I'm leaving tomorrow at inexplicable hours for a vacation at the Mediterranean. They say there's a wireless connection at the rooms and an Internet corner, but I guess I know for sure when I get there. They also say that ISDN is the fastest thing there (which is pretty much the slowest available in Finland), so I'll most likely be playing Dawn Of War there much more than trying to survive slow connections.

I'll have my laptop there, but as it doesn't have Flash on it, no animation progress'll be made. Besides, I'm there to relax. My blood pressure usually rises for various reasons when I'm trying to do stuff with my laptop and with my Flash - I don't want to imagine what's it like when I combine them.

I mentioned Dawn Of War. It's a great game and besides, it's pretty much the only RTS that works on my crappy laptop on some rate. I also totally own the dumb AI players with any race, which is a hell of an ego boost for me. BUT, me liking Dawn Of War does not mean I like Warhammer figurines. I have a few friends who like to collect and play with their Warhammer stuff, and I hold no grudge against them. But I personally couldn't give less about Warhammer or generally any other figurine sets. A big waste of money, time and space, in order to have a few hours of fun while playing with them.

Reminds me of the times when I thought Legos were cool. Except that I could pretty much do anything I wanted with my Lego stuff - Warhammers are just more expensive, you must make them yourself from little tiny pieces (my patience and resistance for frustration ends here), paint them, and only then you can play with them. Nah, not for me. I don't really care if someone else wants to spend money and time on them, but I won't.

Dawn Of War doesn't require me to learn a rule book. Dawn Of War doesn't require math skills to calculate damage. Dawn Of War isn't boring or based on turns (=boring). Dawn Of War doesn't require me to create the 3D models or texture them before using them in my game. Conclusion: Dawn Of War is cool.

Anyways. If there isn't a wireless connection at the hotel (of which I'll make a reclamation, should the case be like that), this'll be my last news post for the following 2 weeks. If there is a wireless, the previous is most likely also true, as I'll be playing Dawn Of War instead. Adios!
