Yay LAN is fun! We’re gathered once more (my BF42 community), a little less ppl around this time tho. Gibb-gryte was AWESOME! I ate my self to the verge of explosion, and i can hardly wait for the MayhemBurger tomorrow! Seems like these LANs are all about the food? Well, it sure is tasty and eum.. did i mention AWESOME!?!?!? We got here a bit late today, think we got all settled around 10PMish or so, played som Unreal Tournament, FlatOut2, a shooter that I wont ever bother to remember the name of, and umm.. Company of Heroes, but for that last game i was ‘lagged out’ and just surfed and chatted with friends. A few more beers then Zzz a couple hours, rinse & repeat.

Tone! It looks like my nec has a fugly branch that belongs to you! 
Ayeh, the LAN was awesome! Fun to meet the guys again and play computer games with/againts em. Food was GREAT, chili casserole on friday. It’s called “Gibbgryta” (gib-casserole), from the LAN’s early days. In games like Quake, gib is the chunks of flesh (bouncing around) from a fragged/killed player, happens after a nasty kill 
Very appetizing i know! On saturday we had the famous Mayhem Burger. It’s actually the first time i got to taste it, and its really an experience! Takes quite a while to put it together with all the different ingredients.
Anyhow, we didnt go to Stockholm only to eat food, altho it was definitively some of the better meals i’ve had in a while. During the weekend we’ve probably fired thousands of rounds of virtual bullets, stabbed, electrocuted, bombed and slimed down hundreds of victims, taken rifleshots in the head and been plastered up just by going near a firstaidkit and making slurpy noises. We’ve crashed and burned cars, naded friends and foe’s, yelled and cheered all weekend, smacktalked and whined. You cant believe the testosteron in the air unless you’ve been to one of these gatherings. 25ish boys (mawaha some of you are still just boys!) and men all wanting to be Teh King of Frag; noiselevel would be through the roof of smacktalk and cheering, even i got excited altho i tend to believe i’m more of the quiet type while gaming. We got home sunday afternoon, feels like i’ve been in half-coma most of sunday and monday, just trying to recover from the weekend, It’s totally worth it!

GuildWars:Factions
Wahey the Big Day is here! At least for all the GuildWarsfans out there. GW:Factions is released today, with a load of new explorable areas, professions and a shitload of new skills. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this day since september or so. I really thought I’d be one of those geeks hammering at the gameshops door this day. Then at some point I kinda changed my mind about getting the game and stopped waiting. Now i’m standing like a goof outside the playground watching the other kids play I still haven’t decided wether i’m getting it, depends on how the withdrawal symptoms act out
Mari Boine - Idjagieðas
You can listen to some inadequate samples here
I got my hands on this album last night. I had pretty high expectations to it, since my bro said it was awesome, and it’s gotten some real good reviews in the Norwegian papers. At first I got really impressed by the first half or two thirds of the album. But then at the end i found it a bit dull and if you’ve heard Mari before, you’ll recognize some of the tunes. This gave me the feeling of some songs being “cheap” reproductions. After listening to the album a few more times today, i’ll withdraw that. This is an album that needs some time, and it certainly isnt something that you’ll want to listen to as background noise while doing dishes. It deserves your full attention, at least the first few playbacks. Some of the tracks totally swept me off my feet, like the titlesong “Idjagieðas”, where she actually sings in a fantasylanguage. I find her being more intense than ever in this album. Descriptions like “emotional roller coaster” and “calm trancelike um something” come to my mind, simultaneously! Bah i give up explaining this album, you just gotta feel it for yourself.
