E3 and stuff

We have spent a lot of this last week watching E3 videos and it have been a great show. The Xbox conference didn't really have a wow factor, a lot of the hype for Xbox was lost due to the critics they already got for there "always online" console as well as the focus on the media-part of the console in there pre-E3 stream. The games that they then talked about on E3 was mostly FPS-games that neither I nor my fiancé are interested in. A lot of the titles will also be coming out on PS4 so it didn't feel that exclusive. 

Then you have the PS4 conference and I really liked that one. They really went all out and delivered not just good games but also meet up the questions about the machine itself that was born from the Xbox-hassle. They really did crush Microsoft in five minutes of the conference and they did it in such an awesome way. It was really well done and I can just applaud there bold move and total defeat of Xbox One.  They also had some really nice titles but I think the biggest one was Kingdom Hearts. My better half really cheered when they showed that one and said that his day was made! 

Then we have Nintendo. I love Nintendo, they takes me back to my childhood. Unfortunately they didn't have a big conference but they had a live stream called Nintendo Direct instead. Unfortunately we had some trouble with the stream and had to go back to check some of the videos later on because of the lagg. the Super Mario 3D World looked nice and the Cat-Mario is awesome! The Donkey Kong was the really surprising game that Nintendo announced on E3, and I really agree with the thing someone said during the GT-talk about Nintendo (do not remember who) tropical freeze really sounds delicious ^___^ I am looking forward to the new Pokémon as well! Last we have the new Super Smash, with the Wii Fit Trainer... The game itself reminds a lot of the earlier one and I don't agree with a bit of the hate towards the Wii Fit Trainer, I think it was kind of fun even if I do not really like her that much. Of course they will have a lot more characters so I don't think we should really get that upset about her. Smash is always fun to play with others so I think it will be fully okay this time as well.

A thing I really missed from Nintendo was Zelda, I love the Zelda-games and got a bit disappointed when the only Zelda-game they talked about was the re-make of Wind Waker. I would like to hear something about the new game even if they don't have something to show yet!

Over all it have been some nice announcements and nothing really bad about E3. It is really nice to have the new generation to look forward to and I know that we will try a lot of the new games! The only big negative thing I have had in my head the whole E3 are  "where the heck is the girls??" Almost no girls are in the games! It is 2013 for f**k sakes, and I really want a bad-ass girl! There were almost no girls on-stage or in the productions videos as well and if there were they got to say "this game is fun" and not talk about the "real" stuff like grafics and story and feeling... There are a lot of cool girls out there that love games and could do a lot better than sitting in the booth in almost no cloths and luring the men towards them. They could really bring something. I get a bit sad when I have to miss them this much... You have to do better!! 

So, that was my thoughts in the E3 so far. Now over to some things a bit different but still game-related: I have an awesome fiancé who just ordered a 3DS XL, he told me that when he gets the new one I will get his "old" 3DS. I am such a happy girl! I don't have money right now to buy on myself so that I will be able to get his is wonderful! unfortunately the thing is black and I think I want to decorate it a bit, I haven't decided yet if I will buy some stickers or if I should buy a skin... But that is something I have to think about! The best thing still is that I will be able to buy the new Pokémon when they comes!

... some tihngs about my life and about E3

When you live with the worlds biggest gamer the time before E3 is kind of hyped and I am starting to feel it too. It is one of the time that I will be able to catch up to the gamingworld and sureley we will both be watching in the nights next week (yes, it is in the middle of the night in Sweden), especially when I finaly have done my last exam for this semester. Maybe we even will make it a party and find some snacks to eat while we at it.

Today I watched some videos on Gametrailers.com as a start-up and I especially liked the new video from The Final Bosman about Nintendo and how they are kind of forgotten for E3 this year. He had some really nice statistics and I think he is right. I am somewath bias towards Nintendo myself, I have played Nintendo sience I was small and it feels comfortable and safe, but I still think that they are worth more interest than they are getting right now. 

On another note I can tell you that the job interview I wrote about last time didn't turn out good. Unfortunatly they wasn't able to hire me if I am in Japan two weeks in July. As I can understand. So now I have to use plan B and just enjoy the summer. I was joking with my fiance yesterday that I would be his housewife this summer, cooking and cleaning and shopping for him and make everything so much easeier for him. I think he liked the idea v(^∀^*) so that is what I will do. I will also be reading, watching drama, watching anime and hang out with my friends when they are free. it is going to be nice even if I will be short on money.I still have some savings I can use. 

The most expencive parts of my summer will be the trip and my need for new clothes. My closset really need new additions, everything I got is so old and nothing fits well anymore, I have also realized that I have underwear that is older than our relationship ( I have been together with M for seven years in June)... So it is time to buy some new things... And for the trip I alredy have a special account and the planeticket are allready paid for. 

It is going to be so much fun! I am so looking forward to this summer!! Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

Ni No Kuni

Finally I have been able to test the game. If you are wondering why I havent written i so long it is because I have only focusing on studying and gaming the last few days. Both takes a lot of my energy and time.

Maybe you allready know but I have been waiting for Ni No Kuni for a really long time now and now when I have it, it is as good as I hoped! I love how they really captured the ghibli-feeling in the game and how it is like playing a movie. The story is really moving along the usual story-structure of an anime movie. And the art is awesome! it is so nice and bright and detailed. It makes you happy just watching it. 

I still haven't come very far in the game, even if I have played for 8-9 hours right now. Maybe I will make a new update when I can write more about the story?  Tell you all if I finds something I don't like with it or so?

Sherlock Holmes Weekend

We had a Sherlock Holmes theme this weekend. First we saw the new TV-series Elementary and I think it is lovely. They have taken Sherlock Holmes to the present day and move him to New York and Watson is a girl! Even with all the changes Sherlock is still the right way, a little bitter and to smart for his own good.

After the three episodes of Sherlock we also watched the two movies with Robert Downey Jr. Again. They are also nice, I know I have been writing about the second one before. But short I can say that I like the puzzle in them, and the humour and the wardrobe. The last one I think makes me like them most! All the clothes is so neatly and nicely done!

Beside watching TV I have also been playing DS and the new Pokémon but of course I am a lot after my fiancé right now (T__T) We also tried Dance Central 3 and played trough the story, I think it was really fun! And in some of the songs I had the opportunity to feel better than my all-around-gamer-fiancé, I doesn't happen very often.

We also spend some hours at a birthday party, my fiancés grandfathers mother was celebrating here 90th birthday and I got to meet a lot of there family. They served a sandwich cake and three different sweet ones. Sandwich cake eh? It is so hard to explain in English because I don't know if there is something alike out there. But in short it is a "grown-up" cake that is made of bread and all different food and decoration. Shrimps, ham and egg is usually standard as you can see. It is a way to serve food instead of only sweet cakes and you eat it with fork and knife. It is one of my favourite things to eat!

So, that was in short my weekend, now it is time to start up the school work again. Fighting!

Gaming - Pokémon White 2 and Dance Central 3

It is hard to study when you want to play. A couple of days ago I got Pokémon White 2 from my fiancé and now I just want to catch them all! But I have to do the serious stuff first, be a good girl... Gaah! Sometimes I really hate being a good girl!

Hopefully we also will get Dance Central 3 in the mail today, so I really know what we will spend our Friday night with ;) I got so happy when I heard that 2NE1 is in the game! So fun to be able to dance to I am the Best.

There is also a really great discussion online abut why Gangnam Style isnt in the game. Apperentliy they didnt have time to get it to work. But the talk is that they are trying to make it happen after the release trught DLC (download Content). For me personly I choose 2NE1 over PSY but if I can get them both then it also would be nice.

I think that using PSY would be great for both the game developers and PSY himself. It maybe also would be good to make k-pop more interesting because I understand what my fiancé mean when he said "2NE1 is not so well known, so even if you can the song and dance you wont have a lot of opportunities to compete with it. It is a song that people will skip over in the game because they don't know it."

That way I think that maybe Gangnam Style would have gotten it to be more interesting, like; ohh, now I want to try more k-pop. And here we have 2NE1...But at another hand Gangnam Style maybe would get all the attention?

However it is, I am really happy that 2NE1 is in Dance Central 3 and tonight I am going to eat sweets and dance all my troubles away. And to celebrate it, it is time to listen to the song once more! (and then go back to work and not to play Pokémon >___<)
