Now that the first half a year of my time studying Game Design is over, I found it would be a good time to look back on the experience so far … and I realized that I had forgotten a major thing – the outcome of the first real challenge on the Game Design course. [...]
Name is still a placeholder. So, for now just “The VGNGGGwNN”. Not to be attempted to be pronounced. Ok, you may, but you might fail. Yeah. Alternatively “Primal Internet Fun”. It started with the following link was thrown out at the internal Facebook-page for the Game students at ITU: http://videogamena.me/ As fate would have it, [...]
As my World of Warcraft guild just recently killed the heroic raid-boss Magmaw (which is basically just a giant worm made out of fire and magma), I decided to do a news-post on the guild-page that gave reference to the awesome Worms. Easy connection to make, for two primary reasons: He’s a giant worm, and [...]
Recently, I have (once again) taken a great liking in fiddling about in old DOS games. Why? Short version: because they’re awesome. Long version: because they’re very awesome. No, honestly, they are. There simply are certain things that aren’t as great now as they used to be. One of those things, is music.
Some 90 days ago, I posted my previous post here. Some 90 days ago, I also started working seriously on my Bachelor’s project in Computer Science – which seemed to drain whatever leftover creativity and willingness to write anything in the creative end of the line.

And so, the 3 week programming-course I’d been working with is over. The report is written, the program compiled (and worked!) flawlessly – although the last compile was done 1½ hour before the actual exam – and the board that ran our program is returned. I’m actually going to miss the thing, it was rather [...]
Some time ago, I wrote a lengthy post about how World of Warcraft’s time-line would be affected by the upcoming expansion, Cataclysm, and specifically when the actually shattering of Azeroth would happen. At first, I held tight on the fact that it would take place before the entirety of the MMO’s time-line, but when the [...]
Earlier today, a fine game was discovered; Jam Legend. In essence, it’s just Guitar Hero. But, the really nice part about it is that it’s online, and played in your favorite internet browser. Besides that, you can challenge people in duels, have showdowns with different players competing at once, and much more. Naturally, there’s achievements [...]
PSA (Public Service Announcement)… Listen Up… Elephants are your friend, not your enemy. Do not be fooled by the media. Open your eyes and see for yourself, that these noble creatures deserve nothing but the greatest dignity and respect, humanity can possibly give them. Do not be fooled. Do not give in for yourself. Deep [...]
Basicly just Age of Conan – take 2. Naturally this new rig of mine can run the game, unlike the old one. The install was pretty flawless, and only required a small patch of ~700 MB. Not as bad as I expected considering how often I’ve heard the game being patched the latest few weeks. [...]
