Got some new games

I’ve added some more games to my collection. Last week I bought World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria and for the first time I ordered the Collectors Edition. Not sure if it was worth the extra money, but the box is cool. Some days after I got an Game Boy Color in the mail with some bonus games (Olympic Summer Games, Legend of the River King and a 32 in 1 pirate cart). I’m also waiting for a blue Game Boy Color cause I want to frame them in with the matching Pokémon game (Yellow, Blue and Red). Like in the image below. Last but not at all least I bought some game from a guy on a forum I frequently visit. I got Killzone Liberation (PSP), Folklore (PS3), Deathsmiles Deluxe Edition (X360), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii), The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (Wii), and The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword Collectors Edition (Wii)! Now I finally can play Skyword Sword, as I didn’t want to open up my own Collectors Edition.

Vietnamese pate

Made Vietnamese pate with my girlfriend today, we have never done it before, but it tasted where good, even though it’s a bit stiff for a pate.

New bike tire

Bought a new tire for my yellow bike. As I where experiencing flat titee several times the last month. So, of course I had to buy one with yellow stripes. Tried it out to today, and it felt okay. Not sure how a new tire is supposed to feel. You may also notice that I’ve been riding fixi. Was hard and not really that fun, so I switched back when I got home.

Power grid

Trying out a new boardgame at a friends place. As the name suggest it’s about building power plants to provide electricity to the cities. I think it’s a cool game, with a lot of tactic and little luck. Which is fun. You need plenty of time when playing, especially the first time. The reason is that every round is split up into five phases. With buying buildings, material to produce electricity, and buying buildings.

Arducopter

It’s so easy and fun to blog with my new phone. So I just wanted to tell you about what I’m trying to do now. What you see on the image is something called Arducopter. It is a helicopter with four rotors. And it’s all controlled by an Arduino. The problem is that we crashed it, so now it its all unstable. So time to calibrate.

Near-field communication

I’ve spent most of the day testing NFC. It’s really fun and far from as difficult as I thought. So today I managed to make an app who can read tags, and when your not in the app. The system ask to open the app to read the tag. I’m probably going to post some code on how to do it on my other blog.

New phone

Bought a new phone on Monday. A Samsung Galaxy Nexus, so now it’s time for some Ice Cream Sandwich development. I’ve already started with testing the near-field communication option roof that the phone has. It’s pretty cool!

I finally also have a phone I can use when I jog. Today I used Endemondo, and took the image you can see at the bottom. Yomorrow I’m going to try Zombies, run! A game that let you pretend that you live in zombie world.

Some more vinyl toys this week. Spotted an anatomical model of Barbie over at PlasticAndPlush and just had to post it, I also took some time to pick out some other cool anatomical models by the creator Jason Freeny. If you have the time you should also check out his other creations. I got some cool smiley toys.
