    [prototype]

    By Vezok's Friend,

    [I love it ^^ It's as if somebody took a game like GTA and put on Godmode and forgot to turn it off.

    Aaaand it is great for getting rid of stress, since you literally can take on the whole world (well, Manhattan at least.)


    PS: I tried to find the hotel I was staying in there back in 07 in the game by searching around time-square but couldn't find it...

    PPS: The awesome factor is multiplied by 9000 since the protagonist wears a hoody, and we all know how awesome heroes with hoodies are since AC.]

    Arnie is getting his own Cartoon now? Nice! The world kinda needs a classic action hero these days, even if he is out of his prime and animated. XD
     
    Back on topic: I have returned from my vacation. In fact it has been over for a week now but I simply haven't found the time to talk about what's going on at the moment. Up until now.
    March is one of the coolest months of the year, traditionally. It used to be the month when the new Bionicle sets would be available everywhere over here too. But it is also the months new Videogames hit the market, here and internationally.
    And when Crysis2 and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood both arrive within the same week and both in the form of pre-ordered special editions, you can bet there are bound to be some sleepless nights.
    I already have a reputation as a Crysis/AC/ME fanboy in my college. And Crysis 2 did nothing to ease that. Meaning it is a darn good game!
    There are some downsides, as there are to anything.
    As for AC:B, I haven't played it yet, though it is just waiting. I decided to go back to the start and replay the whole AC story, starting with the first game again and then working my way up to Brotherhood. Just like we're all prolly going to reread Harry Potter before Summer, eh?
     
    College has picked up speed after the first semester went by relatively easily, except for that one paper we had to write near the end. (Still don't have the grade for that, but our profs tend to take things slow.)
    But the thing is, after we've successfully put together a point&click adventure last semester which earned the whole course a straight A, we've moved on to smaller teams that will work on a 2D game this semester.
    I am involved in a very motivated and quite funky group and we're making good progress. My job is to design the villains for our game and I have come up with a few nice concepts too.
    This also means I now have some experience concerning the process of designing a game. And it is a complex one.
    So the next time you feel like the Designers of a game we're deliberately messing up a game you like or you were unhappy about something, remember that it is a HUGE workload done by a limited number of people working very close to a schedule and as much as they want to make the best game possible, not every idea works out.
    Now this project is mostly done in the afternoon and our free time. But classes are fun too. We've begun with small-time programming and we've been taught how to make a small ball bounce around in a window. It was fun and I can see how some people love putting objects into motion with the power of math and words.
     
     
    In addition to all the game-playing and game-designing I am still working on my personal art and I am happy to announce that with my return I have decided to start drawing a small web-comic with hopefully one issue a week. So far five of them are sketched out, but without a website I can not really release them yet. However I might upload them on maj until that gets resolved.
    I will not, however, link to it anywhere here on BZP as it will deal with topics that go beyond what is allowed here. It is not an adult comic though and the cast will feature a man-shark and LK's cat.
    As for my serious art, I have done a few sketches the last few weeks but most of my time has gone into a painting that was supposed to be done before the holiday.
     
    Where I've been? I was off skiing in Austria with my parents and their friends. We've had the most amazing weather and I will definitely post a picture or two once I find time to upload them.
     
    So, now that I am back I'll take up the usual business. Most likely I'll hang around Artwork I and of course the BZPRPG. I wouldn't want EW, Friar and the others have all the fun by themselves now, right?
    So, I'll see you around and I hope you are all safe, the world's quite busy these days.
     
    Keep cool everybody!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    "Boat."
     
    "Boat" is one of the big exhibitions here...with loads of people coming to see it.
     
    So me and my parents went there today.
     
    And I saw two of divings big pioneers, Hans Hass and his wife Lotte.
     
    But there were some more famous people there.
     
    Including the captain and my skipper.
     
    But what does that have to do with ships ye might ask.
     
    Arr mate, there be ships there ^^
     
    I didn't get to see many since we didn't have much time.
     
    But there was this little beauty here that caught my eye.
     
    But what would an exhibition of that sort be without buying some stuff as well, so here are:
     
    My new titanium diver-knife
     
    And my new diving-computer
     
    So, all in all a good saturday so far.

    That's what it looks like in my head right now. I think I'm turning into a machine...kinda like Sam Worthington in Terminator Salvation.
    Also makes me want to rip out my hair like he did.
    Actually this is kind of fun to learn about if the pace weren't so fast and if the exam was on thursday.
     
    Ok...enough downtime, back to crunching numbers.
     
    Compiling...

    By Vezok's Friend,

    25 Days

    By Vezok's Friend,

    I still haven't really realized it... 
    It's a hard thing to grasp. But on April 4th I will no longer be in school...after 13 years!
     
    It's exciting and scary and everything at the same time
  15. Vezok's Friend
    A little incoherent writing ahead, reader discretion is advised, the author has just awoekn from a far too short sleep...
     
    So, after 2 Nights in San Francisco I am heading over to Berkeley to explore the greater Bay area a bit more.
     
    And while this town is almost as cool as some other cities further north ( ), Waiting and hour just for one cablecar-ride is definitely too much ^^
     
    Still, I like it here. I wonder how many more weird and interestin things I'll see over the next week. Caketaker for this week is a man rivalling Ben Stiller as Zoolander though. Alongside a man in a teal Suit and dreadlocks down to his back!
     
    And the fireworks from the 4th were some of the coolest I ever saw!
     
    Take everyone.

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Second stop on my tour. And it's a big one

    A Cool Song

    By Vezok's Friend,

    I recently found an old CD by german Punkband with one of my favourite songs on it
    Give me some water, I suffer from thirst,
    I came all this way alone and on foot
    Every single step, metre by metre,
    From somwhere out there, so very far away from here
     
    I swam through the ocean, fed on water and salt,
    only to come here and finally see you
    I was in every desert one can think of
    Almost giving up to move on
     
    I often took wrong turns, was blind for too long
    Everywhere and nowhere I searched for you
     
    And for years I walked through rain,
    Or were it tears? I don't know anymore
     
     
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    I will walk the same way for you again
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    then no price will be too high too see you
     
     
    Do you see the bag i carry with me?
    My history and my whole life are in it
     
    You can take it from me and burn it
    It is full of memories I don't want anymore
    Yesterday is worthless to me and tomorrow doesn't matter
    As long as you can promise me you'll hold me
     
     
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    I will walk the same way for you again
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    I will follow you to the ends of this world
     
     
    I want to believe what is written in the bible
    And what they try to teach us in every TV-show:
    that it doesn't matter in the end
    if you are the winner or the looser
     
     
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    I will walk the same way for you again
    But if only love counts, if only love counts
    I will follow you to the ends of this world
     
    No price is too high for me to see you

    This is propably one of the most random entries in my Blog yet. And no, I am in no deep psychological well trying to see the bottom clearly, that is reserved for philosophy class and other times. Before you pity me, just know I am quite happy while typing this and this is just me wanting to ask you (who bother to read my stuff here) something that's been bugging me since I was ten:
     
    Do you pay attention to your surroundings and the people around you?
     
    If yes, you certainly know the following kind of people: Grumpy, slow, uninterested, respectless or plain unfriendly. I am sure everyone propably has seen or knows one of those people. The young guy in baggypants at the bustop blaffing at your for slightly looking in his direction. The old man staring you down because you ride a bycicle on the sidewalk or simply because you are still young. The middleaged lady in the bus murmuring something nasty about you because you have a seat and she doesn't, although she doesn't carry any shopping bags or is pregnant or in any kind entitled to ask you to stand up. These people who walk around and if you meet enough of them in one day they can seriously kill your good mood.
    I am pretty sure you can relate.
     
    Why are there so many grey-faced, corners-of-mouth-down people? Is there too much bad weather or is it the time we live in I wonder?
     
    Maybe it is time to spread a little joy people. So if you go out on the street the next time and someone looks at you as if he's got a personal cloud of rain over his/her head, give them a smile, just for the sake of maybe meeting someone who returns it

    I think I mentioned growing up with my dad's taste of music...well, sometimes I come across some of my favourite songs from that time (Back when I didn't know any English). Today's Discovery? Paul Simon, whos Graceland Album is just full of feel-good music ^^ 
    "You can call me Al"

    A man walks down the street
    He says why am I soft in the middle now
    Why am I soft in the middle
    The rest of my life is so hard
    I need a photo-opportunity
    I want a shot at redemption
    Don't want to end up a cartoon
    In a cartoon graveyard
    Bonedigger Bonedigger
    Dogs in the moonlight
    Far away my well-lit door
    Mr. Beerbelly Beerbelly
    Get these mutts away from me
    You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you Betty
    And Betty when you call me
    You can call me Al
     
    A man walks down the street
    He says why am I short of attention
    Got a short little span of attention
    And wo my nights are so long
    Where's my wife and family
    What if I die here
    Who'll be my role-model
    Now that my role-model is
    Gone Gone
    He ducked back down the alley
    With some roly-poly little bat-faced girl
    All along along
    There were incidents and accidents
    There were hints and allegations
     
    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you Betty
    And Betty when you call me
    You can call me Al
    Call me Al
     
    A man walks down the street
    It's a street in a strange world
    Maybe it's the Third World
    Maybe it's his first time around
    He doesn't speak the language
    He holds no currency
    He is a foreign man
    He is surrounded by the sound
    The sound
    Cattle in the marketplace
    Scatterlings and orphanages
    He looks around, around
    He sees angels in the architecture
    Spinning in infinity
    He says Amen! and Hallelujah!
     
    If you'll be my bodyguard
    I can be your long lost pal
    I can call you Betty
    And Betty when you call me
    You can call me Al
    Call me Al
