ENB Screenie

ENB? What the hell is that?? What trickery is he up to this time? you may wonder. Well ENB is a name for a different kind of "view" you can have in a game. Don't know what it actually stands for, I looked, but couldn't find anything.

But what it does, is taking a game, like Skyrim, GTA, Mass Effect, Resident Evil and other games, and changing the way they look.
Not changing the basic components, like switching cool cars to crappy cars, or weapons from modern to flintlock or anything like that, but the pure look, too make the world look better, more real, or cartoon-ish or like an oil painting.
The kind of ENB I got, is called Sharpshooter ENB Classic, cause I dont think my computer can handle much more awesome versions, like the popular Real Vision ENB, that one is just too awesome and heavy.
The only thing that the new ENB had worse then the resolution mod I had installed before, is that the water now looks worse, but I'll fix that later.

Here's a screenie of a fallen tree, to help you see what this ENB does.


As you can see, the tree is mostly in focus, but everything around, is out of focus. This is the essence of Sharpshooter ENB. Only what you look at, is in focus, just as in real life. Everything else is a slight blur.


As you can see, from my old version, to my new, the water looks worse, but I think, that over all, the world looks better.

Do you agree?

Nerd News

So the courts have finally said, that having a computer, is no longer equal to having a TV.
All of last year, anyone with a computer that could connect to the internet, in other words every damn computer in the country, including tablets and smart phones, would have to pay the licence for TV.
But the courts have now said, that this is stupid, well maybe they used different words, but still. They said, that even thou a computer CAN connect to the internet, and thus, gain access to TV programs and even streamed TV, it wasn't meant for that, and thus, should not be included in the licence.

I dont know about you, but I found this to be good news, specially, since I only watch TV at work.

So what else is new? Well, I bought and ate my first box of strawberries of the year yesterday. It was good. I also installed Warhammer Dawn of War 2 again, cause I was bored, so you might get to see a screenie of that on sunday, who knows.

Speaking of games thou, GTA V will come out on PC finally. September 17 I belive the official date is. And I for one, cant wait. It looks awesome, but it might be a bit heavy for my computer, might have to save up some cash and get a better graphics card at the very least.
The other games I want, might also need a better graphics card, but I think they'll run just fine on what I have. Remains to be seen I guess.

Creepy Snow

My new monster mod sometimes scares the shit out of me. Seriously scare me.
Especialy when I'm out in the world, minding my own shit, mining some iron node, turn around and then BAAM!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!
Seriously... what kind of nightmareish drugs where the creator of this mod on when he made that?? Demonic LSD? Satan's own cocaine? Whatever he was on... it sure scared my pants off :P

Nothing new has really happened otherwise in the world of my gaming, its still Skyrim, as you can see, and so far, the only other game I want to play, isn't out yet, and I dont want to buy the pre-launch, as its still in BETA testing. And then there is another game I also want, but that one, you cant even get "early access" too. Might as well be so, let me save some money first :P

But as soon as I have em, you'll know.

Serious Saves

Just made my 1000nd save in Skyrim!!
Hurray!!
Or something. I know you guys probably dont care one bit about that.. but for me, its a rather big thing. I've never played a single player game this much before.
The only other games I've played more of, is World of Warcraft, 7 years, and Diablo 2 on Battle.net, 2 years. But both those games, are online. Granted, Diablo 2 is a single player game, that has online functions, but Skyrim, doesn't have any of that. So its a single player game only.
And who would have guessed I would clock in 550 hours of game play and 1000 saves? I didn't... I did NOT see that coming. Specially from a game I first tried and didn't like.. then tried it again, and freakin loved it! :P

This image, was taken just a few seconds before I made my 1000 save. These two creatures, do not normally exist in the normal world of Skyrim, they come from a monster mod I have. One of them, the green one, is a deadra monster, and the brown one that is also on fire, is a cyclops.
When I came in to the cave, I found em doing battle. The deadra lost, and to avange his death... I killed the cyclops. All thou, if the cyclops had lost ,I would have "avanged" him too :P

You all know what this means right? You get a free screen shot entry.. in the middle of the week!!!
Aren't you guys just sooooo happy? You didn't have to wait until next sunday after all!!
I know, I know, you want to shower me with thanks and flowers and hugs, but I'm just doing what I know you want, its my.... duty!!!

I. Will. Never. Fail. Your needs for more screen shots...

Twins by the Door

Meet a pair of twins by the Jarls door in Dragonsreach. Did not see that coming. Do like their outfits thou :P


Been runing around alot latetly, doing the usual stuff, but with the new monster mod I have, I get to fight some increasingly diffficult, wildly different and awesome enemies.
Today for example, I found 3 Balrog's roaming around some hotsprings. They did not go down easy, and when pounding me with their swords that was buring, the whole ground shook, just like when giants hammer down on you. It was an awesome fight, and I almost died a few times. Good thing I had a good supply of health potions.
I no longer have a good supply of health potions.

Later, while runing up a hill to get to my quest objective, the world got Angry Matrix on me.


Some of my mods makes the world sometimes go mental, this was one of those times... it didn't help that I was also attacked by an angry Saber Cat... no worries thou, I got him, even managed to find him and get his hide and an eye, but still... was the longest fight I've ever had with a kitty.

And for the keen eyed readers, yes, that thing in the corner, is also a new mod, giving me knowledge at all time what time of day it is, and if it actually is day.. or night.
The first screen shot, tells us, that the sun had just gone down, and the second, that it was almost midnight.
Dont try and figure out what day it is thou, couse I have no idea how to read those things.
Midas? Loredas? Monday? Loreday? What ever... its awesome.

Gender-smender!

Thought I'd drop a few lines before I go out and get hammered at a friends place. In other words, have a few beers with a few good friends, and then being able to walk home if needed. I dont get hammered anymore, its not as fun as it seems to have been in my eariler years.
This also means, that if I do drink say, 5-6 beers (class 3 that is, the kind you get at the pub), I'm gone! I'll be so wasted, I'll hardly be able to lift my own head, let alone walk anywhere :P

I thought I'd wright a little about something that is a big thing here in Sweden, gender genus, or gender equality.
Many seem to think, that this is a thing about making everything not only equal, that say woman and men should get the same pay for the same job, or that both man and woman in a parent situation should get equal amount of parent leave.
No what they are screaming about, is that the genders dont realy exist. At least this is what I've understood.
They want to teach kids to be both girls and boy at the same time. Even thou both men and women, little girl and boy, continuously prove it all wrong.
I saw a show on TV a while back, about this thing, and they interviewed a single mom I think, well, she was a mom anyway, no idea if there was a guy around too.
She said that she was teaching her son to become a "hen" or in english, he/she him/her... hem? Hir? What ever.
She told the TV reporter, that she made sure that the boy had both "male" and "female" toys and cloths, and that "hen" then could chose what ever he wanted to play with or dress like.
Now this is a nice thought, dont get me wrong. If a boy wants to play with police cars while wearing a dress, then more power to him. But what I saw in the interview, was a sad and misguided woman, that tried desperatly to prove a point, that didn't even work on her own son.
She admited that the boy never played with the girl toys, never wanted to wear a skirt of dress, and always asked for the t-shirt with the cool monsters on them. That his favorite toys where the cars and action figures.
Yet she tried to make it all seem like he was the next generation of "hen's", the next generation of gender neutral people.

Beard and tatoos? *faint*
When ever I see these things, I cant help but look at the various researches that has been done, as well as my own observations.
When the movement of this gender genus thing started, it was naturally started by femenists, if you say that is not true, then you are just lying to yourself, and the world looked like it always had.
But from my own observation alone, I have come to the conclussion, that men and women, dont really want gender neutrality.
First of all, more and more men around the country, is now sporting beards, me included (all thou I've wanted one since I was 15), and even the woman, those I know atleast, who are for the gender neutrality or gender genus, are all drawn to men with beards.
And I think it's rather well known, that a beard, is really REALLY manly. A man become so much more of a man, when he has facial hair. A beard is sexy, manly and shows strenght.
If you dont agree, then fuck off, couse its been proven for the past 10 000 years.

So what made me want to wright this? Well I saw something in the new gym I go to these days, the same company, just a new, closer location. And I noticed something that they have, that I've never seen before, that made me think; "These guys know what men and women are."
And its as simple as a door.
When going in to the mens locker room, you round 2 corners, and you are there. No doors, so if you want to see naked man butts and some flacid penises, all you have to do, is lean in, and BAM! you got penises.
But to the womens locker room, the first corner is blocked by a door, with a handle, so you cant peek in.
Now before you start calling me a pervert for noticing or what ever, allow me to explain why this is so interesting, and "non gender genus-ist".
Now I haven't asked any men or women about this, but I think, that the number I am about to present, is rather accurate.
Lets say that 10 guys are in their locker room, for some stupid reason, all of them are naked and either on their way to the showers, or about to get dressed. A woman comes in to change and get ready for an hour of gym workout. 9 out of those 10 men, wouldn't care less, they would allow her to change, even use the showers when she is done. A few of them would naturally think dirty thoughts, but all of them wouldn't mind, wouldn't shield themselves or even ask the woman to leave "cause this is the mens room".
2nd scenario, same thing, but the other way around. 10 women in the womens locker room, all naked, and a man comes in to change for his session at the weights.
10 out of 10 women would scream to high heavens for the man to leave, shield themselves and even call the police.
Why is this? Well, men dont mind being seen naked, women, in general, do.
But if all men and women truelly wanted gender nautrality/genus, then scenario 1 and 2, would look identical, either like the first or the second.
But the good people at Member24, know different. Because men and women are different.
So that simple little door, is one of the things I love about that gym.

And lastly, one more thing to the people that say that we ARE the same, no matter what we have between our legs, you have been proven wrong many times by something called... Science!
Look it up.

Imperial Constructions

Got the updated, HD version, of Age of Empires II.
Its not realy an HD version thou, its just so you can play it again on more modern computers and have it set to 1920p resolution screens... beyond that, its the same game as far as i can tell.
But it is a good game, so I guess it made sense to release it again like this.

I'm usually doing the campaign's, but at times, I play a random map, like here.


I became the Aztecs in this random map. And about half an hour after that screen shot was taken, I got attacked from 4 sides... bastards...

So I did what every guy who hasn't had lunch yet would do.. I rage quit :P

Now I'm off thou to vote in the European Parlament. Hope it will go smoothly.
