Go to the downloads section and check out the blackfire section inside you will see a zip folder of the 0.0.1.1 release unzip and run the setup.exe it will install and run the game basically it will download any extra files you may need like .Net 2.0 and other stuff. In the future you will just have to run the setup.exe inorder to get the new alphas. But the new beta 0.1 will need to be a new redownload as I will be reworking the system for that release.

First system that will be release in 0.0.1.2 will be the equipment system in which you will be able to equip items. Currently there is nothing you can do with the system but this should change with 0.0.1.2 as I will include a save file that can be downloaded and used to equip items. schedule has me doing 0.1 as the first game release where you will be able to attack monsters.

Hey look at this I am updating my site. Anyways I just finished developing a Robot Dance program for my Computer Graphics class so I have uploaded it to my development folder. A new alpha of Blackfire will be uploaded to the site soon.

We were down for awhile but we are back on a new host now!

Thats right this website will be going down and then updated with new skin and stuff and remade into a development only site. I may also add in some stuff for games not sure quite yet. The forums are already shut down and will be destroyed all together eventually! The forums will be reborn on my other site and more strictly monitored. Go to Miketolland.com if you want to learn more!

This site I think is just about down I am not sure what I am gonna do if I am gonna merge this site with my new one or If I am gonna redo this site or what. The forum here will go down not that anyone uses it and eventually be re setup on my new site. The gallery here will stay open for the see able future and beyond that software projects will continue on here. This most likely won’t be my last post but if you want to see more up to date posts and news about me better to check out my new site at miketolland.com

Seems like I need to watch my e-mail more carefully!

I lost the rights to my domain for like 3 days anyways I got them back and things are back to normal.

My new computer is working and well thats about it for now.
Update you later with more info!

It works and its beautiful I got 70fps with all things maxed at 1680 by 1050 on oblivion. I haven’t even overclocked yet! My cpu temps are in the mid 30s which is better then I could ever ask for!

Next step is to install all my games and start playing.

More info when I get back to my apartment!

I am thinking about redoing the site hopefully to spur interest in the site and to spur my interest again. I haven’t even touched my personal site in ages and this site is starting to feel old. I have a feeling I can do it. None of this will happen though until maybe next week as this weekend is mother’s day and I am building a new computer on saturday that will be my pride and joy. Final specs for the computer are:

Case: LIAN LI PC-65B @ $119

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 @ $199

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-965-DS3 @ $129

Video Card: EVGA GeForce 8800gtx @ $559

RAM: Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x 1GB) DDR2-800 @ $99

Hard Drive: Western Digital 500gb SATAII @ $120

Sound Card: Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer @ $39.99

HeatSink: Zalman 9500 LED @ $50

Power Supply: Enermax Liberty 620watt @ $110

Optical: Nec ide dvd-burner(already have this)
Lite-on black IDE DVD Burner @ $29

TV Tuner: Hauppauge Wintv-PVR-150 @ $72

Monitor: Samsung 226BW @ Already have this

So thats it my new computer its gonna be a monster after I OC the e6600 to 3.6ghz. I hope to be playing Oblivion in all its glory sometime next week. My Father wants to put together a site for the family since we have a tight nit name and our family name is pretty rare or something I dunno. Anyways he wants to create this big thing and wants me to put it together I am hesitant to make this thing because I know he won’t pay attention to it after a month. My sister is looking to update her gallery and I am thinking I will do that as part of a total redo of my online real estate.

Saw heroes last night and if you haven’t seen it yet I recommend not reading this paragraph. None the less this episode was basic and had Hiro and Sylar at odds for most of it. Sylar killed his mom and because of it basically lost all sense he had and went crazy now he is basically super evil. IN a first in a long time I am not sure how they are gonna stretch the ending to two more episodes it feels like the show could end in the next episode or that they should make the next episode a 2 hour extravaganza.

Adult Swim apologized for the mess up on the last Eureka seveN episode and has re-aired it basically in tact which is good. Looking forward to seeing Ghost in the Shell this upcoming weekend.

Thats it for now Talk to you all later.

Ordered my Monitor going to pick it up tonight at a party. Had it delievered to my family’s house since I live in an apartment complex.

Anyways Current specs for my computer are as follows

Gigabyte GA-965p-DS3

Roswell 600w psu (Upgrading this to something else)

Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 (already bought for 200 dollars on a mistake at Frys.com woohoo)

Lian Li PC-65 case

Sound cared : TBA

Ram: TBA (will be DDR2-800)

Seagate 7200.10 500gb Harddrive or Samsung Spinpoint 500gb harddrive

Liteon 20x DVD burner

Samsung 226BW monitor

Zalman 9500led Heatsink

With this computer I hope to overclock cpu to about 3.2ghz which is about 8 x 400 which works with my Ram so thats good.

Needless to say this whole system is gonna be bought next friday so I can’t wait!

Hmm I am writing again after so long isn’t that suprising. Well I thought why the hell not! I got some new developments to share with everyone.

First off I am now working at an internship at a tech company. Mostly I am doing test stuff for their software. Its a good job with alot of learning to be done. I am living on my own now have an apartment not to far from where I work. I was talking to my boss today and he was saying how someone he works with found my website and thought it was interesting which is nice. I am pretty sure he was talking about my personal website since this one is pretty obscure.

Secondly, Eureka Seven is about to end on AS I know it seems like just yesterday I was doing the pics every week. Well I will be doing a special episode 49 and 50 screencaps gauranteed! working on them today. Also I am working on maybe doing screencaps for Blood+ after that. As far as other Anime news well there isn’t much currently watching Bleach, New Naruto, and Death Note. All three series are currently airing some of the best episodes ever. I am reading the manga for Bleach and Naruto but not for Death Note.

Thirdly I had alot of projects I said I would do but I didn’t well lets see I got the story I was writing, the game I was developing and the personal site I was working on. Well seems like none of that panned out to well. None the less I am still writing only its another new story. Who knows maybe this will turn out ok. I plan to in the future write summaries up of the plot lines of my other stories so people could see where I was going with each.

My game is at the moment in no wheres land. I really want to get back into it but its been so long since I took a look at it that I am unsure how to get back into the swing of things. None the less I am going to try and do something with it. Right now looking at creating a map generation system. So i don’t have to create maps for everything. What I really need is some graphics which is a work in progress.

Fourthly, Defragged is back or was and then died and now might be coming a back again. See while I was not posting defragged came back to play WOW and then after a month or 2 kinda died out. Now it seems like people are coming back again this time to play COD2 at the behest of Jeremiah. We’ll see how this pans out and keep you posted. Check out the defragged website at defragged.net

Well thats that! Nothing more to add at the moment but I expect to be writing alot more now since I have some spare time while I am at work tomorrow I will post my new computer spec or the “igloo version 3″.
