Design: Ferrari 488 GT3

Playing Assetto Corsa Competizione has given me inspiration to convert some of the cars into artwork, starting with Ferrari’s aggressive looking 488 GT3. I’ve uploaded the design to Redbubble, mainly because I myself am going to the Blancpain GT3 races at Zandvoort the 14th of July, and I wanted to wear a shirt based on this design. If you fancy this design yourself, feel free to click on the link below! Ferrari 488 GT3 Racing on Redbubble The shirt has arrived, and it is looking mighty good, Excuse the crappy...

Video: Battling MrGit around Brands Hatch

I’ve been enjoying the full release of Assetto Corsa Competizione quite a lot right now. I’ve been steadily joining an online community centered around a streamer called MrGit (MrGit@Twitch). Since I have a dual screen setup, I have his stream on my secondary monitor, with my racing on the primary. You can’t see it in this video, but while I was battling him on this screen, I could see him battling me on my other one. Even though you can’t experience the same, this is still a good example of...

Video: Battling D.Jankovic around Hungaroring

I’ve been having loads of fun with the new Early Access release of Assetto Corsa Competizione which adds a more stable multiplayer functionality. Instead of racing the AI, I can now also battle others around some of the released tracks. A great example of the battles you can have is the above video I captured last night. It’s also my first attempt at using multiple recordings and stitching them together to form a more realistic broadcast of the action. Let me know what you think of this ACC video!

Design: “Here comes the BOOM”

Rocket League is another mighty game I enjoy. The purpose is to score an oversized ball with rocket propelled cars into the opponents goal. It’s as difficult and ridiculous as it is fun. One of the things you can do is demo(lish) your opponents car, resulting in a neat looking explosion which tanks your framerate if you have a shitty computer like I had. Now before you scroll down, please allow me to set the stage. Put up this song, BOOM, by 90’s rock-product P.O.D. Play any of these videos....

Design: Assetto Corsa Competizione Alt. Logo

When Assetto Corsa Competizione (ACC) was first announced, I was just experiencing my first Assetto Corsa ‘high’. I was a bit late to the party. However, I thought that AC1 lacked a bit of focus. ACC promises to be about GT3 cars, and GT3 only – featuring the Blancpain GT-series. This prompted some inspiration, so I created this ACC logo; Assetto Corsa Competizione can be purchased HERE on Steam. I highly recommend you doing so. I might do a review later.

Music review: ‘Every Country’s Sun’ by Mogwai

Post rock, as a genre, is hard to define. It is a mix of synthesizers and rock music, culminating in a sound that can be described as ‘atmospheric’ at best. It is even harder to suggest to someone to give it a try. The songs are often way over six minutes long and have generally very long intro’s. They have slow tempo’s, lack any real chorus and, more often than not, lack any vocals as well. At first glance, the songs are highly repetitive and monotone. They aren’t catchy. They...

Design: “Let’s Go Team Liquid”

I made this design while watching the finals of The International 2017 (TI7) to support Team Liquid, who went on to win the the tournament. The tournament itself had an underwater theme, prompting me to go for a design styled after the first two Bioshock videogames. “Let’s go Liquid” was the chant heard in support of the team, consisting of Kuroky, Miracle, Matumbaman, GH and Mind_Control. The rights for the use of the Pegasus logo lies with Team Liquid, which means this design is not available for (re)sale.

Delving into the mystery of Game of Thrones’ ‘Azor Ahai’

‘A Song of Ice and Fire’, better known as Game of Thrones  (GoT) has a very rich mythology. The world in which it is set is nearly as fleshed out as Lord of the Rings’ Middle Earth. However, unlike Lord of the Rings, George RR Martin’s series has not been finished yet. Therefore, a lot of the mythos has not received a definitive answer by the author. One of these open-ended discussions is the prophecy of Azor Ahai. In this post, I will disclose my theory on who Azor Ahai are (yes, are). First...
