Journals

I lost everything involving Left 4 Beer. I reinstalled Left 4 Dead and the tools because of a strange error that would let me run the game. Of course I did this as a last effort, but normally uninstalling games leaves your local files like saved game data and added stuff. Steam games, thoroughly do not and no one told me or I didn't notice any warnings. I lost everything, instances, trigger setups, not even the autosave file has anything in it. Probably my own stupid fucking fault too.

Rest in Peace, Left 4 Beer. May your reincarnate hopefully succeed you :*(

Still Alive slowed down 800%

amazing D:

5:00-6:30 is probs the best part but the whole thing sounds so god damn epic it's incredible..

Here's an article that fucked with my mind:

Science facts about this "holographic" world

As I'm reading this, I start to think about the 4th dimension. You know, it's said that in the 4th dimension you can see a 'three dimensional' thing from all possible directions at a time, so probably that's what's happening at a subatomic level.

You will never believe it.

I had a dream.

Thought I would carry on the almost common "dream journals" trend.

Wow, Yesterday I kind got powned by my dream, the dream really took the piss, in a funny way. I was dreaming about being in the woods, everything seemed realistic, suddenly I spotted a bunch of foxes, at first there was like one but then more kept showing up, there were a lot. I managed to scare them off by shouting at them and looking big (because that's what you're actually supposed to do in this situation). I was very relieved, thinking that was very close. Then all of a sudden a massive grizzly bear came out of no where, chased me down and destroyed me.

I just played a limited game on steam for free called serioso sam. It's about some american stereotype wearing dark sunglasses and an impressive body mass. Maybe the croatian version of duke nukem or something.

The demo allows you to play one level, which at first I thought was level one. But after some poking around I found out that the free level given in the demo was actually closer to around level 11. Huh. Well, okay.

Gameplay consists of large, open spaces with plenty of room to maneuvre. This is supplemented by having hordes of monsters to battle at once. So what kind of monsters? Well mostly you have some humans that were victims of the French Revolution, accompanied by what looks like monsters from a Super mario game called "wario's woods" (image search "galrog wario woods" you see what I mean.) On the higher end of the danger scale we have undead steers and what looks like obese madcows, along with harpies and those bipedal mechs from Star wars. I like the variety.

Setting: Egypt. The game didn't tell me any plot exposition, seeing as it is a demo. So I'll just make one up: Sam is on the run from aliens and is trying to plunder ancient egyptian pyramids for artifacts that will help him unlock doors so that he can get somewhere. Why do the aliens want him dead? Dunno, maybe they're just mental or something.

This game features what can essentially be called a Pokedex that travels with you and subtly helps you out. Everytime you see a new pokemon err I mean a monster the pokedex thing will automatically update itself to give you useful information about it. Like how a red scorpion looking human toting a chaingun is very dangerous because of its religious convictions.

There was one thing I didn't like about this game: it was how monsters can spawn right next to you. Gameplay is usually a trigger_once that triggers a multi_manager that targets a bunch of monstermakers. If you see a good item lying on the ground (or rather, floating magically above the ground) then chances are there's a trigger_once covering that area. I made a radically bad mistake when I approached a healing pickup that I didn't need. Because when I got there, some people appeared and yelled at me that I made a stupid move. Apparently they think their yelling wasn't loud enough so they ran towards me holding large black boomboxes still yelling at the top of their lungs. It was very hard to communicate with them.

I think this game is very simplistic. Large open areas, lots of evil minions. Shoot. Blow stuff up. Then maybe get blown up yourself. Lots of action. Fun. Everybody, give this a try.

Alright, fuck the ShoutBOX,Thats my new map. its going to wok like Cod5 NZ. and, is it anyway possible to have the Math_counter show up on the Hud? like a |Showonhud| |true| type thing?

JeffMOD is back from his cottage!
With no internet, computer, and only 1 channel, I had no pressure for the compo or any other outside source, and not much high-tech stuff to do, and as such spent most of my time relaxing in the form of reading, sleeping and swimming. I also spent some time doing the highly popular activities known as eating and breathing.

My parents are now fighting, so there goes the lack of stress I gained from the last 4 days.

Question to the technical people out there.

I got a call from a client saying her stock list wasn't updating on the websites FTP so I check it out to find a block from AVG saying the site is infected with a JS/REDIR.

I find out the index file is infected or rather, there's code in there that probably leads people to some porn site.

My question is how did that get on there? The only person who accesses it is the client. Is it possible there's a virus on her PC that is programmed to access FTP's and replace the index file?

edit

Might want to add that I replaced the index with an old one from my HD and all is fine. I just want to know how it got on there.

The girl I nearly had something with just emailed me. She wanted me to know she "officially" has a girlfriend now.

Life just likes to tease me.

I just found out that I'll get a $1,000 tax refund from the government. This is refund that was owed to me ten years ago.

It's a nice surprise.

I am looking to buy a new laptop, so I wanted to see what people thought of this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115792
It's fairly cheap, and I feel like it might be worth the money. What does everyone else think?

It's my birthday today! I am now legally old enough to have sexy time. alllllllllllll right.
But on a serious note, I wonder what I'll get for my bday, I know I might get a new PC which is very nice, but my mom said she ordered something from Hong Kong, and I have no idea what it is! Any ideas?

By the way admins, can I get the ability to change the text under my name that says "member", I made a tutorial, aren't I supposed to get that?

Some more generic layouts, had a moment of blah.

Hey!

So I threw together this video all about mapping decent looking corridors in GoldSource. Its all basic stuff but take a look.

Also, let me know if I made any errors.
