voyage to mars

  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." 
Comments:
I think my favourite MPQHG line would have to be "Message for you, sir"...

(We have real spring weather in Norway now, so why go to NY? Or is Oslo still steeped in winter...? ;o))

My favorite line is, "Listen -- strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony."
 
"Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you. If I went 'round saying I was Emperor, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away."

The whole exchange between Dennis (Palin) and King Arthur is pure genious.
 
I bet the journalists at E3 will be extremely lucky to have access to Dreamfall teasers, juicy details, and perhaps even a demo....but what about us? What about your fans that have been waiting for so long....when will we receive a demo ? :D
 
"What, is your favorite colour?"
"Blue! No wait, Yelloooooooooooo"
"Heh Heh Heh"
