Distracting someone can be hazardous for your health. Or rather, the failure to distract:

That was the 3th boss in Mount Hyjal (World of Warcraft raid instance). My fight lasted not that long

Due to various reasons we had to disband our World of Warcraft raiding guild Running Wild. It's hard to see something go down that you've helped to create, and have put a lot of effort in. I've been officer since the day we formed the guild early this year, and it was a real difficult task to tell in guildchat about the decision the officers made a few days earlier:

Sadly, in the end it became impossible to pursue the guild's goals any longer.

I had a terrific time with my fellow officers, friends, and guildmates, and we accomplished quite a lot. But it has also shown me that being an officer and raid leader in a raid guild brings a bag of shit as well. I can't to do this again.

Some may criticize me for being too addicted to this game called World of Warcraft, but I can just say I had this dedication and drive to make it worthwile for myself and my fellow guildmates. I spent a lot of time on my officer duties and on playing the game. Call it a sacrifice, call me a nerd who doesn't go outside, I don't care. I know better than that.

Thank you all that made the time I devoted to Running Wild worthwhile. You know who you are.

For the Horde!

Verslaafd aan MUD anno 2005... World of Warcraft

Ok ik heb jaren geleden (1993/1994) heel wat tijd doorgebracht online met text-based MUD's, maar ik ben dus nu verslaafd aan . Later meer.

update: bah, de server is tijdelijk down. Dan maar wat nieuwe screenshots posten:

Uitgespeeld: Half-Life 2

Volbracht! Half-Life 2 uitgespeeld. Wat een gaaf spel was dit zeg, en ik zit nu al weer uit te kijken naar deel 3 :-)

Ik was zeer onder de indruk. Het is zo waanzinnig realistisch! Waarschijnlijk komt dit door de physics engine die in HL2 zit, en het feit dat je dus erg veel interactie met de wereld hebt (kratten gooien, stellages laten instorten, etc). Doom 3 mag dan licht/schaduw-werking hebben die realistischer is dan die in HL2, maar de algehele kwaliteit van de graphics, het level design, het geluid, en de physics engine en interactie met de wereld (gravity gun!) zorgen er voor mij voor dat ik HL2 enorm leuker en overtuigender vond dan Doom 3.

Zoals gezegd.... op naar Half-Life 3 (hopelijk niet weer 6 jaar wachten)
