Wall of text coming you way!

To sum this post up, this is my experience so far:

1. Hard as hell
2. Die repeatedly
3. Savepoints fuckin everywhere
4. Feeling disrupted
5. Routine
6. Indifference ensues

You never have time to get scared. You might get startled sometimes (very rarely indeed), but never scared. Especially not after getting killed by the same monsters 10 times in a row, and when you
finally get pass them, there’s a few more around the corner. And you know it.

The problem is that even the developers seem to know it. Their game being hard, and
their loading times long. Thus… savepoints everywhere, so you won’t have to replay too much. Which of course makes the game even less scary. The creepy feeling keeps getting disrupted by never ending save zones, which are very badly designed might I add. If you don’t want to overwrite some previous save, you have to scroll aaaaaall the way down to the bottom. I don’t get it. Why would you do that?
And ok, fair enough, the game has 3 difficulties. I could easily have picked “normal” or even “easy”, but I want a challenge when I play. I tend to always pick “hard”, but this game is really really hard. At least in the beginning, which is pretty critical. But.. I’ve got the technique down now, and the “cut-of-the-limbs” thing is routine. Routine being a bad word in this context, cause who wants routine in a horror game? And this just makes the save points even more disrupting, cause when you finally feel a little bit of flow, you have to stop and save, cause let’s just face it. If there’s a save zone, you save. That’s it. You don’t just pass it, cause there COULD be a big fat hairy super monster around the corner (and sometimes there is), and you don’t want to run all the way back there.

And now, 3 hours deep in the Planet Cracker USG Ishimura, I find myself quite… I don’t know. I wouldn’t say bored, because the game is beautiful, and the gore is tasty as hell. Overall I’d give the environment and atmosphere 9/10. They’ve done a really good job. The story is also pretty sweet, and it develops nicely so far. But I’m not close to getting scared. The overall score so far is a mere 7/10,. and I wouldn’t buy this game today, but I will keep playing it. After all it did cost me 700 kr.

Also.. the upgrade system is just silly. You BUY weapons in a store, for money you loot from dead monsters. What is that? WHAT IS THAT?!?!?? And I’m tempted to explain even further the silliness of this system, but that would mean spoiling.

But at least it’s safe to say this; Dag can safely play this game and keep his pants clean.
I’ll keep you posted as I play.

Current possible destinations are:

Old, but gold!

Check this shit…

This here is a video from when he just stepped out of the cage, and he’s slowly checking out his new home. He instantly took a liking to my sofa. And my bed. And my plants.

He seems a very talkative cat, and meows everytime he enters a room. He is most awesome.

Later that evening, I gave him his first catmint pastille. He was tripping balls. Here’s some awesome footage. He went completely limp, and was pretty much unconscious. I could tell he was still alive by his tummy going up and down, and because he kind of…. made a slurping sound while sleeping. Like he was tasting something super-delicious. I felt a bit bad when he didn’t move for 20 minutes, but he seemed pretty content when he woke up, and later retired to the state of bliss in my sofa.

Best of luck, Shortfuse.

but…

….instead dr. Dreamy from Greys Anatomy appeared…

I call it the Doomfish. I actually enjoyed the demo and I’m a bit impressed by the way they make the skeleton react real-time depending on where you place limbs and such.

I’m still pretty confident that I’m not the target audience for the full product, but I guess I would recommend this demo for some mindless fun.

I just saw this amazing quote that made this old fruit giggle himself into a stupor, or maybe that again was the beer. Anyhow meh loled and i hope you will to, enjoy your law enforced sandbox!

“I was buying a hot dog from a street vendor in Hove Beach yesterday when I saw someone run a red light, barrel down the sidewalk, careen into a garbage truck, exit his vehicle, steal a nearby convertible, and drive away,” one Broker resident reported. “A nearby police car didn’t even react. But when the car behind him nicked his fender, the officer shot the driver through the windshield and walked away.”

“That is not the kind of law enforcement we want for our community,” he added.

And just to level with everybody, here’s the story. I found a sweet ass-homepage (remember to move the hyphen one word to the right for lulz) with instructions for how to get sweet ass-abs in just 4 months (www.iwantsixpackabs.com). And the best part was, that it’s FREE!!! Click here NOW!! FREE!! No Visa Card Required!!! FREE!! FREE!! Join our maillist!! FREE!! You get the picture.

So I though to myself: “I need to get in shape, and this sweet ass-site claims that it can help me, free of charge.”

I made a pact with myself. I’ll join this maillist to get access to the sites video journals, routines, diets and techniques to get a six pack in 4 months. And if it is indeed absolutely free, I’ll do it. I’ll go for it, 100%.

And it fucking was…

So now I have to embaress myself for 4 months. 4 months. 3 of which are in the middle of the summer. And since this gymming binge has a start and an end, what could possibly be better than to blog about it on BT. I’ll post pictures every now and then, and try to keep you updated with how my sweet ass-muscles grow. I have a picture of me just seconds before starting on training session 1, I’ll post it tomorrow or something.
