Great Name Day and I'm very sensitive boi

Avast, yer mateys!

Couldn't have better last few days, sold crap unique armour for reasonable price on RMAH (to the guy who bought it, you are complete moron, I will send personal letter with thanks to your parents for creating you). Italy beat nazi Germans in Euro Cup, I managed to get Civ 5 expansion for 33% of its value ON RELEASE DATE, my bro finished his bachelor graduation paper, Offspring has released new album, I literally wept when I've heard one song and read the lyrics to it. ??? What? I'm a sensitive guy... get off me!
I'm going to share this song with ya along with the lyrics, enjoy it.

Dance, fucker, dance!
Let the motherfucker burn!

Oh, I'm still missing one thing, Apparently no one wants to nuke Poland, which make me a sad panda. Well, it is nothing I couldn't fix. I'll be right back, I have to finish my work in the basement, hope GlaDOS poured the neurotoxin to the missile already.

My first podcast - Nerfs in games.

Yo!

After our last games myself and my friend were talking a lot about games in general. I've decided to make podcast from it. It last for 11 minutes and I've edited less interesting parts anyway. It could be more professional but 1st time is the hardest one.
Watch it on youtube:

Let me know what do you think.

Warhammer: Wrath of Heroes gameplays

Yo!

Recently I've been playing Warhammer Online: Wrath of Heroes. I've managed to capture some good and bad games:

The game is fine, but still needs some tweaking. I'll probably write more about it on Hydramist.

Finally level 60

Sup?

I've finally leveled to 60, it took me so long, but here it is:

Yes this armour is Goldskin ^^

When I'm online I can boost people I know, no probs.

See ya in Tristram

For Charity! Get them games.

Humble Bundle V is out

In case if you are not familiar with what Humble Bundle is, let me explain it quickly. You pay how much you want for a bundle of indie games. The money you pay, you can distribute as you want between game developers, charity organization and company hosting this sale.  If you Pay more than the average of $7.64 you can unlock bonus game, which is Bastion this time around. You are getting soundtracks to all games in FLAC or MP3 format. Want a steam product keys? No problem, they are included. Are you excited already? Let me just tell you latest edition of Humble Indie Bundle comes with the best games it ever has (in my opinion anyway). Titles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Psychonauts, Limbo, Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP + Bastion speaks for themselves. Let’s take a closer look at them in case you are unfamiliar with ‘em.

Amnesia: The Dark Descent

Favourite game of Lord Hydra. Period. It’s a first person survival horror. Experience nightmares that will scare shit out of you. Explore desolated castle and find out what secrets are buried within it. Immerse frightening surroundings. Wondering what Amnesia can done to you? Just watch Hydra playing it here:

You can find more Amnesia videos on his youtube channel. They are worth it.

Limbo

Another creepy game, but instead of being survival horror, it’s puzzle-solving platformer. The beautiful, mysterious, eerie story of a boy on a journey through Limbo, a land where everything is trying to kill him in a most vicious manner. The game soundtrack is nonexistent, so you might think it is terrible. However, you couldn’t be more wrong. Creepy sounds accompany you as you travel through this dark, shadowy world. The unique, black and white graphic style of this title has charmed me like no other game in a long time.  I recommend you play this game at night with the lights out to make experience even better.

Psychonauts

Psychonauts is quite unique adventure game with strongly exposed action elements. You take control of a little boy with paranormal abilities called Rasputin. In your journey through the game powers of telekinesis, levitation and invisibility will help you solve the mysteries Most interesting aspect of Psychonauts (which distinguish it from other similar games) is that you have a chance to explore other people minds. Literately. 

Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery

Now this is weird game. Graphic is lacking a little, but it’s indie game after all. PC version of adventure game released before on iPad in 2011. This game revolves on classic point-n-click interface, so if you like to search through every location in order to find tips which will help you solve the puzzles, then it’s a game for you. To make it a little more interesting from time to time you will encounter simple combat sections.

Bastion

Bastion is one of most original released in 2011. Game itself is a action rpg, but don’t confuse it with Diablo by any means. Charming, hand – painted artwork dazes with its beauty. Critically acclaimed soundtrack and hours of reacting narration will accompany you through exploring Calamity. Many weapon upgrades remains to be unlocked alongside with six Bastion structures to be discovered. Shall you finish the main story, there is a New Game Plus mode waiting to be played through. 

For dem kidz!

For me getting this bundle is a no-brainer, so many great games for such a cheap price (you can always pay more, don’t let this “cheap price” discourage you). Plus there is a chance to help charity. Here are the links for both charity organizations, remember you can support one of them, none or all of them. 

For dem kidz!

Few thoughts about Diablo 3

Many of you probably can’t wait to get your hands on the beta for the newest Diablo. Is it worth it though? What does Diablo 3 beta have to offer to casual gamers and avid, hardcore Diablo fanatics? Find out and read more.


If you are interested in Diablo, you’ve probably already seen a lot of videos about it on YouTube, as it’s been covered by most of the major gaming channels. Even if you haven’t watched anything, I’ll provide you with some basic details. Every class is available in beta and at the end of beta there is only one major boss – Skeleton King. It takes about 1-2 hours to get to him and defeat him; time might vary depending on how much you want to spend on exploring caves and other locations you do not have to go in order to finish the game. Maximum level available is 13, but it can be finished at level 7-9 without any problems whatsoever. As there is no PvP modes in beta, nor higher level PvE, grinding to level 13 is not necessary at all, as all you can get is additional skills and the option to wear better equipment, which is pointless as beta is too easy without it. You also have option to level up your blacksmith, so he can craft a better gear for you.


Gameplay is almost the same as in previous Diablo games. If you were expecting an FPS or RTS, you will be disappointed. Most of the time you will be killing vicious creatures or exploring dungeons. Some locations are randomly generated, while others always look the same. The random map generator ensures every play through will be different, so grinding should not be dull. There are a good variety of monsters in beta, each of them have a description read by Decard Cain or some other in-game character. Those notes are very well done if it comes to voice acting as well as actually describing the strengths and weaknesses of each monster.


There are 2 modes of play in beta: single and multiplayer. Solo mode is exactly the same as it was in previous Diablo games. In multiplayer you can form a party consisting of 4 characters (it was 8 in Diablo 2), you can make an arranged team as well as be assigned to random players. The main difference between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3 multiplayer mode is in Diablo 3 each player receives loot separately, you cannot even see what item drops for another characters. It is major improvement from previous series, where the player who looted items faster was the one to receive them. As far as cooperation goes, every class can provide something useful to the party: barbarians make natural tanks, monk can heal and support with mantras (aura effects), demon hunter and wizard have a lot of crowd control abilities, etc. Given the difficulty in beta no cooperation is required though.
