The Kickstarter phenomenom for games!

Posted on April 13, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

I’ve recently started throwing money after Kickstarter game projects ever since Double Fine introduced us to the idea of funding a larger game through the crowdfunding it has spawned several new games. As of this moment I’m backing the following projects:

Make Leisure Suit Larry come again!
A Video Games project in Austin, TX by Replay Games

Shadowrun Returns
A Video Games project in Bellevue, WA by Harebrained Schemes LLC

The Banner Saga
A Video Games project in Austin, TX by Stoic

Wasteland 2
A Video Games project in Newport Beach, CA by inXile entertainment

And the one that started it all:

Double Fine Adventure
A Video Games project in San Francisco, CA by Double Fine and 2 Player Productions

I am so psyched at seeing how these games turn out and if Leisure Suit Larry will return, he has around 18 days to go and is over halfway there!

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Work

During the next 6 weeks, my entire focus will be on work. I will therefore be shutting down my posting during this period and maybe it will go on further than that since my birthday is coming up in March.

I hope to come back with more updates!

Update: I’ve decided to extend the period of inactivity. I will post a few updates in between though. I don’t know when I’ll be back with regular updates.

I’m writing blog posts for my company at www.heroesandgenerals.com check them out if you’re interested!

Magasasa, a taste of China

Posted on February 1, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Magasasa

Just outside of the main train station of Copenhagen lies Istedgade. Istedgade is famous for a history of prostitutes and shady types selling substances that are not quite legal. Recently a lot of restaurants and shops have begun eating into that territory and one of these is Magasasa. Magasasa is a Chinese restaurant that I have very fond memories of.

Fuji Sushi, it just keeps running!

Posted on January 29, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Fuji Sushi

In my effort to locate and try out the multitude of sushi / Asian restaurants of Copenhagen,  I have stunbled upon Fuji Sushi, which is located at Pile Alle 21,  2000 Frederiksberg. I’ve been there quite a few times and it’s a well run place with a good variety of hot and cold lines of food.

It’s been a success all the times I’ve been there and it’s really a good price for all you can eat Sushi.

Reminiscing about World of Warcraft

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

World of Warcraft - Memories

In January 2005, my gaming life was changed forever. I took part of the European Final Beta and my first 26 levels as a Male Dwarf Hunter was wildly different than the following 6 years of raiding, grinding, guildleading, casual’ing, laughing and meeting new friends. World of Warcraft was my first real MMO RPG experience and I highly doubt I will find or play a game like I played World of Warcraft.

Below you’ll find a few screenshots, a video and some of the best memories I have of the game, that I spent close to a full year (24 hours a day) in.

Densha Otoko

Posted on January 18, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Densha Otoko

Japanese cartoons and tv-shows are so different from their western counterparts, it’s quite incredible. A lot of overacting is common, the meanings and actions are exaggerated wildly and it all makes for often amusing, touching or disappointing scenes. Train-Man or Densha Otoko is an amazing show and I’ll explain why if you read on!

Solar 2, meddling with the beginning of the universe!

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Solar 2

I picked up this little title during the Christmas sales. It’s a sort-of simulation of how the worlds began and how a small asteroid turns into a massive solar system or even a black hole, if the mass becomes too great!

Two for One, a fantastic concept!

Posted on January 8, 2012 by Hsjakobsen

Two For One 2012

In Denmark, the prices of eating, going out and living are quite high. So someone came up with the idea of making a discount book where you get a very simple deal, buy 1 meal / drink or experience and you get the second one for free. The book can be bought in any book store called “Bog & Idé” and I’m sure you can get it other shops as well.

I bought the book for the first time in 2011 and it has given me opportunities and ideas for places I wouldn’t have gone at all during 2011, especially restaurants.

I am hoping that I’ll get even more more out of the book this year and I can only recommend that you get a book. The book is especially good for couples, but in the adventure section there’s a lot of stuff for a couple of friends or if you want to go to Cocktail bars, there’s an entire section for that as well. I could go on with all the take-away options as well!

Check it out on their website twoforone.dk and see if it’s not something for you!
