I think most people know that I like to play video games and have done so for a very long time. So during our vacation in Greece, which I’ll talk about soon, I was browsing a bit on Twitter when a message caught my eye. Someone wrote that the game “Lemmings” had its 30th year…

King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride
One of the first computer games I ever played was “King’s Quest: The Princeless Bride”, also called King’s Quest VII.I got the disc from “Aunt Marion”, who got it again from Rob (if I’m correct). The game was developed in 1994 (and that was before I was born) and was considered a “high resolution” game…
Far Cry 5
End of March the game “Far Cry 5” was released, a game that I was really looking forward to. But sadly at that time I was without computer (remember that my old computer died completely?). But when my new computer was in and after basic configuration was done, I bought that game through Steam. The…
And then the computer died…
A few days ago I was working at my computer at home when it suddenly with a strange sound died. Restarting didn’t help as it got stuck somewhere in the booting process. At that time, it was late in the evening, I couldn’t not find out quickly what was wrong. The next day I discovered…
The danger of fake news
Lately there is a lot going around about fake news. The Internet is an incredible resource for news and information, but unfortunately not everything online is trustworthy. Fake news is any article or video containing untrue information disguised as a credible news item. Fake news is dangerous as it may influence the opinion of people…
Offline
As some may have noticed, my weblog has been for the last two days offline. Well, maybe offline is not completely correct. The site was running, but not in a proper way. Visitors only saw blanc pages. So what happened? For a certain update I wanted (and needed) to do on the weblog a newer…
Defiance, the computer game
Lately Rob and I have been looking again at an online game that is already around some time, the game named “Defiance”. Yes, this game is based on the TV series with the same name. We played this game when it was just released. The game was released in 2013 and is available for PC,…
A look at Second Life
Second Life is an online virtual world where people can meet each other and create their own content. It has already been around since 2003. I never had a look at it. This most likely because of the comments that I heard from Rob about it. On one side he was amazed about the possibilities…
Some people noticed that I haven’t posted anything for some time on Facebook. And that is correct, I basically stopped using Facebook. Main reason for this that Facebook becomes more and more a privacy thread. If not by Facebook self, then it is by people with bad intentions. For the second time now in the…
Dishonored 2
Last week, on 11 November, a the new game “Dishonored 2” was release, a sequel on the game “Dishonored”, released in 2012. On the moment I heard that this sequel would be made, I already knew that I wanted the game. I really loved “Dishonored” (lets call that game “Dishonored 1”, to keep things more…
