Zaklínač 2

2011-06-04T14:05:00.000-07:00

Snad nikdo nemohl přehlédnout existenci druhého dílu herního zaklínače. A jaké jsou dojmy? Inu, grafika krásná, i na naprosto nejnižší detaily vypadá výborně. Ovládání dost divné, obzvláště v soubojích s více nepřáteli, když by se člověk potřeboval pohybovat naprosto přesně, tak zbytečně umírá zaseklý o nějaký roh. Příběh je napínavý, dobře sedí do zaklínačova světa z knih A. Sapkovského. Postavy se chovají vcelku přirozeně. Jen jaksi nepochopím přejmenování Triss Ranuncul na Triss Merigold a podobně. A mimochodem, s původním zaklínačem souvisí i poměrně drsná mluva a činy, takže se nedivím zařazení hry do kategorie striktně pro dospělé. Nejde jen o slůvko od F, to je naprosto běžné, ale například v jednom úkole je potřeba odlákat vojáčka ze stráže. Což herní Geralt řeší zaplacením štětky, která si ho odtáhne kousek dál, rozepne mu poklopec a značně realisticky vykouří. Celkově hodně dobrá hra, lze jen doporučit.

Je čas farmařit

2010-10-28T09:01:00.000-07:00

V poslední době je čím dál tím populárnější slovíčko bio. Problém je jen v tom, že defakto jen znamená to, že je to co jíte opravdu potravina a ne výrobek chemičky. Docela by mě zajímalo, jestli se hry na farmáře zrodily z této touhy po přírodě, ale jsou nesmírně populární. Po celém světě virtuálně farmaří miliony lidí a tvúrci těchto jednoduchých hříček vydělávají miliony dolarů. A přitom je to divné, protože podobná dílka nevynikají nijak extra kvalitní grafikou a zvládl by je vyrobit průměrný programátor za týden.

Raidování ve WoW

2010-04-23T07:16:00.000-07:00

Tak jsem přišel na chuť chození raidů, výprav pro 10 či 25 lidí společně. Ale že mi to trvalo, nějak mi nedocházelo, že spousta lidí běhá ve výbavě, kterou prostě jde získat jen takto, ale k tomu prvních pár kousků i velmi snadno. Jen s chudákem paladinem to bylo trochu drsnější, protože jsme tam byli v deseti, což znamená dva tankové a z toho jsem byl ten silnější (i bez té nové výbbavy) a tak jsem toho musel ustát víc. A i slečna warločka začíná vypadat k světu, včera se v icecrown citadel překonávala a dělala průměr dps 5600, což už opravdu není málo, na její výbavu.. A jen tak ilistračně, ukázka právě palacha, se současnou nejlepší výbavou na tankování co má.

Star Wars-Force Unleashed

2010-04-11T08:56:00.000-07:00

Jsem veliký fanoušek Hvězdných Válek a tak mě pochopitelně informace o této (tehdy zatím připravované) hře zaujaly a vydání jsem poměrně netrpělivě očekával. Nicméně následně bylo práce hodně a financí málo a tak se žádná kulatá placka nekupovala, až nyní jsem narazil na kamaráda, který do hry investoval. Pravda, už když mi jí půjčoval, tak povídal, že to byla ztráta peněz a že hra stojí za pííp. Nevěřil jsem, ale po zahrání nelze než souhlasit. Už po stránce příběhu jsem byl zklamaný, je takový trochu divný, nicméně to by se ještě skouslo. Ostatní stránky věci jsou mnohem horší. Hra je konzolová předělávka a tento fakt z ní doslova sálá na každém kroku. Holt vše je dělané pro ovládání umožňující pohyb, střelbu a maximálně tak výskok. Ano, a tuning. Možnost přepínat barvu svého světelného meče se múže puberťákům zdát podstatná. Ale celkově jde o neskutečně ploché prostředí, kde vlastně jen běžíte a likvidujete desítky nepřátel. Odbočit nelze, dělat něco jiného než masově likvidovat vojáčky či později třeba rankory prakticky nejde, občas narazíte na místo, kde musíte silou pohnout nějakým předmětem skrytým za přěpážkou a jede se dál. Tu a tam, vlastně obvykle na konci mise následuje obtížnější soupeř, boss. Což se mě osobně hodně nelíbilo. Totiž, kamera přestane sledovat pohled postavy a zapíchne se na místě. Je tak docela těžké vůbec toho nepřítele zaměřit, třeba oblíbenými blesky nebo odhozením. A když tak třeba polovičku síly vyplýtváte úplně do prázdna, tak začne přituhovat. Naštěstí si později začnou bossové povolávat pomocníky, kteří vás (když je zabijete, což je jedno značné plus, tento nápad) léčí, jinak by byla většina soubojů skoro nemožných. Ale jak říkám, za souboje se šéfy výrazně palec dolů kvůli zhoršené orientaci. A kapitolouá sama o sobě je grafika. Ne že by byla ošklivá, právě naopak, ale není možné jí nijak nastavit, jedině rozlišení. A v době, kdy je na LCD monitorech možné používat prakticky jen nativní rozlišení mi toto přijde jako dost podstatná chyba. Prostě opravdu, musím souhlasit s kamarádem co mi hru zapůjčil: "Dohraješ to, ale je to ztráta času"

Gambling

2010-04-06T12:02:00.000-07:00

Kupodivu se v současné době stává mnoho lidí závislých na teoreticky jednoduchých a monotóních hříčkách třeba na facebooku. Zajímavé je, že tyto hříčky jsou neplacené, a teoreticky ani svému programátorovi, ani provozovateli nic nepřináší. Tedy hodně teoreticky, protože při milionech hráčů deně se pochopitelně v reklamě točí miliony dolarů. A co závisláci? Ti mají docela problém, právě kvůli snadné dostupnosti podobných hříček. Ostatně, znám to z vlastní zkušenosti, za řekněme patnáct let jsem byl osobně závislý na docela dost hrách, počínaje prvními MUDy (pro neznalé, to byly hry, které neéobsahovaly žádnou grafiku, jen text, i ovládání bylo psaním příkazů) přes první webovky (ne že bych dělal reklamu, ale například webgame, reddragon) až po plně grafické hry, například lineage a World of Warcraft. Poměrně zajímavé je, že v těch posledně zmiňovaných se točí i ohromné reálné peníze, za které si někteří kupují přednměty ve hře. Sice je to výrobci zakázané, ale je dost závisláků, kteří chtějí dobrou výbavu hned a ne za půl roku nebo za rok. Osobně jsem zažil i obchody překračující několik tisíc kč, výborně vybavená postava ve WoW může stát i několik tisíc dolarů, nejdražší byla tuším za cenu blížící se se stu tisícům korun. Na druhou stranu je všude dost pitomečků, kteří si založí postavu s představou, že jí za pár měsíců prodají za tisíce a jsou pak jen zklamaní.

WoW

2010-03-22T05:30:00.000-07:00

Inu jak se vede ve World of Warcraft? Dobře, děkuji. Obě hrané postavy jsou level 80, z trpasličího paladina se vycvičil docela solidní bijec a výborný tank, z gnomí slečny warločky je výborné dps, včera se mi konečně povedlo poladit útoky a na bosse tak zvládala poranění okolo 6000 za vteřinu, což je s ohledem na úroveň výbavy velmi pěkné číslo. No a obrázky samozřejmě budou, jen to chce nadělat nějaké atraktivní. Inu tak snad jen jeden, z raidu do Ulduaru, 10 hráčů.

Herní závislosti

2010-01-07T01:03:00.000-08:00

Ano, je to pravda, člověk může být na hraní na počítači závislý. Například v číně to dokonce řeší blázince, odvykacími kůrami a elektrošoky. Dokonce jim tak posledně jeden závislý manik zemřel, asi ty šoky někdo přehnal. No naštěstí se toto u nás nedělá, jinak bych byl asi docela slibný kandidát, díky závislosti na ogame, webgame a World of Warcraft. Nedávno druhá postava dosáhla 80 level a teď na ní (něm, je to paladin) pracji, aby byl použitelný jako tank nebo dps. Healer z něj nikdy nebude, na to jaksi nemám povahu, nejsem Mirek Dušín.

Change of language/změna jazyka

2010-01-03T09:20:00.000-08:00

Tak už mě nějak ta english přestala bavit. Spousty zajímavých stránek člověk potkal, spousty zpráv, a nedal je sem, jen proto, že se mu nechtělo se hrabat s překladem. A navíc anglických stráneček s podobnými tématy jsou statisíce, jedna další více nebo méně, to už skoro nehraje rozdíl. Zato česky toho až zase tolik není a spousty z toho (bonusweb a jiné) jsou víceméně placenou reklamní skříní. I z nejhorší hry všech dob se zajisté dá vysekat pár pěkných obrázků a nakecat lidem, že je ovládání super. (Ostatně, to mi připomíná jedno marketingové poučení: Neříkejte lidem, že je to na houby, ale že je to jednoduché a kreativní) A tak holt se to tu bude počešťovat. Navíc mě už hodně štval blogger, svými útoky, pokud měl člověk víc jazyků pod jedním účtem. Některé blogy to automaticky určilo za spam a pak to chtělo ověření a opruz.

Directx11 in action again

2009-11-23T08:45:00.000-08:00

I saw some pictures from stalker, call of pripyat and must say, it looks wonderfull. Ill try to show some of those here.

Torchlight

2009-11-05T02:21:00.000-08:00

New hit like diablo or s*it? Its been a long time since Diablo appeared and entrtained us. Ya, we all love this game, no matter if its first or second part. And we are all waiting for DIII, thats fact. But now appeared new game called Torchlight. It brings 35 underground levels full of monsters and nice graphics. But you will finish it within max 10 hours, which seems too short to me. And also levels of dificulty seems unbalanced. And only 3 classes. And... Am not going to play it.

Dragon Age-Origins

2009-11-03T00:59:00.000-08:00

Only 4 dasy left before selling final version of Dragon Age, Origins. Game made by Bioware, who also created Baldurs Gate, SW Knights of the Old Republic and Mass Effect. Its dark mmorpg, with violence and betrayals each day. You will have group of heroes, like in Baldurs Gate, not only 1 hero, but makers promises tons of skills and abilities, so even if you make group of only one class, you cant learn all skills. Sounds really interesting, each character would be unique, not like unified builds in other games. But i think it will be a bit hard to use all characters together in harder fights. And how it all look? lets add some pictures from game. Seems beautifull, arent they?

Its been a long time

2009-10-26T23:29:00.000-07:00

Since i wrote anything here, but it will change now. My collegue in work is young guy, playing all and watching tons of games, so i have new ideas now. About playing. Mysef am now addict to World of Warcraft, together with milions people all around the world. Its strange, but i started playing it with vision of gold and real money earn by selling gold. But when in game every day some bastard spam me with buy gold messages, that idea got lost. Am now playing only for fun (and of course, to be the best). Wana see my char? So here he goes, little dwarf paladin with big shield and nice mace :)

Work

2008-05-13T01:00:00.000-07:00

I started working, so now will have very little time to write here again. But still playing conquer online, travian, ogame and some more games.. And still watching game scene. BTW, finally discovered why i cant play Half Life 2 on old comp.. IT was some hardware incompatibility, probably memory. On current machine (A64X2 6000+, 2*1gb ram, 8600 GK) runs from start to end without any problem. Lol, i really didnt expected that it was hardware problem, even old machine (A2500+, 2*512 ram, GF 6800) should be more than enough to run it without any problem..

Game news

2007-10-07T01:51:00.000-07:00

Halo 3 brought extreme profit to Microsoft. During first week after releasing this game earned more than 300 000 000 dollars. And it also helped to sell much more X boxes. Must say, its really amazing, but reminds me moment, when pretty big brotherhood waited for Oblivion. And to be honest, i bought it first day after releasing, and didnt played to end till now.

Because of demand of customers, Microsoft will sell Windows xp till summer 2008. They want to stop it at January, but many customers still want it. (I also dont like Vistas, think they demand too much of system memory, and bring no advantages at all.

Because of big sucess of Apple iPhone have another manufacturer of mobile devices Palm big problems.

Electronic Arts preparing pack called Command and Conquer Saga, which should cost 50 dollars and contain 13 Command and Conquer games. Each fan already have them, but for new players this can be interesting.

Pc version of Gears of War should be ready to release at November 6th.

Some news

2007-09-19T02:48:00.000-07:00

Team Fortress 2 on Steam. Valve bids more and more games throught this interface.

74 days after introducing on market Apple sold 1 milion of I phones. But Apple also came with really unfriendly "advantage" for users of their new I pods. They now allow upload any music throught I tunes software. Hope somebody will crack it soon.

AMD is preparing 3 core processors. Yes, it sounds strange, but i think it can bring very interresting solution for everybody.

It is supposed that this year will be sold 100 milions of notebooks.

Seagate wnat manufacture SSDs

2007-08-26T00:53:00.000-07:00

Solid State Drives (or Discs) are pretty interesting. They bid high speed, high reliability and they consume much less power that classical hard drives. But they also cost much more than hard drive, because of expensive flash memories inside. Now only 1 company is manufacturing both.. Samsung. And by latest news, Seagate want to join, because this is whole new area, and can probably generate big profit in future. They are now looking for supplier of flash chips for those new drives, so they probably mean this seriously. Hope its true, because of each new technology cost much, but if its massive used price goes down.

Some news

2007-08-04T02:17:00.000-07:00

Microsoft hope that until end of year, there will be bilion computers using Windows. (Hope it wouldnt)

Sharp will build new factory in Japan. It will manufacture LCD displays, and will cost 3 bilions of dollars.

Some news

2007-07-23T07:39:00.000-07:00

About new games. Sory i left it here so long abandoned, but i finally bought new comp, so i was playing. Ya, i have only old graphic, Radeon X550 borrowed from friend, but A64 6000+ processor make it run really on the edge, and so it provide enough power to play all possible games. Hope soon ill have enough money to buy good graphic myself, and also second Gb of ram. 1G ram isnt enough, but what to do if you lack money? I bought 1 ram, and want buy second same within month, hope they will properly work in dual channel configuration. And now those promised news:

Crysis should be released at september 14th. Hope its true.

Intel announced, that they fear companies such as IBM os Samsung, not small AMD. Hm, that probably means they really fear AMD.. And they have reason, AMD top processor is less powerfull than Intel, but cost half, and also board for it is cheaper.

Hellgate London shold be ready to release soon, but nothing more known about it.

2007-07-07T00:36:00.000-07:00

Finally good news, i got some money together. Which mean, ill go buy new comp. Say it this way: Athlon 2500+ isnt bad processor.. for use in office. BUt to play on machine 4 years old is nearly impossible. Hope that new one will be same stable as this one.. I used that say 3 full years within those 4 last.. Mean 3 years of 24/7/365 running heh.

Pepole in USA are really mad

2007-05-05T16:41:00.000-07:00

After some masacres at schools, student created map for Counter Strike, showing his school. And what than happend? He was investigated by police, and than (after found innocent) kicked out of school. Poor chinese boy.. His problem is probably fact, that mad Cho Sung Hu played CS also. Now US society believes, that everybody playing CS is potencial insane multi killer.
Btw, about Cho Sung:
Fact a) he shouldnt been there. His parrents should remain in Korea, Cho should cultivate rice (or what) and all can be happy, including 30 innocent people.
Fact b) He was deffinitelly not 100% normal, but think he wouldnt do what he did, under another circumstances. He was like rat in corner, poor animal, whom nobody feed, nobody pet, only kick into it. Think its nice to have fun, when schoolmate talks strange english, but to dig at him few years must result in violence. Only common people solve this by punching few noses, not killing people.
Fact c) who read his plays? I did it.. Ya, they are violent, but showing pure life. Life where people dont like you, real life, which sucks. Think if Cho ddint turned insane, he may be great writer one day. There is so much truth, so much pain. (Btw, in US schools there are counsellors everywhere (even in South Park), why wastn such student with ruptures soul sent there?)
Fact d) Its really sad what happend, but think most people just relax playing violent games.. Nobody knows how ¨much of those (now) innocent people can go insane, and shoot real people, if they dont abreact self by shooting virtual people.

Only few screens today

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. again

2007-03-30T10:13:00.000-07:00

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was one of most expected games last few years. Or, better said, last 2 years, because sooner nobody suspected, that game will be really finished. Ya, nobody suspect Ukrainians to be able create anything. But, attractive world (based by real landscape after nuclear catastrophe) combined by good scifi story made many people waitihng, and holding breath. So, how looks that game in real? Seems its ok, but there are few problems. a) game is mostly fps, so dialogues are little plain. Those who expect to takl half an hour with 1 character will be displeased. b) sometimes other stalkers will join you, but they mostly die, because are artificial idiots, not inteligents. c) problems with ammo. Its not said which ammo you need to which wepon, etc. But, even with those problems it seems stalker is great game, probably best what came from former Soviet Union. (no, tetris is the best.. but stalker is really good)

Fresh (adn some elder) news

Warhammer 40K online?

2007-03-23T03:23:00.001-07:00

Its about half a year, when rummors about possibility of creating game from WH 40k world, to be played online appeared. And now THQ officially announced, that Vigil studios in Texas really working on it. Seems very interesting, but to be honest, i cant imagine how that should work. Maybe something like WOW, but you will be in tyranid or space wolf, instead of in knight? Lets wait for more info.

BTW: when i seek that info on official THQ page, i seen there another great thing. ANd this is really fresh, because it happend today: STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl is finally available in shops. And thats really fine, because (by all photos and by people who had chance to play it already) its really cool game, and we will probably remember it for a long time.

Lineage II Interlude

(Btw really nice game, im also playing it) New chapter should bring new worlds, new monsters, new quests, new items (they promise 15000 new items). HOpe that this game will be ready soon, i cant wait to play it. (And hope thet until they release it, ill have new computer, because of really need it.)

Online playing: guilds

2007-02-05T15:53:00.000-08:00

Guilds of fractions or clans, or how are they called in your game. No matter of name, they represent groups of players, bind together. There are usually some contests or fights, allowing to guilds show whos boss here. This is all about prestige. To be (even last) member of good guild means, that people will look at you different way. (it works also backward, if you lead shitty guild, people who knows will look at you, as on poor relative) And to be in guild also means some people will hate you, just because where you are. And BIG problem is, that they might kill you without warning, and until you know whos enemy, you wouldnt know why that player was after you.

Choose your style

2007-01-20T23:14:00.000-08:00

When playing. How to get things and money? Choose is yours, there are much possibilities, but when you choose path of criminal, every time think, its not nice to steal from fellow players. Ya, there are people who deserve to be kick into head, but its not nice to steal, even from them. (And not wise, in many games, scammers are being banned) But to be fair, when friends caught one of our enemies afk, they lured monsters onto him, (and revived every time he died) until he lost nearly all his equipment, pricing many milions in local currency. It took him say 2 months to rebuild it all.. Ya, that make me happy, but if they had used any trick, how to break into his account, and stolen those things, it really wouldnt be fair. Not mentioned, that thievery (scaming) is really not wise, when target lives in same country (or even city). Think he can discover who did it, get angry and go personally kick your ass.

Feelings during playing

2007-01-18T08:25:00.000-08:00

Its important, how you feel, when playing your char. If you create hero, but with characteristics and abilities, which dont fit you, it maybe powerfull, but you wouldnt ejnoy playing vith him (her). Otherwise you may enjoy much more playing with weak char, but better matching your needs. Just week ago i started playing Oblivion again, and this time made an experiment. Didnt created pure warrior, (blade, heavy armor, armorer, block etc skills) but something i thought will me mage within heavy armor and sword in hands. Played it few days, and char become something else. Now he can summon really big creatures to help, have BIG sword, good armor, casting great shield on self etc. Really nice piece of hero, cause on start of combat he summons help, and than (with his dremora lord) they kill everything. And yes, playing with such char is much more funny, than playing war, who can only chop heads.

Online gaming: Leveling

2007-01-07T15:46:00.000-08:00

There are 2 different ideologies about how to take high level with your character. One says: Kill as strong creatures as you can. It will give you much experiences, but at cost of high risk of dying. Compared with killing creatures at your level you will also gain more gold from each, better things etc. But you will attack one monster for even more than minute, running around, using mana or health pots etc. Second way how to take exps says: Atack weaker monsters. You will get less exps, things and money from each, but together, considering you are killing them fast, they can give you same (or only slightly less) exps like high level monsters, and there isnt risk of dying. Even high level PKERS (Player killers) are going much less into areas for lower level players, because they have better loot from bodies of murdered high levels. And low level pker is the 1 you can ignore, when you are at higher level than he is. But do not underestimate low level players. They can have powerfull friends, or even can be at high level wearing only low level things. (Its really surprize when pker atacks somebody who looks to be at lvl 40, and sec later this char wears his normal 100 lvl gear, and burns pker into smoking patch. At least i love that.)

Happy new year

Hm, i thought there will be some news, just after new year, but it seems that everybody are still drunk or dead. Not even single word about games. Hope this silent time will soon end, or there will be no new games to play. Just say its bad time now, and go sleep, and hope it will be better.

Shit

2006-12-24T21:07:00.000-08:00

Sory for that word, i hate when i have to speak such coarse words, but im really pissed up from this blogger system. Problem is, that when you write something, and blogger uses on your blog thois character recognize protection, and you forget it, and press enter, this whole shit saves your article asi concept, not publis it, so you will think people reading that, and they see blog in state as was half month ago. Really annoying, or not? Ill kill people who started such system.. Those who uses bots will use them more, and pople really writing articles there can go to hell? Can you see any logic in this?

Online games: frustration

2006-12-14T17:22:00.000-08:00

Dont mess together game world and real one. You need to live in real world, cant only exist in game. Because there will be days, you are so frustrated, that you can think even about suicide. Dont do that, its not way of hero, you are in game.. Still remember that its only game. Even if your favourite character is pked and even if lost something from equipment, remember its only game. Even in moment i met now. That admins changed nearly everything in game in one moment, and they really screwed it up, life must go on. Think about it.

Attack on Pearl Harbor

2006-12-08T08:10:00.000-08:00

Game should be ready during Q1 of next year, but nobosy knows exact date. Hmm, think there is already too much such ames, but this doesnt mean it will be bad game.

2006-12-02T01:54:00.000-08:00

Suppose you now reached some decent level, (say at least 1/3 of maximum) and its time to look for some good equipment, powerfull weapon and good armor. There is only way how to do this, kill many creatures and pick up what they drop. First you have to know, which things are valuable, and what is priceless shit. Go to local marketplace, look what things are being sold here, and for which prices. talk with friends about prices, before you sell anything. When somebody see you pick up thing, and tell you: ill buy it for xxx, you can be pretty sure it cost much more. And after you got some monetary reserves, you should time to time run around markets, looking for those who sell under normal prices. (Those people dont have to be noobs, maybe they just found namy things, and need money, so they sell cheap, maybe even 50% discount. So you can buy it, and sell still under common price, and gain nice profit pretty fast. If you are really lucky, you may even meet somebody who sells thing (things!!) for tens of thousands, while it worths milion (s).) First things you need as good as it can be are weapons. No matter if you play character class prefering melee such as warrior, or ranged atack as mages or archers are, faster kill=more exps in same time, faster kill=less damage you may take, because creature simply cant atack you when is dead. Armor also need to be good, but mostly you can play well with armor which is good, not excelent. Week ago, i read article written by some weakling, who recomended not to do (buy) best possible weapons until you are really powerfull character even without them. To be honest, i suppose hes idiot, because you really need them. of course, when you want really play, not to be one of those who just stand in cities and beg powergull chars to be leveled.

Beware of cheaters, they are everywhere. Just today morning one of scamming bastards was trying to scam my friend. He was pretending hes game admin, and that he need friends account details, to check something at his acc. And after that, he was threatening, that he will ban his account. Of course it was only cheater, not real admin, but it was test of perception. Ill bet that within day or two he will find hit victim, and rob whole char. Real admins a) dont need to ask you about password, if they need it, they will just look into database. B) their own unique attributes, say special face, special name, special abilities. Dont believe somebody who dont have those. And all those, cause maybe some cheater discovered hot to make admins name for example, but not look as admin should, and cant do what admin can. Really beware, dont give you account name or password to anybody you dont know, and dont trust. Cheaters are all around. Another nice trick is to make character with name similar to name of your husband of wife, and to pretend hes your spouse. Many people will give their data to such bastard. (and of course, 5 minutes ago they are naked and poor) Just sy it once again. your password is sacred, dont give it to anybody you dont trust.

2006-11-12T11:45:00.000-08:00

Basic leveling.. In most games advanced players can help you to get onto some decent lvl by way they accept you int group, and than they go kill strong creatures (for you strong, they kill them like chickens) and you got much experiences. Even in games where this way of leveling noobs issnt supported (noob is low leveled newcomer, who dont know much about game) you will get much exps, because of numbers of killed beasts. (I played once something, where level differences between characters in group xould be max 8 lvls. But when group started 8 lvl, added 1 lvl nooby and 15 lvl damager, they could immediatelly go to lvl 10 creatures, and even with negative bonus exp this way you could do lvl 10 within 10 minutes at most. Manually it took 2 hours..) So, its all about how experiences are being distributed in different games. Not only when somebody lvls you, its about your own work.. Different games uses different ways of exp gains. Some games gives you few exps for hitting creatures, and much for killing it.. Easy way how to lvlup there is to ask friend to hit such monster, and than jump off.. and you can nearly dead creature finish, and have exps. In games where you got only few exps from killing, but much more from each his its harder. Either got some decent equip and help from friend and kill them by hand, or go to creatures which can your friend kill easilly, and let him kill thousands of them. This is one of reasons, why go to game where you have friends, but its not the only way. In most of games are people friendly, and to question: Please, im new here, how can i do this or that.. thay will respond. But pls, be nice to them.. dont demand something, or beg when they ignore you. Just find somebody who will have time to talk with you, and that let him to explain you how to do everything. And maybe he will help you even with some finances or equip. (If you feel rich, when you picked up 10000 gold (or silver, dollars, coins, no matter of name) on lvl 5, count that character on lvl 50-60 is probably poor when have only hundreds of thousands in local currency. So they can help you, of course, and if you are nice to them, thay will probably do it.. But demanding money: You must give me, cause you are rich and im poor.. will probably end that this guy will chop your head off, and maybe will remember you for long tima as bastard, who should be ignored or killed on sight.

2006-11-09T15:24:00.000-08:00

OKi, so you now know which game you wnat to play, have downloaded (bought) game client, installed, configured etc. Next step is to create character you will play. In some games it is easy (say only 2-3 different jobs, no races, no abilities, no stats) in others you will see big tables of different stats, pictures of humans, elves, orcs.. This allows to create much more personal character, but because you dont know what those numbers means, count your first char will be probably useless. Final step in creating character is name. In most games are forbidden rude words, so characters named "asshole" or "fucker" will be probably soon deleted by admins. And there is one more thing.. You cant change name later, so choose wisely. Absolutelylast will be question, if you really want to create such character. Answer yes will bring you into game. (to be continued)

2006-11-01T02:50:00.000-08:00

Hey, im here again, didnt died, didnt lost. Only was sick, so i cant write. SO, lets talk again about those online games. First i said, try game where you have friend, but maybe i should say: First try game which is for free. That is because most people become addict on online games, so try first such game, which wouldnt attack your wallet. Or at least not from beginning. (Dont mean trial time, which some games offer, you will surely play longer, and than got bill.) In many games, there are possibility how to buy some items from game creators. Its easy, they provide game for free, but they have to get money somehow. Think, this is the best way, because you dont have to buy this, its possible to play long time and make good char and good equip on it, without paying single $. (I know it, i was playing half a year, before invested real money into my char. And she wasnt underequipped, at that moment, she had better things than many players around.) There is also much easier way, how to have good char, with top quality equip. To buy it from player who wants to leave game (or just want to earn money..) but there are some problems: A) security risk.. Most games have some secondary password, id, throught which can original owner still access account. Even if you change password. That means if you meet scammer (or just say thief) he will give you his character, and take it back in hours or days. And you lost your own real money. B) Money.. They arent easy to earn, so you shouldnt spend them easily. And high level char with good gear cost hundreds of $. And of course, top level char witch excelent things cost surely more then thousand of bucks. c) Unexperienced. Not char, you. You would buy it, and dont know anything about how to play high level char. You will probably spend much time learning where to go, what to kill, how to earn enough game money to repair your things etc. And finally d) You dont know anything about your new characters history. Even if you succesfully bought it, you dont know, if just that char isnt well known cheater, pker or scammer. You may be surprized that unknown people will kill you with words "You know why" or "Revenge" or such. Or just dont want to trade with you, take you into team or guild, or even dont talk with you. Ya, there are many problems with bought characters. (To be continued..)

Neverwinter nigths 2 soon

How to play online I

2006-10-18T17:08:00.000-07:00

Beware, this article shouldent be about how to shoot somebody in CS (or another FPS) but just little howto about RPGs. Most of them are fantasy, so you will play knight, mage etc. But: How to start? And how not became addict? I remember there was affair about RPGs few years ago, when one boy borrowed character from another, than sold his sword (in game) and original owner took real sword, and gutted that second boy like fish. It gave big arguments into hands of people who need to forbid everybody everything. They immediately took opinion, that all games are bad, and its needed to forbid them. Fortunately those people are only minority, so games still goes on. So, what you need to do, if want play something with real people, instead of computer opponents only? First choose what to play. Pretty good is, when you have in that game friend, with advanced character. He can advise you how to start, where to go. GIve you money (strong characters in all games earns hundred times more gold than weak. If you got 10 golds from creature on level 1, you can be sure, that your friend when kills creatures on 50 or more gain in few seconds thousands. Same is situation with equipment. If you need good equip for level say 10, its hard for you. But friend on 50 can go and kill creatures dropping equip you need like chickens.) So, first recomendation is: As first online RPG try game, where you have some friends. After you have soem experiences, you may try more games, make there new friends etc. But as noob follow somebody more experienced. To read game manual also isnt bad. It gives you idea, if that game really is, what you want to play. Cause it can contain things you would hate (such as game graphics style, efects, maps, character classes) and such game is nonsense even to try. (huh, i thought about making little article, and it went a little longer. i will cut it into parts..)

Caesar IV

2006-10-17T11:51:00.000-07:00

CD Projekt finished works on long time expected title: Caesar IV is ready to be released. Hm, that is nice.. They worked on it for long time.. But i heard from friends which already had chance to play it, that whole game is shitty. One of them, really big fan of caesar serie told me, that game looks nice, all graphics are cool, good music. But it cant be played. He said that after few hours he decided to delete it from hdd, and installed old Caesar III instead. But i still cant wait, until i will see it throught my own eyes.

Hey, nothing about games today?

2006-10-15T01:58:00.000-07:00

No, but it will be only a little thought about hardware and software. Its only few days since Nvidia announced their new mobile High end gpu chip. Its name is GeForce Go 7950 GTX, and it will be leader of group of chips manufactured by 90 nm process. By Nvidia will chip eat only 45 W, which is really good. (chip, what will take rest of card? emmories etc..) And second is thought about prepared Windovs Vista. About their 3D enviroment. Its nice that you can turn all your windovses into different angles, its wonderfull that you can place it one over another. But ill bet, that 9 of 10 users will made horrible desktop, not usable to abything. Why? Because it is good idea to transform desktop into 3d, and use gpu to compute it, instead of cpu. But you can still have same desktop, only made by another chip in computer.. Or you can made mess of rotated windovs, which will load both, cpu and gpu to 100% at office work.

Settlers 6

2006-10-12T03:05:00.000-07:00

Ubisoft oficially announced that they (Blue Byte for them) is now working on settlers 6. Amazing number of parts, but without changes which force old players to leave. Settlers are still better and better. Maybe because of still same team do them, and Blue Byte dont want to destroy their child. Sory, didnt find any pictures about.. probably arent released yet.

Also from Ubisoft came news that in November they should release datadisk for Heroes of Might & Magic V. It will be named Hammers of Fate, and is being deveoped by Nival Interactive.

The Sims 2: Pets

2006-08-04T22:11:00.000-07:00

By Electronic Arts are developers from Maxis working on 4th datadisk for their popular game The Sims 2. It bears name Pets, and it will be (as name says) about animals in Sims world. Do you want any pet, to make your Sims happy? Dog, cat or say parrot? Why not, just choose color of that new pet, and put it in flat. But beware, pets have to be raised, as in real. Or they can go and destroy furniture, flowerbed or just do problems. And: even animals would be able to send into work: dog can watch, another animals can be to showbusiness.

But that is only minimal, suggeted are: dualcore processor, 7800 or 1800 graphic and 1.5 gigs of ram. Incredible.

During campaign we will take many different planets, colonize them, build there bases, orbital defences etc.. All planets will bring different bonuses, probably based on its size and type (Something like Master of Orion maybe?) And for those who dont like single player it will be multiplayer supporting up to 10 players. Game should be released this year.

Microsoft ended all support for Windows ME and 98.

Scientists tried to cover DVD by protein called Halobacterium salinarum, it should drastically increase its capacity. There are still some problems with it, b ut it seems that normal DVD should contain 50 terabytes of data.. (Really nice space. I think that nobody have drive so big, to burn such data at once.. Maybe it can be used to backup whole servers..)

Microsoft is still ignoring orders from European Union to give source codes and specifikations of all their software to another software developers, so they can do their work better. By EU is that really bad, and Microsoft should pay penalty of 280 milions of Euro. Lets hope that somebody will really force MS to paly fair game.

Oblivion is god

2006-04-19T11:20:00.000-07:00

Month after releasing TES: Oblivion in our country i must say its really super game. Graphic looks great, even on machine that meets only minimal requirements and so i have to had all details cut, shadows off, grass off.. Really nice, only few scenes in imperial prison and also somefaces looks strange (most of effects is based on shadows, when you have shadows cut to minimum..) Also story is good, nice are quests you meet all around, only it seems to me that land can be little bigger, and many quests are shown at compass, so you can only follow arrow (and when it came to phase when arrow disappear you feel uncertain) but sometimes its verry useful. About leveling, first character was of course only testing, made 7 levels with it, and than deleted, and make another one. Its because there are many differences between Morrowind and Oblivion. (but about them i will talk tomorrow)

Last day to Oblivion

2006-03-27T11:44:00.000-08:00

I cant wait for tommorrow. Game is ordered, and i hope that it can be delivered tommorrow. Or at least day later. So hope i will be able soon tell here how it look in reality. Only thing i fear is that my copmuter meets only minimal requirements for game, hope i wont have to go buy new graphic card. (But if i have to, powerfull graphic card cost 4000 crowns (our financial unit, its 170$) situacion is similar that those when i want play UFO 3, it forced me to install windows 95. And on 270 Mb drive, it was 100Mb of windows and 140 Mb of game.. after i recieve Oblivion and test how it will work on my GF 5200, lets try it.) Hope next day i will scream here how great game is it.

Age of Empires III datadisk

2006-03-25T07:00:00.000-08:00

Ensemble Studios are preparing new datadisk for age of Empires III, called The WarChiefs. So, what we can expect form it? All three new nations will be indians, seems authors find indians easy to make, or mission designating. One of those nations will be iroquese, hopw they will will be nice and brutal. (btw, they will use many european inventions, such as original indians.) And also many events in missions should be true history. (Hey, i want box of whisky and sme arrow packs, and go buy manhattan!) AUthors of course want to release it as soon as possible, but they also dont want release incomplete and untested game, so it should be available during autumn.

Oblivion is here

2006-03-22T15:00:00.000-08:00

Third Elder scroll game called morrowind is past. King is dead, hail the king, its next part called Oblivion was released. Only problem is, that in our country it will be available at 27 th, so i have to wait few more days to buy it. Must say, videos i seen looked really wonderfull, but how it will run at GF 5200 graphic card? Probably slow and problematically, but i want it. I promise big article about it within few days, so be patient please.

Half-Life 2: Episode 1

2006-03-01T08:53:00.000-08:00

Today we should talk something about currently developed game, Half-Life 2: Episode 1. It is datadisk for Half-Life 2, but it should work without original game, so you dont need to own HL2 to play it. That is good, but who will play datadisk, without playing original game? Story is of course dark, as we are used to see in HL, by authors singleplayer should take something between 4 and 6 hours of play, (which is not much, but i am not top player and can do original halflife in 5 hours, so if they want say that this datadisk will contain story of lenght about original HL..) It sholud cost 20 Dollars, and package will also contain HL2 DM and HL DM: Source, so you will really taky something worth of your money.

divno

2006-02-05T18:35:00.000-08:00

Policie se na korupci na ministerstvu zahraničí zaměřila, když byl Srba obviněn z přípravy nájemné vraždy novinářky Sabiny Slonkové, která o něm psala. Za plánování vraždy byl Srba pravomocně odsouzen k osmiletému vězení [celá zpráva], nejvyšší žalobkyně však podala dovolání, v němž žádá přísnější trest. Jsem svým způsobem spokojen, protože nám soud dal za pravdu. Na druhou stranu si myslím, že to, co musí vydavatel zaplatit, je pro něj minimální částka, takže bude o mě a ženě klidně znovu psát ve stejném duchu. Tiskový zákon je u nás příliš liberální, nikde ve světě by si takovou špínu nedovolili," řekl Právu Michal. Festival zahájí kočárová jízda

Today

2006-02-02T19:44:00.000-08:00

Wont appera here news about any game. Its just empty words, cause i updated today every blog i own, this is last and i dont have idea what to write. Just only some words, about situacion when you should do some work, and play game instead of it. I cant recomend soch things, its direct way how to get fired from job where are you. Good night.

Crashday

2006-02-01T06:05:00.000-08:00

Atari released demo of action racing called Crashday. (being developed by Moon Byte Studios) It contain two single player modes, Stunt Show (where you do tricks in arena to collect points, and Wrecking Match, where you have to destroy opponents cars (by machine gun and some type of bazooka. Also multiplayer is supported. Demo version contain 2 cars, in full version, there will be 12 cars and 26 "race" tracks. Demoversion have 300 MBytes, and its function is limited up to 50 runs. BTW: it reminds me something, remember Carmageddon? Splash bonus when kill many people sliding? Cunning stunt bonus when dropped onto pedestrian from top of some crate? Think taht somebody from Moon Byte played it long time ago..

Guild Wars:Factions

2006-01-31T12:02:00.000-08:00

MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online RPG) are still more and more popular. And between them is gaining popularity one called Guild Wars, which (probably due to alck of monthly fee) is main competitor to Phenomenal World of Warcraft. Now is being prepared datadisk for it, and probably good is, that to play it you wont need original game. LEts look closer at it. It should contain Observer mode, which will allow you to look at other players in action. (Nice, that mean if you found wonderfull way how to earn big money and cause of them be king with best equip, any looser who will watch you can steal you your wonder. it will probably bring advance to bad players, and those good who think will loose.) There will be new continent, Cantha. That is good, every new location is allways good. And two new characters, Assasin (used to assasinate directly face to face) and Ritualist (probably calling out demons, who will kill his victim from long range, sounds very good.)

Some screens from Mark of Chaos

2006-01-30T22:51:00.000-08:00

Mark OF Chaos is continuation of known Dawn Of war strategy. So its from world of Warhammer, and main story is about those who are good, and those bad. Said another way: You are the only good, kill everything, that is chant of empire champions. They are chosen champions of human race, they know well how to protect others from heresy, weakness and bad thoughts. (Best way how to clean bad thinking out of head is to cut head off, best way how to get rid of pain from being ruptured by chaos, is to kill that poor mutant mercifully and fast. Those are methods of imperial knights, champions of good.) But there should be many more armies, and all of them playable, so you can even try to lead chaos horde to victory over empire. Those pictures looks really great, just hope you wont need to buy new computer to run game properly.

Short news

2006-01-27T05:51:00.000-08:00

It is being speculated that is being worked on The SIms 3. (Its not official, but because of sucess of Sims and Sims 2 we can be pretty sure that Sims 3 will exist, sooner or later.)

Bethesda gained rights to amke game from Startrek universe, so they are now preparing Star Trek: Legacy. It should be finished in September.

GMX are working on datadisk for IL-2 Forgotten Battles. It will bring us new missions and be released in February.

Medieval 2: Total War!

2006-01-25T00:12:00.000-08:00

It sounds good. Total War serie will continue in second part. What it will bring?
On battleplain can be about 10000 people.
There will be multiplayer.
Detailed buildings damages.
Better siege.
And of course, more detailed graphics with better effects.
(Not talked about better artificial inteligence, authors dont speak about it, but its probable)

How will looks new games?

2006-01-22T13:40:00.000-08:00

Good question, but i think that we have enough experiences to answer. In last 10 years (yes, its only ten years) we advanced from games in vga to games in resolution 1600*1200. From 2d handpainted graphics (or pre rendered 3d, those computers didnot have enough power to compute 3d space in real time) to graphics 3d, still more and more photo realistic. (Not go far.. pictures from Conan few posts down, that dorrest looks wonderfull, and sure in coming years that engine will be outperformed by another one.) so we can expect games looking wonderfull, but needing more and more powerfull pcs (or consoles). But really bad seems me that some types of games disappeared. Todays child dont know anything about handpainted adventures, flyer simulators who didnot contained perfect physical details, but were playable. I tried to find for you pictures from shanarra, one of best looking adventures ever. But its not to be found. Sorry, those pictures were wonderfull.

GTR 2

2006-01-21T09:45:00.000-08:00

Creators of racing game GTR (SimBin) are now working on its next part called originally GTR 2. They said we should wait for new graphics, excelent physical modell, weather influencing all and realistic damage system (not talking about supposed many hours of fun). Just hope they know what are talking about.

Medal of Honor: Airborne.

2006-01-20T09:46:00.000-08:00

Probably for many people is good to hear of preparing new game from serie Medal of Honor. It will bear name Medal of Honor: Airborne, and its about Boyd Travers, who will perform parachute drop behind enemy lines under your control. How many missions it will contain is not known, but probably many. We all can hope game will be ready within this winter, so lets wait for it.

Heroes of Might and Magic 5

2006-01-17T11:32:00.000-08:00

a, they are described Heroes of Might and Magic V, in roman numbers, but to me seems normal 5 better. They seems to be continuation of previous parts without any experiments in game principles. Only graphics should be better, and also spell effects. Lets hope we can play it soon, i must admit love those.

Age of Conan

2006-01-12T07:41:00.000-08:00

Game Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures should contain new technology, creating in real time some effects on trees, rocks etc.. which than should look like in real nature. just look, there are some pictures from it: (i resize them to reasonable resolution, they were brutally big..) Also problem is, that for running such game you will probably need new computer.

Demo of game Vivisector

2006-01-04T12:39:00.000-08:00

It seems that some games could be strange. Vivisector:Beast inside is game inspired by novell called Island of doctor Moreau and it seems really be strange, as i could say, because there is demoversion of that game appeared on web dew days ago. I think that this will be strange game for strange people.

What gifts did you recieved? if you reading this, probably you are players, so i suppose al teast one game appeared under christmas tree (or in bag, pack, not important where..). I got a little odl Doom3 from my mom, and than discovered taht my doubts if my comp is strong enough for it have no reason. It runs pretty, (of course, not so fast as could on new machine, but 2k5 Athlon with 512 ram and 5200 Nvidia is enough.) Just hope you enjoy games you taken.

Merry Christmas

2005-12-24T04:30:00.000-08:00

I want to wish you Merry Christmas, and also Happy new year, because its pretty probable i wont write here anything until 2006 year begin. Its because i know i will get (as present) Quake 4, and so i am going to púlay, not write about it. Be happy, dont have any troubles today.

Dead players in Korea

2005-12-23T03:18:00.000-08:00

Two Korean game players died. Doctors think that problem was in darkness, bad air and smoke in gaming houses together with exhaustion frm playing many hours every day lead to easy collapse. Yes, somewhere it can be problem, but playing home is probably much less risc.
