  1. Dreams!

    Somehow I had ended up at some local government gathering, in what very much looked like some kind of mix between a small theater and a high school/university lecture hall. I was being guided around by one of the politicians who showed me a wall on which there were head shots of all the politicians mounted. The pictures looked very much like head shots for actors/models. He told me how one of the Pirate party politicians (pointing to an image I know belongs to a Swedish opera singer rather than a politician) had successfully blocked one of the Swedish Democrats (Anti-immigrant party) from achieving something before he led me into the hall. The hall seemed to have just been home to some other function than the one I was attending for, so people were filing out of their seats as we were looking for ours. All of a sudden i glimpsed the faces of one of my best friends and his girlfriend in the row above the one I was standing in. I audibly gasped and rushed over to greet and hug them. I was so happy. I haven't met them for a long time in real life, but their representations in my dream were so accurate and lifelike that I could barely contain my excitement over seeing them again. Woke up shortly after that, while my friend was telling me that he had won a TV in some kind of draw with his seat number. Fuck. I miss these guys.

    It was 1984 all along!

    Could work for some kind of sports game where you draft in players as well

    We clap a whole bunch on our podcast because we keep screwing up the intros and get sidetracked

  10. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    So good! Haven't been able to watch it for quite a few years though due to the decline of VHS.

    The Small Businessman has returned. There was much rejoicing!

    Yeah, have been playing it on and off for quite some time too but generally I would just go find tabs at ultimateguitar.com and keep trying to play them at full speed Having the riff repeater is fantastic. My hands hurt now.

    Oh, dear. This was very good. Already bought a bunch of extra songs and spent far too long practicing a small 10 second chunk of a song

    Haha! Nice catch there! I could not see the object in the background as anything else than some kind of speed lines.

    Reading my comment back I sound like a real asshole. I am very sorry about that! Ill-advised attempt at tounge-in-cheek.
  17. Elite: Dangerous (Kickstarter)

    Really quite interested in this game. How important is it to have a joystick to enjoy it?
  18. Saturday Morning Streams

    Yeah, putting the Twitch.tv section in that size would definitely help!

    I am so glad we're getting streams again! Had completely missed that Danielle had been streaming though, and I can imagine I'm not the only one. Would be cool if it was highlighted a bit more prominently on the website perhaps?

    Same thing in Swedish. Miljon = 10^6 Miljard = 10^9 Biljon = 10^12 Biljard = 10^15 Triljon = 10^18

    wow. Took me too long to understand that pun
  23. Recently completed video games

    I managed to complete my journey around the globe on my third attempt today in the magnificent 80 days. In my first attempt I tried to skirt around the southern edge of Eurasian landmass, heading through the Suez canal before embarking on one disastrous venture after another along the south-east Asian coastline, up toward Yokohama which was the last outpost before the long trek across the Pacific. At this point we were still making fairly good time and I was cautiously optimistic that we'd actually complete the journey on the first attempt. However, arriving in Yokohama it was revealed that Mr. Fogg had picked up a bug somewhere along the way that incapacitated him to the degree that we were unable to leave for the better part of two weeks. Short on funds and time we finally ended in Dakar where, frustrated by both having failed to return to London on time and having to request yet another bank transfer to progress to the next town, I finally abandoned the journey. The second attempt fared much better, seeing us return to London after 84 days. Once again, a few missteps, being detained by Russian military police, staging a failed mutiny aboard a submersible, repeatedly missing my fare by spending too long rearranging my bags, had slowed us down too much. But at least we made it back, and close enough that victory seemed attainable. Third time was the charm, sailing into the skies above London on the afternoon of the 80th day on an Icelandic airship. I felt genuine accomplishment, excitedly showing my sister the phone where "Day 80 - London" could be read with a silhouette of Big Ben stretching upward. This trip had also had its troubles, with murders, sentient automatons, cults and train robbers causing us much headache on the way but apparently I had made enough good decisions that these obstacles were overcome. Despite it all, we'd made it. As you might be able to tell, I quite like this game. I especially like the way the game tells its stories, the unexpected turns and twists, the images it paints of the life of the people you encounter. I do feel that there might be a problem with how common "catastrophes" seem to become in certain parts of the world, but I realize that it also serves a purpose for ramping up the stakes.
