I'm back

After having this blog lying dormant for almost a year I've decided to return and start blogging again. Maybe not as actively as when I started it, but at least a few times a month.

It's a real shame though I haven't been able to post here. I've had tons of ideas, thoughts and stuff over the past year I have thought of writing about here. Such as my view on what elements that make a good mmo, well, good. Rants about Mutant Chronicles... you know that old swedish sci-fi/horror-rpg that's about to become a b-movie, and worries of what Paradox will do with the game-license.

(Actually they almost wasted it on a crapgame some years past.. I did some research and came up with some scary facts about that embarassing project.. good thing they pulled the plug tho. Hmm.. might actually still write that rant.)

What else.. oh yeah. I thought of making a long comment on Neil Strauss 'The Game - Penetrating the secret society of pickup artists', and all the theories in that book about male and female interaction, and of the whole pick-up artist society. (Yeah made some research into that too.. morbidly fascinating I might tell you. There's a lot of that stuff on Youtube actually.. try searching on terms like "PUA". "Style", "Mystery" and "Juggler" and you might find some of it at least).

One of the reasons I never got down to write the stuff down here is because I really didn't give myself the time. And much of my writing-time gets spent on Gameplayer and the newschronicles I prepare for every friday there. Of course they aren't as personal or interesting as a real blog. But they somehow drain the blog-energy out of me. Which somewhat is related to my return here. I need to start write more for myself, and not only others as of late.

Anyway, I'll be back in a couple of days with a more proper update. This is just a small headsup. And I promise, this time I'll be back for sure.

I'd like to read a rant about Mutant Chronicles. The pen-and-paper RPG had the best character generation rules at the time, in my opinion.

Well, not sure about best, but damn sure the most fun ones ;)
