Onlive

I know this isnt a extremely new topic but thought Id throw it in here anyway.

Onlive Press Conference     

Onlive is a service which will run the games server-side, allowing you to access them immideatly and without having to think about the specs you have on your computer.

If this will work as promised I think it will be quite a exiting turn of events in the gaming industry. I very much doubt nintendo would back down but I could definatly see onlive killing off xbox and playstation if they reaped the success they are aiming for, unless either of the two find something to add to their systems to make them more unique (such as the Wii system from Nintendo.)

Im not sure how well this will work. According to the press conference they assume that people within 1000 mile radius from the server will recieve ~1ms latency max. It sounds a bit too good to be true, but crossing my fingers -if it works, that would be a whole new level of awesome.

On the other hand, I doubt this will work well with MMO's, specially not RCE's. So my system will still need upgrading.

Their beta-testing is starting this summer, US only. Good luck Onlive!

My lil brute...

Ever so slightly hooked on MyBrute. My brute is named "Skamdoodle", has a puppy, loves pwnies and occationally makes little boys cry. 

Gotta love her.

Demigod

Im currently playing Demigod.

Mostly clichè characters (some cool and orignal though), no campaign, not much variety and a not entirely original concept (DoTA in a new form, really.) yet its mildly entertaining. 

But cant help but feel a little disappointed by it. I was expecting more. 
I know there will be more heroes to choose from in future patches, and probably other content aswell. But the game just feels like a demo, almost.

Graphics are nice though. My comp cant handle the lag all that well though, specially when there is a serious amount of soldiers on the map. 
I really need a new comp... stat.

Biggest HoF Ever!

14 207 ped Cornoanterion Young. During Champions League!

This is my biggest solo HoF ever in TT value.  And I was complaining today about all the things I had to pay for, about my fincial state. And then this hits, like sent from above!
Only oils and a limited tesla but see if Im complaining?

The fact that it came during CL ofc ment that I won that round. Which helps me out alot on the season scoreboard seeing as I missed the two first rounds. So thats jolly awesome too!

Stoikow was leading the competition (and sitting next to me) when it hit. So I knocked him down to second place, but he'll forgive me... I hope ;)

Entropia Poker

Well its said that Entropia isnt really gambling,
And I do agree. Well, you can make it gambling if you want it to be.

I love Texas Hold 'em.
I only discovered it a year ago or so. I mean, Ive always known about it, I just never played it properly. 

AngelHenx thought it would be a good idea to combine entropians with proper gambling. So he set up a weekly tournament on www.betway.com.

Wednesdays 19:00 MindArk time, 
10+1$ Buy-In
You find it under "Scheduled Tournaments - Special",
Name: Entropia Poker (of course!)
Password... well, only allowed for entropians ;) Check EntropiaForum!

Just did my first tournament yesterday. And well, I got a crap start. But it was pretty fun, still! Ill definatly be there next wednesday -if I can!

I survived Battle Royale!

Thats right. 

After a intense hour of alliances, backstabbing, planning and paranoia I stood as the sole survivor, after Diana Gluepot managed to blow herself up in the attempt of taking me out. 

And I did it without killing anyone.

To be fair, I didnt win it solo. I was in a alliance. With Da, from coat Killers. It seemed we both thought the other one was the natural selection for a alliance, and upon forming that alliance it seems we made a statement to people wanting to take us out. A simple statment: dont. 

The Story

It was a gloomy sunday night when we arrived to Zychion Citadel. Me and Da headed out to scout for a good place to start and defend, depending on what weapons we got. Unfortunally, I had only been given a lousy kitchenknife, a ClerickDagger 3A... Da, on the other hand had gotten 5 shots with a 250rocketlauncer, and a S30 pistol. The pistol wasnt much, but at least it was ranged.

So our weapons didnt correspond very well.

However we found that the overpass highway was the best place to stay. Concidering people only had one way in, and we had two ways out. It was a great spot for defending. -Not to mention we could launch rockets at anyone incoming.

Ido and Diana Gluepot joined our alliance. We quickly grew very wary on Diana -we knew she was holding some weapon which she didnt show us.  And she had shogun armor -which my blade would be pretty much useless against. Either way we let them stay.

The first attack on us came from Ozi and friends. Ozi, highly skilled with a ML-35 was a huge threat. But Da managed to launch some rockets in their faces -and they fled. 

When the speaker reported that only 8 of us was left, we decided to leave the overpass. And went down to battle the rest. Ido fell, but me, Diana and Da were left in final three. So we started chasing Diana, from each our side.
And them it went "BOOM".

Her secret was out. She had been holding rockets all along. She managed to kill Da and she had under 1 hp left herself. But she wasn't completely dead. All I'd have to do was touch her with my knife.

But I never got that far. After chasing her for a while, she ran into a building and tried to shoot me through some debris. But she hit the debris, and the rockets blew up in her face.

And I was standing there going HUH!?

So.. I won. 

That bastard.

Last time Stoik came visiting me here in Hammerfest he managed to score a 15k trooper, 1k trooper and a 16k cornoatarion.. the two big ones have unlimited blades in them (Dragons Breath and Tesla). 

This round he's managed to win MMOWC and today he also scored a 60 000 ped Lanorium ATH while mining on his own area. It placed him on #15 on the Mining ATH list. The other ATH he has is under "New Items" and was the Tesla he got when he came here last time. We also have #100 on the ATH list with the 28k Atrox Dominant we got together in May. Thats about to fall off the chart, so we better get a new one!

Seems my IP is very lucky... for him! Me on the other hand, havent gotten a solo uber since last summer.

Anyway, I think MindArk wants him to stay here... its a sign ;)

Been a while...

So here's a lil update :)

Gothenburg: Motörhead event.
Way to spend your money in early december. It cost a pretty penny to get there and back but the fun is just so worth it :) I had a great time, made new friends... and realized I do not have 20/20 vision. 
At the afterparty I almost bumped into a guy in a cowboyhat. I barely registered him. When I came back from the ladies room I realized everyone was flocking around that very same cowboyhat, which was securely placed on Lemmy's head. Whops.

Stoik came up for Christmas,
And he still havent left :)  Ive  had a  wonderful christmas, and its still my favorite time a year. This year Ive also had my first very own christmas tree. There's a milestone ;)
We spent the christmas eve at my moms though. My loot:  A new pulsar-watch, a 24" monitor (big change from my old 17"!), a pink portable harddrive, a new gaming watch and a set of rabbid figurines -everything a geeky girl can desire ;)

Our christmas have been ...eventful, to say the least.
First we helped Skalman out to get the #2 in Merry Mayhem event... That took quite a few hours, but it was such a great reward to see that we could do it, and that all the effords paid off.

And then Stoikow managed tobecome the new MMOWC Champion. Now that was a very nervous few hours from the semi finals to the end of the finals. Of course I knew he'd win. Lucky IP and all ;)

Otherwise we've been playing alot of.. Warcraft III (Bleach Wars and such), Diablo II, LOTR Conquest and even Worms. Ive been broke as can be so Entropia fell behind a little as my pedcard was turning blue of sorrow. 

And of course Ive been in bad shape,
But thats not really news now is it? ;P The good news though is Ive finally gotten the date for my operation to remove the gallbladder. 4th February, hopefully that problem will be eliminated after that date :)

Us at New Years Eve :)

Life is so complicated.

Studies in signs of being awfully tired:

Subject: Hanne

Test: Multitasking

Action: Make one cup of chocklate milk, boil water for cup-of-pasta, prepare cup-of-pasta.

Result:

First attempt: Put water on boil, open cup-of-pasta, get a glass for the chocklate milk, proceed to pour the cup's ingredients into the glass.
Realize what you've done just as you're about to pour milk over it.

Second Attempt: Get a new glass for Chocklate milk, Ready the Chocklate powder (O'Boy!), Find a new spoon, Open the lid to the O'boy-box, find a old spoon in the box thats been left there for future spooning. Put new spoon back. 
Realize you still need new spoon to stir around with. Get a new spoon.
Realize you probably will forget you have a old spoon in the O'boy-box next time aswell, and might aswell have left the box without spoon, and thus could in fact have used the old spoon for stirring too.

Conclution: I should buy ready made chocklate milk. And pasta and chocklate milk doesnt go together in the first place.
