Aight, i posted this in the ShoutBox, but no one ever really replies to me in there, but I recently (as in a few hours ago) got a hold of a 25$USD gift card, now L4D2 is 30$USD, and L4D1 is 20$USD, so should i save for another one of those sales steam has, or go ahead and buy L4D1?

Hey guys, just dropping by to kindly ask you all if you could spare a few minutes to sign up to www.l4dmaps.com and rate my map.

It's hard nowadays to get even a small amount of attention to a map, so I'd really appreciate it if you could!

Here's a link to the map - http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=5166

If you scroll to the bottom you can see what others think.

Thanks! <3

I'm back from my holiday! It was a pretty good holiday, it got a bit crazy in the final two days though. I think it was Tuesday when y'all were sitting on your computers doing your shit while I was being viciously attacked by lightning clouds. I went to the country side with my dad, we wanted to plant some fishing nets into the sea but a massive storm cloud kept moving over our house; It even hit some electricity wires a couple of times, which made a light bulb explode right in front of my face. Anyway, The weather eventually turned good, so we figured now 's our chance, lets go now. We got a couple of meters away from the shore in our boat till they suddenly came back, I could see lightning clouds coming from all directions, we got surrounded by them :<. We made a run for it, I had to walk like a kilometre back to the house with heavy rainfall and lightning hitting all around me. The thunder was deafening too. Pretty scary huh?

A couple of other things happened too; like in the next day I got into a fight and got punched in the face, and on my way home I got viciously food poisoned by Airbaltic air-plane pasta! The vomiting started when I got out of the plane. I had to take a couple of trains to get home. During the hour I vomited like 20 times, all over the trains and the train stations, People had to jump when I was leaving the train. That was yesterday, it pretty much sucked.
Word of the wise: Air-plane pasta; It will kill your insides!

Edit: here are some photos from my holiday

This morning my brother was mowing the lawn when for some reason the lawnmower caught fire. My dad quickly began to move it somewhere where it could burn itself out safely, when it exploded and injured his leg. A while ago when he was cutting logs with a chainsaw a piece of wood was torn out and hit him in the leg hard enough to damage the bone, well whatever it was that came off the mower hit him in the same spot, and now it's broken in two places. Apparently it'll be three weeks until it'll be healed.

Well, here it is, my final journal before i start school. I cant complain, i had a great summer, i spent most of it sitting this site and facebook. Ill still be here, just not as frequent like i want to be. I should however shall have many more map ideas when i get on every now and then. Well, bye you guys.

1 Year Anniversary with me and my GF!

Went and seen Dinner for Schmucks in the theatre. Was a really heart warming movie. Will like have good cake and sex.

We will have many more years together without a doubt.

Today I finally took the time to hit the drums hard. After about a year of barely having time to play at all, I actually made some loud noise for the first time since I moved in.

Besides recalling I truly need new ear plugs (I'm sure I lost some hearing today :P) I have found out that I also need headphones (rather than using the speakers across the room) as I could barely hear the music I was playing along with.

Before you judge, I'm a rather quiet player - hence I forced myself to play louder than usual, simplistic '60s-ish rocky music with room for a lot of fills and such adornations.

I had a pair of foam ear plugs but one day I took them off and they were all covered in ear wax so I washed them with warm water. But the foam never compressed again, and I have to go out and get me new ones.

Just joined TWHL and having issues compiling lynxcity

I came across this wikipedia page... I thought it'd be cool to share it with you guys:

I got this sound card from one of my friends.

His wife just had a baby, and I visited them in the hospital. He works for ASUS, so he gave me this card as a token of gratitude.

I installed it, and it sounds pretty sweet. But I think I need to get better speakers to really hear the quality sound this card generates.

Been working on this for a total of about 5 hours, tweaking the code and fine tuning the graphics. A guess a fair amount of credit should go to Rimrook for his epic texture package which helped make the concrete and metal effect which is perfect for the theme of the mod and webpage.

Anyways, still a few issues to sort out and some links to add in, but I'd like to know what you guys think.

Thanks.

OK, so im on facebook, and i get invited to some event, about autism, im like, fuck that, im to young to go anywhere on my own(other than the mall and shit with friends) then i see that the description says my friends name in it, and was started by his mother, and there's a website link, and then there is a whole page telling a story about my friend having autism, and i still have no clue what it is, he always seemed normal to me, ive known him most of my whole life, so, because Wikipedia sucks, can someone explain to me what autism is, so i can better understand what my friends been going through?

I had a strange dream last night. I was playing Valve's new "Half-life 2 coop" Which was more a TF2 MMO set in the HL world. I was shooting a demoman and a heavy with a paintball gun while running backwards. I ran right off a cliff in the process, and the demo followed. I kept shooting, wanting to kill him before the inevitable fall damage did. In desparation, I switched to my melee weapon (a sword) right before I hit the ground. After I died, the demoman fell on my corpse, impaling himself on the sword, and giving me a postmortem kill. I then did this multiple times because the demo kept running after me.

In my last journal, when I said I was back from my holidays, that wasn't strictly correct. I was at my grandparents house in England, where we were staying for a few days.
Anyway, I was in my Grandfather's shed mucking about when I spotted some old blank cartridges for a nail gun he no longer had. Being the enterprising spirit in the field of blowing stuff up that I am, I decided to try and set one of these off. Seeing as they looked like rimfire cartridges, I held a nail with some pliers and used a hammer to hit it into the rim. Other than making a hole, it did nothing. I tried again, with the same result. I took it out of the vice to inspect it - I found out I was right in my initial assumption, the primer was in the rim of the cartridge. I came to the conclusion that the powder must have gotten damp at some point. I decided to set it off by holding lit over a lit match. It worked. I decided to take another blank to hold over a match, as the bang from this one wasn't particularly loud. Not enough pressure had built up, seeing as there were two holes in the side. So I took a new cartridge, and held it over the match...

Long story short, the doctors managed to remove the metal from my arm. It wasn't in too deep, but it hit right in the elbow, where there's several large veins, arteries, nerves and tendons. It could have been rather unfortunate. I think I'm also partially deaf in my right ear as well because of it. My ears were still ringing several hours later.
