Happy Thanksgiving! Thank god it’s not Black Friday

Worked a small shift today. It wasn’t crazy busy though I did get quite a few surges from time to time. It was mostly people window shopping for Black Friday. Thank god I won’t be participating in that. Not working, not shopping. I refuse to partake in anything Black Friday unless it’s online. You can’t get trampled on the internet, though you might bring websites down in large surges. 😛

Speaking of Black Friday I was catching up on my RSS feeds and came across this video. Made me thankful that I live in a small town. Seriously this looks like something out of Left 4 Dead 2:

I loved the comments for that video. I agree that this sort of thing makes us look horrible. We act like a bunch of fucking savages fighting for so called “good deals”. Trampling and shoving each other because the device/appliance/scarf/whatever has much more value than the person you knocked over for it. We shouldn’t be allowed to encourage this kind of behavior. Seriously if you’re the kind of person to behave like that I hope someone’s stiletto pierces your lung. It’s the fucking hunger games.

Oh well… Enough ranting. We all know that most corporations over here are too busy rubbing money on their tender nipples to give a flying fuck. I might as well enjoy this Thanksgiving special. I feel old for watching it. I remember when it was brand new. 🙂 Good ol MST3K:

Early Morning Open Thread

I’m a little surprised. I built a Mann vs Machine server for TF2 and I’ve been getting round the clock use on it. Had it and one of the Serious Sam 3 servers going at the same time without breaking a sweat. I added a plugin that sets reserved slots for admins. I haven’t tested it yet though. Might test it when I get off work if anyone is on (assuming I have any time).

Probably won’t be playing much until Thanksgiving. I have a couple earlyish shifts that I’ll be working. Good news is I won’t be working on Black Friday so that way my sanity will still be in tact.

Sunday Morning Open Thread

I’m all rested and refreshed for tomorrow. I didn’t really do much for my weekend other than lounge. I did watch Day Of The Doctor. Before that I did a little bit of gmod which I haven’t done in awhile. Played on a server with a couple of friends then when it shut down I noticed people were on my server. So I went in and my friend Bong followed me. We both scared off the 5 people that were on there just running around and not doing anything strange other than being us. Lots of homestuck people there. It’s cool watching people play around as cartoon characters.

Then I went over to the Linux side to test Serious Sam 3 with the new Linux Kernal. Still needs improvement. It’s a little bit better but when I go through shrubbery the lag is terrible.

Well. Time to go off and have weird dreams. I had one the other night that I didn’t think I would make into a movie because of how bizarre it was… but I’m finding some materials that might help me along with it. This one requires a script with a few people I know, and I know of at least one of them that I hardly ever see anymore. And to be honest they are busy with real life and their own set of friends. I would feel bad asking them for help because frankly it wouldn’t be worth it. So that dream probably won’t become a reality (and as bizarre as it is that might be a good thing).

Back from falling off the face of the earth

Yeah… I didn’t realize it until this morning but I haven’t really been online anywhere. I haven’t been blogging, I haven’t been chatting and I haven’t really been gaming either (unless it’s on my lunch break). I’ve been extremely sucked into an SFM project and tonight I’ll at least read up on some stuff before I get back to it. My weekend is coming up too so I’ll be sure to make up for lost time.

Weekend Open Thread

Well I got a good portion of my to do list finished. I even managed to get my christmas shopping done (thank you internetz). I also got some more projects done, audio recorded, and even fiddled around with Windows 7. I changed the login picture and even the splash screen just for lulz. Nothing like seeing a trollface with the words “Starting Windoze” under it. If you’re feeling adventurous you could always give this program a go. Just remember to backup your original files and create a restore point.

I decided to play some games too. Did some Toki Tori and a little bit of the Painkiller series. Good fun all around. Think I’ll do some TF2 tomorrow. There are some new maps I’m going to add to the server for some winter fun.
