    Fly, Fly Away!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    So, this is my last entry for weeks, because I will be off to that little Island paradise I mentioned earlier. My away dates are in my sig for those who need me back asap.
    On the other hand I will try to drop you guys a message here...from Dubai. They have free internet on the airport ^^
    I will spend my time with some drawing as well. I might put up a teaser later today if I have the time.
    So take caare and see you in two weeks.

    Hey guys. Nothing new from, except more art on the way, but today I am not here to blog about anything related to me.
     
    Crimson Jester, which all of you who ever stepped into the the BZPRPG in the past few years should know, at least by the name, has asked me to let you all know that he's currently taking some time off BZP. He lost two good friends this month, so you know why.
     
    Stay safe everybody.

    Forgotten Sands

    By Vezok's Friend,

    I am not a fan of games that get released together with movies to boost sales figures, as a rule of thumb. Production is often rushed to meet the deadline and as such those games are generally infested with bugs.
     
    What a pleasant surprise the latest Prince of Persia was.
    The game was released a bit earlier then the movie and the titular prince is not Jake Gyllenhaal, but the nameless Prince from the Sands of time trilogy.
    Action takes place somewhere between Sands and Warrior within as far as I know, but that's not important.
    While the PoP from 08 was the graphically most beautiful thing next to Crysis to be installed on my PC, it lacked in story and repetitive gameplay and quick-time events.
     
    Forgotten sands had a bit of the same vibe for the first hour where I thought it might drift off into the "you are all alone with nobody around and now you shall jump and run through giant puzzle-rooms". While that is certainly an element present in the game, it is not dominant. There's sections that require spot-on timing, without QTE's. Instead there are deadly traps and later on there's loads of enemies in between.
    Speaking of enemies: They are many. In the first room I barely fought 4 of them only to be faced with 20 of them two rooms later. They get easier to dispatch over the course of the game but their number gives off an epic feel. And they give off life, so to maintain health you gotta stick your sword to the baddies. And vases.
    I don't want to know how much worth of china the Prince broke in this game.
     
    Also defeated enemies give off points for levelling up. There's 4 different powers to be used during combat, plus three powers that are used during getting around. One is the ability to solidify water, one is the manifestation of memories (as in, "there used to be a stair here" *press ALT* "Oh THERE it is!") and the old-time favourite: Winding back time if you happen to plummet into a pit of spikes. Which happens. A lot.
     
    Well...it did to me.
     
    Now to wrap this up, I'll just say this thing really ended in an epic way. And by epic I mean EPIC. Fighting a godzilla-sized monster in the ruins of a temple in the middle of a sandstorm that has part's of the Persian temple flying around and you jumping around on them?
     
    YES
     
    I'm off. Gotta get the sand washed out of my ears.

    Freaking Miserable

    By Vezok's Friend,

    Yeah...today is a good day to die. Today I really hate myself. And it's even worse because there is no reason for it either.
     
     
    PS: I am thinking about changing my fontcolour here. Any suggestions? I am tending towards blue.

    Freedom!

    By Vezok's Friend,

    13 Years are over. 13 years of waking every morning at 7, having breakfast, going to school at 8 and coming back around 2 in the afternoon are done. 
    Today was my last day. Final exams are coming in 3 weeks.
     
    But until then, I'll enjoy myself and the free time!

    Full Circle

    By Vezok's Friend,

    I've journeyed, over 3 years, from Montréal to Montréal. Tomorrow or the day after I'll be going back to visit the College I went to those 3 years ago.
    It's been a long and interesting, sad but also exciting Journey, with probably the best times of my life so far in it...
     
    Yeah, I feel a bit reminiscent. ^^

    Game Over

    By Vezok's Friend,

    This was awesome. Plain awesome. (With a sprinkle of sadness). I met some of the most fantastic people (which means my blogwatch list got a lot longer ^^), on and off BZP and experienced so much cool stuff and got to do so many fun things. I am lazy with pictures though so you will have to wait for those I guess. 
    But this is the pinnacle of the trip which started out awesome and got exponentially more awesome as time progressed until it exploded with awesomeness...ok, I am going to stop using the word awesome now...
     
    Signing off, leaving for NYC tomorrow.

    Yup, that's us ^^ We got to introduce ourselves in front of the class with Nicknames.
    Our Professors are "Tank" and "Blacksmith" respectively. And no, this is not a joke!
    This was an awesome first day. I look forward to getting really started next week!
     
    Peace out!

    Our current project until January is plastilin modelling a creature. We're only into the second week of it and the things each of us is working on are coming along nicely. Of course the tables are only filled with conversations about wonky proportions, internet meme's and geeky game-talk  
    And here's my pet for the project. Ain't he cute!? ^^
     
    Oh and it is snowing again! <3
     
    Drive safely everyone!

    Maybe some of you will remember this entry from a few weeks back? 
    Yesterday was the final day of working on the characters we designed for the module. There will be a presentation on Monday and I need to hand in my character-sheet then as well, but the important part is that it is finished:
     

     
    Some people from the courses above us said that my charie probably was the most detailed figure as it is relatively small compared to others.
     
    To top things of we decided to take some quality photos of our models and used our studio there. As it turns out, I am quite comfortable with using aa professional camera. ^^

    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!"

    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?

    You'd think videogames and homework are two things mutually exclusive. Well, unlike the devision by 0 this is actually something possible. 
    Our task over the next two weeks will be to write a scientific (!) paper on a topic of our choosing relating to video-games.
     
    We already figured out the questions/topics. The current milestone will be the introduction.
     
     
    PS: Also, we are going to get our PC's the middle of this week It is time to bring Crysis to school it seems.
     
    PPS: You won't believe me when you see what has been waiting in my mail today! Pictures pending til next entry ^^

    Sooo, I checked the E3 trailers.
     
    Apart from el seniore Ezio Auditore di Firenze, our Hashishin decendant, we also return to to a galaxy far far away with the old republic, but, the ultimate thing I am looking forward two are our Nanosuit-clad friends Nomad,Psycho and Prophet, back in action on the Lingshan Islands

    General Art Wow

    By Vezok's Friend,

    After many a week of not going beyond the boundaries of the blogs, I am positively surprised about all the good art that has emerged in Artwork I lately ^^ 
    Some very talented people have started posting stuff and I've started feeling that urge to draw Bionicle again...we'll see what comes from that.
     
    Speaking of which, I had a nice idea for something!
