My 2 500GB HD’s for my laptop arrived today and are functioning nicely. All setup in RAID 0 and everything! Got win 7 ultimate installed on it with important updates. All I need to do is install programs on it and it’ll be ready to haul around with me. I already figured out which games I want to put on it. CS:GO, Portal 2, Serious Sams, L4D’s, TF2 (no question) and maybe a few others. The ladies are gonna learn to fear me.
My long ass replay.
I got invited to a MvM match the other night. I realized the server had replays enabled so I thought I’d see how long I would last. I never died and forgot I made the replay. No game audio I’m afraid, for some reason that part of the replay got corrupted (even in TF2). So in place of that I have TF2 music.
Open Thread
Well, today I got to try out the new steam UI along with everyone else! I can see where there might be some room for improvement, but overall I like the new features. I like looking at the friends list and seeing all the content, and looking at gaming hubs to see what everyone’s up to. Then there’s the usergroups. I played around a bit with some of them. Now the slackers group has a listing of most of what we specialize in multiplayer-wise. Then there’s the forums and subforums. I’ll use them for SNews but not so much for the regular Slackers group (since we have our own).
All about the gaming.
Today I played around in L4D2, TF2, and CS:GO. In CS:GO I did some low gravity arms race, then added some plugins to L4D2. I recorded them and might make them into a video another time. Then of course there was some TF2. Oh! There was some regular vanilla MOULa but nothing interesting happened.
BIC’s new trick! Ballpoint pens for da ladies. No strings attached!
Ladies, are you tired of being oppressed your current writing stencils? Well silence all the bitching! For there is a product for us all. ‘BIC for Her’ Ballpoint Pens
The “reviews” for this have been hilarious. But for me this one takes the cake.
I feel I must complain in the strongest terms about the sexism of this item. Where are the “For Him” pens? How can I embrace my masculinity, when there is no pen for me? Am I destined to just watch all of the women around me falling into a sparkly dream of ponies, crochet and butterflies, while I pace angrily here, unable to access the manly world of construction vehicles, barbeques, motor racing and science? I can barely adjust my crotch, I am so angry.
Make pens For Him. Strong pens. Manly pens. Pens that dress on the right. Pens with good grips for masculine hands. MANPENS!
Well, there’s always penisland.net 🙂
I do hope they have some in the future that come with a string attached. I always like pulling them out as fast as possible. That and I’m always losing mine.
I did a Serious Sam 2 Lets Play
I never thought about doing these until one night when I was playing BioShock. Yutram and Kaelis heard me saying random things in mumble, mostly making fun of either the dialogue or the characters in the game. They thought I was recording and were bummed when they found out I wasn’t. So this is another experiment.
Vacation Day 4 and onto 5
Went for a walk yesterday (weather was excellent!) and decided to take a walk down memory lane (actual place here) for a personal picnic. I ordered a nice roast beef sandvich and ate in a nice quiet wooded area in one of our local parks. Walked passed a bunch of buildings and remembered how all of those lots were nothing but fields where we would mess around in. I always loved climbing those trees with my friends, go up and read a book from the library or from home.
My processor for the super laptop arrived too. Works perfectly! Can’t wait to overclock it. It’s a core 2 duo extreme edition. I can overclock it to 3.4 (default speed is 2.8). As soon as the new HD’s and RAM get here I’ll be ready to haul that to work for a fun lunch break. Screw the other ladies tablets and iPhones at work…. I’ll pwn them all!!!
Speaking of that I played some L4D2, Serious Sam’s and even fucked around in HL2DM. I even added a new plugin to both the HL2DM and TF2 servers, and ass soon as Valve fixes the sv_downloadurl issue with CS:GO I’ll try to add it to that as well. It’s a plugin that plays welcome music or a welcome message. Much like the end round music I’ll be expanding upon what was already included in the pack. I found another plugin that plays a special sound/song for certain people. Assign a theme song to a specific person example. That requires messing around in MySQL. I would have done it tonight but had one to many to really want to mess with that sort of thing.
And finally I awoke this afternoon to find that people actually checked out my (anti)social network that I created. lololollololol.
New site features!
In case you didn’t notice, I added some extra features to the site. Friend requests, members list, profiles etc. I also added a link to the forums at the top of the site.
Still on a bit of a video hiatus, but I’ll be back eventually.
