Happy fuckin new years
I explored more on fighting glitch trainers in pokemon blue (on an actual cartridge! haha)
This video will show you what the 'default' glitch trainer's battle lineup is. However, by fighting other trainers before meeting the glitch trainer you can change their party. There's a list of possible glitch trainer parties but I only had time to meet 3 of them. One of which was the L111 drowzee that I can never beat.
My team (all pokemon are around levels 30-35)
Hitmonlee
Kabuto
Aerodactyl
Charmeleon
Haunter
Hypno
L12 poliwag for surfing
Glitch Trainer parties I met so far (in addition to the one in the video):
L111 drowzee (pwned my entire party)
L14 Nidoran♀
L14 Magneton
L14 Charizard ´M
L14 Gastly
L14 Grimer
L14 Missingno
--
L42 Rhyhorn
L42 Arcanine
L42 Missingno
L42 Clefairy
L42 Mewtwo
L42 Missingno.

- A low level party. I breezed thru them with my level 30's. I heard bad things about charizard 'M but he only used ember and weak moves, luckily.

- A decently challenging party (notice the Mewtwo!) Their levels are a bit higher than mine but good thing the AI sucks in this game!
- I had a bit of trouble with Rhyhorn since he knocked out my hitmonlee. But I used a max revive and hitmonlee's double kick managed to top the Rhyhorn.
- Arcanine was ok. I used Aerodactyl who only had wing attack but has rock-type resistance to physical attacks. In the final moment Arcanine used Take Down on me but died from recoil LOL
- Missingno's have very poor defense so they were easy to take out. The clefairy wasn't much hassle either (used defense curl lol)
- When I saw the Mewtwo I was like OH SHIT and switched to hypno who can tank Psychic in case he decided to use it. He didn't. Or rather, I didn't give him the chance to because I quickly put it to sleep with Hypnosis. Then finished it off.
So back in October I started writing a blog from the perspective of a beggar in Skyrim. A beggar who cannot actually beg due to the games limited flexibility with dialogue. The concept was quite similar to the Living in Oblivion and The Elder Strolls blogs by Christ Livingston. I posted 3 days worth back in October, then stopped for some reason.

The reason I am posting about it now is because during the Steam sale I bought the Hearthfire DLC (allows you to build your own house for those not in the know) and I decided that Bob could try his hand at building his own place, all the while avoiding too much excitement and combat.
Anyway, I would appreciate if you let me know what you think and really if it is worth me spending any more time on it.
Cheers.

In the last couple of weeks we have been struggling to find a coder and have begun coding ourselves. Fortunately, we have found a temporary coder who will help us ship out the demo hopefully within a week. Currently, the mod refuses to work with Steam (this will be fixed ASAP) and we were dying to test out some maps over MP. This lead to us using WON2 and so far it has been a blast. After the experience of getting WON2 to work, it has been decided that we will host a WON2 and Steam server when we go live. Also included in this upcoming demo along with new weapons and maps, is the revised Downzone! The first released content from Bloodbath, now is back and better than ever including new traps. Stay tuned!
That's it for this blog post. Be sure to check out Bloodbath Softworks and Dethklan Games!

My son got a portal gun for Christmas.
Well it's Christmas folks, how are you enjoying your day? Get anything interesting?
I got some game related t shirts, a freeview box for my old TV, Dark Knight Rises, the rest of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (had no money to buy season 3-7), a book called A Street Cat Named Bob and some money to go towards a new PC next year.
As I write this I can smell the turkey...mmmmmm

The 'Babylon 5 I've Found Her' game forums are down. Cause unknown yet. Why everything good always gets blasted apart from time to time?

So me and my drunk friends decided that going to midnight mass would be a good idea..
we're all atheist, and we went in , at the minute the reverend said "And let us be silent as we listen to the bells of christmas", and one of our friends was laughing hysterically. We left shortly afterwards.
It's fun being young

'Twas the night before Christmas

So happy holidays
I wish you good cheer.

As usual, I'm working on Christmas eve, so as usual, I've driven for an hour to now sit in an empty office and browse the net for 8 hours before the hour drive home again.
Utterly bloody pointless.

Happy Doomsday everyone!
I just played an EP2 mod called Black Snow, because it was one of the moddb nominees. Before playing, I did NOT look at any of the media and therefore have no idea what type of mod this is. I was wondering whether Combine soldiers will show up while staring at the loading screen for this mod.
There are spoilers up ahead. But I kept most of it vague. It should be alright.
Anyway you play a Japanese dude, I think. He was part of a small assessment team sent to a research facility in the frozen snow when they failed to report for a week. Reminds me of that one mission from Condition Zero Deleted Scenes, where the Spetznaz was sent in to a Siberian nuclear silo when the scientists failed to report in. So basically, I thought there would be like Combine terrorists that attacked the facility and I would have to take them down with stock HL2 weapons. No big deal.
Well a few minutes into the mod and I was the last guy alive. The gameplay turned out to be mainly puzzles and there was this axe that couldn't be taken because it electrocutes me. It was strange that the assessment team wasn't even equipped with weapons but that's too bad. It took me about 10 minutes to get out of the first building.
It was a dark and snowy night. Forlorn and abandoned, the setting instantly reminded me of a movie called The Thing. Going in a snowstorm from building to building to find your way out. In fact, the entire storyline of the game (revealed thru logs and emails) seems to be very similar to The Thing (remake). The puzzles get really hard, but only because I got so thoroughly scared that I was too afraid to go into some of the rooms.
Is this mod scary? I got pretty scared with this, even though mods like Grey didn't scare me much at all. Well, for one, scripted jump scares are not around much. The only jumping you'll be doing is when the Things attack you, because you'll never see them coming. What kind of Things are these? Well if the title of the mod means anything, then you can surely imagine.
As good this this mod may sound right now, I am obliged to give you both sides of the picture. Even as a moddb nominee, there are loads of problems with this mod that I suspect will prevent it from getting the honors, some of which are listed below: (spoilers, kept vague just for you)
Anyway about this mod. It is pretty scarey for me. You do not have a flashlight or NVG or anything like that, so when staring at a darkened room you should expect the worst. Those Things are pretty nasty: think of them as invisible silent scouts with Force-a-Natures----the knockback is atrocious.
I got REALLY paranoid while playing this. I think you should try it out just because it is kinda different from your average HL2 horror mod. No weapons, no flashlight. Kinda like Amnesia? I dunno. I never played that. The only thing I know about Amnesia is that you have to hide in the closet or something.

- Number one problem: way too short and has an unfinished feel (think Residual Life, but worse)
- A very difficult section involving a 'moving' light that apparently is not essential for progressing thru the mod
- Being able to get trapped by Things in a storage room or something similar (no auto-heal, you can only heal at heaters, some of which are inconveniently broken)
- An unreliable inventory screen that does not display all the items you have
- Some doors inexplicably open when you get something completely unrelated to it, while other inexplicably close and trapping you in with the Things (scary, isn't it?)
- Having to depend on an extremely limited number of flares (Like in EP1, except you have NO defensive weapons or protective girlfriend whatsoever)

Today I saw an interesting movie trailer at the movies today. Now, I can't remember what the movie was called, but the premise was that humanity fought giant extra-dimensional aliens from a portal on the ocean floor using giant mech-suits. These suits had an onboard computer; GLaDOS.
By which I mean it was obviously voiced by Ellen McLain. Using the same tone. And the same post-process effects. I was watching it with friends, and I turned to the one out of the group assembled today who had played Portal. Her reaction?
"Is that GLaDOS?"
Oh, also The Hobbit pt 1 was entertaining and the people freaking out about it running at 45FPS are full of it.

I've used a Plantronics Gamecom 367 for 2 years, but a couple of months ago the headband broke, and I've been using electrical tape on them ever since. Needless to say, one of the cups doesn't firmly sit on my ear anymore, and I can feel the broken part pushing on my head.
I'm planning on getting a new headset for Christmas. I'm targeting these: Pioneer SE-M290. They seem to offer good quality for a very convenient price. The downside is that they lack a microphone.
Any opinions/suggestions?
