1. Borderlands 2 2. Mass Effect 3 3. Far Cry 3 Honorable mentions go to Hitman Absolution, Torchlight II, The Walking Dead and Dishonored. XCOM: Enemy Unknown deserves to be mentioned as well, I guess. All in all, a very good year for video games.

There seems to be a misconception here that diamonds are relatively common. As someone who has worked with diamond prospecting, I can guarantee you that this is not entirely truthful. Sure, there are other gemstones that are rarer, such as rubies, but diamonds aren't common by any measure...

First person Diablo with guns. On acid. In SPACE!

I haven't heard anything this funny since... But in all seriousness, the review in question is either an excellent practical joke or simply narrow minded. I don't care if you like Borderlands 1 & 2 or if you think the single-player campaign is tedious and boring, but I would like a review...

Tromsø next March would be an excellent time and place for seeing Northern Lights. Unless I'm very much mistaken, this year marks the final year of an 11 year cycle with regards to solar activity, i.e. the year of peak activity, and as a result the northern lights will be stronger and more...

Studying for the last exam of the semester now myself (it's tomorrow), and for the last week or so I've done roughly 10 hours per day. I generally spend an hour reading, and then take a 30 minute break to play a round of BF3, get something to eat or do something else, and then return to reading...

Not an annual fee. If you play the game and plan on getting the DLC's in any case (and can afford to pay the lump sum for all of them at once) then it equates to a little money saved and some shiney extra stuff. As far as queue priority for Premium members go, that only applies to when there is...

"In the Court of the Crimson King" by King Crimson would be a good fit. As far as Pink Floyd is concerned I much prefer "Wish You Were Here" to the Dark Side of the Moon album, but it's close. Saw the latter in concert (with Roger Waters). But on the other hand, I might say Porcupine Tree with...

When I was a kid I used to remove the yoke of a boiled egg cut in halves and replace it with raspberry jam. It lacks bacon, and thus isn't real food, but as far as I remember it wasn't half bad.

Yes, it is. But it is of little importance - if this continues Norwegians will soon be measuring their wealth in kilos.

Fixed that for you :) Prices in Norway are generally high, and while I don't recall cucumbers being atrociously expensive (everything is relative, I guess), they do adhear to the EU rules on length and curvature. See, another joke! EU guidelines for the shape of cucumbers, that is.

Due to high import taxes on farm products to keep the nations farmers in work, most milk-based products are produced locally. To be honest, with the exception of foreign cheeses, I've never seen a foreign milk-based product in a Norwegian shop. Your argument holds true for most of the other food...

The idea behind the diet is to reduce intake of carbs in favour of protein and fat, and thereby revert to a diet similar to what humans ate during the Stone Age to achieve weight loss. Due to the popularity of the diet (who wouldn't want to live on eggs and bacon?), butter is now in short...

Google translate works terribad with Norwegian, and results in a mostly illegible ramble when used. Butter is generally translated as 'lard', expensive becomes 'animal' etc. Good luck with the peanut butter shortage, that would be devastating for my diet.

2011 will forever be remembered by Norwegians as the year without butter. Due to the increased popularity of the low-carb diet, Norwegian supermarkets and grocery stores are experiencing a nation wide butter shortage. This has been headlining news here in Norway for quite a few weeks now...
