Niste jucatori din Spania de Starcraft au creat un mod destul de interesant. Au luat unitati din Starcraft 2 si le-au pus in Starcraft 1… Well, suna destul de interesant. Pentru cei ce nu mai au rabdare pana apare versiunea finala de Starcraft 2, puteti incerca acest mod. Asa ca daca stiti spaniola, urmariti acest thread: http://sc2-esp.com/showthread.php?t=3204

Se pare ca Blizzard chiar nu se joaca… Tocmai au mai facut un patch pentru joc. Vinerea trecuta s-au facut 2 patch-uri. Daca o tin tot asa, toate bune si frumoase.

Finalele Globale extreme masters au inceput in aceasta dimineata si multe surprize s-au intamplat deja la Counter-strike, World of Warcraft si Quake Live.
Mai jos aveti playerul unde puteti urmarii meciurile live de la evenimentul de la Cebit, Hanovra.

Jocul surrprinde, cel putin pe mine m-a impresionat inca de la primul Bad Company, care l-am terminat de 3 ori (easy,medium,hard)… Dar nu despre singleplayer este vorba. Este vorba despre multiplayer-ul bestial. De ce spun asta? Pai, poate pentru faptul ca jocul este cunoscut pentru “hartile” foarte mari si gameplay-ului superb in multiplayer. Este un joc de echipa, unde daca un jucator se crede erou nu are prea mult de supravietuit sau de castigat. Jocul impresioneaza atat prin hartile imense dar si prin arsenalul de arme foarte mare, cat si prin multitudinea de vechicule ce pot fi controlate in-game. Elicoptere, tancuri, buggy-uri, snow-mobil-uri, etc…

Am avut ocazia sa joc beta-ul inca de la inceput, adica de anul trecut din noiembrie (parca), cand s-au dat primele key-uri pentru Closed Beta pe PS3. Astazi este ocazia voastra sa il incercati pe PC. Am cateva key-uri ce urmeaza sa le impart, asa ca…

La fel cum v-am invatat, trebuie sa-mi demonstrati ca meritati sa jucati acest Beta. Este foarte simplu. Adauga un comentariu cat mai indraznet la adresa jocului Battlefield Bad Company 2. Ce te atrage la acest joc? Ai instorie in acest joc? … etc.

Have fun.

Ani de zile au trecut de cand Blizzard tot lucreaza la opera lor de arta, si anume Starcraft 2 – Wings of Liberty. Clar este cel mai anticipat joc al acestui an si cu siguranta al tuturor timpurilor. Cu totii asteptam cu sufletul la gura ca Blizzard sa anunte Beta-ul la Starcraft 2. Nu cred ca mai avem mult de asteptat, cel tarziu in martie o sa avem parte de gameplay pe nesaturate, sau de ce nu, chiar la sfarsitul acestei luni. Ce mai stim este ca acest Beta nu va fi Open, ci Closed. Ce inseamna asta? Ca nu oricine va avea acces ci doar cei care au fost selectati, din miile de conturi de pe Battle.net.

Partea frumoasa este ca s-ar putea sa avem si noi niste “beta-keys” pentru voi, asa ca stati aproape, si cine stie, poate veti fi selectati pentru Starcraft 2 Beta.

* Added a frame rate limiter to the game menus to prevent some graphics cards from running at higher frame rates than necessary.

Avand in vedere expansiunea modului DOTA pentru Warcraft 3, alti producatori/studiouri au inceput sa priveasca aceste meciuri cu foarte mult interes. Datorita modului DOTA cei de la S2 Games , au inceput sa produca Heroes of Newerth. Un joc cu foarte multa ambitie, facut sa detroneze DOTA-ul. Comunitatea acestui joc fiind foarte mare, cred ca are sanse sa-si atinga scopul.

Heroes of Newerth este in Closed Beta de ceva vreme, si iata ca este vremea ca GameXTV sa va invite in batalia acestui joc.

Am cateva invitatii asa ca, povestea este scurta, exact ca la C&C4,

Sa incercati, sa-mi demonstrati ca il meritati. Adica, cine imi spune sau imi arata de ce merita invitatie, iar eu consider ca merita, ii voi da.

Nu uitati sa va lasati si adresa de email.

Pentru mai multe detalii despre joc, accesati site-ul: http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/

Abia a inceput beta-ul pentru C&C4, iar prin intamplare se face sa am niste CDkey-uri…
Voi oferi cu o singura conditie.

Sa incercati, sa-mi demonstrati ca il meritati. Adica, cine imi spune sau imi arata de ce merita acest cdkey, iar eu consider ca il merita, il voi da.

PS:Alegerea ramane a mea, cine il merita.

Good Luck

Am descoperit de curand un show facut in US. In serial este vorba despre o gasca dintr-un guild. In rolul principal joaca “Felicia Day”.Well, show-ul este kinda funny, Restul va las sa descoperiti voi.

Cele 3 sezoane le puteti vedea pe http://www.watchtheguild.com/ , la o calitate foarte buna

Acesta este un film de scurt metraj terminat in ianuarie 2010 de un student de la Animation Mentor.
Probabil ca filmul o sa participe la Siggraph si la alte evenimente de CG. Conceptul filmului este foarte bun.
Sunt foarte putine filme de genul acesta, care reusesc sa impresioneze.
Filmul a fost facut in circa 7 luni de la concept pana la post productie. La concept a lucrat cu doi profesori pentru 24 de saptamani.

Well, vizionare placuta…
