I like your changes so far, the background is looking better and as Craig mentioned, websites such as SubtlePatterns offer great, free backgrounds.
 
I definitely prefer a solid colour or even a subtle texture for the slideshow description; although I would probably go with a slightly lighter shade of blue if you plan on sticking with a solid colour.
 
I would also change the colour of the navigation links from red to blue in order to maintain your colour scheme.

Am I missing something? I don't see any change in the colour of text and the background of the polygon is still a dark shade of blue :|
 
Haha, writing in English is good practice

I really think you should drop the background image, it over powers the website.
background images are a little dates
try this out

some really subtle patterns you can just repeat over your background, keep your imagery for content.
 
I think the problem with the imagery your using for backgrounds and as pointed out by alluziion in the heading slider is that it is not good imagery, evn though you didnt design it and its based on a game, it just doesnt look good, and i think the end result of that will ruin your website design.

It's definitely an improvement! I would personally still go for something more subtle but if you like the one you have now then you could keep it, it's still quite "busy".
 
EDIT: I don't like what you've done by adding the image to slide description area.

I like your idea with the blue sky, occasional cloud and trees at the bottom, it would be much more subtle than what you currently have; if you did this, then I'd probably do the wrapper in dirt-brown.
 
My other idea was basically doing a much larger version of this...
 

 
Where the brown dirt area is repeated downwards to make it longer whilst the grass stays at the very top.#
 
However, if you use this image in any way, you should contact the owner and ask for their permission; or you could try and create your own.

Thanks for introducing yourself.
 
That's cool, I was considering joining the UK Royal Marines as an officer but was persuaded by my partner to go to University instead lol.
 
It's definitely a good attempt for your first website and you've made a good decision to use a CMS to construct it as it's going to require frequent updating and by doing so you could always give a second user admin privileges if the workload becomes difficult to manage.
 
I've played both Terraria and Minecraft and seeing as though you're using those as your background and they both share the same blue/green/brown colour scheme, I would use those colours as your theme; however, blue and green aren't a very good combination so I'd focus more on brown + blue OR green. The only other option would be to change your background image... maybe the sort of brown and green design from the Minecraft logo? that means that the background would be a darker shade of brown which would mean that your actual website would juxtapose better in terms of contrast.
 
The rest seems okay and you seem to have a decent plan of what you're going to do but I would definitely decide on a colour scheme before advancing just so you don't have to return on the work you've already done.

I would ditch the background completely in favour of either a plain background or something with a really subtle pattern.

It does annoy me when people come to the forum without even I introducing themselves and then immediately ask for help on their websites but unlike some others who do this, you did ask reasonably rather than the usual sort of "Here's my website; make it better" and we do need this community to grow to flourish so...
 
I'm unable to view it on a co outer at the moment because my University network is down (again -.-) so this quick review is viewed on my iPad.
 
I can see some sort of pixelated text at the top of the background image "..... Excalibur?" not sure what that's all about (your gaming alias maybe?) but it looks unprofessional.
 
The logo definitely needs work but you're already aware of that.
 
The slider and navigation bar is okay.
 
The navigation menu on the left Is a bit dull and there's tonnes of white space to right of it but I'm assuming that your content will be inserted there.
 
The "Recent comments" section in the footer exposes HTML image tags – are these subject titles or a small portion of the comment?
 
I'll have a second look when I can access it on a desktop computer.
