The good news is I got called in early today. The bad news was that I only got 5 hours of sleep.
Lets see how I handle tonight.
>TF2 Beta server is up!
That’s right! Slackers now has it’s own TF2 beta server. You can join at:
68.118.66.155:27013
The server is currently running in default configuration and will be properly tweaked tomorrow night.
Feel free to give it a try in the meantime.

This could be fun. I might have to make a Slackers TF2Beta server.

>Sure enough.
Got a call today to come in and work tomorrow. Actually looking forward to it, even though I have to be there at 11am. Oh well at least I didn’t have to be there on old people tueday.
Today FedEx brought my L4D 1 and 2 shirts! Now I can style myself like a leet pro while working on my next video. I’m currently taking a break from it. I’ll try to post a log of what I’ve accomplished on it tonight before going to bed. Hopefully the zombies won’t distract me. I should get quite a bit accomplished though considering the weather sucks ass outside.
>Early Morning Open Thread
Ok ok so tonight I finally was in the mood for some turkey. But there was a catch… I had it with rice noodles, peanut sauce and spicy peppers. Even my noodly appendage has to have rice!!!
Work was busy, but not busy enough for me to get extra hours. Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll get a phone call on one of my days off.
Tonight I decided to start working on my next short machinima. I won’t give details as to what it’s going to be. But so far I have the lip sync down, map location and 2 recordings so far. It’s not going to be anything spectacular, I just wanted to do something short and funny. You have to work on these things while you have the creative juices flowing through you.
>In other news I still like rice…
Wow… Work was real slow tonight. People must have blown all their money on Black Friday… To make matters worse my hours (as well as everyone else I work with) are being cut back worse than ever. I’m not even getting 20 hours. I need 25 per week to keep my medical, hopefully I can get some extra hours in.
Tonight I continued my rice addiction, only with bell pepper. Followed by a strawberry smoothie shower for what it’s worth.
Ok, back to video card shopping…
>Open Thread
Last night I actually had a good evening at work. Came home and tried a new soap made of natural oils and sandalwood. Made a sweet rolled Japanese omelet and finished off the rest of my imitation crab with some sushi rice.
Last night Ivan_Fookinov and I were trying to play a serious round of Left 4 Dead 2 when a couple of n00bs came in. We were nice to them, hell everyone has to start somewhere. But I knew it was going to be a long campaign when the first question was “How do i pick up things?”. Things went rather well, at least until the finale came. Everyone got raped. This is why you either train in singleplayer before a match or with a friend. Oh well, Yutram came in and it turned into a total admin match. Between him and I gnomes were everywhere, tanks and witches ran rampant, Francis chargers were there to rape, the Nick Hunters were bouncing in the special gravity. It was all good fun.
