Andreas Ahlborn's Blog

I am a full-time Games/Multimedia-programmer for a large german Toy Company since 2007.

In my spare time, I love to play games (a lot), currently AC3, ME3 and Demon Souls. I have Three Sons that are all passionate gamers, too.

Riding Bikes and playing pianos, whenever I need it.

Comment In: All Your Nintendo Let's Plays Are Belong To Nintendo? [Blog - 05/17/2013 - 12:26]

While an interesting territory, i get the feeling most of these upcoming cases that will carve out a thumb-of-ruling how future generations will be legally allowed to remix, reuse or build upon existing, copyrighted materials is simply there to keep our courts busy and our lawyers rich. r nAnybody who ...

I m astonished that nobody in this thread has mentioned trainers, freezer or cheat-codes which are practically available for every game out there in the wilderness. God-modes, infinite-health all left in the game from the devs for testing purposes. r n r nSo it might be this discourse is not ...

Great read. r n r nEven if Halo might stand for a lot the Indie-scene despises, I must admit the people behind this Leviathan have my utmost respect. The passion to perfect the Formula and to do their universe justice is more than I can say about the current montearization ...
