Oh October,
you are way too short.
And too close to November, that is close to December.
I fear I'm going to spend all my monies on games. Oh deary me. I guess my family and friends will get macaroni-art wrapped in toilet-paper for Christmas.
There's so much to do.
First of all, I've preordered Fallout 3 Game of The Year set, with all the add-ons. I've decided to play through it again now that I have a more proper PC. I hadn't played any of the add-ons anyway, so might as well just start all over again. Its so worth it. Due October 16th.
And Machinarium is also coming October 16th. It looks like a cute little platform, and certainly seem to suit the whole post-apocalyptic month theme I'm having. So that's down on my list.
And then I've preordered Borderlands as well. Now that's something Im really looking forward to. Due October 30th.
And then there's the deposits in Entropia...
And whatever else comes along. When was that Baldurs Gate sequel supposed to drop?
... Well, in all honesty Mars shouldn't be liberated should it? I mean finally us girls have the upper hand it seems, in controlling sexuality and using that feminine Venus-power to control them, buwhahaha...No seriously. I liberated Mars the other day by playing Red Faction: Guerilla. Its a fun game, Ill admit, but a bit repetitive. I gotta say its a blast to blow things up (fun pun, drumroll inserted.) even if destroying a whole EDF to itsy bitsy pieces means a bit of lag for my 8 gb ram/GTX 275 machine.
The missions were pretty much the same though. Save hostages, Raid EDF, Defend the bases, Transport vehicles (which I found out was a whole lot easier when taking "en spansk en", shortcuts.) and blow things up in creative ways. The only storyline was the main one, and I gotta say I missed having some personality in the rest of the missions, instead of being so generic.
When I finished the last mission I kind of hoped it would open up some fun and quirky missions, but no such luck. The only "personality" I really liked in RF:G was Jenkins. Cool dude.
Either way what I realized when I ended the game was that I really missed the humor and weirdness of Fallout 3. Missing another game when ending one, isn't really the ideal. But RF:G was worth the money, still.
Anyway, I think Ill play the F3 expansionpacks now, as I haven't done that yet.
Second Golden Age. The three words that is on every calypsian lips these days. Three words that have created a vortex of emotions, hope, agony, frustration, inspiration and so on.
Well into the SGA period we've experienced some very nice drops in the community. Improved FAP, improved 2870, Mod Merc, Suprmacy, Angel, Sentinel, a204 amp, DOA Foeripper and Loudmouth.. Items that for the last 4 years have been a faint dream for hunters, items that was soon established to have ceased to drop entirely. Until now, with modified stats and a SGA brand.
In spite of these amazing drops, people still get frustrated for not getting a piece of the cake. From what I can tell, a large portion of the community had a perception of SGA as if it would rain goodies on everyone. Personally, I never thought that was what it'd be about.
Its the possibility to loot, its the hope of looting, its the dream that seems a little more real. I know this sounds awfully cheesy but thats what it is to me.
Either way, you can hunt as normal, or you can chase the dream -none of these means you'll get a secured drop. I was around when the last MM was looted, and when DOA's and ML's still dropped. Back when you went hunting atrax because they looted ML or you went for Warrior for that missing angel harness from your set. That feeling have vanished completely since drops stopped, and people have instead been hunting mobs that is easy on the economy for them, with high MU drops of limited items, and that suits their armor and weapons.
Now people are ripped out of their old hunting routine to chase those dreams again. At expense of their eco, maybe - and that includes a bucket of frustration.
AHOY!
Well Ive been taking some time off my spidercamping in Entropia since my RSI got really bad after a while. I knew it would happen as I pushed myself way too hard, hunting 10-12 hours a day nonstop. That just doesnt work with me.
I recieved a beta invite to Heroes of Newerth, which is pretty much DoTA in new gfx. Its alot easier on my fingers so Ive been spending some time there. Which have lead to a revelation:
....I really suck at RTS.
Maybe its all the things going on or maybe its because I just cant seem to see what is going on at the map when it happens. I get confused, like someone just put a stun spell on me irl.
"Øøøøh, now what. Oh Im dead"
I gotta say Im a whole lot better in Bleach Wars (W3) then DoTA but Ive not played much DoTA either so maybe it'll come with time. Right now I spend too much time figuring out items, spells and what combos work, and what to watch out for in the other chars. Anyway, I enjoy it, its still amusing.
For me that is. For the DoTA geeks that comes into the noob servers and scream at us who is still learning, it seems unamusing. But honestly, get a life -dont come to the noob servers if you cant handle people making mistakes. And get a haircut.
Oberon Nightseer showed me a neat little trick, where I managed to climb the ship in the Newcomer Arrival Zone (thanks for the help!) I felt like the Queen of the world up there!
Here's some cool pics:
