Neotokyo

Greetings,

Do you love cyberpunk, especially the anime or manga versions of Ghost in the Shell or Akira? If no then fuck off from this blog....

Anyway if you like the above and are also a fan of online shooters and own steam/HL2 or any other SDK related product then I have some good news for you.

Neotokyo a HL2 multiplayer mod was just released this Friday (3/07/09), good thing i was bored today looking at random bookmarked pages I have in my BM library otherwise i wouldn't have found this out.

Check out the screenshots and videos posted, if that doesn't get you excited then you should seriously take some medication.

Pixel Art How i Love Thee

I love pixel related art, it's sort of back to basics, simple and cool. There's no limitations to it as far as i can see, take Gang Garrison the 8bit remake of Team Fortress 2 for example, it just screams awesome!! Very fun to play, reminds me of some C64 games i used to play yonks ago.




If i had the time (which i do but spend it moaning, wanking and playing TF2) i would love to try and do some pixel stuff but i know what the results will look like, a big steaming pile of dog shit. Shame really as i have some crazy images in my head (which i will never mention to any doctor).

While searching the seas of the interwebs I found the master of Pixel Art and this master is called eBoy. Check out some of his creations, click on the images for the full size, prepare yourself for awesomeness...



I really like the Tokyo one, when i have the dosh i plan on gettning the poster from his shop.

You can find more eBoy work on his website: http://hello.eboy.com/eboy/

Deviantart also has some damn good artists also, but i really hate that website as it's filled mostly with generic anime bullshit and crap photography that gets popular for some unknown reason.

On a final note i would like to have a moan. What i hate the most on TF2 are players that only play one class and nothing else hardly such as this cunt on the GTFO servers called Dest (he's in a clan but it's not worthy to mention the name on here, it'll probably disband in a few months because they suck), Dest only plays for the most part Sniper, and with his bad Engrish he likes to brag about how "amazing" he is, i want to hunt him down and cut his fingers off. He's that irritating.

Above the current and dragged under.

Why hope for the hopeless?
I'm talking from experience now, quite a bitter one at that lol, and I've noone to blame except myself. It all seems so reasonable and worthwhile at first, why not nurture some hope? especially if it seems justified....
sadly I came to the conclusion that it does no good at all infact it does nothing but lead you to a vertical cliff face and.....while you let it.... continuously throws you off.
There is a difference between false hope and hope, though it seems to me to be a very...very thin line, hence the saying... 'no hope is better than false hope'
I wish i could say i've learned my lesson or at least something from the whole thing.... but tbh i doubt i have, i still have...problems dealing with the situation.
Being fucked around really isnt fun, infact its pretty fucking annoying and selfish verging on pathetic, the only solace i can find would be the hope ( oh irony, you callous fuck) that it was unintentional. The desire to unleash malicious verbal abuse bubbles away.

Anyway on to lighter things....

HAHA right like id start talking about the brighter things in life... of which there are none!

To all of you who can drive already, some of you are retarded witless melondeaded morons. Im currently learning lol stalling onto a mini roundabout causes much amusement not to mention panic.
But christ half of you are impatient... but i do lol @ you when your bumper to bumper with me and i stall at a junction- gg
It's also true what they say about white van drivers isnt it....


Skate 2: pretty good game still has some bugs, it is EA so thats to be expected. The video editing in the games quite lush and arguably one of the most enjoyable aspects of the game, once you complete a decent line getting the camera angles and shots right is just as satisfying as nailing the line your attempting.

DoW 2 (beta): A great strategy game with a few teething problems regard to balance of units and factions, having a blast playing this with friends atm, a definite purchase when it goes gold.

Reading the Watchmen atm, before the film comes out, i must say its not what i expected and really very deep, highly recommended.

bored, rant over.
