Long time no do xF

Yes, it's about time for some more serious blog entry. I can't wait for Starcraft2. It's close, you can feel it in the air. I pity that the Terra-tron was just a joke, it would fit that universe quite much. I mean, how cool would that be to have a transformer made of the WHOLE BASE! Ah well, it will be in the editor. Oh, and the next battle report is up. It's about 650mb, but the last one was class and in this one I could have a good look at the Zerg. Right now I'm mostly playing Rise of Legends. The game's world is very original, and that's a huge plus. You have three factions: the Vinci, the Alins and the Cuotzls. The Vinci are highly based on the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci and generally the reneissance Italy. They have many strange inventions, like the mechanical people(you can see them in the intro which I'll post quite soon). The Alins are base on the arabiac myths, they possess sand dragons, genies, ifrits, glass golems(also seen in the intro). I did not yet play as the Cuotzls, but they're supposed to be based on the....Aztecs and aliens :D

Happy Easter everyone!

Ah finally, the stupid school is over again. I mean it's not like I think it's totally stupid(because I like quite many subjects and I know that they are useful) but everybody deserves a break from time time. I'm going over to my grandmother so I won't be catchable from Friday till Tuesday. Wish you a safe and happy Easter everybody :)

What's on?

I finally finished reading the ''Blood Angels Omnibus''. Great book, very long but it's a great introduction to the chapter. Now I have to read Hamlet for school...eh... Fortunately I have two weeks off now so maybe I'll be able to start ''Starcraft: I, Mengsk''. I don't have it yet, but it's supposed to come next week. What have I been playing? A little bit of "Red Alert: A Path Beyond" when I was pissed at all my strategy games. It also inspired me to play the Red Alert 3 mod for C'N'C Generals, which is great. I actually like it better than the official Red Alert 3. I also played Dawn of War: The Dark Crusade and DoW2 beta. Now I'm mostly playing as Eldar, their voices are much better than in DoW1 (where they sound as if they had no balls), they remind me of the Protoss so much. I can't wait till I'll manage to get my password back to Sacred2 and finally play it online with my cousin. Until then...

Dawn of War 2 beta!!!

I have recently downloaded a DoW2 multiplayer beta. Unfortunately, it only works on medium graphics on my computer. Ah well. Nevertheless, I played it on wednesday for....12 minutes! Yep, that's how long I managed to survive. In DoW2 there are only 4 races (in compare to Soulstorm, which left us with 9, it's not a lot): Space Marines, Orks, Eldar and Tyranids. I knew that I was going to play as Space Marines right from the beginning. That's how my friend introduced me to Warhammer40k: by telling me stories about the Blood Angels, his(and now mine as well) favourite chapter. I only had a brief look at the Tyranids. Yuk! Just like Zergs in Starcraft. And what do you do with the Zergs? You mash 'em! So, I took the Blood Angels chapter of the Space Marines and a Force Commander as a hero. I knew I'm a noob and that I'm going to be off battlefield real quickly. But I was kind of shocked because DoW2 is much different than DoW1 in gameplay. You don't build a base. You only buy upgrades and units in the HQ and then you go straight to battle. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to get over any strategic point or generator. At the end of the game, when I was losing all power, I decided to rush on my enemy with my scouts with shotguns. They were bloody hammered. If that was not enough, that robot of the Eldar started playing with my scouts, throwing poor lads around. After that, I lost all power as a consequence of having no generators and lost the game :( Right now I'm looking for some guides over the net xD

what's for playing

It has been a while since I last posted something...hmm...I have both of the campaigns finished, they do need balancing and some polishing (especially Twisted Destiny), but I hope they're alright and will give Starcraft players some more fun than just ''destroy everything on the map" campaigns. What am I playing right now? Good old Heroes of Might and Magic IV mostly (yea, yea, I know everybody thinks that this is the worst one, but I myself think it's way better than HOMM3), campaign 'Price of Peace', as the forces of Order. It's absolutely lovely. I mean, the story of a queen which starts as a too loud speaking asylum seeker, doesn't want to be a queen at all and above all else believes in justice. I have also downloaded an mmorpg Rohan: Blood Feud. Didn't play it too much, the graphics doesn't look to good, but maybe it'll suck me sooner or later... probably sooner, because 'Price of Peace' is ending, and I don't want to start a different campaign so that I won't get bored with HOMM4 too quickly xDD

problems gaming and more problems ;(

So on the Saturday evening I sat down at my dad's old laptop, happy to test my campaign for the Black Sun mod. And first mission played really well. But the sunkens ans spores didnt shoot :( and then, when i went to the second mission, it crushed after building a probe ;(((. This will greatly slow down the process not only of releasing the campaign for the Black Sun, but also for our new mod, Twisted Destiny. as if that wasnt enough, I bought Sacred2 Fallen Angel to play online with my cousin. He's gonna play as the temple guardian, while I'll be a dryad(bow and arrows). again, slows down the progress...

I finally managed to get some time for that blog. Workin on a campaign for starcraft for a mod twisted destiny. the name might change, but it probably won't considering the creativity of the team in making up names...well, I cant really concentrate on the campaign, the sql is tough for 16 year olds+ in Poland, also I find it hard to stop playing Warrock, it's so cool...
