I’ve been looking forward to Final Fantasy XIII for such a long time. I got it on the release day and I’ve been playing it as soon as I’ve come home from work.

I’m currently about 12 hours in and just started chapter 6. I probably did something wrong, but it took me 16 minutes to beat the Aster Protoflorian at the end of chapter 5. Normally the battles are a couple of minutes long, maximum.

You’ve probably read some mixed reviews of this game online (I probably read too much about this game before I started playing it) where people are complaining about this and that. I only have one major gripe with this game: […] there’s more! »

Although I haven’t written much about figures, it doesn’t mean I’ve stopped blowing mone… collecting them.

It’s not every day they play J-Pop on Swedish television. The other day I watched a Swedish game show called På Spåret (translates into something like “on the right track”), where they show a train running and the contestants are supposed to guess where the train is heading. This time it was heading to Osaka, Japan. When they showed some footage from Osaka for the questions they played Laugh Away by YUI and Real Me by Ayumi Hamasaki

Also, I just watched the Hugh Grant movie Music and Lyrics, and I noticed that Cora’s first song (the one she’s making a video for at the beginning) has the exact same intro and ending as BoA’s song Did Ya. Must be the same composer or sampled from the same place.

I’ve just activated the new download function. Good luck

I’ve upgraded my web hotel account to allow me to serve the downloads from the same place as the site is running, which should be a bit more stable than the external download service I’ve been using for the past year.

Now I need some help with the final testing of the new download function.

I watched the Korean movie Our School E.T. the other day. I bought it because Park Bo-young (from Scandal Makers) is in it.

The movie is about a gym teacher who goes the extra mile to take care of students who are having troubles. E.T. in the title first stands for his unorthodox/alien ways to handle things, but then it stands for English teacher once he is faced with the “choice” of being fired or start teaching English.

The story has a nice message and there are a few good moments - I got a little Great Teacher Onitsuka vibe once in a while - but the delivery of said story is not very good I’m afraid.

I’m a very patient person, but […] there’s more! »

Believe it or not, but Girls’ Generation’s latest album Oh! is available on iTunes Store worldwide. At least it’s available in the US and in Sweden, and if it’s available here, it’s probably available in your region too.

You can find it by searching for 소녀시대 in iTunes Store.

Unfortunately, what you can currently buy at iTunes Store is a “partial album”. It’s missing tracks 6, 7 and 12 for some reason.

I think this is the first time an Asian release of an artist I like is available through iTunes in Sweden. I already have this album on CD, but if they start loosening up on the whole “we only release songs in our region”-thing I might actually end up buying something on iTunes some day

These wallpapers are kind of old, but I felt like posting them today

They are all 1920×1080.

Have a nice weekend!
