CrazyKinux's Musing, a redesign

Those familiar with my blog may notice that I've made some drastic changes to the template I use. Gone is the generic blue header picture, replaced by a screenshot I took a few month back.

I also made some changes to the overall width to be able to post bigger thumbnails (well considering the size of these "thumbnail", you can't really call them that anymore), and to go for a more minimalist approach.

What do you think? Like it? Hate? No difference? I would appreciate your comments, positive or negative.

Compare this post (opens in a new page) to this one (also opens in a new page) to appreciate the difference of the screenshot size.

Enough bragging about my blog, instead, enjoy the majestic screenshot!

EVE Online: Theodicy (Chapter 7)

And here's the last chapter in the Theodicy novella. Now I can finally print it all, bind it, then read it in a comfy sofa, sipping a warm cup of coffee.

SEED: 10 new Beta screenshots

As promised, though a bit later then I would have liked, here are 3 of 10 new screenshots taken from the Garden inside the Tower. I did fairly a lot of exploration and went through every centimeter of the lush tropical garden.

This time there were sounds of various machinery as I walked near them. Made for a more interactive experience as you can imagine. It was getting pretty lonely walking alone in this great big complex with no one around (the Beta was limited to 75 simultaneous players) to interact with.

Here we go! This is the entrance to the Garden. Notice the mist effect in the far back of the Garden.

An here you can see the orange cone that marks the spot where I clicked to indicate a move command. In this shot we're now in the Garden, and you can see several devices to the left and right of my character.

I took this shot to show a close-up view of the characters and NPCs. The cell shading effects are really well done and gives this MMORPG a whole different feel to it.

If you want to see the rest of the screenshots, head over to my flickr SEED set.

By the way, if you have any questions, or would like to see a shot of something specific that I haven't yet taken, please let me know in the comments!
