The Fantasy Art of Drawn: Trail of Shadows Wed, 02 Nov 2011 10:59:00 +0000 Hi Everyone! We've added a section on the new Drawn game, Trail of Shadows. Like previous games it is beautifully illustrated, and the game retains the same "painted scene" cartoony feel of the previous games. Epic vistas and magical occurences, combined with fast-paced gameplay make it feel like you are experiencing a fairy tale movie. Definitely worth at least trying the demo. Thank you for following this blog and visiting our site. Enjoy! [...]

Haven't posted anything here in a while because I'm deep in playing that old game, Neverwinter Nights 2. Finally, years later, it's a great game to play because of the expansions that also, incidentally, give new functionality to the Original Campaign. Taking tons of screenshots on the way and once I've finished the Original Campaign, I'll probably take a brief break to post everything before continuing onto the expansions. In the meantime, to see what I've been up to, you can check out the evolving walkthroughs/notes for Neverwinter Nights 2 that I've been working on.

New desktop, and the Fantasy Art of Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Mon, 28 Feb 2011 09:59:00 +0000 src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=FFFFFF&IS2=1&npa=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=fantartandpor-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&m=amazon&f=ifr&asins=B0028IBTPC" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"> Hi Everyone! You may remember that we announced that our gaming laptop died recently. I hadn't anticipated buying another one for several months, as I was looking into options for a 4-GPU system and had been quoted C$4000 for it. More research revealed that I would probably not want even 2 GPUs for a while, and by then I'd probably be getting whatever was on the market at the time. So I settled for just one GPU and capped it at 1 GB because benchmarks show that 2 GB doesn't give you a lot more bang for your buck. The desktop recommended by local North Vancouver, BC, Canada outfit Global Express Communication included a Gigabyte X58A-UD5 motherboard (which has curious innovations like a backup BIOS); a massive Lancool case that hums with five fans and has practically no screws involved in opening it or adding cards and drives; Intel i7 CPU at 3.2 GHz (not overclocked); and XFX Radeon HD 5770 graphic card (1 out of 3 possible on the motherboard). Except for having gone cheap with a less-than-1TB hard drive, Windows 7 scored the desktop as having a Windows Experience Index of 7.4 out of 7.9. Total price under C$1500 -- and GEC delivered it right to my home! title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/z0hwk0Dd3Og" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen> I'm still sorting through the documentation, but in the meantime installed Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion with Vibrant Textures, turned up all the hardware-controlled graphics settings to max (8x Anti-Aliasing with Super Sampling, 16x Anisotropic Filtering, High Quality Mipmap Detail), and took some new screenshots of the Imperial City Market District. I've put them at the start of the slideshow for your convenience if you'd like to check it out. Thank you for following this blog and visiting our website. Enjoy! [...]
Playing Empire at War Wed, 26 Jan 2011 08:05:00 +0000 Just a quick update...We're presently playing Star Wars: Empire at War, so there might not be any fantasy art additions to the website for a little while. We hope the over 30000 pictures there will keep you busy, though! Thank you for visiting our website and following this blog. Cheers! |
