Ever since Team Fortress 2 was new I’ve been waiting for something to change the FPS genre. To be entirely honest I’ve been waiting ever since Counter-strike. Yes, there’s been some that drew my attention. The battlefield series was nice at times. I did enjoy several random shooters that cropped up with multiplayer slapped on, [...]

Been going to podiobooks on and off for quite a while. There’s some gems there if you know where to look. I stumbled across Crescent by accident and the summary does sound quite appealing; “Darkness has inspired fear since mankind first watched the sun go down. Bad things hide in the dark feral beasts with mouths [...]

I’m one of those people that watched the movie before the book and I really enjoyed Will Smith’s performance, despite several of my friends telling me that it didn’t hold a candle to the actual book. Naturally I couldn’t let this sleight towards the bald actor remain untouched so I dug out a copy of [...]

Although the book is Swedish I will keep this post in english for the sake of continuity with the rest of this blog. Mörkrädd (Afraid of the dark) is a psychological thriller with any elements of the supernatural left to the imagination and deductive reasoning of the reader. It isn’t a monster story but a rather [...]

I just noticed a rather peculiar thing; haven’t posted a single iphone game blog entry, despite the fact that I spend at least an hour a day glued to one game or another. Is this because most of the games are rather simplistic and not worthy of an entire post? Might be true for the [...]

Having read the rather good “No Exit” I was expecting equally good things from “Steel egg”, unfortunately I was somewhat disappointed. Not really because of the story itself or the author’s intentions, but the hazy, non-canonical way the Alien universe has unfolded. When we were first introduced to aliens in the original film a la Ripley [...]

Won’t be a long post since I fully expect any decently sane person to be following the Discworld series as avidly as I am. I mostly just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. With mr Pratchett’s recent medical problems a natural fear probably crept up on most of his fans; will his last books [...]

I was really, really looking forward to this since I thoroughly enjoyed the first installment of the series. While I’m usually enthralled by the vicious lives of the nobel and uncompromising space marine chapters; it’s always been the imperial guard that truly draw me into the Warhammer 40k universe. These are the poor blokes that get [...]

Not sure if these are the worst translated books in the history of the swedish language, or if they were really written this way. I sort of doubt it since the translation makes good use of the term “dumskalle”, aka “stupid head”, but the plot of the books is somewhat more mature with elements such [...]

Motion capture was entirely out of bounds for small time developers when I last developed 3D titles but I realized that they’re readily available these days. Being the hardcore git that I am my first thought about the whole thing was; meh, I don’t need that crap, it will just add development time for something [...]
