vacation - 19/10/08

one week free!!

Weeeho! Vacation! Oh crap, its already over! :E

I've had one week free from work and that was damn nice! :)
Spent alot of time playing ofcourse...

most importantly though is...



Happy birthday fyrk0! I know its late, but w/e, gratz senpai! Ich habe dich lieb <3!
We (Toni & I) have bought tickets to Sweden now, we'll be in sweden from 18th december till the 25th. I think we will stay at my sisters place, its not really decided though.

Speaking of Sweden - Something that germany really really need is some decent coca-cola cans! Luckily I have my imba coca-cola glass that my sweetie gave me, I dont know how I would be able to survive the days otherwise, I mean, their cola cans are stupid, look...



hahahhaha ^^ Coca Colas cans wearing scarves, wtf, the cola is supposed to be cold not warm! <_<!!

movies/shows

We have been watching some movies and shows lately, here you can read about those:

----movies----

I am Sam
Very good movie. I saw it along time ago and I really wanted to rewatch it with Antonia. It was a great idea (ofc), she really loves it and even though she is a pretty media-addicted freak she still consider it as one of the best movies ever! Very emotional movie and I recommend it very very much!

WALL-E
We watched it together with JT and Katrine, after getting kind of owned in dota or something (I remember I was annoyed atleast :P), it is a cute movie, well made, but I dont think its much fun.. Feels like watching Mr Bean but animated and in space, meh.

How she move
I watched this movie by myself since Toni wasnt really interested, and well, even though I usually like dance movies etc (You got served <3!<3!), the only thing I liked in this movie was the intro-song and a very few scenes in the end, meh meh!

Remember the Titans
Another movie that I kind of forced Toni to watch, its a classic and everyone should have seen it! She loved it ofcourse :)

Babylon AD
The people who made the movie had some great ideas and showed stuff from an interesting angle, but the movie itself, meeeh.

Martian Child
Once again, a movie I wanted to show Toni, its a really great movie and she loved it!

Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events
Yet another movie I wanted to show Toni when we were in a more goofy mood, and ofc, she liked it :) (How could she not? Even the title makes you laugh!)

----shows----

Naruto
We have finished all the episodes (except fillers) before Shippûden, and also seen the first few episodes of that. But the first fight in Shippûden is kind of boring so we didnt watch any for a couple of days now..

Top Design
An interesting reality-show about interior design, we've seen all episodes we have got our hands on and its a great show. It totally made us talk even more about how we want to live when we get older. But our old theory about having it really clean/black&white/sofisticated got somewhat blown away when we entered a really cosy Kebab-restaurant, it felt so extremely like home and we want to have that feeling in our home too. Who wants to have a really sexy couch that will get fucked up when our kids will spill something on it anyway? :D Cosy & relaxed ftw!

House M.D.
Imba. Just great. Perfect.

How I met your Mother
Legendary. However, I feel like its not as good as it was when we started to watch it.

The Big Bang Theory
Wonderfull comedyshow that fyrk0 introduced to me. I showed it to Toni and she fell inlove with it, now we are watching it together as soon as the episodes are released. I love it how Toni sings along with the intro music :)

Two and a Half Men
lmao. 'nuff said.

gaming

Uahh, got alot to tell you all about all the gaming..
We met with JT and Katrine to play some 4player Diablo2, our unstoppable force consisted of Toni: Novasorc, JT: Shapeshift druid, Katrine: Multi Bowazon, J0k3: Whirlwind Barb. AWRAWRAWRAWR!! It is Katrines first computergame ever(!!), so we played it slow, I thought it would be more annoying that it was, we played really really slow, walking most of the time and staying away from getting merc's to prevent confusion. We finished the first act and started the second. I was the keymaster of the group! Always saving the day by bringing keys to open chests and get LOOOOOOOOTek!! We had much fun and I hope we will continue it someday :)
Unfortunatly while playing Diablo2 I accidentaly hit the "Connect to battle.net" button which ended up in a 10 day ban from European Battle.net (I dont have a legal D2 version). This was sucky, sucky as heell.
Now I could not play Dota on European bnet, neither Starcraft (but I couldnt rly care less). What I could do though was to play on US East / US West / Asian battlenet. I managed to get my loved ones to play some games with me on US East and it sucked really hard. The people there are even worse than the stupid fucks at european battlenet and its IMPOSSIBLE to find a non-Easymode game, and easymode sucks.

I was alittle sad actually, I love to play dota but now I could only play with idiots, and sometimes it was alittle laggy. Those stupid fucks have a really annoying way of dealing with people, I remember I joined a game (Easymode, <sigh> there were no other!) and I asked the host if he could please ping, since I am in europe I wanna know if the ping is OK before the game start, and he replied (I quote) "shut the fuck up noob" and then he starts the game, lol! I saw someone saying "Video games don't make people violent. Lag does.", but I think that most of the time its those stupid players who make us wanna rip peoples head of and kick their teeth out and slam a fork through their tounges! Arrrrghh!

Luckily, Tim started to play more and more with me, and since he could host, it was atleast no more stupid -EM games and we always tried to remake with the least annoying ones so we could in the end of the day actually have half a good game. Then, when it was only 2 days left of my ban, Tim had this amaaazing idea, since he is using Listchecker to host, I could join via Hamachi and play on European bnet, WEHO! That made me very happy and we started to have some really really good games. I've played extremely much with my future husband harl3qin and we are such an amazing team, unstoppable! unpredictable! [insert a couple of cool adjectives]! We started doing crazy shit, killing roshan while the first creeps spawn for example, gaining a lvl & gold advantage before even seing the enemies, not to mention an aegis.



Then there was a new verion released, a huge amount of changes and the meta-game totally shifts from lategame carry to early push. The terrain has been changed and new heros and items introduced, alot of really cool things actually. I have started playing Chen since then, and wow you can really have alot of fun with him if you get an early HotD ^^; Running around with 10+ units after you finish necro is a whole lot fun. Something I really dont get though is how IceFrog could decide against nerfing Lycan, he is just too imba. Ah, I could talk dota for ages, but I am pretty sure 99% of you guys are totally bored about it ;p I am extremly active in the Dota-Allstars forum nowadays and I have learned so incredibly much the last couple of months.

Toni on the other hand, has gone on a WOW-frenzy, she plays alot and she is enjoying it very much! It makes me feel so good to see her doing something she enjoy and I get very happy each time she does something extraordinary and turns to me and tell me all about it :)

Together we watch alot of Starcraft games, we've seen all games in the Averatec-Intel Classic 2008 Season 2 tournament that started one month ago (alot of games have been played already, check em out!). Tasteless is now commentating together with Susie (below is a picture of her and my hero) which has its upsides and downsides, well, the only bad thing really is that 80% of the user-comments after the games are by horny jerks who only comment her and her looks, its really annoying.



They have done a great job with Season 2 so far and it has been some really interesting games. Some days ago Tasteless went to BlizzCon to cast some Starcraft games there (check it out, they also let Yellow crush some WC3 player on Lost Temple, StarCraft 2), in the meanwhile, Jason Lee took Tasteless place in the Avertec Classic tournament to cast together with Susie, and bah, more flaming on the comments! Sure, the guy did alot of misstakes and doesnt have the same insight and knowledge about the game as Tasteless, but atleast he is trying and at times he does really well, it would be so much less entertaining without a commentator so guys wtf please give him a break!

Two people in Averatec-Intel Classic gave us some really really really entertaining games, one of them is ofcourse Boxer, going fast-valkyries vs Zerg and nuke(!) him! WTF! That was so awesome :)
But the most fun game must have been IntoTheRainBOw vs AzAng, it was just SICK! I loved it, you gotta check it out!

After all the Starcraft VOD's I followed Tasteless advice and registered at iccup.com, installed everything and tried it once to see how it works. Was cool, I played one game of Starcraft (now I'm good for a couple of months/years) without no lag at all, and it was very easy to find games. SC Bnet really suck, but this was really nice. Who knows, maybe I'll even play again some day ;o Im not even sure if you need a legal key to play there so everyone should definitly check it out (not sure though, dont wanna risk bnet ban again) :)

So, enough about SC for now. I have started to play Monkey Island 3 with Toni, she really want to show me the game and so far I enjoy it, we didnt play much at all yet because we are so addicted to other games, but I hope that I will play it through with her some day :)

other things

Belive it or not, but I did actually do other things than just play games and watch movies/shows the last month! Toni and I have started to slowly learn Japanese, we are using our MP3 players with audiobooks. Toni is ahead ofc, she is such a freak when it comes to learning languages, imba-woman she is. I've also been sick alot actually, but that was some weeks ago, and it really sucked, now I'm feeling great though and I am very happy how everthing is right now :) Toni and I had some amazing talks lately and it really makes me feel good.
We have started a new breakfast tradition (and already ended it kinda), we had a period when we ate shitload of porridge! She makes very very delicious porridge, mmmm! And we made an imba megaman and imba companion cube!! Check out this site, www.cubeecraft.com. Alot of thanks to my sister for showing it to us :)
