And it snowed…

here in Oslo.

There would have not been any photos this week. Had it not been for Suri who has yet to get over his Snow mania. So when it snowed…i took a few…”2″ frames for him.

What else…prepared some minced meat during the weekend.

The photos from Barcelona are in the works…its a bit harder than usual given all the problems i had during the trip. So please be patient.

Made a new lite version of my book…160 pages.

In gaming news…i have been playing a lot of Quakewars as usual. Seems like lots of kids bought the game during Christmas. As a result the servers are full of n00bs. I dont necessarily hate n00bs but its annoying when they dont listen to you and keeping doing n00by stuff. We ended up finding an empty server and inviting friends…looked fine for some time…then the n00bs followed us to this server as well.

I have also been playing the new Prince of Persia.

The gfx in the game is phenomenal. Looks really really good. But…the gameplay is lacking. After playing for a few days, (dont get me wrong i will finish the game)…i figured out whats wrong with the game…there is no motivation at all. The story is utterly confusing…which does not help either.

Good
GFX
Free roaming
Controls, climbing etc

Bad
Story
Characterization

Ugly
Voice over and dialogs

Frognerseteren and hula hoops

No longer procrastinating…so here is what went down last weekend.

Got up in the morning and Sid had disappeared and so was 3000NOK. Anyways…at that point i did not know about the money so Satish and me went to Frognerseteren.

Next day was at Ville and Riikkas place.
