    New Avatar

    As you can see, I've got a new Avatar. It is not by my sister as first intended. It is from a friend of mine I met recently and I am so glad that she drew it for me.
    What do you think of it?

    Fallout 3

    I just have to share this. It is about Fallout 3, so whoever isn't interested can ignore this post.

    I just finished the main story and two of the add on's while I was at it. My thoughts? This game is amazing.
    I had played Bethesda Games before, namely TES: Oblivion and Skyrim and I knew their games were good.

    My Little Review for Galacon 2014

    So, I just arrived at home after staying for almost four days in Ludwigsburg, Germany. The reason: GalaCon 2014.

    At first, I was a bit (very) nervous. I went to Zürich where I met the others from the group I was travelling with before we went on the train up north.

    It's done

    Well, almost. My apprenticeship that is.

    I had my presentation for my IPA some time ago. The IPA is a practical exam where the apprentice does his own thing that is supposed to be used in the future. I won't tell too much about it because most thing is just some blabla database stuff. What I can tell is that it was a challenge. One that mad e a lot of fun.

    New chapter KotM

    Just a short notice.

    I said that the chapter gets longer last time. It got a bit longer, but not as much as I thought. Sorry if I disappointed someone.

Fallout 3 · 10:58pm Aug 10th, 2014

I just have to share this. It is about Fallout 3, so whoever isn't interested can ignore this post.

I just finished the main story and two of the add on's while I was at it. My thoughts? This game is amazing.
I had played Bethesda Games before, namely TES: Oblivion and Skyrim and I knew their games were good.
I didn't think so of Fallout 3 in the beginning. The first time it didn't even start without crashing again. A very bad start indeed.
After playing Oblivion (Skyrim wasn't out at my first try) the way it handled economy seemed very strange to me. How should I know that they had only a limited amount of caps? And that they would regenerate their stock after a while?
Then I tried to fast travel. It crashed again and a lot of progress was lost. I deleted it and told me that I would never touch this game again.
Some times later, I have became a brony and played Skyrim in the meanwhile, I got more interested into Fallout: Equestria and with it also into Fallout 3. I bought the Game of the Year edition on steam and installed it again. Remembering what all went wrong, I assumed a lot of time investing in finding bug fixes. But nope, all went smoothly. It started without problems and the game didn't crash on fast travel. I was happy but I had to no time due to exams so I forgot about it again.
Until a few weeks ago. I had no exams anymore. Nothing to worry about. And holidays were just around the corner. I took it again, started new because I wanted to do a consecutive run. And I did it.

I began to love the setting. The post apocalyptic dystopia that invited raiders and slavers to flourish. The american soil defiled by blood and radiation. The change from being the hunted to being the hunter. It was great. And it was refreshing. It wasn't just another fantasy setting. It was a possibility. Maybe with some exaggerations here and there but still a valid possibility. Humanity at the brink of extinction, brought by a war of two superpowers with too much pride and too little consideration for each other. A daily struggle not to live, but to survive.

I don't want to get further into it, knowing that I will begin to spoil. It shouldn't be a problem because it had been out for quite some time, but I'd rather not take someone the fun of getting to know it themselves.

Yeah, a bit of a senseless post. But who cares. I don't. And you do not either. Or do you? I don't think so.

Brightly glowing regards
PheonixC
