BOOM!

Now I know what I'll be doing this weekend :P

A nerd fest

Last Saturday I hosted an annual video game tournament. What I do is that I gather all my nerdiest friends and make them compete against each other in games from 5 different categories. This year we played Tetris (puzzle), Street Fighter II (fighting), Pac-man (arcade), Mariokart Wii (racing) and Super Bomberman II (surprise). Since I love to do the little extra to these events, I made these snacks ;)

Wore, obviously, earrings to match the evening. Also, my Tetris lamp came in handy :P

 

It was epic! 

Streaming with viewers!

It was a lot of fun last night when I was going for the CQC achievement on Gow UE, and Jackal hosted my stream and promoted it on Twitter. Out of nowhere, my viewers went from 1 to 18! First time I've streamed with an audience, thankfully I didn't make a complete arse of myself ;) I even got a viewer to help me with the achievement, had 6 matches to go.

Got a lot of support and followers, the Gears community is so great! It was a lot of fun, will definitely do it again (I'm just eagerly awaiting Gow 3 to be backward compatible on the Xbox One so I can stream that game ;P)

Halo 4!

Got another thing of beauty from the mailman today

Oh, you're wondering how the saving-for-the-new-flat is going? Very well, why do you ask? :D

The first week with Gears of War: Ultimate Edition

Yes, I know that the game was actually released on Friday last week, but since I got it on the Saturday (and it took like a day to install) I'm gonna say that it's been a week from today!

How are my thoughts on the game? Well, it's Gears of War, I automatically love it. Even though I must have played the campaign in the very first game about 10 times, it was a while ago now and I just looved to play it remastered, it's so beautiful! :') Me and my friend in armour Hallinskioi played through the entire campaign in a day, on insane, and it was a lot of fun. The added chapters were great, very hard (oh, what a suiting title on act IV: "Comedy of Errors"), but sweet with new missions on an already beloved game!

People have raged much more than me (I am very forgiving when it comes to the Gears-series), but here are the things that have bugged me:
¤ The unregularity when it comes to the gnasher. Sometimes you get a headshot from 6 feet, and other times you put three shots into the players chest with no effect what so ever (as can be demonstrated in the clip below at 1:44 and 2:12). Which brings me to my next point:
¤ It's impossible to kill a downed enemy with one shot, at least close range! It shouldn't be that hard, really. But yes, it takes (at least) two. (see 00:59, 2:58)
¤ The weapons respawning so fast. How come you have a boomshot when I still have a shot left? I liked the idea that you could "hog" a weapon from the other team in Gears of War 3, or at least that it takes a while before it comes back. Now it's just snipers everywhere.
¤ The melee is far to OP, come one people, if I had to stop using the chainsaw and start with the gnasher, then you have to as well!
¤ I miss ghost cam (yes, I spend a lot of time watching others when I'm dead..) :'(
¤ Whyy does the Hammer of Dawn have unlimited ammo, who thought of that??

Anyway, here's a few clips from the first week, overall I love the game (even though my K/D score must be just awful ^^), but I miss Gears of War 3, might go back to that after this weekend of double XP ;)

Yeah babeh!!

This arrived in the mail today!

My nerdy flat

I am about to move to a smaller place this Autumn, but feel like I should brag about my slightly nerdy decorated flat in Stockholm first. Here are some pics:
