Visiting Batlló house.

Posted on 10:39 AMby Eddard Stark with No comments
During my travels through allied kingdoms, recently I visited a building of architect Antoni Gaudí: the Batlló house in Barcelona, in the Kingdom of Spain. Obviously there is no comparison to my cozy castle of Winterfell but I must say that this is an interesting building.

It is a building with innovative and original shapes and structural forms being a great source of inspiration for designers and architects.
It was built for the Batlló family and both the design and the construction management were carried out by the architect Antoni Gaudí.

On the facade of the building there are shapes inspired by the sea, waves and even bones of large creatures like dragons in the balcony railings and exterior columns.

Inside it is possible appreciate that the wealthy Batlló family lived not badly.



Although the fact that these sumptuous containers were empty is suspect.

Furniture was also designed by Antoni Gaudí.

Design of the windows intended to evoke the ocean surf:

The walls and the whole interior of the rooms have original forms, there are not the usual plane walls with 4 corners.


Designs of dragon scales are present throughout the building.

It is very remarkable the tiles geometric design:






The building also features a showy terrace.



In one of the rooms there is a guestbook where I could sign to honor them with a proof of my noble visit:

And the sign (bottom right):

Posted on 9:54 AMby Eddard Stark with No comments
Motion Twin is an independent programming studio dedicated to online games, all accesible for free in their plataform twinoid. Among theirs games the most notable is Mush.

Mush is a cooperative space adventure game for 16 players, 2 of which are infiltrated alien enemies. All players are on the Daedalus spaceship. The 14 human players must work together to kill the two aliens (called mush) and overcome all difficulties to keep the spaceship, which includes defending against attacks of enemy spaceships, make planetary expeditions to replenish fuel, food and oxygen, repair all failures, etc. Your ultimate goal is to investigate the antimush cure and come with the spaceship to the Eden or return to Earth. The objective of the 2 infiltrated alien players is avoid that as soon as possible.

All crew members are different and each one has essential skills for the team, so it's a team game in which everyone will have to cooperate for a successful spaceship. The mush players can be discovered investigating because they will try to sabotage the spaceship.
Who will be the mush in the game is determined randomly, users can not choose, and a very important rule is that does not matter if you do not like it, but you must do everything possible to defeat the enemy side, ie if you are mush you must act accordingly and not reveal your identity. Any improper action is reported and the culprits are punished.
