There's Another Post

Say what? Or where? On CyberD, it is clear! As the sky, as the air! There's a post, it is here. So what am I going to post about today? I'm posting because I haven't posted in a while. Reason: being busy. Solution: for a moment forgetting the workload and relaxing by a blazing screen with a cold cup of tea and a broken light-bulb in the ceiling. Maybe it's not broken, maybe it's just not turned on, but with such a vivid imagination as mine everything is possible.

So apart from the post and the other and then some... I haven't posted in a week! Why's that? Well for the most part I've been enjoying my brand new Nintendo DS... err, I mean I've been studying... for the most part.

Apart from the three games presented a while back I am now the proud owner of an additional two. Trackmania DS & Worms Open Warfare. Trackmania DS is a great game, albeit a bit glitchy. Worms Open Warfare sucks. The controls are decent, yet the playability is seriously lacking, not to mention the graphics. On my old GBA version Team 17 had pushed the graphical capabilities as far as they could go, and included an amazing amount of gameplay in a tiny package. In this game, there's less than there was in the GBA version. The random map generator may be a bit improved, but that's about it, not even the blast dynamics work like they should work. I should be fair though, and play the game for more than a couple of minutes before I give a final verdict. Maybe I missed something. Maybe there is still hope.

As for Trackmania though, it's a game I highly recommend. With around 150 unique tracks (it's not just a port from some other console, they're all new) and the ability to make your own... and play against other people... both on the same console or between consoles, either with one or two game cartridges... the game really delivers. There's a shop to buy stuff from the coppers you get when you win races. There's a puzzle mode, platform mode & of course the regular racing mode. There's three varied driving environments (as opposed to 6 on the computer version, but half is not bad) and eh... yeah, it's a great game.

What else? I spent half the weekend with buddy Bear in Norrtälje. They had some trouble with cool sewer pipes... I mean they were iced shut... so not all modern commodities were fully functional. The bathroom for one. It was a fun end of the week anyway; I had the chance to try out the multiplayer finesses of my brand new Nintendo DS, play some Wiiiii, watch a Moviiiiiie, take a walk, eat great food. Good times.

Now a new week is here and I'm back in my lair with attacks of despair in the air the new year! Is flying away, yupp, gotta get back to studying now. Later.
