The Mind Of OverlordTomala

Early Morning Open Thread

Tonight I decided to make some velvet corn soup. Believe it or not it’s a Chinese recipe from one of my Time magazine cookbooks. You’d never even knew I made it because I ate the entire thing.

Played an assload of games tonight. Decided to play Max Payne 3 tonight for the first time. Fun and very different from the last 2 games while somehow still keeping some of the basic mechanics (although aiming I’ll have to get used to). Played a little bit of Black Mesa: Source, and some Serious Sam 3 multiplayer. Too many games and too little time. I literally have to write out a schedule to play all these games.

Speaking of games, one I’ve been thinking of playing is Slender. I’ve seen footage of it and don’t understand what’s so scary about it. Especially when you watch it like this:

It’s so awesomely funny that I added a new plugin that plays videos from all of the not youtube sites.

Killing Floor makes it to Steam Workshop

Yep, now people can submit their mods via steam for download. If you don’t know what Killing Floor is it’s basically the British version of Left 4 Dead (with other features), and you can have up to 6 people in your squad. The game is made by Tripwire interactive and it runs on the unreal engine.

To celebrate Killing Floor becoming part of Steam Workshop, Steam is having a sale on the game.

Getting better.

One more day of work and it’ll be my weekend. I don’t think I’ll be going in if they call me. I’m going to focus on getting rid of this cold. As it was I felt pretty out of it all day. On the bright side I did get a good bit of sleep in. I’ll probably go to sleep early again tonight to get more. The benadryl has been making me feel drowsy, but it is helping my nose somewhat. Yeah, it’s stuffy now… This cold seems to be going around me in stages.

Open Thread

Been taking care of my cold. Thanks to some zicam tablets I have managed to get my throat to calm down. Now if I could get my ears to pop I’d be in good shape. I’m actually surprised I’m still awake too. I’ve been zombified the entire night and enjoying some lemon ginger tea with honey.

Working during the morning to evening reminded me why I hate mornings. The anal retentive asshats are always awake at that hour. It also didn’t help that I’ve gotten 7 hours of sleep in the last two days, so I had to seriously act like I was enjoying myself. I had this big rant planned and everything to write. But somewhere along the way I lost the muse to write it. I think I’ll save it for another day and hit the rack a bit earlier than usual.

On a happier topic I got my laptop colorized for tomorrow. I’ll probably just stay upstairs since I plan to bring a big lunch. Coconut chicken, rice and a spicy cucumber salad. With a nice green kimono top to go with the theme. 😛

So I’m on my lunch break right now…

Enjoying some soup. My throat feels a little better today, been shoving cough drops down all day long. Had my shift changed for tomorrow so that I won’t have to work the hell that is the shoe dept. The downside is that I have to get up earlier but, I’d rather do that than work shoes. So I probably won’t be around much tonight.

So anyway I’m in the usual area where I take my lunch, updating my steam games on free wifi and listening to my friends in mumble.

Work has been pretty quiet tonight, should be pleasant the rest of the evening.

I hope it isn’t a cold.

Hopefully I only scratched my throat on something, it’s very sore today. Didn’t really notice it until I woke up half way through my sleep to use the bathroom. I don’t have a fever, but I do feel a tired still (though that could also be the lack of sun I’ve been getting due to this AWESOME summer). So I’ve been doing what I usually do when I have a sore throat. Pour down lots of lemon tea and honey.
