ComplementGaming
y0 guys!
So as you guys might already know, I've been talking about making game reviews, game play videos and such. I didn't really had a good and "official" name for my YouTube channel or livestream so I finally created ComplementGaming.
Complement is not the same thing as a compliment (see the difference between the "e" and the "i"?). My idea was to create a strong and creative name that somehow could explain what I'm doing and since reviews and such is kinda a complement of the real thing, in this case a game I thought that this name would fit quite well.
You're more than welcome to watch me livestreaming at www.livestream.com/complementgaming/ or watch the "old" streams when the channel is OFFLINE.
I already recorded some gameplay of me playing the game Torchlight, an action role-playing game published by Runic Games. Torchlight II is planned to release this summer but has a closed BETA right now. I'll write more about this Torchlight in the next post so please stay tuned!

Diablo III BETA - Review and screenshots
So, as many of you guys might know. There was an open BETA weekend for the upcoming game Diablo III which will release May 15th in Europe and North America.
Even though I haven't played the previous Diablo games before I wanted to try it out!
"Diablo III is an upcoming dark fantasy/horror-themed action role-playing game in development by Blizzard Entertainment, making it the third installment in the Diablo franchise. The game, which features elements of the hack and slash and dungeon crawl genres, was first announced on June 28, 2008, at the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational in Paris, France, and is set to be released in North America and Europe on May 15, 2012, and in Latin American countries and Russia on June 7, 2012." - Wikipedia (25/4 - 12)
Game story: The game story/storyline was very easy to follow even though I haven't played the previous games in the Diablo series. The story is based on the previous two games which tells us about the three prime evils
Diablo, the Lord of Terror
Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred
Baal, the Lord of Destruction
In the BETA you start out in the town called New Tristam. As many of you might understand, this indicates that a significant amount of time has elapsed since Diablo II. You're about to seek a fallen star that crached onto Tristam Cathedral and the only one who survived was a girl named Leah Cain. She thinks that her uncle Deckard Cain is still alive after the comet crasched and you're going to try and help her find him. This leads to fights in the ruins of the cathedral and meeting enemies that you didn't think you would.
Character: You could choose to be either female or male and choose your class. I do know that some might want to customize their character(s) so I would've liked to see an option so you at least could customize your character a bit more but unfortunately Blizzard has chosen to skip that part.
But the game is about the game story and the game itself so I guess this isn't too important.
Classes: There are five different classes; monk, witch doctor, demon hunter, barbarian and wizard. Since I like mage or ranged classes I picked wizard to start with.
Skills: The skills were nicely done and most of them were pretty useful and using them against mobs gave you a pretty easy win. A friend who played as a witch doctor thinks that the skills were really overpowered in that class.
You couldn't choose your own bindings between the skills since each skill had an "original" binding already. If you had two different skills that had the same key binding, you could only choose to assign one skill at a time. In this way depending on what quest you were doing and mobs you were facing, you had to assign the one's that you could find very useful.
Gears and items: By killing mobs, they would drop different items, gears and gold. You could find some of the stuff very useful and the stuff you didn't want to have, you could either sell to different NPC's in town or put in your stash. Gears had differen't abilities and some of them were only for a certain class so you couldn't use it. I only picked up one of those through the time I played the BETA so guess that they're rare. Although I missed that there wasn't some kind of special "class master" NPC that could hand out a quest so you could receive better gears for your class.
You could after a finishing a certain quest "upgrade" or make another item at the Blacksmith's. You could buy items from NPC's too of course.
The environment: In game, the environment were nicely done with effects like fog and such which made it more realistic and harder to see if mobs were close or not. Also, you couldn't really look into a tunnel if you weren't in it. With the sound effects of a monster being close, you had to be fast and attack it if it was hiding inside the tunnel. Almost every character was dubbed, even your own and if you're not the type who likes to read I guess that you would find it very useful. Anyhow, it made it a lot more realistic.
NPC (Non-player character): I really liked the idea about the NPC's talking to eachother if you stood close to them, giving you more information about what have happend and their own thoughts and feelings as citizens. You could get pretty good information about the storyline in this way. There were also characters in game that would follow you (or you them) depending on the different quests. Your own character did talk to the different characters in game as well so it was easy to follow conversations. Also, the characters would fight against enemies if they were close.
EXP and levels: Killing mobs and finisihing quests would give you EXP. I'm not quite sure what Diablo 3's highest level will be but sources says.
Level 30 - Normal Difficulty
Level 50 - Nightmare Difficulty
Level 60 - Insane Difficulty
Hot keys: Something I missed here was the ability to move with WASD instead of your computer mouse. Although this might not be a big problem for people who are used to play games where you have to move with your computer mouse but might be a bigger problem for gamers who plays a lot with WASD or the arrow keys. Otherwise it was pretty easy to use and most of the key bindings were like the "normal" one's; (I) for Inventory, (M) for map and so on. Read more about the skill bindings on "Skills".
Summarize - My own thoughts after playing the Diablo III BETA
Actually, I thought it would be more complicated and harder but on normal difficulty, it wasn't. I do think that they made the skills a bit overpowered and they should at least give more unskilled Diablo players some challenge. I do think that it seems to be a pretty awesome and fun game and the storyline is pretty exciting. I liked the idea of primary skills because this would make you really think about what kind of skills you really need in different situations.
So am I going to pre-purchase this game?
My answer is: No. This is simply because I would like to play the previous games first although I might buy this game later on. I've heard that Blizzard usually don't make too complicated games. I would guess that this is because they want as many as possible to be able to play the game and in this way, they'll earn a lot of money.
And also for the big Diablo fans out there, Steelseries will be selling gaming gears and there'll be a Diablo III computer mouse. This computer mouse will count how many clicks you have used during the game. This will perhaps give you a bit more challenge when you try to click as less as you can through out the entire game?
Thank you for reading my review of the Diablo III BETA. I hope that You found this update interesting and if you got any suggestions, questions, compliments or anything, please post it as a comment on this update!
SCREENSHOTS
Your own flag. You could customize it and unlock different designs
An aura, you could find those in different places.
See that pomegranate-looking thing? That would regenerate your HP (health points) and those were dropped by killing mobs.
The map
Inventory
Skills
Choosing your primary skill
In New Tristam (look at the chat window to see what I ment with "having conversations")
See the two different "balls"? The red one shows how much HP you have left and the purple one (which is half in this picture) shows how much energy you have left so you can use spells.
Even though I haven't played the previous Diablo games before I wanted to try it out!

Reminder: Clean your keyboard!
I decided to clean my keyboard because most of you guys know that keyboards love to collect dust and other... stuff. I really recommend you guys to clean out your keyboard once in a while because even if you can't see it that well, there are yuck below the keys that you probably don't want to have there.
For you guys who haven't done it or who doesn't know how to do it, you just pull out the different keys and try to clean out the surface below as much as you can. I use air duster which is pure, compressed dry gas and then I just use some kind of cloth to clean off the keys.
I realized that I had some problems putting back space bar; it didn't wanna work properly afterwards. I'll show you how to put it back at the right place if you don't know how to do it already!
Pull out the key, now I'm just showing how to do it on the right bottom Ctrl.
Move the metal part so it looks like this
Now attach the small metal hooks into the plastic parts at the far left and right side of the area.
After attaching the hooks, lightly lift the space bar upwards so the metal part looks like this.
Click the space bar into the right position.
Done!
Here are some before and after pictures of my keyboard!
After some air duster, a much more clean surface beneath the keys!
So, this is a small reminder that your keyboard also needs some love and care, especially if you smash your pimples by facerolling it. ;)

New computer and such
y0y0 guys!
Just checking in to say that I'll start streaming, make video reviews and game play videos asap! I'm getting a new computer soon and a video camera so I'll really focus a lot on my YouTube channel. For you guys who haven't subscribed to my channel, please do! http://www.youtube.com/ggblogTV
I'll also sell out some stuff so if you're interested in a Nintendo 64 with one hand control or perhaps random games or bead art, stay tuned! I'll start to take photos of everything and might update later tonight since I'm in school right now.
This picture does not belong to me, but I find it quite awesome.

Random stuff!

AAAAAAAAH MAPLESTORYYYY
Hey guys! Sorry for a very late update! I've been trying out Maplestory since I'm on a break from League of Legends at the moment; Why? Because sometimes you just need a break so you can find a game entertaining again.
Well anyways, I really like this cute 2D animated MMORPG and have been doing a lot of different quests and as far as I know, there are plenty of them to do in MS. I really like the idea of the different medals you can get in game by finishing different quests and such. I participated in an event quest and collected up to 5000+ excavasion points that you get by finding Ancient Relics, dropped by mobs in game. In return, I had the opportunity to pick either an archelogic hat or glasses - I picked the hat. Oh and I also got a medal that says "2012 Artifact Hunter" Now that I'm already on the subject items, I must say that Nexon has a great way to get money from their players. When you buy an items, let's say a pretty dress or something in game, it's not permanent. It'll dissapear after some weeks. I think that's pretty lame, because I would rather stay with a look that I like than spending 30-60 bucks every 3rd month. I guess that this fits other people better and yeah, you don't have to waste money but if you wanna have an own unique look, then you'll have to. Or find a game where you can at least keep those items permanently.
This is a look I would love to have on my character! That would be expensive to get tho'.

What makes an online game a good one? Question
Hey guys! Haven't been that motivated to update the blog but I thought that I could make a small one now. I guess that most of you guys have been playing or at least been trying out an online game.
I think it's really funny to learn new things in a game and in that way, I get motivated to keep playing. I also think it's nice to meet new people and to see what the game has to offer their players and how they have designed the game! Actually, I would really like to play some Maple Story! More about that later.
So, as I mentioned before I just wanted to make a small update and I would also like to ask you a few questions for my next update. I would really appreciate if you guys took some time to post a comment with your answers!
What makes an online game a good one? Is it the community? Design? Game play?
Share your own experience of any game that you have been playing a lot before, what made you keep playing it?
Have you ever quit a game? If yes, how come?

Interview: What do You like to eat and drink while gaming?
I like to drink something while gaming, I don't really know why. I guess that you spend a lot of time in front of your computer and need something so that your throat doesn't get dry after raging on noobs. Just kidding though, but munching and drinking while gaming is what I know, classic. It's like when you're watching a movie, you use to get some snacks right? I asked some gamers, casual one's and the best game reviewer from MMOHUT.com to answer some question about their eating habits while gaming! I myself prefer some kind of soft soda (I love Mtn Dew) or nice and cold water. For snacks, I don't know really, chocolate perhaps! Or some potato chips. But I prefer drinking while gaming instead of munching.
Me with a LO-Carb Monster Energy drink. Looking a bit sleepy hahah
What do you like to munch on and to drink? Leave a comment!

What about energy drinks, do you like them and if you do, how much and often do you drink'em?
As far as energy drinks, I don't drink them whatsoever. I think they are terrible things to put into your body.
Do you prefer any other drinks better?
My drink of choice is a Peach or Raspberry Snapple, or Orange juice with a lot of pulp. Like, enough pulp that you almost have to chew it!
Do you often sit and munch on something when you're gaming or is it just sometimes?
I don't do it.
If you're going to a LAN, what do you bring with you to eat and drink and how much?
If I were to go to a LAN I'd bring some Beef Jerky and OJ.
Vote for the #1 gaming drink and crub. You can only vote for one drink and one crub.
My vote for #1 gaming drink would be Mountain Dew Code Red. Have you ever had that? It's soooo good! GG hope this was helpful!
Thank you for answering, glhf!
Music while gaming
I enjoy listening to music while playing a game or two (or more lol). I usually find it pretty nice to listen to fox trax, hardstyle or any other electronic music meanwhile but that can variate. I remember when I was around 4 years old, sitting beside my sister while she was playing Zelda - Ocarina of Time we were always listening to Alphaville hahah!
I like to listen to the in game music and sounds but sometimes it can just get annoying. Especially when you're playing some kind of MMORPG and the audio is on repeat. Meanwhile when you're playing LoL, some sounds can be really effective to hear, to locate your enemy for an example.
So, what kind of music do you prefer listening to while gaming? Perhaps you have a gaming music playlist? Share!
This is a great song I would like to share with you guys. Eargasm!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope that you had a great evening and a good start on this new year.
The last year have been filled with gaming and I've been trying out a lot of different games, went to DreamHack twice and met a lot of new friends in game. Awesome games have been released and yeah, I could say that the last year was a gaming year! Don't you think?

Music games
During the Steam sales I bought a lot of different games but the one that I really liked the most was Audiosurf.
Audiosurf is a music-adapting puzzle racer and each ride is determined by the song you choose. The ride will go faster if you choose a faster song and you can choose if you want the song to go even faster with something called iron mode and that will take your ride to another level!
You can download songs from the Audiosurf Radio but you can also pick a song that you already have on your computer! There are achievements too for you guys who'd like to complete those.
I really like music games, before I started to play Tales of Pirates I played the well known Guitar Hero and from time to time I also play StepMania so I really enjoy music games and it's always funny to try to beat your own highscore or a friend's highscore. Let's not forget to complete a song too, of course. I like the whole idea to see how fast you can dodge blocks or hit the right keys at the same time that you're playing some awesome song. Excercising your fingers and see how fast they are, or something like that eh... But yeah! Concentration and how fast do you react? Challenge yourself!
There are a lot of different music games some of them on arcade machines and Dance Dance Revolution is one of the most popular one where you dance and gosh, I've seen some reaaaaally fast footsteps I tell you that...
I also bought Beat Hazard but haven't tried it out yet. Beat Hazard is another music game but the same time it's an arcade shooter game, also determined on what songs you choose to play. As I've seen and heard it has some crazy light effects.

Here's an Audiosurf video. Ninjo mono (elite) and iron mode on. This is NOT me playing

Merry Christmas!
Hey guys, Merry Christmas to ya'll! I hope that you've had or gonna have a great time with beloved one's and maybe you got/will get something great as a Christmas gift too? Share!
Some of you guys might have it a bit hard to read the text on my blog because of the background and the text colour. For me, I actually see the text on the black part in the middle but it depends on what kind of resolution you have on your screen. So, I'll try to fix this asap, get another background so it'll get easier for you to read.
I bought myself Audiosurf the last day and I love it! Gonna try to write more about music games in any the upcoming posts.
Once again, Merry Christmas everyone!
1up's! Got them as gifts from my sister. There're actually candies inside of'em.

Steam Holiday Sale and The Great Gift Pile
Steam has a lot of great deals for you guys that want to buy new or old games right now. I bought Portal 2 for approximately $9,75 which is a REALLY great price for such an awesome game. One of my friends also bought me the RPG game Chantelise and I also saw that I had received a Steam Gift: Half Life 2 and Half Life 2: Lost Coast. The same friend got Half Life 2: Episode One as his Steam Gift and he gave it to me. So I have some new games to check out now but really, thank you a lot Tom!
OH! I also got a Steam coupon -50% on any Homefront game that'll release somewhere between January 2012 and March(?) 2012.
Except for that, they have The Great Gift Pile which means that you can play games, complete objectives and by doing that you'll get gifts. This is something I think is really funny, especially for people that loves to complete achievements. I'll have a look at it myself and see if I can complete any of the objectives.
One of my friends is also giving out games he doesn't want that he gets by completing the objectives, I'll see what games he wanna give out and come back to you about it later.
I also asked Tom and Petter to answer some questions about the Steam Holiday Sale and the Great Gift Pile.
Petter
What do you think about the Steam Holiday Sale?
I believe that it's a great idea for selling games and attracting loyal customers.
Are you planning to buy any game during the Holiday Sale?
I would if i could but unfortunately i'm unable to do that because Steam does not support my card.
What do you think about The Great Gift Pile where you play games and complete objectives to get gifts?
A pretty smart move by Valve if you ask me. It brings an urge to buy games and complete games to receive gifts such as free games and more.
Are you going to try out any of the objectives?
Yes i will but only with those games that i have.
Tom
What do you think about the Steam Holiday Sale?
I love the steam holiday sale! and its fun to work for the achievements to get the games.
Are you planning to buy any game during the Holiday Sale?
yes have bought early christmas presents on the sale. :D
What do you think about The Great Gift Pile where you play games and complete objectives to get gifts?
like i said before its a fun thing to work hard for your achievements, and i have not be working on the achievements yet.
Are you going to try out any of the objectives?
No But i will. :D

Okay guys, I've got requests about more reviews, game plays and such and even my friend Omer from MMOHUT.com thinks that I should get myself a YouTube channel (I do have one, my fan dubbing channel http://www.youtube.com/user/konama) sooooo I did create one. Be sure to check it out and leave requests! http://www.youtube.com/user/GGblogTV
I'll see if I'll try out any game that you guys requested in the last post and upload it on the channel tonight.
I also wished for a HD webcam so I can make great videos for you guys! And a small little fridge that I can have on my desk...
'til then, subscribe if you'd like!

What would You like to read about?
Hey!
In the last post some dude commented and was pretty interested in games such as Starcraft II and World of Warcraft and requested more posts about P2P games (Pay 2 Play). I try out games that I think looks funny but I wouldn't mind trying out games if you guys are requesting it, or at least see if anyone else that's already playing the game can tell us more about it! As some of you guys may already know, my sister wrote a post about Zelda Skyward Sword in this blog.
I also have a request to interview Husky, a commentator for SC2 and my plan is to see if I can get in touch with him.
So my question to you guys is what would you like to read/see more of in my blog?
Aw, Sion really got some green hands over there. Planting wards all over.
