Don't wanna "meat up" with a coyote

On my way to The Academy of Sciences in the GGP to meet up with Trevor I saw this sign. It's relatively often nowadays. There's probably a whole family pack of them roaming the park at night...

Happy Memorial Day

Happy Memorial Day everyone! To celebrate we let you all gawk at this gorgeous pic of our Sausalito and San Francisco in the hazy distance.

Drought. Garden. Work.

Besides fixing the roof we have to do something about the garden. The mandatory water cuts aren't troubling us as all plants are resilient but Sarah wants to rearrange them and I think I get the drift. Kinda.

The best tenants ever!

Daryl and Lea who have rented the mid-section of our house since September checked out the other day. And they left the house in such a super clean condition that we are totally astonished. It's like it never has been occupied at all :-)

The Witcher 3 launch trailer

Everything is about The Witcher 3 now. Watch this launch cinematic and you will get a good grip of what The Witcher is all about. This is pure awesomeness.

A Masterpiece...

Praise for The Witcher 3. Click on the pic to read and watch.

Fallout 4 confirmed?

Are we stepping one step closer to Fallout 4? A CG artist listed a Fallout cinematic trailer on his LinkedIn profile. Does that say anything of real substance? It depends but this artist has been working on Far Cry 4 and Forza (also listed on the profile) so it can't be too far fetched to interpret this as legit info. We will probably know a lot more at this year's E3 in June. Bethesda is going to have its own conference, the first ever, and we are cautiously optimistic this time around.

Dead Island 2 delayed

The follow-up to Techlands Dead Island is pushed back into 2016. This means at least a 6-month delay. A lot of games are being delayed nowadays so it's not something strange. The reason behind this one? It's not stated but we can imagine after the success of Dying Light and after the mediocre reception of the gameplay footage from last year they need to ramp up the whole franchise in quite a few ways.

Silent Hills has gone down the hills

Silent Hills is canceled. Should we be surprised? Konami kicked Kojima and without Kojima why would del Toro still be lurking about in the studio? Anyways, it's a bummer. Silent Hill really needed a fresh new start and P.T. was incredible. Well, Konami hasn't made an official statement yet but both Norman Reedus and del Toro gave went to their disappointment yesterday. [Update] The game is now officially canceled.

The Witcher 3 has gone gold

Finally, The Witcher 3 has gone gold. And we're excited. The anticipation is sky high, the work that's been done by CD Projekt Red has been... well crunchy, to put it as accurate as possible. But I believe they are just as excited as we are. Bring it on, Geralt!

Happy Easter

The Easter bunny is around the corner, so Happy Easter folks!

Btw, what did the Easter egg say to the boiling water?

A hectic summer is around the corner

Daryl just sent me a picture of how bad things actually are with our south-looking roof. The rain season is gone so it's no grave danger but I already know too well what I need to do already in May. And guess if it's gonna occupy me for at least a month...

- Sarah, why do we own a house!

Kojima-san to leave Konami

MGS mastermind Hideo Kojima along with some of his core staff won't be associated with Konami anymore, at least not as employees. What you say? If it's a rumor or plain gossip or even true is up to be revealed. But Kojima Productions is no more.

An open road wasteland

Whether we will see a new Fallout installment greeting the light of day any time soon or not is an open question. But Avalanche studios in Stockholm, Sweden have something in store for all of us with a sweet tooth for wasteland gameplay: Mad Max. Gameinformer has a nice coverage in their latest issue. There's also a video where the game director Frank Rooke speaks about how they have designed the intense gameplay of their upcoming multiplatform IP.

Feel at Home

One of my absolute RTS favorites and an overall PC game favorite of all time is the Homeworld franchise. 16 years after its original release Gearbox has put together an HD version of the first and third installment of the franchise (HW1 & HW2). The UI is overhauled and they have made a few other tweaks as well. The HW1 is now running on the HW2 engine and next to everything looks better, shinier and more at "home" than back in the day for a modern gamer with demands on graphics and physics. If you never picked this one up you really should give it a go. It's fun and has a lot of atmosphere, and it's totally 3D. You can manoeuvre from up, down and not just in an isometric kind of way. You'll find it on Steam.

Springtime

GGB and the Presidio is gorgeous this time of the year, green and lush. Sarah's friend Kathy took this pic the other day.

All Hearts' Day

Happy Valentine's Day!

In Sweden it's actually called "All Hearts' Day" which I find more appropriate and sweeter.

This is also the very day we sped up our wedding plans after Sarah's accident in Denver 3 years ago.

We're ready for a next-gen wasteland

For the first time ever Bethesda is going to hold a press conference at the E3 in Los Angeles in June. The first thought that surfaces in our heads is: Are they going to announce a new Fallout? It's certainly about time and we can at least hope for it...

The only place to be

A lot of famous people have said a lot of good things about our City. HERE are a few of them.

Run baby, run (?)

OK, so Dying Light is out. But because of the 24-hour window for the reviewers there aren't any real bulk of reviews out there as of yet. The metacritic is 79 for PC and 74 for PS4 as of January last. And for all gamers in Europe who like to get a physical copy there's still a few weeks wait. But I'll get back to you with my take on this one, which has a community taste range from poor to absolutely great. The PC version has had reports of poor optimization and the PS4 version has run smoothly, at least that is the impression one gets by tapping into the community forums.
