December 12 Mweeehhh Yeah So I have had no time since the last blog to post anything. I had even half written a reveiw of the iPhone but like wats the pont, not like anynoe reads these things anyway. Im so pissed off, I had to leave work early today cos im sick, and now im in bed dying. Meh meh meh. Sucks ass Here i go again complaining about thing after what i said before. Well screw that, this is MY blog and I will write about whatever the hell i want to write about. Screw socuety, I can whine to the internet if i want - try to stop me Ahahahaha - i think i have been taken over by an emo after reading those last few self pitying sentence. I apologise.. Well not really but meh Go away now, its over... And i dont care about my spelling. November 19 Back to uni...Again...So. I Plan to return to university tomorrow which should be...stressful to be honest. Thankfully I shouldn't have to drive in which will save my feet some pain. I have about two weeks to do all my work, so I thought I would compile a list of things I still need to do.
But that's enough about me. I have been thinking about blogs and they shouldn't all whiny and about all of someone's perosnal problems, becuase at the end of the day, who really wants to read about problems. So I have decided I am going to try and make this informative which should hopefully mean a lot more games reviews, and possibly short tech reviews, which I shall try and make as informative and un-biased as possible. So from tomorrow I will try to makes regular blogs, in the hope that people might find it, and find it useful. I stress the word TRY because as you can see I do have a lot of work to do. If this blog fails to be successful, I may start one elsewhere. Who knows! But i know Live Spaces isn't well up in the list of 'palces to look for information.' So that's all for today, but if are reading this please check back tomorrow. I'll have something up thats new! ~PyrO November 14 Hmmm.... This is new...So yeah, I finally got around to re-installing XP on my Mac after I installed Leopard. I decided that as a test I would install some of these new Windows Live tools. As I speak I am using Windows Live Writer which is pretty nice actually though it could definitely use some refinements. Things like having the font size and type in an easily accessible place as opposed to having to go into the Format Menu. Also as I type my dog Ben is slowing going insane, belting around the living room, and being a general annoyance. I may kill him... So yeah, Leopard. There was a LOT of hype about it and in fairness, I was expecting it to be 10x better than it was, but I still like it. There are a lot of cool visual features, but also some really useful things. It's definitely a lot easier to use for non-advanced users, but some of the more advanced features, that made a Mac a Mac, have gone. The advanced firewall features aren't there, in fact I had a bit of trouble even finding the firewall settings. However, It makes up for it in networking, Connecting to Windows computers is very easy - it searches for the network computers, and they all appear in a list at the side of the finder window. Then you just click on it! But yeah, that's enough of that. Now, my absence over the last few weeks should be explained. I've been in hospital. I have missed four weeks off uni and four weeks off work so I have to spend ages working and catching up to all my university work. YAY! Call of Duty 4 has been out for days now and I still haven't got it, However I have played the PC demo and its FREAKIN' AWESOME looking. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Multiplayer is like. Also being released soon is Crysis, this week or next, and also Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance which I'm really looking forward too. Crysis is fantastic, the graphics look fantastic in DirectX 9 and better in DirectX 10 though it really does hit your Graphics Card hard. And SupCom Forged alliance...Well I really really wanted to get involved this time, but didn't have the time to play, so I think the BETA is almost over and I have played one match as the Seraphim. Anyway that's enough of the geekiness for now. I'll leave you to get on with whatever you were doing in the first place. Please check out my DeviantART if you have the time!! http://PyrO-PrOfessOr.deviantART.com ~PyrO October 12 Toothache, Programming and the like.Well, The last week has been interesting to say the least....well to say the least would be to say it was a week...thats 7 days, 5 of which im at. But not this week. This week I was only at uni 3 days, one of which is actually today
'So why the skipping of universtiy??' I hear you cry. Well because the dentist decided it would be fun to destroy my face as he was filling my tooth. OK, In fairness my dentist is very good and very nice, but I am still in a lot of pain and with the inability to yawn properly, for the blinding pain it causes in the right hand side of my face.
So I thought I would used the time off (wednesday and thursday) to get started on my programming labs. First 2 were pretty simple, no real problems. However I can see that programming on my mac is going to cause some problems (mainly due to the folder structure being so differant from windows) when im programming.
I got to lab 3 and suddenly the difficulty jumps up by about 5 stages because you have to output data to a text file....which i've never done or even have a notion about doing. So as I sit here with the daylight creeping up around me (thats right, I was in uni at 7.50am today) I know i still have fopen() and fclose() to look forward to later.
Got around to playing Crysis and its fantastic. This game is what really makes you sound in the knowledge that it was worth spending £264 on a graphics card that would run it. In fairness I didn't buy the card for the game but i am happy I have a DirectX 10 enabled card. The details on the models are fantastic and it even loks good in DirectX 9 but way better in 10. The thing i like the most is the water. Which just looks fantastic. The explosions (when you run in hugh qulaity) are amazing, with some definite physics put into them. This Game lives up to its hype.
Also signed up for the Universe at War BETA, which is a new RTS game so I'll be tryin t hat out soon and letting you (like 3 people) know how it goes.
And I got the new FEAR demo too. If there is one game I fell in lvoe with it was FEAR, so I am hoping that this game lives up to its predecessors' good names.
Thats all from me for now I think because im really running out of thing to say.
