"All i know is my guts says maybe."
Real Life
Currently playing: Resident Evil 4, Super Mario Galaxy
OK, it's time to try to write something about me.
Well, my real name is Daniel and i live in a small town in northern Europe with my girlfriend and our dog. I work as a technician at a small media company doing sound editing, filming and stuff like that.
I've been reading comics since four, started with Donald Duck comics and soon began to read Hulk and Fantastic Four, and later most of Marvels stuff.
People here often asks me why i contribute to comicvine so much, and what my goals are. The answers are because i still love comics and think it's really a underrated form of storytelling medium, i have no particular goals, i just do it because it's fun. Also i had plans for making a site like this on my own, having collected stuff for a couple of years, but i realized my site-making skills were lacking, so i decided to begin contributing here instead.
Other than comics my main interest is video games, having recently bought a Wii to play with, so i'm a bit of a nerd, haha. I've been a gamer since the NES, my first games were Ice Climber and Zelda.
My fav TV shows are That 70's Show, Futurama, Simpsons and South Park.
What else? I don't smoke, drink alcohol or use any drugs aside from coffee. I was on my way to become an alcoholic, and my life was heading in the wrong direction before i managed to straighten it up a bit, so it's for the best to stay away completely. I am also an atheist.
Will write more if i can think of anything.

I've recently been playing a lot of Audiosurf, http://www.audio-surf.com/ The gameplay reminds of Tetris in the sense that it takes 5 seconds to learn and a lifetime to master. The easiest mode works in the way that you pick any mp3 song from your hard drive, the game builds a track from it and then you race a spaceship on the music track while it plays and you collect colored blocks while trying to avoid grey blocks. When you're done the game checks if someone else has played the same track and uploads your highscore. Really simple. And of course this game will have the greatest soundtrack evar since you pick your own songs. http://www.maxkiesler.com/images/uploads/audiosurf.png

New X-Men #38: The Quest for Magik - Part 1 (of 4)
The Quest for Magik begins with a bang, all the students except Hellion and Surge ends up in Limbo, abducted by Belasco who is Super-Pissed because his pet Magik is missing. She's actually been dead for a couple of years, but Belasco doesn't know that and furthermore he smells her on some of the students who encountered her in an altered reality (House of M), don't ask me how that works. It's less confusing in the comic...
Anyway we get to see all the current students, although many only has a single panel appearance, we get to see Loa using her powers for the first time and we get to know Nezhno's codename and super-power, though he doesn't use them in this issue.
The kids end up in two groups, one group is held captive by Belasco and company. The second group who are Rockslide, Anole, Blindfold, Wolf Cub, Pixie and Match end up in some other place surrounded by demons. They turn to Rockslide for leadership as he is the only 'New X-Man' in that group, but he doesn't really know what to do, so Anole takes charge before... [spoiler]. It will be interresting to see where this developes in the future.
The art by Skottie Young is quite good, a bit too cartoony in some places, but not as much as his usual stuff. Particulary his Rockslide looks good. The writers have a really good grasp of the characters, Blindfolds awkward pattern of speech, Mercury's reaction to being held captive again and Rockslide continues to have some really funny lines. However the line spoken by X-23 to Trance seems like it would better fit Prodigy or anyone else.
New X-Men is better than ever, and the writers have said that no students will die during this arc so no more dead favourites hopefully, altough one kid get his/her heart ripped out in this issue. Figuratively or literally? Read it yourself.
Exiles #90: Enemies of the Stars part 1 (of 5) Fresh Blood
Chris Claremont's first Exiles issue. It was better than i thought, but it has some inconsistencys. The storytelling was a bit hard to understand at places too, especially the last pages - Why would Sabretooth lunge at Psylocke like a maniac if he wants to say 'Hello and welcome to the team' and wasn't he critically injured the previous page? Also they showed the Panoptichron from the outside when they stated in Exiles (71?) that it has no outide. And Heather is a mutant now?
I'll give it 2 blorts of 5, it's not too bad but could've been better, great art as usual by Paul Pelletier.
