La Mob: el proyecto

•31 enero, 2012 • 1 comentario

Recientemente, contraté a una diseñadora profesional (debido a que mis amigos con la capacidad de hacerlo gratis me dejaron vendido) para que me fabricara las plantillas de las “cartas de KDS” Esto es para un juego de burla conocido como “La Mob: El encuentro” con chistes privados y de cultura general guatemalteca. Mi intención inicial era hacerlas en electronico y así distribuirlas. Ahora que veo la capacidad (aunque muy en el horizonte) de imprimirlas, lo haré.

Debo decir que esta broma no me sale muy barata (si comparamos mi actual salario) pero es un sacrificio que estoy dispuesto a hacer. Los motivos que me impulsaron son varios.

  1. Es uno de miles de proyectos olvidados que realmente quiero terminar.
  2. En lo que mi concierne, no deseo realizar (ni contribuir economicamente) con ninguna actividad de KDS este año.
  3. Son mis amigos y quiero hacer algo para ellos (y para mi)
  4. Quiero crear algo, aunque sea pequeño y medio copiado, pero quiero poder ver y decir: yo hice esto.

La diseñadora que contraté (con salario, por escrito y demás) tendrá los bocetos la otra semana y su fecha limite será el 4 de marzo. Una vez tenga eso, dependerá de mi y mis amigos el completar las mecanicas (y fotos) de cada carta para obtener una experiencia balanceada y divertida. Espero poder publicar los avances de este proyecto, así como fotos, resultado de las pruebas… en fin, todo lo que la creación de un juego conlleva.

En otras noticias, este viernes (y los viernes subsecuentes) seré parte de un alpha testing de videojuegos. ¿Suena como un sueño verdad? Lo sé. No puedo compartir mi experiencia respecto al juego con el publico, pero si les puedo hacer saber que mejor si no esperan mi llamada, tweet, sms o lo que sea los viernes en la noche.

 

Este es el final del viaje.

Re-blogging

Well, I gotta change my mind again. Why? I recently accesed my Wizards of the Coast Community profile and BAM! I can blog there. About what? D&D, MTG (not that I play too much) and any other WotC related topics. What to do here then? Well, this will be my “casual” blog. (my blogger account has the serious topics) and I’ll post here in… whatever language I see fit. About what? Most likely, League of Legends.

Keep yourself tuned for the new tag and my weekly vent of recent events.

Good day.

 

P.D.: I said “Good day” (cookie if you get the reference)

D&D Blogging

•21 enero, 2012 • Dejar un comentario

I’ve done some thinking lately (Yeah, I know) and perhaps I should blog about my D&D activity.

I don’t write about conventions because… I just don’t feel like it. Everything else is done through my Twitter and Facebook accounts, so blogging has become to me a Forgotten Realm (pun intended). So, what do you say? Wanna read my D&D activities? Now… what language should I use? I think it will depend on my mood. If you don’t like it alt+F4.

Tomorrow I’m continuing my Darksun campaing. I just have to add some more encounters (as soon as the Adventure Tools loads) and I’ll be done for today.

In another news, I have been given the opportunity to be a regular DM for D&D encounters. The Lost Crown of Neverwinter was a good module. I want to play the new one, however. Setting? The Feywild. Not bad, huh? Why would I give up on this unique chance? German and Japanese. Meh, I can always play on Sundays.

That’s all for now. I want to keep this short. Expect some more on this reshaped blog.

To be honest, this convention was something else.

There were the same stores, food and tournaments as always. But there was also a giant DDR screen/stand, a moon bounce and of course the traditional Anime Kudasai stand. For my part I’m happy for two reasons: 1) The KDS stand was a success. 2) My girlfriend’s team achieved 2nd place on the groupal cosplay contest. She looked so great >.<viral, anti-spiral, Kamina, Yoko, Simon, NyaShe is the one on the right: Nya. To be honest, not my favorite character, but that is quite irrelevant.

As the convention goes, I don’t have too many pictures. Why? Maybe because I was on the KDS stand for most of the day. However, here are some photos I took before the convention.

The KDS stand

And some during my scarce free time.

This year’s convention was actually pretty cool and I have to admit that, despite the traditional audio inconveniencies, everything went pretty smooth. The cosplay level keeps on rising and more and more Otakus assist.

This convention receives 4 geeks out of 5

Apology

•2 abril, 2011 • Dejar un comentario

I think I own the women all over the world an apology. I have treat you all very, very badly. Here is the reason why:

I have been overestimating you.

According to my aunt and uncle (as well as my sister, cousins and mother) I have a missconception about women behavior. Even though my father has tried to taught me about how women are fragile creatures one must treat with respect, it was too late. I was already way too contaminated by the popular media and couldn’t set facts from fiction. I always thought women were capable of independent thinking. I made that mistake by watching my mother as a teacher since I was a young boy. Obviously I was wrong. I thought women were strong and capable, since my mother was able to travel for about an hour and half on a crowded bus, while pregnant (and working) every day. Obviously, I was wrong. I thought they were capable of driving since there were so many women behind the wheel, but again, I was wrong. Women can’t be independent. Women are inept, clueless, bad drivers and thus unable to be left to their own. A man has to step up and be their savior, their paladin, their flagbearer, their compass, their shield, their sustenance, their shelter. My mother had no other choice and struggled beyond what any other women had to. My cousin Marisol corrected me about another fact: feminism.

Feminism was a way for women to use pants and get the right to vote. That also gave them the right to gain as much money as men, despite their mental and physical handicaps. It was the right thing to do since they are apparently so useless and defenseless. But they never fought for “Equality” thats just what dykes wants you to believe. They fought to get those rights, but they also wanted to keep the right to always get a seat on a bus, because their legs are so weak they cannot stand still like men. So a man with heavy lagguage ALWAYS has to give his seat to a woman because thats what “feminism” is all about. You also have to open doors for her. You see, for a man opening a door is a simple task. But according to my cousin, is something a women is to inept to do without an extreme effort. I should’ve known better. Again, I apologize.

Women just need more rights than men do, because of their weak and defenseless condition. Just walking in the street is a completely different thing for women. I never realized that until today. Rapers, assassins, muggers and even demons materialize out of thin air when you are a woman. The condition nowadays is terrible! If you are a women, all the evils of the world chase you every day unless you are with a man to protect you. Everyday you see all those people killed on the streets! Sure, they are mostly men, but thats probably because they are valiant men that died saving a woman’s life. Some women however aren’t that lucky and a couple of them do end up dead or raped. But aren’t men the ones who raped them? That kinda confuses me, since men are the ones suppoused to protect them. I guess I will look into it later. For now, I’m apologizing for my missconception on women’s weaknesses and flaws I ignored. How I overstimated them and thus failed so many times in my role as brother, son, boyfriend and if it continued that way, as a father.

Starting now I’ll skip classes just to protect my sister while she waits in line. Just like my mother wanted. Sure, other girls are there, but just because other poor women doesn’t have a father or a brother to protect them doesn’t mean my sister has to go through that too! I’ll also miss work so my sister can have a safe return home. Again, I know some women have to risk their lives everyday by riding those dangerous buses since they are even younger than my sister, but that’s no excuse for me to leave my sister unattended. Everyone know my sister, despite how capable she has always seemed to me, she is just not capable of reading a bus sign, ask for directions or ask me for money to get home. I must carry her all the way. That is my duty as her older brother.

Finally, my girlfriend also got me fooled, you know? I owe her an even greater apology. You see, she is a Graphic Design graduate. She owns a car and is working. All that made me think she was independant, capable and strong. But no! I was wrong yet again! She is still a women, and as such, my uncle made me realize I was failing as a man to think that way. That’s why I refused the offer of letting me get a ride on my way home from her. Letting a woman take me to my house? What kind of man would I be? I just asked her to drop me on her way home and I walked all the way to my house. I know its way after dark, and I was alone in a solitary road were many reports of dead people has reached my mother’s ears, but I’m a man, and as such I know now that I’m invincible, inmortal and totally capable of doing things no woman like my sister can do, like going home. Now that I think about it, I still made a mistake. I should’ve ride with her all the way to her house to ensure her safe return. Just imagine a solitary woman going back home at this time of night! I’m perfectly capable of coming back home all alone since I’m a man, but she? I made another mistake and I already apologize to her on the phone about that, so that part at least is settled.

I just hoped my cousin, aunt, sister and mother might forgive me for my rash behavior against women. I mistreated them.

Well well… I what do I have to say for myself? Well, still no pics from Lucky 13 and Navi Fest. Please, don’t get discouraged by this: But I didn’t enjoy them. I just didn’t. Ok, what about the Retrovision? Oh well… considering that I spend those 2 days working, I think I don’t really have much to say about it either (except it was awesome) but not as Good as we intended (which still upsets us) I just think that we can do it better (and we can) So we will. But we need to do a lot of things. Like… organize ourselves. Sorry that I haven’t posted anything lately, I’ll look into it.

On another topic, I just ordered “Wise Man’s Fear” on Amazon. Its gonna be ~$35 plus whatever they want to charge me in customs, but its ok, I just want to read it and HAVE IT! I have the electronic copy right here but… I have too much respect for Patrick Rothfuss to start reading it that way. Besides, My readings usually take place during the rides to College, Work and back Home. Other than that, I don’t read much (unless its work/school related)

Marina (my best friend) is going on an ego trip this Monday. Where? To her homeland: Cuba. Best of luck, may she find herself.

I still got a lot of English worksheets to grade, so I’m gonna finish that now. Thx for reading this ^^

Fusion Fest

•15 diciembre, 2010 • Dejar un comentario

Marina y TotoroThe Fusion Fest took place during this year’s October. I’m really sorry to write about the convention until now… but I’ve tended to other matters. For the ones who don’t know about it, this convention was a cooperation of “Athena’s Kingdom” and “Anime Force Guatemala” (AFGT) anime groups. Sadly, I was unable to take much pictures. Lets say… I was kinda distracted.   At any rate, its time for my review…. the problem is that I don’t actually remember much about it (besides the cosplays) Which are getting better everytime. (I plan to do a good cosplay next year). I’ll let you all see the pics and judge for yourselves.

One of the first things that catched my attention when coming to the convention was the cosplays (as always) Which in this contention were (I must say) pretty good.  This was one of the first ones that catched my attention. How couldn’t? It was a One Piece cosplay.

Mr. 0 Mr 3 and Buggy

As a One Piece Fan, I couldn't help to jump out of exitement

Another thing that I found pretty interesting was the fact that the “Maid” cafe included Neko-dressing watresses.


I know they aren’t exactly Akihabara’s maids, but hey! No one was complaining. I have other pics (about cosplays) and little about the event in itself (as always) So I guess I’m gonna skip over the part were I review the events and just show you the cosplays. You can draw your own conclusions from that point.

Haruhi and Yuki

I regret that I didn't notice these two until later

Yuna

Mari, Asuka, Kaji, Rei

Quite possibly, my favorite cosplay team in this convention

Anta Baka?

Before I forget, I must say that “Seven Kei” performed live at the Fusion Fest (and its also doing it on this year’s NaviFest) For the ones who doesn’t know what “Seven Kei” is, let me tell you that is a Local band that performs anime song covers. You can watch the whole concert by following this Finely Crafted Link

You should've been there
