I knew something was wrong with me...

... and now I know what..!

Long time no see!
You're probably wondering what the heck I'm talking about now. Well, earlier this fall I had an examination, took some bloodtests etc, and they found out I have more testosterone than a woman should have. This led to another more intime examination and I finally got my answere: I have PCOS. If you don't know what that is, you can find out more details on wikipedia, 'cause I'm bad at explaining things (and maybe a bit lazy) x)
This means I had to change my diet drastically, and take medicine daily for the rest of my life. Right now I'm figuring out what is good food, and no-food, since I can't eat carbs after the middle of the day. So I'm eating more vegetables and meat than I used to before (don't like the taste or consistency of some types of meat), and cut most of the snacks. I might eat some chocolate in the weekends, but not too much. And soda doesn't even taste good anymore, or carbonated drinks in general.
So, yeah, had to change A LOT of things for myself. This is probably the main reason I haven't been much active lately, since there have been so many things on my mind. Not only this diagnosis, but also the pushing to get into a job.
The last half a year I've been working with advertisement productions, making window decor, special designed mugs, and lots of other stuff. I learned a lot from the practice job there, but it wasn't quite the thing I'd want to work with for the rest of my life. So I asked my supervisor to try something else, and now I'm working with IT and computers (which I actually wanted before I was put to the previous job). But there was a catch if I wanted to work there: start work at 8am  and leave at 2pm (instead of 10am to 3pm), have exercise on tuesdays (get to go 2 hours earlier from work to do so), and work 4 days a week instead of my previous 3. This first week has been pretty rough, but at the same time I feel I get more time after work to do something fun, even though I'm pretty much exhausted when I finally get home around 4pm (busses are a pain in the you-know-what).

So as you can see I've been pretty busy trying to adapt to my new schedules and diets and what not! Hopefully I'll be better when my medicine starts working properly (have to step it up slowly so my kidneys don't fail in the process), and feel more energized from some exercise ^^
Hope you stick around until then, maybe I'll post more game reviews in the near future. Currently working my way through Rise of the Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 (God, I love these games!)

Until next time~!

EA Access

So, this is not a game, but it is game related! :)
I've seen a lot of people questioning this subscriptionbased service, but I'll take my time and explain this to you guys :) Because this service is actually pretty neat!

First of all, this service is Xbox One exclusive. As far as I know, Sony declined this service, because they were "thinking of their customers", so they wouldn't spend too much money to enjoy games. But this service rather SAVES you money than wasting it!

How do you save, you say? Well, with EA Access you'll have an automatic 10% off ALL EA titles! This was really nice for me when getting Battlefield Hardline Ultimate Edition (I saved about 10-15€ on it!). So yeah, you get 10% off their games with this sub :)

This gets better though! With this subscription you also get to play free games in the Vault, and right now we have 9 games there; Battlefield 4, Fifa 14, PvZ: Garden Warfare, UFC, Need for Speed Rivals, Peggle 2, NBA Live 15, Madden 15 and Madden 25. I was thinking of buying NFS Rivals, until I saw the Vault on the EA Access, and then decided to go for the subscription instead x)

You want more? Well, we got this "test the game before buying it" option on some of the games, or the Early Access option as well. You get a set of hours you can play the games before you decide to buy them. If you like, you buy, basically. If I didn't get the EA Access and had the ability to try out Dragon Age Inquisition, I would never had bought it!

But with all these goodies, this service must be expensive, right? Well, I think it's a cheap prize to pay for this: about 20-25€ a year. Not sure the exact prize in € since I pay with NOK, but this should be about right :)

So, what do you guys think? I thought I had lost hope for EA, but this service might just have redeemed them, at least from my view :)
Just sad that Sony said no to this service, their costumers would probably have enjoyed it.
Anyways, this is it; The EA Access!

Until next time~!

To the noobs and the "pros"

This is something I've wanted to say for a while, but I guess I havent had the time to write about it yet x)

This has bothered me for a long time: Noobs that think they know everything and won't take advice, and pros that are so full off themselves and think they know EVERYTHING and call you stuff if you don't follow their "orders".

So to all the noobs out there; LEARN TO TAKE ADVICE! I've met some really frustrating people while playing a lot of Warframe lately. Most of the people I try to talk to pretty much tells me to go to hell and calls me names and stuff. Seriously, I've played this game since the beta, and since it launched on Xbox One, so I have some experience in this game. Ofc, I don't know EVERYTHING in this game, but when I try to explain how a gamemode or event actually works you shouldn't go bananas angry and throw shit all over the place :p
And when you get a mean message from an experienced player, think for a second. If there are a lot of newbies like you, and they do the exact same misstakes as you, don't you think this experienced player are getting tired of this crap..? They probably get a lot of hate messages because they just try to help. Everyone is a noob at least once, and you should take advice from the more experienced players. That way you'll get better in the game, you know! ;)

And here's for the so-called "pros": DON'T BE AN ASS! Trust me, the noobs aren't the worst in this community, it's the ones calling themselves pros. They usually think so highly about themselves, so they tend to be pretty mean to others. What's the point of being arrogant and mean..? Do you feel better about yourself when you throw shit at others..? Instead of throwing insults, why don't you just chill and give some advice? If the other player reacts with insults etc, just send him/her a link to this and say "READ THIS!".

The gaming community has become just more and more crappy, and you need to find friends to play your games with to avoid assholes. This is not how it used to be! What the hell happened??!

A pretty angry post today, and probably a lot of spelling mistakes x) But it feels good to express my feelings towards this.
I hope I didn't make too many people angry, I just wanted to make people think a bit more about their actions and behaviour. There's no need to be rude to each others, and people should start reflecting more on how the person on the other side of the screen thinks and feels. They're another human being you know!

Anyways, until next time~!

Been gone for too long

Heya!
Long time no see, eh? Ehehehe.. ^^'
People who knows me already know what's been going on in the weird head of mine, but I might have to come out with the truth now that I'm getting back on my feet again.
You remember I worked at Gamestop about a year ago, right? Well, that didn't really end well... 2 weeks before Christmas they gave me the "we have to let you go" message. I was crushed. Totally wrecked. I were already struggling a bit with mild depression, but that just took the cake. After that I've been shutting myself in. I didn't want to talk to ANYONE. Everyone was like a pest to me. I just wanted to be left alone. Just wanted to play my games and forget about everything bad in this world.

After some months I finally got help. Talking to someone always helps, trust me. I didn't think it would, but it does. I've been talking to a Psychiatrist for about half a year now, and I feel a little better already. I'm currently working my way back to the social parts in my life, and hopefully I'll be able to work in a normal job again soon. Until then I'll start doing some more Youtubing/Streaming/Blogging.

I hope this post doesn't make you guys look at me like I'm a lost cause or a broken person, 'cause I'm recovering and I'll come back stronger than I were before! What doesn't kill makes you stronger, right? :p

Anyways, the good news is that I'm going to be a lot more active here on my blogg (and Youtube-channel when I get a better mic). I've been playing some games now, so I guess I'll start with reviweing those :p

That's it for now!
Until next time~!
