Oh such is the beauty of life...
Half-Life 2 officially arrives on Wednesday 17th November and that is when it shall be gracing my vision as well. I have preordered the standard retail version (and got a discount)! Such happy days...
On an annoying note, my compo map is looking like it'll be totally screwed. More news later.

Rabid, Trapt...
I don't know what to say.
I too have noticed the continual degradation of the site's status during my stay here. The constant pathetic insults, the stupid questions, the inane comments. It's gone too far.
Andy, I'm suprised you've tolerated it for so long. No matter what some insignificant whelp might say about your leadership qualities, you still stand as an excellent and mature leader to a lot of people here. RabidMonkey and Trapt, you have every right to be pissed off because of the constant help and support you devote to the forums.
So what am I to do? Frankly, I've no idea. I'm disappointed that Rabid and Trapt are indeed leaving as I've enjoyed their company (as well as that debanoir Hugh) on IRC.
When I joined TWHL all those days ago, the atmosphere was...wonderful. I suppose a good thing can't last forever right? Atom's test project in PHP as evolved into a large mapping community. However, I think his tireless efforts are being exploited and misused in a way that I've never seen before. Our regulars are getting tired with answering the same questions over and over again, which I've noticed. I've also noticed the lack of interest in commenting on maps.
This brings me back to the initial issue: the large amount of crap that seems to have infested TWHL. A lot of things have been done to try and tone it down a little, but nothing's worked. In fact, it seems to have intensified. I'm sure that many more will agree with me here: I simply cannot take it anymore. Some of you people act like children who've nothing better to do than take the piss out of someone else. And no, I'm not only refering to the PaLO VS Annonymous war here. What once was a fantastic international community is now a ruined mixture of genuine members and ignorant little fucktards.
When the issue of people leaving came up last time, I was one of the ones who barracked for members to stay. Now I'm just not sure at all. When HL2 is released, my presence will probably, just like Rabid's, be devoted to HL2 mapping sites as I launch into my major project for Extension English 2. I will miss Rabid and Trapt if they do decide to totally abandon TWHL.
I just don't know what to do.
Another Goodbye?
Anthony

We have some real idiots around here, one of them being whoever the hell decided that identical journal postings of the word 'dunno' is a fantastic, witty and funny idea. Your a sad person in that respect. Leave if you don't like this site, because no one is listening to you.
Been a while since I last posted. Ironically enough, nothing has happened since my last post.
Oh well.
Oh well.
Well Journal this is it. The last day of my holidays. I wish I could say that I accomplished something, but really, I can't. I did jack all. I really should've:
*Mapped
*Read
*Studyed for guitar exam
I'm probably screwed now...oh well. Ciao all

Woo, welcome back Rabid!
Hello Anthony! This is your 1000th login. Teh Master!
Hello Anthony! This is your 958th login. And I'm quickly following you Kol 
Hey everyone, I'm back! Exams are finished and it's holidays! Did ya miss me? 
Well folks I shall be leaving you for a while while my exams are on. IN about 2 or weeks I'll be back. See you all later! 
Hello Anthony! This is your 900th login.
Creative Arts Night this Wednesday! I'm pumped!
Some news
*Song
*Dance
*Original Act
My school entered two of these categories: Original Act and the Song. I'm am involved in the song in which we were to create an original composition inspired by one of Shakespeare's plays. Our little band chose Macbeth. We had the Regional Finals and we made that, so its the State Finals now (pull out a map of Australia and look for New South Wales ). In case you're interested, the Original Act guys made it too (we are an all boys school 
).
Anywho, we need a band name! Go to www.ant292.cjb.net (don't worry, it's safe), check out the Music forums and choose/submit a band name! Join the forums if you want. You wont find any Half-Life stuff though.
*Hmmm, what else? School goes ahead, getting very busy though. I hope I have enough time to map for the contest (whenever that is).
*Oh btw, I'm one of the new mods for the TWHL IRC Channel in case anyone was still confused.
So that's it. If anyone has read this, well, get a life! What are doing reading other people's journals???
- Still making the example map for my tutorial. It's been a slow process I can tell you that...
- This Friday is the State Finals for the Shakespeare Festival. Just in case anyone reads this, I'll explain it all.

Hello Anthony! This is your 800th login.
So what can I say? Nothing much has happened really (a bit sad when you think about it). I have had two assignments to do for the holidays (one of them being quite big). I've been working on a couple of little Half-Life projects as well. I've just been too damn lazy!
Now I need a job. Half-Life 2 has no chance on my GeForce 4 so I'm looking at a Radeon 9800 Pro. Pity it cost something around the mark of $500 AUD. Oh well.
I have a site at http://www.ant292.cjb.net . Its got nothing to do with Half-Life yet, but take a look, you may like the colours. There's nothing much on there yet. Generate some interest, use the forums, submit your own stuff and who knows where it'll go?
So that's about it (sort of )
