Turning Back To Mirror’s Edge

Alex Fink — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 23:58:51 +0000

Now that I’ve got a new computer, I decided to go back to a game I furiosly played about a year ago. Mirror’s Edge is a jump & run game in first person perspective. You play as Faith, a free-runner who delivers illegal packages and helping your sister out of a miserable situation. As the [...]

What you can expect from your blog in 2010

Alex Fink — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 17:29:09 +0000

As christmas is almost over, I’ve changed the winter-edition theme back into my old design. However, I’ve altered it. There is some javascript font-replacement going on, the header and the menu was altered by me and there are some shadows behind the texts which you probably didn’t note until now. These are all alterations [...]

My PC – his PC

Guess what… size doesn’t matter! At least, when it comes to computer cases, bigger’s never better! The story There are quite some computer stores in my area – one of them has very competent workers and bad product quality, the other has good quality, but the people there give you a lot of BS information. So I [...]

Comprehensive List of Coop Games that’ll actually work

Alex Fink — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 15:32:50 +0000

Let’s be honest: Gaming is fun. But gaming in Coop1 is even more fun. The problem, however, is that there are not too many games out there that’ll actually work in coop against bots. Sometimes it’s because of technical difficulties, sometimes it’s because of design mistakes which can kill the fun. As I have tried [...]

Adieu, Twitter!

Alex Fink — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 05:30:32 +0000

See, I’ve tried Twitter for a while now. And I still find it terribly annoying. It’s not a tool that works for me, because in 140 characters I cannot say what I want to say. Also it doesn’t help me spreading my content, if people still have to jump through tiny links. Also, I [...]

Juarez called – I answered

In the Wild Wild West there are two things men cannot resist: women and gold. This seems fine as long as they are seperated, but what happens if you throw both of them in the middle of three brothers? Call of Juarez – Bound in Blood is not about booze, but about the three McCall brothers [...]

With quite some changes…

… I am back from the dead. I was thinking hard about a make-over for this blog and this is what I came up with. So let me tell you what I’ve done so far. Header A lot of people I spoke to about the design, claimed that its dark header wouldn’t fit the rest of the [...]

Don’t say you don’t about Half Life. If you do – shame on you and good that you’re here to learn about it, because this is one of the most important games EVER! Half Life is a FPS1 series by Valve2 that started out in 1998 where you play as Gordon Freeman, a theoretical physicist, who [...]

How to add a custom box at the login page

Alex Fink — Wed, 20 May 2009 14:59:21 +0000

Have you ever wondered how useless your wordpress backend is to unexperienced web-users? People who don’t know what a backend is won’t even get the idea of your login page. Wouldn’t it be great if you just told them that they are in the wrong place? Here is how the final result can look like: The [...]
