The Mind Of OverlordTomala

I did my part yesterday

Last night while I was in costume I went out to get some v8 juice and some iced tea (I was pretty warm), and finally found a nice place to sit at in one of the parks so I could grab a sip of tea and this kid starts talking to me. I’d wager that he was about 14 or so. He asked me how my trick or treating was going… Told him that I went to some weird house where they were giving out big v8 bottles. What was weird was that he wanted me to give him directions. So I pointed at one of the local churches where I saw 3 people (one of them being a pastor) and said “That dude is handing them out”. Then I left. Wouldn’t want him to come find me afterwards.

Another weird thing was that someone actually recognized my costume. There were some high schoolers dressed in homestuck troll garb and one of them rode a bike up to me because they saw my horns. Needless to say I was surprised people in this small town even know what homestuck is.

Weekend Open Thread

Yesterday was a cold, boring day. I mostly played around with some Doom mods I found (one of them being Brutal Doom), and made some nice Italian sauces to go with some pasta. Oh, and the tedious task of organizing my recorded files and removing things that were no longer needed. I freed up almost an entire 1 TB hard drive so I think I’m headed in a good direction. 🙂

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I’m gonna sleep and prepare for my work adventures. I’ll at least have some fine food to go with my hour of entertainment.

I live another day.

Today proved to be one of those days where I was glad I charged my laptop before leaving today. All these people charging their lightweight tablets and netbooks with maybe one regular laptop. I surfed the web and decided to play a little Q3A. The rest of it was boring. I came home, played a bit of The Stanley Parable, then ate some burritos and decided to sew buttons back on to some pants and one coat while listening to some metal. Nothing like some HEAVY METAL SEWING!!!! OOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Then I decided to kick it back in Linux for awhile since I didn’t really plan to do much else for the evening. I’m updating the laptop since almost every game on it is seriously out of date. That way tomorrow I’ll have larger selection of things to freak people out with in the cafe.

Oh, and TGIF!

You Can’t Do That On XBox! “TF2 Hallowen Special”

Boring day

Nothing much happened at work. Didn’t play anything during my lunch break or even when I got home. I mainly went into Fedora and installed video editing software to experiment, just to see how it works. If I have anything to work on under the Linux side I’d like to be ready at the very least. I’m already setup for podcasting in mumble. I shouldn’t have any issues editing the audio with Audacity. I’m finding myself in Linux more these days for the usual stuff like TF2, web surfing and a few other games, and going over to Windows to use other things that I don’t have access to under Linux yet. Like my creative suite, XFi, games that haven’t been ported yet, SFM etc.

I also customized my xfce desktop to my liking. Made it aero like (transparency). That was one nice thing I liked in Win 7 was aero. Muuuch better than it’s Vista counterpart. But yes, now I have transparency on all of the things. w00t!

I was going to release my video tonight, but I’ll wait until tomorrow night when I boot into Win 7.

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…
