Last night I actually had a good evening at work. Came home and tried a new soap made of natural oils and sandalwood. Made a sweet rolled Japanese omelet and finished off the rest of my imitation crab with some sushi rice.
Last night Ivan_Fookinov and I were trying to play a serious round of Left 4 Dead 2 when a couple of n00bs came in. We were nice to them, hell everyone has to start somewhere. But I knew it was going to be a long campaign when the first question was “How do i pick up things?”. Things went rather well, at least until the finale came. Everyone got raped. This is why you either train in singleplayer before a match or with a friend. Oh well, Yutram came in and it turned into a total admin match. Between him and I gnomes were everywhere, tanks and witches ran rampant, Francis chargers were there to rape, the Nick Hunters were bouncing in the special gravity. It was all good fun.
>Arts, farts and crafts.
I haven’t blogged about arts and crafts in awhile. So I thought I’d share this.
Princess Barbie gave it to me a long time ago. It didn’t have anything around the V-Neck so I added the charms by hand, some with glue and some with some basic hand sewing.
The blue bead is a bunny (sewn when I was 17). It seemed like a good idea at the time. In a way it was like sewing the past onto clothing.
>We’re back!
Ladies and Gentlemen!
Not only are our usual servers back up, but we have more of them than before with space to spare! We have:
Left 4 Dead 1
Left 4 Dead 2
Team Fortress 2
Half Life 2 Deathmatch
The servers are modded, but modifications can only be seen when revealed by an admin. Even funnier an admin doesn’t have to be in game to screw with you (the console is my friend). Admins are:
Tomala
BAD
Yutram
Hoikas
Ivan_Fookinov
The forum is up (though a bit buggy at the index page) and the servers are set to pubic errrrr I mean public! No need to be a slacker to play. All non asshats are welcome. 😀
Have fun and enjoy!
>Update regarding the L4D2 server.
New update for the Left 4 Dead 2 server. It didn’t fix the problem, but now it sends the dmp file off to valve when it fails.
>First post of the new year
I’ve been meaning to get around to this, but you know… Not much to write about. Things are going alright with me, etc.
New years eve was great, I didn’t have to work at all. And even better I didn’t have to be in until 4:00 the next day! There was much booze and snackage to go around. My new years resolution is the same one I do every year, don’t make one.
I decided to pull out the ol bamboo steamer tonight for an experiment. Grape leaves with a spicy rice stuffing. That should go nicely with my tension tamer tea. I like drinking that when I’m not feeling right.
We had a little surprise this evening. The hot water valve for the washer decided to spurt out. Luckily it was caught before a flood could happen. It was just a largeish puddle by the time I got down there to take the stuff out.
>Salsa and Explosions!
Today I didn’t really feel like doing much, other than playing in the kitchen. Made a nice omelet with spinach, onion, turkey bacon and colby jack cheese. Then some mango peach salsa and a regular fresh salsa. I’m a fiend for salsa and wanted to try making a couple of recipes from a cookbook. Turned out pretty nice!
Other than that it was a real calm day. Too calm in fact. So I decided to find more evil games to play so I can talk about how evil they are and why my community shouldn’t play them. For example, the HL2 beta. Yes… After a long search I came passed files from HL2 Source Engine 2 Build 4. And man… The stuff they left out was interesting, especially the jetski and the headcrab mommy. I’ll post pictures another time. But yeah, so many fun things like old dialogue and npc’s were fun to watch and listen to. These adventures may keep me busy for quite sometime, and who knows? I might even get clues as to what might pop up in HL2E3.
