Starting The Weekend By Going Postal

I was in a mood for something stupid this evening, some mindless mayhem to kick off the weekend. So, I scanned through my seemingly infinite library of entertainment, and Postal 4 won my undivided attention. There I went, wandering the deserts of Arizona in a quest for ridiculous amusement, and I was not disappointed by my findings.

The Postal games are basically an over the top comedically horrible open world exploration game, and it’s so bad that it’s good. It’s an open world game featuring innuendos and crude humour from start to finish.

Played for a little over an hour before calling it quits. It was pretty much what I expected in terms of quality (as evidenced in the top left of the screenshots). It’s quite an interesting universe, somehow able to be both beautiful and ugly at the same time.

Even the game knows it can go as low as buttsauce!

Aaaaaaand now it’s the perfect game.

How To Irritate People: Wear a Mask AND Colour Coordinate

I was minding my own business one day (no really I was!) during my lunch break. While browsing the candy section I could overhear a couple getting triggered about people who colour coordinate their masks with their outfits… which I’ve been doing. We’re supposed to be lifting the mask mandate in my state soon, but I plan on wearing mine still. Aside from the obvious it does help my allergies, and I haven’t had a cold in a couple years. In light of that I’ve been collecting all kinds of masks, ranging to game themed to just patterns and solids. This week has been a Mortal Kombat mask themed week, and tomorrow I’ll finish it off with a Dragon Mask.

Perhaps a mask fashion show is in order. 😛

Creative Warmth

I forgot that I had this particular scene to work on before commencing what I call: “Operation Batman Diary”. Fortunately it’s small; I’ll probably have it ready to render tomorrow. I was kind of wanting to render it tonight to keep the room warm; Once again we’re experiencing the “Coldest Winter Ever™” and this would have been nice to warm to sleep.

Oh well… It’s just kindling for tomorrow night I guess. 😛

Mummy Killed Him With A Rolling Pin

Another weekend has come and gone. I made sure to enjoy some good food, played a few games and stayed warm on these cold winter mornings. Got a bit more animation done on the current project. I just need to finish one more SFM file and I’ll be able to compile a video! Yes! A video that no one will see until autumn hits.

Still makes for a creepy shot.

The Beatings Will Continue Until The Weekend Starts

Looking forward to beating the weekend into submission, after work tomorrow. I was going to finish up the servers tonight, but my brain insisted on finishing this demented nightmare of a scene. This has been fun enough to work on that I might consider playing around a bit more with it over the weekend, at least as far as background dressing, lighting, etc.

Conquering My Digital Realms

Some progress was made on the TF2 servers! I finally found time to copy over libcurl from my old server to do some testing, and I’m happy to say it works! I’ve started copying the remainder of the server files over. Hoping to finish up in a day or two. In other news I have more nightmare fuel:

Still on schedule for October. 😀

The SFM Diaries: Brainrats Edition

I made more video progress this evening! Sadly I can’t share the particular shot I’m working on… it’s disturbing enough that I want to keep it under wraps until the proper day of deployment. I showed it to one of my friends, and they referred to it as “cursed”. Not an entirely wrong assessment. I can, however, share a shot from a different scene that I was working on last night.

Far more tame compared to what I’m currently working on.
