Fixed a crash on the military screen, fixed a problem with arena items disappearing, reorganized the attribute descriptions a bit, made some adv mode keys work that weren't working, fixed some broken ramps in caves... I took all of the old underground features that no longer exist out of the site finder, though I didn't do desired updates there yet. There was kind of a violent explosion of boiling human blood when I was testing a human vs a magma man in the arena... it was a little weird, but I guess that's okay.

Decided to get more light gathering power, this 200/1200 Sky-Watcher dobson (pyrex version) is a nice improvement to my old 70/700 refractor. Stars appear much brighter and big stars have four huge spokes. Dobson mount was a mystery to me, because I had never used that before, but it's not that bad. It's quite difficult to find stuff, but it might be the finderscope that doesn't have a star diagonal. Planning to get one.
Dobsons are really inexpensive gear and you get a lot of power for price. Even the feared
collimation was easier than I thought, because there was no need to do it! I guess it can be somewhat difficult, but it's not like it was rocket science. If you are planning to get a telescope I would recommend a dobson. They are cheap and there is no need to buy expensive mount and if the dobson mount is damaged you can pretty much make one yourself.
It's somewhat large piece of equipment, but you can (and possibly should) detach the mount from the tube when carrying it. Really nice thing about this tube is that it has 2" eyepiece tube with 1,25" adaptor. 2" eyepieces are epic shit.
I have two 2" eyepieces. Meade Wide Angle 26mm and Baader Hyperion 8mm. Look at the size of those suckers compared to ordinary 1,25" eyepiece.
The equipment side of this hobby is much like guitar gear acquisition. You spend ridiculous amount of money to ever better equipment that have cool names like Baader Hyperion. But I'm just a beginner and besides I like watching stars.
Oh yes, the development of Teemu is now slower, because I have been quite depressed lately, but I believe I'm going to continue it soon.

As is every so often when I come across a game that looks interesting, this is a review of "Dance of Death", a flash game that was mentioned on RGRD. It's a "tech demo" at this point. As a flash game, it's very difficult to have issues getting the game to run, point your browser at the link and go.
The first thing one comes across when they start the game is in the title screen, and then the

Development on Kharne has restarted (slowly, but surely). The next version will have the following changes and bug fixes:
- Potions have been implemented.
- Some monsters now follow characters up and down stairs.
- Only the just finished game will be now highlighted correctly in the hiscore list after character death.
- Spurious double quotes (") will no longer appear in automatically generated character names.
- When resting, there is chance of a monster appearing randomly nearby the character.
- Eating now restores all lost health points.
This last change was prompted by
this thread in r.g.r.d.
