In the beginning of last week I got a visitor aaaaaaaaaaall the way from Italy! JadeFelt, one of my awesome assassin minions, decided to come and pay me a visit i my home town a few days before we go to GameX/Comicon 2015! π β€ I live in a really smal town so there is not really much to see but I gave her a tour of our town, took her to her firs swedish fika, we played games, watched movies and had a great time!
Then on Thursday it was time to go to Stockholm for the con on friday! We were gonna have kind of a stream family meetup at the con so I was really exited and a bit nervous to meet everyone. But omg everyone is just as awesome IRL as they are in the stream chat! Thank you so much for coming to meet me and eachother guys! I had a great wekeend! I love you all! β€
From left to right (Twitch names): Tomtebov, DragonDalek, ΓDD (Edsclaw), Randomseb, Keewee (Kiiwiiii), Me, Peter-kun (Eakathor), Hellan, JadeFelt, Kielb (Larsson), Borka.
There were ALOT of awesome cosplayers at the con! I posted tons of photos on my facebook, CLICK HERE to see them all! ^^
In my opinion the con was good BUT there were not enough games! π¦ The games aspect of GameX/Comicon were really small, not enough to play or to buy! π¦ But it was still a great experience and I had so much fun! ^^ Hanging out at the con, we went to a halloween party in Stockholm, we got a bit lost tryig to go back to the hotel because of lying signs and a GPS that told us to go in circles (left, left, left) ;D, played games in the hotelroom.. Summary: Great weekend! β€ Already looking forward to next year! ^^ β€
On monday the con was over but me, Peter, Jade and DragonDalek still had one day left to spend in Stockholm so the awesome Likilato offered to give us a mini tour! First we went to visit a gamestore in I’ve wanted to visit for a long time, Stockholm’s Serie & Skivhandel! A small and very cosy store FILLED with games! If you are lucky enough to live in the Stockholm area you have to pay it a visit! So many games and such a nice staff and owner! β€ Oh, don’t forget to check out his instagram!
We also played LaserTag! (I now know I can’t aim at all IRL) xD It was quite a workout tho! I kida wish we had one in our town maybe I could get some exercise! xD We also stopped by a place that had some pinball machines! π
Then we went to Webbhallen that probably has the coolest game themed interior design possibible! :O β€ Games built into the tables, Metal Slug wall and screens on the wall showing streams! π
BEST TOILET EVVAH!!! β€
I really wanted that Journey paintig! So amazing! β€ And of course the Grim Fandango one too! Both would look really good on one of my walls! π
Blue Potion Cafe! π I wish my kitchen looked like Minecraft! xD β€ Oh and I stared talkig briefly to a guy sitting next to the counter here and working on a game, if there is a small chanse you are reading this I totally forgot to say: Good luck with your game! It’s gonna be great! π
Loved the Portal hallway! And they had twikies at the cafe so we had to try them! ^^
And thank you so much to the awesome Webbhallen employee that gave me some Assassins Creed Syndicate posters and pillar! And of course thanks to Likilato for asking if they had anythig they didn’t need anymore of course! π
We had never tried Starbucks so as an ending to the tour we just had to try it! It was amazing! :3
After an awesome weekend together it was time to go home! I’m gonna miss all of you but atleast we see eachother in the stream! ^^ And I’m gonna start saving for next years GameX right way so I have more to spend, there was so much stuff I wish I could have bought! But I didn’t go home emptyhanded, here is the loot I got this weekend! π β€
On gameX I adopted a kitty and a little batman! ^^
I also got Nintendo earrings and necklace!
Jade also bought me these as a gift! Thank you so much! β€ I love them! You are so sweet!!! (I did find a space for it btw!) xD β€ β€ β€
At Stockholm’s Serie & Skivhandel I really wanted to buy EVERYTHING! xD But this I what I came home with!
When I buy games I often go by what the front looks like, does it have a cool cover? SOLD! xD So I really couldn’t resist Utopia! The cover image is so amazing and well done! You can really tell someone put alot of work and heart into making it! β€ Betrayal just sounded cool so I got that one too! π
I also got Bedlam with the overlay and box for the Vectrex, a new Dreamcast since mine is kinda broken, The Ottifants for Sega Master System, Ecco the Dolfin for Sega Megadrive, Heavenly Sword for Ps3 and the swedish version of Chicken Little for ps2! (It was only 10 sek (Like 1$) so I thought it could come home with me too! Haha!)
I had a great time and I can’t wait until next year! Everyone start saving NOW so we can have a even bigger stream family meetup next year! ^^ β€
Oh, btw… Have I ever told you guys how difficult it is to take pictures of stuff in an apartment that has 3 cats i it?? xD Well I made 2 mini comics to illustrate! xD
I really really really looked forward to getting it in the mail today, it was gonna make my weekend! I waited and waited…. but no package.. π¦ So I found that I could track the package and it was latest seen in Germany! Not expected to arrive until Tuesday.. π₯ So that sucks, a perfect sucky ending to a overall sucky day! Anyone in Germany reading this say hi to my package from me! :(( I guess I’ll have to find something else to play while other lucky people out there get to enjoy Syndicate (have some fun fror me too will ya π ) but finding somethig else to play should not be so had considering my game-backlog is HUGE! xD Haha!
I have a todo list as long as up to the moon too! Time flies and I don’t seem to be able to catch up.. x( So I really shouldn’t play at all… But if I’m ever gonna get things done I need to de-stress a bit first (never thought being on sick-leave would be so stressful) :O So I’m gonna spend a bit of time with some boys that always seems to be able to cheer me up, the Winchesters, the Assassins and Gin! β€ (And some tea and candy too! :3 Sorry about the candy B_Grafix! x)) )
After the sugar kicks in I’m gonna get some stuff done! ^^ Good plan is good! Have a great Friday everyone! β€
The super awesome and extremely talented CierBear on twitch made a drawing of me and Gin! I love it! π Thank you sooooo much! ^^ Everyone go check out her other work on instagram and give her a follow! <3<3<3
I had a blast this weekend! We went to Gothenburg to go to RSM, a retro game convention and probably as close to nerd heaven on earth you can get! β€ Tons of games, tons of people and tons of fun! In this post I'm gonna show you what I bought! π I always start saving for RSM the day after the con basically, just alittle here and there to make sure I can go each year. This year I did not go as crazy with the shopping as last year, I had a budget and I only went alittle above it! π Here is what I got:
This was really cool, it’s the press-release version of Fairytale Fights for ps3, and it looks like a book! π I also got a new screen for my Game Boy, a Zelda Iphone shell and A FREE BATMAN! π β€ Yay! Haha Even though I don’t have a C64 yet I just had to buy these two games, the fronts were just priceless so I had to have them! The I.Ball dude kind of looks like batman right?? I mean the design of him, exept from the fact that he is a ball! He even have the same crooked half smile! And this mermaid was just so….. wow! The look on that poor divers face, pure panic! xD I also got YOSHI SLIPPERS and Rush n’ Attack for nes! ^^
I also found some Vectrex games! The Armor Attack + overlay my sister sneaked off and got for me and then hid in my bags! I was so scared when I found it when I was unpacking later, for a few seconds I thought I had accidentally stolen it! xD Haha! Thank you again sis! <3<3<3<3<3
And here we have the traditional gaming themed head wear I have gotten each year so far on RSM! This year I got a Mario beanie! π I also found inFamous: First Light REALLY cheap! π I added 2 gaming cups to my collection and Tetris coockie cutters!
I also bought 2 Sega Megadrive games, Lemmings 2: The Tribes and Zoop! I have no idea what Zoop is, some kind of puzzle game it seems. I was just really drawn to the front! π I also got some japanese Gameboy games, Hamtaro something, “another random game with a hamster” 1 and 2, Kirby’s Dreamland and something I’m guessing might be a cooking game! xD The awesome Likilato was also at RSM and he was selling games at the SΓΆders Spel & Skivhandel booth! After I did some shopping at his booth I got to choose a game for free in his loot box, I went with Stuart Little 2 for Ps1! Thank you again Likilato! ^^
This year I bought alot of games that I felt was visually beautiful or funny, I took a dive in a Snes box and found alot of cool looking games, the two most beautiful was definetly Romancing Saga 2 and 3! The japanese really have a talent for making stunning game fronts! The game to the right of them I have no idea what it is but it looked cool! xD I also got Tetris, some other “pretty front game” and the game with the boys on the front I bought because Seb said it was fun! π I bought Titan just because the guy on the front was so funny! That facial expression is so awesome! xD And all dressed in what looks like some kind of latex suit! And of course… EXPLOTIONS! This game must be packed with action judging by the front! Haha! xD All these games I got at the retrospel.se booth! If you are swedish check out their online store! π
I’m very happy with my shopping this year, I met alot of very nice sellers and got some great deals! Thank you so much! <3<3<3
The cats were very happy when we came home, Gin became a “Gin-sticker” and stayed as close to me as he could until he finally purred me to sleep! That’s why I’m posting this blog post one day late, I had written about half of it when his superpower was too much for me and I just fell asleep! He is a grey fluffy little Jigglypuff! xD I did however manage to try one of my new tea cups before I was in dream land! ^^
Oh! Btw, did you spot all the batmans? He is hiding in every picture :)))
I’m sick AGAIN! (This is ridiculous, stupid malfunctioning immune system) :(( I’m trying to chock my boby with tons of vitamins and anti-cold stuff so I get better asap! I’m really getting sick of beeing… uuumm, well sick! xO
I have been playing alot of Don’t Starve these past few days, it’s so much fun but oh sooooooo frustrating! x( I usually die somewhere between day 30-40 (yeah I’m a noob) and always for some stupid reason too like I don’t have enough wood or grass to make a fire when night hits, or standing to close to an angry beefalo, freezing or overheating… I never die in a cool way, like an epic battle or something like that! Just by making stupid mistakes! I was even killled by a bee one time! xD But hey, since the game is called “Don’t Starve” and I don’t technically die from starvation… that means I’m doing something right….. right??? xD Poor Wilson! I never manage to build something to cool him down with before he dies! x(
Oh and by the way! Look at this Gin-art made by AleaFlight! It’s so awesome, looks just like him! Thank you so much! I love it! π Please check out Alea’s Deviantart to see more of her work! β€
Last night during the stream we starting talking about when one of my cats (Gin) got sick and the reason I can’t really buy any new games anymore is because I have to pay the huge vet. bill first… Just a few minutes later I heard the donation sound and It said “For your cat”! I was really touched by the kindness behind that donation, this bill really weighs on me and and I wanted to say again: THANK YOU SO MUCH Seanj73 for making the weight a bit lighter! I really, really appreciate this! Here is a little guy who also wanted to say: “Thank you from the bottom of my… paws!” π (That was sooo bad right???) Hahaha! xD THANK YOU! β€
This is usally how my gaming nights ends.. 98% of the time! x) You see my cat Gin has this amizing super power to cuddle me to sleep! He’s like a fluffy little grey Jigglypuff! xD Haha!
On another note I want to talk about streaming! I was thinking (as you might already know) that I was gonna give this a real try and see if I like it! π Now, I was thinking instead of saying “btw I’m streaming NOW” I’ve decided to make a schedule! π I’m going to stream on TUESDAYS, THURSDAYS and SUNDAYS starting at 19.00! (I found this map easy to calculate the time difference from Sweden to wherever in the world you might be) ^^ I will try my best to keep to this schedule but it is not set in stone, since I start working again soon I might be working late on these days sometimes! I’ll just make a tab on the top of my blog and I will update it every week so you always know if there is any changes! I’ll also use my twitter and instagram to tell when I’m about to start! ((Wow, I feel so organised! xD)) Ok, sounds good??? Great! π I hope you all have a great saturday and I’ll see you tomorrow on the stream where I will continue my struggle in Rouge Legacy! π *Hugs*
Well not stuck as in “I need help moving forward”… more like I’ve been playing fot 2 days straight and I can’t stop! x)) Haha! This game is so addictive, I have totally been “in the zone” just playing! (Hence the silence, sorry about that!) x) Maybe I should try to figure out how to put up a stream… Hmmm.. That way the blog won’t get so lonley when I play… Well anyway! I’ve been playing The Sims 3 Pets on ps3! “A fun, fast and easy way to get some trophies” I thought.. Fun, yeah! Easy, well kind of, but fast? Noooooooooo! x) It takes so much time! But hey, as long as it’s fun that is what really counts right?? ^^ My little sims family consists of me and the cats! ^^
And Gin! ^^
And just like in real life Gin always sleepy next to his mommy! It’s like the game knows! :O Haha!
Tonight when I get home from work I’ll try to resist my sims-urges! I need to finish Mass Effect 3! x) Haha! We will see how that goes! Now It’s time for some breakfast! I hope you all have a great day! π **lotsa hugs**
