Diary of DOOM--expression show

ZZPosted by Imaginator on Tuesday, November 24, 2009 , under | comments (0)



As we all knows, DOOM is a first person shooting game. So, normally , we cannot see the face of main character in this game gene. However, the designers of DOOM have already give players some extra service. In the middle of the UI, except weapon and health number, we can see a small face. This face is not a still picture, it's like a really mirror of main character. When you are exploring map, this face will look around, when you fight with enemies, this face will be angry, when you are hurt , this face will have some new wound as well. It's a very tiny detail in this game, when player force on fighting and shooting, they might not have time to mention this small square in mid-button, but if you have a look carefully, you can feel the sincerity in this game.

I collected most of expression appeared in DOOM, combined with some other screenshots, than write this article to combine them in a whole comic story.

START


"emmm...Where am I?"
When I woke up, there was nothing except silence. I was in a strange space, broad but wide.



I look around. The walls and pillars are dirty but solid. Several weak blue or red light are shining from the precise chips on the wall. In few feet further, a metal can is filled of green unknown liquid. A piece of body lie on the ground, it is too strange to recognize what it is when it alive.The only useful thing in my hand, is a ugly handgun with 50 bullets.

"Anybody can hear me? Any NPC here?"
As an experienced RPG player, the first thing when I arrive a new place is walk around then claw everything I can find here. So I did that.

The first food(?) that I found are some small blue bottles. I don't know how it tasted, but after I drink that, my health point get one percent increased. Now, my health point is...

"What?!Who can tell me what is this situation? I am over weight or over health?"
OK,I don't really care that, because the more HP the better, isn't it ? Let's back to our search, after half a minute later, I find another good. A helmet! Someone throw it in a dark corner, but for some reasons, the eye of the helmet alway release intermitted green flesh, so find it for me is just like a little case.

It's very similar to the blue liquid, every helmet can give me 1% armor point. Of course I feel very happy I become hard to die, but the case is...
"Can my neck carry so many helmets in the same time?"
On the other hand, helmet cannot cover my body, I need an whole armor. My determined finally win the odds. On a turning hexagon platform, I got a green armor. It's much better then helmet. I get 100% armor point after I wear that. However, this armor is too messiness so I cannot wear it twice.

"The feel....so goooooood!"

I think I have already picked everything I can take in this area. So I holding my handgun, happily and excitedly move forward. A gate stop my step, I opened it, then I meet my first same type in this place.

"Wait! Why his gun is larger and cooler than mine? And his eyes..... seems like rabbit?"
I am still confusing, but my new mate looks not so friendly. He start to shoot me, fortunately, my helmets protect me(I HAVE WEARED 5 HELMETS!!! ).

"I am angry! I will rob your gun!"
Then I shoot back, after a stormy gun fighting. My new neighbourhood become a ghost of my gun, and I receive some damage as well. However, his gun was broken during the fight, my wish can not appear this time.
He:

Me:

A little flesh wound can not stop my step, follow the stages. I walk down to underground level. The environment become darker, a roar sound from further. A monster rush out suddenly!

"I have never know a zombie can use fireball magic!"
This moster even don't need gun to attack. Red and hot fireballs are shoot from its hand.

Fight!

Fight!

Fight!

It's.... So strong! BUT I still can fight!
FIRE!!
This battle take me a lot of motion, but I have get my win yet. I feel my blood is losing, my body is going to weak, and the worst thing is....
NO BULLET!

"OHHHH!NO!!!"
I throw the crap handgun out, then did several deep breath. The monster is closing me, but I don't want to die!

Thinking.....


Looking.....
"Hei! There is a way out!"
I run away from the monster, as fast as I can. The fireballs come from my back, one of them even touch my ear. I can smile my hair was burn, but I can not stop, the exit door is near to me!

"Oh!Yeah! I will survive! I can escape from here!"
I open the door. The moster can not catch me anymore. I think I will be safety, however.....


"What's this map mean?"
That means, I still have 6 more level to pass.
In those levels, there will be more monsters, more dangerous, more risk!
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhh!NOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

SUPER MARIO 64 DS

ZZPosted by GE-DRAGON on , under | comments (0)




Since I played this game almost three weeks, I was so struggle with first level in the first floor.

Whole game is set in princess peach’s Castle, that consists of many different levels in the three floors that are a basement, a moat, and a courtyard.
Every floor is an enclosed world, lets player free to walk around in all directions and discover the environment without time limits.



In the each level have lost of enemies (such as the brown color’s mushrooms, bomb, and water ball) that attack Mario, and also have friendly creatures that provide assistance (color mushroom and notice sign), offer information.
Mario should jump into a mural to Accessed in to the first level of the first floor.
When the Mario arrives in the Castle, there have free door to let’s Mario come in and practice. Such as swimming, jumping and running walk as well as claiming the tree that’s so funny and well to play. I was Try to used to play with the keyboard controller that is difficult to control with, then I have to reset the configure setting that make me easy to control with character.



The first floor contain with four different levels which are Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp’s Fortress, Jolly Roger Bay, and Cool Cool Mountain.
I just pass the first level of the first floor that makes me mad to beat the big bob-omb. Because of Ge-Drayon was misunderstand with first CHAIN CHOMP is that big bob-omb. Try to beat him after I got my red coin on top of the stake. But, every time was failed.
A special thanks for Mr Nik’s help ~>_<~





Actually, On the top of the hells, there has a Big Bob-omb waiting for me and I should go around or a back somersault to his back, grabbed he and throwing three times, he would have exploded, then I got first star in my hand yay.
I was struggling to grab the big Bob-omb before, have to try so many times to grab him. The game was so humanization, I can save the states that I was played before, and then if I lose it I can still back to last state.
Mario 64 has really cool free camera view function that will be controlled independently of the character (Mario). Press control button can change the perspective of the camera view, also can following the characters position gives distance view or first-person views. There shows two views one is the Mario view, other is Lakitu Bros views.
The camera angle is really fun to control and easy to played with view of relation to the character’s perspective. Compare with recent 3D game, maybe DS 64’s camera setting isn’t so prefect but at back of those years that system of camera setting was the standard of the future 3D platform.
For me, I have taken a while to use to adjust the camera view and confirmed my character’s action in my proper views. ~>_<~

Last night it’s my first time to defeated big bob-omb successfully and got my first star finally LOZ

Wish me good luck for next level ~~la~~

Inside the Myst

ZZPosted by christine c. on Tuesday, November 10, 2009 , under | comments (2)




I started playing Myst last Friday with some few clues as to what this game is but not enough to make me know what I really should be doing. So the first time I opened it, I can't keep but to keep on clicking on anything I could click which can either make me walk towards a path or make an interaction with some objects in that game. The intro to that game which reveals a little backstory (narrator/voice over, sounds and graphics are done well) is interesting though. It was like a movie incorporated into an interactive game, and wherein you have to play it to make an ending to that story.

But after opening the Myst book for the first time which lets me enter into the world / game, I am left to wander and makes me feel that I am somehow lost. But its nice to see that the visuals are that good, considering the fact that it was done long time ago. This game may have lesser impact to players who loves to play just for fun (such as shooting games, etc) because this one is somehow quite serious but perhaps this game may appeal to some who likes going into movies and stories and those who likes to get challenged in finding places/ things and solving clues to move on. A game can't please all players after all.^^




Many times you will find it difficult to move on because its quite difficult to figure out what to do next/where to go/what to look for, but if you can appreciate in playing these kind of puzzle games, this is a good game though. It is also helpful to somehow know what you have to look for in a certain area.

I like the way this game has incorporated the backstory/plot, the visuals, and how they use certain elements such as the books to communicate the other characters of the game to the player, which makes me, the player, feel that i am really into it and i am important to make the game move on. The game is very intriguing (but may sometimes make me feel that I'm losing my patience) and the sound is quite creepy (so I don't recommend it to those who hates horror stories:D) but it is what it is for the nature of the game.*here, after solving some clues to drain the water from this fountain-like structure, I was able to see a video message of Atrus (the one who creates the books)....pretty cool ;)



*these are some of the contents of the books in the library




*here is one of the 2 sons of Atrus whom I found trapped inside one of the books in the library, telling me to go find some of the lost pages. The video was quite static(effective in that way)..... hmmm..I don't trust him though..he looks suspicious....


But then, once in a while, I came to a point where I feel quite disappointed and quite desperate when I can't figure why something has not worked well. Right now, I am stuck in this clock tower and trying to figure out why I can't move on, in spite of finding a clue to it. If I can finished solving some of the clues here, then at least, maybe I could finally enter into the 4 Ages/Worlds described to me through the books I found inside the library...
*these numbers are the clues I found way back inside the library for this clock tower but something seems wrong, nothing happens even if I turn the clock to 2:40...><

...hmm....how far could i really go?.....


Civilization

ZZPosted by Arwen on Monday, November 9, 2009 , under | comments (2)



About Civilization

Since I played CIV almost a week already. The game just as the name, talk about a lot of civilization, such as Roma, Babylonian, German, Egyptian, Chinese, Greek, and so on. In the game player can control one of the country to develop many kind of technology and fight with other countries. By the time pass, player can also building the city and make army, something like that.


In the beginning of this game, we can choose the game difficulty level to play, level of competition and pick a tribe. Also you need to create a name of your tribe. For this part, because I just first time to play this game, and I just want to know the every function of this game, so I chosen Chieftain which is the easiest tribe I can choose and with 3 civilizations. The city called “Arwen” of Roma. After that, the game turn to the page for introduce every icon of this game. Then the game start.


In my opinion, the game have huge background. Player can be interested in how to grow up the country and to win in the war. The control in this game is quite simple, most of time just use arrow key to move the army and enter key to do the function. But there also have some short key to control. Like F1-F12. Because the game is really old game, the graphic in this game are terrible, the words not clear any more even just like a pixel symbol. Music also can be ignore. Actually I turn off the music when I was played. Nevertheless, the game have many defect as I said. But I do really like this type of game. So I can just keep playing.
