I will try to post my this months monthly blog. I just have been busy with GT5 and... GT5 :D:P I have all the licenses (gold or silver), I have finished beginner, amateur and pro races at gold and almost finished extreme races (was this after pro races...?). I have played littlebit online races with my friend and everything feels good. Game isn't perfect but best racing game I have played in a long time!

Today I got my copy of Gran Turismo 5 (no installing game data...) and I already have Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood AND Vanquish! Three Big ones and so little time! I hope weekend comes fast so I can get to my gaming spree!!! :P :D now I have to eat and set up my G25 :)

- MorkkiTH -

I got my PSP Go BUT Sony is doing some PSN maintenance so I can't register my PSP and that means I can't download any games. :( I have to wait tomorrow morning but I don't have much time in the morning so it means that my testing will go after work :(

I just wanted to mention that tomorrow I will go and check my town's Judo dojo. I have been thinking that I want to get back to martial arts and now is good time. I just have to check when I can start but it's going to happen! :) (still waiting my PSP GO...)

- MorkkiTH -

I just ordered PSP GO. price tag: 179e but it comes with 10 games. Games are:

LittleBigPlanet
MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
Fifa 2010 World Cup
Need for Speed Shift
Gran Turismo
Avatar: The Game
Gran Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
Wipeout Pure
Assassin's Creed: Bloodlines
Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice

Question here is: Why I bought this PSP GO? (why a handheld?) answer: My work travel is about 45min long (train) if there isn't any delays. My fridays trip was 1h 30min! It's a long time. Yes I did listen music and watched some videos on my Ipod but I was thinking again "I could be playing games at this moment" So again I started to think should I buy handheld gaming device? I searched littlebit and I checked Ipod, psp and Nintendo DS gaming offers. price was of course big thing and quality of the games. It was also important that device could with easily to my pocket. DS is pretty expensive (about 170-200e) without games. good games even if I would buy them somewhere else than Finland would cost me about 30-60e. Then I found about this great offer about PSP GO. 179e and 10 games (free). With PSP GO I don't have to worry about UMD Discs or anything else. Everything would be on the flash memory. so.... I'm getting PSP GO upcoming week :) I will tell you my thoughts when I receive it

...FATHER! My wife told me that she is pregnant! This is great news because we have tried to have a child over a year now! Baby should born in the beginning of summer. I really can't say with words how happy I am!! :)

I finally did beat Valkyria Chronicles! (PS3) Score: 9.0/10. It took me about a year to finish the game but finally it's over. I have played this game about 2 weeks and finally it's over :D

Remember to check my coming blog: monthly blog part 10 (2010)

If you are interested on anime then I highly recommend "Origin: Spirits Of The Past" movie, and of course watch this with original language (japan). This movie/anime has very touching and powerfull storie, great voice work and drawing style is also great. This movie brings to mind some of the Studioi Ghibli movies. So go and watch this movie! :)
