Another 15 minutes

Yesterday me and a couple of my friends played some Guitar Hero World Tour at my place. Towards the end of the evening we decided to try out playing the drums on difficulty level “expert”, but with another person controlling the bass drum (the foot pedal). Removing the pedal from the main drummer proved to be a winning concept, most songs were actually pretty easy on expert when you could concentrate on just your hands. Perhaps the neighbour downstairs were less thrilled though, sorry about that.

Saw “Quantum of Solace” yesterday, the latest James Bond movie. I agree with the critique I’ve heard about when it comes to fast cuts in the action scenes, it’s pretty annoying in the beginning of the movie actually. The story had the potential to be pretty good, the villains plot is realistic and in line with the current world order, but I think it’s abit too political and also it leaves alot of loose ends. Overall it was an OK movie, but far from the top ranked Bond-movies. Actually it’s far from a normal Bond-movie that you expect with all the gadgets he normally uses in his missions, Q-branch isn’t even represented in this one I think.

Yesterday (Thursday) evening one of our hardware supplier companies (called Portal) at work had a party gathering for their clients at a hotel near the Globe Arena in Stockholm. We went there ofcourse with high expectations for free food, free drinks and good music. It was a good time, even though we were only three from our company there. I managed to get alot of free-drink-tickets, so I had to gave some away eventually. It was a nice party, but working Friday was not.

… and lots of it. Today when I woke up after a good night sleep despite of my hurting elbow since last nights Guitar Hero World Tour adventure playing the drums, I looked out the window of there was lots of snow everywhere, there was none when I went to bed.

Yesterday I picked up my complete bundle of Guitar Hero World Tour, and we had alittle afterwork at my place playing it all evening into the night. It was very fun to play four people at the same time (drums, lead guitar, base guitar and vocals). A few of the changes to World Tour from the Legends of Rock edition that we noticed pretty quick is that anyone in the band can pick up “star-power” that any other bandmember can use, and that’s the only thing you can do to save eachother from sucking, since the gig is over if only one bandmember fails to keep up his part of the show.

Also I think, atleast so far, the songs are not so good, there are a handful that are very nice, but most of them I had never heard, but there will probably be a few more when I unlock them. One can also create rockers that looks like you, features and clothes etc, but it took too long so we didn’t bother with it yesterday when we were eager to start playing.

Overall I think it’s a very nice game and I will have lots of fun with it and learn to play the drums even better than I did now :). I will probably post some more about this game in the future also.

I’m a big fan of Star Trek, the TV series “The next generation” in particular, which I think is the best one. But I’m also looking forward to the new Star Trek movie that’s coming out on May 9th, 2009, directed by JJ Abrams. This film is taking place in the beginning of captain James T. Kirk’s (Chris Pine) career when he first enlists at Star Fleet, the Enterprise was first built and their battles with the Romulans. Starring as the young Spock is Zachary Quinto, also known as “Sylar” in the TV series “Heroes”. There is alot of secrecy with this movie, and little information revealed but it seems like there will be alot of action in this movie.

Recently a new trailer was released (there is only two to date), it doesn’t say much about the story in the movie, but here it is…
