TGIF
I call foul.
Tonight one of my coworkers couldn’t understand why I like playing L4D1 or 2. Why? Because he said they were boring, predictable, and linear. Of course he does play this on an XBox, so I told said “Well it would be if you had to play the same maps over and over again”. Completely went over his head. Doesn’t seem to understand the concept of custom campaigns. Of course he says those aren’t any better. He would know this how?
Sunday Morning Open Thread
Woke up all warm yesterday and feeling alright. Always nice to wake up in the afternoon not feeling groggy. Work was rather slow. In fact I got off ten minutes early tonight and picked up a few supplies (root beer, cheese etc). Then tonight I blew some things up in TF2. Item server seemed to be down but still had access to my selected weapons. Better than vanilla at least.
Friday Morning Open Thread
Today I got rid of the errors on the forum. Next mission will be updating it. But in the meantime I goofed off more in TF2 tonight, chatted with the regular friends and even some others I haven’t heard from in awhile! I checked the mail and found I was excused from jury duty so overall it was a carefree day! No Black Friday for me thanks. I’ll stick to buying my gifts for everyone online. You won’t get trampled, peppersprayed or held at gunpoint… Seriously it seems to get more insane each year. It either needs to be rethought or dismissed entirely.
So now I’m sitting here enjoying some cherryberry green tea and getting ready to hit the rack.
Hope you had a happy spanksgiving
I’m stuffed. We had a good thanksgiving spread just like last year. Spent the day home enjoying my day off staying out of the cold. Played a bit of TF2 and upgraded my mumble client. Doing so fixed my problem with premiere pro. Every time I launched premiere while mumble ran the application would crash. All the other adobe programs would work, but something with premiere and mumble just didn’t get along. Updating fixed that w00t!
Enjoying my personal break.
Good thing I decided to take the break from producing episodes. Work has been more demanding lately. I got called in 3 hours after going to sleep yesterday. I still ended up going in at a proper hour (3pm) so I can’t complain too much.
Been playing a lot of TF2, in fact I think I capped the item system (not that I play just to get items or anything) but I still had a bunch of fun. I’m still trying to figure out how to get TF2 replays working on the server. So far http or ftp seem to be a no go at this point. I’ll continue studying that tomorrow if I have time, and if not there is always my weekend.
Also to anyone who goes to the forum: If you can’t get to there we may be experiencing either be experiencing a power outage or the internet may be down for whatever reason. We’re in the middle of a hellish storm right now with winds currently at 65mph. I’m honestly surprised that I haven’t lost the connection at all tonight. Hopefully I’ll be just as lucky tomorrow/earlier today.
YCDTOXB Season finale
The final episode of the first season can be found here.
Already working on season 2 somewhat. I’ll post updates as needed. Podcasts will still be released in the meantime.
Then it was a soup day
Yesterday and today I’ve been enjoying a nice Italian style soup I made using ham, white kidney beans, cut spaghetti and vegetables. Quite good, I made it from hand. Had some cocoa with it and a couple pieces of toast.
Feels exactly like summer…
Early Morning Open Thread
Well, tonight I finished putting together my season finale. It’ll be nothing entirely special. After I release that I can focus on collecting all kinds of footage to use for the next season (which will be given a date eventually) and in the meantime goof off a bit. I even finished the intro for season 2 (not much of a hiatus, but I’ve never really been one for letting my brain rot. Besides, if I stop using them long enough I’ll forget how to do it.
Up late and up to no good.
Tonight I wrote the script for the season finale of You Can’t Do That On XBox. It’s nothing special. I’ve decided that if I made it to about 20 episodes I would take a break and put together more footage as well as make a new intro in after effects for the new season.
I’m already planning a new direction for the next season. It’ll be the same as now, random nonsense and reviews. But there will be a new story arc from the point of the pre sphere version of my character.
After writing the script out and getting what I need for the review (sounds, visuals etc) I decided to play some TF2. That game is addictive… lol
