Just thought I share a thought.

Whatever happened to the iPhones Visual Voicemail? What I know, nobody talks about it. Its not featured nor advertised anywhere (for what I know). Nothing, nada. And in my case, why does it never arrive at all here in Sweden?

*Writing this, I am still a bit touched by the series, the ending and the mass… effect… of it all.

So… I just recently, a couple of hours ago, finished Mass Effect 3.

Did I like it? Did I dislike it like the rest of the interwebz went on about when It got released? No. I’m more confused about what happened and what did not happen though.

Now, spoilers ahead.

Yes this is my Shepard that I have played as in three games now.

I had a hard time choosing between the three last choices in the game. (As it was stated that Shepard was going to ‘die’ whatever I choose. Though I was okay with that.) But from what I got I gathered stumbeling forward. If I destroyed the reapers, the Geth and mostly all technology was going to end with them. And I had no interest of controlling them. So the only logical thing I could choose was the middleground. Merging organics and synthetics.

But now I’m confused. The game made me feel wierd. (Yes, I felt bad and depressed actually.) But not because it was a bad ending, I can’t even explain what I’m feeling atm. (Maybe sad?) Adding tricked… I was not shown what happened to the Geth as an example.

But anyway…
The last part after the credits made me wonder if Bioware went “It’s all a dream” on my ass. So I started looking for answers and ran into this video.

Shepard, indoctrinated. Hmm, that is interesting points that you are laying on the table, I never even thought so far. (I did think the inclusion of the boy in the beginning and the dreams was wierd.) So I looked further on the interwebs, and found this page’s text and video.

Taking in the information of the video makes me wanna give Bioshock a big thumbs up. It makes sense, its complex and its nothing I have seen before. The ending, I love it.

Now I only hope that the “Next Mass Effect” (that has been in the talks about) will not be more about Shepard or Reapers. That era has ended. Leave it, expand the universe of Mass Effect with something else instead.

- Shepard out.

(And just for the hell of it. the intro of ME2 is imo one of the best (if not the best) intro to a game ever.)

(And I’m gonna edit this text the next coming days when I myself am past the indoctirnation of ME)

I’m sold on Google Glass after reading and watching an article on The Verge by Joshua Topolsky.

I was sold when I read that its not just voice commanded but also swipe commanded.

Here’s what you see: the time is displayed, with a small amount of text underneath that reads “ok glass.” That’s how you get Glass to wake up to your voice commands. Actually, it’s a two-step process. First you have to touch the side of the device (which is actually a touchpad), or tilt your head upward slowly, a gesture which tells Glass to wake up. Once you’ve done that, you start issuing commands by speaking “ok glass” first, or scroll through the options using your finger along the side of the device. You can scroll items by moving your finger backwards or forward along the strip, you select by tapping, and move “back” by swiping down.

Tonight I’m watching “TBB - AFK”. I have been looking forward to it for a while.

→ Stream it from SVT Play
→ Download it from The Pirate Bay

TPB AFK – My Review (Peter Sunde)

I’ve seen the movie a couple of times. Lots of people are asking me for my opinion about it, and I’ve been kind of reluctant. The reason is that I’ve got a split view on it. On the one hand, the movie is great in terms of photography, editing, sound. The experience the viewer gets of the movie is kind of like a thriller. But on the other hand, it’s not my view of the things that actually happened during this period.

I bought a Nexus 7 recently. I enjoy it quite much.
But, atm I’m into my third one. (Probobly going on to be a fourth one) Why you say?

Well the first that I got could not upgrade to the latest version of Android, (wich it was supposed to.) and after a couple of days it started creaking on the right side of the device.

So I went back to the store and replaced the device and got my second one. On that device I saw that the frame had started to bulge out. So I returned to the store again.

And then having used the third device over a weekend. It suddenly starts to creak just like as the first one did…

I wonder if this is the problem I’ve been having with the first and third device:

Screen separation and creaking
Android Authority discovered that some Nexus 7 screens don’t appear to be attached very securely, causing the case to make a creaking sound. The geeks at Android Authroity and XDA Forums have a DIY fix, but we’d advise ordinary consumers to just return their tablets.

This might be minor things that only I and other wierd people find odd. But like with a car, you wouldn’t want it to have an exhaust pipe that makes sounds that it shouldn’t make.

And I was right on my theory on “The Walking Dead - Video Game” by Telltale ending.

I’m calling it right now!

In the last episode of “The Walking Dead - Video Game” by Telltale, Clementine will have to shot Lee. Why?

- Well first of all, Clem learned (somewhat) how to use and fire a gun. (But has not yet used this skill.) Second, as you may now, Lee is bitten, and since you get a heavy fever that slowly kills you, Lee will turn. In my opinion it would be a pretty epic ending to what Telltale is a first season.

So, as stated… I’m calling it. I might be wrong, but I hope they do something like this (imo it will go well with the tone of the comic series).

I’m now playing the mod ‘Black Mesa’. (Formely known as ‘Black Mesa Source’.) ’Black Mesa’ is a independent take on ‘Half-Life’ made with the Source engine.

http://wiki.blackmesasource.com/Black_Mesa:About_the_Mod:

Black Mesa was built and founded on the basis that Half-Life: Source didn’t fully live up to the potential of a Source engine port of Half-Life. As such, Black Mesa was founded to fully reconstruct the Half-Life universe utilizing Source to its fullest potential in terms of art detail, level sizes and code features. It should be noted that the project is being built from the ground up and is not a simple port of Half Life maps and models into the Source Engine. The idea is to remake the storyline used in Half Life into a new polished Source Engine version with new models, maps, soundtrack, voice acting and textures.

Valve, why don’t you hire theese guys to work on Half-Life 3?

Went to see The Dark Knight Rises today.
And to put it shortly, I thought it was a pretty good way to end the Nolan-trilogy.

Today me and Linnea went to see this Swedish movie called Cockpit.
It was pretty good, I liked the tone and the messages.
