Infinity Blade - iPad Game Review

I have recently reviewed Infinity Blade II. After playing for a while I was curious to check out the original game.

It is almost exactly like the sequel, except for the keys (which are mostly annoying), gems (which quite frankly I'm not sure are necessary).

There is a little difference that I found a major improvement, however - in the middle of the battles, on both games you have little cut-scenes at certain damage levels on your enemies. Then they jump back, fall back, or just fall. In the first game, it doesn't matter if you just started hitting - the cut-scene starts. That  means that instead of getting in 4-6 hits and a combo, you get a tiny amount of damage. That is quite annoying, and it was fixed on Infinity Blade II.

Overall, pretty good, albeit quite repetitive. The system whereas you keep beginning again (in the first game, you are supposed to be the son of the last warrior who died, continuously. Why you get all his stuff AND experience? No idea) is a great idea on their part - they get to keep you on basically the very same content over and over again. But it does get a bit boring, exactly because of that.

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master

I've read Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master last week. It was pretty good, although if you have a few years of experience and good practices, you should be familiar with most of what it says, even if you don't follow it in practice :-) . Some of their bullet points are: - Don't duplicate - Write flexible code - Use Contracts, assertions and exceptions - Test - Automate where possible - Use a version control system. Obviously, many of these points have a lot to do with refactoring and XP. They also have another neat book on Automation, Pragmatic Project Automation: How to Build, Deploy, and Monitor Java Apps . Obviously that is much less relevant to a Delphi programmer, but you can still learn quite a bit from it. After I started reading it, I automated large sections of my build and release process (in PHP - it's easy to use in the command-line, too, and some parts are re-usable on the site). It saves a lot of time and enables you to stop worrying if you ...
