<br />
Today we will continue going through my past, by talking about the probably most important console to me: the PS one. For those of you that don't know, this model is the slimmer version of the PSX.<br />
Now bear with me, but my first video game was Disneys Dinosaurs... I know, it was a stupid game, but I was a little kid and it was really exciting. Anyway, I got the game and console on Christmas, I think 1999 or 2000, and I played through the whole game in less then 5 hours. Keep in mind, I was a noob back then. Today, I would probably beat it in 2 hours.<br />
Moving on, there were a handful of shitty games until I got the first big thing: Final Fantasy 8. I don't need to tell you how amazing this game was, and actually still is. But I was out of luck, because the CDs got scratched so fast, that I could not play through the whole game. Also, I got Final Fantasy 7 in between. Now that one was much easier to play, and I made it until the end. <br />
In the next month, I only got better games, like Vagrant Story, Parasite Eve 2, and of course Final Fantasy 9. For the latter, I still think that this was the best FF so far. Not because of the gameplay, but rather the storyline, the characters and the whole world. It was a master piece. For todays FFs, I don't like them anymore. They lost their charm after Final Fantasy 10, most likely because Hironobu Sakaguchi and most of the original production team of Final Fantasy left Squaresoft.<br />
<br />
Okay, as you have seen I exclusively talked about games from Squaresoft (today Square Enix). But there were other games, like Breath of Fire 4. It was a 2D RPG in a 3D environment, but it could not compare to the Final Fantasy series. The cutscences and overall graphic could not compete to the others.<br />
Tekken 3 was a great beat'em up. I, my brother and a friend of mine played it for hours and hours. But playing this so extensively, I cannot say that todays Tekken games are better. The games are much faster now and have a little arcade feeling, but the controls are way to stiff for that speed. It just feels like some sort of hybrid between arcade and a reality-like game, and it does not do good on any type of them.<br />
The counter part of Tekken was Battle Arena Toshinden 4. This game was a pickup and play Beat'em Up with weapons. The great thing about it was the fact that you could type in some commands, and it made a combo out of it. <br />
And I could go on with the games, but I cannot remember all of them. Also, I just wanted to name the most important games to me. So stay tuned, because we still have some consoles ahead.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-53316917373636650502011-02-09T14:46:00.000+01:002011-02-09T14:46:23.818+01:00About BDOSHi there,<br />
<br />
So you may were wondering about BDOS and what happened to it. It's simple: I terminated it.<br />
There are a couple of reasons, the most significant: I wasn't satisfied with it. It had flaws that I could not live with, and I couldn't change either. On the same level, I didn't like the administration tool (YaST).<br />
Going on, you had to register yourself in order to download it. While all you need was a Google account, I still don't think that this was a good redistribution channel.<br />
And last but not least, the success was rather disappointing, so that wasn't fun, too.<br />
<br />
With those arguments, I just didn't like this project. Also, I don't believe that I could have improved these cons. Oh, and if you do not know what BDOS is, feel free to take a look at my blog :-)Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-58538064296203748762011-02-08T12:16:00.000+01:002011-02-08T12:16:17.887+01:00This WeekendHi there,<br />
<br />
Sorry that I haven't been online this weekend, I was busy with my brother. He will stay at my place for a little while, meaning that I won't have much time for my blog. I still try to keep up with all my readings, but updates will become more rarely, probably.<br />
Also I wanted to let you know that I am still working on my game consoles article, but the next one will be a bit bigger, as we are going for the PS one.<br />
<br />
Oh, and mark your calendar on the 14. February, because its my birthday. A nice excuse so you can care about valentines day ;)Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-44340945833815939002011-02-04T14:47:00.000+01:002011-02-04T14:47:03.190+01:00Gaming consolesHi there,<br />
<br />
Today I want to talk about my video game consoles, which I have/had quite a few. Lets start with my first one, the Sega Master System. Back then, I was just a little child and didn't even attend school. We only had a couple of games, namely Sonic 2, Lemmings, some tennis game and of course Alex the kid. Looking back in time, I am actually relieved with the choice of games that we bought back then. They were really good, but I think I was to young to understand them.<br />
Going on, I was introduced to the PC. But not just any PC, it was a Pentium 1 CPU with 133 Mhz! ON Top of that, we had an amazing RAM of 32 MB and a 2 MB graphics card (I think it was a Hercules Graphics Terminator, but I am not sure). It was amazing, especially due to the RTS games like Warcraft 2, Dune 2000 and Starcraft. Then there were games like Diablo, K.K.N.D Krossfire and others. It was amazing, and I think this was the part of my childhood that lived on until now, given that the computer is still a central part of my life.<br />
<br />
Okay, here I take a break and start writing out the next part of this series. Please let me know the games and consoles you grew up with and the best/worst memories you have.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-19817338576263044972011-02-04T03:42:00.000+01:002011-02-04T03:42:53.428+01:00Sorry, now I am backHi there,<br />
<br />
I am truthfully sorry that I did not made a new post on this blog. At some point, I must"ve forgotten about it all along. So see this as my revival from the dead :-)<br />
<br />
For a new part, I want to change the topic from my blog. As of now, it will not only be Linux related stuff, but also my other personal interests, and some video games :D So stay patient with me for a few moments, and I will have something interesting for you to read.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-8787145279146863232010-10-26T16:24:00.000+02:002010-10-26T16:24:20.756+02:00I am back!Hi there,<br />

<br />
I just want to say good night, I am going to sleep now. I haven't been working on my blog now or anything related to it, but I want to. Now, I am going to write an Expose and see if I like it. I also worked on an update to BDOS, as I found something missing. Until then, have fun.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com29tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-46725723357559362642010-10-19T14:37:00.000+02:002010-10-19T14:37:36.516+02:00MorningMorning @all,<br />

Twitter slowly grows, right now there are only 6 followers. This made me thinking about Facebook once again. But then, I really don't like Facebook, so screw that.<br />
Also, I wanted to remind you about the <a href="http://blaustil.blogspot.com/2010/10/post-your-desktop.html">desktop wallpaper contest</a>.

Today is a nice, very relaxing day. So I had a great idea, and made a new twitter account. There, I can post you updates and you can send me PMs, so we can get in touch. Anyway, <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/blaustil">here is the link</a>.<br />

While I was browsing all your blogs, I mentioned that we haven't had this topic already. So why not post your Desktops and make a contest out of it? What do you think?<br />

<br />
Today I am going to stop counting, since it the numbers can become huge over time.<br />
Yesterday, I watched some of the shows that you recommended, but besides the office, I didn't find anything interesting and/or new. Somehow, it seems like TV shows become worse and worse.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
On another note, I tried a new game. It is called <a href="http://globulation2.org/wiki/Main_Page">Globulation 2</a>, a weird strategy game that is meant to reduce macro management to zero. It takes time to get used to it, but it seems like fun. Here is a screenshot:<br />

Yes, this question is real. I just looked through the new series that are running right now. In the end, it doesn't seem like there is any new series airing, that is at least watchable.

I am back, once again. But there is one problem, I now have to clean up my home, take care of my plants, pets, and such. So still not really the time to do something in here, but I will get there. And I finally want to write some articles about BDOS.<br />
In excuse for my absence, have a nice song:<br />

<br />
I am really sorry that I wasn't online today. But my grandma needed help, and now I am suffering of sleep deprivation from the sleeping schedule of last week. So it really isn't the best time of my life to start a blog. I hope you can still stay patient with me.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com19tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-15280496876206654272010-10-14T21:49:00.001+02:002010-10-14T21:49:42.177+02:00Game: Battle of Wesnoth<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wesnoth.org/images/sshots/wesnoth-1.9.0-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://www.wesnoth.org/images/sshots/wesnoth-1.9.0-6.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wesnoth is one of those games, you either like or hate. It is a very simple, straight forward to begin with and still only recommandable to brainiacs. </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The game is turnbased tactics at its finest. The goal is to reach a specific spot on the battlefield or crush the enemy, depending on your mission. It sounds easy and straight forward, but it is not. You have a hero, who is able to recruit new minions on a castle. After this, you command your soldiers in battle on a hexagon field. During the fight, they will gain expierence and get stronger, as well as becoming a higher class. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And this is it, pretty much. There are of course different races as elves, humans, dwarfs, orcs, undead and so on. Every race has a different set of characters with their own specialities. There is also a day/night shift and the soldiers strength in/decreases, depending on where they stand. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.wesnoth.org/images/sshots/wesnoth-1.9.0-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://www.wesnoth.org/images/sshots/wesnoth-1.9.0-4.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After you won a mission, the campaign goes on and in the next session, you can recruit your soldiers from the last mission. This is a very important feature, because in the later game it is unavoidable that your units have a high level. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is also a multiplayer modi, including online games. Needless to say, that you get the full game with eveything there is to it. You select your race, set parties and fight 'til death.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sadly, this game leaks a build modus, where you could create your own base. Also, every other way to make a change of the gameplay is missing, so it gets monoton pretty fast. And if you are one of the lucky few who actually can stand this game for a longer period, you'll be mad because of the difficulty. Even in the easier campaigns the game gets horribly hard.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the end, I can only repeat myself. Try the game and see it for yourself, it's free and you don't need to register or anything like that.</span><br />

I just want to keep up with my followers and comments. It is hard work, as there are more than 150 of you now, thank you.<br />
Besides that, I have an article already written. On top of that, I collect a few videos on Youtube that will show some features that are included in BDOS.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-15159080010229328812010-10-13T11:58:00.000+02:002010-10-13T11:58:50.148+02:00Morning the thirteenthMorning @all,<br />
<br />
Today I am finally able to spend more time with this blog. So now I installed BDOS on my netbook and look if it works out.<br />
Since the question was raised yesterday, why did I not include OpenOffice? For the same reason I did not include Chromium: They are both insanely huge and waste a lot of space. You can still install these with the package manager, but I wanted a small and lighter distribution, that can fit on a CD if it has to.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com37tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-4166283943538699252010-10-12T23:11:00.000+02:002010-10-12T23:11:04.806+02:00Some thoughts on BDOSHi there,<br />
<br />
once again no article, but I mean to write one over night. This post is meant to give you some general impressions on my new baby.<br />
As you have seen, I made quite some text yesterday. This is actually a feature many distributions use to represent their new releases, so I wanted this tradition to catch on. But, it isn't all candy.<br />
To give you one example, <a href="http://www.koffice.org/">Koffice</a> isn't a hundred percent stable in its current form. I also forgot some features, as <a href="http://www.skype.com/">Skype</a> and some games I included. Still, the software I included in BDOS is the software I use everyday and that I can recommend without doubts, despite the flaws I mentioned above.<br />
<br />
And one last message: I did not know that you have to register in order to download this software. But since we all have Google accounts already, registration isn't to hard.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-59451804914131927462010-10-12T09:26:00.001+02:002010-10-12T09:26:35.100+02:00Morning the twelfthsMorning @all,<br />
<br />
Today I have to go out with my niece, so I am not online for the morning, most likely it will take until afternoon. So sadly, I still have to leave you alone with BDOS. If you like, you can install it on a usb stick and play around with it. You cannot destroy anything, so have fun.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-11498284886735853512010-10-12T01:07:00.001+02:002010-10-12T01:12:42.127+02:00And now?Hi there,<br />
<br />
Thank you all for your patience, I hope I did not stretch it out too far. <a href="http://blaustil.blogspot.com/2010/10/finally-after-some-days-of-hard-work.html">After BDOS is released</a> now, what will happen in the future?<br />
First of all, I can now start making tutorials and explanations, as this was my original goal. The reason why I created BSOD was simple: I needed a base to work on. When I write an article about something on Linux, many people will use different software. But this way, I have a foundation to work on.<br />
Secondly, I still don't know what else there is. Yeah, I am still stuck on that one. Maybe I should write more about games, because games are always great.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-40451084239221010642010-10-11T20:18:00.020+02:002010-10-13T11:28:43.763+02:00Some additional informations to BDOS<b>What's the default password?</b><br />

Not really, you'll need to install additional files. This can be done with one simple command.<br />
<br />
1. Open Konsole.<br />
2. Enter "winetricks corefonts vcrun6"<br />
3. Follow the instructions and wait until it's finished. Don't pay too much attention to the console itself, the text is a simple progress meter.<br />
<br />
With the command "winetricks steam", you'll install steam. But notice that this will install everything on your current media, and a game will most likely be to big for a usb stick.<br />
Also, when you are ask to install the gecko engine, say yes. This is necessary to view websites like the steam store.<br />

Note that this is the first release, if there is something missing or you would like an additional feature, let me know it.<br />
Also, the KOffice software isn't complete free of errors. Sadly, there was no alternative, as OpenOffices needs way, way to much disk space.<br />
See <a href="http://blaustil.blogspot.com/2010/10/some-additional-informations-to-bdos.html">this post for additional informations</a>.<br />
For install instructions, see <a href="http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick">here</a>. It is for OpensSuse, but it should work for BDOS as well.<br />

<br />
I hope you had a great sunday, mine was full of success. As I already told you, <a href="http://blaustil.blogspot.com/2010/10/me-1-bugs-0.html">the major bug is gone</a>, and since then I only had a few minor issues. But the should be gone by now, so I will power up a good presentation to you. Stay tuned, because today it is getting hot.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-46246341500100663682010-10-10T15:42:00.000+02:002010-10-10T15:42:51.236+02:00Me 1 : Bugs 0Hi there,<br />
<br />
So finally I did it. The Bug is gone and we are now ready for public testing (You might want to call it beta :-) ).<br />
For those who are curios: I removed an additional package, of which I thought was unnecessary. It turns out it had an additional dependency, which is used to create menu entries. And since it was not available, there where no menu entries.<br />
And now I am out of here, the sun is shining and it is warm outside. So please stay patient with me.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443314511933997914.post-10716930932648705682010-10-10T13:16:00.000+02:002010-10-10T13:16:12.554+02:00Morning the tenthMorning @all,<br />
<br />
Thank you all for your support, it really keeps me motivated. But the bad is still there, the bug is not gone. I have an idea that will maybe fix it, and if this does not work, I don't know what does.<br />
Also, I am sorry for not posting any articles in the last time. I started to write about Wesnoth, but between RL and building and testing a Linux, there is not much time to write.Nie Mandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12481932044980439832noreply@blogger.com14
