Exams are over

Had my last exam yesterday and it's officially summer vacation :D I really hope PSN is back up by next Wednesday. I feel like it's been ages since I played on my PS3 :cry: Wish I could take it with me to the US next Friday, but I don't know how I'm gonna carry it with me :( I refuse to put it in the suitcase that I'm gonna check in, so that just leaves my backpack with my laptop already in it... don't think that's gonna go too well either, so it'll be over 2 months before I can play it again :shock: Oh well, it is of course worth it, since I will finally see my fiance again :D Anyway, IT'S SUMMER VACATION and I'm sure as hell gonna enjoy spending it in the US with my love :D

PSN outage: My thoughts

I'm sure most of you know about PSN having been hacked by now. If not, here's a link. Anyway, I just have to say this somewhere; So yeah, everyone's scared that their credit card info might have been stolen and about identity theft etc, which I understand. I am one of them after all (as if I didn't get to worry enough when I was worrying about if I had important info stored on my laptop that was stolen a few weeks ago, which I still don't know). And some are saying they'll switch to 360, and that Sony should have better security and all that... but in my opinion, Sony might have had the exact same level of security as MS... but Sony pissed off hackers all over the world with this whole deal about that geohot dude, or whatever his "name" was. So what happens is, hackers all over the world starts trying to hack PSN to make things bad for Sony, and when an "army" of hackers all over the world starts hacking the same system, one of them is bound to eventually succeed. What I'm trying to say is, this intrusion happened too soon after the geohot thing to be a coincidence, and I'm sure this could have happened just as easily to MS if they had pissed off the right, or should I say wrong(?) people. Nothing is unhackable. I'm not saying people shouldn't be taking any necessary steps to prevent identity theft and changing credit card info etc, because I think that is exactly what you should be doing. I know I will be going to my bank tomorrow to ask them to give me a new card. But hopefully this was just hackers saying "this is what we can do when you piss us off! Don't **** with hackers". I really hope so at least. --- Just so you know, I'm not claiming to know that this is how it is or anything and I'm not interested in discussions about my thoughts on the matter, as I have much more important things than discussing this to worry about right now. Who knows, I may be wrong, I may have some facts wrong, you might not agree... but I just needed to get my thoughts out somewhere, and well, this is the only place I could think of :P

I miss my DS Lite *cries* :(

Hello, everyone. It's been a while. How's everyone doing? I just thought I'd drop by and tell everyone that I'm still here, just like I do every once in a while. Well, I've been busy with school as always. Just finished my last programming assignment, and exams start on May 2nd, so you won't be seeing me here again before after May 10th or so. Also going to visit my fiance in the end of May and will stay there until start of August :D Other than that, not much has happened over here... except for one thing... a very unfortunate event; Last Saturday while I was in Oslo visiting a few friends, my backpack with laptop, external hdd and DS (incl. all my DS games and some accessories) was stolen, when me and a friend had sat down to eat :( I got a new laptop on Monday, but I seriously miss my old laptop because I had so much stuff on it. Luckily I didn't really have a lot on my 1TB HDD, except for pictures from when I was in the US, but my fiance has those, so it's no problem. I just hate remembering important stuff I had on my laptop -.-'' And I also had my Red vs Blue: Revelation DVD in it :cry: Another thing I really miss, is of course my DS :cry: Gonna have to buy a new one when I go to the US this summer or something :( But I don't have any of my games for it anymore :cry: People tell me that this is a good excuse for buying a 3DS, but I think I just want a simple DS Lite again. Anyway, I don't really have much else to say. Hope everyone's doing well, and I'll be back in May/June sometime I would imagine :) See ya ^^ EDIT: Will be getting a 3DS next month after all :D

A very VERY late Happy New Years to you all

I just stopped by to wish you all a late Happy 2011 :) I had a wonderful time in the US! Went to New York and spent New Years with my love and it was the best New Years evar! :D Didn't get to go to Times Square like planned, but it was still awesome!! After I got back from the US, I've been very busy with school, which is why I haven't been here. Been here incognito a few times though, just to check my messages :P Other than that I don't really have much to say as always. Just wanted to let you all know that I'm still around :)

In the US, and loving it =]

So, school is finally over for the year and I took the opportunity to get to Oklahoma as fast as humanly possible, to visit my love, Chandu =] (Well, I bought the tickets in July or so, but yeah xD). Been here since Thursday night and I'm staying here until Jan. 14. It's my first time spending Christmas and New Years in another country :P It's gonna be super awesome. Oh wait, it already is ;D That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll be on later too, so see you around :)

Level 42: Karnov / Exams

Seems like I've leveled today :P I'm now Level 42: Karnov. Also recently got Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, which is the sequel to Hotel Dusk: Room 215. I loved Hotel Dusk, and I've been waiting for the sequel for ages, and I finally got to play it :D Just finished it, and I loved it! :D Anyway, in other news, my exams are starting in two weeks now, so I won't be spending much time on GS. I'm sure you all understand :P And once the exams are over, I will be a little bit busy, but will try to be around a little bit :) Well, that's all for now. See you around.

22 years old =o

It was my birthday yesterday, Nov. 4th, and I turned 22 years old =] Got Medal of Honor Tier 1 Edition from my parents :D It's awesome. Love the multiplayer. Don't really have time to play much nowadays though, since it's exam-time soon. Ugh... Can't wait to finish them. Anyway, other than that, I've been updating this every now and then: List of upcoming PS3 exclusives. Check it out if it's of any interest to you, and you're also welcome to join the union if you want to. It's not very active now though, since I have to concentrate on my exams. Also got a couple of new emblems since last time:  100% Club Member The best of the best of the best, sir! Unlocking every achievement available for a game is a task that only the most dedicated of players complete, and for that we salute you.  Crypt Crawler I went game hunting in GameSpot's spooky crypt! In celebration of Halloween we remembered numerous spooky games in a monthly Box Art guessing activity held in the General Games Discussion forum. And that's all for now. Don't really have much to say as always :P But at least it's something ;P See you around!

Return of old glitches? | I'm a Game Expert?..*cough* I mean, I'm a Game Expert!

Ok, so apparently I'm Level 0 with 0% and no rank :P Reminds me an awful lot of an old glitch back in the day when GS had the old design. *sigh* I still miss the old design :P They never finished the redesign job though. I mean, the Unions still have the old design. Oh well, who cares.  (hehe, had to include the emblems as well xD) And apparently I... wait, that started out all wrong... I mean I am a Game Expert! :] Don't believe me? Ask GS then:  Here to save the day! Game Experts are knowledgeable and skilled masters in at least one game and have proven this by unlocking at least 75% of the achievements available for it. If you've ever got a question, a Game Expert's usually a good person to ask. Anyway, in other news... there are no other news... What? There seriously aren't any new news. Still just busy with school and all that stuff :P So yeah, I'm not on here much. Just wanted to drop by and say "hi" and "how are you all?" =] Well, I'm off again. See you around ^_^

Programming is fun! :P

I have gotten my first hand-in assignment in my Programming class, and last night I did the first part of it, which was: Make a program that writes out all verses of the song "99 bottles of beer". Lol, it was fun :P Took me a while to figure it out, but I'm learning :D The language we have this first semester is Java and next semester we'll learn C++. That's gonna be interesting =o I wish I had only programming in school :P Physics is hard and Math is.. well, it's ok, I guess, but I'd rather not have it xD Well, anyway, now it's back to the last part of the assignment, which is write all the verses to a Norwegian song which is kind of the same as "99 bottles of beer" except it goes from 1 to 100 instead of 99 to 0 :P Just realized that this last part of the assignment is optional, but I'm gonna have a go at it anyway, and see if I can do it :D Hope everyone's having a nice day :) See you around.

New profile look

Changed banner and profile header. Been playing around with animations as you might have noticed :P Also had to change the avatar now... something is wrong with my Snake avy :| It looks like this now:  I'm trying to fix it by uploading it on Photobucket, but I need to make it all over again, because I don't have the gif file anymore... and ImageReady is being stupid and won't let me -.-'' But yeah, I like this avatar with Sam a lot too. It's just awesome :D Also, this ATGGV competition... well, it's kinda annoying how some people take it waaay too seriously. They apparently don't get that it's all for fun and get all mad at people for voting for their favorite... I just don't get it -.- Oh well, anyway, I hope you'll all have a fantastic weekend :) See you around.
