Halloween Morning Open Thread

I’ve been gathering all kinds of cursed items, costume pieces and hats. Hell I even got a regular hat to drop for the pyro! I also decided to run some server experiments tonight, added some new stuff that you can see on my Steam friend wall. That was the grand majority of my day off was just playing and goofing around. I even got ninja gifted a game by Bongmaster.

I will get you back for this…

The TF2 halloween event is still awesome.

Man, I am just LOVING this years TF2 event! Laughed my ass off on a server where we tried to defeat Merasmus. Of course there were some trolls there, plus people were being total assholes to 12 year olds who were actually being polite (surprisingly), needless to say I didn’t use my mic. I wanted some good loot. Btw I’m digging how they did gifts this year. Instead of a bunch of people hunting for one gift or greifing them out of a gift, each person is randomly selected to find it themselves. I managed to get a bunch of spells and cursed items. By the end of the night I even crafted a zombie soldier and sniper. Love the dialogue with them by the way.

Early Morning Open Thread

Not much to report. Work was calm compared to yesterday. Yesterday it was an absolute mess due to a sale we had. I feel much more wordy this evening. Which by the way had nothing to do with work or even videos, in fact videos have been a fun escape if anything. I actually find it therapeutic to create something and unleash it upon the world to see. In a strange psychotic way I see it as a form of story art. And I am a person that has always liked the idea of taking my dreams and making them real.

I won’t say why I had the words knocked out of me, and hopefully the cause of it won’t happen again. If it does… Lets just say I’m going to party like it’s 2004 all over again. Only it won’t be a party.

So, what’s the first thing I have to do when I get home?

Server updates…
Sourcemod and metamod updates for TF2… Newest ones didn’t work, then I saw the new dev branch, that seems to work ok.

Work was busy but not too hectic, and I mostly just relaxed the rest of the night. I think the next video I’ll be doing will be that vlog I keep putting off.
