Personal posts, link finds and notes from the early years of the blog.
Indeed a good commercial, make you think about butterfly effect.
The spot opens on a very dramatic situation that you just wouldnt expect to be related to videogames or Nintendo. The spot clearly demonstrates Wi-Fi as it relates to the Nintendo brand with a nod to Mario Kart DS and it does this in a magical, clearly ownable by Nintendo kind of way.
Ever watched Family Guy? Well then, you should know who Peter Griffin is, and look what i found floating the Internet … Peter Griffin for real!
I’ll let you decide which of the images below that’s real and comic … 🙂
Here they are, the consoles that will be fighting for the spot in our living room later this year. Personally i think I’m gonna go with the ps3 because of MGS4, alto Nintendo is a strong candidate since you can download and play NES, GB and SNES games on it.
Oh, and the Nintendo-revolution-post below turned out to be fake … 🙂
When being a Nintento-freak since childhood, it is hard not to skip a beat when you see a “supposed to be” introduction-movie of the new console from Nintendo.
Fake or not, check it – it’s pretty impressive:
Ever wanted to know if you we’re known on the internet, well, try entering your name into any of the searchengines out there. The query “tommie” returns tommie.nu as the first result on MSN-search, pretty impressive when there is over 404,066 documents containing “tommie”.
The same query on Google returns 960 000 documents and place me on 18th position. I’m not really sure what differers the two search-engines, but nevertheless it’s pretty interesting to score that high on both engines, considering that this is just a personal blog.
Anyhow, i prefer google over msn, but this might change my mind … 😛
So, it was impossible not to play this game. I was included in the open US beta and tried to avoid the game as long as possible, but simply put; it’s a drug … 🙂
Here are some initial screenshots of my character, Teli a level 8 rogue. Story will come.
After a weekend for intense moving and hours of hand to hand combat at IKEA is finally the apartment taking shape. So far I’ve spent about 6500SEK on furniture and it’ll probably end on a lot more. I guess i have to see this as investments … 🙂
Picture 1:
This is my “sleep-corner”, here is basically just my bed.
Picture 2:
This is the “tv-corner”, got a nice little sofa, glass-table and a [small] tv – I’ll probably get a larger one as soon as i get my economy back on it’s feet. I bought myself a home theater system, but it was DOA (dead on arrival), so I’ll be getting a new one by the end of this week.
Picture 3:
“Computer-corner”, my computer and other important stuff. That chair is most temporary.
Picture 4:
“Crap-corner”, I’ll get myself a shelf and an aquarium here later on but for now it’s my crap-corner … 😉
I still don’t think I’ve totally understand it yet, but I’m actually owner of my first 100% own flat. The deal was finished today and I’m now a happy owner of a 40 square-meter flat.
It’s a one room-flat and it’s got a large kitchen with hundred million cabins (feels like it at least), a large room and a fairly large toilet. I’m so happy that i managed to out-conquer the guy who was bidding against me. And best of all, it didn’t go up that high up in price actually.
I’ve lived separated from my parents for more than 5 years now, but this is my first *real* apartment, an apartment which is mine, and only mine.
This feeling is amazing, i which i could feel like this forever … 🙂
Pictures from the apartment;
Paris Hilton, heiress to the hilton-hotel owner, got her t-mobile account hacked recently witch exposed private numbers and emails to some of hollywoods finest, or whatever you’d like to call them.
And, in true Paris Style, were some photos from the phone also published … that girl really got to consider using more clothes, oh well.
It became obvious to her what was going on, says the source. She was pretty upset about it. Its one thing to have people looking at your sex tapes, but having people reading your personal e-mails is a real invasion of privacy.
Some of the numbers from the phonebook:
Lavigne, Avril 1-613-532-XXXX
Lohan, Lindsay +1-347-596-XXXX
Green, Seth 1-323-573-XXXX
Muska, Chad +1-323-547-XXXX
Vin Diesel 1-310-279-XXXX
Remember the “Polo, small but tough” commercial posted here a while ago? Well, it seems like Volkswagen went a bit over the top on this issue, or as Paul Buckett, a Volkswagen spokesman, comments,
We were horrified. This is not something we would consider using: it is in incredibly bad taste to depict suicide bombers.
It gives the impression we’ve condoned or supported it, and is potentially very damaging to Volkswagen. Our legal department is planning an action . . .’
First of all, i strongly disbelief that ANYONE would connect the VW brand with suicide bombers and absolutely not get the idea that the WV polo in some way are a preferred brand of a likes. Furthermore there’s been a quite extensive rumor mill regarding the makers of this “ad”, especially since it doesn’t appear to be a spoof put together by amateur filmmakers, as its production values (e.g., shot on 35mm film, probably at a cost in the tens of thousands of dollars).
The truth is that this ad is made by the Lee and Dan team, a British pair who have produced a number of other advertisements (including viral) known for their quirkiness.
So much for that mystery, I must say that’s it’s pretty impressive that Polo didn’t come up with this by them selfs, i mean – i took me less then 5 minutes to acquire the same info on the Internet. Oh well, let them continue fighting their monsters, but in the end – they’re the ones who gained on this.
