601st post!

Celebration time!

So last post this Wednesday was post number 600. Post 500 was back in October 2014 and was about Hyrule Warriors. Amazingly it's also been 8 years since I started blogging back in the old Washington 2008 blog I had during my study in Washington DC. I later abandoned that blog and imported the post to this one. It has been some up and downs in the blog as well as my life. First of there been periods when I've hardly been writing anything for maybe a month or two. When I began it was mostly a post every day and today I've been at least able to have a post a week. Mostly due to shifting away from everyday things and political discussions to video games and movies. Of course would you blame me when that seems to gather the greatest hit count? For some reason Avatar is the most watched post I've ever written and I don't know why. Could be that I released it the same day as the movie and made a rather good (according to me at least) case for how unoriginal it was and how Cameron seemed to have reused earlier concepts from his movies to create machines and aliens and such. Funny enough my post on Phantasy Star is the second most watched on the blog and I have no idea why, is it because I name dropped both Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy? In that's the case this post should probably walk to the top of the charts then, but my guess it will only register the 5-20 views a normal post get. Also there's only been like three commenters and two of them from the old blog. Funny enough I think I actually answered them on Facebook since I knew them from there. If anyone has anything just say it and I might even answer today on the blog itself. Imagine that.

So these 8 years, what have happened? I finished university with a degree, spent some time unemployed. Had an internship at a bank, worked at a saw mill, participated in the local municipality and at the moment doing my second turn at the county administrative board in Södermanland. Not a permanent job, but it pays the bills and with time I shouldn't have much problem getting an other job. You know, experience trumps education, but you need education to get the experience, but they want experience before you get to try get experience... I'm not gonna go political on this. Have a great time and have fun.

Edit: Seems I've miscalculated the posting for this and it actually went and become nr 600. Stupid Eurovision always coming in the way. Well it fits between two game series since I just finished of Heroes of Might and Magic III. So next week will be another game series spanning almost a decade and were you the player is the hero. Hope to see you there. Oh and there will probably be an Eurovision update this weekend when the final contestants enters the stage before the second chance and final... two more weeks of this. oh God!
