Bringing forth another Open Thread

I went to work on my video project for Halloween and decided meh, too tired… So I decided to boot back to the Fedora side and test out some games. I tried to play Painkiller Hell and Damnation but didn’t get very far due to the program freezing the entire system. So I ended up playing psychonauts instead which ran smoothly.

I also recorded some stuff from a mumble discussion tonight. Sometime in the near future I’ll publicize a horrible fanfic reading. Each chapter will be it’s own episode. I’m thinking of hosting it on this blog and on my youtube channel. The fanfic is called “It’s My Life!” and it’s a Portal 2 fanfic that rivals My Immortal (although we pretty much agreed that it’s better than My Immortal or hell, even The Room!) and it’s full of all kinds of confusing details, grammar and well… I’ll save it for release.

Oh, and to wrap things up I got a smoothie, kicked back and went to town countertrolling some insufferable prick in one of the chats I’m a mod of. I’ve put it on my forum for those who are interested in reading it. Lets just say he was too easy…

Counter Strike Korea: You can win a pig!?

This is a cross post from a blog that I help co-author. To read it over there click this link, if not just read on.

Seriously. I found this to be all too strange. In the Korean version of Counter Strike called Counter Strike Online 2 (licensed by Valve and developed by Nexon Korea with Valve’s Source Engine) you can play in a new mode called Pig Mode. Which looks something like this:

To promote this new gamemode, Nexon Korea is selecting five people at random who share the mode’s trailer on various social media websites. The five people who win will receive a pig. Not a pig model, but an actual live pig. O_o

Early Morning Open Thread. All of the things.

So, yesterday (Sunday) was my day off and they tried to get me to come in and work at the last minute because they didn’t schedule enough people. I laughed and declined because by the time I heard the news it was too late. I was up late anyway trying to figure out why Flash Player wasn’t working properly… it didn’t install even though I told it to. So I manually placed the files in the proper places, then added a symbolic link for so that it would work properly in Seamonkey… meh.

I didn’t really do much this afternoon aside from go on a total health binge. Made sushi, more fruit smoothies (with a little bit of matcha added), drank tomato and cranberry juices. I also prepared a nice lunch tomorrow with the leftover sushi rice, surimi and vegetables. I still have some leftover, I’ll probably fill my bento box with Italian sushi tomorrow (sounds weird… I’ll explain later).

On another note I decided to check out gzdoom tonight. I’ve been having fun with vavoom under Linux and liked the fact that I could strafe and look around like in a regular FPS. So I did some reading and found gzdoom under windows. Plays like a regular FPS while still having that classic feel to it. I might have to dig for my old collection of WADS from way back when. People still build them too from what I understand. Gotta love customization. 😀 Might have to do some filming with those. Nothing made me laugh like Barney the purple dinosaur gnawing you to death. Ah, fun memories from my childhood.

I seem to get the interesting neighbors

About a year or so ago I had a strange neighbor who lived next door to me. She kept getting drunk and banging herself against walls every now and again. To the point that her family fled the building and we ended up calling the cops on her. Now it’s a year later, new neighbors, but it’s a guy this time…

Normally he plays loud music way passed local curfew around here, but last night when I got home from work he had his music even louder than usual while yelling vulgarities, and something about “fucking up someones van”. Fortunately he passed out at some point. His girlfriend never came home either, wonder if something happened. Either way I don’t get a positive impression about the guy at all.

So… I had a dream about The Tomala Parable

Fortunately it was fragmented like the actual game. I hardly remember any of it. On an even brighter note my new DAC arrived! I have it running under Linux perfectly. I played TF2 a bit ago and everyone could hear me clearer than ever. Muuuch better than the old one. Perhaps this was a sign to get something better for myself.

Source Overdose.

I spent most of my time tonight after work playing The Stanley Parable. God that game is addictive! So many endings, and beginnings! They had to add beginnings to the mix. I also added the assets to SFM perfectly, as well as the ones for the demo and Blade Symphony. Now I have more maps/props for future projects.

After mentioning pulling The Stanley Parable assets into SFM my friends told me I should make “The Tomala Parable”. I’m not entirely sure how that would work or what it would entail, but it would probably be really really horrible.

Early Morning Open Thread

Well, my weekend is over now. I should be sleeping but you know.. I get into SFM/Adobe and I go forever. I’ll work on my video tomorrow night prolly. Getting back into the groove of making videos and setting them aside in my spare time. By the looks of my schedule for this week and next week I’ll have a lot of spare time.

Oh well, it’ll help me catch up a bit.
