Sitting here in the dark.

Managed to go a week without going outside!

Then I ran out of food.

Diablo 3

Looks like crap.

Well not exactly like crap, but why oh why do they need that WoW look?

I was already calling them highly unimaginative when they didn’t do something new with starcraft 2. With Diablo 3 they had every reason to steer away from cartoony things.

A large part of diablo was that it was always so dark and depressing. Crude and sharp with Lots of blood splatter. This new thing looks like a Warcraft RPG with more dungeons than usual.

These fan-made screenshot edits are doing a pretty good job fixing it. Doubt Blizzard will admit to getting it wrong and fixing it, but the modders could possibly manage it. Maybe it can be done with simple color filters! Maybe it can be done by retexturing! Maybe they invent real magic by the time it comes out and we can just enchant the game disks to make the game look better!

Gameplay wise the game looks pretty much like the good old Diablo. I feel that somewhere deep inside the old addictions are starting to wake from their deep sleep.

Blastwaavu

So the Blastwave domain apparently expired yesterday. I can still load the page, but yar.

Right now I am not completely sure if I can get the domain back. It was originally registered at another place and I don’t exactly have control over it. It’s complicated and I’d rather not explain.

There is this other domain where the page will be moved to if I am unable to recover the old domain.

In other news:
I am currently in the process of drawing alot. Random things, not blastwave (my god cant you just leave me alone?!). I am trying to imporve my technical skills somewhat. Also to learn humans at somepoint.

I’m trying to learn enough that I could draw almost everything I can think of when I’m randomly doodling. Not to reach perfection or anything, just raise the level a bit. Since I’m not looking to get hired for atleast another 3 years, I haven’t really been “drawing for the sake of learning”. But now I’m once again not satisfied by my sketches.

Those of you who don’t know, here is my deviantart gallery

Age of Conan

So I decided to try this thing. I played till level 15 and then my account was frozen. I found out the card I used to create the account coulnd’t actually be used to pay for the game… It just somehow took them 3 days to realize that. I was happy. I was feeling like I had wasted 49 euros on this game that wasn’t really any fun at all, then they just politely handed my money back. I got bored of the game sometime around level 4, and it didn’t seem to be getting better after that.

So I sort of got a free trial and wasn’t impressed. I’d suggest others to wait for somekind of a trial thing too. Maybe the game gets better later on, who knows. I mean it looks like it could have alot of potential.

Also I bought a EU version of the game and they wouldn’t let me play on US servers with it, which I really hoped no game would ever do again. They lose alot of points for that.

Random things!

I was at my parents place last four days. Cousins were there. We had a barbeque and got drunk.

Blastwave this week!

I like this.

Online shooters like halo and gears and unreal tournament should have ingame armor painting tools.

I played Kane & Lynch on pc. I mostly liked it. The story starts out pretty good but then it sort of blends into random shootouts and then really goes nowhere at the end. Gameplay has some serious issues but I enjoyed it. Seems like it wouldn’t work on the consoles at all. A movie seems like a good idea to me if they rewrite the overall story and define the characters slightly better. Bruce Willis would sort of fit the role of Kane, but then again not really. I might write more on this later when I’m bored!

I don’t know anything about binary star systems.

Also, is age of conan worth trying out?

Waaaablblblblbl

You know.

I think I miiiiight… be turning this page into a simple portfolio page at somepoint.

I don’t really have any use for a portfolio page, but I don’t really have any use for a blog either. I do so little that I don’t have anything to share with anyone. TGSA has a little news box where I can easily put my current thoughts, devart holds my newest pictures. Writing long posts about nothing isn’t really useful. Though I’m writing one now about nothing too. Guess it’s kinda fun in a way. And there’s always some people on the internet that have absolutely nothing better to do. Or they might have something better to do, they just don’t wanna do those things right now, have a little pause. Maybe this thing here just happens to some big words I don’t remember. Moving on.

Look here! I doodled this stuff up a while ago!

And here! It’s a bunny!

The Penny Arcade game has been pretty fun so far.

The story so far.

I got home from school today. And then I realized I forgot to buy GTA4. So I went to buy GTA4 from the gamestore that is just next to the school. I got home, I plugged in my xbox that had been un-used for about a month. I put the game in and waited for it to load. The game froze a bit into the first cutscene. I rebooted the console and this time I skipped the first cutscene and got to drive a car for about 2 seconds when the game froze again. I tried one more time, and the screen went white… then black. And now my xbox is flashing 3 red lights.

Soo um. GTA4 seemed pretty great.

TGSA a comic. Think “rip-off”. Back to the beginnig.

Im copying this from deviantart because im too lazy to type it again:

Not the old TGSA. A new weirder one! Bet you don’t even know of any old TGSA!

Blastwave is not dead, relax. Put the gun away. I’m planning on continuing it sometime around summer… with more than one update.

TGSA is a comic I started with Mr.Pulsar (uh… he’s a guy from the internets). It’s mostly a random thing where we pour our random ideas into. Sort of an archive of random ideas, if you will.

The link is here tgsa-comic.com

It might look like there’s characters in it and a story going on with the characters, but thats just some freaky optical illusion. Don’t worry about it. The thing is random.

And now that I have all your attention. If anyone out there would be willing to make a (rather simple) page design for it, it would be greatly appreciated. I might even pay you a bit for it… or send you whatever prints I have. Something. Just need a page design, nothing too fancy. And I don’t need the coding part, just a design. If interested you can contact me with questions or something.

You know its kinda funny. Straight back to “two guys talking” comics. But should be totally fun.

This is awesome

Messing with things.

So now there is up another theme made by someone. I found it somewhere on the internet. It had lots of weird things going on so I don’t know what all is there. If you see ads popping up or useless features, don’t worry about it. Lots of stuff is in the wrong place. The real navigation is at the bottom of the sidebar because of the way I have been using wordpress in the past.

Still hoping this is a temporary one. It’s better than the default theme. Though I think I don’t really care so I might just stick with this one.

As something completely random: Anyone know how to mod Crysis? I’m sort of looking for help. I’d like to be able to get random props from max into the editor. Sort of really not into reading tutorials.

hay like supar quicky reviews like

urggh, sorry.

I’ve played some games!

Burnout Paradise: Pretty fun game to waste time on. I havent played the burnout series much. The destruction is just really fake and doesn’t have that satisfaction in it. It makes me miss Carmageddon. And Flatout is better if you want to race. Burnout is kinda bland in all areas. And I’d rather take a menu that lets me choose which race to start instead of having to drive around so much. It’s fun in the beginning but when you have gone around the city 800 times it starts to be annoying. Really not fan of their artistic direction either. Somehow overly bright colors would seem to have made more sense, but instead they just blend it all out with filters and make it all look really dull. Also I have to point out the complete lack of a good camera angle. The default angle basically zooms at your car and you can’t see shit. You can achieve a good camera angle by pulling the camera up with your right thumbstick but doing this all the time is completely out of the question. But like said, it’s a fun game to have around when I’m bored and just wanna drive around a bit.

Devil May Cry 4: I’ve only played the demo of the first devil may cry. Thats it. So this was a completely new experience for me. A pretty fun game overall. I had fun with it. Played it on easy first (or ‘Human’ setting) because heard it gets hard at somepoint. Then I played it with the normal (or ‘demon hunter’) and got through it pretty ok. It really started kicking my arse towards the end and I am currently on the infamous mission 19. Haven’t really plugged in my xbox for a long time so I havent really tried beating it yet. I liked the weird arm (it could have used somekind of an explanation though) but in the end I prefer Dante. The game looks really great, mostly. There’s a part in the game where the shadows start looking REALLY ugly and blegh. Cutscenes are completely insane and weird, but very fun to look at. Forgot if I had something else to say. I like.
