After a long war that waged across Delve and Querious, goonswarm and Allies celebrate victory over Kenzoku.
I have a bunch of pics on another computer from some battles and such. I’ll try to get those uploaded. Cool stuff, my killboard has seen alot of action
Will be interesting to see what the future holds now that we have achieved peace
THQ did some extreme advertising with Red Faction Guerrilla here. Heh, reminds me of the promotion Ubisoft had for Brother’s In Arms whereas they gave fans a hair cut and promised them a free copy of the game.
Speaking of Red Faction Guerrilla (RFG), its a very cool game that we can’t stop playing. Good job Volition! Love playing the Multiplayer team modes such as CTF, Damage Control, and Team Anarchy. Don’t really care for the railgun snipers but I’m getting a little better handling those guys. People have gotten so frightenly good so fast it’s scary
Watched a few episodes of Wakfu anime and thought that was pretty cool. I noticed someone suggested I should list the Wakfu MMORPG in the sandbox section. I’ll check it out. But anyway, my first impression is that it doesn’t qualify due to the presence of a rigid Class structure and so forth. but still looks cool!
Taikodom is a game I’ll be adding to my list of space games however, since it seems to ofc fit into that genre quite nicely
Yesterday goonfleet and allies helped secure a tower in 0-N. Below is a picture of our fleet in warp which looks pretty cool I must say
Later on that day I went and grabbed my Ares and brought that along to the gang. Sure, it does much less DPS than Taranis but due to the very nice Warp Scram / Warp Disrupter range bonus (20% with Interceptor IV), it can perform its role very effectively. It’s like a nice highly specialized ship. Got in on a few kill mails yesterday with light damage to my ship (bout 19% armor damage sustained). Was pretty exciting…
My corp/alliance rallied and we defended our space gloriously this weekend. My killboard saw a lot of nice action. Waiting on the new patch to install right now….
This article was a great read I’ve enjoyed. Guess this old news of course. It’s just funny how far people are willing to go to make their virtual dreams come true in EVE Online.
Some good reading I’ve been checking out lately as I put on my Optimization hat. And did I forget to mention I love PiX-xbox360? Probably not, but I love it. While reading up on code optimization also came across a good article by my former colleague, Becky Heineman.
Hybrids…. This is an interesting archetype we often run into at the workplace. I suppose I’d classify as one, although I often pick a discipline/area to focus for a particular project. Most often, this has been gameplay of late.
One important note I have- during tight deadlines I think the Hybrid is the type that gets assaulted by the various disciplines as the mediator- the one that can look at the assets and/or look at code and solve mysteries. This can also be a possible weakness of a Hybrid. The specialist will refuse to cross discipline often times not installing 3d studio max if he is a programmer. The art specialist will likewise refuse to probably go into the game and tweak the scripts / data that programmers meticiously laid out for them
Anyway, I think a hybrid can find great satisfaction in Games industry due to all the various challenges that get thrown at you. And this person will no doubt find an application for all of their skills (hopefully)
So I’ve been playing around with C# programming language a bit recently. Really just poking around setting up a simple application. I’ve been pretty impressed with it so far. Code seems a bit cleaner then what I’m used to (MFC / Win32).
