Neoplan Tourliner v2 Bus Mod

I did capture some min of Neoplan Tourliner v2 Bus Mod for ETS2. This bus mod can be found here
As far I've seen this is most beautiful bus mod that has been made, the color combination and skin is superb. Too bad the missing rear wheel can not be added in service station maybe it's bug. Since the mod file is password protected it can not be fixed. Overall it's the best looking Bus mod for Euro Truck Simulator 2 game. Some other bugs it have it can not carry and attach trailers. It works ok it was just those bugs.

3dartpol.com domain I have finally registered

I'm happy to announce I have finally registered and own the com domain www.3dartpol.com
3dartpol.nl domain works before as normal just visitors that type 3dartpol.com will be automatic redirected to nl.
The reason that I could not register the com domain many year ago was because it was taken and was not available at that time.

My website visitor have no need to change anything for those that want to type 3dartpol.com or 3dartpol.nl both will work the same. I pay for both domain's every year and will do my best to keep the site running under upcoming many years.

Karate Master KDB game review

Karate is one of my favorite sport as i have experience and trained karate OSU . It's sad that there is not many karate game created related to the real sport. I have tested the new karate game "Karate Master Knock Down Blow", is an explosive fighting game of full contact Karate (Kakuto Karate), made by developer Crian Soft © 2011 . It's on GamersGate but avoid to buy it because of DRM and serial problem. Since the game got free at developer site www.criansoft.com you can download it there it's only one 69MB zip file.

I did test the game the install went fast, there is not many option in main menu for setting you can not change resolution also remember to not forget to set up your keyboard keys before you play if you have not any gamepad. The game have some training mini games some sort of "Dojo" with stage like ring & tournament fight. At the main menu it's has the game mode "Versus". fight vs cpu. The animation is somehow slow and clumsy but the game mechanic and with many features is not bad. As far i know only this game and "The Karate Tournament" that can come close the real karate sport for it's real movement and rules, japan name of the karate technique , etc. The game have some other features like High level Techniques: They must be first learned in the "Waza", within the "Dojo". However they are available in the mode "Versus". Other feature are: High level Techniques, Block,  Block with counterattack, Sprint / Dodge, etc... There is many other feature only way is to play it and explore it. The game PDF manual can be downloaded at developer site.

Overall my score: 3 of 5

Summary:
The Advantage +
- Many Combos and counterattack, Sprint / Dodge moves
- The Dojo tutorials and mini games
- In "Versus". fight vs cpu you can try all combos

The Disadvantage -
- Limited days left only 2 try in Dojo
- Save and Load is not done well
- After a fight is finished no option for player to retry it go to main menu
- No option to change resolution
