2015

Greetings.

About 7 months of silence? What have I been up to?

2014 in brief:

Rediscovering Dungeons and dragons, Magic the gathering and two AWESOME local game shops that are right here in Durban

The Unseen Shoppe – Westville

The Bat Cave Facebook page – Hillcrest

Chatsworth – ? (I’m working on it)

Attended my second year of the First Lego League which is always an awesome experience. Congratulations go to Tyburn Primary which is located right here in Chatsworth.

Invested in a Dev board called the Hummingboard. Which is similar to the raspberry pi but packs a bit more punch in regard to system specs. More on this tech in later posts.

Games I played in 2014: Diablo 3 RoS, Injustice and Marvel vs Capcom 3. (Yup I have not played as much as I would have liked too)

I’m always on the lookout for interesting developments in the gaming community and I have just discovered something that has been around for a long time. Let’s play videos or Long plays. Basically gamers recording their game play. Some may commentary, some are speed runs but all are really fun to watch. I’m currently going through all the classics I played many years ago.

Mission for 2015: The same as always. To share my knowledge and passion on all things technology. To provide educational opportunities to the youth of my community.

Goals: get better at programming.
Make my first game.
Turn my outbuilding into an e-learning lab and provide free access to underprivileged learners.

All the best for 2015!

Wanna play Dungeons and Dragons???

Greetings. Welcome back to school. Here is a free resource for everything you need to get started in the amazing experience of role playing games. Pathfinder is based on DnD and is totally free!!!

http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/resources

The first document you need to get is the core rule book, http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/CoreRulebookErrata_5.0.zip

Read through it, get to grips with the basic rules and start creating your character. You can download die simulation apps from itunes or the play store.

I will be starting a pathfinder club in Chatsworth provided that I have players.

Any questions please feel free to contact me.

Holidaze almost over

Greetings all. Whats new and how is everybody doing? Work has been relentless with my onsite duties but I have also been busy with continuing my real work, learning through play.

Lego has been going well, on a break due to school holidays but soon the First Lego League will start and our group has got to do some serious play!

Been dabbling with Unity 3D and plan to have a game demo done in a few months time.

I have also discovered Dungeons and Dragons and its epic!!!!

Here are some local resources to have a look at
