++ got a new Girlfriend in May and we get along very well so far. <3 <3 <3
++ got rid of insane ex GF which almost ruined my life completely
++ stopped smoking cigarettes (Well after being a casual smoker (~ 4 cigarettes a day) for 11 years i finally managed to stopp that shit in 2011. From March to December 2011 i only smoked a total of ~ 15 cigarettes spread over 3 days ... besides that i was completely smoke free since March 2011.
o didnt play much poker in 2011
I improved my knowledge of the game a lot by reading all kinda theory stuff but besides march 2011 where i made ~ 1K USD grinding 30K hands i didnt feel like playing poker for most of the year.
strangley after the best month i had in quite some time i didnt feel any drive to continue playing.
played a bit every here and there .. lost like ~200$ after march till i decided to give myself another shot at poker in September
this time i tried HU SNgs but it didnt go too well ... after a whole month of grind i ended ~ + 200€ which was a joke compared to how much effort i did put in
only good thing was i binked 440$ at a Sunday Storm
after that dissapointing month i did another break till Late December.
deposited 60€ on Pokerstars ~ 10 days ago and started to play 6max
did go well untill today where i went on monkey tilt.
cashed out 146€ after spewing away 100$ in pf all in on NL100 HU T_T (that i enterd because i was breakeven on Nl10€ the last 2 days despite putting in solid hours and playing good)
I guess in whole 2011 i played around 60K hands and made 1,5K profits.
besides the fact that i never really was any good at poker i think i finally accepted that i am just not meant to be a poker player.
I will play every now and then whenever i feel like playing.
But i doubt 2012 would be so much different than 2011 in terms of poker
- - MMA
My MMA 2011 was a complete desaster
I was planning to do 3-4 fights 2011 and getting some sponsorship comming off from winning some smaller shows in Germany the
FAC SHow where i went 3-0 (Descison , 1stround KO, 1st round TKO)and FFA new Talents show 2011 by knocking out a Judo blackbelt in the first round i had pretty high expectations for 2011.
Year could not have been worse !
I only made 1 fight since i got sick or injured in every one of the 3 other prefight training camps ... (WTF)
The one fight i made was a desaster , too ..
it only lasted a few seconds and then i got cut over the inside of my eye and the ref stopped it ...
for anyone who is interested ... allthough its not worth watching it
So well good thing is its not possible to get any worse in 2012
Legend Hand of God
Paladin lvl 51 till "Nightmare" Act3 ~ 18h
yay ...
Well my 4 main conculsions from this are
1.) Diablo 2 is still fun even for the 50th time
2.) Torchlight was kinda dissapointing monotone
3.) Legend Hand of God was kinda buggy but overall surprinsingly fun and i think it definitely was a ton better than torchlight
4.) Diablo 3 will probably be much better than any D2 clone of the last years ever was
Here are some screens for those who never played Hand of God and want someting till D3 comes out
here u can see how a low level char looks and what the stats in my next picture mean
Inventar/Char screen of my paladin when he was LVL 48 right before going into battle with the Ac2 Nightmare end boss (big dragon)
U can imagine its pretty much like Diablo with just some minor changes that u get used to after 1-2 hours
There are Unique and magic items , there is an Inventar and u can invest Points in Strength, Dexterity,Life,Magic when u level up
U can boost these stat points using items ( thats why they are blue in my picture)
Hand of God skill system
Unfortunately every char only has 2 Skill trees and can only invest Talent points till a maximum of 10.
U can get skills as high as 20 with the help of items though ( thats why some of my skills are 13)
Well its a lot simpler than Diablo2/Lod but well the fun is about items anyways
heres is a video to get you a better impression of the game. ( Its not me in the video ... its a random german guy whoms Video i found on the internetz)
This is Act 3 Final Boss in Normal mode
Graphics are much better than it looks in the video and are actually quite nice and gameplay is as u can see very typical D2 style
Only downside to the game is that there is quite a lot of bugs even with patch 1.02 final
Most bugs that accour though dissapear when after restart the game.
U can either buy it for ~ 10$
or get the SKIDROW Version ( allthough u have to get gamecopyworld no CD and a german Patch 1.02 ... but it works)
