Playing Cards SWG style

Akean Kressh, lvl 90 Smuggler.

Been back in SWG, mostly just hanging around in my house (just outside Anchorhead called "The Secret Smugglers Hideout" on Ahazi) doing some (re)decorating and playing a bit of the Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, Should really figure out how to play this, can't even win from the AI on easy :)

Operation Games for Windows Life - Failed

Eventhough i bought Operation Anchorage for Fallout 3, it was apperantly not installed...
For some reason Games for Windows Live wouldn't update because my system had a different language than the automatic update Games for Windows Live was recieving, i was redirected to a Windows site with a possible solution, that of course didn't work either...

Even downloading and re-installing the latest version of GfWL didn't solve thas issue, what a piece of crap.
Going through and installing all available updates for Windows itself... you guessed it, didn't work either.
But eventually Google came to the rescue, i searched for the error message i was getting when trying to install Operation Anchorage and i found a forumpost having that same problem and by clicking on a possible solution from a poster i was finaly able to find a post that had a link to the the Dutch language update for WinXP/GfWL.
Apperantly it is to difficult for Microsoft to support different language systems with their software....

Anyway.. on to Operation Anchorage, i definatly enjoyed it, it felt a bit (too) short as i went through it in a few hours and i don't think you can do it again, eventhough i think it would be awesome, afterall it is a simulation program, so why not give you the option to run it again??

The gameplay (and scenery) felt different enough to give a little change of action and i had a lot of fun running through it.
I think i got most of the content done, i only missed one intelligence briefcase (only got 9/10), but since there is no going back i won't be able to search for the last one :(

If you like Fallout 3, Operation Anchorage is deffinatly worth getting.

Roaming the wastelands

The last few days i've been really getting into the Fallout universe, been playing a lot of Fallout 3 (still haven't finished it and still looking to get Operation Anchorage after i purchased it, but i am no rush whatsoever). Really looking forward to the upcoming DLC.

Also thanks to Good Old Games i am playing Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics and eventhough they look familiar i can't say i remember playing them back then, so i am sure i'll have a lot of fun playing them.

Allready started playing the original Fallout and so far i am having a lot of fun.

Farewell Tabula Rasa

Well it's over :(
Spend the last few minutes wasting ammo, and then came that feared last message "You have been disconnected from the server"...



I am really gonna miss this game!

Tabula Rasa Forever!!

The end is near..

A sad day today..
Tabula Rasa will be closing down.

I am not doing much gaming, mostly just hanging out enjoying my last moments in TR.

Will definatly be taking part in the "endgame" events.
Feels wierd, knowing there will be no more TR after today :(

Ding!! two years :)

Only just realised that 10 days ago this blog turned "level" 2.

Yay! party :)

Soloing isn't that bad :)

I have not been playing any MMO's for at least a couple of weeks, but i've been having a lot of fun with Saints Row 2.
Despite many flaws/bugs, like stuff dissapearing in front of your eyes, framerate issues (try driving a car through traffic with 7 FPS) not to mention that when i installed the game i had to download some third party DLL files to make it run, apperantly i had to "emulate" my keyboard and mouse to an Xbox controler to stop the menu from scrolling...
Also until a recent update, i couldn't run this game in widescreen (16:9 resolution)...

They obviously put very little work in making this PC port, bad, bad job :(

But having said that i am still having a lot of fun playing this game.

I also got GTA 4 for the PC (allready played it on the X360, but never finished it), but i am liking Saints Row a lot more.

Next to that i started playing the old Fallout games, i got Fallout and Fallout 2 through GOG.com, i have to admit i never played them before, but since i like Fallout 3 so much i really wanted to check them out and for $12 what's there to loose right?

So for now it looks like i will be mainly playing single player games, but might get back into some MMO's sometime soon... or am i done playing MMO's..??
