    Home, Sweet Home

    By Vezok's Friend,

    The new forums looks pretty nice, don't they.
     
    Also everything looks more tidy and a little smaller now as well.
    I don't get struck by a ton of topics right away which is good.
     
    Nothing else to say really, let the good times roll!

    Today was interesting...especially the frontpage news on the possibility of Bionicle returning sometime in the future. What struck me funny though is the attitude some people have developed on the topic. I get it that some people say the main-story is done and so is the whole thing, I also understand why some want to see it return or continue. (Obviously because it's one of the coolest things Lego has come up with.)
    I also can understand why people dislike HF. It's a replacement as far as Lego-action-figures go, but not in story. Personally I think it has some cool aspects.
     
    But one opinion that stood out to me was the one that says those wanting Bionicle to come back are too concerned with a simple toyline and should move on and that Bionicle should in fact not return, ever.
     
    So let me get this straight: You say that the members of a Bionicle fansite are too concerned with Bionicle?
     
    Great job Sherlock! If that is your stand on things why are you still here?
     
    I would go into picking this apart in-depth but It'd get kind of mean and I don't want to rant. So let me make this short:
    Different people will have different opinions. It is ok to voice your opinion on something.
    Wanting everybody else to share that opinion of yours is not.
     
    And to throw in some extra wisdom:
    Bionicle is over now. Get over it.
    Bionicle might come back. Get over it.

    I know Necro is probably going to want to flay me alive for this...with his mind, but I've decided to re-install ME2.
    For another playthrough. Playthrough Nr. 6 or more by now.
    Now, chances are I failed and forgot to make a backup up my original safe-file and will need to recreate Alexander Shepard (As seen in my Avatar) and play through ME1 AND 2 or I did make a backup on the external HD...let's hope for the latter.
    In any case though, ME2 came with such a buttload of DLC (15 Releases, 7 of which are additional missions each taking another few hours to complete.)
    Which I am downloading. Right now. All at the same time.
     
    :3
     
    Edit: Nooo...Alexander Shepard got killed during a total system reboot ;_;
    Seems I need to go all Lazarus on the Game. Well, seems I will need to save the galaxy twice this month then...

    Remember those subconscious projections Cobb faced off against? Guardians for your dream and mind while you sleep?
    The ordinary human may have day-to-day citizens perform that role, we have Toa who BURN STUFF by flicking their pinkies.

    And on a more personal note: If you do happen to manage it past the burn-stuff-stage in my mind, I've got Sharks, Robots, Assasins, Darth Vader and a T-Rex all waiting just for YOU

    Oh and on the third level there is a labyrinth that is haunted by a hybrid of Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber. Just FYI

    It's Friday!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    I don't care if monday's blue
    tuesday's grey and wednesday too
    thursday I don't care about you
    it's friday I'm in love
     
    monday you can fall apart
    tuesday wednesday break my heart
    thursday doesn't even start
    it's friday I'm in love
     
    saturday wait
    and sunday always comes too late
    but friday never hesitate...
     
    I don't care if monday's black
    tuesday wednesday heart attack
    thursday never looking back
    it's friday I'm in love
     
    monday you can hold your head
    tuesday wednesday stay in bed
    orthursday watch the walls instead
    it's friday I'm in love
     
    saturday wait
    and sunday always comes too late
    but friday never hesitate...
     
    dressed up to the eyes
    it's a wonderful surprise
    to see your shoes and your spirits rise
    throwing out your frown
    and just smiling at the sound
    and as sleek as a shriek
    spinning round and round
    always take a big bite
    it's such a gorgeous sight
    to see you in the middle of the night
    you can never get enough
    enough of this stuff
    it's friday
    I'm in love
     
     
    Now that's a song about Friday! And I don't care if it is only Thursday today!

    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!

    Epiphanies

    By Vezok's Friend,

    HAL is back. Aparrently he did not decide I was risking the Space-mission.
     
    A few days without PC access can really get you to thinking. And I don't mean more time thinking away from the PC, I mean sleep-deprived lying awake asking about the question that results in 42 at 2am and no end in sight.
     
    I got some good results and some mental walls. Also I really lack in socializing in RL atm. Pm, comment or talk to me?
     
    The upside(s) are not bad though: I figured out why some people I know are as awesome as they seem, I watched Season 5 of House over the last 3 days and feel like his nicer younger self by now (Problem?)...oh, and AC: brotherhood collectors edition arrived yesterday :3
     
    Now all that remains is to update HAL to run Win7 and I will be back with full force! Also I decided to update my Blog-design over the next 2 weeks. And I have started drawing a weekly webcomic. Nothing is online so far, but it will be. In time.
     
    How have you guys been the last week?
  12. Vezok's Friend
    Little Update entry. The Lappy is now running on Windows 7 Professional ^^
    Already feels good. It's going to be a long night, but totes worth it!
     
    Also if you read this entry you are required to go to a friends profile (not me, somebody from your list you care about) and give them a hug. We need more of those!

    HAL, my trusty Laptop is injured. Injured, because it is not a software but a hardware problem. He doesn't like lateral movement much these days. To make it short: Something is up with the display connection to the boards inside, either with the connection to the graphiccard or with the cable itself. There is no data-loss and everything is still performing well but it quite frustrating to have your screen fail on you just because you lifted the Laptop up so the SD-slot was easier to access.
    So I called the company, I'm still in the warranty period and just traveling a lot is not a good argument for bad treatment of a laptop because...well, because that is what you do with Laptops, you take them with you.
    Today they are going to come to pick it up. Shipping and repair is usually taking up to a week, according to the guy from support.
    Which means this: This week, my ability to be online and to work on my art is severely compromised. I will try to keep up here and in other places but I'll be rare.
    The week after, I'll be on holiday. I do not know wether or not I will have the laptop then but I prolly won't take it with me.
     
    Long story short: Don't expect to see me much the next two weeks. Though I will try to be around.

    I really hate starting this blog-entry with "I". I noticed a while back I often fall back to comparing things people blog, post and such with things that have happened or are happening to me or with myself personally. I don't know why I'm doing it and I feel it just comes across as egotistical.
     
    That is completely unintentional and a stupid habit and I'm working on that issue.
     
    Enough personal drama for the night. Back to RPing, working on a shirt-design and a banner, a painting, a webcomic...

    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...

    Basic Module Programming.  
    Getting to know all the if-clauses of binary, with yes (true) and no(false) conditions. Pretty interesting.
     
    So kids, basic math is indeed coming back to haunt you, only now it's wearing disguises.
     
    And who'd ever think I'd like it?

    My classmates are awesome. Plain and simple. How much, you can not even fathom, but for good measure here's todays example: 
    Our classroom lies on the sunny side of the building. Fine on an average day. but spring is here and he decided to bring sun along too, shining in through a window.
    Now we have to stay true to our geek-roots and stay in the dark almost all day, right? Right.
    The blinds have a sensor that determines when they get closed and opened.
     
    Performing the latter action today they made this really, really horrible screeching sound while going up.
     
    First reaction from Momo behind me?
     
    "NAZGÛL!"

    Earbudinator

    By Vezok's Friend,

    And once again most of my earbuds except for the water-resistant pair are having issues.  
    Which sucks if you happen to be a little audiophile like me.
     
    But I am happy one of my best friends recommended a certain pair from ultimate ears to me a few years back. The cables are replaceable and I am not forced to throw away the buds themselves, worth over 150 bucks...that would suck. Big time.
     
    Now to wait for the order to get here...

    Rpg Frustration

    By Vezok's Friend,

    You know what I actually despise?  
    That lack of reason, or rather that assumption of omnipotence sometimes displayed in RPGs. What do you pro's call it? Metagaming?
     
    Why should I bother with a long setup and chain of posts to get a character to a certain secret location, just by his own means if it apparetnly is just as legit to conjure up some random NPC who will willingly give all the information on that secret location one needs.
     
    I am not angry at anybody specific, I am just angry that all the RPing I did with one charie for the last two days is pretty much void now.
     
    Whood-di-frikkin-doo. -.-

    Art...and Snow!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    What? Art by VF? Here!?

    Yes indeed, I got off my quad and finished a piece today ^^ Head over to Artwork I if you want to check it out.

    Also, who ordered the cold and snow to make a second pass? It's not enough to look pretty, it's just cold, grey and the streets are freezing!

    Go away cold, I am already feeling sick, don't need you now. K, thx, bay!
