Just came across my favourite episode of Dexter's Lab. Very Bondy.

I always wanted to make a short film in that style since I saw it. Sadly I don't have the means to produce it, with a proper soundtrack.

Also, Bonk.

I had a lot of fun while it lasted.

When I created GamingParents in September of 2006, I was hoping to start a thriving community between adult gamers where a discussion of gaming strategy could intermingle with topics on parenting.

More than three years later, it is clear that the community has not blossomed as I had hoped.

2007 was the best year, with more than twenty active members.

By 2010, there are basically three members left. And I think it's silly to have a forum with just one or two people having a monologue.

I greatly appreciate every member that GamingParents have ever had, but the experiment is coming to a close.

I will still visit other forums, including TWHL and Sermo. It's time to move on.

Farewell, friends. Thanks for the good memories.

I just found out us Romanians are on the 4th place at the internet connection speeds.
The irony is that the "internetization" took place in Romania later than in other countries, like UK for example. But that gives us an advantage now: the equipments are more modern.

Here's the top: http://www.techpark.net/2009/04/08/internet-connection-speed-the-top-10-countries/

I couldn't found an updated top, but I saw in a forum discussion that our average speed climbed to 6,2 mbps(and that's exactly my internet speed...), Romania still being in the 4th place.

Well, maybe in the future we'll have gaming studios among the best ones in the world. We'll beat the shit out of the other countries :D.
very optimistic scenario

I'm painting my apartment right now, it takes a lot longer than I had anticipated, and it's fucking killing my back.

Bedroom is done, and I'm really pleased with the results. Now it's on to the most tedious parts, because I have to move my computer, sofa and tv out of the way. Not looking forward to messing with all the cables behind my computer

Here we go again,......what the hell is up with Hollywood and their pervasive need of lately to "reboot" everything they get their hands on? I mean, I can understand re-doing an old movie that's perhaps decades old (about 30, 40 or 50 years old or more), this way it can be introduced to a new generation of viewers, I have no problem with that. A good example of this is the upcoming "A-Team" movie, which is based on the popular action series of the 1980's of the same name: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808402981/video/17565315

But what I don't understand is why the hell Sony has the need now to restart the entire Spiderman movie franchise from the beginning! You heard right, apparently Sony has decided to scrap Spiderman 4 and instead start all over again with a new franchise including a whole new cast of actors. Heck, the first Spiderman movie is not even 10 years old yet, let alone the third movie! So what's going on here? Were the first 3 Spiderman movies that bad?

Got my new engine started for the first time today. Runs beautifully, though it's still being broken in.

So...

To keep you interested I'll first post this job description on Gearbox:

We are looking for all levels of Environment Artists who have the passion and talent to create visually stunning environments. Environment Artists will be part of the team creating environment art for an unannounced shooter based on one of the most famous shooters ever created, the Environment Artist will create all types of environment assets, terrain, structures and props. The Environment Artist will report to the Art Director.

So what do you think? I vote for Opposing Force 2 although I doubt it's the most famous?

Anyway now to bore you I finished my last university task last night for the first term despite it being 2010. It seriously wrecked me as I had so much to do and so little time. I ended up with a beard and my hands were like twigs but it was worth it cause it should, no it will get a good mark or I will seriously doubt fairness.

Oh and for the anime people out there I finished Samurai Champloo a sec ago for the fourth or fifth time. Still as good as ever.

Well, that's a relief.

I've installed Windows 7 64-bit the other day and Steam HL, WON HL and Hammer all work fine. I was kinda scared that they would'nt.

Bottomline: i can still map for GoldSource! :D

Downright sickest movie yet!

Yep, that's what an upcoming horror movie called "The Human Centipede" is all about, at least to me anyway. Now, don't get me wrong, I like a good horror movie as much as the next guy, but damn.....sometimes there is such a thing as going overboard in weirdness! This has to be a direct to DVD release, I just can't see this being played in regular movie theaters, at least not in the U.S.

T'was my birthday yesterday. Had the biggest cake ever, I mean, you could submerge your head fully into it.

Today, I prove that the cake - at least, this cake - was most certainly not a lie. Now, I must go and OM NOM NOM NOM the rest of my cake.

I had a bad dream last night.

I dreamed that there was a growing cult that abducts children and poisons them. I was trying so hard to hide my son and protect him.

Now I wonder whether it's because I was playing too much BioShock. I do rescue all the Little Sisters, but they do creep me out.

I guess playing this game at night reflects what I do during the daytime--rescuing children and making them well again

You may not be seeing much of me for a while.
The reason? I'm getting highspeed.
Now, you might be thinking "That's great, JeffMOD, but why would that stop you from coming here?" The answer is because it's a "mobile internet stick" designed for laptops, and to supplement a highspeed connection at home.
The usage limit is 512MB a month.
And the dialup, which is unlimited, is going to be canceled.
It's not like I have much of a choice, a 3 year contract was signed while I was at school.
What's this mean for me? Rationing of my browsing, and faster video load times and download speeds. Not that I can make too much use of them without torrents to pause downloads so I don't deplete my monthly usage.
:(
