Bad Company 2 Teething Problems

There’s this shiny new shooter game thingy, Battlefield Bad Company 2. It’s a really nice game and does oh so many things right. This, however, is not a game review. It is merely a rant about how bad the game’s launch goes.
There are quite a few problems that, for me, make it nearly impossible to [...]

Ubisoft DRM Already Cracked

As expected, there has been a zero-day exploit for Ubisoft’s new shiny DRM (see my last post), in the newly released game Silent Hunter 5.
Well, it was not totally zero-day, since it took slightly more than 24 hours, apparently. Still, indeed it is now the case that the only ones suffering from the whole “you [...]

PC: The Platform with Rampant DRM

Yeah, it’s horrible. DRM is rampant on the PC.
Most recent example: Ubisoft. There is a good article on Rock Paper Shotgun about this. What they have announced to do is the following: With every future Ubisoft game, whether it’s single player or multiplayer, online or offline, boxed with a CD or delivered via download, you [...]

Upcoming Indie Game: Natural Selection 2

I just saw that Natural Selection gets a sequel: Natural Selection 2. A hybrid of first-person shooty stuff and real-time strategy game — reminescent of good old Sacrifice (a very underrated gem), at least as far as I can tell.
Now this alone might not have been news-worthy, particularly since it’ll take some more time before [...]

Chaos in the Old World: Demons

My apologies in advance for the somewhat bad-quality pictures – my camera is not that awesome. I’m sure you’ll notice the color bleed from the minis [...]

Chaos in the Old World: Cultists

I have this new board game, Chaos in the Old World. And even though I still haven’t painted the last ones of my Doom demons, I started painting stuff for this one, for relaxing between sprees of working or learning.
The cultists are already done:
I’ll upload the pictures to Board Game Geek as well of course. [...]

I’ll Be Back

This blog here was quiet for quite some time now. I plan to write again, now that my diploma thesis is finished – it’s with the Professor now. I will most probably publish it here, too. Examns are incoming in March, finally, after way more than enough time studying. And, we’re getting a baby, yay [...]
