The busy life of a freelance games information writin' guy
Stuff
Received an early birthday present from a friend in Japan.
A limited edition Uniqlo UT Sega vintage TShirt with Akira on it in all his polygonal VF1 glory.
Cool stuff.
There is no E3 worth speaking of anymore and definitly no E3 in May yet this month doesnt seem to have lost any of its impact in the games industry.
Sega, Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, Konami, Activision, Eidos, Capcom etcetera have events going on all over the world causing over stressed editors at mags and websites to turn to me for additional help.
I can live with that, its easy money and doesnt require me to fly to LA and stay there for far too long at hotels at my own dime.
One of the things I will be covering is an event in Oslo, a city I have never been to before so that should be fun.
The organisers are promising the following: An entire camp, filled with tents, camp fires, drunken soldiers. It'll be like stepping onto a movie set! They will have 50 uniformed vikings, many of them on horses, acting out an actual battle. They have an actor for Conan, live entertainment, an orchestral performance of the soundtrack and much more. And when the night falls we will head into a dungeon underground and celebrate in a Stygian harem! There will be TV cameras there, there will be celebrities and 400 VIPs.
Kinda sounds like the Killzone 1 launch party 4 or so years ago.
Cool stuff.
Overworked but enjoying it so far.
