Well I tried smoking. I felt really bad, psychologically speaking, as if I violated on one of my principles... but to be honest, I knew that someday I'd have to satisfy this curiosity.
I concluded that it's nothing really special, other than having the traditional effects of a first-time smoker like feeling a bit high. I've read that nicotine actually has some of the caffeine effects, like making you feel more focused and aware(although I don't understand how that works when you're actually also inhaling carbon monoxide, which basically disrupts the hemoglobin's ability to carry oxygen).
It's more of a social thing in my perception...
I still have some questions though. How do you actually inhale the smoke? I'm confused on this apparently simple part. Do I suck the smoke in my mouth, get out the cigarette, and then inhale air? Or do I directly inhale the smoke in my lungs?
I also tried cigarettes with no filter(those that look like a cigar). Holy crap, those blasted me.
And another issue, what's so wrong with cigars(it's easy in English to confuse cigars for cigarettes, at least for me) that you must not inhale the smoke into your lungs? What's the point of smoking a cigar then?
What are the best type of cigarettes when you want something more special? I've heard about vanilla or menthol aroma ones... what about brands?
I feel weird...
[EDIT] Ah, almost forgot about this! What about effective methods of getting rid of cigarette smoke, especially on the fingers?

I have a new showreel and would dearly appreciate your opinions!

Well, now we're out of Cairns, and are in Tully. It's quite a small place.
We're living in port-a-cabins at the hospital where my dad now works, as apparently the original hospital accommodations blew down in the last cyclone.
The accommodation has WiFi, which is good, but my laptop is missing the wireless card drivers, which is bad. I think I managed to download them all in the 5 minutes before we left the house in Ireland, so all I need to do is install them.

Have I ever said how much I love the Steam overlay you can bring up in games? Because, I do. Alot. Whatever genius thought this up should get a raise.
Well, I just graduated high-school today. In the next weeks I'll be going to different exams for the baccalaureate. Wish me luck!
Gosh, it was an odd combination of tears, happiness and sadness... It's hard to accept the fact that we leave our colleagues, our second family...

EDIT 2: So the power went off yesterday, just tried it again and its working now. Hammer is worse than a spoiled child I tell you!
EDIT: The entire Source SDK, forgot to mention that. Also tried verifying ingegrity and it all checked out.
ORIGINAL POST: This probably isn't for a journal, but fuck it, I'm tired and I just wanna map something.
Hammer is no longer working for me, it gets stuck at the 'Hammer' on-screen logo. Is it broken or is it just me?

At the moment I am in a departure lounge in Singapore, and I'm waiting to board a plane bound for Australia.
I'll be there with my dad and brother for 2-3 months, as the job money is good, and we'd like to visit our hometown again. Although for the first month we will be in the small town of Tully, in north Queensland. After that we will be going to the equally small town of Proserpine, also in Queensland, as that is the town where I spent my childhood.
It will be the first time I've been in the country for a decade.
I'm kind of nervous about it, as pretty much all of my old friends moved out of the town as soon as High school ended, so it will be months basically in the middle of nowhere, but we should end up going to the beach and stuff, so it could be fun.

Ugh... clients.
From an email received today:"I can't give you an example of what I want at the moment but I need this up and running ASAP as I am in the middle of a major presentation tomorrow."
...I don't even know where to start with that sentence. However, I am kind of impressed that he is currently in the middle of something that hasn't happened yet.

...Shit happens!... 
So, I played through Gut Reaction again after about 10 years or so. Pretty old mod for Half-Life and a classic in my opinion.
Rather than uploading the entire thing I made a sort of highlights reel containing only the entertaining parts of my play through. (I listen to feedback sometimes
)

Hey guys, been a while eh? I think I write that everytime I come here. I bet if I loaded up journals I'd see the same opening...
Anywho, I thought I'd share a fan made project I worked on for the last few months. I dunno if some of you are familiar with an old SNES game called Chrono Trigger? It was a well received game back in the day and it still has a cult following.
Well I only recently played it and I understood why people loved it. So I thought I'd use the power of nostalgia as a means of gaining some reputation on the internet. I purposely chose to remake "The Kingdom of Zeal" in 3D as the song that plays in the original game has a huge fan base. It's called Corridors of Time and there are tons of remixes on Youtube alone.
So I remade the Kingdom of Zeal but I didn't stop there. I decided to make it in the style of Zelda: Wind Waker. A nice way to gain attention dont you think?
Anyway if you're here for the link, here you go: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vMHSiYiB55s
Hope you enjoy it. I'm gonna sit out in the sun for the next month after spending so much time working on this XD
Good to be back on TWHL by the way!

A whole day spent at configuring Source SDK.
