The ZeroShadow.com design I’ve been working on is now fully complete. Go check it out! Now that it’s done, I’ll be getting back to posting more often here on tip and tricks I’ve picked up, and just general stuff that might be of interest to you. 
So the blog is back to normal. Incase you didn’t see it, I was testing a theme for the zeroshadow.com blog. Click the link to check it out! I have one more section to do for the zs pages, which is the top sites voting area. Once that’s done it’ll be complete!
The theme the blog is currently running is a work in progress, so certain links aren’t working!
Once it’s done, I’ll switch it back to the one I was using.
Not sure if I’ve mentioned this site before but it’s a fantastic resources for ideas and tutorials for anything photoshop based. I use it all the time to learn new techniques and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of trying out graphic design.
As some of you might know, I’m a big fan of the Fallout series of games. If you haven’t played any of them, then get to it! We all knew that there was another Fallout game coming after the success of Fallout 3.
Fallout: New Vegas
A recent article in USA Today gave some ideas as to what will be happening:
I for one can’t wait until this holiday season when it’s released. I might pee in my pants with excitement. 
Here’s the trailer that’s mentioned in the article:
I’ve come to realize that I have too much time on my hands. I tend to watch a lot of films. Rather than going to the cinema to watch the new releases, I wait until it’s out on dvd to watch it. Call me cheap but it works. We have 3 redbox machines in our area and can get the most recent dvd releases easily. Maybe I should start doing reviews of what I watch.
Would anyone be interested? I could rate them in cookies.
Over the next few days this blog will most likely look a mess. I’m currently building the wordpress theme for ZeroShadow.com and will be using this blog as a tester, so if it looks a mess it’s because I’m playing around.
I went and got Bioshock 2 yesterday, didn’t have a chance to play until 11pm but stayed up until 4am. Without giving too much away, he’s a quick review of your first steps in Rapture.
You wake up as a Big Daddy 10 years after the first Bioshock was set. With not much idea of what you are doing there, you search around for a way to escape. Of course the story starts early but I don’t want to mention any of that. That would give away half the fun!
Changes in the game:
You now have a giant drill for a hand, which can be charged to attack as long as you have fuel for it.
Hacking can now be done remotely with little darts. Hacking is also in real time and doesn’t work in the same way the first Bioshock game did. Basically, if you fail and set off an alarm, then you must try to rectify it before the bots come to get you.
You can now adopt Little Sisters who sit on your shoulder and can direct you towards dead bodies with adam to be collected. You must then defend them for a set amount of time while the splicers try to kill her.
The weapons now have a 3rd upgrade, which varies depending on the weapon of choice. As an example, the rivet gun (similar in power to a hand gun) has the usual ammo capacity and damage upgrade, but the 3rd allows you to fire bullets that have a chance to set your enemies on fire. The upgrades get more elaborate for the next weapons.
I’ve only played 1 mission in the multiplayer but the menu is set out as an actual level. It’s your apartment that you wander around in, selected what you want to wear and use as weapons. Good stuff.
So yes, Bioshock 2 is a must for any fan of the series. It all looks familiar, but isn’t that what we liked about the first one? Also, one of the highlights so far has been the Journey To The Surface… You’ll know what I mean when you get there. Make sure you watch it all.
Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a while. I’ve been busy and sick. Not exactly a great mix of things together but oh well! I’ve been working on the new design for Zeroshadow.com. Almost done, just have a few more things to do and then it’ll be ready.
In the mean time! Here’s a nice trailer for you. The game is out tomorrow and I for one am looking forward to it.

I recently spotted a blog on facebook that a friend of mine runs. He displays his artwork and short stories there, and his work is simply amazing. Go and give him some love for me!
