My son is not quite eighteen months old, but he can already identify the various parts of a computer--CPU, PSU, graphics card, etc.

Wow. I've been going through some of my old forum posts and realised what a jerk I was back then. Admittedly, I'm still a jerk sometimes, but I like to think that I'm better than I was. I will continue to strive to remove all jerkiness, but you might have to be patient. :)

I've only really gotten better over the past year, so, for the times I was a jerk to you, the reader, I apologise. Please forgive me for being a twat.

In other news, I have a big programming project that has been in the works for about 6 months now. Some people (who join IRC every now and then) know of it, and I hope that it will be useful to everyone. I might announce it this month or next month, depending on how well I go. Please, if you do know what it is, don't spoil the surprise for everyone else! (Also, to those people who already know, if you catch me on IRC, there's some updates you might enjoy seeing)

Also, I've always wanted to use "pants" as an insult.

People who abuse exploits in Left 4 Dead are pants.

Did I do it right, British people? It's a British term, isn't it? I'm so confused right now.

Awww yeah! I finally got my hands on an elusive copy of "Left 4 Dead"!

So, anyone wanna play a game with me?

Also, this is a little late, but happy new year! Woo!

Another thing to add. My uncle finally arrived, and one funny thing I learnt from him was that, a few years ago he was featured on the show "Salesmen from Hell" Show. For those who want to see him, search it on Youtube and look for the segment where they show a man teaching other salesmen how to "lie to customers". He's the teacher :D

New Year is coming up!

Come New Years eve, my aunts friends and long lost uncle (who is a chronic alcoholic, meaning we gotta hide all the booze). 5 minutes on the phone and he's already making rather bizarre claims (here's one clue on one of his claims. He was indirectly responsible for 'making men's assholes bigger' as he put it).

Oh my.

Christmas is down, New Year's now.

I got a macbook (for college) Windows <3
Studio speakers
Synth keyboard
Logic Pro 8

So I can finally get an edge on my class in college, also lets me record my drums now. Sweet! I don't have anything planned for New Years yet, not sure if I have the confidence to leave me room after what happened yesterday.

Women are animals.

You don't often see a real snowman sitting in front of yard during a hot sunny day, do you?

I was biking and accidentally came across my group of friends playing around with snow they brought over from Big Bear.

Sorry I didn't wish you all Merry Christmas on the 24th. :( Hope you all had a nice celebration though.

My dad is still giving me shit, constantly giving me hell and telling me to 'be better than everyone out there' which I alway think, is an impossible goal for anyone...

Winter break is pretty boring most of the time, my family doesn't celebrate any holiday since it seem unnecessary. There aren't much for me to do beside sleep, eat, watch TV or go on PC. However I thought that I should change that habit this year and decided to be much more active. I would bike around my entire town for an hour or try to ride to another nearby town.

Breakdancing is pretty cool. I picked up on it just about almost a week ago. Been practicing on it from half an hour up to four hours with few minutes brake. It's pretty fun. I was able to finally able to drop and do baby freeze in an instant and flexes my legs around. Still trying to work on handglide, Cwalk, 3 steps, and 6 steps.

Won't be long until school open again around mid-January. Hopefully I'll be in good shape by then. :)

Good luck with the New Year Eve, fellows!

That exterior shot is the most WIP of them all. It's currently missing a skybox, the grass is too bright, and going through some props, but that's mostly all fixed now.

I've had to make a few changes to the layout in order to finish it (it probably would've stayed dead if I had to build as much as originally planned), so outdoors is going to be a little more compressed than I would've liked. But, it should work okay considering the size of the volcano interior.

More updates later.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Enjoyable Kwanza, and peace on earth and goodwill towards men. Exept when they're infected with a mutated rabies virus, controlled by a parasitic alien, or are a brain-washed cyborg.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TWHL!!!!!
