I was forced to pirate my game just to play it.

Alright so today i decided to launch counter-strike source, no problem, so i simply double click on the game to launch, it launches, the window flashes for about a quarter of a second then it closes.

After that i tried running it again, no go, so i verify the gcf's, no go, i even defrag the gcf's, i checked "source engine.gcf" and guess what, it hasn't been fully acquired, now, when i verify a game, i expect it to TELL me that one of the gcf's has a problem, it didn't, so i delete "source engine.gcf" and restart steam.

Steam's fix is just simply amazing, it remakes the gcf in about half a second, and it remakes it broken again, i just simply have to say to valve "bravo for being lazy asses", right now i delted EVERY single gcf in my steamapps folder, i deleted my username folder as well, and am currently re-downloading the whole game again, which would be the only choice i have, other then downloading the gcf off of the pirate bay or something.

Now, if steam is so awesome and user friendly, why would they make it so that if i want to play my game, i re-download it?

How does that make ANY logical sense?

It makes as much sense as the fact that you HAVE to go online in order to play a game (yes i realize there is offline mode), not to mention the fact that hl2.exe still checks for the steam server, what would steam do if it found a connection? format my hardrive? download viruses to my computer?

It makes no sense for steam to check for the steam server's in offline mode, does it not trust me when i told it that i don't have a internet connection?

I am now downloading counter-strike source in hope that it doesn't grandly fuck up again, if not I'm uninstalling steam, i have had enough of the countless "this game is currently unavailable" messages, let alone the "steam servers are currently too busy to handle your request" messages.[/rant]

There, i said it, steam sucks.

EDIT: I guess i should be preparing for the "Your internet connection sucks, so it's not steams fault" crowd?

Oh, and the "You computer sucks it's not steam's fault"
or the
"Buy the game you pirate"
or
""Currently re-downloading" buy the game you idiot!"
or the
"You just don't know how to use steam, so you suck" crowd too.

Update: Steam is now un-installed.

Update2: Non-steam counter-strike source has also been installed, enjoying my pirated game without the hassle of steaming-pile-of-****, thank you very much valve.

^^ This is going to get me banned, but that's a good thing, i don't see any advantages to being in this place anyways, only disadvantages.

So, today i got caught wacking some moles with my wack-a-mole, which was my birthday present, so my parents weren't too happy about me unwrapping my present before my birthday.

DID I DO IT RITE?

Not a spam journal... A day ago i agreed to work on a mod with my friend called "quake: source" (i think that's what it was called), me and my friend play quake 3 arena quite often, and all of a sudden out of nowhere my friend just says "How neat would it be to make a quake 3 mod for source?"

So, we just kinda "dived in" to the thing...

I wonder if it'll last, it damned better, else all the work of making that damn machine gun will go to waste (i know the machine gun is pretty easy, but it took me 3 attempts before i figured out id's "secret" as to how they made the damned thing)

We have also encountered a couple of problems on the way, mapping, blaze says he can't make a remake without a "goood flythrough of the map", he can't simply walk around in singleplayer with no bots and base it off that.

textures, copyright.

sounds, copyright.

and oh what do you know, MOAR FUZZIN COPYRITE.

Today i installed windows 7, this time instead of a vm, i used a partition so i could actually use it for something.

I just so happened to notice the wsr and gave it a shot, after a frustrating 30 minutes of trying to get it to do something, i decided to write a little something in notepad.

This time did you write once upon a time there's a very CCREPPIE speech recognition software called windows speech recognition you does not work.

If you attempt to open up at what is it will not work it will say what was that? And therefore he lost the opening itself for it does not know how to open notepad it does not know how to do anything!

If you do offer attempt to do something like to call with it you wind up doing it yourself you cannot simply tell it to do something and it will do it it will once again ask what was that?

And it also eases up a set of a large amount of your res Computer Resources see better have at least 30,000 pages of at.

This concludes my bomb went above a stupid program that was made in Windows Vista and windows seven thank you for reading a line by line is we've made in windows speech recognition software.

What i was trying to say at the end was it was made in speech recognition software itself, but that screwed up.

Anyways, i hope you got a laugh at this, this time i'll see if i can make it correctly :>

EDIT: Second attempt, failed damn horribly.

Once upon a time that there's a very stupid program but not to which one is to even make the toll to two.

It's a very stupid program on national and it's a.

Had to say is a monster but program I've ever come across.

Tara even though it sometimes gets things write it never gets some of

I can see why this program is made of people can just type

It in an EM Keenan union of the Ethel to see why this program is made for people can just season OPS

In fact you cannot even watch program without a keyboard or mouse

But fail to see the point of this new tests are but that's not the point

Bill to see the point of this tiny little microphone button and I'm listening and the status bar floor speech recognition

At one day it one day this program will be made to a vacant and people will think they like it

But right now people for a very neat and ease of a day that program that

Maybe someday we'll have two when told will not do when not to let

Thank you for listening to my rant about this race race to beat solely program that is made a bad people they're very bad guy comes with a spare and windows seven.

3 days of supposedly pwning my friend in tf2, here i come

EDIT:

Just found a comp in the trash, turns out to be a L500cx

It's got about 500 mhz processer, 320 mbs of ram, a onboard video card that seems to be pretty powerful, and a 10 gig hd.

Oh and it also has windoze xp on it (kinda chokes with only 320 mbs ram :S)

I don't plan on doing it for "serious gaming", just a comp to play counter-strike in my room at night, and it seems to be doing a pretty good job of it.

It also came with a microsoft mouse identical to the one i am using right now, and 2 speakers.

Who would throw out something like that, it works perfectly, and it also has a cd burner\writer in it.

Well, I've decided to start my mod "interest" again, only this time I'm going to keep the source safe with somebody, incase if i have to reformat, so i won't lose all my work (i don't have any blank cds or anything like that to save to)

And this time, I'm going to release a alpha, and maybe, just maybe I'll make the mod open source, but i fail to see what ppl would really use my mod for.

Admittedly, i am baffled as how I'm going to fix a small missing animation bug for the metro-police, where if they are using my special stunstick weapon, and you shoot them, they can't use the stunstick, and they have no animation.

I love twhl, crysis styleThanks fold, for the idea

I had to reformat because of a bsod that appeared everytime you started windows, now i lost everything, interest, half life 2, counter strike source, crysis, 3ds max, EVERAY THING!!! >:(

Cod4 > Half-life 2 > Big rigs over the road racing > Half life 1 > Crysis

Discuss.

Anyways, I've re-installed raven shield in hopes to a moddablitity, and it works, but i can't import the damn texture for my imported model! >:(

Today i installed rainbow six vegas 2 only to find out it's un-moddable! >:(

Pengy closed the newspost on twhl getting hacked.

THAT BLOWS! >:(

God i fucking hate steam.

EDIT: "This game is currently unavailable" Bull fucking god damn horseshit.

I'm never going to even get a chance to think about working on the mod at this pace.

I'm bored, so I'm going to throw this out at you people that half hl2dm, get a mod called "ballmen", and join the only server on the list (67.52.208.168:27051)

Me and my friend blaze will be there, if not blaze, then just me.

Luck just so happens to be coming right at my way, first i managed to compile the hl2 code alone, and now I've sucessfully created a placeholder weapon for my mod.Ignore the fullbright map.

EDIT: Watch for further journals as i will be posting wip models for my mod, ect ect.

Merged journal:

Guess what, i just got a new model for my (placeholder) weapon, the "Powner weaponz"It looks quite ugly, but hey, i didn't assign any uv's to it, and it turned out pretty well for a untextured weapon!

EDIT: just a quick note, all the coding, modeling, and mapping was done by me, i didn't get any help other then setting up visual c++ to work with hl2.

--------------- Old Journal -----------------

I worked for several hours, and i finally got the message I've been waiting for.

Build: 2 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped

m0p deserves all the credit, i gave up after i got about 4 different linking errors and then a miracle happened, he found the solution.

Man those have got to be the most frustrating hours of my life.

Thanks m0p, for kindly guiding me through to the end

EDIT: new barrel model EDIT: Iron sights ftw!No, it's not a animation, it's pretty darn accurate, i had to spend several minutes trying to get it correctly looking down the sights.
