I fractured both my heels Saturday.
My girlfriend got a new place near her university. Naturally I moved in. We threw a little party Saturday to celebrate being on our own. Sometime during the night, my girlfriend stated "I haven't been in the attic yet." Naturally we take that as an open invitation to go exploring. We find some trinkets left behind from the old owners; clothin, plates, plastic coconut-shaped bowling ball. At the end of the attic, there's a window. That window looks over the garage. Naturally, again, I climb out said window onto the roof of the garage.
I then decide its a great idea to jump off the roof while nobody is looking so I can run back inside and surprise them all.
I lept.
I stuck the landing.
Onto pavement.
Barefoot.
2 bilateral fractures of my calcanei.
Time to fully heal: 9-12 months.
Estimated time until I experience no pain: 3 months.
Estimated time I'll have to be on crutches: 1 month.
So... THAT happened..

An open taunt to Archie:
Got your tags. Mwua ha ha ha ha.
Remember that time I totally knifed you in the back? That's when I got your tags. Now they're my tags.

I have no idea if it is a sign or what, but today Windows ceased to work on my computer. Or who knows what. I actually should be studying for a calculus exam I have on Friday. Not looking forward to it.
For a few days now, Windows had been popping up CHKDSK on every boot, and today it didn't. Which would have been fine except that it didn't start at all. So right now I am writing from a bootable Linux Mint CD. Everything looks slightly odd, all the typefaces are different so all websites look slightly different as well. Not bad, just... different. Text, buttons, toolbars. Curious experience.
As for the windows/hdd issue, I don't have time to figure it out right now
. I just hope it's not the hdd biting the dust.
Anyway, to those who care, this will be my final vacation schedule. If anybody has plans to be in the general vicinity and wants to meet up for tea and crumpets, PM me. Preferably before I leave my residence on 15 SEP because I have no idea when or if I'll have internet access. There may be surprises but Boston and SC will not happen. May meet Tetsu0 in NYC. Still have to arrange something. That reminds me I have to write him when I'm back in Windows.
16 SEP to 19 SEP: Miami, FL
19 SEP to 22 SEP: Disneyworld (Orlando, FL)
23 SEP to 30 SEP: New York City, NY
30 SEP to 03 OCT: Somewhere north of NYC, possibly in or near Ardsley, NY
In any case, expect lots of photos in the photos thread. Up sometime after 4-5 OCT.

Hello TWHL! It's been a bit since I've posted a journal, or done anything really on the site, I comment on some journals here and there, that's bout it. Anyways, I bring news on the 3 part mini-mod type thing I was making in EP2 I was working on, that features the voice of Archie, and my own custom shitty textures. Unfortunately production of the maps has stalled, I started school last week, so my free time has really taken a hit. I just wanted to pop in and say hi really. Hi. So that's really all I have to say today, I got some other things going on, going through some stuff with all the hormones and shit, yay growing up. But I'm getting most of the weird feelings sorted out. What was it like maturing for you guys?
A couple of people have been asking about where the Scotch and Coffee website had gone too and when it was coming back.
Welp, last night I finally got around to finishing a little something I've been working on and you can check it out here: SnC Homepage
It's pretty basic in terms of design and functionality, although there is a little box on the right which features some highlights from our SVN log. Actually, it's mostly Archie getting his hair off over GoldSource. Still, fun.
There is also a forum which you can sign up to if you like.

Wrote a few thoughts about the new CS, as well as making 4 map comparisons between the 3 CS games.

I've taken out and dusted off my old laptop, to find out that it works surprisingly well, considering my memories of it. My current laptop is still experiencing a few problems. Several keys don't work, and two out of the three HP charger's we've got in the house don't work, which is why I'm using this computer.
The reason I stopped using this one is because I had managed to get a virus on it, which I hadn't managed to get rid of. I remember it getting BSOD's every five minutes, and being completely unable to work, although it seems to be working quite well. Before I stopped using it I backed up all my important files, and pretty much uninstalled everything apart from Hammer, Google Chrome, and things like MS Paint that came with the computer, which might be why it's working fine now.
Although 'working fine' isn't entirely correct. One of the things I remember about this computer was that it was excruciatingly slow when loading files, and that is certainly true. At the time I believed it was due to overheating or something, but looking at it now I see that I never once defragmented the hard drive. I'll be doing that now so I can see how much it changes.

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure if it was worthy enough to be a journal entry or not but I'll make it brief anyway.
I do not know how long it has been, but I'm back. And hopefully, not empty handed too. But I see that most of the well-known members are still active as ever, and TWHL doesn't seem very different too. Anyway, it is good to be back.
I am currently working on a new (imo) project which may interest Source gamers/mappers, I'll be posting the first WIP shots in a few months.
And also, check this out. It made my day, hopefully it will do the same to you.

Nearly ten years ago, I remember watching these videos and shitting an entire estate's worth of bricks.
So GoldenEye: Source got updated to version 4.2 a couple days ago, and I can not believe how far along they guys at Team Goldeneye: Source have come to get to the point where they are now. Is anyone else here playing this?
So I finally assembled my brand new pc all by myself.
It's awesome! I haven't even played games yet, but everything seems to be so extremely fast. I had an intel core 2 duo before, and now I've got the best quadcore cpu (3770k) :D, it's literally 10x faster.
My specs:
i7 3770k
cooler master 212 evo
asrock extreme4
gtx 560ti
3x 4gb 1300mhz ddr3 ram
asus xonar dg
NZXT Lexa S
Boy, it was quite hard to assemble this thing, I made a few mistakes here and there, I was even such a genius as to screw the dvd rw drive in the wrong way up, so when I finally got it to work it opened up and I was like... wtf?? RAAAAGE!
But it works perfectly, got everything to work, fans, led's, even fan control, everything works nicely

There was a time when I was better at multiplayer FPS games, and even then I wasn't exceptional, just better than average. Now, I mostly play for fun, and from time to time. Perhaps nostalgia made me do this. I secured my copy.
