Stuff!

Didn't have much access to the internet in the last 2 days and I didn't have a chance to write a new post. But worry do not, because here it is! Some stuff happened recently, first of all, I passed LIMBO and I think the game is simply fantastic, playing it is a must for everyone. On a related sidenote, I got a email from humblebundle that they have added 3 more games to their fifth edition, among them there's Super Meat Boy, which is the next game I'm going to check out since it has a cool 8bit soundtrack that I listened to while working on pixelbeat. I'll write some more about it after I try it.

Yesterday, there was a one map: The Longest Yard (dm17) quakelive tourney going on. I wanted to signup for it, but because of all the mess with organization, I gave up on it. Apparently it was kind of successful. Maximzr, the best dm17 player, won the final game against noresz (2:1). I might signup for the next tourney, if they'll hold one. Anyway, I have to find out if any of the players made some impressive frags.
Speaking of frags, I watched all my demos for my next movie project. I found some really nice commands in wolfcamql that speed up watching demos.

• fragforward - which playbacks only frags (5 seconds before the frag and ~3 seconds after it) 
• seekclock - which allows you to jump to any part of the demo (seekclock minutes:seconds)

With these two commands I can go through demos much, muuuch faster. I might start working on this new project soon. With all the experience from my past projects, I make movies faster, and faster. So yeah, expect a new movie this summer.

Humble bundle 5!

If anyone isn't familiar with HumbleBundle, it's a pack of games made by independed developers. To get it, you can pay what you want for it, but if you pay more than the average, you get an extra game. Some of the cash goes to charity, for more info check out their site. Anyway, this is the first humblebundle I purchased myself. I was tempted about buying the previous ones, but in the end I gave up on them.

This time the games listed were pretty awesome. I found Limbo especially interesting, and it's the only game I checked out so far. It's a side scrolling adventure/puzzle game. It's dark and eerie and at times it's quite gruesome. Especially since there's no health bar and thus all the dangers that await you are lethal. Luckily enough for all the casual gamers, after dying you just reappear a little behind the obstacle that killed you. I played it for quite a while now and I love it. My girlfriend likes it too:)

Other than limbo, there are some other games that also seem to be very interesting.. I'll post more once I check them out. That might take a while since I'm busy with stuff for university, this semester is about to end and I'm still due with some projects and reports. Yikes!
