Both are Dende.

The one on the right was made by my brother. He's not as good as I am.

Busmusan from memory.

Liten skogsmus det är ja', fast jag trollar inte så jättebra.
Nu trollar jag fram en rymdraket, och snart så är den klar för att ta ut på färd, och sedan sticker jag till vintergatans sköna värld.
Och i min rymdraket jag flyger till Afrikas sand.
Ställ dig i vattnet och svalka dina fötter, tag plats, tag plats, på vår Aqua-express.
Biljett, biljett, den löser du ganska lätt.
Vi ringlar hit och ringlar dit igenom världens hav, och när vi kommer hem igen, ja, då får du kliva av.

Model Lab and MySafety in cahoots - both of them frauds.

Model Lab. It was like in a movie. But not the kind you'd think. All underage children at our school received the same phone-call: "Do you want to be a model for a day? We travel all across Sweden and let normal people in on our industrial secrets. Making an appointment is free! You have no obligation to buy anything." I was sixteen or maybe seventeen. Me and a friend decided to go see what this Model Lab was like so we made an appointment. When the day arrived my friend never showed up, much to my dismay. The Model Lab told me to wait for her, otherwise they couldn't let me in. But when she didn't show up for another two hours they let me in anyways. The Model Lab then showed me some pictures they'd taken of other unfortunate souls (most of which were underage and probably even more gullible than I was back then). The single photographs cost 800 SEK apiece (in USD that would be between $Yikes - Egad). Not too eager to stand around hearing them list their prices until the universa collide I told them I had no money - after all there was no obligation to buy, so I had figured I could just go there and have fun with my friend. The Model Lab then explained that there was the expectation that I would buy at least one picture. You know, since putting make-up on people and photographing them actually is an expense. So much for no obligation to buy - they literally told me to go home. I guess I was too trusting - who would have expected "the fastest growing model agency of Sweden" (yeah, right) to be a shameless joker-paint posse? I was not the only one who was dissapointed. On top of not making their own appointments in time, they also are notorious for sloppy make-up, awful photographing and rude employees. But hey - who cares?! At least it's free. Well... Until you get there. I was fortunate - I got to keep my money. Others were less lucky.

Yes, Model Lab uses dirty tricks. But they are not the worst. Not by far. Some time after my clash with the make-up artists I received yet another phone-call. This time from a company called MySafety. They asked me if I wanted to buy a service that would give me my keys back did I ever lose them. I politely declined. I also asked the salesman where they got my number. From Model Lab. I had been a customer (bullshit) at Model Lab he explained. Turns out, they are "partners" and share their stalking-information with one another. I told him not to call me again. Thank you for taking your time, he said, as to not promise too much. The next week I got a letter from MySafety. It contained the very product I had said I didn't want. Enraged I read the letter that came with it. It looked a lot like a voucher. Fortunately it wasn't, just a "thank you for 'buying' our product"-note. I made a mental note to kill them all in their sleep. However they never asked me to pay for anything. Until after six months when they sent me another letter explaining that if I wanted I could renew my "contract". I threw it in the trash. According to the law, as far as I've understood, a company is not allowed to automatically renew a contract unless the customer has agreed to such. I hadn't even signed any contract. Turns out MySafety uses this shady technique - mailing people false vouchers - to make it look like the so called customers have agreed to things they really havn't. This practice is illegal in Sweden. I was never contacted by any government agency (the enforcement authority) for not paying the bills, supposedly because I never agreed to buying anything in the first place. Other "customers" however have been forced to pay ridiculous sums of money for a product they never agreed to buying.

But even though I thoroughly ignored them they called me again. To-day. A man named Elias*, whose desperation to sell me worthless shit only was overshadowed by his lack of will to live, told me I needed to prolong my six-month contract. I told him I wasn't using their service. He quickly tried to explain that if I lost my keys and a thief found them my material losses would not be covered by insurance. I told him I was not in charge of the house anyways since I live with my parents. He immediately excused himself and hung up. A quick visit to the website of my insurance company revealed that what he said was all lies. The insurance doesn't cover losses if you knowingly give your keys away to someone who turns out to be a thief. You will need to buy supplementary insurance anyways so you will get help replacing the locks on the door, but if someone enters your house forcibly or without permission they are always commiting a crime. Regardless. Googling on I also found out that MySafety has been in the red spot-light before. Over three hundred people have reported that the contractual terms of the company are horrible. The Swedish Consumer Ombudsman is suing MySafety, taking the case to Market Court. I'm reporting them to the Consumer Agency anyways. Because fuck them.

Another beautiful day in Zamunda (featuring carrots).

My brother (who helped me draw the a-w-e-s-o-m-e Sailor Moon picture) and I were playing Amnesia: The Dark Descent recently (not to be confused with Amnesia). We cooperated. I'm not very good at doing things quickly in games. Both of us thought that the game resembled Shivers in several ways. I wonder if that's common? I still think the latter is far more scary, but I guess it built up the tension in a different way. Shivers, that is. Whatever haunts the museum grounds, in my personal opinion, makes Slender look like it was made by Sanrio. Although my brother taunts me for thinking so. He thinks the game looks like it was made in MS Paint. Silly him. It's watercolours and photoshop. And FMV.

At first I thought I thought Shivers was more frightening because Amnesia: The Dark Descent is a more recent game and I had heard many more things aboout it, but the only thing I actually knew when buying it was that the game was "eerie and frightening" (not an actual quote). A lot of people made a huge point of it, so I suppose that made it feel less scary. There are more people you can relate to, wheras with Shivers you're completely alone (at least nowadays). I don't know anyone else who has a copy. When I got it I had only seen the advertisement in the booklet for King's Quest VII, so I had no expectations what so ever. When you are going to play a fearsome game that is most important. If you research a scary game before buying it, it becomes devoid of all tension. With Shivers I managed to avoid that effect. Every single time I play it I get strange dreams that feel like nightmares, only I'm not scared. I just feel wary and odd. Amnesia: The Dark Descent feels more like a laugh in comparison. Maybe I'm wrong though, maybe the scary parts are yet to be played. I'm not going to be unfair. And it did manage to make my tummy tingle like a cracker in birds.

I reccomend both, if I'm reliable enough to reccomend anything. Amnesia: The Dark Descent because it keeps you on your toes and Shivers because it's still true to the announcement in the trailer: It will scare you to death.

Figuratively speaking, anyways.
