, managed to finish couple and I did watch lots of anime! But there is also downside. I was sick couple weeks so my gym training is again gone... I heard bad things about work, you know what if you did read my previous blog post. But now enjoy :)

I got Borderlands today and I have played it about... I don't know how much but I'm at lvl8. My first impression is that game is good, very good!:) Game is littlebit like Fallout 3 but at the moment Borderlands is much better! One thing I have to mention that there is lots of weapons! I'm only in the beginning and I have seen about 30 weapons :P I have used only 6 but it's good to have a choice ;) :D I like how the rpg elements are fused to the game. Graphics are also very good looking and I'm happy that they did change the graphics **** I want more but I'm just too tired! :(

There are some bad news on my work front... I was called to a meeting yesterday and I was told that because of the companys financial situation I will be moved to another place and demoted one notch down... BUT there are some positive things also on this. My salary goes down only 80e (which is nothing and yes this is a positive thing because I though my salary would be hundreds of euros smaller) and my work trip is going to be half what it is now. New place where I'm going to work is much challenging where I'm right now and it's good to see new places. and final thing is that my gym is now much closer! :) So after all I'm pretty happy :) All this is going to happen in 2.5 weeks... More about this when the time is right.

Soon it's time of this months monthly blog! I'm very excited to make it because I have bougth lots of games, watched ton of anime and couple other things :) I have noticed that my monthly blogs aren't getting as much attention what they did get some time ago. One reason is that I haven't had the energy to think anything new. My Monthly blog is pretty small and there is not anything special... I hope I have the energy to fix this problem. I would like to hear from you what should I change/fix/delete or what new I should put? I hope you all can say something :)

Hello everyone! :)

I'm still sick and I did have to visit doctor yesterday again. She did give me sick leave for this week. I'm better, but still sick :(

I have played uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend this week. Uncharted 2 I did finish Saturday and started to play it again pretty much right away :P I'm almost trough again, just trophy hunting and searching treasures. I did give Uncharted 2: Among Thieves 9.5/10. I have to say that I'm liking Uncharted 2 much more than first one, everything is just more polished.

But I did move on to playing Brutal Legend and I'm probably half-way on the game. First of all Brutal Legend is great! Soundtrack is awesome! Voice acting is good but there aren't much different kind of lines. You will notice this when playing side missions. There is lots of things to find and you will know much more about the world if finding these relics! So search the world little bit! But in the end I have to say that I'm littlebit disapointed about the game... At the moment game is 8-8.5 for me but well see if it changes when I'm trough with the game.

I'm waiting "Borderlands" hit the store! It seems to be great co-op game and if you get it, send me a message and let's play :) It's just that I'm getting the game next week because I'm resting this week and I'm not going out much. Just taking my dog for a walk.

I started playing my WII again! and at the moment it is updating... (*now playing super mario galaxy*) ...it's been about month when I last time played on my WII... oh, no it isn't! I played on my friend WII when I visited him couple weeks ago. We played trauma center and I tested paper mario :) I'm trying to finish super mario galaxy this week! That is my only goal! :) I also bought couple new games on to my Wii (1 on the PS3. All games did come on the mail so I didn't have to leave the house :P ) but I hope I can find the time to play those games :P Games I bought are:

Gaming isn't the main thing what I have been doing. I have watched ton of anime! I have finished many animes and started couple new and finished those too! :D Now you are wondering that have I rested at all! and YES I have rested :P I can watch anime on my sofa because I have my laptop hooked to my 42" HDTV :) and I have wireless mouse and keyboard :) One of the anime I have to mention to you all and that is "Hetalia: Axis Powers". Every episode is about 5min long and it has about 50 episodes total.

"Plot Summary: Italy, once home of the strongest empire in the world, has changed. This is the story of Italy, now a cowardly pasta-loving fool, and his friends (other personified countries of the world) as they live through strange moments in world history."
Original text is found here

This show is must watch if you are anime fan! and because episodes are only 5min long time isn't a problem! ;)

You have to listen this: First one is with english text (not very good translation but still) and other is with pics:

Jääkärinmarssi (with english txt)

Jääkärinmarssi (with pics)

Vöyryn marssi (with english txt)

But now I'm finished with this time and I'm going to back to playing super mario galaxy! :) I hope you are all healthy and doing fine! :) if you find the time tell me what you have been doing :)

You know what? This is the 3rd time that I have been writing a blog in a week! Always something comes up and it's back to the beginning. Now I will finish what I have started! So where to start... (I'm probably going to say couple words about one subject and then move to another so I hope you keep up :P ) ...at the moment I'm on sick leave... (I hope those are proper words...). It's flu again, feaver and all other things. Today I went to a doctor and she did give me 1week sick leave. I was prepared for this (work wise) and I called to work. I did give some orders, told where everything is and then I started my resting.

...That what I thought until I did check my mailbox...

My copy of Uncharted 2 was arrived! It was big suprise because I thought it would arrive tomorrow or monday! But yay! :) I started playing the game and after 4 hours I did have to stop, one reason was that I was having a BIG headache and other was that I did have to feed my dog. I played little bit more after this but I was feeling worse by the minute so I have been resting since then... mostly sleeping but I also watched some anime and now this.

Last Saturday I finally did watch "The Dark Knight" (Blu-ray) and yes I know I'm very late but still I have to say this! Movie is awesome! :D And this new joker is so !?#?#! scary and... real(!) that I couldn't move when watching this movie! I just stared the TV screen and thought... "wow!" It's sad that actor is dead :( I wonder which enemy is on the 3rd (new) batman movie... I want to see bane, penguin, ice man or poison ivy (legendary characters). Which would you want to see the most?

I have been very busy! work has been one thing and life has been... hard. Oh well I won't complain (much) because yesterday, very(!) good of friend of mine called. I was happy because I haven't heard him for a while and was wondering how he was doing. He said that his father died 2 weeks ago (cancer) and he has been busy assembling all the things... I'm sick but he wanted to meet and talk with me tomorrow so I said "sure I will meet you". He is coming tomorrow here...

I'm searching new job... I'm exhausted on my current job and I don't enjoy it as much before. Also there are some things I don't like... But times are what they are so there isn't much jobs open. I have sent resumes to about 10 places and 4 has turned me down and rest I haven't heard anything... But I'm keeping my hopes up and continuing my seach!

What have you been doing? What games have you been playing? What anime have you been watching? If you have the time answer those questions :)
