Killerspiele im Unterausschuss "Neue Medien" des Bundestages
Der Titel bei Golem ist recht schlecht gewählt:
Killerspiele: Aktueller Jugendschutz einfach und genial?
Der Artikel nur mäßig interessant, da nur die "üblichen" Argumente vorgeführt werden und das wird langsam wirklich alt.
Interessant ist nur der letzte Absatz:
Das Pferd ist zwar schon tausendmal begraben und getreten worden, aber das ist eigentlich auch alles was man dazu sagen brauch.
Nun bleibt zu hoffen - ohje und das in Verbindung mit Politik - das irgendjemand auch noch entsprechend handelt. Dann wird es erst interessant.

Christoph Waitz (FDP) fasste die Diskussion letztendlich folgendermaßen zusammen: Was wir derzeit machen, ist eher ein "Herumdoktern am Symptom, das Problem ist die soziale Verwahrlosung unserer Gesellschaft und dort müssen wir ansetzen." (ji)

Die Polizei, dein Freund und Helfer ...
Also da haben sie mich wohl erwischt.
Falls ihr euch erinnern könnt, hatte ich so den Verdacht doch ein klein Wenig schneller gewesen zu sein als die Polizei erlaubt und hab' mich dabei auch noch glatt erwischen lassen.
Ein etwas unscharftes Foto aber es scheint zu reichen. Damit bin ich etwas Knete los und auch den Führerschein für 4 Wochen aka 1 Monat. Da ich zur Zeit kein Auto haben und das Motorrad nach auf seinen neuen Sattelbezug wartet, werde ich das wohl noch Überleben.
Und da die Polizei nicht nur Räuber und Gendarm mit mir spielt war sie anscheinend diesmal sogar richtig fleissig.
In OL sind mir in zwei Jahren zwei Fahrräder geklaut worden. Beide bei mir "vor der Haustür" abgestellt, beide abgeschlossen, beide gute 550€ Wert. Eine gute Versicherung sei dank habe ich jedesmal den kompletten Wert ersetz bekommmen.
Nun fahr ich also das dritte Rad, ebenfalls wieder 550€ Wert knapp ein Jahr lang und wer pingt mich da heute über sein wiedergewonnenes ICQ Netz an, die Tante.
Die Polizei hat angerufen und anscheined hat sie mein Fahrrad wiedergefunden und ich soll zur Identifizierung nach Oldenburg kommen.
Tja, so eben geht das zwar nicht aber da hat die Polizei mal für ihr Geld gearbeitet. Interessant wird nun der Zustand des Fahrrades. Ich hab schon einmal ein gestohlenes Fahrrad von der Polizei wieder bekommen wo bis auf die Räder aber nix mehr dran war.
Witzig ... ;)

I did it ...

Some already got to know that I bought it, but I didn't opened it.
Now it happened, I opened up the box and started my WoW account ... .
So why did I do that, especially since, as tante righteously says, WoW threw all MMOPs centuries back almost into the stone age of online games.
Now it happened, I opened up the box and started my WoW account ... .
So why did I do that, especially since, as tante righteously says, WoW threw all MMOPs centuries back almost into the stone age of online games.

There is no social interaction, there is no real crafting and player driven economy, it's a class based systems, the skill and talent systems is very rudimentary, most part of the game is a pure level grind and if you reach the max level you grind for items. In fact, WoW is just Diablo I/II on speed and kokain.

So why did I do it. It was meeting Ogi in Lund and Dressari who caught me on MSN saying hello both finally tipping the scale. Ogi in getting me to buy the game in the first place and Dressari in not delaying it anymore.

Talking to Ogi we were just shortly passing through the time we all were playing Star Wars Galaxy and about how great we all felt home in our little guild called the "Rebels Red Circle" and to my surprise a lot of them were playing WoW now. We all loved to "play" the game or better, we all loved to play it together. The game sure had it's ups and downs but it was the open endness of the game style that allowed us to create a real digital community - far more real than second live can offer.
So I bought the game but didn't opened the box.
So I bought the game but didn't opened the box.

It was dressari on MSN saying the important words or better typing them that where the initial reason to buy the game. Despite I hated what Blizzard did to the development of MMORPGs and online games, despite the lack of spaceships, guns, social interaction and all that neat stuff that went down the drain in SWG due to try to be like WoW.
Dressari: I like to go where my friends are

There I was, preaching how bad it was what WoW did, how WoW is just an endless grind to keep people p(l)aying, how devestating it was to SWG and all the stuff, while they were playing together and having fun because they were playing together.
Yes, I'm still in Eve Online and I found a very good cooperation there was well. I meet some cool people and the game is from a player driven perspective everything you could wish for an MMORPG - apart from the part that it is not an RPG. It lacks the most important feature an RPG is offering: an Avatar.
Without it, it is, as tante uses to say just a browser type game with an 2GB resource eating graphic engine.
I still like it alot but with all it features it doesn't distract from the fact that I want to play with the old REB bunch together.

p.s.
With a slightly reduced frame rate, yes I'm that geeky, I'm now running Eve and WoW at the same time on the same machine, each on one of those nice 20" BenQ TFTs

My first few kills ...
http://killboard.eve-uni.com/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=820
I didn't laid the final blow but I was part of the team. It really took a while. When I logged in, there was a gang partoling the Jita - Korsiki - Urlen route and I joined them up in a small rifter. We had intel on some wartargets but most of them were avoiding a fight, when a second patrol formed up in Korsiki. We managed to lock several war targets in one systems camping both gates, when one of our scouts managed to lure them into a fight at a station.
"Jump into system and engage!" - and so we did :).
For the record:
This is a fight during the partol:
http://killboard.eve-uni.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=494
And this are the two kills we locked in Osmon
http://killboard.eve-uni.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=498
http://killboard.eve-uni.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=497
In the first encounter we lost a rifter and in the second we lost a battleship and a cruiser among some frigates - compared to the Commandship and the battlecruiser it was a serious win for us , since the two ships value is far more than what we lost.

E-Peen ... ;)
Size does matter at http://www.the-gay-bar.com .
Anybody remember this:
http://awhisperinmyghost.blogspot.com/2006/08/this-baby-is-mine-now.html ?
Well, I bought a second one :D.
I had planned to buy it a little bit later to save up some more cash, but with the opportunity to get rid of my old CRT when I visit my partent during eastern I ordered it last week and it arrived yesterday.
Very nice =).
Now if my 7600GT just would be able to push the horizontal spawn across the two screens ... . It seems that are a little bit to many pixels to push so I'm "just" using it as Dual Screenview lol. Still now I'm thinking of getting another 7600GT to see if they could push it in SLI mode (just have to find the same card again) ... .
The long term plan is to buy a third 22'' one (somewhen in 2008) and then buy a capable graphic card which can support all three and then do this:
http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/gxm/products/th2go/gaming/eve.php
Yeah ... my E-Peen is bigger than your E-Peen ;) and all that for a screensaver browser game like tante would say.

All your bases belong to us!
Or should I write : "All your DNS belong to the U.S. ?"
Department of Homeland Security will den Masterschlüssel fürs DNS
Das US-amerikanische Department of Homeland Security (DHS), das nach den Anschlägen vom 11. September 2001 als eine Art US-Superbehörde für innere Sicherheit gegründet wurde, will den Schlüssel für die Signierung der DNS-Rootzone allein in der Hand der US-Regierungen sehen.
Killerspiele
Heute in meiner Inbox:
Schach ist offensichtlich ein menschenverachtendes Killerspiel und gehört endlich verboten!
Ziel des Spiels ist es den gegnerischen König zu eliminieren. Eine Regierung soll also durch gezielte Kommandoüberfälle ausgeschaltet werden. Zu diesem Zweck werden oft Bauern eingesetzt, die dann geopfert werden.
Diese rituellen Menschenopfer lassen einen satanistischen Hintergrund bei Schachspielern vermuten. Außerdem haben Schachspieler offensichtlich keinerlei Respekt vor dem Leben unserer Landwirte und legen damit eine Menschenverachtung an den Tag, die ihres gleichen sucht.
Die Bauern werden oft als fanatische Selbstmordattentäter eingesetzt. Schachklubs sind daher als Brutstätten des internationalen Terrorismus anzusehen. Das paßt auch zum Profil eines Schachspielers: es sind oft Einzelgänger die sich von normalen Menschen abkapseln.
Besonders besorgniserregend ist, daß es angeblich sogar seit langem konspirative Schachserver im Internet gibt…
Auch Sportler werden nicht verschont. Das Meucheln von Läufern gehört zum Schach dazu, ebenso wie die Gewalt gegen Gebäude. Der rüde Umgang mit den Türmen im Schachspiel ist sicher die Ursache den zunehmenden Vandalismus in unserer Gesellschaft. Die schachspielende Jugend wird schon in frühester Kindheit darauf geprägt keinerlei Achtung vor dem Hab und Gut anderer Leute zu haben.
Jeder Respekt vor Recht und Ordnung ist Schachspielern verloren gegangen. Ganze Türme werden ohne vorherige Einholung einer behördlichen Baugenehmigung von Ihrem Besitzer einfach umgesetzt. So geht das nun wirklich nicht!
Schach ist ein extrem brutales Spiel. Figuren werden gleich reihenweise geschlagen, manchmal sogar einfach im Vorübergehen. Besonders verwerflich ist hierbei das Schlagen von Pferden, ein grober Verstoß gegen das Tierschutzgesetz. Wer kann nur unseren Mitgeschöpfen, den treuen Begleitern des Menschen, so etwas Böses antun? Was für Monster sind Schachspieler eigentlich?
Im Schach wird regelmäßig Gewalt gegen Frauen ausgeübt. Wie oft wird eine Dame geschlagen? Und schlimmer: wem es gelingt eine Dame zu schlagen, der wird in diesem perversesten aller Killerspiele oft auch noch mit dem Sieg belohnt! Pfui Teufel!
Sicherlich gäbe es keine Gewalt gegen Frauen mehr, wenn unsere Kinder nicht durch das Schachspiel vollkommen verrohen würden.
Schachspiel ist auch Training für Mord, denn nur um den Sieg davonzutragen (definitiv aus niedrigen Beweggründen), wird listig und heimtückisch arglosen Figuren eine tödliche Falle gestellt.
Was bleibt also noch zu sagen? Beim Schach handelt es sich um ein terroristisches Spiel mit satanistischen Wurzeln. Selbstmordattentate sowie Gewalt gegen Menschen, Tiere und Gebäude sind Programm. Heimtücke und Hinterlist führen zum Sieg. Die Bauordnung wir nicht einmal erwähnt und damit vollkommen mißachtet. Das Internet wird mißbraucht.
Schach ist also eindeutig ein Killerspiel und die Verbreitung von Schachbrettern sollte unter Strafe gestellt werden.
PS:
Vorsicht! Aus gut unterrichteten Quellen haben wir erfahren, daß es in Sachsen-Anhalt ein ganzes Schachdorf gibt. Lebt diese Kolonie von Schachspielern in sektenähnlichen Strukturen? Sind sie bewaffnet?
Es bleibt zu hoffen, daß dieser Ort unter besonderer staatlicher Aufsicht steht. Wer weiß was von da auf uns zukommt – steht uns vielleicht ein deutsches Waco ins Haus?

Weeee !
Toys toys toys ...
I bought 2GB Kingston RAM for my Laptop to "upgrade it" rather than buy a whole new Laptop. It does make a difference if you spend 200Euros or 2000Euros =) .
The Acer support pointed to me to an online shop, who is selling spare parts for my model and had also some exploded diagramms of it. Disassembling wasn't that easy as I expected, or it was but not that obvious as I missed two screws who were holding the keyboard and the main part together but apart from that everything went smoot. Well as smooth as Murphy allows it. I have one screw left over and I don't know where it belongs ... :D ... .

Vielleicht ist es doch nicht die Mafia, die "sitzt" ja "normalerweise" in Italien.
Vielleicht doch eher was Deutsches:

Moving moving moving ..
So what do I do with my weekends in Nuremberg.
Appereantly moving.
Wahyu, an indonesian colleagoue asked me if I could help him moving his kitchen.
He doesn't have a german driver license yet and naturally not a car either.
He already asked me a few weeks ago that he might need my help, since he was looking for a kitchen already a while, so he found one and had to pick it up this weekend.
It as one 2m long work desk and another one 1.5m long, it has three cupboards 2m high, one with an frige as well as a freeze, bot about 1.20 high. It also has a dishwasher and naturall the oven and the electric plates.
So there I went saturday evening he was alraedy disasemblying part of the kitchen and picked him up together with Vito (another indonesian guy currently living at his place till end march) and again on sunday morning at 10am to pich the both of them up to grab the rest.
Grab is rather easy said, especially since Wahyu lives on the third floor. Luckily he called two other friends helping out but in the end was carrying 12 times stuff up - heavy stuff - heavy kitchen stuff not mine. Well it was fun and I'll get my revenge on thursday. I need something from ikea and I'm living on the third floor as well ;).
Anyway I'm pretty dead or exhausted, I'll gonna spend some time with my "screensaver" and see how bad the TV programm is on sunday ... .

...I want to ride my bicycle ....
And so I did. First day with the bicycle, didn't found the route I had in mind so I just took the one I usually drive with the car, which is due to the type of the streets and the lack of a seperate bicycle part, a rather bad decisions but we'll improve during the next few days if the weather keeps up like this.
22min. traveling time only, compared to the 20 min. I needed yesterday by car not that bad.
