Finska vinterkriget
Finska vinterkriget utkämpades från november 1939 till mars 1940. Sidorna som kämpade var Finlanad, och Ryssland som försökte invadera Finland. Kriget utkämpades i vintermiljö, och temperaturen kunde som lägst sjunka till -47 grader celsius! Striden utkämpades bland annat vid Mannerheim-linjen i Karelska näset. De finska soldaterna var underlägsna i mängd, men de var väldigt envisa och skickliga skyttar och skidare. När det var som kallast under kriget kunde en skjuten soldat frysa fast när han hade blivit skjuten och blodcirkulationen stlutade. Det sägs att kriget började den 26 november, med Skotten i Mainila, när finska soldater sköt fyra sovjetsoldater. I efterhand ses det som en sovjetisk provokation. Efter det öppnade sovjetiska trupper eld och gick över gränsen till finland, ledda av Semjon Timosjenko. Den finska sidans fältmarskalk var Gustaf Mannerheim. Bland de Finska soldaterna fanns Simo Häyhä, en prickskytt som kallades för Vita Döden, efter att han sköt ihjäl over fem hundra sovjeter. I början av kriget hade finland 200.000 man mot sovjetunionens 460.000. I slutskedet av striden hade Finland 250.000 man och Sovjetunionen hela 1000.000! Striden slutade. Efter hårt och envist motstånd tvingades Finland den 13 mars 1940 gå med på fred och göra landavträdelser (10 procent av sin yta), bland annat Karelska näset.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
To start, I´m going to introduce my system of reviewing games.
First, we have the five different sections:
Graphics: Rates the games visuals
Mechanics: Rates the controls, how the AI, etc works.
Length: How much can you do in the game?
Audio: The sounds of the game.
Fun-O-Meter: Is the game fun?
I´ll rate each thing with stars "*". Ten is max.
TES IV: Oblivion was developed by Bethesda game studios and published by Bethesda softworks and 2K Games. It is one of the best Action-RPGs that has ever been made, and even though its successor TES: V Skyrim featured more mechanics such as marriage, shouts and unique dungeons, Oblivion will always have a special place in my heart.
The first time I played Oblivion was at a friends house. It was on an Xbox 360 console. I was about eleven. I remember asking my mom if I could play the game, because it was for 16+, and my mom is sadly quite strict with age-restrictions (Not anymore, just check my steam library and you´ll see..), but she said yes, and I took the controller, and started creating my character. My friend told me everything I needed to know, and I chose race, class and messed around with facial settings. When I was done, I had created a Khajiit Agent, and I was good to go. I exited the boring sewers, and stepped out into the most fantastic game world I had ever experienced. I remember asking my friend what to do. He had simply answered: No idea!
When it comes to graphics, Oblivion is quite outdated. But when the game was in the beginning of creation, Oblivion was designed for consoles and pcs that weren´t even available at the time. But the game delivers. And really, if you are fussy about graphics, just type in nexusmods.com in your web browser and scroll around the numerous graphic mods.
The sounds of Oblivion are amazing. The music is calm and rythmic, and it contributes to the main atmosphere of the game. The ruffling of leaves, the sound of footsteps, celebrity voice actors - It is mighty.
The story of the game is quite ordinary, gates from an evil dimension are opening all over the country, an evil cult wants to take over the world and to stop that from happening, you must find the assassinated emperors lost heir. But hey, don´t feel restricted. Visit any town in the vast country of Cyrodiil, and just get a quest from a random villager. Or if you are the mercenary type, join the Fighters guild. Mage type? No problem, because there is a mages guild too. There´s even a Thieves guild with a very cool storyline. But if you prefer backstabbing and sharpshooting like me, kill an innocent citizen and get an invitation to join the Dark Brotherhood. All guilds are cool, but my favourites are definitely The Thieves Guild and The Dark Brotherhood. And I forgot to teell you that there is even a gladiator arena with a whole lot of enemies to fight, and through the storyline, you get to fight one, two and three enemies at the same time!
Pick locks, cook together potions and poisons, enchant your gear and break the law. It is all up to you! It is extremely fun to just play around in the game. Nothing seems out of place, it´s all thoroughly thought out. The massive amount of things to do makes this game impossibly large and wonderful. When you sleep on a floating inn, you wake up and realize that it is in the middle of the sea, overtaken by pirates. Buy a manor, suspiciously cheap, and you will soon discover it´s dark secrets. There´s even a quest in the Thieves guild when your goal is to steal an Elder Scroll. A freaking ELDER SCROLL!
The fighting system might not be perfect, with just hacking and slashing, but nevertheless, as I said before, MODS!
The radiant AI gives the people of Cyrodiil lots of fun functions, they will eat, sleep and go on missions on their on initiative. It is definitely one of the best single-player games ever.
The vast world of Cyrodiil offers a lot of places to discover, settlements, shrines, caves, and ancient Ayleid ruins. But sadly, the caves aren´t near unique, which actually gives a little minus to this otherwise awesome games. The planes of Oblivion can also be quite monotonous, but you don´t have time to think about that, you´ll probably be to busy fighting off hordes of scamps and daedras.
To round it up, Oblivion is unarguably the best game of Bethesda, and certainly one of the best single-player experiences ever.Two expansions have been released, Knights of the Nine and Shivering Isles, both of which expands your adventure in Cyrodiil. I will most probably review them too, when I have explored them to their limit.
I hope you have enjoyed this review, and if you read it because you are thinking about getting this amazing game, my only response is buy it.

Filmträff: Reflektion
Den 22:a april åkte jag till Mariehamn och deltog i ABF:s filmkurs. De som höll i kursen var riktigt duktiga och engagerade, de visste vad de gjorde och de gjorde det bra! Jag fick lära känna nya filmentusiaster, och lära mig mycket nytt om att göra film. Ljus, ljud, regi, filmning - allt. Jag lärde mig exakt vilka som är med i ett filmteam, och nästa gång vi träffas ska jag visa upp en av mina kortfilmer, Husvagnen. Jag hoppas att jag kan få tips på hur jag förbättrar filmen och hur jag förbättrar mina kunskaper!

Franska Revolutionen
Den
Franska revolutionen tog fart år 1789, när folket protesterade mot
den enväldiga kungen. Soldater var ständigt beredda att rycka ut,
så oroligt var det I frankrike. Kungen, Ludvig XVI, samlade samma år
generalständerna I Versailles, för att I ett sista försök att
försöka ställa ekonomin, som var urusla till rätta. Det
beslutades att höja skatterna. Priserna på mat gick upp, och folk
började oroa sig. Folket stormade bastiljen, av oro att vapnen som
fanns Inuti byggnaden skulle användas mot folket. Revolutionen hade
förutsetts av upplysningstidens filosofer Voltaire och Rosseaux. En
viktig punkt I revolutionen var när Frankrikes kung Ludvig XVI
giljotinerades. Den nya revolutionsregeringen hade avsatt Ludvig, som
inte hade varit en särskilt bra eller omtyckt kung. Ludvig XVI´s
sista ord var; Jag dör oskyldig till alla de brott som jag har
anklagats för. Jag förlåter dem som orsakar min död och jag ber
att det blod som ni nu skall se flyta aldrig ska krävas av
frankrike..” Ludvig XVI hann
aldrig avsluta mening innan giljotinbladet tog hans liv. Man säger
att Franska Revolutionen till sist fick ett slut när Napoleon
Bonaparte efter sin statskupp 1899 lät sig krönas till kejsare år
1804.
Jag kommer förmodligen skriva mer om revolutioner, och kanske lägga till något mer i detta inlägg.

Explore Filmmaking
Under en och en halv månads tid gjorde jag en gratis onlinekurs i filmregi. Det var kul att få lära sig nya saker om filmning, klippning, regi, ljud och ljus, med mera. Dessutom så fick man se en kortfilm varje vecka. De sex veckorna delades upp i
1: Introduction
2: Plot and theme
3:Setting, Lights.
4:Breaking down scenes
5:Storytelling, timesetting.
6:Music and sound.
De som höll i de olika veckorna hade alla jobbat med film och många hade till och med gjort större filmer. De kortfilmer som presenterades var välgjorda, intressanta och spännande. Jag uppskattade kursen för att jag är intresserad av att göra film, så det blev ett värdefullt tillägg!
