Dreamhack, European gaming house.

There is so much going on that I find it hard to keep up. But a short post for today. Today we have mostly Starcraft related news and it is a BIG day for Stockholm and Sweden. Dario "TheLittleOne" a.k.a "LiquidTLO Wünsch has announced a pro gaming house being started in Stockholm with several prominent and Swedish members of the Starcraft 2 pro gaming scene. This means that these players will be living and playing together 24h a day. It really shows that the Starcraft 2 scene is stepping up and getting serious!

Also, today the Dreamhack Stockholm Invitational Starcraft 2 tournament kicks off in Kulturhuset. The tickets for this event was sold out in no time. Fortunately the good guys and girls of Dreamhack allows us all to enjoy the tournament through livestream from 17.00 today (GMT+1). Playing are tip-top gamers from all over the world such as LiquidJinro, EGIdra, LiquidHuK, and oGsMC.

Hey! All Out Dubstep is streaming a set TONIGHT!

Hey I know something you should do tonight. Get some club feeling in your comfy chair at home!

All Out Dubstep is part in Swedens club life that really shows what talent and ambition can accomplish. They regularly host club nights in all three of Swedens largest cities and I dare to say that they are the Swedish dubstep scene. They also do crazy stuff like arrange cruises with all the sweetest club acts and DJ:s in Sweden as well as a gaming area(!)!

Anyways. What I wanted to let you know is that tonight they will be streaming a set starting 19.00 (GMT +1) with probably the greatest dubstep known to man. I will totally be tuning in. You should check it out too. Do some bunker rushing, 4 gating, baneling busting, hadouken spamming, or AWM camping with the dirtiest beats in your ears. Or just get a better soundtrack for your lolcat surfing.

Gamer Pics #1, Dragons Lair Stockholm, Warhammer 3D pictures

Today I bring you Gamer Pics #1. If you want to be in a gamer pic, drop me a line and tell me why at sthlmgeek@gmail.com

So this is me playing Super Street Fighter IV and it´s all just an excuse to show that I have bought a Nintendo 3ds! I bought the Aqua Blue version and I am pretty happy with it. You should expect some updates about Streetpass and other fun stuff in the future.

Anyway, I put my 3ds to good use yesterday at the game night at Dragons Lair Stockholm. I had some trouble with the lighting and such but please, if you have the possibility to view .mpo files (3d images) you are very welcome to download this archive and check out some sweet Warhammer figurines!

It seemed to be a sweet night at Dragons Lair and the place was filled with tabletop and computer gamers battling it out. I checked out a Warhammer 40k game for the first time ever and played some Left 4 Dead and Starcraft with Tiger. I missed out on the free Magic the Gathering playing and I am a bit bummed out about that but it was a good night anyway.

Looking forward to the Dreamhack Invitational going down on Tuesday. Too bad I missed out on the tickets!

Later players.

Camera, Mouse Bungee, future bloggings, culture night.

Duuudes it´s my birthdayyy1!! And I, recieved a brand spanking new Casio camera. 14.1 megapixorrz and shift stabilization (whatever that is). I have never owned a digital camera so this experience is really new to me. I have no sense of how to take good photos so it should be interesing.

Anyways whats new I dont know. Tonight is Stockholm Culture Night (Kulturnatten) and for you nerds out there it might be nice to know that you can get yourself a free trial game of Magic the Gathering at Dragons Lair before 20.00 tonight. After that it´s free board game gaming all night, and also WoW and Left 4 Dead. I am going to go there if I still feel like it at 22.00 when my buddy Tiger gets out of band practice. If you go there, don´t forget to register for free membership at their homepage first.

Also tomorrow I intend to upload my first geeky outfit of the day. Why you ask? Because I am just going to start uploading whatever I feel like to this blog. Expect outfits, reviews, musical performances, and tips on what to do in Stockholm aaaalll mixed up baby.

Staying on the geek theme I present to you, the other present I recieved today!

Yes it is a "Mouse Bungee".



I am just going to go ahead and label this as completely unnecessary. What is worse is that I have matched my gaming setup by buying all black pieces and this grey monstrosity kills the theme! However I AM going to use it because I love my little brother who provided this piece of computer equipment. And also because it actually is a little bit useful. It lifts the cord to the mouse up to allow for free movement of the mouse. The cord moves very easily through the device so it does not in any way hinder movement. Get it if you want to go ultra pro or if you don´t know what to get your gamer friend for her/his birthday.

Finally, I leave you with this picture I took on a walk to nearby Ulriksdals castle (Ulriksdals slott).

Beware of the giant frogs people!
