Has anybody else tried Amnesia?
I started playing it a few days ago. Honestly I've never been more scared in my life. Holy shit. FEAR ain't got nothing on this.
The story is very interesting, however I'm progressing through it at a really slow pace since I keep shitting myself and close down the game every 15 minutes or so.
For those who have played it, what did you think?

Lyssa's surgery results. She has a hole in her head now, as well as a plate and screws and... well see for yourself.
Happy holidays! Be sure to play at least 10 mods over winter break.
So I ran into this thread and I think we need medics over here right now. I have xen assault but in a zip it is over 100 mega and as c-striker may or may not know, filefront recently had a major site overhaul not unlike facebook's and all files are rearranged so that any current links die. Anyway I put a link on moddb so if you want to play this you can.
Okay that was the news. Anyway this week we have some czech mods to discuss. First up is red mesa, a fullbright mod of 16 maps. I think the quality of the mappack is guessable based on keyword in the previous sentence. Then we have its sequel, Red Mesa 2. Nothing much here.
The final czech mod we are talking about is Half life: The Real. The title is bit misleading, as I though the mod was quite surreal. I swear, at one point you are thrown into a catacombs as the Diablo II title music plays in your headphones. That was pretty random, lol.
Anyway in this mod you assume the identity of Trinity. You know, that woman from the Matrix movies. Well, not really, but that is your player model so you can't complain.
Like residual point, this mod features two full-length scenarios separately, one as the "new game" and one as the "training". Unfortunately I still have not even finished the "training" campaign yet, since there is one VERY VERY ANNOYING thing about this mod.
This mod has a ridiculous excuse for a skill.cfg. In case you didn't know that is the file that sets the damage for all the attacks and health for monsters and players. Anyway in this crazy skill, headcrabs can kill you in 2 hits at FULL HEALTH AND ARMOUR. They can easily GIB you in 2 hits without armour. No seriously, I even got my ass chewed by LEECHES, WITH ARMOUR. So, "Easy" might as well be "Deadly". Luckily for you, though only I alone need to suffer such pain. Go here and look for the fixed skill.cfg courtesy of phillip's community.
Of course even with that you will be in for a hard time. The first map of the "training" campaign has you on a train running like a mofo as a jet prepares to bomb your ass until you are dead. I dunno if the "new game" campaign is better, though it is a fact that the "training" campaign predates the "new" campaign so that is a possibility.
I want to say more about this mod but I am not making much progress because of the over 9000 skill level. If you want to try this (59 maps total, I think) PLEASE get the skill.cfg fix or other wise you will die atleast 10 times by headcrabs alone.

Hey, unfortunately my laptop's graphics card blew up, so I'll be without a computer for some time (about a month or two) while I save up for the desktop I've always wanted. So, i'm back to using the internet at the library or the cafe's.
TWHL! I need your help!
My girlfriend, Lesley, has entered a contest for her portfolio where the prize is a 3 month stay with 3rd Ward, an art and design centre in New York.
As much as I don't want to send her overseas AGAIN (we recently successfully got through a year in a long distance relationship), this prize is far too awesome to pass up.
So, what do you have to do? Simple: just check out this site and rate it five stars! There's no signing up or anything, but there is a time delay on subsequent ratings.
If you do vote, then you are truly awesome.

I've collected a few videos from the internet with DIY launches into space. Well, near space, but it's still amazing!
The Mighty Atom will love these :).

This really just makes me want to build one of those things. Unfortunately idk where you can get helium balloons like those around here...

My dwarf hamsters getting ready for bed.
Gonna keep this real short and simple: I just played a German mod called "SHORTCUT".
When you start a new game, it pans a camera view of the room you start in, which is a creepy corridor with glass windows on both sides, and you can see slaves patrolling on each side. Opening messages go "A short half life mod"
You go down the hallway and pick up your suit and weapons. You go down a hallway and bash some aliens. You go down another hallway and fight some slaves. You go down a third hallway and the message says "I said that is a short mod!" Game over.
I think I got trolled or something.

Here's a trailer for a map I'm releasing very soon.
Here's some news that might surprise you. My aunt, who has been dating for awhile, met this one guy called Brian two nights ago. Turns out they both became instant lovebirds and are now planning to get married.
I'll be honest, I lol'd when I heard the news.

Lots of random stuff on my mind.
So it hasn't even been a week and I'm growing restless knowing there's a perfectly good competition going on and I can't map for it. Only a few more weeks then I'll get my new laptop. I'm also kinda missing paying HL deathmatch and OP4 Deathmatch with my friends and clan. This sucks I've resorted to playing though The Orange Box on my Xbox again. I HATE the strider battle at White Forest, if the stupid rebels would concentrate less on shooting the striders and more on the hunters that would make it so much easier, although when you finally do beat it you feel more accomplished I guess. So while on the topic of bosses, Why is the Nihilanth so easy to kill? Going on how much health I have at the end of his battle the Gonarch should have been the final boss as I had the least Health after fighting it.
What other bosses are in Half-Life, The Power Up Garg? The Blast Pit Tentacle? I can't think of any others.
One last thing, who would win in a creepy stare contest G-man or Weegee?
