Hey look! I’m a pro-photographer!

For the last few days, it has finally been freezing. Last night, the first snow of the year fell from the sky. I had to take a haircut, so I walked through the city to take some pictures. Using this simple android app called picplz (which you can download here) I made them look professional, even though they were cheaply shot with my old HTC, which has a crappy (colorwise) 5.0MP camera. Here are the results: The temperature will stay below 0 degrees celsius, but it’ll stay mostly dry. This...

‘A Dangerous Method’, reviewed. 3

‘A Dangerous Method’, reviewed.

I stumbled upon this movie by accident. It has a 7.0 rating on IMDb and features Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Aragorn. Because it’s a costume drama, I didn’t really feel the urge to watch it. I decided to watch it with the gf, girls generally like that sort of stuff. The story itself is about Carl Jung (Fassbender), a student of Freud’s then-new psycho-analytic-theory, not about Freud as the synopsis on IMDb suggested. Ah well, Fassbender get´s a new patient, Keira Knightley. Keira is, in this movie, sometimes brilliant,...

Today, I felt like I had succeeded as a big brother

I was sitting behind my PC, as always. I was bored. Instead of shutting down my PC and do something productive, I decided to check Steam if any of my ‘gaming’-friends was online, hoping they would play a game online. None of my (former) housemates was online, so I decided to scroll down and look for other people that might be online. One person in particular surprised me… … it was my little, 16-year old sister. I grew up playing Mario games on my Nintendo 64 with my little sister....

So I heard the internet likes Cats

Cats, cats, cats. The internet is full of cats. So, I’ll introduce you to mine. Well, he’s not actually my cat, he’s my studenthouse’s cat. He was adopted from the animal shelter about three years ago. He had been a stray cat for the first 2-3 years of his life, after which he was submitted to the shelter. When we got him, he had to go on a special diet because of the plastic still resting in his stomach. I think he still equates plastic with food. Whenever there’s something...

Finally, some Battlefield 3 4

Finally, some Battlefield 3

January 15th, my birthday, I got Battlefield 3. It’s a great game, though I generally suck at first person shooters. It might’ve had something to do with the games I played while being a kid. While everybody was playing Counterstrike or Operation Delta Force, I was stuck playing innocent racing games like Infogrames’ GP2, due to parental control. It wasn’t that bad, I’m now able to kick almost anyones ass no matter which racing game. But, I didn’t develop the skill needed to play first person shooters on a higher...

The Rum Diary, and why today might not have been the best day to watch it

Before there was the Pirates trilogy, there was this film called “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. It didn’t do exceptionally well in the box office, but it did acquire a certain cult status. It was the first book by writer Hunter S. Thompson which was turned into a movie, featuring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro on a mad drunk/high rollercoaster-ride centered around Las Vegas. Now, Johnny Depp is back; not as Raoul Duke, the protagonist from “Fear and Loathing” and a pseudonym of Thompson, but as the 100%...

My love/hate for twitter.

  Twitter, Twitter, Twitter. Nowadays, everybody has twitter. I can pride myself in being on of the early adopters, tweeting since march ’09, just a few months before twitter became booming. I never really understood the importance of Twitter. Most people use it to describe their lives, instead of just posting it on their facebook-profile. Other people use it to advertise their own webpage (guilty!). Nowadays, I sometimes browse twitter out of curiosity to see why there are sirenes racing across my street. That’s, in my opinion, the only real...

Lets talk about Music

Seeing as this is a new blog, I shall grab this opportunity to introduce my favourite band – Faunts. Faunts is a Canadian post-rock indie band. That’s music-language for relaxing, almost atmospheric music. I’ll give you an example: This band has made two full albums, an EP and an album full of remixes. They are sadly on hiatus, and little is known if they will ever produce a new album. I stumbled upon this band as one of their songs (the one above) featured in the credits of a videogame...

‘Orcs Must Die!’ review

Not every game needs a big budget behind it, like Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. Lately, a lot of games achieve succes without the backing of a big company. Games like Minecraft, which has sold over 20 million downloads, are the beginning of a new age for indie developers. A lot of these games are being offered a platform on Steam, a downloadable platform for games which resembles the likes of Apple’s iTunes. One of these games is Orcs Must Die!, a tower defense-like game which features high-paced, third...
