New Mouse: Razer Naga

Martin Hoffmann Larsen — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 07:32:35 +0000

Yesterday I did some research on gaming mice, because my own mouse is a bit dodgy these days.

I fell for the Razer Naga (because of all the programmable buttons), and I’m really looking forward to try it out. It should take at least 18 hours to get used to it though (according to the documentation), so it will be interesting to see how it goes.

And btw, I just want to say cheers for super fast delivery from proshop.dk, for delivering it within 24 hours. Awesome!

And the mouse? Looks like this:

Welcome to the Deadmines

I randomly found this music video about the Deadmines (HC).

Van Cleef is ready to show you around the mighty Deadmines, enjoy!

Sucker Punch

It’s from the director Zack Snyder (Watchmen, 300), so I’m sure the visual will be top notch.

The story line though… Hard to tell from this trailer. But… there’s a dragon!

Game On!

The Goon Trailer

Martin Hoffmann Larsen — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 07:21:32 +0000

David Fincher is producing this awesome looking animation movie.

The Goon is a comic book series by Eric Powell. The series has a distinctly paranormal slant, with the average story concerning ghosts, ghouls, skunk-apes with an unnatural hunger for pie, extra-dimensional aliens, and mad scientists. -Wikipedia

If you look at the description, I can only ask: What’s not to like?!

Diabolo

I went to the park with my sister today, because we were both a bit bored. My inner compass failed me, so I ended up in the wrong park. So after a little detour, I finally met up with her.

I recently bought a Diabolo, so I thought I’d finally take it for a spin. It was good fun, and we used most of the afternoon trying to keep it spinning :p

Here’s a video and some pictures we took!

Cataclysm: Goblin Starting Area

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆

If the Worgen starting area is really dark and seriously themed, then the Goblin starting area is the direct opposite.

You start off on your home island Kezan, where you are a member of high Goblin society. You got a car, friends, a hot looking (for Goblin standards) boyfriend (if you play a female, not sure if you play male ), money in the bank, all the basics

While you are on Kezan island you got a car (mount) you can drive around in (sadly you lose it when the story progresses ).

But because of the cataclysm, the volcano on the island starts to erupt, and you have to gather money enough to pay the trade prince to join his luxury yacht to safety.

He tricks you though, so you end up a slave on his yacht, but the trip gets an unexpected turn when the yacht ends up in a battle between the horde and the alliance.

You end up on another new island, where you meet the Orcs for the first time, and you team up with them. Now you have to fight your way across the island, and save your friends from alliance scum, pygmies, and other dangerous beasts.

The whole theme is so silly, but fun, and there’s not lacking anything. Blizzard uses the phasing technology to their fullest extend, and it was really a joy to play through this area.

9 out of 10! Just brilliant!

The Temper Trap

Martin Hoffmann Larsen — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:38:32 +0000

My friend Jesse linked me two Youtube videoes with a band called The Temper Trap.

He told me it would be something I’d love. And oh, he was so right. They are an alternative rock band from down under with an atmospheric sound (and if there’s something I love in music, it’s atmosphere! ).

I’ve been listening to the album all morning now (thank you Spotify!), and it’s definitely an album I have to own.
