First hour with Pokemon Omega Ruby

Yesterday arrived my Pokemon Omega Ruby Steelbook Edition. And right after my stream ended, I started playing and playing and playing Pokemon Omega Ruby the whole evening. Pokemon was able to catch me again. It's not that different from the older Pokemon games, except the graphics. Like in Pokemon X/Y the new Pokemon has fancy 3D graphics, which make me want to explore the Hoenn region even more. 

My first hour with Pokemon Omega Ruby



Everything starts with a strange conversation with Prof. Birch, I don't know I really think the Pokemon professors need some glasses. Not seeing if you are a boy or a girl. This time you can't customize your character. I don't miss the feature but would like to have it anyway, I just really like customizing my own character. Soon after telling Prof. Birch our name we arrive at our new home, where our mother is already waiting for us. 


After setting the clock in hour room, mother is sending us to Prof. Birch while looking for him we go to the neighbours house where we meet his son. After meeting him we can go north, where we meet Prof. Birch, who is in trouble. He is beeing attacked by a Pokemon. His bag with the Pokeballs is too far away, so it is our turn to choose a Pokemon and help Prof. Birch. 


After the fight we meet Prof. Birch and his son in the Pokemon Lab, where we get a Pokedex and the chosen Pokemon. We make our way north. Leveling our Pokemon and arriving at the first bigger town, Oldale Town, where we get some Potions and a bit later some Pokeballs. Continuing our way we learn how to sneak to Pokemon, who are hiding in the high grass and how to use our PokeNav. 


On the way to the second town, we have to battle two trainers. I have to say, that the fight animations look really good, in my opinion even a little bit better than in Pokemon X/Y. Arriving in the second town, Petalburg City, we meet our father who is the gym leader. After a little talk we have to help a guy named Wally getting his first Pokemon. A tutorial on how to catch Pokemon. We don't have much to do in the town, so we can just continue our way. In the Petalburg Woods we already get the Exp.Share, which is pretty handy and really reduces the Pokemon level grinding. 

That was already my first hour of Pokemon, I didn't came that far, due to heavy early leveling of my Pokemon. 

Things I already really like about the new Pokemon game:
- Graphics - pretty and fancy, make me want to explore the world even more -
- PokeNav - really handy map with hidden Pokemon Radar -
- Sneaking - Sneaking through high grass, reduces to chance of getting attacked -
- Fights - cool fighting animations -
- Exp.Share - very handy -

Things I don't like about the new Pokemon game:
- Nothing 

Things I'm looking forward to:
- Gyms - In Pokemon X/Y the gyms were so well designed with little puzzles, can't wait to explore the gyms in Pokemon Omega Ruby
- Flying - Beeing able to manually control where to fly and not just only teleport somewhere when using "fly"
- Secret Base - Getting my own secret base, how couldn't I look forward to it.

I will get back to play Pokemon now and recommend this Pokemon game for every Pokemon fan.

Adventure Time!

Currently I started being addicted to Adventure Time. With a special love for the Lumpy Space Princess. She is just ultra funny. I love this cartoon's houmor and hardly can stop watching it, once I started. Unfortunatly there is only the first season available on Netflix Germany. But well, watched it like 2 times already.

So when I was browsing for some Adventure Time stuff, I came across a really cool Lumpy Space Princess T-Shirt, which hasn't arrived yet, and super lovely and cool Pop!Funko Figures. 



I'm in love with these Pop!Funko Adventure Time figures and I'm pretty sure, that sooner or later my room will be full of Pop!Funko figures. The figures are cute (I have a small addiction for cute stuff) and they have quiet every hero you can imagine. It's just cool having a cute Batman figure or IronMan. My Pop! wishlist is pretty long and I guess I won't have enough room in my flat sooner or later for all them. Now I'm already waiting for the next figures to arrive.

MMOs I'm looking forward to

Today I was checking some upcoming MMOs and I found four to look forward to.

Skyforge



Skyforge looks really interesting. "Play as God", In Skyforge you have something like a map where you can choose what you want to do like explore the open world, PvP, dungeons, raids. Beginners can choose between three classes, after playing for a while intermediate and advanced classes will be available with 5 classes in each. It has an action combat system. PvP seems to happen in Arenas and you can choose between different game modes like free for all or capture the flag for example. Really looking forward to play this game and I hope to get accepted to the closed Beta.

Black Desert Online

Back Desert Online will be released in Korea and Russia soon and is (I think) one of the most awaited MMOs 2015 in NA and Europe. The graphics are breathtaking, specially looking at the characters. Dynamic worldwide weather system, with large events such as typhoons and, what impresses me even more, travelling to a different climate zone or seasonal weather changes require to adjust your equipment and put on something warmer/colder etc. For sure there is also day/night cycle. It's a sandbox MMO, so there will be housing, fishing and you're able to play and learn an instrument. It's an open woŕld PvP game like Archeage. What makes the game even better is the action combat system. I love action combat. Best thing is, they are already working on an english client for a couple of month now. Going to watch out for the Beta registration.



Battlecry

 

"A new team action game, where brutality and beauty collide". The game is by Bethesda and the trailer looks really nice. There isn#t that much to say about it. I just think it looks interesting and I like the steampunk touch it has. It won't be a game that I could play like 24h hours a day but for a quick pvp match from time to time it looks nice. Beta will start 2015.

EverQuest Next

To be honest I haven't played Everquest before and I guess I never will. But I'm really interested in testing EverQuest Next. There are a lot of videos out on the official YouTube Channel and so far I think it could be fun. We will see and maybe I'll be lucky and can play the beta.

Looking forward to Pokemon Omega Ruby


The release of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is just around the corner and I'm getting somehow excited about it. I pre-ordered the steelbook edition of Omega Ruby and can't wait for the postman ringing on my door next Friday.

One of the features I'm really excited about is the flying feature, you will be able to fly over the Hoenn region with your Pokemon and not only use "Fly" and get teleported somewhere. That is one thing I was missing in Pokemon X/Y. You will also have a secret base where you can set up decorations and so on. I love housing features in games. I guess, I will spend hours decorating my secret base. Unfortunately you can't customize your trainers appearance like in Pokemon X/Y but that's fine.

And for sure I'm excited about exploring the Hoenn region again after 11 years.

Stream Update!

Lately I wasn't able to stream that regulary, because I have lost somebody, who I really loved. But now I want things to get back to normal again. And want to concentrate more on streaming and blogging. It is still amazing and unbelievable, that people really like to watch me play.

Halloween stream was fun, dindn't reached 200 Followers back then but chatting with my viewers was really nice and my best stream so far. I tried playing Outlast but well... Have a look



I couldn't continue playing Outlast. And switched back to Archeage. And I was really happy with the decision. 
My path to level 50 has ended I'm now almost a fully grown Spellsinger on EU Kyprosa. I had to switch to an European server after Archeage's latest patch, because there was a delay of three to four seconds when pressing a skill on NA Lucius. It wasn't playable any more and no fun either. But now I'm happy on Kyprosa. 
My 300 Follower giveaway is on. 200 Follower Giveaway was "Borderlands The Pre-Sequel", got like 30 followers the one night. As soon as I reach 300 Followers on Twitch I'm giving away "Assassins Creed Unity".
