O' Yee Of Good Faith

Greetings,

Well, Stronghold Crusader really is taking up alot of my time, but its all good. Idle hands are the devil's playthings I always say!

Will be posting more pics up on the Photo Blog so look out for that.

I'm just getting more info on this whole "Akon throws kid off stage" and its awesome. How stupid can people get? That goes out to Akon. Yeah sure the kid's stupid too, but hey, he's a kid. I thought someone with a long name like Akon's (Aliaune Damala Bouga Time Puru Nacka Lu Lu Lu Badara Akon Thiam) would be smarter. Looks like I was wrong.

Well I finally got a copy of Stronghold : Crusader, and I must say the game is a BLAST. I loved Stronghold 1, but my copy of Stronghold 2 was a bit buggy (I still cant find a fix to the mini map coming out all garbled) and that kind of put me off the Stronghold games for a bit. But building amazing castles, getting engineers and catapults to knock walls down and lob dying cows into the enemy castle, wow. Like, just wow!

Stronghold Crusader can be found here.

#1 pickup line of all time: "Hey, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?

Greetings,

Well since I brought home the new PC, lets just say there's been a slowdown on really good games I've played since. I have Dungeon Siege 2 back up and running, but its such a huge chore to re-play the game to the level I was at before the PC crashed. Lets just say I'm a bit lazy with that.

I've also got my hands on a live key for Dungeon Runners, a neat MMORPG but like all online games, I feel i dont have the time to sit down and really invest in my character.

So I've gone back to Half Life 2 (HL2). I've forgotten how good HL2 looked. Like, really. Good. I was playing FEAR and thats not too bad, but HL2 with its beach and coast views and city fighting, wow. Just wow.

Thats where most of my post-work time is going to by the way.

Calle showed me this link, and wow, this is amazing stuff.
Hard to believe its done on a PC and not a real picture.

I've gone and put in a little bit of a weather widget to the blog, on the right. Its not as exact as I'd like it (most of the time its hotter here) but it gives you an idea of the general weather over here.

Well its been slow over here. Really slow. I'm not sure if its one part work, one part the weather and one part my busy life bending space and time thus making it slow, but I'm sure its something like that.

I can go on and on.

I did get my bluetooth working again (but its stuck on a 5MB data transfer, nfi why) and you can view the pics here -> N70dav Photo Blog

So my days are now spent:
1. Doing chores.
2. Worrying about work.
3. Chasing the lawyer and bank.
4. Doing more chores.
5. Worrying about work.

Thats pretty much it.

Its funny how somethings we say come out sounding so bad when it sounded so good in our heads.

"If the software could do that and make coffee or tea, and ask you how you wanted your eggs, I would have married that instead"

that would get me in a heap of trouble.

Got some funny stuff in the mail today, thought I'd share it out.

Last night showed me winning on Magic the Gathering, but it felt like a huge win for me. Somehow, I managed to get a lure on a thicket basilisks and then also enabled 'Living Lands' (my opponent was also 100% green). So when I used the thicket basilisks with the lure, it drew in all (and I mean ALL) of his cards (even the lands) against the basilisks. I lost the basilisks, but all his cards were destroyed because of the stoning effect.

Awesome move.

As mentioned in earlier posts, I'm trying to push myself back into writing (random stuff) because I've started to grow super lazy. Now, in order to not bore the 4 people or so that frequently read my blog, I will have a short post with the Label 'Story' and then paste the actual short story in the comment field. This way, the main post will not end up looking like I had just copied it from the New York Times or something. It also serves to piss people off, because they would have to click the comments link to read. Extra mile, thats what I say!

These story posts will also be followed by the below image:

PS: Just FYI, the image was made in Microsoft Visio, and it has an option to save as a GIF which is neat.

Greetings,

Over the years I've gone and added some bits and pieces to the blog and now its hard to just select a different blog template, so what I've gone and done is amend the title banner but I cant find a good colour for the title now.

Lately it feels like the days are going by at the speed of life. You heard me right, the speed of life. Its variable, and sometimes a whole lot faster then the speed of light, but at times its slower then a snail on a bed of salt (go figure).
I guess its all relative, and most of the time (for me at least) its relative to the amount of work I have and how much time I get to spend doing the things I love.

Money tends to get in the way of what I want to do though, but thats a whole different issue I guess. I'm aiming at working on my writing, model making, and gaming (with a new PC, which I'll pay with my left kidney, looking at the prices of processors these days!)

So yeah. Speed of life guys.

I think I need to help infect some brains as mine has. Throughout the week, I've found myself humming this song over and over again, its catchy and its got a great beat (youtube link, opens in a new window).

Oh dear god, I think I'm turning into Hurk.

Well I'm not one to be speaking about ethics (I've got the ethical equivalent of a sea cucumber) but things like this tend to freak me out. Seems a bit wrong, and the only reason we're getting away with it is because the birds cant fend for them selfs.

Well I picked up a water lily plant for the house (no, haven't gotten the papers yet!). You can see them here:
