Another update here in the middle of the holidays.

First, the League of Legends tournament. We lost our first match and was therefore out already after the first round. But we played well. It was a fairly equal fight most of the time, but the other team was just a bit more prepared with a greater strategy. We also did a couple of stupid things where one of them even led to a complete whipe, which the other team used to push one of our inner towers. I have not played much LoL since then because of all the holiday stuff, but me and Døng have started a new website which will feature LoL statistics - more on that at a later time.

Both Steam and Good Old Games are having large holiday sales and this year I treated my self to a few games from gog.com. Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem Manhattan Project and the two Earthworm Jim games are now part of my game collection. Sweeeet.

Nothing else new have happened - big surprise :P - and my next blog entry will most likely be in the new year, cya then.

Happy new year and all that.

Holy crap its been a long time since my last entry :o . I had planned a couple of entries but I have been too busy to actually write them :( . So this is just an update basically to tell the world, like it cares, that I am still here :P .

So what have happened since my last "update". Not much actually. School have taken up a lot of my time since we are only two in my group this semester and we are still writing almost as much as we did on any other semester, where we were six people. We plan to finish next Friday so we can relax in the Christmas holidays. This year, I will be going home to my parents, what a shock, and stay there for Christmas and new years. As far as I know we will spend Christmas eve in my brothers apartment, we did the same four years ago in mine. Last year we abolished gift giving, but instead added the game known in Danish as "pakkespillet", translated to "the gift game" I guess. We play it with cards which means that in turns we pick a card that tells us what to do basically. Usually the game is played with a dice that when you get a 6, you can pick whatever gift you want. This game of course means that I have to bring several small gifts, as it was not hard enough already :/ .

The same day I wrote the last blog entry I also started played League of Legends. The DotA clone game that does it much better than both DotA and HoN. It is well structured, clean graphics, and kind of fun. Together with some guildmates from my World of Warcraft guild I have been playing several premades over the last few weeks. We were supposed to participate in a tournament last Wednesday but it was pushed because of patching and problems that followed. So now it will start on Monday instead.
I expect we have a chance to win the first match but will most likely loose the second. The reason is that we still have not really figured out a good strategy (champions, lanes, jungling, items, etc) that fits us well yet. I doubt any of our opponents are reading this but I still wont be telling more until after the tournament :P .

As my time was not limited enough already I have also started to re-watch Gilmore Girls. Stupid, stupid, stupid :/ . But I pretty much had to since I have already re-watched Family Guy, American Dad, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory, Coupling, Firefly and Futurama this fall. I have also started to regularly watch The Daily Show, great fun and a bit of news.

So... incoming cheesy effect: Merry Christmas ... and all that stuff.
