School has begun!

And damn it's so much to do, right away too. I have homework everyday, books I need to read in order to keep up with the classes, and my first english paper is due next friday... So I'm loaded with stuff to do. Which actually is very nice, something to occupy my time with, it's just a little overwhelming when it's so much right away. I've decided to not study anything today because I'm too tired to think straight.

The classes I'm taking now is, English 112, History 102, Math 4, and Biology 101 including 3 hours of lab every week. The hardest class so far is biology, it's incredibly interesting, but it's also a whole lot of big words which makes i so hard for me to understand. I thought I could fake it at first, and just remember which word does what, but I found out that that doesn't work very well. So I have a lot of catching up to do this weekend, it's a 3 day weekend because monday is Labor day, some type of holiday.

Even though I have so much studying to do, I have started to write some reviews for a recently instated website called snitch.se. I am in charge of the videogames-section, which suits me perfectly. My first review is of the game Metroid Prime 3: Corruption for the Wii. The site is completely in Swedish, so you non-swedish-speaking readers won't understand the review at all, but I can tell you that the game is awesome! Using the WiiMote to move around is truly amazing and it makes you really forget about reality for a while!
My review can be found here!

Other than that, not much has happened, I'm focusing on school as much as I have the energy to (which means doing homework and shit for about 3-4 hours a day...)and the rest of my time, I'm too tired to do anything physical. The writing is a nice break, so is the videogames, so it's really cool that those two things goes hand in hand for me now! I'm hoping to get some games from Nintendo that I can review, but that will probably not happen.
My next review is probably going to be of the Roller Coaster Tycoon series. Me and my roommate is working on a theme park right now that will blow you away when you see it! It's basically perfect so far! If anyone is interested you can find two pics of our park here!

Peace out y'all! Show me the money, shoooow it!

Are you Superbad?

I saw a trailer for the movie Superbad long ago and decided then that I was going to see that movie so hard. It premiered friday and I just got home from seeing it. And DAAAMN it was funny. Way over my expecta- tions!





It's about two guys that are best friends, they are in their last weeks in high school and unfortunatly they didn't get in to the same college so this is basically the last weeks together. They get invited to a party at one of the "cool" kids house and are given the task to find liquor to the party because their friend just got a fake ID with the name "Mc Lovin" on it (that's the whole name on the card). This causes a lot of problems which is very funny.
The movie is made by the same guys who made Talladega Nights (which I actually hated and turned of after half the movie) and the 40 year old Virgin, but it's waaaaay funnier than both of those movies. Awesome casting too, the characters were spot on!

Everybody should check that movie out! You won't get disappointed!

Btw, school starts Friday. Yay!

Peace out gangstas!

Cedar Point

Last Thursday we decided to do a 10 hour road trip up to Ohio and the worlds best Amusement park; Cedar Point. The park has 17 roller coasters and a bunch of other fun stuff to do. They have the most insane rides I have ever been on. Top Thrill Dragster for instance... It starts off by blowing you forward until you have reached 120 mph (200 km/h) then you turn straight up for 420 feet (128 m) goes over a small hill and then straight down while you're doing a twist. The ride is over after only 17 seconds, but daaaamn it was some scary seconds. Off course I had to put my arms up at the top of the track and held them there until the car was stopped! :D
Because of the wonderful invention of youtube, I can actually show you what it looks like!

Ignore the music


Other than that one, they have one of the tallest "Giga Coasters" in the world; the Millenium Force, we did the mistake of waiting until it was dark before riding that one, and since the train goes thru woods there was tons of bugs everywhere, and when you are going fast as hell straight in to bugs you get them everywhere. We actually didn't get that many bugs on us, but the guys sitting in the front seat had them everywhere!

Ignore the music after a while, it's ok in the beginning though.


The newest ride they have is called Maverick and damn that one was intense. It wasnt that high, but it had a 95 degree drop, and went fast as hell! The only problem with that one was that the lines where sooooo long. We waited in line for 2 hours and 45 minutes... it was worth it though :)



Other cool things they have is a ride that looks like a giant swing, that swings you so high and it feels like you are gonna fall to the ground any minute, very scary. Another ride that also is a big swing only that it has a big wheel on the end which spins around as you get swung from one end to another, also very scary. They had white water rapids that you got completely soaked in, and indoor coaster (which we didnt ride), tons of other coasters, wooden and steel, free fall drops etc etc.

It was a very very fun weekend and it was well worth both the 10 hour drive there and home, and the long long lines for the rides! So if you ever are considering going there, go go go!

So long, suckas!
