jvmach67 in Crysis - Ready for Download

Greetings everyone!

This will likely be my last post until the next version of Crysis is released. The reason for the post is to let everyone know that jvmach67 in Crysis can be downloaded in three different formats, as defined below:

Full-Color - contains decent sized images from the game and the PDF file is built in a brochure-like format. The file is meant to be read via computer, handheld device, etc.
Printable - contains smaller images and no background images behind the text. It was designed to be a printable version of the full-color file.
Text-Only - contains only the text of jvmach67 in Crysis. The file is the smallest in size and can be printed using less than 85 sheets of paper. There are only a couple of images in this file.

Version 1.1 of all three formats can be downloaded at no charge from FileFront.com. Links to each format are located on the top right-hand corner of each page of jvmach67.blogspot.com. There are currently no plans for any future versions of this file. Sorry for any grammar errors that were missed.

Thanks again, to everyone who has read this blog!

I am looking forward to blogging again, once I have a new installment of Crysis to play/blog!

As always, I will be in touch soon!

Which is better ... PDF or blog?

Okay ... this is going to be my last post for a while. The post is going to be short too.

I wanted to let everyone know that I have made quite a bit of updates to the PDF files from version 1.0 to version 1.1. However, I don't plan to update the original blog entries. The main reason is the amount of time it would take to trace the changes in Microsoft Word back to Blogger.

So, if you are wanting to read through the adventure, I would recommend using one of the PDF files located on the right-hand side of any page within my blog.

Thanks!

About jvmach67 In Crysis

This blog is a fictional account of my experiences playing the Crytek game Crysis. Like Far Cry (Crytek's original release in 2004), Crysis set the first-person standard with their magnificent creation.

With the release of Crysis - Warhead, I continued telling the adventure, as explained by Psycho ... using pictures downloaded from the camera in his Nanosuit.

This blog will contain spoiliers of game material. So, if you are planning to play the games and do not wish to know what your experience will entail, I strongly suggest you avoid reading this blog. However, if you would like to read the events of the game, in a diary-like format, enjoy my blog!

For best results, I suggest you begin with my initial post, as listed below:

My Adventure From The Beginning

Already read or downloaded my Crysis Adventure? Then, maybe you wish to begin reading Sergeant Michael "Psycho" Sykes' Warhead experiences:

FAQs

Q. Do you work for Crytek?
A. No, I just had a blast playing Far Cry and could not wait to play Crysis.

Q. So, why the Blog?
A. With Far Cry, I found myself talking about the game so much that I wish I would have written about my experience instead of reciting my experiences from memory. When I played the demo for Crysis, I had to write about the adventure after purchasing the full game, so this blog was born.

Q. What is with all the stories not tied to the actual game play?
A. I wanted to write the blog as if I were Nomad. Nomad would certainly have experiences and opinions to draw upon. So, I decided I would provide additional insight into my view of his character while writing about the game.

Q. Why is the Crysis Level Update page element showing levels completed that do not have blog entries?
A. This will happen as levels are finished and blog entries still need to be created and written. The Crysis Level Update will also show where I am in the actual game vs the blog entries I have written.

Q. Do I have a military background?
A. No. I have several friends who have military backgrounds, but everything you are reading in this blog is purely fictional. All covert missions mentioned only exist inside my head.

Q. Why is there a gap between the entries?
A. Well, I am in my 40's and I have a job that demands quite a bit of my time during the day. Plus, I have a family at home, so I don't play or blog until late in the evenings. My goal is to publish at least two pages (four blog entries) per week until the Single Player Campaign is completed.

Q. Would you blog the second and third games?
A. If people are still reading this blog at the time, I think I would have to keep the blogs rolling, right?

Q. What difficulty level are you using?
A. I am only playing on Normal level. I am really not that great at playing First-Person Shooter games ... so I am far from someone who plays on the hardest levels.

Q. Do you play online in any multi-player games?
A. I do not currently play online. This is for two main reasons. First, as noted above, I am really not all that good. Second, I am worried that going online might cause me to lose control of how much I spend gaming. Remember, I play mostly at night, so the longer I play, the less sleep I end up getting. So, that would be a bad thing for others at the office where I work. (Why is jvmach67 so grouchy these days?!!!)

Q. Anything else you want to add?
A. Nomad ... signing out.
