Starcraft 2 and TSL3

Today, in about 4 hours, TSL3 round of 16 will continue. I am very pumped since all the players in ro16 are superb players and there are some sick matches to come.

What I, and most others are mostly looking forward to is MC vs WhiteRa. MC, self-proclaimed GOD PROTOSS and WhiteRa, in my opinion, best non-korean player right now. He is just tearing trough the field with his massive skill.

Notice how I said "best non-korean"? Well, MC is a korean GOD of PROTOSS. Right now, he seems to be the best player in the world along with another korean MarineKingPrime however MKP won't be playing this tournament.

I'm excited for the tournament and will be updating live.

I've been playing starcraft 2 constantly since the beta. However, I've only played online. I've now started playing singleplayer in the sake of reviewing it. I never really got into the SC2 storyline.

I'll review some key missions while I play.

FOR THE SWARM

I just finished Mafia 2 and will review it.

The game has some good and bad parts. It had superb character development, storyline, cut-scenes and dialog. The voice acting was very good. This is why I like singeplayer games. The ones that are good, are REALLY good. Mafia 1 for example. That game just blew my mind. Mafia 2 was a bit flawed in some points however.

The 2 major things that I disliked about M2 was the constant driving.. oh my god the driving. I'm still having nightmares.. I'm just driving and driving and there is no end to it.

The second thing was that the missions were either no action(shooting) ones or bloodbaths. I mean, I either killed 20 guys in 5 minutes or drove around for 30 minutes. There were no consistent 4 min driving, killed 3 guys in 5 min etc. That was the powerpoint of Mafia 1 - it was all layd out perfectly.

I will be ranking games with a scale of Mafia 1.
For Mafia 1, I'd give 9.5/10. Mafia 2 is worth 6.5/10. It was decent. Worth your 12h of gaming if the DRIVING doesn't ware you off too badly.

Beta beta beta!

Great news! I just looked it up and its confirmed that there will be a closed beta test for Guild Wars 2 in 2011. That means its this year!!!

The beta will be closed, which means there is a limited number of beta keys. But if you are eager enough and wan't to participate in the beta really badly, just keep up with the news. Follow them on twitter at twitter.com/guildwars2. Another great place where I constantly visit is a Guild Wars fanpage at guildwars2guru.com. When the beta has started, they will be the second ones to post it(first being guildwars2.com of course).

Diablo 3 will also have a closed beta somewhere during the winter. They will give a beta key for everyone who buys a ticket to blizzcon. Blizzcon will be held on October 22. You can find more information at www.blizzcon2011.com.

The games release dates are usually 2-4 months after the end of the beta. I believe these games are no exeption. They can't postpone the game release too much longer. I think GW2 will be releaseb before Diablo 3 tho.

Great to post again, see ya soon

As most gamers nowadays, I am all about the online play. The player interaction is such an important part. Thats one of the biggest reason why gaming all over the world has blown out of the sky since the past 3 years. The single player games were huge and a lot of fun at the beginning for the gaming era. Now however, less and less games are produced that are solely single player based.

There are only a few singelplayer games that I play and actually enjoy. Angrybirds and Assassins Creed are my favourites. Also Mafia 2 was decent, but the constant driving was just so tiring. Too much just driving around time..

g2g

Games I really enojoy are the ones that have huge emphasis on pvp. Thats the greatest part of games imo - the player interactions with one another. Guild Wars 2 and Diablo 3 will both be very pvp based. Diablo 3 will have more pve stuff probably, since its more of that style, but Guild Wars 2... The name says it all - GUILD wars. The name is basically saying HUGE PVP BATTLES.

Guild Wars 2 will have a lot of very fun "quests". They said in the PAX 2011 meeting that they wanna remove the boring "collect 10 boar fang" quests. They are just the one same quest over and over again. Its extremely mondaine and boring. Guild Wars 2 will have something quite different. Its a progressing mission lines. I'll elaborate one example.

Say you are just exploring around and meet a small village. One of the villagers comes to you and asks for help for an incoming tauren march attack. You will see a horde of tauren running towards the village and start destroying it. If you kill them before they destroy the village, you will get rewarded. However if you fail to kill them, they will take over the village. Then the quest is to retake the village. If you fail that, they will start increasing their army size, getting some new fireweapons and siege weapons... its a constant progress.

Those kind of quests seem like a lot of fun.

Diablo 3 however, has one thing that any other game has not - Harcore(Hardcore from hereon out). Meaning, that if you die once, thats it. Thats IT. Your character + equipment is gone for good. Bye bye good character, time to make a new one. It seems like too harsh and not worth it, but believe, it is. I've played 5 years HC Diablo 2 and its so much fun. I rarely die, but the exitement is always there. Although its very unlikely that HC in D3 will be like it was in D2, since its very strict in diablo 2. They have released not that much about the game so I don't have quite enough solid information to blog about yet. There are a lot of speculations but those are just rumors that have zero base.

I'm tired, gonna go to sleep now, gonna be explaining about D3 and GW2 a lot more tomorrow.

Great to be blogging again. Till next time, nighty night.

Hello world!

It's been quite some time since I've been blogging. I have forgotten for some time, but now I'm back, and this time for good. There will be a lot to talk about. Soon, Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2 will be released and I will be playing them non-stop. I will be blogging and vloging all game long. The games will be released about the same time. My prediction is:
Guild Wars 2 - November 11th
Diablo 3 - February 17th

Both will surely be kickass games and I will pre-order both as soon as possible.

There is a new exciting expansion pack for guild wars. It's Guild Wars Nightfall. There are two new classes in the expansion pack. Nightfall was released worldwide on October 27, 2006.

The two new classes in the game are. The Dervish and The Paragon. The Dervish is like a holy paladin who aids the team and can transform into other forms. He can wield a scythe. Now the Paragon is the true spirit of the team. He is a heavy tank and should lead the team in battle. There is some new landscape in the game also that is filled with people.

The expansion pack itself is pretty good, and I recommend it. You can find Guild Wars homepage here and the greatest fanpage here.

Just bought myself a brand new PSP :P It's working quite well, but right now I'm kinda saveing money for a memory card, because all the games and movies cost too much, and only way to get them "free" is if I put all of the stuff to a memory stick. They cost about $200. Bought myself a black one altough there are white ones. First game I will play is GTA Liberty City Stories(Screens 1, 2, 3). It has multiplayer, so I can play with other people in a wifi areas... Will update my post soon about the PSP

Hi. Just want to give you all a little preview of the newest cell phone Sony Ericsson W800i. This is their newest product and it's very good. I bought it for myself, and I can guarantee to you, that the price is worth it. I love the high-quality MP3 player and the fact that it has a FM radio built in it. There is also a Top10 of cell phones and Sony Ericsson W800i is Top1 of course. Before this one I had Samsung SGH-X460 for a long time. I had never problems with it.

Guild Wars Faction Championship begins! The first qualifying season begins March 7, 2006 .There will be three qualifying seasons: March 7 – April 3, April 18 – May 15, May 30 – June 26. Seasonal Playoffs will take place at the end of each qualifying season. The top 16 guilds on the Guild Wars Ladder will earn GWFC Points each season. 1st and 2nd Place in each Region will receive bonus points. This is the best part - 5 guilds with the most GWFC points at the end of the qualifying seasons will vie for a $100,000 purse and other valuable prizes :). The Guild Wars Factions World Championship is scheduled to take place in August of 2006. There are a lot of people already looking foward to it, including me. But there is some tough competition, and I think we all know what countly will get the first place ;). I will still give my best. You also may wanna check out The Factions Gameplay Trailer.

I used to use Norton Anti-Virus, but last week a friend suggested trying out NOD32. So today I finally picked up my copy of the NOD32 Anti-Virus from the local computer store. So I installed it and immediately noticed some big differences. It uses far less memory and scans the hard-drive amazingly fast. It also alerted me of some viruses in my computer, that Norton Anti-Virus didn't detect for some reason. I already feel much more secured by using NOD32. Try it also!

The new expansion pack for World of Warcraft, The Burning Crusade, is coming! Development on the first ever World of Warcraft expansion - The Burning Crusade - continues at a feverish pace, and the dev team has released its first information on one of the new dungeons for the expansion. Take a look at the preview!

Osama may be 'taken out' this year. According to Aegis Defence Services, a British security consultancy, founded by a former British Army Colonel Tim Spicer, the most wanted and hunted terrorist in the world Osama bin Laden is "largely a spent force". Read more.

Break.com - This is a pretty good site. There are some funny clips about- freaky hamsters and cats. This is pretty vicious. British troops take it upon themselves to beat up some Iraqi kids. Warning: Break.com shows a lot of crashes like this, this, this and this.

Hi all! Starting a new page. I hope people will read my posts.
