French Metal ftw.
Do ghosts play Portal?

Lets face it. Most of us who have played the original portal know all of the memes attached to the game and the series in general. “The Cake is a lie” being one of the oldest jokes in the book at this point. Not these S.P.O.O.K’s in Oklahoma though! Local news station KJRH has a special report that will probably make you laugh a bit if you’ve played the game.
Of course, at this point the video has gone viral (if you can’t tell by looking at the comments) and the criticism of the entire internet has reached their eyes. They responded on their facebook page with this:
In a response to our story on KJRH, we’ve been labeled ” clueless ghost hunters” by Jason Joe Wayne Blevins …personally, I take no offense, as he is focused only on one thing, the chalk board. At NO TIME did I or any member of my team make any claims as to a paranormal cause, only that the time and placement of this phrase on the chalk board were unusual. It’s sad, that these few individuals that throw their negative comments about my team around do not do the countless hours of evidence review, research, and time spent on sites. If this individual can do it better, or anyone else can do it better, get out there and DO IT.
It gets better! They also claim that the chalk board message was written two years before the release of Portal. Clearly it’s the ghost of GabeN that is at fault for all of these lulz.
“Yes, we’re familiar with both the game and the phrase… our question’s about the chalkboard are : why was it written there? What did they mean by it? And the fact that it was written 2 years before the game ” Portal” was released is interesting as well,”
Oh well… It’s a good way to publicize your service at least! I imagine GLaDOS is having a good laugh about this.
Still addicted to Scream Fortress.
For the last few years I’ve realy been addicted to the TF2 Halloween event. Especially with all the swag I manage to find when I go trick or treating on other servers. My inventory has expanded quite a bit since starting. I have all the way until the 11th and I’ve been taking breaks in between. Something tells me my hours on TF2 will go up tremendously.
I also worked on my server a bit. I added some plugins that interested me. Such as disabling any team killing until a boss monster has been defeated, the option to become a skeleton if you’re a sniper, the option to move to other teams which I still need to play with a bit when I’m alone on the server, and I can’t remember what else. I have the server currently setup as a Halloween themed server on quickplay, hopefully I’ll get enough traffic so that people can get gifts. I’m getting sick of landing on servers where people try to kill each other during boss fights. Hopefully if anyone lands on my server they like the no pinion, no premium options that I have too.
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.
Happy Halloween!
It’s that time of the year again, my favorite holiday arrives where I get to dress as freaky as I want. Here’s a pic:
A Strange Discovery
I upgraded my TF2 server for the halloween event and found out that something strange happened to the Monoculus monster.
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!
