School Books
Today I got a letter from the school, with the list of the books I have to buy and read during this semester.
The 3 books is about different subjects, one about analysis, another about software design, and a 3rd about the use of IT in companies, and hopefully going to be a interesting read.
- Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with the Unified Process
- Java Software Solutions: Foundation of Program Design
- Organisation (Danish)
KalOnline Worldmap Viewer
I just made another small tool for KalOnline, a World Overview Map, with numbers for the single zones, so it is easier to figure out which map one need to edit
The zones are created from the KCM files in the %DATA%\MAPS\ folder, using a C# application, and then PHP to create the presentation table.
Illegal Danish II - Escape from Orgrimmar
Finaly! Illegal Danish 2 is ready, and after almost two days with DoS attacks on the Myndflame website, they got the video airborne, available on Stage6.
However, I must say I'm quite unimpressed. The first movie Illegal Danish - Super Snacks was hillarious, and one would laugh from the start to the end. Myndflame did not managed to repeat the success in Escape from Orgrimmar.
Besides from the video allready being delayed over a half year, as it was surposed to be released at BlizzCon, the video is full of small sequences with random content that pretty much want you wind the movie forward (which is sadly not possible on a Stage6 stream.)
The entire movie seems to lack design, and Myndflame who used to be one of the better Machinima makers, seem to have been falling behind, leaving better authors such as Baron Soosdon that made videos such as I'm so sick (T-Virus mix , from the Resident Evil - Extinction Soundtrack).
I do hope that Myndflame once put some more effort in some new videos in 2008, and have a bit better storyline next time.
While we wait, I can only recomend watching some more of Baron Soosdons videos, found on his Stage6 profile.
(The Unlimited Escapism series are really superiour, and some of the best Machinima made so far.)
