Can’t sleep, but need to!

Urgh, I just hate it when you have to go to bed early. I’m supposed to go to a meeting with “Arbetsförmedlingen” today. So I would really like to feel rested when I have to get up around 07,00. Well, what happens? I’m more awake than I’ve been in a long time. Figures. The one time I really need my sleep, is of course the time I can’t sleep!
I was thinking of starting FFXIII but I’m sure I would be stuck with that all night, without any sleep at all. And I’d rather take a little sleep than no sleep at all.
So that kind of sucks, hope I’ll get some sleep and the meeting goes well later today. If it does I guess I’ll start my trainee post at ***** later this week.

I’ll be leaving with some RPG related news. Trinity Universe will get a release outside of Japan, the publisher has not been announced but it would surprise me if its NIS America. It seems like it will be ported to the Xbox 360 too, it was a PS3 game in Japan. Pretty nice, get it out to more people. I will check it out as soon as I can. – Siliconera.

Internet! But no FFXIII…

We finally got a real internet connection! No more crappy mobile internet connections here! I’m so glad for that. Was everything this fast in the past? I can’t remember…
And no Final Fantasy XIII today either. FUCK! I was hoping to start playing it today! But no! I’m a bit pissed at that, hopefully it will come tomorrow…

I’m just hoping I’ll be able to play some of the game, before I begin “working” on the 16th-18th. After that I don’t know how much time I’ll be able to spend with the stuff I love. Hopefully I’ll still be able to play a bit. And hopefully this can lead to a real job, that’s what I’m hoping. But I don’t think it will, I would be overjoyed if I was wrong.
But right now I’m not in the mood for a “what if” or “fantasy” future.
At the moment I’m not feeling to well, started yesterday… Hope it turns around soon.

And to make matters worse… My mobile died on me today! Fucking fantastic!
I just feel like going back to bed today. Nothing (besides the internet) has gone right today. More expenses, I’m growing tired of this shit. Real tired…

The weekend before Final Fantasy XIII

And so another week is almost over. And next week its time for the long awaited
Final Fantasy XIII to arrive in both America & Europe. Its been out in Japan since December 2009, so we haven’t had to wait that long this time. A lot of people have been turned of by the game and it seems like reviewers are very split in their opinions.
But what do you think? I still hope and think it will be  a very enjoyable game, but we’ll see what I think after I’ve played it a bit.

I’m thinking of taking a break from gaming until I have a chance to play FFXIII and do some more movies, like in the good old days. I actually have some sort of inspiration going for me now. Would be a shame to waste it. I’m not sure what to do, but something with sprites would be nice, but I’m also thinking of doing a new version of my Xenosaga Rangers videos. Since I’m a bit better with photoshop now and with my video making program, why not give it a try?
I’m also thinking of a making a new video with pixels or something simpler. Not really sure yet, I want to do something.

So if I do a sprite movie or whatever I hope I can start writing a bit of the script for it. Wish I was a bit more talented so I could my own pixel figures, so what I did would be truly original. I have lots of ideas but I need to settle on one thing to do and not try to do everything at once. Well hope everything goes well, I’ll keep you updated on the site! I’ll gladly takes tips and other advise from people.

ApocalyPS3, are you screwed?

If you have an older phat/big Playstation 3, you might have gotten the time-leap bug. This bug/problem has been named, ApocalyPS3. Not by me sadly, but by the people of the internet. I’m not going to much into what the bug does, you’ll have to Google that for yourselves. You’ll get better and more accurate info that way also.
Me and my friend Elden our PS3’s where not affected by the time-leap bug at least. Sadly my friends Kntheking & Ezakiel where not as lucky… Hope their machines will start working properly again soon.
How are your PS3 doing? Is it safe or have you fallen prey to ApocalyPS3? If you have a new Ps3 slim model you are safe from this.

I’ve done some minor changes to the site and I continue to work on it slowly. Trying new stuff and new colors. All to be as pleased as I can be with the site and by doing stuff myself. Hopefully It will get even better with time.
And this is the month Final Fantasy XIII will be released, really looking forward to playing that game myself. Just a few more days until its released.

How my love for JRPGs started

I like a verity of different genres. Actions, stealth, & platform genres was always a big interest for me. But there was always something genres that I hated. I’ve never liked FPS, sport or driving games and one of the genres I hated the most where RPGs.I tried a bunch of different sorts of RPG’s but none of them where good. Then some friends and just about everyone else started going nuts over the newly released
Final Fantasy VII
. So I tried it and of course… I did not enjoy it one bit and with that I decided to give the genre a rest, I was done! I just hated it.Now we are in the middle of 1999 and I hadn’t touched an RPG, but I had grown a bigger interest in anime. And had gotten the chance to see the anime series

Magic Knights Rayearth. It was a show that was very influenced by RPG and fantasy. So I started to watch it and grew to like the series more and more. I also felt a stronger urge to try some RPGs again and I got the chance later when I got a friend to lend me Lunar Silver Star Story Complete for the Playstation 1.

4 games I’m looking forward to in 2010

So since I’m working on my list of best and worst things of 2009, I thought I could make a post about what I’m looking forward to in the upcoming year. So here is my game list, I decided to just stick with four games that I’m most interested in now. Since they are game I’m 100% I’m getting. I will probably do a list like this with movies also, not to sure yet. What games are you looking forward to in 2010?

3D Dot Game Heroes (PS3)
its a Zelda type of game or ripoff like some would say. I can understand that, since its heavily inspired by the old Zelda games. It’s because of that and the great music from the game that has made me so interested. I’m hoping this will be a better Zelda experience for me than the newest Zelda games. I’m in love with the retro feeling and charm or this game.

Darksiders (PS3 & 360)
You play as one of the four horsemen of Apocalypse and is trying to restore balance to the destroyed world. Its said to be a Dark-Zeldaish game. The art is nice and from trailers it looks pretty awesome. Already preordered from Gamestop thanks to game trade-ins.

Final Fantasy XIII (PS3 & 360)
Well for most people when you say RPG they say or think Final Fantasy, its not my favorite RPG-series but I’ve enjoyed the games I’ve played so far. And now its time for part 13 to be released. After playing the demo earlier this year, I’ve been really hyped about this game and I hope it turns out really well.

White Knight Chronicles (PS3)
Long awaited RPG that was released about a year ago in Japan, the sequel was announced before this was confirmed to come outside of Japan. But it is and I can’t wait to take the role of Leonard and transform into a giant knight.
The game will have an online part where you can play as the character you have to create in-game, here you will be able to gather items to use in the games main story. I think I’ll be spending some time with the online mode.

December and the end of 2009

So yet another month has passed by with almost lightning speed  and now we are entering the final month of the year. soon it will be Christmas and then we are off into 2010. I will begin writing my list of good and crappy games/movies and stuff of 2009, it will be posted on the 31th December for those who are intrested.

Since its December now and Final Fantasy XIII will be released in Japan this month, I thought I would use a picture of Lightning this month. We will have to wait until March to get the game. Hopefully it will be worth all the wait and I hope it will give me what I never found in Final Fantasy XII. Its a good game, but it didn’t click for me like it did with the other games. As I said I’m really hoping it will be worth all the wait. Hope Gamestop Sweden will have a trade in for it.

Are you going to wish for something this Christmas? I would really like a new TV, but that’s not happening. So perhaps I can get some money at least. I sure hope 2010 will be a better year economically for me, since 2009 has sucked hard at that department. Now I’m of to try Dead Space for the PS3, I borrowed it from my pal Elden. He wanted me to really play it. So I’m hoping its good, I bet he is hoping I’ll like it too. Only time will tell.
