  • Life is strange sometimes

    Between 1990 and 1996 i lived in a house together with my family and it was the period of my life that i remember most fondly.

    We got a Super Nintendo while we lived there and after my mother and step-father broke up and we sold the house life kind of went spiraling downwards. By 2004 My grandmother and grandfather died of cancer, my father had commited suicide and my mother started abusing heavy drugs.

    All i ever really wanted was to find the same stability and family-life i had as a kid.

    My kids mother (we were together between 2004 and 2012) destroyed my hope for women but i got two amazing kids out of that relationship.

    I met a woman through internet after years of terrible dates and extremly low self-esteem. I remember thinking when i first saw her that "she is waaay out of my League". Fast forward and this weekend we moved into a house, on the same street i grew up on. I would never have dreamt of this in a million years and i get all teared up watching my daughters playing Sim City on the SNES mini.

    Sorry for the rant but i never thought a game i played as a kid could make me feel this way today.

    Quote from Minos

    14 hours ago, Minos said: I was thinking about why our maps are so replayable the other day too, compared to other games I've played. This is a completely subjective answer, but I think one of the major reasons is the amount of themes we have in maps. For example, in Hanamura you have the city (which is made of just a few reusable buildings), the dojo and then the temple. Basically 4 or 5 different main themes (city, garden, dojo, temple + futuristic city in the backdrop). For Numbani, it's even more uniform, with small variations here and there. In a way, this makes these maps less overwhelming to take in, since the brain doesn't need to comprehend so many different structures/themes/surfaces, while at the same time trying to think of strategies and react to the action in the map. That takes a lot of brain power! Having more controlled and well defined themes also help a ton with navigation, so you don't have to think too much when running around the map.

    As comparison, I played a bit of Rogue Company the other day (the environment art looks sick in that game!), but I found that the maps suffered from too many different themes. I remember a map that took place in an skyscraper, and inside the skyscraper you had a mall, a car museum, an egyptian museum, a Mesopotamian museum and a rooftop garden (if I remember correctly). It was very overwhelming to navigate, since there were too many different details and themes.

    This argument can also be said about CS. The most replayed maps are usually the ones with more uniform and easily comprehendible themes, such as Dust, Aztec, Inferno (especially the old one), Nuke, Assault etc...

    There's a sweet spot when a map is not too simple and not too complex, and while art is a major component, level design and lighting play huge roles too. I was never a big fan of Prodigy, while it looked cool, the design was very complex and sprawling and the lighting was very uniform throughout the map (this is another criticism I have for a lot of new CS:GO maps that I see these days, they are all uniformly lit, with little sense of direction).

    Anyways, this is a good subject to jam over some beers :D

    Well said! Personnaly i also feel that the "cartoony feel" reminds me alot of the enviroment in games i loved when i was younger. Monkey Island, Simon the Sorcerer etc. Colorful.

    It feels like im playing a place in the games world rather than a map with limits. I still want to visit the rest of Blizzard world haha.

  • Overwatch

    Ive played so much Overwatch recently! ( Got about 1600 hours played by now ??)

    Got me thinkin how i don't get tired of the same maps, me and my friend always discuss what map we hope for in the loading screen and we always seem to hope for different maps. The only one i dont enjoy as much as the others is Paris.

    Don't get me wrong, it's beautiful. But i think that the chokes are too tight (compared to Hanamura where you have the left window as an attacker to play around). I remember feeling the same about Horizon in the beginning, but now i really like that map too after it got revamped a bit.

    Also, i don't know why but we both seem to enjoy Watchpoint: Gibraltar as attackers but not as defenders. Have no idea why tho!


    Once it was announced i wasn't really that into it. I did not see the fun in the game, but then i got the beta.. Oh boy. I really can't wait for the sequel and new heroes/maps.

  • Overwatch

    So.. PVP in Overwatch 2 will probably be 5 vs 5.. I don't know how i feel about this. I mean, 1 tank, 2 + 2 DPS/Supp feels really shitty when you play tank alot. I like the gameplay as it is right now but i hope we get to choose whatever we prefer :)

  • Corona Virus

    Met a girl last year in January, she lives in Malmö and i am 250 kilometers north from her. It is weird that we haven't been able to date outside, having dinner in a restaurant and visiting places.

    Luckily we are both like two senior citizens and enjoy being at home together eating food and watching some silly tv show. We just bought a crappy house we hope to restore :)

    Never ever thought i would be in such a happy relationship after my previous ones, so i am grateful!


    Got my first dose a week ago or so, (Pfizer), arm hurt like i had gotten punched by my brother for two days but other than that i feel great.

    Apparantly in Sweden, i was eligible for the vaccince even tho i am 38 because i have high blood pressure. Apparantly that is a risk factor.

    Getting my second shot mid june! I hope that it is the beginning to normalcy.

  • Overwatch

    I must admit, being gold border 4-star (level 1700?), i have only noticed the Kings Row before haha. Man i love the maps and world of Overwatch, i love almost every map in that game, and that is not common :)
