Heres a rather interesting article I found today on the BBC. click me.

To me, it looks like this person has misinterpreted up the process of science as an idea of "secular religion". A somewhat odd idea really considering science and religion tend to be like rubber and glue.

The article seems to be somewhat ambiguous. I really don't know what else to say on it.

Well, i hate my father, he lied to me many times in the past, and even abused me and my mother, physically and mentally, Ive grown rebellious to him, he isn't happy, but i have found he has been lieing to me more lately. and i have DIS OWNED THE BASTARD. he can have fun with his new family. the 3 kids he only met 7 months ago, and his friend he hasn't seen in over 10 years. and then, after that, i found a nice page for flat life on half life library, to see someone left a nice comment about me. but i deleted it.

So I received another email from my contact to say they would like me to come down to some pub event for L4D 2.

"Basically zombies will be taking over a London pub, there?s going to be DJ?s and live bands (The Priscillas), some special guests and gaming pods. It?s basically going to be a fun night out with lots of alcohol, music and zombies."

Sadly I'm at uni from 6-6 and wouldn't have the energy but also because it's L4D 2 which I've already played and wasn't interested in.

Oh well. At least they care that I'm there.

(I've also realised that the people that contact me run a site that look out for bloggers and press so that they can literally "give" us content to write about by inviting us to events. So in other words, they'll probably invite me to all the games events they get.)

So... last night I did something I haven't done in a long time. I opened up a particular CSS map which happens to be a MOTM winner from a few months back, played for about 10 minutes, before opening up a blank document and started to sum up all the good points and bad points in a semi ammusing manner.

Basically, I reviewed it. I plan to read it out into a microphone soon too.

Time to get excited?

I recieved a pleasant phone call today. The man on the other end told me that my preordered retail copy of L4D2 would be available for pickup tomorrow morning, first thing. Apparently, the shipment arrived 2 days ahead of schedule and as it actually has no 'street release date,' they can sell it right now. Which means it coincides with the Steam release date so i'll be out there with the rest of them tomorrow.

See you there!

I'm sick. I mean, super sick. Friday at school, me and a couple of guys joked with swine-flu masks from the local pharmacy, but the joke turned out into illness... well, at least it's not swine flu.
The problem is, I live in a village, and my flu or whatever is this got very bad in just too days. I mean, Sunday I had around 38C, and whenever I stood up, when I moved my image blurred(epic effect).
Monday I finally got o the doctor, and they said I was close to injections.
Fortunately I have my meds now and I feel better, but still bad.

I made some progress with another gmod map. I initally started it with the ideea of creating a stadium, but it came out a ridiculously different map. I want to call it gm_abandonedfield, but even this name doesn't describe it well !
Maybe... gm_striker's_ridiculous-mapping_ideas :))

Holy Fuck.

My apartment has ghosts.

No lie.

I was going to sleep and my girlfriend was reading a book next to me on the bed, I caught a white hazy glowing figure move across the open door in the center of my living room. I was skeptical I had seen it and apparently she had seen it from the corner of her eye as well. As we were staring in confusion into the darkness of the living room, it passed by again the other direction, we both seen it plain as day.

I like it here <3

Well I thought I may aswell write a quick journal as I'm seriously bored, and in a very Half-lifey mood.

Hmm life at the moment, I'm just finishing year 12 now, one last exam to go! Hoping to study Civil Engineering next year at university. The exam is on thursday, its Sunday night at the moment, I really should be studying! On Friday til Monday, I have schoolies, (all school leavers in the state go to the same seaside town to party at a massive festival - similar to spring break for all you Americans out there, except its gonna be seriously insane!... can't wait!) then when I return, I hope to be very active with my mapping and the TWHL community along side working at Target alot, and getting drunk and partying :D

Well there we are, I'll post another one when I'm back from schoolies, see ya!!

This here is a good example when somebody has too much money and over pays for something that by principle, is way over priced in practical terms. Only on eBay will you see this elitist-driven shit happen: http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/rare-atari-game-sells-for-over-5-000/1372999
