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 new kpop-videos~

Resently there have been some new MVs that I would like to share.

EXO - Wolf

I dont know if I love or hate it, but I do know that the "ulf"-part really is catching ;) 

CL - The baddest female

 

I don't know what I should say. It is nice seeing CL doing her own MV but... Somehow it is over the top. I don't like the video but the song have some nice parts. 

Lee HyoRi - Bad Girls (dance vers.)

 

I like this bad girl-video more than CL, especially the dance version with english lyrics. The song is catching and the video have a measage that I like. 

100% - Want U Back

I like the chorus in this one: Want u back girl!

B1A4 - What's Happening?

and finally some cute boys with a crazy video...

... 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

Some sun in the darkness

My world have been kind of dark lately because I haven't gotten a job during the summer yet. I have really been so frustrated because I don't have enough money to survive this summer besides the money I have saved up for my trip to Japan. All the workplaces I have applied for have chosen someone else over me and a lot of them haven't even told me about it themselves. But today I got a call and I will have a job interview next week. 

Even if I haven't gotten the job yet and I know that maybe it will be a problem that I am going to Japan for two weeks in the middle of the summer, I am still really happy that they at least are interested in me. I have a chance! If I get the job then... I will be really happy! Yes, I already have a B-plan for the summer, with money saved up that I can use. And yes, it would be nice to have a whole summer off and just be able to take it easy in the sun. But a job would be even better. I could make money instead of loosing them, I would have something to add to my CV and I would have something to do. I also have friends working in the same place and hopefully I will be working in the same department. 

It isn't a glamorous job, I will be working in a chicken factory the whole summer, but it is still a job and I can promise that it is better than my last job as a on the phone customer service employee where I got yelled at all the time. So I am really hoping for this and even if I don't get the job I will see it as a good experience and still be happy that I at least got an interview! Wish me luck!

Japanese sweets I would like to try

a couple of days ago I made a blog post about some of the Japanese food I want to try during my trip in the summer. Now it is time for the sweets and snack-version of the list. Here goes:

Daifuku - I feel you have to try traditional japanese sweets in Japan

Dango

Kakigori, shaved ice. This looks wonderful, especially in the summertime

Taiyaki

Melonpan

Koala's March. I have tried the strawberry ones but chocolate is interesting

Umaibō

Pocky!
I have tried a lot of different kinds of Pocky in my life but I will try a
lot more! Like the panda and some dessert pocky I haven't had earlier...

Hi-chew
I have heard that these are popular. And I really like all the different flavors!

Yan yan

Green tea ice cream

Japanese crepes.
Crepes isn't Japanese but I have heard that they are wonderful! 

Bubble tea.
I have had bubble tea before as well so my main focus is getting my BF to try it ^__^ 

Japanese kit kat.
In Sweden there is just one flavor so I have been longing to try some of the stranger ones in  Japan. 

Now I have most certainly missed some really awesome things and I am sure that I will try even more while I am there. Hopefully I can take a lot of pictures during my trip and then post them here afterwords. Maybe I can write a little about my reaction trying them as well.

As you can see a lot of my money this summer is going to get spent on stuff in Tokyo, mostly on things you can eat and drink. Oh, yes! i haven't told you about stuff to drink (except the bubble tea) and the main reason is that I am not really sure what to try. Any suggestions  I know that they have different kinds of flavor on Fanta and stuff so I am going to try that. I also want to try some Japanese drinks... We have to see what I find! ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

2PM - Comeback When You Hear This Song

I love this song! It makes me happy and hopeful even if the lyrics is kind of sad. I can also see myself walking a lot with this song in my ears, it gives me energy and I want to smile towards the sky. I somehow compare it to Big Bang's Blue because they makes me feel almost the same even if the songs is different. 

I like the theme of the video and the wardrobe as well. The guys looks cool and... Swag! I am a bit tired of that word but I can't find another way to describe it. The voices is good and is a big part why I get this happy feeling I get watching it. Taecyeon and his rap *sign*... I can feel his voice in my stomach! Especially when he tells me he loves me! Kyaa~

(and no, I am not usually a big fangirl of any group...)

The adding of the seven deathly sins was also a lot of fun in the video, I found myself searching for them. They added something. Like the "greed company" and the picture with Envy on it that describes the feeling in the scene. Such a good touch!

I think the only thing I don't really like is the six guys one girl concept. I understand that You can find different stories in the video and that they maybe end up differently depending, but still.... It feels a bit wrong.

Japanese food I would like to try

Lately I have found myself googeling pictures of japanese food as a way to pass the time until our trip to Tokyo. I hope that my money are going to be enough because I want to try everything. Here's some sample of what I have found that I would like to try:

Udon (Kitsune Udon in the picture) is one of the noodles I want to try!

Then yo have Ramen, the skinnier noodle from China

Soba noodles, also a japanese noodle

Yakitori, grilled chicken

Tempura, deep fried seafood and veggies

Okonomiyaki

Gyoza, japanese dumplings

Gyudon, rice and beef, a kind of donburi ("bowl" or "bowl of rice").
It is said to be very cheap so maybe we will be eating a lot of this?

I really love Japanese curry and plan on buying a lot with me home <3

I make my own omurice at home but it would be good to try the real deal ^_^

Tonkatsu, deep fried pork, looks wonderful!

So these were some of the things I would like to try. Besides this I want to eat Korean BBQ, a lot of the stuff they have in konbini and a lot of sweets. Maybe I will make a new post about some of them? Do you have an suggestion about other things I should try? Please leave a comment! ʕ´•ᴥ•`ʔ

EDIT: I have a new post about Japanese sweets I would like to try
