Minecraft needs more tech. by jollyjack, journal

Minecraft needs more tech.

Feb 15, 2016

I love Minecraft. I can lose hours to it. I do wish, however, that there was more of a technological edge to it, rather than one of fantasy. Indeed, the whole magic/enchantment thing feels rather at odds with the focus elsewhere on realism and survival. There are plenty of mods that cater for this, with some going so far as to offer space travel, but they’re often glitchy and a little too focused on a specific agenda or goal, rather than acting as a toolbox for the player to work with and forge their own creations. Minecraft 2.0 is “a long way off”, according to internal sources, but I hope that it will bring more of a Civ

Factorio

Mar 1, 2016

Every now and then, a game comes along that is so much fun to play, you lose hours of your life to it. "I'll just play for a few minutes" is a phrase followed, quite some time later, by; "Holy sh*t, it's 2am!!". Games that require player creativity are usually the ones that suck me in. Minecraft was one such game. If I have time to spare, I'll still quite happily spend hours digging virtual holes and building massive fortresses. Joining it is Factorio. I first heard about this game from someone visiting my table at a convention. He said I might like it. The trailer did look nice. It had a retro visual style that reminds me of 90s era Comm

Voltron: Legendary Defender

May 14, 2016

Voltron was one of the cartoons I treated as a “big deal” when I was a kid. I watched it as often as I could. I pined for the toys. I drew lots of pictures. Etc. It….it hasn’t aged well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uS5b8aQ6z8 Ninja Turtles ruled the tail end of the 80s, but about midway through: it was all about Voltron and Inspector Gadget. Well, they f**ked up Gadget, so I didn’t have particularly high hopes when I heard they were remaking Voltron. And then I saw the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdqoQjaOGeU Holy crap, that looks awesome! Animation is being handled by Studio Mir, who brough

Overwatch by jollyjack, journal

Overwatch

May 30, 2016

It’s like Team Fortress 2, just less fine tuned and you have to pay for it. That’s an accurate assessment, but I don’t think it’s really right to compare the two because of their different approaches to development, and what the final products actually are. Team Fortress 2 was built, 100%, with gameplay in mind, right down to the visual designs of the different classes. They don’t look they way they do for purely aesthetic reasons, they look like that so each can be identified at a glance (with stupid hats on or not). You will not mistake a Heavy for a Scout. All of those brilliant “Meet the….”

The cost of entertainment. by jollyjack, journal

The cost of entertainment.

Jun 1, 2016

I’ve noticed a lot of people bitching about the cost of Overwatch. Even the cheapest purchase option available, the one that I went for, is getting flak for being too pricey for what you get. I think people are either feeling a bit too entitled or they’re not seeing the value of the product. I measure entertainment in time, and I measure entertainment time in cinema tickets. A cinema ticket will buy you, on average, between 1.5 and 2 hours of entertainment. Average cinema ticket in my neck of the woods is between £7 and £10. Using that as a base, a Triple-A video game that costs about £60 should offer at least 1

What goes on in the shadows

https://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/06/04/louisiana-gop-spirals-into-chaos-as-ron-paul-delegates-injured-arrested/ Please open this link in a new tab, as it will redirect you to a different site. This is sickening. This kind of stuff is happening and the media does not report it? Everyone thinks Romney is the sure thing for the Republican candidate, but what they don't know is Ron Paul's supporters outnumber Romney's. They don't know this BECAUSE IT ISN'T REPORTED... Unfortunately for the shadow elite, this sort of stuff gets recorded and passed on. People wake up and then they aren't so easy to manipulate...

Like Funny T-Shirts?

0 min read

I hope you do. For everyone who still pays attention to my journals (even though they may often be painful to read), this is for you! http://www.cafepress.com/ttards Check out the fine selection of T-shirt designs we have. Tell your friends about us. Heck, you might even want to buy one. They are a good value, good quality, and good grief they might make you the star of the show... the Life of the party! Wear them to parties, wear them to Walmart (and laugh at all the boring shirt wearers, then tell them where they can go to look as cool as you). We need all the publicity we can get right now. This is our third day on the market and already
