I have been playing Mount & Blade: Warband quite much lately…

Now that I haz holiday, I started drawing my character (on the right) and my favourite npc hero Ymira. Doing a big detailed picture has been on my mind for a while and finally I have time to do such a thing.

I enjoy the game because even if you lose absolutely everything (and even the faction you are with gets reduced to one city in a week) you can start building up again and the fighting is always fun. (as is equipping female characters with bad-ass weapons)

So this week is free from school and then starts the last period before summer holidays. I have no idea what to do during summer. I can either study or go job hunting. And most jobs are in Helsinki.

I also applied for a transfer year at the University of Abertay Dundee in Scotland. Its going to be full 8 months if I get accepted.

This is not official yet, but I cleared the interview easily and will start on the programming line next year. \o/

I will also try to sneak into design and graphic classes, because Mr. Sweetman, who teaches both is one of the best teachers I have encountered. (And he speaks native british english…Mount & Blade Warband and got my GTX 560 3D card and two new chassis fans installed today. Works like a charm and my computer is now super silent.

I like the game very much, but then again it’s the first sandbox rpg I have played. I also enjoy the combat mechanisms and sort of realism. My current (and first) character is a trader who has a 20 strong band of peasants and villagers.

There is nothing like charging on the horse and lopping of looter heads with an axe! Or just riding around the countryside and watching the sunrise.
