Day of Defeat

A masterpiece in the genre. I remember buying HL:Anthology in 2006 and it brought me all of the gold src games: CS, HL, Blue Shift, OF, Ricochet, DM: Classic, TFC and of course Day of Defeat, shortly dod. I bought it for CS, but I played the other games as well. I've already played the HL games, when I was a little kid in the internet cafe near my home, but this one I've never had a glimpse of it. And man when I started was it the balls. Pure action oriented, high skill-cap, fast-paced cs-style gameplay ww2 action. Better than bf1942, better than cod1 and its expansions, cod2 and all cods. It blew my mind on so many levels. Getting the kar running on dod_avalanche and destroying them all. Fast paced CTF and objective style gameplay, with a lot of shooting and different classes. Nades were awesome and strong, no regen mechanics. Pure skill-based from the shooting, to the running, to the camping. There are camping classes - the sniper and machinegunner. There are a handful of weapons with all classes. Even a bazooka. In a game like this explosions are strong, cause the maps are small, but oh man is it awesome.

This picture will forever be embedded into my mind. Holding the kar playing as the axis. Do note of course I don't particularly the axis or the allys. I don't like war, I just love ww2 games. WW2 shooter games are one of the best. Kar98k is my favorite rifle by far. In this game it's like the sniper in CS. It's a high risk, high reward rifle. It does by far the most damage output from the rifles and automatic guns, but has a drawback, it's bolt action. There is a reload between shots, and if you miss the first shot, that's when the opponent can kill you, and that's why I love it. I once did an 8 kill streak with the kar. Anyway, it's a great game, the wall of text is enough to say it. Try it if you can, but better buy DOD:S, I'll explain why in my next post.

Pulp fiction.

One of my favorite movies. It's a nice gang story created by my favorite director Tarantino. A lot of famous names in it, and it's overall a nice story. I like gang movies, but Pulp Fiction is another case. I like how to story progresses, the timeline is messed up, while I don't like it much in his another movies, I love it in this one. There's a lot of everything and it's a beautiful composition deserving the title of classic. If you haven't watched it, do it

The Higgs boson particle found.

Good job, scientists, CERN and other parties. Now I'm only a little interested in the LHC, but this discovery was well thought and calculated, it just needed time. I'm all in for science, but to tell you the truth, I don't like theoretical science at all. Discoveries which cannot be integrated into human life are meaningless to me. It's nice and all to find new things, new particles, expand the periodic table and understand  but their use is none to us. Look at electricity for example. By all means the greatest discovery in human history. And it's used everywhere. Literally everywhere. I know there are several inventions based on quantum mechanics findings, but they are just partially based on those findings. I know I'm talking way outta my league here, but still. Anyway I don't think in this current state the world needs more scientific discoveries, especially when they cost so much, but that's only me.

Added a counter on the right bar.

I think it's a nice addition to every blog. Woah, I've a thousand views already. Thanks!

Hosting services, are they ok?

Me and couple of my friends want to host a realm of Mu online or Diablo II. And are wonder if we should host it locally on our pcs, or hire a hosting service. I mean we can spend like 30 € a month, cause we are like 30 people or so. And I think hosting to one person's pc will cost more electricity and bandwidth.
The thing is we wanted a Bulgarian hosting service, hosted in Bulgaria of course, cause our local connection is 20Mbit/s, so we found a hosting service that's cheap and I believe reliable. There are two choices I believe we should choose from.

The first is a web hosting.

• 100 gb's of hdd space.
• Unlimited traffic.
• This sounds so great, cause it's like 10 € a month.
• But it is a web server, and I'm not sure if the server machine could handle a game server.

The other option is VPS hosting.

• 512mb ram.
• 1tb of monthly traffic.
• Quad-core processor.
• And full control over the machine, whatever that means.
• It costs like 18 € per month.

So I'm not sure if we should host it locally, or rent a hosting service. Maybe I should talk to a friend of mine, who understands this better, he has experience with it. bb ;0

My friend's game.

This is my friend's play, on his birthday, happy b-day, man.

He said it was a prolonged game as well. It was hard, but rewarding. I love long dota games, well not as long as this one, but still around 40-50 minutes is great, because there are turnbacks, many teamfights, ganking, roshaning, comebacks.

Another day, another screen. ;)

Oh, man this game was exhausting, srsly.

A one hour game, but we managed to win. It was hard, we needed to turtle, in order to get fed, in order to overpower them. Also I must say that Void is a weak hero now. Doesn't matter how much he farms, there are a lot of other heroes, who are better. His long cd blink, evasion and stun are useless now, and his sphere works for not more than one hero.
