  1. Company of Heroes. I finished the campaign last night, and just a few hours ago did I just figure out how to play as the Germans. So I'm having fun with that.

    Finland

    It's coming up fast (This May actually), but will do! Thank you! And as a side-note: The Finnish premier of Star Wars 7 is 2 days before the US version, so I'm really excited for that... mainly because I'm going to give fake spoilers to my friends haha.
  3. On DVD: Under the North Star. I watched it with subtitles, and it was a very interesting, though hard to watch at times, war film,. In theaters: Kätilö This one was without subtitles, mainly saw it because it was advertised by my bus stop. So I mainly guessed the plot from what little I understood, gestures, and took a more hefty approach to the sound effects than usual. The weapons in the film sound like actual weapons, compared to air soft weapons with sound added in later. And given my limited experience in the Finnish war films, I would say it was alright, at least a 7/10 film that I would gladly watch again. Just with subtitles.

    Finland

    You know how I said I wanted to go to Finland to study abroad? Well, I've finally done it. After two years of planning, I got onto a plane back in August (I am really terrible at keeping up with my blog). And since being here, I have made many Swedish-speaking Finnish friends, explored the towns, took a cruise on over to Stockholm, and so much more. I have been to sitz parties (so much better than the parties back home: there's food!), I have a pair of overalls with over a dozen patches either on it or ready to be sewn onto it. I'll try to remember some BZP appropriate stories. Maybe they'll be funny, maybe you'll hate me for wasting your time. But the Best way I can summarize Finland: I was born in the US, but I found my heart in Finland.
  5. Captain America. Switched to it around the time I read Ed Brubaker's Captain America run. After that, I was obsessed, leading it to where it stand's today.
  6. Mistake of the eyeball. Only after a few hours on Wikipedia sometime after posting did I find the mistake.
  7. I finally got around to seeing Jurassic World, and I enjoyed it. When going to see it, my friend mentioned that it was along the lines of a soft-reboot, ie: new people, but the previous stories remain intact. The two points I want to focus on: the literal ending (how to do this without spoiling it... I'll figure that out), and the Brontosaurus scene. Brontosaurus scene: Absolutely heartbreaking scene. Borderline tears in my eyes watching that. It was like watching a family dog slowly fade away. I like to think that most kids growing up are heavily invested in the awesomeness of dinosaurs. Even in Jurassic Park when the Brontosaurus is traveling with across the screen, it was an awe inspiring moment for me (and hopefully others) growing up. To see the (possibly the same, if not (again, hopefully) a related) Brontosaurus in the state it was left... just heartbreaking. Literal ending: I think the best way I can say this without giving it away: I got chills watching that. Not the bad kind, the great kind. Like a king rightfully taking back his throne. It was glorious.
  8. After 34 levels, a hundred hours, all the progress I have made in Skyrim came to an end... Because Bethesda cannot make a game without glitches. WELP *claps hands* glad I borrowed it from my buddy!
  9. In theaters: Guardians of the Galaxy Drax... oh my gosh, how do I describe this guy. I gotta go watch it again just for him. On TV: Air Force One How did Harrison Ford go from still looking relatively young, to what he looked like by Indiana Jones 4?
  10. Due to visa issues, it looks like I'll be delaying studying abroad in Finland until the Spring 2015 semester. That leads to a whole set of other issues like graduating on time (more on that much later), but at this point, I don't care. i want to go to Finland. I'm not going to let anything get in my way of that.
  11. Not always here, but I'm here.

  12. I got Premier Membership mainly because I had the money lying around, and allot of free time. So I thought to myself: why not support the site I love?
  13. April Fools Day 20... 11 I believe? It was one of those days on the site that I can never forget, because it set the tone of a huge forum fun experience for me that hasn't been matched since. To this day, I'm not sure if the full entirety of the staff were in on it (and I don't want to know). Members were choosing sides, "My fort is better than yours," "We have Hulk" and eventually Hapori Tohu had to step in... It was one of the funnest days on the books for me.

    On Finland

    So I got an e-mail a few days ago. This Fall, I will be studying abroad in Finland I have friends out in Finland who will help me out, and I have friends that studied abroad recently (though, they went to Ireland (How many people at my college went to Finland?)). Either way, I have a great support group for this. Of course, this means I'll have to resign from my LEN Vice-Presidency sooner than expected (Originally thought Finland would happen in the Spring), but I let the current President long before hand. Made a letter of resignation, and I recommended somebody for the position. So the club should be okay.

    Last Forever

    I felt beyond cheated when Ted went back to square one, not to mention throughout other parts during the episode. The part of the finale that I'm happy about though is The Barnacle... the creators may have went a bit far by having him shame those two girls at the bar, but otherwise I'm happy with how he ended up.
  16. So the final episode of How I Met You Mother aired tonight. Everything was set up perfectly, and was executed perfectly. I loved this series, up until the last three minutes. Barney finally growing up, brought a tear to my eye. Everything afterwords just got me angry. I want to hear your thoughts: what did you think of the finale?
  17. PS3: Grand Theft Auto V: I've completed the game, but now I face the issue of having not enough money to buy the big moneymaking venues, requiring for me to play for a longer amount of time. Not that I mind. PC: Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault. I completed it before, but now I'm doing so again.
  18. yeah woah, that game. nuts. played undead nightmare yet? YES! I got 100% on it the other day, and I feel totally awesome about it. It's the first Rockstar game that I got 100% on (Bully would've been the first, but it's stuck at 99%. I have no idea what I need to do to get that 1%, because I'm sure I did nearly everything I needed to).
  19. In the College Life: Since the semester ended, I've started going to the gym and I lost around 10-15 pounds, and I'm able to lift up to 90 pounds on weights (yeah, it's not much, but "The journey of a thousand miles..." and all that). I worked my college Orientation, and I liked it for the most part. Somebody lost their key on the football field, so my buddy and I went searching for it (keep in mind that this was in the dark). We turned up nothing. Went back to the Residence Hall, chugged down a Mountain Dew, and searched for that key again (cuz I wasn't going to let my school to replace a lock and key). didn't find it. The next day/morning, it's found when one of the football players step on it. So, all was good. In My Regular Life: After working Orientation, I went shopping with my friend, and we ate at Friendly's afterwards. I talked with her about all the other blood-boiling stuff that happened during Orientation (which she tells me happens every year... Challenge Accepted (for 2014)). And shopping with her was surprisingly fun. We went to Barnes and Noble, and she helped me out in deciding which Star Wars book to get (Book of the Sith, or Imperial Commando). She helped me in going for Imperial Commando, and it's a pretty good read. Along they way, she had to go shoe shopping (her sandal was broken, and it only lasted two minutes (This is something worth bragging about: shoe shopping normally NEVER takes two minutes with anyone. It was sheer luck that we walked in, and instantly found the shoes). The Lone Survivor movie trailer has been released, and I'm already excited to see it. I'm preparing to go see it as a midnight release, and then a second time with friends. I have a friend that's moving to Connecticut, and I'm already making road-trip plans to visit her. I'm aiming for visiting during Thanksgiving, but I have to find somebody willing to drive for four hours (I'd do it, but I lack a license) to and from (unless we can spend the night somewhere). At the absolute worst, I will buy a bus ticket to where I need to go. Nothing will stop me from seeing my friend. Gaming: I have (finally) started getting into the Assassin's Creed series. It started off a bit slow (learning controls and such), but I liked it. My main complaint though was that there really much variety with saving the citizens (which I've heard is fixed in later games, so nothing to worry about there). I have 100% in Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare. Like the main game, it is so much fun. Television: I've only recently came across How I Met Your Mother. Why haven't I seen this show before? The first few episodes that I watch, and I end up loving the show (namely the episodes with Honey, Ted getting left at the altar, and Marshal and Lilly's House Warming Party). While I do like Big Bang Theory, no matter how hard I try to watch it, I need to watch it with friends. It's probably because I first started watching it with friends, And that's it for my life as of late.
  20. Red Dead Redemption.So horrifyingly addicting. I spent practically ten hours the first day playing it. What was I doing? 3 story missions, HOURS of the ambient challenges. I'm so close to 100% completion; I just have to get the US Marshal outfit and the Bureau outfit and then I'm all good.

    Finland

    After some serious talks with my friends, and despite my fear of flying, I am honestly considering studying abroad in Finland. Now this means I'll have to bump my GPA up to AT LEAST a 3.0, and that will be tough. But once that's finished, I'll do what I can to try and attend a semester in Finland. Now why Finland? 1) One of my friends is Finnish, and provided allot of info on the college that I would try to attend. 2) Not gonna lie, I want to meet foreign people (I know I can go to Canada for that, but it's not exactly the same). 3) The college there provides classes in History (my major) and Political Science (my hobby). The fact that one of the classes is Nordic History makes everything more interesting.
  22. I know! You never know what's going to happen, but you can at least leave with some very awesome stories.
  23. So I find out a few days ago that my best friend won't be coming back to college for a semester. So, five days later, with only three days planning, I get some friends together and we do a road trip all the way from Central New York, all the way to Western Massachusetts. Around a three hour drive. Once we picked him up, we went to 99's and ate there (I had the Jammin' Crab, my friends had wings, and potatoe skins). We went to a local mall (where I finally found a Metal Gear Solid Foxhound T-shirt), and I got Mad Men Season 2 (because Mom loves the show, and I got her season 1 for her birthday. Take a wild guess what her Mother's Day gift shall be?). Then we went to my friend's grandmother's place back in New York, and had a homecooked meal (and it was spaghetti, so that made my night). Somehow, along the way to my friend's grandmother's, we went through Vermont... still not sure how that happened, but that's another state to cross off my list. Followed by a continued drive home, where I fall asleep to music that most people would just randomly start singing to. We got back to the CNY around 9PM or 10PM. I don't know when, I just went to bed and slept. So yeah. I can plan a road trip in three days to visit a friend.
  24. I've been watching AMC all month trying to watch that, and I have yet to see it. It depresses me. But yes, I love that movie too. "Rodents of unusual size? I don't believe they exist."
  25. So I got my first semester of college done! Averaging out with a 2.74 GPA. I'd say I'm pretty happy with the grade, and I'll have nowhere else to go but up from here. Merry Christmas, and have a fantastic New Years. --Guy
