>Balance has been restored.

I’ve had the last two days off. And it feels goooooood. Tomorrow I don’t have to be in till 6pm. It’s great to feel relaxed again. In fact I’ve started having dreams again.

My voice has finally started clearing up, although I’m still coughing. But at least I finally got my narration recorded for my review.

>Fun with strangers.

The following is a chatlog from a steam chatroom. I get this question all the time. This is how I deal with it.

Some people like to shout their gender out for everyone to know, others try to make people think they’re something they’re not. Me? I won’t hide, but I’ll have fun in the meantime. This guy could have easily gone to my steam profile and found my YouTube and blog. That info alone could have told him.

I’ve been hacking up a storm the last few days (relax it isn’t Uru hax). I can’t tell if it’s a cold or allergies. On the bright side I’m starting to feel better, though the weather hasn’t been much of a help as it’s gotten back to beng cold after 2 days of sunshine. At least I’m keeping warmer now since I’ve been holding down my indoor jobs.

I was going to work on narration for my next video. But my allergies pissed on the chance to do that…

>Eat, sleep, and breathing 3D animation.

You know you’re addicted to 3D animating when you dream about animating in your sleep. Yesterday I made another animation and combined it with an env_shake command in Source using Gmod. It produced a successful result. I’m amazed that I finally figured it out. Now I don’t have to just use Valve default animations. Which can get old after awhile.

>You have said the forbidden word, and in your foolishness you have unleased the kraken.

There was an old thread revival today by Ken Telinome, who said the evil forbidden cancerous words that are “AdminKI” and “UU”.

Source: http://mystonline.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=351884#351884

Player events are all we have now. Back in UU, with the Admins having AdminKIs, “immersion” was being broken all the time, because UU had to be interesting for all of us. We did all sorts of fun, amazing things by ourselves without any help from Cyan. Believe it or not, yes, MO:UL can survive without the guiding hand of Cyan. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed things much more when there was an active Cyan presence. But to say that there is nothing to enjoy in MO:UL unless it comes directly from Cyan is folly, and you will be disappointed at every step of the way if you cannot make the game your own.

 How DARE you bring up the AdminKI. It made everyone miserable and lead to lots of fighting. It was an evil horrid tool that in the right hands would make you appear to be a showoff to various morans.

We’re fine if we keep MOULa as is without bots or fan content

Today was yet another beautiful day. So this afternoon after I got off work I went for a walk around town. Picked up yet another Oriental teacup for my collection, some Egyptian tea and some key lime soda.

I’ve been futzing around in gmod and other places, just goofing off and thinking of ideas for my next video.I have some ideas, I might even do a L4D campaign review and see how that goes.
