Went for a walk today. In sunlight! :O It was a bit brisk but at least it was sunny. Got all my clothes and cosmetics laid out for the week. Been drinking some nice red loose leaf chai, listening to ACDC and writing stuff up for more YouTube pr0nz.
I haven’t put up my work schedule on the calendar yet because this week is going to be a little all over the place. They have been rearranging the schedules lately and from day to day I literally have no idea when I’ll be working.
Well, for about a week anyway. I decided to make one so that I could access pictures to torture a certain tumblr whore friend of mine. Now that I have one I’m thinking I might use it for syndicating my videos, and random SFM pictures that I’d like to share that might be for steam, like maybe works in progress for videos, or nonsensical things like this:
I remember back in 2006 when my friend Yutram shared random videos from a Source modification called Garrys Mod. Thanks to him and another friend BAD I would later on not only buy my own copy of Orange Box and Garrys Mod, but would be completely absorbed into said universes. ICTON made a new gmod machinima recently with some old and new mixed in, and I have to say they haven’t lost their touch at all.
Calling it an early night tonight since I’m going in early for work later today. I did take the time to make a nice bowl of mango salsa and test out big picture on the big screen TV. Everything went with flying colors! I even got out my controller and played a few games using it (like Fez, Mortal Kombat and a few others).
When I got home from work we even kinda did a family TV night. Watched some adult swim stuffs from their website. Looked perfect. So far this HTPC idea is working quite nicely. I might have to invest in a wireless controller just so I can chillax on the couch and pretend I’m on an XBox… only like 100 times more awesome.
We’re building a family entertainment PC to store movies, videos and games. Tonight I streamed games from my desktop to it and maaaan it was awesome. It ran as if the games were installed on the HTPC directly. I’ll post more details about it later. I have many more experiments to run on it. I’m already drooling at the thought of playing TF2 in the living room on a big screen. Good luck doing that on a console…
I participated in a trivia party at a relay for life fundraiser. Unfortunately our team didn’t win, but at least we weren’t in last place! Oddly enough there was a team that I recognized as being a bunch of the conspiracy theorists that I see almost everyday. Oddly enough they came in last.
After that I came home and finished up part 1 of Bioshock Infinite’s Burial At Sea. Man was it trippy… Can’t wait for part 2 to come out! Oh, and on another note I’ll be releasing a couple videos soon. One will be a review and the other will be a sorta lets play of Fez. I’ve noticed that whenever I play a single player game of some kind I tend to talk about what I’m doing out loud, or just make stupid remarks. This happened when I played the first Bioshock. My friends thought I was filming at the time but I never did because I figured there was no point to it. Since then I’ve had some encouragement from various people to try it at least once. And by try I mean just do what I always do, but leave FRAPS running. I’ve added the days I’ll be releasing both to my event calendar.
The world is about to see how annoying I am outside of the reviewing realm.
Didn’t feel very good yesterday, still feeling kinda blah. I guess I’ll hold off on my plans until Friday.
