My first custom Star Wars figure
Got it from Ebay.
Warhammer Online revitalized?
Or so they say.
Some friends that still play Warhammer are full of joy about the new token system that is in place.
So I decided to take a look at WAR again. And the first unfortunate thing I noticed was that for some reason, the scroll-wheel of my Razer Diamondback mouse forfeited ingame. Weird, it worked the last time I played (some two months ago…).
A quick check on Google informed me that I wasn’t the only one. And apparantly lots of people made ingame tickets about it, so I decided to do the same. And if there’s one thing you have to hand to the European support team (GOA), it’s their responstime.
I think after about ten minutes a GM contacted me about my problem. Unfortunately he couldn’t do much about it, just point me to some links about possible fixes.
After some twinking and trying to get it to work, I finally got to playing some WAR. And is it me or did they really buff the XP-gain from playing scenarios? So far I can’t say anything usefull about WAR, I’ve only done a couple of scenarios. I think I’m going to avoid PvE as much as possible, and keep my focus on the scenarios and keep wars. More on WAR after a couple of days.
PS3 Army of Two in co-op mode
Me and my brother just finished Army of Two in Co-op mode, and to make it clear from the beginning, what an unbelievable letdown.
“Army of Two is a third person shooter game focusing on the fictional story of two private military contractors (characterized as mercenaries) “fighting through war, political turmoil, and a conspiracy so vast it threatens the entire world” in a timeline spanning from 1993 to 2009.”
We love playing PS3 games in co-op mode. To bad there are so few of them. Army of Two started sooo promising, but before we knew it, we were up against the final badguy, and just like that, game finished. No huge climax, no big finale, just so stairs, a couple of bad people and pewpew, the guy’s dead meat. Start the end-credits. Thank you for playing.
What’s up with that EA? I hope AoT: the 40th day will be bigger and better.
Belgian postal service what a joke
I’ve just returned from my local post office. To send some packages (DVD’s actually) I sold on Ebay.
For starters, I always send my items with a certificate of postage. I didn’t do this in the past, and on occasion, you’d get a complaint of not receiving a parcel. And offcourse, without a proof of shipment, it’s a war of words, and on Ebay that usually means the seller is screwed.
So after a couple of these bizare not-receing-my-item claims I said to myself, from now on, always a certificate when I ship something.
Now it’s been a while since my last sale on Ebay, and last time I checked, it would cost you 4,95€ (6.58$) to send an item with a certificate of postage. So confident as always I went to my local post office and bought some stamps (with certificate). And guess what, the price has gone up. Now it will cost you 5,50€ (7.31$) to send an item with certificate.
What in the world…? Are you kidding me? This is the national postal service we’re talking about. What do you want next? My first unborn?
Did you know that the bigtime chief of the Belgian national postal service (name: Johnny Thijs) earns about 594.000€ (789,000$) to 842.000€ (1,119,085$) a year. And on top of that, if the postal service reaches certain “goals” every year, he receives a bonus of 250.000€ (332,270$).
Now I know why stamps are getting this expensive.
It really is time to throw the Belgian postal service industry into an open market.
Fun stuff from the interwebs
I recently puchased Bite the Ivory: The Piano Tribute to Metallica at Amazon.co.uk. In short, a great CD. Metallica goes classic. It soothes the beast within.
Everyone knows Star Wars (all except my girlfriend apparantly…), and everyone knows Lego. And a combination of these two are common on the internet. Check out this cool Star Wars Lego movie on Vimeo.
And if you’re into movies then traileraddict is a definate must bookmark. Check out the trailer of Moon. Looks like a pretty nice movie.
