Wed 8th Apr '09 : All work and no play etc...
Three weeks now of doing uni work every day for a final year project and four different assignments...
aaarrrggghhh... DC
Mon 2nd Feb '09 : Why So Serious?
Almost a year since my last post already? I have thought what else I could put on my website homepage, but
since I can't think of anything, these occasional random wibblings will have to stay! Right now I'm starting
my final semester of uni... not long now to graduation! My final year project, creating a web-based monitoring
and control system for a KNX-enabled smart home is going reasonably well, so
only that and a few assignments and exams to do.
Back at home, I'm getting well into Fallout 3, another excellent RPG from Bethesda. The vastness of the atmospheric, post-apocalyptic setting, the
sometimes amusing quests and the hilarity of the V.A.T.S. combat system (especially with the 'Bloody Mess'
perk) have me addicted. Also worthy of mention is The
Dark Knight, which I re-watched on Blu-ray recently. The IMAX sequences (filmed with 70mm film, rather
than 35mm) are simply stunning at 1080p. Just to see this fantastic film at its best is a great excuse to
invest in a Blu-ray system if you haven't already. DC
Mon 18th Feb '08 : The cake is a lie
It's been a good while since I last posted on here, and in that time I have completed just over half of my
university work placement. On the upside, I'm getting some good experience from it, the downside is my free
time is at an all time low. Most weekends though, I have managed to get some PC gaming time in. DirectX 10
hasn't exactly lived up to the hype generated before supporting games came out, but performance is gradually
being improved through patches and updates.
Since my last post, I've played BioShock (great setting and story line), Half-Life 2: Episode Two (excellent continuation), Portal (short, simple and weird, where's my cake?!), Crysis (the new benchmark for amazing top-end graphics) and Unreal Tournament 3 (very detailed maps, nice update over UT2004
[though I miss some features], pity about the OpenAL problems though...) DC
