Sting is the kind of artist with 10% songs that are amazing, and the rest are kind of boring. But if you gather those "10% songs" in one playlist...

Bruce Springsteen's Tracks II is surprisingly good when you want music to relax to. Perfect music when you want to wind down.

Robyn is the second best Swedish artist primarily singing in English - after Anna Ternheim. Yes, I hold the two of them in higher regard than ABBA, Lykke Li and First Aid Kit.

Totally digging Creedence Clearwater Revival. Sounds like Neil Young if he had been living in The Brill Building.

If Zara Larsson had been a tennis player she probably would have rushed the net all the time.

I'm surprised that Anna Ternheim doesn't have more followers on Spotify. She has a unique expression, that is both artistic and easily digested.

The best thing about being Swedish is the insane amount of great music in the Swedish language. If I had been born anywhere else I would have had to learn Swedish just so I could enjoy all this amazing music.

I had planned to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on release, but I started playing My Time At Sandrock one more time instead. If the game is better than Sandrock then it has to be good.

As most years I have not played any game from the current year, so who wins and who loses at The Game Awards is not that important to me.

Everyone is waiting for Skies of Arcadia Legends of course.
Nintendo released 7 GameCube games during the first six months of Switch 2's life.
I won't be satisfied with the GameCube offering on Switch 2 until the release of Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance.

As soon as Splatoon 4 is eventually out I'll buy one. Currently it's over-priced and there are no interesting games out.
I’ll be a little surprised if Nintendo actually can manufacture 25 million Switch 2 units before the end of March 2026.
I have no doubt Switch 2 is going to be the hottest item over the holidays.

Finally I’ve gotten my hands on this one! I have actually never played a Rival Schools game, but the artwork in this book is lovely of course, and it will be a nice addition to my Street Fighter book collection.

Okay, Xbox, while you’re already at it, doing crazy stuff – stop charging for online multiplayer. It’s absurd that I can play Forza Horizon 5 online on my PC but not on my Xbox Series X. "Play anywhere, except on your console."

Last Saturday I returned to Forza Horizon 5, and I have played it every day since then. I guess I'm not the only one to make that jump...

On one hand Forza Horizon 5 was very entertaining, on the other hand it was pale and safe. Let’s hope they really bring something new and exciting into the mix this time!
Microsoft announced Forza Horizon 6.
It will be located in Japan.
More information will be coming in 2026.
