I'm out

The RTSGU is dead and I'm leaving GS

I'll probably only log onto GS to visit the fallout union.

Here is my new blog.

There isn't much of any interest yet, but I'll probably post more often there then I did here

We are endlessly grateful to the users for their support and assistance," said Adam Oldakowski, Managing Director of GOG.com. Don't wait, create your GOG.com account and dive into the world of ****c PC gaming.

The Blog to end all blogs

So... it's been awhile since my last blog and the reason for this is simple because I rarely find the time to go online anymore

So my games collection keeps growing (though I can't find much time to play any of them) and I recently got my WAR CE and this has made me face a real problem.... I have a short attention span...

I've also bought a ton of games at GamersGate, but I'm too lazy to write them down

Also the final version of Mount & Blade is out

let's see what more......

oh yes, HP is the definition of Hardware randomness trust me I fix this crap every day

I'll add more later if something else comes to mind

[Insert F-word or other obscenities]

So GS is really [Insert F-word or other obscenities] with my head atm, more then ever. Now it won't even let me post replys in the forums.... like [Insert F-word or other obscenities].

So here is my reply to the Fallout 3 CE thread

I pre ordered but Gamestop cancelled my order because I couldn't get to a [Insert F-word or other obscenities] fax machine fast enough.... like who the [Insert F-word or other obscenities] in their right minds demands their customers to [Insert F-word or other obscenities] FAX them their credit card statements. I bet the IT dep. people at gamestop where ROFL'ing so friggin hard when the [Insert F-word or other obscenities] that are in charge of gamestop decided that people had to use [Insert F-word or other obscenities] stone age technology to send a [Insert F-word or other obscenities] piece of paper that states that they have the money to buy the game.... ok so.... do people that don't have money like log onto Gamestop.com to buy games even though they know they don't own ****

anyways I'm never trying to buy anything from gamestop again, from now on I'm only using CDON.com and maybe Free Record Shop(mostly because they are right next to my appartment) when I have to have that one game ASAP

and if this is the way it going to be, both the Fallout 3 CE and Gamestop can just sod off

Happy Labor day

So it's the norwegian labor day well actually it's soon over... but anyways I've had the whole day off work and I'll be having tomorrow of work aswell although I have to make up for that next week

PS. I bought GTA IV.... it's really good

EDIT:

It just dawned on me how ironic the name of the labor day is since everyone in the private sector(that is sane of mind ) and most none essential people in the public sector don't do a damned thing the whole day

Currancy, Pizza and GS UK

So I'm bored out of my mind, it's been a LONG week of vacation going back to work tomorrow, looking forwards to that

so anyways currancy, pizza and GS

I bought some MWU T-shirts today and I noticed the current value of the USD s***ty as it is the exchange rate (USD/NOK) is at 1/5.14 atm which is actually up a couple of points since this morning and what that transelates into is pretty much freebies from the US

let's put some perspective on it, 1/5.14 can be transelated into 1 VDG = 4 Pizzas or 8 1.5L Coke (steam VDG prices). now that might not seem like much, but considering the fact that a retail game here costs approx. a hundred USD, meaning you could get 50 pizzas or 100 1.5L bottles of coke for the price of one retail VDG.... that's just sick (I know my maths are a little of here, but we're talking approx. prices)

Now imagine this.... the USD/NOK hits 1/1..... that would be AWESOME, atleast in the short term but taking into account that it would mean the total collapse of the US economy and way of life.... it wouldn't be all that great

okay, so anyways bottom line is I would like to know how the s***ty dollar rate is affecting you guys, not only the US peeps but the rest of you guys aswell

okay, onto other stuff

The GS guys over in the UK got a show of their own similar to On the Spot, check it out

Start/Select

EDIT:

Here's the DoW2 preview..... :hush: don't tell the mods

and some more details about the 40k MMO

Happy Rant :P

I've been working alot lately, but I've still found the time to start playing EVE which is a pretty good MMO

I've bought an assload of games lately, so here's the once I can remember over the top of my head:

Colin McRae: Dirt (PC)

Puzzle Quest (PC)

Naruto Rise of a Ninja (Xbox 360)

Blacksite (PC) which btw isn't even close to as good as the original Area 51 game

probably some more too but I can't remember

and I also bought my brothers PS2 just so that I can play FF12

Fallout Rant

(A blog post for hardcore Fallout fans by a hardcore Fallout fan)

This is a collection of rage that has been building up for some time and I just had to get it of my shoulders

Now if anyone on the Fallout 3 dev team reads this I'm sorry (kinda), I know you people work hard to make good games and so you might belive your games are the best in the world and I can't blame you for that. you've used countless hours making and fine tuning your games, but as far as I'm concerned Oblivion was a piece of glorified crap.

Now after a game like Oblivion which I personally don't like, it's hard to imagine BethSoft making a good fallout game and not some glorified **** that caters to the mainstream gamers that at occasions seem like a bunch of graphics whores that don't give a damn about the depth, story, re-playability etc. of a game aslong as it has great graphics.

Fallout fans have been pissed on by Interplay and people that don't know a great game when they see one too many times, and here we are waiting to see if Bethsoft cares about the Fallout fans or if they're just going to piss on use like so many other have in the past.

Fallout died after Fallout 2.... well to be fair Tactics was okay, but okay isn't good enough for a fallout game and don't get me started on Brotherhood of steel for the Xbox and PS2, that game was a real piece of **** It actually in comparison makes Oblivion look like the god of RPGs. And yes I know BoS (PoS) was an action game and not an rpg, but that only adds to the crappyness and none falloutness of the abomination that is BoS.

And as I type this Interplay is trying to fund another game that most likely will not only piss on the fallout fanbase, but screw the entire Fallout IP and really their short name for it says it all: FOOL, yea that's what they're calling the Fallout MMO.... FOOL.

To wrap this up I'll say that I don't belive Bethesda has what it takes to make a good Fallout game, but I sincerely hope they do make an awesome Fallout game and I wish the Fallout 3 dev team the best of luck

Recap

So to recap resent event's:

I buildt a new rig for myself 2.4GHz intel quad core, 4GB DDR2 RAM 800 MHz, XFX nVidia GeForce 8800GT 512MB and a 2.1 Labtec sound system and I bought Vista Premium, since my Ultimate version was a pirated dell trial version and from that experince I can say that ultimate is a total rip-off

other then that I've bought Mass Effect which is AWESOME and I've bought Hellgate which is quite good aswell

and a good friend of mine has moved in instead of my cousin which moved back home

and that pretty much sums it up, sorry I'm not more active

anyways I just bought the Witcher which is AWESOME, best RPG in atleast 9 years and I re-discovered Mount & Blade which is the coolest indie game in exsistence, you can get it at www.taleworlds.com

it's just in beta but it still totally rocks

Well that's it for now
