I went hunting with my pal Mike today. We had a pretty good time.
First, we gathered up all the equipment we needed. It wasn't much, but we almost ran out of ammo by the time the day was done.
We found a nice spot to wait for something to come along, and Mike decided he wanted his picture taken with everything.
We got a few small things, but eventually managed to bag this bad boy:
Bugger took almost all the ammo we had to bring down, but it was worth it.
It was good day.

Let's look at some of the challenges you'll face, as a test participant:

Today is my 22nd birthday, if anyone cares.
Last night I had a dream in which I was Harry Potter. I was running around in a crazy maze with secret passages and stuff like that in a sort of team deathmatch HL - but with magic wands, and the teams were the Hogwarts houses. I remember thinking it was super cool and I had to make a map of that to put up here. Then I woke up and sadly, I realised it was a pretty shitty idea for a map.

I'm writing this journal from my school, in my informatics classroom. From the teacher's desk 
We have a new teacher this semester, it's her first year in informatics( she was originalyl a mathematics teacher). And because I'm usually the best at informatics in my class, I'm like a secondary professor in my classroom.
It's pretty cool. It's a wounderful relaxing time for me
All I have to do is write some simple problems for my collegues at the blackboard and then I can sit at the teacher's desk computer. It has the fastest internet speed from the class.
It seems I'll have an easy life at school for the coming years....

Today's mishap:
Involving
My 16gb Partition (with windows 7)
Borderlands save game files!
The Story
I was trying to free up some space as the partition only had 1gb left. So I browsed to the "My Games" (for those who don't know, this is where most of the save game files can be found for your games) folder found in "Documents" and looked for anything particularly big. I saw UT3 which I hadn't been playing in a while and deleting it was a good idea. I right-clicked it and it said it took up about 1.6gb of space. Hastily I shift-deleted the folder and was finally glad I recovered some space.
The Mishap
Funny thing was, was when I right clicked. I actually selected the entire "My Games" folder instead of "UT3" and when I "Shift-Deleted", well... that was the mishap.
Result
-Lost 2 characters
(Hunter) Lv.41 (Was in the underdome)
(Soldier) Lv.39 (Was at Jakobs Cove)
(tl;dr)
Wanted to free space > went to "My Games" folder that contained save game files > deleted it instead of another folder > oops.

Movie I watched this week is Transformers 2. Yeah it's late, I didn't exactly rush with excitement to see it.
I knew it wasn't going to be all that great since as people know, it's a CGI fest.
I think it dragged on too long and they have the big fight at the end but the end boss is like 1 minute just like the first movie. They need to learn that the fight is just a passing thing to build up the real fight between the protag and antag.
That reminds me of something...This film is the shit, word. (In case you don't get it I'm making fun of their attempt at reaching the black american audience with two characters who speak funny)

[EDIT] SC2 = StarCraft 2
Leakage !
SC2 HAS LEAKED !
Ok, seriously now, the beta version can be found on the torrents. Unfortunately there's no actual map to play, you can only view some replays.
But that doesn't matter. This is just a confirmation that sc2 is close to release. I just hope it won't be too expensive.

My new obsession with sci-fi short story podcasts, which is currently supplanting my previous hobby of downloading movies all day/night (which i'm very happy about as an added benefit)
This one is my favourite so far..

Half-life: Guard Duty has finally come to an end. I hope you liked it. Please, give comments and feedback.
I've been thinking of posting it on a fan-fiction site, as well. I'd like to know what you think about that.
For those of you who haven't read it, or didn't get a chance to read the last chapter yet,

A friend of mine in school are going to make a REALLY SHITTY half life 1 mod.
It's based off a Black Mesa scientist who is doing genetic mutations on creatures and humans in his lab. He really wants to enslave his creations to take over the world. You're in on his plan until you figure out what's really happening.
The enslaved creatures are really the regular half life creatures. I plan on re-skinning some of them to look like screwed up animals and such.
The garg, i'm keeping the same - why not.
Some gameplay aspects: Black mesa-esque lab, city streets - suburban layouts, - some woods maps.
We're shooting for about 5-8 maps. Just a fun project to do in school.
I uploaded the cracked HL WON and hammer and all the tools to the schools network drive. stays put and anyone has access.!

Finally got TurboCAD back!
Here, have a free layout.
Also, I just brought the back off my girlfriend's expensive computer chair. I'm ok, just a few bumps, but I won't be ok when I tell her later.

I moved to a new house less than a year ago, and the new 'hood has way more frequent power outages. It's annoying as shit. I had to redo a lot of work. Until now. I got me a nice UPS.
Unfortunately it's rather heavy with its 4 batteries, and I can't put it on my surrounding... eh.. furniture, since it's mostly cardboard boxes I don't have a large desk yet (computer is on a small table, and everything else is on top of the boxes I haven't had time to unpack yet) I don't like to put stuff on the floor, but I guess it'll have to stay there until I get a proper surface.

Enjoyed this, though i don't agree with many of the choices... (yes i'm a geek :D)
