So my grandmother got 90 years old last week which was the main reason for a big mess in my plans. At least I managed to work a little on the concept and other projects. But hell, the weekend was even worse. I started to catch up on my work yesterday and try everything to get that damn page online.

I still search a way around all that spam, because I think that commenting will be a very important function. We’ll see. The site won’t differ much from this one, I’ll just need a couple of days, maybe one or two weeks to get everything set up and started. But then it will serve all the purposes I have in the concept outline. So the additional work will have been well invested.

Overlord has been great fun. The review is in production, but it may take a while. I started X3 Reunion 2.0 some weeks ago, too. I guess this might take a little longer. This game will not be reviewed yet, due to time management issues. I will write that one as soon as I have the time to do so.

I sense darkness

Friday, July 13th, 2007

I played Overlord since I returned from my parents. This game really keeps me playing. But I can’t really be very evil. I think I am not evil at all which is why I need to replay the game soon to see everything I missed in the first run. This game is really worth my time.

Actually I am really tired and have problems focusing on work. Well… maybe because the weekend is almost there and I still haven’t decided  how to wast my time yet.

The plans I have been making for this weekend are in alpha stage, but I think I may tell you a little detail. The new “my weekend” is going to involve a lot of gaming, junk food, drawing, comics and spending money in various amounts. The “World In Conflict” beta started yesterday, so I guess I will be playing the beta along with Overlord and should have quite enough to do.

For everyone who asked me about my project “what parents play” – right now I almost finished the concept and the website should be up and running after the weekend. Special details will be announced on Friday – if nothing gets in the way.
Until then I might give you a little overview on the ideas I have with wpp:

The site is dedicated to everyone who wants to understand why and especially what their children are playing. It is meant to be a place where parents may go to find out about games they might want to play – with a focus on people who are not very used to computers and games at all.

I will start a Q&A section as soon as the site goes online so everyone may contribute their ideas. Everyone is encouraged to join the sites main quest which will be announced on the site next week.

Stay informed about the project, you may  get additional info at

www.whatparentsplay.com – coming soon

I can feel the weekend calling

Friday, July 6th, 2007

Well, I guess this is what people call “weekend fever”. Alright I just made this one up, not sure whether something like “weekend fever” exists. But if it doesn’t I just created it.
