Alive again

Tuesday, March 6th, 2007

After a grueling week of influenza I almost feel like myself again.

I saved up enough strength to play the two tutorial missions last week, got 2 hours of gameplay before I had to go to bed. But now that I’m all better I can try out the skirmish mode when I get home from work. The stuff from the two missions look really nice, and with Michael Ironside (Starship troopers), Tricia Helfer & Grace Park (both from Battlestar Galactica) in the game cinematics, this should be pretty interesting. The game is released in Norway around 29th or March, and since I’m moving on April 1st. this means I wont be able to preorder the game by mail.. Hope I still get my hands on the Kane Edition, maybe I should go to a store and reserve a copy today.. damn.. It just occurred to me that I wont have any time to play the game since we have to move all my stuff.. gaaaagh!

I haven’t had the flu since I was in primary school, and it was much worse than I could remember.. I was looking forward to just lay on the couch a few days and watch TV, but it was really uncomfortable and I was pretty much unable to watch TV or operate a computer :(

At least Stacy got sick as well (misery really DO love company), but I don’t think Nemi got it, which is a consolation of sorts. Maybe it’s because that little furry vermin eats much better(healthier) than us and maybe got a better immune system :)

aaanyway.. Season ending of heroes should be “available” today, got to see how that turns out.. Seems UFO:ET has been postponed, but 16. April is not that far away, I’ll probably be to busy moving and playing C&C 3 to notice :)

Farewell cruel world!

goddammit, I managed to catch a cold.

Not that having a cold is THAT bad, I just get pretty hazy and dizzy which mean I’m not going to do much good as a programmer.

Also being home from work is not so fun as it might sound.. Just finished Far Cry and have no games to play (why couldn’t I get sick AFTER Silent hunter 4 or C&C 3?).

Me and Stacy also watch practically every tv-series worth watching together.. which means I don’t have much to choose from when doing solo-watching. Only things I can watch without watching something I’ve seen 3-8 times before is either the A-team or ‘Allo ‘Allo!, and honestly none of these tempts me at the moment :(

gaaah! sick again

*Cough Cough*
goddammit, I’m fairly sure this is a direct result of me starting to use public transportation again (cant use my little überscooter when it’s icy and cold). Those buses in addition to providing me with the latest advances in human body odor , serve as some kind of sociobiological experiment where 20-40 random people from the population are stuck into a 10 meter long tube and exchange germs for half an hour..

Tried to do some work from home today, nothing like diving head first into a pretty unknown corba server-client system when you got that wonderful flu feeling (feels like I have drunk half a bottle of Stolichnaya (my favourite vodka by the way))

“Aaah Winter.. Yes… Winter”
It’s snowing, bad for me as previously stated this renders my only form of healthy transportation useless, however my ferret Nemi thinks snow is waaay cool, and has already been out playing a few times.

It’s snowing.. In hell
I actually bought a PlayStation 2 last week, with Lego2 Star Wars II.. A unexpected move for someone who has on numerous occasions stated their blatant hatred for both you might think?.. Well, the original star wars trilogy ARE the star wars movies that I hate the least, and since my hatred for Microsoft burns like a thousand suns that kind of rules out getting an Xbox.. I could have gotten a Game Cube but what would be the point of that??
Haven’t played the lego2 game much, and has just finished the fourth chapter of the first movie, playing it coop with Stacy so can only play it when she is not at work or otherwise unable to do some gaming.

the weekend

gah, I’m sick (flu) so now I can stay on the couch all day and watch Stargate SG-1 without feeling guilty, not that I ever did..

I’m starting work this Wednesday at Intrapoint, a company that makes Crisis manager, and quite a few other products..
I’m going to work on a multiplayer online game (java) that is a EU project, the game will allow players to invest in a virtual market.

Perhaps all those hours of playing Capitalism 1 and 2 will no longer seem like such a waste
