Game: Kerbal Space Program
Monday, June 03, 2013

I have been sort of MIA from this blog, not because I am doing anything important, I have just been too damn addicted to this game.

Kerbal Space Program website

It is one of the most fun game that I have ever played that is still in development/beta. In short, the objective of this game is to build a spaceship and go to space. As it is still in development, you get to stretch your imagination as far out as you can and do whatever kind of crazy shit you want to. (Sandbox mode)

Been playing for the past... 4 or 5 days pretty much non-stop. The first thing I did was to try and land on the Moon, which I failed terribly and crashed into it. I learned how to set up a perfect orbit around Earth. (well, it's called Kerbal in the game)

Last of all, I spent like 3 days to really master how to build a spacestation. Which is something I'm in progress of now. Trying to dock 2 ships in space is definitely not as easy as I thought it would be.


So, the largest Space Station that I have managed to build so far is this.

Orbiting at ~265,000 km

Since there isn't any limit to what you can do, you can make really crazy looking rockets. This isn't really that crazy though, I've seen people online making just ridiculous designs.


So... after countless hours of tinkering, I decided to redo the space station, it's still in the early stages but I am really looking forward to how it'll look like once I've finish building it.

Huge fuel tank to fuel ships to venture further out

Turn on the lights! Yes, lights are important

I have gone through countless of designs just to send stuffs to the station. I refrain from reading guides of any sort online as it'll sort of defeat the purpose and make this a lot less fun. Pretty much just trial and error all the way until I get the design correct, then I'll start all over again trying to make it better.

As you can probably tell by now, this is an extremely geeky game. But if you're interested, you can find it on steam. (or torrent)

This probably isn't the greatest way to spend my time since I'm entering into a prison of some sort. (more on this another time) Man, I really need to clear out my blogging list soon.

Thoughts on Dota 2
Wednesday, November 21, 2012


Apparently, I started playing this game called Dota 2. Which is the modern reincarnation of the popular custom Dota game in Warcraft 3. However, as it's made by Steam, the Steam engine changes the physics of the game tremendously. (and it feels weird)

For all my friends who know me, I hate Dota. It's a stupid game. Partly because I suck at it, and mostly because it's an extremely waste of time. A short game on average is 20 minutes. A normal game on average is 45 minutes, and a long game can drag for way longer than 1 hour. Sure there are other games that could suck up hours upon hours of my time playing it. But the game resets every time, your levels and money in game doesn't translate anywhere else. It's like a really shitty RPG game.

Of course, it's not all negative for such a popular game among my friends. As I've finally started to learn it properly this time round, it has started to become rather interesting for me. In the sense that I find the gameplay rather interesting but nothing much more than that.

Thing is, I don't feel the fizz playing it. Excitement or sense of achievement, it's virtually non-existent. Easy matches are boring, hard matches are just plain insulting, it's very rare to find a match where our abilities and skills are closely matched. On average we win and lose 50% of the time. Which is vexing for me, it's like we're neither here nor there.

On a whole, I'm not a fan of micro-intensive games. Which is why I love RTS games with all the macro shenanigans, where you pit armies against armies, instead of controlling a measly unit. I enjoy losing in RTS more than winning in games like Dota. It just doesn't appeal to me.

That said, it's not like I play it with a dead mind the entire time, there have been moments or games in Dota 2 that awakened the gamer instinct in me. There just isn't too many of them. I say this only after pouring in about 40 hours of gameplay in the span of 2 weeks. So I don't think I will ever love Dota as much as my friends do, but I probably wouldn't mind playing it just for the fun of it. Or for socializing purposes.

If you feel like owning a noob at a game he's not interested in, you can always contact me. We could have an inhouse game or something.

Till then I really need a computer capable of playing games without lagging. What's the point of having a powerful internet if your computer doesn't make use of it?

Valid reason for not blogging - MapleStory
Sunday, May 13, 2012

As you've noticed I haven't wrote anything for 2 days.
"I've been playing MapleStory."


2 days level 71!

If you're playing or something, find me, I'm LordofGeeks.
So... well, everything has changed. I'm kind of hooked onto it, because I'm trying to catch up with my friends. Maybe I'll write something proper later. But it's really cute right now.

pew pew pew!
