And I really really thought I’d get back to posting regularly

Quick and dirty! Because I’m stupidly busy. Yes, stupid. And unspontaneous. And I did something spontaneously. Wonder how stupid that was or will be.

Tomb Raider reboot Mini-Review (spoiler-free)

I think one of the biggest things is really this “take yourself too serious”.
It’s still supposed to be a game no matter how “realistic” they’re trying to build it. But if you take yourself too serious and go down the realistic-line everything that seems even just a little unrealistic gets pointed out so strongly. Suspension of disbelief gets rather hard to uphold like this.

I enjoyed the old TombRaiders (I think I played I-IV) and I guess it was also because these weren’t that serious.
However I’m not saying that turning the reboot around is a bad thing, I think it was a good decision to change the core of the game. We had enough “old” TombRaider games.
Just the way the reboot presents itself makes the character progression and storytelling rather shallow too. I think this is what “Uncharted” is making a liiiittle better; every so often you get the feeling Uncharted is making fun of Drake and the situation itself. Without that the uber-action would seem even siller than it sometimes seems anyways.
Oh, about the half-tucked shirt: Tim Schafer wrote this charming and funny text about Drake’s shirt. I love it. If you like Tim Schafer, humour or/and Uncharted you should read it.

What I generally resent however is that the TombRaider reboot can feel like a shooter at times.

Maybe I’m starting to tend to be more of an indie-game person.

Uh yeah, to clarify. AGAIN: It is a good game.

Until I finished this comic-review the Tomb Raider reboot’s gonna be forgotten… These days to keep up with all the new games is really hard. There used to be a time where you were eagerly awaiting your new game to come out and played it as long as the new one would take to make. *old times blues*
I was late because I was sick… once again! I have such a bad immune system. I really try to live healthy but if you don’t sleep enough your immune system is just not going to make it. And I just don’t get sleep. 😛

Got to have a hobby.

She surprised me a lot. Especially with the dry tone.
Probably a very good poker player.

I’ve been thinking about it for some time but I guess it’s time to tackle the stuff: In my next post I want to look into the “Tomb Raider” reboot a little. (Is that correct English? I should get some sleep…)

Some probably didn’t expect game content on this blog. I actually didn’t intend to, but it’s just part of my life; leaving it out would mean to neglect all the opportunities for cool stories.
(I’m pretty shy about being myself.
If you don’t know what I mean: Congrats, I guess your normal.
If you understand me: … Welcome. *eerie grin*)

As always, cheers!

Woman with Glasses

One of my tests restricting myself by using flat colours.

Poor sceptical girl has to wear glasses because her eyes looked so goofy.

Makes me think about summer and the benefits of wearing glasses…

Restriction for Improvement

Help me there a bit.

I’m not really satisfied with the size of the pictures I’m posting.

The newest post is now linked to a larger version of the comic. What I mean is, if you click on the comic you’ll get to see its large version. (The downside is that I’ve got to have two different files: one large version and one in the exact size of a normal post. Why I don’t let WordPress do it automatically? Because a smaller scaled picture gets blurred which makes my fonts very hard to read.)

So… What do you prefer? Do you like to have the option to enlarge a picture?

Cheers,
Kiki

I don’t get insulted on my way home all the time. Just often.

Of course I walked away without saying one thing to them.
