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.

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 :

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 =))

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 :))

As many of you already posted, I feel bad too. I caught a cold. But my mom felt horrible the other days, so I might caught it from her.

Oh, I measured myself today to see how taller than 1 year ago ( when I had 1,84 m) I am. I'm now 1,9 :D. I drink a lot of milk :D

Start pre-loading L4D 2 Demo. I know I don't have the money to buy it, but I surely can't miss the chance to play a mp with you guys.

[EDIT] I discovered this site randomly, I was bored. The pictures tell more than the words do : http://www.chinahush.com/2009/10/21/amazing-pictures-pollution-in-china/

Oh oh oh...

I'm in a state of dreariness( or melancholia or how do you say it in english). For the jerks who only know the word "emo", I'm not in that kind of state, I have nothing to do with "emo".
And nostalgia too. I look at photographs with me at the age of 13( that's when I joined TWHL, I'm now 16) and feel so bad that I can't turn back in that time... what a wonderful holiday I had, I was so childish and could do whatever I wanted. Life was fun. Really fun. The nature was not so polluted ( I mean in my area) like it is now. I almost cry.

Please, somebody make it possible to travel in time !
Oh fuck it, I hope I get over this quickly. It's my obsession of thinking about the time that passes too fast.
Grammar nazis, if you don't want to vomit don't read this. Oups, too late.

Well, I've been missing from TWHL for a day(not that somebody cares anyway). I didn't had internet. In fact, I couldn't start the pc. In fact, I didn't had lights too. In fact, the whole village didn't had electricity. In fact, 5-6 villages from around here didn't had electricity and I don't know if it was a coincidence or not, but aprox. 50 km away there was still no electricity.
Reason : IT FUCKING SNOWS. Actually, it snowed, now it stopped. But there were also powerful winds and because of that, a tree in the near forest dropped over the high voltage lines, breaking a pole.

I learned at the light of 3 candles. How romantic is that huh? I felt like 1800'.

[EDIT] I also bought some headphones( 20hz-20,000 khz but the actual frequency starts from somewhere around 30 hz, I tested this with a tone in audacity) with a microfone. They arrived monday. The transport was free. I'm now more professional. That's what a friend told me at least =))

In my previous journal I said I just finished Crysis.
Well, know that I'm now a Crysis mapper. I'm on my way making my first map( it's kinda like a test map with all sorts of stuff).

Compared to hl\hl2 mapping, crysis mapping is awesomely fun.
Especially because there's no compilation process. You just press ctrl+g and the 3D view instantly becomes your play view.

I just finished Crysis. Damn I feel bad, I wanted to be longer. This game is awesome. It somehow reminds me about Delta Force ( ?!).

Played it on normal difficulty, even so it's somehow hard. The last part of it was full of saves and reloadings , until a text appeared on the screen : "Tip : You can alter the difficulty from the options menu" or something like that. But I kept playing it on normal :))

My system lets me play it on 1280x1024 , medium settings with high here and there ( like sound, volumetric effects etc), dx9 at a fps between 30-42.

I'm trying to figure out how to install dx10 on windows xp, I heard it's possible ( yes I have a dx10 compatible card...)

Weird. I feel weird. Maybe it's because the weather is suddenly changing into worse ? Don't know.
My life since the school started was absolutely normal. I get free time instead of math classes because last week my math teacher's fingers got chopped off from the left hand, today the biology professor came with an red eye ( looks like terminator) to school... a geography teacher will give birth in 1 month, same for an informatics teacher, but in 4-5 months...
Oh, oh, and the teacher that understands me the most. It's the physics teacher.
Me: "Oh, but theacher, isn't this supposed to be like blablabla"
Teacher: "Very good !"
Teacher: "And Avogadro's number is 6,023*10^26"
Me:" But teacher, at chemistry we learned 6,023*10^23"
Teacher:"Very good !"

....

I downloaded some c++ tutorials and books. If I can't learn the natural way c++, I'm gonna force myself to learn c++. Maybe my problem is the lack of concentration\boredom\laziness.

I also managed to make a solar reflector from some cardboard and aluminum foil. The only problem is that the foil is not stretched and it didn't reflect very well (I wanted to be more like a concave mirror) the sun beams. Even like that, the thermometer indicated 32 degrees C ( it was only 20 degrees C without the solar reflector). I plan on doing this on larger scales. I actually have a parabolic antenna that I want to use. I hope just not to put something on fire( it's like 1,5 in diameter).

I tried making a couple of artistic photos using my cellphone (3.2 MP) and my old car.
Here's a link :

I don't feel ok. Psychologically, I mean. I have strange feelings that make me want to cry somehow. I don't know. It's like being 16 is the most beautiful part of the life... and I would like to stay so. But time passes inevitably. I have 3 years of school left... the most beautiful years of my life... are passing rapidly.
