Venturing deep into the Al Quelt Moreza dungeon, I learn a lot (and I fear that the name of the dungeon puts me on some secret "connected-to-terrorists" list).
For example that you don’t really need to play the game to play the game. I guess SotNW is one of the few games that plays itself…
Reboldoeux, a city where you need to copy and paste the name to get it right…
After arriving in the city the first task is to create the rest of the family. Up to three people can be part of the party at any time, and a fourth member waits in the quarters. So two more people: a scout (assassin and healer) and, finally, a mage. My fighter covers close combat, the mage ranged combat, and the scout heals them when necessary. Very efficient.
Memo to self: post family picture.
Ah, the wonders of a new experience!
Continuing my SotNW saga, the first "challenge" is to – pick a server. I used the time during downloading, installation, and updating to read the more prominent posts in the game’s forum. But really, there is not much choice yet… only one server for DE, so "Illier" it is.
So I’m a MMORPGer now.
Never thought this would happen. I was cleaning up my harddrive, so I had time to watch a few videos on the latest GameStar DVD. And one of them was a presentation of "Sword of the New World" (SotNW from now on).
The graphics looked good. The overall style is somehow Victorian-SciFantasy-Magic, reminding me of Final Fantasy 8 (the only FF game I have). You could call it Steam-Punk, if you like. The music was said to be a mix of classical tunes and techno. And finally, it was said to be free until level 20.
Well, you probably have received an automated out-of-office reply mail at some point in life. And maybe you have created one yourself already. Normally it’s just a sentence or two, saying "I’m not here, I’ll read your mail later." Here is one I received today:
"As you read this I might be sunbathing in the Andalusion sun, eating tapas or maybe reading a book. I will be back in the office on the 12th of September and will try to get back to you asap."
Just the though of the beach and tapas kind of relaxed me already, so this is definetely one of the more noteworthy messages.
Pop-artist Romero Britto visited Berlin today to attend an opening of his exhibition. Born in Brazil, he moved to Miami several years ago where he gained popularity. Later on the Kennedy family became his prime supporter. In 2007, he designed the opening ceremony together with the Cirque Du Soleil.
His style is colorful and filled with positive energy. But not only his paintings and sculptures are impressive, he took also the time to sign his works – or, if you couldn’t afford one, the invitations of the opening. In most cases he even added a small impromptu drawing. Very cool.
