Aaand I'm back in Norway. Again. I am the human yo-yo, and the Atlantic Ocean is my string. I'm staying put for over a month now, which feels like a luxury. A weekend at home! I can finally vacuum!
The trip was great, despite the mostly awful 'spring' (pft!) weather in New York. I wish I could have stayed another week, but work beckons, and the road to E3 is getting shorter by the day.
Dreamfall will have a sizeable presence at the show, and the game needs to look absolutely top notch. More on that later.
I promised to say a few words about
Monty Python's Spamalot, but I never got around to it, so here goes: The show was great, and I laughedalot. The first half stuck very close to the original movie's script - the movie being, of course,
Monty Python and the Holy Grail - but the second half was a bit more adventurous, and all the better for it. (After all, I've seen the movie a dozen times, and know the funnies by heart; there's only so much amusement you can get out of seeing the same sketches re-enacted on stage.) The spoofy musical bits were, for the most part, right on the mark, and the actors were suitable Pythonesque. It's absolutely worth catching, if you're into that sort of thing (musicals and Monty Python, that is).
On the negative side, they left out my favourite line from the movie: "On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place."
