I bought Torchlight last weekend from Steam when they had the 75% discount going. Cost me only 5 bucks. Best 5 bucks I ever spent, in my opinion. For those of you who played and loved the Diablo series and other, similar games, get it. You will not regret it.

Just found about adding bloom to Half-Life 1 and mods. Adds that blindness every game needs.
The Specialists with bloom (and 8x AA, 16x AF, blah blah)
NOTE: His instructions were wrong in terms of installation, you're supposed to put the contents into:
C:\Steam\steamapps\<username>\half-life
Not the mod directory you want the bloom to be in.
The downside to this is, and it even says on the download page in big red letters should you somehow miss it, you can only use this whilst in a LAN or unsecured server as the anti-cheat picks it up as hax.

I found out last week that I made partner in my medical group.
So now I am an owner in the largest medical group practice in the United States.
Now my career is completely secure, I can focus more on mapping and gaming.

I enjoy watching medical examinations on YouTube. I find it soothing. Am I strange?

Need help with PHP!
I have a page that displays images from a directory passed through GET. I use this code to find out if the requested directory has images:
$eventcode = trim($_GET['event'])
(snip)
$content = glob(strtolower($eventcode) . '/*.{jpg, JPG, jpeg, JPEG, png, PNG}', GLOB_BRACE);
However, I just found out that the glob instruction above returns false when all images have uppercase extension. Am I overlooking something?
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

My computer is now officially finished!
I've gotten my image manipulation programs, Firefox, Steam, Steam games, etc. Installed.
It's nice to play on a computer that you put your sweat, (figuratively) tears, (figuratively) and blood (literally :|) into.
And the advanced shaders in Source working like they're supposed to doesn't hurt, either.
Brb, Half-life & HL2 play-through.

Hey Guys!
So as some of you may know, Rimrook recently got his hands on a copy of Left 4 Dead 2. How did he do this? Well, he purchased it on Steam. Whoo!
However the money required to make such a purchase was provided by the lovely Archie of Scotch and Coffee.
Check out this video to for our recent competition results and see Rimrook's winning entry.
If you are interested in getting your hands on some steam games or even goods from Amazon.com, check out our latest competition here.
It's so simple you can do it in MSPaint!

Left 4 Dead 2 is JUST simply the best blend of game for me. I've given a good play so far and I simply LOVE it! I love it just as much as TF2 only I don't get so pissed off at it since its co-op.
I have Huntey to thank for the game! Thanks Huntey!

During Monday whilst in college, one of my tutors started a discussion with the class about all the possibilities there are in the music industry, me being the only drummer in the class he used me as an example and said that I could be a drum technician for a band, which is basically the drummers assistant, setting up his kit, making sure nothing goes wrong, moving it to different venues ect.
Now, I'm not a negative person, I'm actually rather positive! But I know that it won't be easy to get into at all, drummers will be looking for someone with experience, I'm not saying that I don't have any... I've been playing drums since the age of 10 and can maintain them very well, aswell as set mic's up and all that jazz, but I just don't see it possible to get in touch with a band and the next minute you're drum teching for them.
That was our disagreement, I believed he was making it sound too easy and effortless, so he asked me for my current favourite band, to which I replied Architects, and I gave him the bands email.
I said that if he could get me, an 18 year old Welsh guy from the valley's of North Wales to drum tech for a band almost effortlessly, I'd eat my shoe infront of the class.
But you see, this is what is worrying me now, my tutor can 'talk the talk' you could say, he sounds professional when he writes letters and stuff, so what if he gets carried away and says a load of shit about me, which actually impresses the drummer and he hires me. I won't be what he expects, especially since I have no "real" drum tech experience so It'll be humiliating as hell. But so is eating a shoe infront of a class.
But I'm keeping positive about it (told you!) my tutor would have either have forgotten to send the email (conviently) or got a response which was a flat-out no. I like to think of it as a win-win situation for me.
Would be cool if I drum tech'd for Architects though, Dan inspires me a lot, I'd get to see him play live almost everyday.

I've been re-reading the Discworld series by Terry Pratchett.
He's a really good author, one of the few I would actually go out of my way to get books by. I like the sense of humour he shows through his writing. I recommend this series for those of you who like fanatasy and/or humorous books.
EDIT: I can't write long, in-depth reviews. That's all you get.

My school's auto shop is apparently being shut down next year. I am disappoint.
Upon the teacher's suggestion I'm starting a petition (useless as those are) to try to keep it alive, and my father is probably going to speak at some board meeting or somesuch to urge against ditching it. It's only one more year for me, but an infinite number of years for future students. Whatever, all good things come to an end.
In other news, I haven't opened VHE in months.

So God of War 3 anyone? Pretty awesome stuff, a bit short for my liking and lack of replay besides daring yourself to raise the difficulty. Honestly the first 20 minutes are pure epic with some great action and clever use of camera angles all combined with a music score worthy of the gods.
But nearer the end it feels like they rushed it and funny enough they did say they cut out a huge chunk of the ending to work on other aspects of the game and that they may release as DLC someday.
Anyway it's awesomely gorey with things like slicing nipple flesh off of Hades, punching the f**k out of Hercules till his face is mush, cutting off Hermes' legs, poking out poseidon's eyes etc. Real epic moments that made me yell out "DAAAAAAMN".
Is it worth money? Meh not really, a rent for sure however the collectors edition which has all three games is a sure money spender :>

Me and my fiancee just had a very public Facebook arguement about finding actors, singers and other celebrities 'Hot'. The status has over 50 comments, including a few futile people trying to break it up.
Little do they know how unique our relationship is. We basically know how much we love each other and will gladly attempt to tear each other a new one just for the sake of it. It's stress relief for us.
The funny thing is the silly people who are trying to intervene, they were lucky this time but next time they might lose an arm!! Haha
