My girlfriend is an awesome artist, and I wanted her to use her talent more often! So we came up with the idea of me pitching her a new idea every week, and she drawing a sketch of that idea. I love the concept and will post the results right here, on my blog.

First out: the idea of a collision of the two BioWare worlds of Dragon Age and Mass Effect. Something from the future meets the fascinating idea of magic. Think of a robotic being wielding the powers of magic.

A couple of days ago Mats included me in a 123-book meme. I’m no stranger to challenge, so I reached for the first book I saw, and here we are!  As faithful readers no doubt know, there are at least two candidates. Or perhaps there’s another book altogether?! Who knows?? Will the suspense ever end?!

Yes. Yes it will.

For the first time in, well .. ever, I’ve actually bought books online. Not that the “online” part makes any difference, I can’t remember the last time I was in a book store. I’m not an avid reader, being the Computer Age kind of kid I am(aka procrastinating lazy dweeb).

I require my entertainment in an electronic, digital state. Any type of entertainment complying to these obscene demands are highly regarded, and obviously accepted, in my house. Because of this I’ve, somewhat shamefully, only read one (1) not-gaming-related book. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. Absolutely loved the shittles out of it, and still remember it surprisingly well, despite being years (two) since I read it. All my other book experiences are game-related. Halo. Warcraft. Starcraft. Mass Effect. Yeah, I’m a gamer.

That being said, I’m really looking forward to getting the books, as the bloody heat wave ravaging through Norway makes anything (including playing games) a sweaty, sweaty pain.  So, what books, if any, did I buy? This isn’t just a lie it is? Have I actually bought anything at all?! Only the bravest, most tech-savvy of my readers will be able to find out, by reading the rest of this entry.
