Archie's recent GTAIV video did not demonstrate clearly enough how much I seem to hate my own face. Here are some more clips from the same session.

On the fence about buying Duke Nukem Forever or just simply not getting it?
Why not watch the SnC Playthrough starring myself. Experience the game without paying a penny.

Addicted to Minecraft, bbl.
The link is here if you want to vote for these guys ( I will be forever grateful if you do )
For the past few months i've been following a band called XAVIA , they've got this really cool but quirky style of like a mix of Pendulum and Muse, which makes for some pretty good tracks. Last week or so they got into a competition where pretty much the band with the most votes gets to play the main stage at a festival called the Wickerman , based around the pagan ritual. If everybody would be awesome enough to vote for these guys , then we'll be able to get them yet even more in the spotlight and get more people knowing about them.

I'm not a fan of Apple products, but this was entertaining to watch:

You know what sucks about today's world? Everything revolves around money, EVERYTHING. It seems like all the rich people have lost the big picture and only think about themselves. Scratch that, it doesn't seem like that, thats how it is. We are paying actors billions of moneys to make us sit on our asses and rot. And paying our teachers $15.00 an hour to make sure we don't all turn out like shit. Now normally I wouldn't complain. But I saw something really cool I might have thought about getting in the near future when I get a job, when I saw the damn price tag on it, now yes, I realize this is a High-End object. But the price is ridiculous. I can't believe the stuff people charge for some things. I realize I'm only 15 and you all will just take a shit on my opinion, but you all have to realize its time someone made this bullshit end, I'm middle class, but were barely making it. No one cares for middle and lower class, only rich people matter anymore, and its bullshit. Flame me and whatever bullshit below in your comments. But I know I'm not the only one who isn't completely fucking stupid.
Just got started on another Portal 2 map.

Sprited a Huntey too! This was my first time spriting a Huntey.
Ever wanted to see what a lightning storm in a volcanic ash cloud looks like?

Caught a Level 80 ▀▓ ’M ▓░ today in Pokemon Blue. It has really high attack stats but the defense stat is horrifically pathetic. Seriously any Lvl 20 rattata with hyper fang can take it out in 1 hit. And I thought I could battle real people using these guys.
I tried to trade it to Gold and in the trade screen it appeared as a slowpoke. But when I tried to trade it said "you're friend's slowpoke is abnormal" and wont let me trade. So I went back in Blue and rammed a rare candy down the thing's throat, and it evolved into kangaskhan. Great an Lvl 81 kangaskhan with water gun and sky attack. Taught it Hyper beam with one of my 120 TM's to make it look better. Then I traded the 'kangaskhan' to gold. It worked.
SO THEN I went to try out my new Lvl 81 'khangaskhan' and fought a Lvl 30 wild pokemon. After beating it, my kangaskhan leveled up to 82! Then up to 83! Then 84! 85! 86! 87! 88! 89! 90! ...100! ...120! ...200! ...255! 14! 24! 34... And then Player shut off the gameboy.

New video card as of Friday, due to the last one sh*tting itself. Not sure what it is, I didn't buy it. Though I do recollect some things along the lines of AMD Radeon 6800, or something along those lines.
Whether or not that's considered good, first time I loaded up L4D, I was suprised at how smooth it was playing 'til I remembered that there was a new video card at all.
Oh yeah, Need For Speed Hot Pursuit works now too. Guess it just really was time to update.

( And no, it wasn't a bhuddist ceremony... seriously )
Anyway yeah, I got married. Go me!
Mega congrats to Urby who got married yesterday for the third time.
The Buddhist ceremony was beautiful and the happy couple shared the first dance to Black Eyed Peas - The Time (Dirty Bit) before driving off into the sunset in a sunflower yellow Ford Explorer.
I'm sure he's too hungover to post anything himself for a couple of days, so let's leave him some nice messages here for when he comes back

New computer time! My previous PC died rather unexpectedly the other day, and since I was planning to upgrade sometime this year anyway, I got myself a new rig.
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II 1100T (Six core)
GPU: Nvidia GTX 570
RAM: 8GB
The case I chose out is a really nice full tower case made by a company called 'Fractal Design' (info page here):
And finally, a picture of the computer itsef:

What a full week I had!
I was busy working on projects, but I went on a well deserved trip to a thermal spa resort, the best one in my country actually. I kinda got cooked in the sun. Yeah, I forgot to put sun lotion but I wasn't very worried either because I was mostly swimming in the deep pools. Turns out I was wrong. Even now, my skin hurts(it was a horrible pain the next day after the trip). I had incredible fun on the water slides too. I love to make huge water splashes :D.
I also played some field tennis and table tennis( I suck at table tennis though).
Thursday I went to the photography awards for the the local photo competition that was carried some weeks ago. Heh, most of the photos there really sucked and even the organizer had to classify them as "mediocre". I think there were 2 guys who owned a DSLR and made a couple of superb photos. I couldn't exceed them. I know it's being said that the photographer, not the tool matters but... you just can't ignore the quality output of a 1/2.3 inch sensor(my camera) with a APSC or something like that( like 23.6 x 15.8 mm for example) size sensor.
Anyway, I won the second place for diverse photography and second place again for black&white:

I am also a bit stressed because next week I will have my last hours of instructed driving, the driving exams are following and I am not so confident in my knowledge and driving skills.
Well, not a bad week at all. If only every week of this summer would be like that and I could find myself a summer job... Life deserves to be lived at its fullest.
