“Debug the World” launched
Just a short note about a very awesome thing. A very good friend of mine had this great idea: Fact, the world has many problems. Fact, many of these problems have really simple solutions. Problem, these solutions are usually only simple for people who don’t even know that the problem exists in the first place. [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Chaos in the Old World: Demons
Yay, it’s done. Chaos in the Old World is fully painted now – in other words, the minis don’t look completely out of place on the awesome game board anymore. 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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
