Zankyou no Terror

Posted on 07/02/2016 by vortex69

Short rambling post as usual, not a proper review or anything.

Also, Spoilers!!! 100% Spoiler, I pretty much just write the plot of the whole thing.

As usual I’m always late on anime, so I’m going to talk about anime from 2014. (could be worse…)
No ground-breaking opinion or insight, I just feel like writing a bit, it’s strangely cathartic.

Pretty decent anime.

7/10 at least

Since I haven’t paid much attention to anime in the last 3-4 years, I’m impervious to hype (which Zankyou no Terror had lots of)

(940 words of pure spoiling)

My old classic is reborn

Posted on 20/10/2015 by vortex69

So, back when I was in school in programming class (IT in high school, dunno how it is in other countries, but here there are these courses in public school if you want to get specific knowledge of something before college, instead of going to 10th-12th grade of a generic curriculum, you can for 10th-12th grade in IT or Media and a few others, I think they have ended those since, pity)…

As I was saying…

So today…

Posted on 11/06/2015 by vortex69

…having nothing better to do, I finally downloaded Ren’Py and started playing around with it.

The downloading part I’ve done some…10 times by now.

But I never actually started putting something together.

Yesterday before going to sleep I spent an hour or so writing a bit (as I love to, although I rarely do it nowadays); some ideas, basic premise, a bit of dialogue.
A basic layout of the endings (3 good, 1 neutral, 4 bad).

Today I grabbed some sounds for the scene I wrote, mocked a background and went at it with Ren’Py…

So I guess I’m making a VN now. Yay, me!

Another project to end up in the garbage bin in two or three months. Because I haven’t had any of those in the last years.

Or will I finish this one?

Who knows…

Strike 3! 2 more WebMs

Posted on 22/05/2015 by vortex69

2 more WebMs to the random garbage bin.

From “Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san Z” and “Binbougami ga!”.

After the jump as to keep the page mostly clean of heavy stuff.

Quick post: The Forest

Posted on 23/04/2015 by vortex69

Am I the only one who, while playing The Forest, every now and then just as he grabs two logs goes:

You’re Ahnold Schwarzenegger on steroids in…The Forest!

Why?

Because of this obviously:

*imagine there’s a youtube video here*

There isn’t because FOX goes overkill and issues a world ban on their content on youtube it seems.

Even a 40 second clip of Commando (1985, with Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a threat to their plan of world domination, or their meagre profits…or something.
If you’ve watched that film, you know fully well the clip I’m referring to as it’s the only scene that involves Arnold carrying a log, if you haven’t watched it, it’s Arnold carrying a log on his shoulder…much like the main char in The Forest, except the The Forest char does two logs at a time. Hence “Ahnold on steroids”.

But isn’t “Ahnold on steroids” just the normal Arnold?
I almost confuse myself.

Suddenly…many survival games.

Posted on 22/03/2015 by vortex69

Really, out of nowhere there’s a wave of survival games (some more realistic and complex, others a bit less complex, but survival games nonetheless)

That I can recall right now:

  • The long dark
  • The forest
  • Stranded deep

And there are probably more, I just haven’t come across them.

Small rant: State of Decay

Posted on 22/02/2015 by vortex69

This is just a really quick, simple rant.

State of Decay is probably my favourite zombie video game.

But there is one thing that annoys me in the game, one of those pet peeves you know.

The backpacks.

(yes, this is a very nitpicking rant, I’m only writing because I’m bored.)

Guess I’m lucky…or not

Posted on 02/01/2015 by vortex69

So, my (very) out dated computer finally received a slight upgrade.

From an old Core2Duo E6400 (dual core) to an equally old Xeon X3210 (pretty much the same cpu, except it’s a quad core).

Merry Christmas!

Posted on 24/12/2014 by vortex69

Well, still the 24th of December, but you know, I had to post something.

I’ve decided to use this website as a “catch all” blog/website for me.

Which means I’ll start writing about more stuff…knives/pocket knives, stationery stuff, flashlights.

You know, stuff.

Won’t have much to speak about as…well…things aren’t expensive, it’s me who doesn’t earn much.

A reason for not having done this earlier is that I know I’m a bit of an odd character and the mix of very distinct things might…damage my internet presence. (ah, such a bold move may drop my readership from 0 people to…huh, wait!…moving on)

Who knows, people might notice I’m kinda crazy and call the loony van.

Although I might add I won’t go full blown crazy (sounding, I’m well grounded after all is said and done), I have another blog for that. (as I said I am an odd character, I wasn’t joking)

So that’s all for now.

Oh, Merry Christmas and happy new year.
