Click here for our new blogging home!
Cheers!

Melting in the sun ... even indoors
So ... I'm not happy with the long rant I have for a tutorial, so I've been experimenting with a different way of presenting one that is easier to follow. Much easier. But first the Disanthus site needs to be redone.
Yes. Again.
The current version (no.9) is a bit of a pain (for me), so it needs to go. The v.10 layout is pretty much done, but we're still contemplating on codes. It used to be easy and fun for me; slicing up the images, opening notepad and writing the codes, sending it to Annette for approval and improvements. But now it just takes time away from what I really want to concentrate on, which is painting. See, I like to keep the layout fresh, because I often get bored with it after a while, which means a new site design and doing the process all over again. I know it's a pain, but I'm like a kid that wants to get it done now.
In the meantime, Italy has been booted out of the World Cup (after France's demise), so it's not all bad >:)

Of 'net woes & zombies
I've been having major 'net connection problems lately, so I haven't been online as much as I used to, so updates have been incredibly sporadic. Although I do have stuff I can upload on the site, it will have to wait until the new design is ready.
Also, my order for Resident Evil 5 has finally arrived. Good grief! This thing was sold out everywhere! I will definitely work some more on the site design this weekend, but I must prioritize: RE5 comes first. Oh yes, Steroid Chris and Shevalicious will be mine to play with all day ^___^

Yep, it is as I have foreseen ...
Assassin's Creed II owns my soul.
As I've been telling Annette: this is the most fun I've had with a game since Metal Gear Solid 3, and I was obsessed with that game!
---------S P O I L E R---------
I think I'm making pretty good time in AC2; Ezio's arrived in Venice with Leonardo, and I had to save this brutally ungrateful chick. So far, I've acquired four of the six assassin's seal and completed the renovations at Monteraggio villa (which means I have money to burn). I've been able to buy the best armour and weapons that I could get at this point in the game, but I've actually found it more enjoyable and rewarding to fight my enemies barehanded, simply because it takes less time to disarm them then to defeat them with the weapons I have at my disposal.
The only time I was actually stuck in the game was during the Altaïr sequence. I was at it for nearly an hour before giving up and looking for answers on Youtube (yeah, what?!). Fortunately, that was the only time I was frustrated about the game, although looking for the assassin's seal in Forli had me cursing quite a bit.
Other than a few hiccups, I've been amazed with this game. It looks superb, the controls aren't bothering me a bit and exploring nearly every nook and cranny in each town has definitely been rewarding. I fear that Venice may be Ezio's last stop in the game, so I'll definitely be taking my time because I don't want it to end :(
---------E N D -- S P O I L E R---------
Oh, and this is my current desktop wallpaper, edited with my own brushes because I don't like white backgrounds in my wallpapers. I think it's pretty cool. I've re-sized the image, because with my original screen size it's rather large.
I've also started writing (and re-writing) the tutorial I promised, so I'll upload that (hopefully) before the weekend. I probably won't publish everything at once, though ...
