I am having my first beer, meeting my first swede -- LethalWiz -- who exceeded my expectations. I expected a scrawny short thin LG hamster. Instead I met some dude with half a goatee and an American accent, who repeatedly offers to carry my bags. His LG is probably stronger than his arms, though. Which reminds me: I will also be going to QHLan, and there I want to conduct a "flash Lightning Gun Championship", where the contestant has a small amount of tries against the LGC2 frogbot. LethalWiz would have a chance, but if interceptor shows up it will be tough to beat him. Especially now that sfinx has bested interceptor's crazy 11k score, a feat I thought to be impossible. That's in the future though; currently i hope the phase of lugging my [bleep] around will stop, and the LAN will begin. Soon, I will meet bps, eta and the favorite to win it all: reppie.

LethalWiz is currently overloading my brain with who is the favorite: locust or reppie. Whoever it is, it will probably be one of the main highlight matchups. But there is quite a number of competent players in the player pool that I can guarantee exciting matches during the entire playoff bracket. And this LAN is also a great prelude to QHLan that will commence in a month.

In other news, I must say that Swedish beer is: good. The rest is very much like the states, at least New York, but without the tall buildings and the really fat people. The city layout is even similar, with a fusion of islands and mainland. What is the experience of someone traveling a long way to a LAN? Excrutiating: so far I have probably spent more on coffee and on-demand wifi than I have for the entire plane ticket. Ok, that is exaggeration, but it takes a lot of will power to do something like this, and in the next couple of days I will know if it is worth it. So far it is, because Sweden is great.
