I was riding flatland bmx on my bike yesterday in the cul-de-sac in front of my house when a thunderstorm began to roll in. As the first lightning struck right in front of me I felt a strong shock in my left thumb. I had been slightly shocked by it!
I headed straight inside. My thumb is still very slightly stiff. I think I'm lucky I didn't get it worst.

I changed my Gigabyte HD4850 with an MSI HD7750. Now I can run Crysis FullHD.
My wife and I are making something. It won't be ready for about 7 months though.

Do you ever just look back on your day and wonder what the actual hell you were doing?
I always tend to post my weird shoot experiences on here, but this one tops them all. So much unbelievable fun.

I've gone from studying architecture to making toys.
I have too many irons in the fire as they say, so i'm trying to focus on one hobby for now.
Let me know your favorite childhood physical toys
Mine were probably legos and transformers. Any suggestions as to toys I should check out?
Yes that's Samus in the back ground, she wasn't cheap.
Oh and neither was the Omega Supreme G1 transformer!
I've had to further divide my shelves.

I am now... no longer the man you call Scotch. I am now the knight who says ekki-ekki-ekki-pitang-zoom-boing!

My usual way of getting machines was either through people i know or ebay which is a rare and quite expensive occasion. So i decided to look in the local ad's (something like craigslist ?) what i usually avoided doing for some reasons.
So i searched about and found this for cheap:
(Sorry for low quality pics, took these with my crappy phone at work)
Anyway, its a Dell PowerEdge 2950 in a great condition. I wasn't such a big Dell fan, giving prior experience with their custom connectors and weird issues, but this thing is insane.
You can literally take this apart with just your hands, everything is held in place by tabs (blue color for removable, orange for hot-swap).
Its got an Intel Xeon quad core (socket 771, can't remember the model though), 4gb of pointless fully buffered memory 
This thing is subject for another cpu and more ram. Also it sounds like a jet plane when it starts up, so fans will have to be replaced when this goes to the basement 
Both PSU's are still there and working, 750w each and its said they are power hungry so im planning on running just one since anyway the power at the basement is crap anyway who needs 2 psu's ?
It also came with 2x73gb and 2x300gb 15k rpm SAS drives.
The next buy for the "datacenter" is a UPS and i spy some cheap APC ones as well (grin)

I just wanted to say hi to you guys. Its been a while since I've poked around with Hammer, even longer since I've poked around TWHL. Life caught up to me a bit, and employment has been and continues to be my biggest focus. It makes me happy to know TWHL is still around. Best wishes for continued success!
I just played Estranged act 1 on steam. You do not need HL2 installed to play it. It is also free. and has source code as well, I think.
Basically you are the fisherman on a boat and must unfortunately get off the boat to inveshtigate an island. It is supposedly a horror mod, but I've played black snow and no mod can get scarier than that hands down.
It's not very scarey, honestly, and certainly isn't the best mod ever either. But it does offer slightly different play than the average HL2 mod, seeing as your enemies are all human and dont look like combine soldiers or headcrab zombies. There isn't that much combat either, and get this, you can only carry a single weapon with you at all times. Do I recommend this? Sure, if you want a quick revisit to the source engine. Wouldn't put it on any sort of priority list or anything.
(This was more of a review and less of a summary, which is what I typically did. Oh well.)

Bought Doom I and II from the Doom Complete pack from steam.
Which I am now proceeding to not play through steam, as the built-in DosBox emulation has really bad video colour and lag issues. (I'm running the WADs through the gzdoom interpreter instead)
Sometimes you just want a nice corridor-erm...maze shooter.

I got a really weird idea and it's hopefully not too weird.
In a nutshell, it's a singleplayer mini-game type where the player hunts down headcrabs tucked away in hidden locations. Kind of like an exterminator. Baby-crabs in HL1 work well for this because they are tiny and can hide in more locations. I tried experimenting with cockroaches in the original idea, but their code is incomplete and they trigger nothing when they are killed. The next smallest is baby-crabs so that's why its crab hunt and not roach hunt.
It would certainly be interesting to craft a small and detailed environment and stash 50 crabs in it to be found. Lots of interesting puzzles could be made of it too.
Would be more interesting if we each made a level and strung them together in a mod. All default resources would do nicely for it I suppose.
Thoughts?
