Ratchet & Clank QFB finished!

And so I’ve already completed a new game. As the title says its,
Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty. I’m a bit dissapointed in that game. I was expecting a bit more from it. I know it was made to be a short, PSN game but still. I would give it a 6/10. Its good, but there was nothing new in the game. Its just a “break game”, before the real adventure is on.

Well now I’m going to try my luck with Prince of Persia. The great game gift I got from my friend nordiclania , for christmas. (Thank you, thank you!) So I’m of to a fairytale world. And tomorrow I might take a dive into the world of Valkyria Chronicles.

WOHO! *Zelda item found sound*

So here we are. Our internet is fucked up. Don’t know what the problem is, but we can’t go online. Well… Not completely true. But we are using a mobile internet dongle, its slow as hell. Still better than nothing. So I’m hoping the internet issue will be solved soon. But right now I couldn’t care less about internet.

FINALLY!!!!!! Thank you everyone of you who have given me your support under my very long and harsh times. I really appreciate it folks.

Lady luck? Did you just smile at me?

Yeah, as people might know. I’m not the luckiest guy on earth. Far from it. More like the unluckiest. Well a few bits have changed and finally I feel a bit better.

The meeting with “arbetsförmedligen” went really well yesterday.
The person I met was really good and friendly. So we had a good chat.
And I’m pretty satisfied with what we talked about. No talks about school at least.
But perhaps I will go to a six weeks class later. They will help me with job applications and other stuff. That’s pretty good. So it feels good. I’m going to continue to search for jobs at the moment. A bit sad perhaps, but I’ve got more time for that now when I don’t have to sit in a school.

And for the biggest news. Which I’m actually not going to talk about. =)
Mainly for the reason, each time I have it has always gone to hell. So I’m keeping shut about it. But its 99.9% confirmed! Sometime next week, monday or tuesday (perhaps later). Well either way look forward to a very happy update from me. ^^

A meeting

In a few hours I’m going to have a meeting with “Arbetsförmedligen”.
So I’ll see what they have in store for me… I’m fearing the worst. And the worst being, that they’ll put me in a school like shit, like last time.
I’m really hoping that is not the case. I’m not sure I would survive that. Since the last place didn’t do shit for me. And I don’t feel like sitting by a computer 8h a day, in school like enviorment.
If it had been like a real school, where you actually could have learned something, then that would have been good.

So I’ll get back to this in a few hours when my fate is sealed… And on another note, I’m pretty proud of myself. I haven’t had any Coca Cola or other sodas for over a week now. And its going to stay that way.

So what’s going on?

Well some days ago I started to play Odin Sphere since I got it and Valkyrie Profile 2 in the mail. Ordered those games together with
Final Fantasy XII (should be arriving soon) from Play.com, and they costed 70SEK each. That’s about 9USD. Well I started on Odin Sphere but in the end Valkyrie Profile 2 won my attention. Right now this is the kind of RPG I had been wanting to play. So I’m probably going to play Odin Sphere after FFXII. If nothing else comes along that I like more. Either way, its just nice to be able to play something again.

As usual there is not much that has happened. Christmas was about as boring as always.
Sorry for being the Grinch! New Year’s Eve, eh, like any other day. =P
I spent most of the news years fixing up some bugs I’ve noticed in my CSS design for this page. I also changed the design as some of you might see. The design is not so dark anymore and I like it. I think it looks simple and good.
No need to make it super advanced. Well other than that I’ve beendoing some more stuff in photoshop, that will probably end up on DeviantART sooner or later.

And I’ve been listening to a song Stratovarius – Eagle Heart. I’ve become in love with that song. Good to listen to when you do other stuff, like photoshop or cleaning. It makes me feel good. I also opened my big KOS-MOS figurine. Just to take a couple of picture of it. I put it back in the box later again. So if someone want to see the quality of it go ahead, there are pictures on my DeviantART site. Use the “My DeviantART” link in the sidebar to get there. Ah, this was a pretty long post. That probably no one will read. Oh, well….
