Ingenting can stoppa oss

 To have the feeling is something that is more or less always important. With that feeling something might end up or look like more than just something. To get the feeling when you dance is a good way to express something instead of just moving. To get the feeling from the theme song of your home country is a good start in doing a proper victory dance. To get the feeling out of music not really in your feeling genre is a feeling in itself. With the help of hearing this tune every team the Swedish icehockey team a feeling for this tune was lit and that spark became this dance.


Shuffle around the world

 Ever since travel became more and more doable, the urge to continue on until we reach the same spot again has lived on. The will to go around the world is not only something explorers have these days, it is shared by millions of people. Most of us just dream of it and that might be the best part. We might enjoy it in some extent by seeing a movie or reading a book in our homes. To be able to glide one lap around the world on your soles is something that takes preparation, maybe as much as doing the trip for real. One thing that makes a big difference between the travel and the dance, is that you cannot be sure when departure takes hold when dancing. Sometimes that feeling of going all the way hits you and you got to get the right song going.


Blaster Master

 Blaster Master Blaster Master was one of those early games that made me be in the middle of a gaming session. These kind of sittings where rare and more or less ended the same place but still had their charm. This is one of the games I got stuck in really fast as a kid, finding the way was hard. The bosses also took lots of life, but being lost has its hurts. Blaster Master was parked before the millennium considered something I would never complete. It was not even touched in the years after the millennium gaming era either due to the trauma. About 20 years after getting the game I decided to give it my all to complete it. One thing that helped a lot is controlling with a stick instead of pad. Conveniently I had the NES Advantage in my possession, it is actually a gift from my grand dad not seeing much use until now. I started doing test runs on emulator with Hori Fightstick. After learning how to defeat bosses a run to the finish was started. Everything went as planned until one boss fight had to be done without the rehearsed tactics. In some strange way that went good anyway and after that a spark of hope to make it was lit. I will not go into details about this because I intend to keep things brief. But it was kind of a miracle in a way completing this game that day. Also sort of emotional to have such help of the joystick. Something I still remember how glad I was to get on my birthday as a kid. I give bragging rights to all how have finished Blaster Master, however you have to take out the bosses without the pause grenade trick, which I did not use and find lame.


Shuffle (Dance)

To shuffle in order to express rather than to impress is a good way to learn and become one with the dance style. This way of seeing it might be a bit hard to grasp in the beginning, when your feet refuses to obey. But if the feeling is not there you might ending up just moving your feet, not having your personal touch to the moves. To dance in order to express might be achieved in many ways. You could use that favorite song of yours or just try to be grateful about having a functional body. When in the midst of dancing to express you might feel that the dance itself moves your feet best.


Player vs. 5 Computers

After years of attempts I finally cleared 4 Computer players at Gold Separates East from West. The urge of defeating 5 of them hit me while clearing of 4 Computers. It did not seem that delusional to take on this, the whole map and setup has a snowball effect over it. When I do good I might roll over some more opponents. Clearing of one more opponent required having a more steady mid game and securing some gold assets. The achievement of clearing 4 Computers back in 2005 is now both replicated and beaten which feels very good.
