The Mind Of OverlordTomala

This weeks co author!

Due to Adam (Hoikas’s) busy schedule he was unable to co author this week. Oh well, there’s always next time!

This weeks co author helped me get taken off of syndication once before, please welcome moderator of the Guild Wars, Online worlds and Star Trek forum, good friend and arch rival Dreaminggirl!!!

The next position for co author is open to anyone. If no one is interested then that will be a week where I go solo.

Late Night Open Thread

Here’s a good story folks,

 

A cashier called me to grab some D batteries for a customer. It’s not even my job but I did it anyway. Anyway I grabbed them and handed them to the cashier. “Those aren’t D batteries!” she and the customer said. I pointed out to them that yes they are D batteries, you can tell because they say so on the packaging… “Ohhh I need this battery!”. So I go get it “Here are your 9 volt batteries maam…”. Gawd, not even the cashier knew…

 

Other than that it was an average busy Friday evening. I came home and worked on another intro that I’ll be using for my Public Service Announcements. I was inspired by a dream that I had last night. For some reason I was in this castle walking on floating platforms making my way to a chair with 2 guards claiming to be my servants standing next to it. I honestly have no clue how that dream came to be.

Open Thread

Spent a good portion of the night trying to fix SourceSDK. Finally got it up and running with a couple other applications. I’m back in business for animating again.

I also played a bit of TF2 tonight. System handles it very well at the highest settings. It’s nice being able to film at high settings with next to no lag with FRAPS.

Not a good way to end the night.

Last night I was in a middle of The Sacrifice in Left 4 Dead 2 when all of a sudden my game locks up, followed by a black screen. When I came back in I had to verify my RAID. It rebuilt itself without fail but I’ll have to keep an eye on it…

On the bright side I went downstairs and watched the rest of the game unfold via the server console. It seems an asshat took my place because everyone started shooting each other. So I issued a threat over console and suddenly there were crickets…
