I went down a level, from 20 to 19!

That's really unfortunate since 20 takes really long!

Does someone know if this is possible? otherwise I'll have to contact the higher-ups..

Could be just another error since I'm not online a lot.

Later!

Hello fellow gamers,

Just tought I'd give an update since I haven't signed on for ages! And wow, the site looks really different (for the better IMO). I haven't even changed my avatar to a wider pixel ratio!

The reason I haven't been on is because I don't have the luxury of internet anymore, I want to, but I can't register my name on the place I live at the moment, because I live squatted and don't pay for electricity!

I'll be on more regularly from now on tough, since I have a girlfriend with an internet connection :p

Hope all my GS friends are still alive & well, because I might be spamming your blogs in the near future!

Oh yeah, there is Xbox Live at my GF's house, so feel free to add me to your contact list. I won't be on much but hey, maybe one day we can play a game together!

Who are your heroes?

Who "Set your soul on fire"?

I can't stand people saying: "Lance Armstrong" or "Oprah Winfrey"! What the hell....

SO NOW, here are mine.

PEHLIVAN:

A reference to my older blogs is needed to understand why pehlivan (Turkisch Oil-Wrestling Heroes or MEN) are so great.

Admiral de Ruyter (Oh tender sailorman):

He was the most greatest Sea-Hero in Dutch history, He played a large role in the first three English-Dutch wars back when Holland and England were both powerful countries. He Single-handedly catched a whale, fought a huge load of pirate battles and he always kicked the sh*t out of everyone. Woo!

ANDRÉ HAZES:

Again, reference to older blogs is needed: but now he even has his own statue! I want that!!!

A new union has been born!

I really have sought for a good union where you can talk about anything, with anyone, and at the same time where no weird people hide to sprout retarded comments and topics.

So I decided to make one myself. I'm still thinking about the overall concept, It's all kind of vague. That's ok I guess, since vagueness can work too.

Don't be a stranger and check it out, I'll be working on making it look better this week, and when everything is complete, I think you're going to have to apply to join. But you're all on my friends list so you must be cool people!

Life has been a little crazy the last couple of months.
I'll spare you the details, but I'm sure it was all awesome when I think back about it!

These are the things I enjoyed the last few months:

Games:

While sitting, waiting, doing nothing I have a lot of days of,
this game really helped to pass the time.
It's so great: You are a tough biker and with your bare hands your goal is to win a race while 16 other bikers try to do the same. To get to win you'll have to break some bones first tough, because the other racers aren't very friendly : (
So you're fighting, while your on a bike, steal awesome weapons from other bikers, like crowbars, iron chains and wooden planks. And when you knock someone off of his bike, he'll fall the hard way, unrealistically brutal!
Plus, the other bikers have names like Cpt. Drako, Zed, Brick and Lt. Bull. Awesome.
I feel like a Road Rash MMORPG should be made!




This PS2 game is seriously brilliant.
If you have guessed it's name already, you are a winner.
You are a wireframe that can shoot some sort bullets on other wireframes, who then fall apart in a beautiful way, into the scenery, and they make a sound when they break, thus you can compose your own soundtrack, and the enviroment will react to it. Gameplay, sound and graphics have never been closer together.And it's addicting.
The name, is Rez.

Music:

Monster Magnet

Always have been a favourite of mine, but my appreciaton grows even bigger every day. Especially since I purchased the above album, Powertrip.
I'll quote some lines now:
Got a nail in my head and I know that I'm gone
When I'm driving the tractor on the drug farm
Got a knife in my back got a hole in my arm
I'm driving the tractor on the drug farm....
Combine this text with outer space tripping stoner rock and you'll love it instantly.

Turbonegro

I've finally got it! My Turbojugend-kutte (denim jacket) Nijmegen finally got in! I'm feeling very very very very very sexy in it! If you don't know Turbonegro it's a Norwegian Deathpunk band (and the only deathpunk band) who sing about sailormen, heavy metal p u s s i e s, and erections.
You have to check it out, they will spread darkness over your country one day.

^ Another jugendmember in proud denim^

Whoaw, my fingers are numb so...

Lastly,

I finally have my own house again!
It's a huge building with private park in Nijmegen:

All of this for four people!
The party season is an early one, I'm still moving all my stuff.

Oh by the way, for all you Dutch people.
We'll be hosting a Tekken tournament in December.
If you want to have a good time drop by!
There will be prizes, alcohol and other necessities.
Got to register tough, 32 spots available and 23 taken. Sleeping over is of course not a problem!

If I get any new union invites I swear to god you'll be taken off of my friends list in less than a second.

I'm getting sick and tired of receiving at least three every day.

(I won't be able to post in your union anyway, I'm way too busy, so don't bother.)

The truth is...

I STILL LOVE YOU!

I hope to be more active soon, but my life's still fxxed!

Just a little update to confirm I'm alive.

The last few weeks have been crazy! Work sure takes up a lot of time. It's great to finally see some of the things I worked on, on television. craaaazy.

I'm looking for a new place to squat, me & my group got evacuated from our house... well it was to be expected since we've been living there for over a year. I'm staying at my girlfriend's parents house now, hopefully I'll have my own place again within a month.

I've also began re-playing Grim Fandango this week... It's still a great game. I forgot a lot of it, I noticed. But that's good... Now I actually have to think about stuff. awesome.

As you may have noticed I haven't been active on Gamespot this last week. I'll try to answer my PM's and post in my unions in these few hours, maybe I'll even comment some blogs if I'm fast.
Work has been taking up a lot of time. I have to get up at 4:30 in the morning, and I'm usually back home around 9:00 in the evening. It's still awesome, tough. After work I usually go see my girlfriend (She still lives at home ...:() and/or go to the Coffeeshop because I can internet for free there (home is too far away, lol, guess where I am now) or I'm at my favourite bar.

This weekend I went to Appelpop, a free festival in Tiel, Holland with some friends. My girlfriend was sick so she couldn't come. It was fun, altough there were a lot of sixteen-and-younger emosk8gothkids. Bleh so annoying.
I saw gothic bands Within Temptation and After Forever (both sucked) Sarah Bettens (K's Choice, awesome) De Dijk, Pete Philly & Perquisite, Krezip... all were mediocre.

Anyway, that's why I wasn't able to comment your blogs or post in unions. When I have the time I'll try to keep up with it. Later!
