Raiding tombs is one thing, doing it with boobies is another

Tomb Raider: Legends for some insane reason was awesome. Not so much for the setting or the shooting (which is actually quite dull... well its exactly like the classic tomb raider's auto-aim system so nothing new) but more for the climbing and jumping and swinging and all that agile stuff she has to do. I love it. Oh and of course her boobies are as large as ever ;)


Well the story behind the game tells of the fate of her 'deceased' or rather missing mother. When she was a wee bit lass, her mother managed to 'kill' (2nd quote) herself by taking out the 'sword from the stone' (3rd quote). No, seriously. The truth behind it all is that she gets teleported some where unknown, to Nirvana apparently. I'm not going to reveal the twist in the story but now you know there is one.

Lara Croft goes on her adventures as usual, jumping around traps and tigers while shooting down baddies with guns and swinging on poles to get to places. Her costume really varies this time; my favorite of them all is the one piece dress she wears with a really low cut. She then proceeds to rip it off at the legs so she can jump around and shoot people. Practicality eh? Those boobs look fake btw.


And there you have it, Tomb Raider:Legends in a nut shell. Its basically Tomb Raider with slight style and gameplay revamps but still the same Tomb Raider none the less. But I'm a sucker for jumping around dark musty tombs with sexily dressed ladies with big boobs... but I'm a guy. Seriously, the game is quite good. Try it if you can. Oh and just because she's sexy, we have 3 images this time. Hurrah!

Finally my video is done... now come the tournament woes

I'm finally done with the 7 minute video I was supposed to do... although I said and know its not assessed, some how I managed to devote my whole afternoon and evening to coming out with something decent. Well, I don't know if its decent but it should be fine I guess. In any case, its over and done with. Here's the link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLz2Agnz9Cw

That's done with. Now on to the next damn thing on my list: my final year project meeting which is of major importance and the start of the tournaments. The tournaments fill me with dread. Even though I shouldn't really care if no one turns up, I always feel really down when the thing doesn't go well. Oh well I guess I can't have everything right? So I guess all I can do is steel myself for the next challenge and do my best. Organising this tournament is going to be a bitch: there's minimal publicity, almost no emails for registration and above all I have no idea how to run it. Whatever, I'll just do my best damn it...

Anyway I hope I can win the 1000 pounds for the Ideas Challenge; it'll be my funds for my holidays next term. Heh though I think my chances are quite slim. A steamboat restaurant in the UK? lol... its funny even thinking about it.

Projects and Coursework

Projects and coursework hit me all at once. It feels like ages but no, according to that calender of mine, it's been only 2 weeks. What the heck. I'm totally tired out although I really didn't do much. My first completed project was the Business Economics project. I'm quite disappointed with this project, for some reason I feel like I could have done much better since I really like Economics. I had to write up on the different impact of a rise in price on the different hotel industries in the UK. Exciting huh?

At the same time I was working on my Innovation Management project based on Sony Ericsson. Nothing too exciting, I had to find out about their innovation strategy which I based on how they released their products and how they protected their inventions. Its still ongoing actually though I already finished my part, my group mates said my part was good. Haha, all I care about is that I don't have to work on it anymore. I'm in charge of a presentation video for it though, a 7 minute video to be put on You Tube. Its not assessed though so I probably won't do it haha.

The most interesting one of all is the graphics coursework. A lot of programming but I feel like I did something worthwhile. Although I did copy line by code line my friend's code but still... I feel like I understand what's going on at least. Here's the textures and renderings I did.... hope you enjoy it.

Dawn Of War

Yet another RTS game to add to my list of completed games. Not much to say about this except that its based on Games Workshop's best selling Warhammer 40K series, a kind of sci-fi and fantasy setting blended together. You get orcs with guns, daemons, elves using futuristic weapons and all that kind of stuff.

The gameplay is exactly like Company of Heroes (same developer, same gameplay format). There's cover, there's weapons u can buy for your infantry, vehicles like tanks, walking robots and APCs. There are 4 sides among many covered in this game. The Space Marines, human monks religiously devoted to serving their emperor, and by serving I mean dishing out a whole lot of bullets and rockets to the enemy. The Chaos Marines, the polar opposite of the Space Marines; they use Chaos magics to summon demons and the like. The Eldar, the 'elves' of the game using superior technology and magic. And finally the brutish Orks (no I didn't spell that wrong) who use brute force and numbers to win battles.


In the campaign mode you only play the Space Marines unfortunately. Following the story of a Force Commander (basically a beefed up Space Marine commander) you are sent to a planet to repel an Ork invasion. Soon matters escalate in proportion as the Orks attack in exponentially increasing numbers and underneath it all, the Chaos Marines and Eldar are plotting something devious. So you wade into battle and sort it all out. Daemons and what not. Its quite a good storyline actually, its a shame they didn't manage to create several campaigns for the other races. All in all, a good, solid RTS game.
