I haven't updated the blog since my last post in May (about Sanna Nielsen going to the final in European Song Contest 2014). Writing a blog requires time and enthusiasm for different topics, and I realise now that blogging isn't really my thing.<br />

Vilken finalkväll!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mina favoritlåtar framfördes mycket bra och vilken rysare det var med poängutdelningen! I början ledde Ace Wilder med sin låt "Busy Doin' Nothin" med sju poäng före Sanna Nielsens "Undo" efter att Internationella juryn sagt sitt. Och när telefonrösterna hade räknats visade det sig att "Undo" vann årets Mello med endast två poäng ifrån "Busy Doin' Nothin"!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jag är medveten om att många trodde och hellre skulle vilja se Sverige representeras av Ace Wilder. T.ex. i <a href="http://www.metro.se/melodifestivalen-2014/det-ar-tjejernas-ar-i-ar/EVHncf!w7AoggrdGLCI/" target="_blank">gårdagens Metro</a> skrev reportern Anneli Sandberg att "Ace Wilder låter mest 2014" samt att hon trodde att "hon kan gå segrande ur den".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Självklart är det upp till var och en att få tycka vad man vill, men jag tycker ändå att rätt låt och rätt artist vann. Jag tycker att Sanna Nielsen är en professionell artist med en stark röst och som kan ha kontroll under press. Jag har flera gånger velat att hon skulle få representera Sverige, och nu lyckas hon äntligen få den chansen efter sju försök!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Det enda tråkiga var att Ellen Benediktsons bidrag "Songbird" inte var bland de fem bästa, för den är riktigt bra.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nu finns Melodifestivalens alla låtar mer eller mindre på YouTube, och följande är mina favoritbidrag från årets final. Observera dock att dessa videoklipp är från deltävlingarna och inte från själva finalen.</div>

Ahahahaha! Jag kan inte sluta skratta när jag ser detta videoklipp. Har ni också sett det på YouTube? Om ni inte har sett det ännu, så rekommenderar jag <b>starkt</b> att ni gör det om ni vill träna skrattmusklerna. Daniel Norberg (som var med i Idol 2010 om jag inte har fel), gör en parodi på årets Mello-finalister. Och han gör det väldigt bra måste jag säga.<br />

Yesterday (March 4th 2014), we finally got the news of a new game in the famous <i><b>Batman: Arkham</b></i> video game franchise. It's called <b style="font-style: italic;">Batman: Arkham Knight</b>. The game, created by the British <i>Rocksteady Studios</i>, will be the forth and final game in the series. It will also be the first game in the series where players can control the Batmobile.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have many thoughts regarding this. Firstly, I'm sad that Rocksteady has decided to conclude the series with <i><b>Arkham Knight</b></i>, although I understand that it's better to end a series perfectly than badly. Secondly, I'm glad that Rocksteady has to make Gotham City bigger and the streets wider (compared to the ones in <i><b>Batman: Arkham City</b></i>) in order to make room for the Batmobile. Thirdly, I'm still disappointed that sexism is still present in the game - I'm thinking of Harley Quinn's provocative outfit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Although many people - including my countrymen - love and praise Batman: Arkham City, I'm not impressed with the game. Although Rocksteady intended to create the second game about "Batman in Gotham", Arkham City (I'm talking about the prison with the same name of the game) feels small. The prison isn't meant to be large, but since it consists of an older part of Gotham with famous locations like Crime Alley, Gotham Cathedral and Ace Chemicals, I think it should be larger than that. And the streets are narrow like a small suburb! This doesn't feel like a former part of a big city at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Regarding the sexism in the Arkham-franchise, I fail to understand why Rocksteady has chosen not to re-use Harley's classic outfit introduced in <i>Batman: The Animated Series</i>. While the male characters are fully dressed, Harley (like in the previous games) still have some parts uncovered - you can see that in the trailer at the end of this post.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In Arkham City, I would say that both Catwoman and Harley Quinn had the most impractical and sexist outfits. Poison Ivy is a "logical" exception since her appearance was that of a "naked-goddess" similar to Aphrodite.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are some of my many thoughts of the franchise. Now please enjoy the YouTube-trailer of Arkham Knight:</div>

Vad kan man säga?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Man får tycka hur man vill om "Mellon" igår, men jag tycker att det är tråkigt att bidraget "När änglarna går hem" inte gick vidare. Även om jag blev rörd av bidraget "Bröder", så var låten faktiskt monoton.<br />

Kommer ni ihåg att jag skrev att deltävling 3 var den svagaste i årets "Mello"? Jag tar tillbaka det påståendet. Gårdagens deltävling tar hem detta "pris".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jag såg fram emot Alcazars och Linda Bengtzings bidrag. Tyvärr åkte Bengtzing ut och Alcazars <i>Blame it on the Disco</i> känns bara som en ny variant av <i>Stay the Night</i> (Alcazars bidrag till Melodifestivalen 2009). Och personligen tycker jag att Stay the Night (som ni kan lyssna på i YouTube-klippet nedan) låter mycket bättre.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Humorn då? Tråkigt som vanligt. Jag kunde inte låta bli att le när jag såg Vargmust framföra deltävlingens "nionde bidrag". Annars var det inte mycket bättre än så.</div>

On January 25th 2014, I started <b><i>The blog of Lord Greenleaf</i></b>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today, February 22th, I got more than 1000 pageviews thanks to <b><i><a href="http://www.easyhits4u.com/?ref=greenleaf871" target="_blank">EasyHits4U</a></i></b> (EH4U)! Thank you EasyHits4U and thank you - both EH4U and non-EH4U visitors - for making this possible!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I got more than 1000 pageviews!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
My blog gets approximately 20 visits a day. While it's not much, it's more than enough for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have a website, a blog or an online service of your own, I really recommend the traffic exchange service <a href="http://www.easyhits4u.com/?ref=greenleaf871" target="_blank">EasyHits4U</a>. Although it does take time to browse through other websites in order to get visitors, it really pays off.<br />
<br />
I like EH4U since it has a 1:1 exchange ratio (= visit a website, get a visitor) and you also get a $0.30 bonus for browsing through 1000 websites. If you want to earn more money than that, then you'll need referrals.<br />
<br />
One other great thing with EH4U is that the service tracks how many people have visited your website. You can also create splash pages (simple webpages with little information about a service, website etc.) to promote it. As a free member, you can promote up to 15 websites (or blogs etc.) in total.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Please note that EH4U isn't meant to be a "Bux" site where you can earn money. EH4U is a traffic exchange after all!<br />

Do you have a company, an association or a website where you need a logotype? Then <i><b><a href="http://www.logotypecreator.com/" target="_blank">Logotype Creator</a></b></i> is the service you need.</div>

It's very simple: First you type the name of your company etc. and then press the button "Generate Logo Now!" You'll now get a selection of different logos created for you. Some of them are free while others cost money.</div>

This weekend I got two new Limited 5* cards in <b><i>Guardian Cross</i></b>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first one is <i>Mighty Valentine Specter</i> which I won in the Coliseum (PvP-battles):</div>

</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The second one is <i>Berith </i>which I got by logging in 15 days in a row.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Like I wrote earlier, Guardian Cross is a great and easy online trading card game for Android- and iOS-devices, made by the Japanese video game company Square-Enix.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love it very much since the illustrations are very beautiful, it's a Final Fantasy spin off, it reminds of Pokémon and it's very easy to play. If you're searching for a great game for your mobile phone, I highly reommend it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is an invitation code (sadly only for the iOS-version) to get you started: <b>DT47351</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the code you get a Super Rare card. I hope you'll enjoy the game as much as I do!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's a gameplay video of Guardian Cross:</div>

Another weekend and another game which Steam lets its users try for free. This time we get to try the fantasy games <i><b>The Witcher</b></i> and <b style="font-style: italic;">The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings</b>, based on the Polish author <i>Andrzej Sapkowki</i>'s series of fantasy short stories.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Normally I would try a Steam-game during the weekend and then review it in one of my "A weekend with..." posts, but this time I won't play any of the games. The reason is the large game size. The first game alone is about 16 GB which would approximately take 20 hours for me to download. And I can't just let my computer "go on" 24 hours a day, can I?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the official trailer of the first game:</div>

Så... Vad tycker ni? Min favoritlåt <i>Red</i> (som framfördes av gruppen Eko) gick inte vidare till final utan istället hamnade på åttonde plats. Egentligen tycker jag att den tredje deltävlingen i Göteborg är den svagaste hittills i årets Melodifestival.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Red var den enda låt som jag hejade på. Ledsen Shirley Clamp, men ditt bidrag i år är inte lika bra som <i>Min kärlek</i> (2004) eller <i>Att älska dig</i> (2005).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Och så humorn... Den är urusel. Om det inte vore för komikern Björn Gustafsson skulle jag inte orka titta igenom den alls.<br />
<br />
Jag är bara tvungen att lägga till detta inlägg med ett YouTube-klipp av <i>Att älska dig</i>.</div>

(less than 15 hours left)<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://www.gog.com/" target="_blank">GOG.com</a> is an online game store where players can buy old & classic games mostly from the 90s, like Duke Nukem 3D (1996), the King's Quest series (1984-1998) and The Incredible Machine (1993).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
This weekend, GOG (which is the abbreviation of <i>Good Old Games</i>), is offering the game <b style="font-style: italic;">Dungeon Keeper</b> (1997) for free! Dungeon Keeper also exists as a free-to-play mobile game for iOS and Android. But the mobile game has been heavily criticised because it's not faithful to the original and it uses too much micro-transactions. So if you want to play Dungeon Keeper as it was meant to be played, this is a golden opportunity to do so.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Since there are many people who want to get a free copy, you don't actually get a direct download link on GOG. After you have registered your copy, GOG will notify you when you can download it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But even if you (or I) don't manage to get Dungeon Keeper, I still recommend GOG. When you start an account at GOG the first time, you'll get some PC games for free. My favourite is the 1994-game <i>Beneath a Steel Sky</i> which I'm playing at the moment. The game is created by the company behind the famous Broken Sword-series.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
If you can't or don't find the classic game of your choice, you can always request it. If there are enough votes on your game, GOG will consider selling it. I think this is a great way to stay legal since it's difficult to know if abandonware is legal or not.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So hurry! You have less than 15 hours left to get your free copy of Dungeon Keeper! Get it now at <a href="http://www.gog.com/" target="_blank">GOG.com</a>!</div>

At last, after replaying all of the four <i>John Stewart Green Lantern Challenges</i> and completing the fifth and final one, I won a golden John Stewart Green Lantern card! Now that I have acquired it, I can always return to the in-game shop later to buy extra cards in order to enhance John. One extra John Stewart-card costs 165,000 Power Credits (the in-game currency). If I still had time to replay all of the challenges again, this time with a higher difficulty, I could have gotten one more card.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being a golden card, John Stewart is the strongest of all Green Lantern cards in <i style="font-weight: bold;">Injustice: Gods Among Us</i> for mobile phones. His second special attack - "Parallell Nature" - is a very powerful attack which is a combination of rapid swiping and aiming compared to other characters' special attacks (which are either activated by swiping, tapping or aiming on the touch screen).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If any of the characters in the player's team get very low health - they are protected by John's <i>Emergency Barrier </i>which makes them invulnarable for 8 seconds. This is very useful if both the opponent and the active hero/villain have low health. Sadly each character can only get benefit by the Emergency Barrier once per match.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If I have any complaints about the card, it would be that John Stewart isn't voiced by Phil LaMarr - his original voice actor from the Justice League animated series and the original console version of Injustice. Instead John is voiced by Adam Baldwin, the same actor who lends his voice to Green Lantern Hal Jordan.<br />

As some of you may have discovered last week, I've added <i><b>Tags / Etiketter</b></i> to the right of the blog. That, in order for you to browse through my posts easier and re-read the posts of your choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Tags / Etiketter" work like Categories. So during the weekend I've browsed through all of the posts and re-tagged them. You'll discover that many of the posts belong to more categories than one.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I believe I'll update "Tags / Etiketter" continuously since there are still some topics which I haven't brought up yet on the blog. Food for example.</div>

I found out about it during late Saturday, and after waiting more than 8 hours to download and install the game I finally got a chance to try it out - even if I could only play it for 1-2 hours.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In short, Borderlands 2 can be described as a FPS (= first person shooter) game with RPG-elements (= role playing game). 4 players can play together online in the story campaign.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Borderlands 2 takes place on a planet called Pandora, where a Vault (with alien technology) has been opened and a valuable mineral has been spread all over the planet as a result. The Hyperion Corporation, lead by the antagonist Handsome Jack, tries to find this mineral and "civilise" the savage planet with an iron fist. Many people travel to the planet in order to find the mineral, and they're hence called "Vault Hunters".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The story starts with four Vault Hunters travel on a train which gets destroyed by the Handsome Jack. Left for dead, the protagonists are found by a robot named Claptrap who decides to lead them to the city of Sanctuary. In the city, an anti-Hyperion resistance group is gathering to revolt against the terror of Handsome Jack. The voyage to Sanctuary isn't easy since the route is filled with bandits and mercenaries working for Handsome Jack, and monstrous beasts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The graphics are cell-shaded, so it feels like watching a cartoon. I don't know how to comment on the humour presented in the game, but the game - due to its violent content (among others) - is definitely not recommended for younger players (compared to <a href="http://lordgreenleaf.blogspot.se/2014/01/a-weekend-with-sanctum-2.html" target="_blank">Sanctum 2</a>). The ESRB gave it an <a href="http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=32333" target="_blank">M-rating</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similar to a MMORPG (= massive multiplayer online role playing game), the player can't really "die" during the missions. Once defeated, the player gets a chance to recover by defeating an opponent. If the player fails to do so, he/she will respawn at a spawn point spread across the level he/she is in.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Borderlands 2 offers the player a chance to explore Pandora, something which I appreciate a lot. But I'm not into games with M-ratings so I might not buy it for a while.<br />
<br />
Here is the "Doomsday" trailer of the game:<br />

Igår under Melodifestivalens andra deltävling gick Sanna Nielsen och gruppen Panetoz vidare till final, medan Martin Stenmarck och JEM gick till Andra Chansen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Personligen hade jag hoppats på att Martin Stenmarck skulle gå vidare till final. Tyvärr Panetoz, er låt "Efter solsken" är inget för mig. Men grattis ändå!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Angående programledarna tycker jag mer om deras presentation under denna deltävling än förra veckans. Jag hoppas att de fortsätter på detta sätt under resten av musiktävlingen.</div>

The Winter Olympics started yesterday, on February 7th 2014, in Sochi. Did you watch the Opening Ceremony? While the Ceremony was epic, one thing caught many viewers' attention, including mine:</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately I can't post any images from the Winter Olympics since I don't have the copyright and the permission to do so. Instead I'll use various YouTube-clips taken from the sporting event. There may be a risk that the video clip above will be removed from YouTube. I used another video before to show the stubborn Olympic ring, but that one was removed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

By the way, I earned $0.30 after visiting 1000 sites in total with <a href="http://www.easyhits4u.com/?ref=greenleaf871" target="_blank">EasyHits4U</a> yesterday. It's nothing really. It's just a fun bonus.</div>

As usual I participated in the game's Elite Coliseum last week. I got a B+ rating and won a Bronze Limited 5* card: <i><b>Great Impundulu</b></i>!</div>

Guardian Cross is one of the few free-to-play mobile games which I really like. I've played the game almost everyday since late 2012. I like it very much since it's easy to play and other players won't attack you unless you participate in the Coliseum (player vs player battles). Not only that, a few Final Fantasy bosses appear in the game as Guardians (the cards which you must catch and use during battles).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you're interested in Guardian Cross, here's my invitation code: <b>DT47351 </b>(iOS only)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The invitation code can only be used once when you create an account the first time (in order to play the game). <strong>Using the code will give you a super rare 4* card.</strong> I really recommend you to give Guardian Cross a chance. If you don't like it, you can always remove it easily.<br />

Rowling: Harry Potter should have married Hermione Granger?<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alright... It seems J.K. Rowling wanted Harry and Hermione to become a couple and get married at the end of the <i>Harry Potter</i> book series, according to the articles found on <a href="http://www.metro.se/noje/jk-rowling-fel-par-gifte-sig-i-harry-potter/EVHnbb!NgLVpZ95j56o/">Swedish Metro</a> and <a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2014/02/02/jk-rowling-harry-potter-should-have-married-hermione-granger">Toronto Sun</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To be honest with you, I still don't like how everything turned out in the end. Although Voldemort was finally destroyed in the final book, many characters who I loved throught the series never made it to the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the shipping... When I read <i><b>Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire</b></i>, I thought Draco Malfoy was harbouring secret feelings for Hermione. And when it later turned out that he wasn't as bad as people thought he was, I did think of him getting married with Hermione. That was until J.K. Rowling denied that theory.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What do you think? Should Harry have married Hermione instead of Ginny? I honestly don't know. Ginny deserves Harry, but I'm not satisfied with how the stories developed in the later books. They somehow felt rushed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's an interesting video with 101 reasons to why Harry and Hermione should be together. The video was made and uploaded on February 19th 2012, long before J.K. Rowling was interviewed by Emma Watson in the mentioned articles.<br />

Shortly after publishing my previous post about <a href="http://lordgreenleaf.blogspot.se/2014/02/i-have-to-restart-john-stewart-green.html">Green Lantern John Stewart</a>, I read a notice on <a href="http://www.metro.se/nyheter/philip-seymour-hoffman-dod/Hdznbb!F6PCoc0daxZXJXj72ZUXoQ/">Swedish Metro</a> that actor Philip Seymour Hoffman has passed away. At the moment there's very little information about the actor's death, only that he was found in his flat in New York City.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I must admit that I haven't seen many of his movies. The first time I saw him was in <i style="font-weight: bold;">Mission Impossible III</i> where he played the villain Owen Davian. The last time I saw him was in <i><b>The Hunger Games: Catching Fire</b></i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rest in peace Mr. Hoffman, and thank you very much for the interpretation of your movie characters!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the trailer to Mission Impossible III showing Owen Davian's (Philip Seymour Hoffman) threat against the protagonist Ethan Hunt:</div>
