Stone Trolls and Orcs

I love playing... or should I say... I loved playing

I remember that when I was young, I was crazy for video games. My spoiled friends all got a Super Nintendo, my grandma was spoiling me with gameboys, but it was not the same thing. You could share a super nintendo and it was colorful. the gameboy was nice (Metroid on Gameboy was awesome), but I always got the envy of not having a stupid super nintendo.

With the advent of computers, video gaming on them, and suddenly realizing that its graphics were better than the N64, I was finally dreaming the dream: I remember playing Doom, Heretic, and a game about some space ships fighting each other (don't remember the name), but everything was in glorious 3-D (and in shinny colors)

Everything was pixelated, but it was fantastic...

Of course, my parents didn't like me and my brothers spending tons of time playing games, we often would indulge in playing these late at night. A complicated issue, because the computer was not in our room. You needed to be very silent, and my dad did have a keen ear. Every time he got up to make a night patrol (why?) you needed to be very silent, turn off the computer monitor, and even hide the little lights from the computer, if you could fool this old fox of my dad, you would be playing some more time. If not, you were busted, and to bed you go.

Anyway... I was reminiscing of all this stuff because, part of my novel has the Saurians, and Stone Trolls. These form part of another video game (battle for Wesnoth, free on Steam), that is from a few years ago, but it emulates those pixelated 2D games; besides... I needed something else to put on my blog, and why not? some nostalgic events which are going to trigger you guys, my incognito friends on the internet, to buy my novels ^.^

This is a Stone Troll, and its commanding Orc. Orcs and Trolls come together in Battle for Wesnoth. In my novel, they are dumber and more aggressive, still they can be trained for war, and Orcs love them.

If you wish to help this poor author, and his family. You can buy one of my novels: 10 puny dollars for a physical edition or 3 puniest (and insignificant) dollars for the kindle edition

Elf squad

"One of Menna's magical traps violently sprung off: a ghostly form could be seen fighting it, but for now remained immobilized. Ferana gripped her twin blades in expectation. She didn't make a sound, but everyone prepared themselves for the oncoming battle" This is part of the second book... It has, right now, 86 pages, but I think it will be larger than the previous one . That's the first one... I have been thinking about how some novels are better as series, and some others are better as movies. Is like with music; there is music to dance, and there is music just to listen Movies that should have been series: All the Harry Potter movies Bright Movies that are good as movies: The Lord of the Rings And series that are good as series: Game of Thrones And you know why? HP is almost a diary. When you read it, you are immersed into the daily routine of Harry with their friends, and there is a lot of background stories (common stuff h...

Darkness Inside

I am still playing Battle of Wesnoth. Addictive and difficult to master. It has some strategy in it as well as some basic rules. My most experienced Ghast has 123 Hp, my Spectre is at 53 Hp, Nightgaunt at 50 Hp, and one of my sorcerer has 92 Hp. But you can tell that we are in deep trouble. It's the 19th turn and the Orcs are still deploying units. I remember playing this a few years ago. Ubuntu was an almost new creation, you were seeing it everywhere. It promised of a better future for computers, a brighter place for free software, but it stalled. On that particular moment, I was having trouble with my own computer. I probably got it inside the Pirate Bay without protection. A proper analogy of this is to put a famished white skinny boy into a maximum security mexican prison... he is going to get his ass raped. I decided to do the unthinkable, I ditched windows and installed a brand new copy of Ubuntu. I then started tried to do everything into this new ambient. H...

from bad authors & more

First... let me show you guys my freaking new books ... which are pretty cool Me and my family bought some of them, I gotta tell you that these are way better than the "proof" books, perhaps they put more effort when the customers are "real". I was pretty happy when they arrived, so happy that I continued my second book, well, that and the fact that I have a little more time for the writing. We are in Tlaxcala, another state in Mexico... it's really cold and windy, but the panoramics are something wonderful. This is my real job, we are specialists in mechanical vibration analysis, so we go and check different machines, and we also give a technical training to analysts... I lied to you guys, I am not really an author, If I were, I would already be dead of starvation or something. The Tlaxcaltecas were an indigenous tribe in Mexico, they were paying tribute to the triple alliance ( Mexicas, Texcoco, and Tlacopan )... Indigenous tribes in Mexico ...
