Well... Sure It's Nice Being Solitary

Hulloes there!

It's Angga here. Or you may call me PJ, or Pujangga.

Actually, my name is Angga Cahyadi Santoso.

If you do know about the history in Oblivion's screenshooting, particularly where I used to hang out in the main hub, you will probably notice that I and many fellow Shooters have resorted back to Oblivion-related forums. Some others post blogs on their own.

This does not meant that I went rogue, ragequit, Q___q, or even proclaimed I would take down an entire site, just to get noticed. Naaaah, never had any such intentions.

Creating a blog is one of my sole intention of showcasing that... I... play... Oblivion... in pretty much a wrong way.

Aye, that's it!

Oblivion is a wonderful game. It's been years since I got my Oblivion, started playing it, got stuck, joined forums, and eventually embraced myself to modding and screenshooting scenes.

My first mod is Screenshooter's Illumination. As a modder, I say that it's a wonderful mod.

Like.. *doh*.. Every modders will say that their creations are awesome, ain't it?

My mod, to be honest, was invented because I was so curious about screenshooting; how many wonderful Shooters out there could pull colourful shots.

It turned out that the shots they took were well lit, natural lighting source in the game, such as the crystals in Ayleid ruins, torches in the caves, sunlight piercing through the holes, you name it.

That's why I invented my illuminating gem, derived inspiration from other mods which also work as an artificial light sources. With these gems, you can pretty much go everywhere with dark surrounding, drop the gems, and voila! Let there be light!

Mmmkay, that's enough for my modding experience. Now onto my hobby as a screenshooter...

I take shots because... I don't know how to explain it...

How do you explain why philatelists collect stamps? Scooter mania cruises from city to city solely on his/her scooter/motorcycle? Why do some people invest in gears and equipments for airsoft gun tourneys and paintball big matches?

It's all about fun.

It's about amusing one's self. Sometimes I take shots for my own enjoyment, they turn into guilty pleasure because of the nature of my shots.

To be honest, I was despised due to my screenshooting style by some so-called 'elite artists'. They made judgment about what screenshooting was, how screenshots should be created, how artistic value should be noted, etc etc.

I saw few of his shots. It's nothing more than a bland, plain screenshots, with the HUD still active, and the character is in the center of the monitor, as if he took it straight away with that PRTSCN button when he was playing the game.

From that moment, I went to prove myself that I could do better. Up until now, this pleasure for vengeance is still carried on. It motivates me to get better in screenshooting and image-editing.

That would be all for now.

Cheerio!
