Not that it really matters seeing how often I post :-) But my holiday to Brasil starts tomorrow. Maybe I am able to post during vacation, maybe not. I have to sea. Anyways good luck with work, good luck with school etc etc. I am off to the sun! :D

Call of Duty 4 and LAN-party

Friday, September 26th, 2008

I just retrieved my copy of Call of Duty just in time. I was invited to a LAN-party 2 days later. We have been playing Call of Duty all day. I learned a lot. Sadly my laptop was giving my a higher ping than the rest. Resulting in me being owned by the rest of the group. Having low-end weapons on my low level does not help either. But it was lot of fun. The majority of lan parties goes along with pizza/chinese food and beer. Well we had the beer, but one of the participant’s main hobby is cooking. So we had a very delicious meal!  For everything a first time :-)

About the game it self. I focus on multiplayer. I have not played single player in years, so I probably will not start  with this game. I think this game provide a very good balance in casual players and hardcore players.  Counterstrike was terrible, I walked three meters and I died right away.  The idea whit CoD is to level up from level 1 with simple weapons to level 55 with top notch weapons. The start is hard because of all the high levels in the game, but when you have your first red dot scope on a weapon, the weapon difference is reduced. Then it depends on skill… and mine is not that good :-)

It has been a while I have been playing a game for a longer period besides World of Warcraft. But I really love this game. Specially when you have only half an hour to spare, just log on and shoot the bad guys (or the good guys depending on which team you are).

Games arriving… and not arriving

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

It is announced! Wrath of the Lich King wil be in stores on November 13th. I am looking forward to this expansion pack. Finally I now have a date to look forward to. But first I will be on vacation of course.

A game that still has no “release date” for me is Call of Duty… I have ordered the game two weeks ago at play.com. But still I have not received it. I am quite anxious to start playing this game. I need to practice for the LAN parties that are planned in the near future.

Edit: Finally it CoD has arrived! Awesome game.

You have got mail

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

When living on your own, most mail is yours, instead addressed to housemates or ex-housemates. Some mail is nice to receive like a postcard from friends on holiday in the US. Some are less pleasant like bills. And finally some are just plain annoying like the two in the picture below that I received yesterday.

For the non dutch people: One is for speeding 7 km an hour: 19 euros. The other 11 km an hour: 36 euros. Waste of good money :S
