So it has been awhile since I wrote a blog last, sorry guys it's just been crazy lately with a full time job and stuff:)

So as I said I have a job as a Electronics Technician for a company called Infocare, this week I have worked mostly on TV's, man consumer electronics suck balls:| anyways next week I'll be working mostly on DVD players and recorders etc. including digital cameras:) so I'm kinda looking forwards to that:)

not much else going on atm though:| working really takes a toll on your social life, I haven't talked to any of my friends for over a week now, except for one of my friends that is also working this summer at Toyota as a mechanic.

anyways that's about it I guess, Espen out:P

So it's a long time since I last made a blog and well yea............

so on to the events of the last weeks:

I dodged a written exam then I had a vocational exam and then I dodged a oral exam and now I only have one week of school left:D

and inbetween all the exams we had a visit to the third largest gass processing plant in the world which is located about 4 miles(metrical miles that is) from were I live and that was a blast they had really good food there:D

and thats about it:)

This is a video I made as a tribute to the late Nicholas Worth who stared in many marvelous Westwood games such as Dune and Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge:) and by made I mean edited, cut and added music:P

[video=I31ilDL75b4Kuz_e]

This guys name is Bo Burnham and he's hilarious:lol:

anyways this is the best one so far

PS. some people may find this video offensive, just remember it's a satire:) 

                        RIP Nicholas Worth, our beloved Premier Romanov
                                    Nicholas Worth, 1938 - 2007

                                        Rest In Peace Comrade

 

 

In other news I'm finally level 21:)

yeah I know I couldn't care less either:P

I'm sick, so hell why not make another blog post:D

Okay so this time I'll be talking a bit about freeware games and open source games:)

 

First, Freeware games are games that the publisher or developer of said game has made free for anyone to download trough a third party publishing site such as for example www.gamehippo.com

Wikipedia on Freeware

Here is a list of freeware games and freeware databases:

Savage: The Battle for Newerth

Starsiege: Tribes and 1.11 Full patch

Freeware Home

Freeware Files

Freeware World Center

Jumbo

Freeware Guide

One or more of these site may also contain shareware (bastards:evil: )

Open Source games are games that freely share their code, but not necessarily art or models etc.

So open source games are both Freeware and open source (some commercial open source games may not be freeware)

List over Open Source Games and databases:

Battle For Wesnoth

Open Source Games for Windows

Wikipedia list

Open Directory Project

 

Well hopefully you guys will find some goodies here, my personal favorites are Battle For Wesnoth and Savage :)

 

Well I'm back, not that I was very gone:P I got sick on Friday so I didn't get to do the things I had planned:( except for getting wasted because that was on Wednesday:P anyways I'm back full time unless this damned flue gets worse :(

This week is Norways national holiday, more specifically the 17th:) anyways my point is that I'll be going home for the holiday and probably won't be back to my flat before Sunday evening, so because of that and what will probably be a horrid hangover that will last out the week and the fact that I don't have a PC (not that is any good atleast) at home I won't be as active as I usually am:)

 

see you guys next week:) I'll pop in every now and then but probably won't be posting much 

So the RTSGU mod project is starting to take shape, well the admin and PR part anyways:D

we have a home page: http://www.geocities.com/madebyrtsgu/ (still being worked on)

and a moddb profile: http://mods.moddb.com/9190/made-by-the-rtsgu/

and a forum: http://forum.moddb.com/madeby/

 

we're starting to look really pro:D

btw I'm the PR Manager of this here mod:)

So here are the reasons I think WAR is going to be great (in no particulare order)

1. It's Warhammer

2. It(Warhammer) has 25 years of backstory and development

3. Carrie Gouskos is one of the people making it

4. Paul Barnett is the Design Manager

5. Jeff Hickman is THA BOSS

6. They have a lot of fun making it

7. Games Workshop is very active in the development of the game

8. They have both money and time to do this right

9. There is no end to it (no victory, no defeat)

10. Pauls brother, that other Barnett bloke is also in on it (the beta anyways)

11. There is WAR EVERYWERE

EDIT:

12. The devs have cute Pegasuses and bunny-rabbits as avatars 

 

can you think of any other reasons this will be great?
