IT SNOWS! YES YES YES YES YES!
I just woke up and watched outside the window. Everything is white, covered with snow. The snow is maybe like 20 cm already. It still snows.
This means only one thing: formula1 with plastic bags down the hills. It's really hardcore when you have the "maximum" speed and you just see the snow flying above you.

HALF LIFE CLIFF NOTES
by 2muchvideogames

BLACK MESA INBOUND
Gordon rides the Black Mesa tram to work.

ANOMALOUS MATERIALS
Gordon arrives at Sector C where he shlunks the carrier into the beam causing a disaster of epic proportions.

UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES
Gordon breaks his way out of Sector C and somehow finds an elevator in the sewers.

OFFICE COMPLEX
Gordon navigates an office complex along with the help of scientists and security guards (on second thought, only the guards helped much.)

"WE'VE GOT HOSTILES"
Demonstrating a serious oversight of human rights, the US government sends in troops to neutralise all life including Gordon, who by now is toting a shotgun.

BLAST PIT
Gordon must somehow get past three long, sharp, deadly, noisy, and ugly green tentacles.

POWER UP
Gordon must power up a train while evading a big blue thingy...

ON A RAIL
A more violent train ride than the first chapter.

APPREHENSION
Gordon is apprehended by soldiers after surviving an assassination attempt on his life.

RESIDUE PROCESSING
Gordon tries to avoid being processed by undiscriminating machines.

QUESTIONABLE ETHICS
Gordon questions the ethics of putting secrecy and national security above individual human rights.

SURFACE TENSION
Gordon wonders why this chapter is called surface tension. And then he looks up and sees da choppers.

"FORGET ABOUT FREEMAN!"
Gordon rejoices since it is revealed that the soldiers are retreating from Black Mesa.

LAMBDA CORE
Some lazy scientists order Gordon to power up some pumps.
Then, Gordon is sent into another world. How fun.

XEN
Gordon jumps from platform to platform reminiscient of a plumber wearing red shirt and overalls.

GONARCH'S LAIR
Gordon's path is blocked by a walking testis. (Seriously that's what Valve programmers intended it to be)

INTERLOPER
Gordon goes gunnin' and runnin' across the factories of Xen like some action film hero.

NIHILANTH
Gordon attempts to hold peace talks with the supreme ruler of Xen, but it all breaks down eventually...

ENDGAME
Gordon declines his offer of employment and is left stranded on Xen, where he makes peace with the remaining aliens. With the death of the autocratic, warmongering ruler, Nihilanth, the remaining Xen population sets up a provisional government that holds democratic elections. Gordon eventually settles down and marries a vortigaunt and lives happily ever after. THE END

Well, this last week adobe CS3 decided to de-activate itself, and every time i try to reactivate it, it says i have the wrong code. so i have no flash, and i needed flash for some homework of mine. so now, i get to explain to my teacher all this. macromedia would have never let this happen, stupid adobe.

I bought Counterstrike Source... well, I wouldn't have bought it if some friends wouldn't tell me several times to buy it. It was only 3,75 euro anyway. And it's really not a big difference between it and the old counterstrike, besides the improved graphics, ragdolls and new models for weapons.
The gameplay hasn't changed.

Oh btw, today, just surfin' on the net, I saw probably the most awesome gif :

The first TF2 comic.

Bricks are being shat.
Also: Double update in the future? I'd say yes.

Oh the tragedy! I feel like the world is coming to an end! This story is having a huge twist so early! Nothing in my life will be the same after this! And I still refuse to accept that... I'm going bald.

Hair naturally falls off, but this time it's not growing back. It's been over a year since I first noticed something wasn't quite right. The forested area is still the same, however it's density that has significantly decreased - especially in the last two months or so. I look at the mirror and I can see my scalp and each individual hair. It has even acquired the same colour than the rest of my face. I'm trying to get used to the idea that in a year, my head will be as shiny as a bowling ball. I try to convince myself that Jason Statham gets all the chicks, but my mind replies it's the accent.

Further proof that this hasn't been a particularly great year for me.

Woke up this morning to this; 6" of snow, and ice rain.
My school was closed until 11:00AM, but incidentally, that's when my first class starts. I woke up at 8, got outside at 8:30, finished snow-blowing and clearing my car at 10, showered and ate by 10:20, got to school at 10:54.
The parking lot was only 1/4 of the way plowed, so i decided to do a few e-brake powerslides around the lot.
I got into my class and forgot that we had a test. After studying for about 19 seconds (listening to a friend of mine explain a circuit) i got an 84 on the test. After that, i wrote 2 lab reports, and had about 3 LAN matches of Call of Duty 2. All of which i won. By a spread of 20-25 kills.

TLDR: Snow day, but it was a good day.

Already some of you started your Christmas shopping, while others most likely will wait till the last minute to buy the gifts. Well, with that in mind, I came across this very interesting, but rather depressing story which I was not aware of.

Before you click on the link and start reading this messed-up story, please pay specific attention to the paragraphs related to the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Panasonic Lumix Cameras. Really, is any body here surprised by this corporate stupidity and greed?

This is your 4107th login.

I compiled my first Half-Life 2 prop model. WOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

Now I'll be able to make all kind of props for my machinimas that I'll want to produce ! This is so fucking cool !

Btw, my first model is a rock with basic uvmapping, made it in blender. The compiler calculated a mass of 18 kg.

Sorry but Softimage XSI tool is total "shite"(I just love the british version of shit more :X) compared to blender. At least for now, because I'm used to blender. Lol, I even don't know how to navigate in that program =))

Just finished Mirror's Edge. I gotta say that I enjoyed almost every moment as some parts proved to be annoying ("oh I missed the building by that much, start again. Hey I fell off again... start again"). It's linear progression was also a bit of a let down and so was it's short story line, but despite all of those, the overly bright style to it along with it's awesome soundtrack, Mirror's Edge was worth downloading buying... >_> I just would prefer if it wasn't linear; that there were more than just the one path of completing objectives.

Giving it 8.5/10

Got my wisdom teeth taken out today. Feels like they've been replaced with golf balls.

This shit is hardcore.
