I'm not sure if any of you ever play Runescape once but I used to be a huge fan of that game when I was a kid and I still play it once in a while just to chat with friends. Now, wouldn't it be cool if players are given guns instead of swords? What about Havok physic rather than animated death sequences? Oh oh, how about all those funky awesome shaders with HDR and bloom? rather than those boring pixel bland world? There have been couple of Runescape levels release for Half Life but I'm not sure about Half Life 2. Anyway, I present you the screenshot of Doric's place, where you met that ugly little dwarf in his lonely shack and his anvils.
I thought it would be great to bring certain Runescape location to Source just to have players go crazy on it. Anyway, enough of chitchat about Runescape.
I don't recall how many kill streaks I got a couple days ago but I'm assuming it was 23 or 27 kill streaks with my sniper class. Godlike :D. What I wish CoD4 would have is dismemberment and gore. Lot of them. It's boring to see blood popped out behind their head when you headshot them with .50 Cal. Honestly, a .50 Cal Barret sniper rifle would blow their head in to pieces or tear their arms off. When I see stuff like that it give me adrenaline and make the game much more reason to play. Now I feel like you're thinking I'm a psycho or somewhere along those line.
So yeah.. Playing CoD4 on my PS3 is really fun. If anyone wanna play with me, then add 'prototstar'.
Oh, and about Operation Black Mesa, website is finally up. We're still in the progress of updating our forums.

Damn! I missed my 500th login. Oh well. I just wait for the thousanth.
I've bought a new laptop, specs:
Intel Core2Duo processor T9300 (2.5 Ghz, 800 Mhz FSB, 6MB L2 Cache)
4GB DDR2 Ram
500gb HDD (2x 250gb)
Geforce 9500M GS 512Mb
18.4" HD LCD (1080P)
Bluray
With this rig I have officially moved on to using Vista. So far I think it's pretty okay, there are a few things that bug me, but nothing major.

The Dark Knight officaly opens today, July 18th.
I was lucky enough to have seen the midnight show last night, and I must say, it was totally worth it.
The first huge thing that stands out in the new Batman movie series directed by Christopher Nolan is the great acting. This second movie of his is no exception.
The acting was absolutely fantastic, and it's a real shame Heath Ledger had to die, because he's my new favorite actor.
If he doesn't win some for of a award, I'll be kinda disappointed, because he's simply brilliant. Playing the Joker was a role made for him. He went all out on the part, and I must say, it shows. From he maniac of a laugh, to his anger he gets when he's called crazy, it's all just pure genius.
Heath Ledger also made The Joker my new favorite villain.
Christian Bale brings back the greatness, too. You've seen how great he is in Batman Begins, and he's great in the Dark Knight. I can't really say much more than that, because if you've seen the first film, you'd know what I'm talking about.
Besides those two, also making a triumphant showing is Aaron Eckhart, who plays Harvey Dent, and later Two-Face. At first he plays a citie's District Attorney, and later into a crazed vigilante. He plays both parts very well, and his great acting makes the transformation that much better.
The second thing that stands out in Nolan's rendition is the story. This movie has one of the best, if not THE best story in a movie I've seen all year. There's no holes to be seen, just flat out great story telling. I really hope the Nolan brothers continue what they've started and don't change a thing. It's simply too perfect.
This also fixes what a lot of the old stories had. In the old Batman movies, there was something like 3 or 4 villains per movie you had to keep track of (correct me if I'm exagerating, there was a lot, though). This sort of seems that way, but in the end, there was only 2: The Joker and Two-Face.
I would tell a bit of a story, but I'm always one to post spoilers and not mean to, and that would just suck on your part.
One thing I noticed this time around is the setting. In Batman Begins, sure, Gotham looked a little bit like New York. It had some more "epic-ness" to it, however. This time I really didn't see a difference between New York and Gotham. Not sure how significant that is, just something I noticed.
I probably have a lot more to say, but I can't think of anything, so I'll let my numbers speak for me.
Story - 10/10
Acting - 10/10
It seems like there's something else I'd put there... whatever.
Highly recommended. Go spend your 9 or 10 dollars, or if you're really up for it, spend your 20 dollars on IMAX, it's totally worth every penny.

No, my house didn't burn down. Had to stay in a high-end hotel suite for two or three nights (pure torture!) but we got back into our home like a week ago. Haven't been around on TWHL for some reason... Here's a photo I took from the top of a nearby hill the day we got back. Enjoy! (Woo high res):
In other news: I'm moving in a month to what will be our third house in three and a half years. That's got nothing to do with the fire.

My first day of work
So i bought audiosurf yesterday, damn that's an addicting game, and i feel proud of being on of the few who has played Benny hill
My life is so crazy right now, I not long ago finished my GCSE's and I'm waiting for the results, It's so nerve racking! I hope I did well, I really need to get into college...
But apart from that, I'm playing a show in a Town Hall (Big Stage) this Sunday (13/07/08) at 2pm with my band, and that's making me pretty nervous too. Why does there have to be so many things making me nervous?
I've stopped mapping completely for the time being, I've stopped alot of things actually! I've been going out and spending more time with my friends and spending slighlty less time infront of my PC.
And to top it off, I'm going to visit Huntey next Saturday (19/07/08) which will be in Scotland, so I'm deciding wether or not to be nervous about that since I won't be able to understand anyone.
So yeah, I can't wait for this to all be over, I think it's time I start spending more time with friends...

I just found this site today.
It's like TWHL for doctors. I joined right away and jumped into the discussion.

I had a dentist appointment today. It was a total waste of time and gasoline. I went for a scheduled check up. Everything was fine. I wants my 2 hours life back. NOW.
