… where the geeks & nerd meet.

The World Cyber Games finals where hosted this year in Cologne, which is a 2 hour ride form my hometown, so I could not let pass the opportunity to see that once in my life. What shall I say … it is as you imagine, thousands of geeks watching the ubergeeks.

These pro gamers, build a base in WC3, grind their heroes, attack, destroy, build creatures faster, then I can double-click the icon to start the game. The counter-strike games are that fast, that I don’t even realize what could have been happening. (Guy runs around a corner, no one there, guy dead, screen black in less than a second?) And don’t get me started on the guitar hero players.

The sponsors village was not a big thing. Try out possibilities were at the X-Box booth, free giveaways were rare food was expensive. All in all a fun experience, but nothing you have to see every year.

Cologne on the other hand was great as always, even if they were already preparing the beginning of their stupid carnival.

THANK YOU so much!

After spending half my weekend in a marvelous Audi Q7 (I love that car!) on my way to the Fury farewell show I spend half my evening on the way to a Coldplay show yesterday. Thanks to the mother of all traffic jams followed by the mother of all parking lot searches I missed the support act (does anyone know who played?) and was even close to missing the show. (Evil german roads!)

What a show! They had every show effect available on the market! ALL of them!

Moving curtains to start smooth, lasers, awesome video spheres, a 4-Barco Cluster, moving grids and last but not least the most impressive confetti lunch (actually it was more of a continuous never ending rain) that I’ve ever seen. But without all the bells and whistles, there was not much Coldplay left. Sound was close to awful and a 90 minute show might be enough but I felt like something was missing.

Positive thing is that I didn’t like the new album before the show and now can’t stop listening to it. Well done guys.

Maybe they are pushing the show part to much, maybe I’m too much in love with club gigs, maybe I was ina bad mood because of the freaking traffic jam. Doesn’t matter, if you have the chance to see them, buy a ticket! :)

There are some cool things on the net out there, but this is one of the funnies I’ve seen in a long time. I was rothflmao when I saw the first act of this hilarious musical comedy kinda film. Neil Patrick Harris (Yes, the guy from “How I met your mother”) is the super-villain Dr. Horrible on his not so successful quest to conquer the world. Act two will be available July 17th and the last part on July 19th. If you want more there will be a DVD Edition too.

Watch it yourself before the servers crash ;-)

If you see this plate of lovely Strawberries, or perhaps a nice shot of tasty jelly beans, I’d be glad if you’d click the little green arrow on the top-right besides the picture itself ;)

I visited the brand new growing part of Esch/Alzette today and took some pictures played with my camera. You might want to have a look on flickr.

KISS

 

I saw the awesome Kiss show yesterday at the rockhal.

What shall I say? I wanted the best, I got the best! The hottest band in the world…

 

 

Now I can die without regrets ;)

Was passiert wenn man ein Fertiggericht öffnet?

Man wird oft bitterböse überrascht.

Ein Kunstprojekt hat sich jetzt mit dem Vergleich der Packungsabbildung und dem Produkt auseinander gesetzt, und entstanden ist eine bemerkenswerte Sammlung an Fotos.

 

Wichtig ist, dass das Projekt versucht eine Neutralität zu waren, die Fotos unkommentiert lässt, und auch positive Bilder nicht versteckt. Absolut sehenswert!
