Connection Woes Continue

20 October, 2007 (12:20) | Personal | By: Loris Z.

The connection at home has been having quite a number of issues, but I hope to have it fixed in about two more weeks (Agh. Agh.)

Finishing Persona #6. A little less than a half already done, and it will be finished next week. Just in time for the new event we’ll be attending in two weeks.

So, how are you?

Frappr map to cover for the absence. Add photos, people!

Much love.

UFO: Alien Invasion

11 October, 2007 (05:54) | Gaming | By: Loris Z.

Great, just what I needed: a wonderful distraction.

Many years ago, when the only way I had to play pc games was to stalk some friends, I was really into a series of games named X-COM. Turn-based sci-fi strategy. Man versus the Alien Invasion. Research. Science. Shootings. Fear.

I’ve just read at RockPaperShotgun that there’s a team making an opensource variant of it, named UFO: Alien Invasion.

(UFO was the american name of the X-COM saga)

I’m downloading it now, biting my nails. It looks very good.

The official website is here.

They’re looking for beta testers, so if you have time, give them a hand?

I leave a couple of screenshots.

Alan Moore Interview

9 October, 2007 (03:08) | Comics | By: Loris Z.

Over at Telegraph.co.uk

‘The first step into magic is the human imagination. The world of the mind and the world of matter are both real, but in different ways. In fact, if one is more important than the other, it’s probably the world of the imagination, where the world of human artefacts, well, all of it, actually originates. The basic paradigm of science tends to rule out consciousness, imagination, because they’re not repeatable in empirical laboratory conditions. So it struck me that perhaps through magic there might be a different way to interact with the mind. This might in fact have been what magicians were talking about all along.’

Food for thought.
