Thanks to FilePlanet I have been playing the Open Beta for Champions Online this past week. Now right off the bat I have to state that my review of this game comes from never playing City Of Heroes or Villains or any other Hero game ever. So any downside, items missing you think of that were in those games, well sorry. And this will be a quick review since it's only a beta.

First off, I have played many beta's for games and this turned out the be the most pain in the butt to get going. I know most of you probably heard of the issues. Basically FilePlanet (and other places) gave out a bad install file, which was 2GB, it was suppose to pre-load. Well once you installed it, you needed to do a 3.2GB Update, but it wouldn't finish, and kept freezing. Then people finally found ways around it, so then the update was only 900MB, but it would freeze still, but you would just have to close and restart. Very slow process. Worst I have ever seen. But of course this has nothing really...

I have always found it funny how the world works. When you see something on TV on one show, you tend to notice similar things on other shows. The same thing happens with things you do. My example is the last few months it has been dead for me in terms of graphic design. Earlier this week I got my first project in awhile, and the rest of the week I have been working on all kinds of things, more and more projects have been popping up and I am almost overwhelmed. Feels quite good though. Along with more and more projects next week I will be starting my workout routine at Good Life Center, they randomly called me for a free consolation. Some good luck there.

Here is an example of some work that I have been doing. This one is my favorite because its more my style. Was made for a new band in the UK.



I have also been playing a lot of MMO Beta's the past couple weeks....

So one of the things I have noticed while making many of the changes to OSNN over the last few weeks if the quality of the adverts.

Giving the users the option to subscribe and hide all adverts is far too tempting to not include myself so I honestly won't see them all that often. However, as I have been working on the site I have not only had them enabled for my various test accounts but been fairly disgusted at how bad they are.

Every other advert seems to be about how some house wife has discovered the ultimate way to make her teeth whiter and while I briefly found this fairly interesting, my attention was not held.

Now that the various ad blocks have near enough been finalized I am going to try and work towards making cooler and more relevant adverts.

The current OSNN adverts:

100 Blog posts. Ain't that something.

Nothing really new to talk about though. Next week is my appointment at the doctors. I have been quite busy this week with graphic design and repairing computers, finally! And I have been playing more games as well, as well as testing out Aion & Champions Online. So I might post another entry to talk about those.

YAY to 100!
