Meh, I dont know what to call these posts anymore...

Meh...
I am still playing Episode 2, I just got to the sticky mine thingys, dont want to give much away. That is a hard game, much harder than the other half-life 2's. Well, I am playing it on hard mode, so I guess I am getting what I ordered...
What else... well, I am still working on the Gmod movie, it probably will not be coming out anytime soon.
Well, thats it for now, I hope I will get something interesting to talk about. Oh, by the way, happy Holloween... I never do anything for it, but it is that day today.

Update 10272007

Once again sorry for the delay of this post, it has been an entire week already...

I have been playing with the Orange Box material of course, still not quite finished with hl2e2, but I havent actually played it that much. I just got to the second town you arrive at in the car, with the weird effect every few seconds. I stopped just as I got out of the car (to keep the suspence up), but i'm guessing that it is an effect of one of those things like what you saw in episode 1.

Anyway, I have also been playing around with Garry's Mod. I am trying to put together a movie with it, but i do not even know if I am going to be able to get the software to put it together. I have several ideas and some funny videos from it, but I might just end up having to use MS Movie Maker...

Pics are working again (portal cont'd)


I guess Blogger finally got their act together, so I can finally post my picture of me playing portal. Not that exiting, but you can see what the game looks like at full graphics if you can't do that on your machine. I was happy to be able to run every Orange Box game at full graphics, anti-aliasing, motion blur, texture filtering, etc. at 60 fps most of the time. I am using a G-force 8800 GTS, the 320MB version. I have been very happy with it so far, and I am still waiting to test how well it handles Crysis, another game I am looking forward to. I think it comes out Nov 13.

Lol...

LOL look at this animation I found... =/

WTF...

PORTAL PWNZ!!!11!1

First I would like to appologize for the delay in updating this blog. This is because I have been playing the ORANGE BOX! I have tried all the games now, have almost finished portal in my second run-through with commentary, and I have downloaded Peggle Extreme (lol), Source SDK, and Half-Life 2 Lost Coast.

Hm... I was going to talk about portal and have a nice screenshot here, but it seems that Blogger is having some issues... i'm getting an error... bX-9pjt6o it says... =P

If anyone knows how to get rid of this problem, please leave a comment. I will see if I can make a seprate new entry and have it work...

Bioshock: Done, Orange Box: Incoming

Shortly after posting the last entry (on the same afternoon) I finished Bioshock. I had been harvesting every little sister in the game so that I could see the evil ending. I will not give away either of the endings, but if you really want to spoil them for yourself you can probably find them on Youtube or Google video somewhere.

Today, finally, the Orange Box came! This is the game that includes Half life 2, Half life 2 Episode 1, Half life 2 Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress, and on steam gives you the opportunity to download Peggle Extreme and Half life 2 Lost Coast. I have played a few hours of portal and have tried out TF2, but I have yet to start episode 2. I plan on doing that tomorrow, if I dont have too much work to do. My next post will have pictures, I am too lazy to go in and take some screenshots right now just to post here, and on this internet connection it would take forever to upload one of the videos I made. Anyway, if you havent already, go buy the Orange Box! =p

Bioshock
















I am trying to finish Bioshock before the Orange box gets here from Amazon. This is fairly hard because most of my time is taken up with school work. I am pretty far into the game I think, I am about to get the next portion of the potion so that I can get rid of the somewhat annoying "unstable plasmids", when the game randomly changes your current weapon to a random plasmid. I need to get back to playing it now!

Woot!

Woot! My blog has arisen! I am sure nearly no one will ever look at it, but what the heck, it could be fun! I am a PC gamer and internet user. I play many PC games and a few console games, my most recently played being Battlefeild 2142, Unreal Tournament 2004, Half life 2 and Bioshock. I used to play World of Warcraft, but after all my favorite WoW podcasts "took breaks", I also took a break from wow and haven't played in a serious way in many months (my main was a 64 human mage on The Venture Co. server).

I made this blog intending to put it on my website that is still in the making, but I am not sure if it will ever reach completion. It would be called something along the lines of "Nubbah", lol. If it ever gets off into the interweb, it would be a gaming / tech website, including several oddities such as a random YouTube video of the week and some random bugs I have found while using my computer.

Well, I guess that is it for my first post. If you are one of the five dudes who accidentally clicked the wrong link and stumbled upon this blog, thanks for reading! (=^-^=)
