The Internet Notepad

1 year anniversary since last post! (plus last year in review)

So huh Suicide_Bomber on IRC somehow noticed I haven’t written anything for a whole fucking year (and an added day). That’s really odd and strange if you think about it because even I didn’t know about this. Well we’re back (in blacks) (they cap yo ass) since I decided to get off my lazy 1 year late ass and write something.

Now, if only I had something interesting to say. Oh well, better blabber about stuff everyone knows. It’s a flawless plan, no doubt.

360, XBLA, BFBC, GW2 and BRAID

I got a 360 in the past easter after 2 years of careful planning and waiting. I had to order everything online since Portugal, as you may know, is shit. The 360, being the superior console, was blacklisted from almost every store even before the damn PS3 was released. So I had to order the 360 Mongoose (Halo 3 edition) online to ensure I’d get a console with the Falcon chipset (less RRoD) and ordered some games online and from the UK. This was a pretty damn smart move, just FYI GRAW 2 sells for 14 pounds on gameplay.co.uk (pr0pz 2 dem mah d0gz) and I’ve seen it on stores for a full whopping 70 euros. Saved about 40 euros on that game alone. And that’s awesome, I really enjoyed GRAW 2.

I’ve also ordered, along with GRAW 2, Mass Effect. It’s pretty much one of the best Western-style RPGs I’ve ever played, and it sure is proof of Bioware’s renowed genius. I like space-themed games, movies, series (I watched Star Trek TNG through this year. Patrick Steward is bald but he does good acting.) so Mass Effect was a treat for me. I really liked the interactions and dialogue, but there isn’t much cool dialogue sessions with awesome poses and dramatic angles outside of story missions. For example, when reaching Noveria (Probably) the security team tries to take your guns away. I, being the evil bastard I was, decided not to. It resulted in a mexican stand-off between us and the security team. On the other end, after killing 3 crime bosses on a side-quest and going to a desert planet to meet our employer and recieve the cash, who was also a crime boss, instead of a dramatic scene where they ambush us all I got was talking. Words. One standing in front of the other while not doing much movement.

Motherfuckers.

Anyway, apart from that it’s a great game. It’s a shame the Mako controls so horribly. Have you ever tried to replace a steering wheel on a car with a ladder and try to drive it? That’s what the Mako feels like. Fuck the fucking Mako.

Well I also ordered Halo 3. It’s good. It’s Halo 2 with special equipment and better online. Not much to say about it.

SKATE. was suggested by Gunrun. I bought it instead of Ace Combat XXIVBD: the empire strikes back because I have a fear of planes in videogames. Blame BF2 and Wake Island. Thank god they removed planes in 2142. Back to SKATE - I don’t like it. I could never control it right, and it’s weird using the flick-it controls after playing Tony Hawk games since I was 2 (not really but ok). It feels like I’m using fuck-it controls instead of flick-it controls. Never got too far, but I’ve played with Monkfish once online. He won I think.

Also BFBC. I love battlefield games. I seriously do. 2142 hates me however, never lets me connect. Maybe if DICE knew how to do decent gamecode without having to open like 3583458 ports I could play good. BFBC is good, however. It’s not like BFMC, which was a whole lot more arcade, but it isn’t CSS “realism” either. It has some good maps and the vehicles control well. I’m a beast with tanks, KD ratio is very high, like 14 or something. Thank god console players can’t use tanks for shit. Being a veteran also helps, since I actually know what I’m doing. It’s cool when people use mics as well, even though you can play BFBC as a lone soldier playing as a squad makes you pretty much unstoppable.

Oh also ordered Dead Rising for the 360. FUCKING AWESOME. It’s fun. Mindblowingly fun. Going around a mall with a chainsaw or a lawn mower while wearing kids’ clothes and a servbot head never gets tiring and unfun. The achievements however require a big ammount of grinding though. Seriously, killing 53.000+ zombies requires like 2 hours of going around in circles in the tunnels. It’s like the kind of stuff you don’t want to do yourself and it’s the kind of stuff you’d hire a kid to do it for you.

No matter, I’m not that much of an achievement whore. I’ve built up a respectable 4500gs though, lots of people don’t have that. Some have 25k but fuck them. If I lived near a store that rents out vidyagayms so would I.

Oh also got GTA IV for an amazing 75 euros. It’s great, nice story, graphics, driving, etc. Very cinematic, specially in the end. This has two meanings - the ending is very movie-like, and like a movie, it ends there. There’s not much to do besides loitering around killing people. Plus you can’t take on the army anymore - why isn’t there a tank, Rockstar? Oh well, it’s still one of the best GTAs ever. IMO it’s between 3 and Vice City (Vice City being at the top).

Crackdown’s fun too. It’s freeroam and I have superpowers. It’s fun throwing cars at people while spamming grenades and homing rockets. Fun shit.

Oh a friend of mine got me Viva Pinata. It’s very colourful and happy, and it’s a pretty nice contrast compared to what I play usually, gory bloody games. It’s fun to work and take care of your garden. I know I have a garden out there in my backyard that also needs to be taken care of but I can’t be arsed. Plus I’m allergic. Probably.

Also bought Geometry Wars 2 and Braid in the past week. Geometry Wars 2 is so much more than GW (the prequel to the sequel, not the Patriot) (big boss dies) ever was. The music is pretty awesome, very different than the first one’s music. Which is great because I myself disliked the music in the first one. Plus the newest one has loads of new gamemodes (SIX TIMES MORE GAMEMODES WTF) even though King sucks and I suck at Pacifism. Sequence mode is genius though, I love it and play it a lot. One thing new about GW2 is same-screen Co-op, and that’s a blast. Co-op is more fun with a game that can cause you epilepsy even though you and your family never were susceptible to epileptic attacks. There’s no bombs in that one, but you can get up to 4 players playing and take on the world. Braid is a much more recent purchase, bought it yesterday night. It’s a headache, that’s for sure, but it’s fun and I love the style. It feels like you’re playing a painting. Somehow. Well, such is the magic of the 360, I guess.

Final note before I drop this subject. My gamertag is PcfcV2 (But you probably know this by now because I’ve been spreading that info around like a whore spreads AIDS).

Now to more serious stuff. This past school year wasn’t easy, but I turned out alright. I’ve got a 20 (our of 20) at IT (after presenting a very impressive Flash job), a 19 at Physics-Chemestry, at Portuguese and English (because the teacher is a bitch because I deserve the perfect grade. No student in our class could write this fluently.) and a bunch of 18. I also did the Physics-Chem exam, and scored a 18.5 out of 20, which is rounded to 19, which by chance is the grade the teacher awarded me. It would be quite a misery if I scored badly. You wouldn’t know, but I went to the Chemestry Olympiads and got into the top 10 (4th place or something I was ill at the awards ceremony) and a bad grade would put me to shame (also the school but fuck those fuckers). Now I’m in holidays, I’m going back in like a month and 2 weeks. Fucking awesome.

Well it seems I’m gonna leave for Oporto tonight in a holiday of sorts with my uncle. It’s gonna be fun, looking forward to that blog. I’m gonna see if I update this shit more often too. We’ll see what comes out of that. Peace out.

I PROMISE I’M GONNA WRITE SOMETHING TODAY

When I wake up in a bunch of hours.
Damn it must suck when after 4 months or so of inactivity the first thing I write down is filler. Oh well. More shit coming tomorrow (and knowing last 4 months it’s gonna be a thrill writing it. I don’t even remember what I did yesterday, why should I be able to remember what happened 4 months ago? Oh, for the ones who are curious - the operation was a tremendous failure and I died on the operation table. God bless heaven having satellite internet.) .

Lotsa shit happening plus last month resumed

Monday, the Second of what’s that 4 on my calendar thingy stand for, 2007

Mood: Fabulous

Darling Cecilia,

Sorry it took me so long to write a post - but life or general lazyness got in my way. Mostly general lazyness. And IRC. And gaming. And being lazy. And STALKER. Hell, I could keep writing here and never stop.
So, stuff that HAS happened lately. Well, I’m currently half-way through my vacations, soon to be spoiled (STAY TUNED FOR MORE INFO TO MORE - TALES OF INTEREST), but this period went pretty well - I dropped from 17 to a fat 16 at maths, but mostly everything else went up. Philosophy, Portugalallianese (15 to 17 AWESOME GREAT SUCCESS), Physical Education (it seems I’m not that much of a nerd). Awesome stuff indeed. Chemistry stood the same (with no reason I might add, I’m pretty fucking angry) but hell I shouldn’t be complaining. Stuff went well.

Internet wise, stuff is still good. I’m doing a fairly good job at moderating, and I even get angry PMs! Just read this!

You know, I kinda feel sorry for you, having to go to bed at 10PM 7 days a week, having to live with Mummy and Daddy, being a fucking portugeuse fucktard, being dependant on other people for food and shelter and worst of all being a sad little VIRGIN.

Nah, don’t feel sorry for you, just laugh at you…….

LMAO @ you! Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! )

No doubt you don’t reply because you’re all tucked up in bed already (along with your crackwhore Mother’s dealer from morocco - her crack-cocaine supply in exchange for your gay ass). Teenagers as moderators, why not just hand out nuclear weapons to toddlers.

Pretty good huh? Now imagine about 12 of those in a single day! Lots of love!

Now here comes the fun part of the blog post - the one I talk about stuff I did or watched or played lately:

STAY TUNED FOR V2′S REVIEWS. RIGHT AFTER THIS COMMERCIAL

We’re watching you fap to your sister’s porn.

FBI - nobody’s safe. Not even your sister.

RIGHT WELCOME BACK

First up is Supreme Commander.

I played this since I got it (lots of time ago) and it’s really unlike anything we’ve ever had on the RTS market except total annihilation. It’s pretty epic - it makes all other RTSes look puny and small. Plus, it has beautifully rendered CGI cutscenes - that’s awesome. And oh god the experimental units - it doesn’t matter if you have 15 nukes ready to fire at your command, if you ever see one of those in the enemy’s hand you’ll be all oh shit ohshitoshtis fuckfuckfuck etc, etc. They’re powerful as well and hard to take down, they can take quite a lot of punishment. You’ve got mobile factories, huge mechanical spiders with a giant laserbeam generator that’s the weakness of everything - units, shields and structures alike, giant floating dishes that destroy buildings quite decently - that is, if the unit reaches said buildings, supreme artillery that destroys EVERYTHING that isn’t covered by shields at milimetric precision. All good stuff. Also there are naval units and aircraft that destroy things with bombs. Good stuff. And artillery.

Highly recommended.

Next one is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - SHADOW OF CHERNOBYL

Before you ask - no, there’s no hookers in this one ( ), but there’s anomalies, hideous mutants and lots and lots of breathtaking and cancer, pardon me, c@nc3r-inducing radiation! ( :’( mommy this man is scary)

The game itself is pretty open-ended. There’s nothing stopping you from going to the deep areas right in the start of the game, except bad equipment (you start with a puny pistol, a knife and binoculars. Plus bolts to bolt stuff and trigger anomalies) and no anti-radiation suits of armour. There’s lots of quests - but loads of times you’ll end up finishing quests you never wanted to start in the first place, just by killing certain person (in the KILL A STALKER quests) or reaching certain areas (You trigger the X16 mission if you enter X16 and evade all the psi energy). Unacceptable for a game that has been on development hell for years and years. And that’s not half of it - you’ll run into loads of minor bugs that don’t actually hurt gameplay too much but are annoying to see. Oh, and the stashes only create goodies if you find the stash’s location in someone’s PDA.

The game is powered by the x-ray engine, which has a godlike lightning and shadowing system, but has loads of stupid shit slowing down the system - I can’t look straight on the army warehouses or I get 1 to 3 FPS, but if I look at the ground I’ll go back to 25-40. Lots of graphics and memory leaks and lots of resources wasted on things the player will never notice (A-life, the AI system, that features migrations, breeding and lots of other CPU-controlled shit could’ve been replaced by a randomness-based AI management system and the player wouldn’t even notice. Migrations of animals? Sure, but I’ve never seen one. Protip - if you develop something crazy and good and don’t shove it in front of the player directly chances are he won’t figure it out himself - might as well remove it), plus the game is pretty low-res in terms of resources, but the lightning is good so one benefits the other. Physics are there, but can screw up sometimes.

Recommended. You probably have this game by now anyway. Recommended mod, though - the trader’s mod. It enables you to buy good stuff from the barkeep and the trader, which gives money in STALKER a decent meaning.

And to finalize, a short preview of Oblivion: Shivering Isles

I loved oblivion since the very beginning. Open-ended, huge and beautiful - the way games should be. I fell in love with it the second I seen pics and vids of the game. This xpack just makes is better.

It introduces a new region, the “Shivering Isles”, which are actually part of a daedric realm (not like Dagon’s plains of oblivion, mind you), splitted into two parts - mania and dementia. While mania is colorful and pretty, dementia is dark and sinister. The NPCs in-game are spectacular, mainly their voice dialogue, the conversations you’ll end up having are so fucking random you’ll invariably burst in laughter - this is specially true for Sheagorath, the prince of madness. He earned that title for a good reason - and you’ll enjoy knowing why.

The story seems pretty good, too, plus there are new enemies, equipment, characters, quests… Hell, it’s a fucking xpack - what were you expecting?

I’ll review it properly later.

Futurama

Now here’s an awesome series. I, ahem, “picked up” from a truck where data was dumped on the five seasons of futurama. It still has that “The Simpsons Chaos Theory” element - the whole plot is totally random yet it makes sense somehow. You start with one thing and you end up with something totally different. It’s a great series, made me laff quite a bit.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force

This one is a lot more random than Futurama, but it’s almost 100% nonsense humour - so it’s only for a select group of people who enjoy it. But hell, it has 5 seasons and a movie so it means it must be accepted by lots of people, but you either like it or hate it. I like it, watching food do stuff never was this comical.

That ends our reviews.

Oh, for the ones who didn’t know, I’m going to be interned in the hospital tomorrow and be operated wednesday. It’s a cyst removal operation, so it’s gonna be piss easy. I’m gonna try connecting from the hospital if I can, but if I can’t, well, I’ll only be back Wednesday!

Hopefully I’ll post the next post faster than the time it took for me to post this one. Piss out.

It’s the Friday night post! One day late!

So yeah - I decided to get off IRC and write this shit before someone bugs me to death to post this shit. I have quite a lot of new things to write about, so let’s get started! (Plus trying to write this is fucking shit - find out why a few phrases later!)

First of all, I installed m$ Windows Vista (as seen previously here). I like it - and hate it. For starters, in a nutshell, windows Vista is Windows XP with P.S. 2.0 right on the desktop, improved paranoia-based security and faster boot times. Plus x64 support. It’s supposed to be the “ideal gaming platform”, with DX10 and all, but it fails horribly at it. I’m probably doing something wrong, but in source-based games, I get huge performance loss. We’re talking going from 60 FPS to 15-20FPS with semi-constant slowdowns and breaks. It’s fucking annoying. Gmod gets a pretty big performance drop as well, I’m getting 40 FPS on construct when I had 100 before. It’s a 60% loss (woah maths) of performance, and it makes me feel I’m running outdated hardware.

Anyway, besides that, Vista is pretty good for web browsing and general computer work. It boots up fast and nice - and it’s just pretty to see. I may consider triple-booting with XP (gaming, backup) and Ubuntu (linux, advanced screwupping).

Let’s see, concerning the forums… Well, most probably know this by now, I was made a supermoderator. Now I don’t have to bitch about the reported posts not being done - I CAN DO THEM MYSELF! Plus, I get to hang out with the kool krew and got @ on IRC. Pretty great, since I was trimmed centuries ago (I had this weird habit of frequenting IRC for a week then forgetting about it for 2 months - so I was trimmed). I’m not a co-owner or master or anything - but a week ago I had 0 access. I should be quiet.

I really thank everyone who voted for me and whatnot - I feel I’ll do good work (and will if I don’t get MAD WITH POWER) along with the new mods (with some exceptions) - but in the end it’ll run smoothly. Hopefully I’ll not end up like Der Fuhrer. Hopefully.

Next up in our schedule (I took a break of 15 minutes to idle in IRC now) we have Supreme Commander. Let’s look at my history with supreme commander!

Months ago: I test TA:Spring. I hate it - confusing and prone to rushing.

2 months or so ago: Supreme Commander Beta: I kinda hate it - it was still too confusing, plus the AI sucked.

1 week: Supreme Commander Demo: OH GOD I LOVE THIS WHERE IS THE PREORDER BUTTON

That was pretty much it. I preordered the Cybran faction pack (their commander looks cool and the tanks shoot lasers - what else could you want) through play.com - set up credit cards and adresses, confirm everything and go to bed. The next day, play.com says it doesn’t ship to Portugal. It ships to Spain, but not Portugal.

Go fuck yourselves.

So, I had to ask Sammo_Pr3dator to serve as a courrier. He recieves the game for me (he did today morning - we opened it together through the magic of webcam) then sends it to me - with me paying the expenses. It’s a pretty good plan - plus the game ends up being cheaper than if I picked it up on stores (by about a dime or so - still cheaper ). It should be sent Monday and arrive Wednesday or Thursday (if all goes well).

ALRIGHT this has been this week’s V2 Blog post. Cya lat3r homiez!

IT ATTAK

So yeah, I’m in IT class again. It’s pretty great but we’re working - almost without computers.

Well, some of us are. Our teacher seems to have adopted a pretty Fuhreristic way of working. Work or turn off your computer (although we turn off our monitor and she’ll be happy). Also, my closest friend (as in space) has shit AND I MEAN SHIT music blasting off his headphones, so fucking high I can hear it.

Someone cut off my ears.

Anyway, we’re getting initiated in databases. It’s pretty much one of the only things I don’t have a clue about when we’re talking Informatiks. I was hoping we’d learn progrumming or something but I knew that wouldn’t be possible, since my classmates were always FUBAR confused when we did IF functions in EXCEL, and that’s a fundamental part in programming. A man can dream.

At least we’re not learning how to move files and create folders like we did one year ago. Or how to make prutthy drawings with MICROSOFT WORD. RIGHT AFTER WE LEARNT PAINT.

Darn it, that still hurts my intelligence when I think of it.

PacificV2’s MEGAPOST Number ONE!1!!!1!1

So I haven’t written in a while and my comp is busy running and managing windows 2000’s install on a VM (Virtual Machine) and well I haven’t written in a while but I really love you guys and this is a long sentence. I could’ve played SCDA on my xbox (not -==[{NEXT-GEN}]==- xbox mind you) and wait a second going to the bathroom.

That was nice. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes, the megapost. First things first, RL stuff.

The first part of school is over, and my final grades are mostly healthy 16s or 17s (This is from 0 to 20). So I now have 2 weeks of vacation and some nice xmas presents. The biggest thing is a watch. Actually, a SWATCH. This one! A Swatch Wildly.

It’s a pretty big step since I’ve been using digital clocks for years and now I’m gonna ashame myself by taking 30 minutes to decode the watch’s information about the current time. Butt oh well. My new colleagues suck, we were supposed to have a dinner together and then some booze but everyone was faggish enough not to come so I had to cancel the whole thing. Sucks to be me.

Xmas is near and I owe money to everyone so I could buy everyone some pretty Christmas presents! Ain’t that great?!

No.

More, more… Oh, right, the air is freezing cold. So cold it’s actually solidifying and falling down to the ground so we now have to dodge cubes of frozen air. And I thought that wasn’t possible. Oh when will Physics stop lying to me. Air temperature is about, uh -1 to 3 Celsius (about 30 to 37 Fahrenheit for you AMRIKAN studs) so it actually hurts going outside. The streets are literally frozen.

But fuck RL. Here are some internet news!

Gary mode 10 was released weeks ago (hehe pretty sure you didn’t notice that one coming), which I promptly bought after release. It’s a pretty good mod, a worthy successor to Gary mode 9, worthy of the hype too. I’m usually hanging out on KmartSquirrel’s server! Pass by and say hello! Or “STFU I HAT U U FAG”, I don’t really care.
All I want for Christmas is a PSP. That has to be THE WORST VIRAL ADVERTISING EVER. It’s like Sony doesn’t care anymore! Fuck that, I think they stopped caring after collecting the earnings on the PS1.
-=={[NEXT-GEN]}==- has come! Both the Wee (hehe, I said a bad word) and the PS3 have been released. While everyone (me included) loves the Wee, only Jews who buy overpriced material, fools with too much money or dumb morons (70% of the world population) actually get to buy the PS3. Go you guys! Fuck da system! Always oppressing the rich man! dumb faggotsANYWAY LET’S KEEP WITH OUR SCHEDULE
Drive_the_Hive and Frayzndogg have been Demodded on Facepunch. While I agree on Frazn being demodded (hey your ego grew too huge YOU BECAME MAD WITH POWER), Drive_the_hive was demodded for a subtle title change. Well, two. But fuck that. HEIL, MEIN FUHRER!
Jews are still uncool as ice.
So making fun of them is still the bee’s knees.
YouTube was bought by Google a bunch of time ago. I still don’t know what Google expects to do with Youtube, but I hope they don’t change the core too much.
Steam has been getting lots and lots of new games. I hoped it became the Indy Developer’s haven, with a bunch of independent games at budget prices. While I can see that happening, it ain’t happening too much. MORE INDY GAMES ON STEAM >:C.
Writing FfFFFFFFffFFffffffff is still popular.

And that does the Internet news. Let’s go on to game reviews:

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Double Agent

Now here’s a good game. FOR THE XBOX 1. The game for the PC looks and feels like A FUCKING ALPHA. It seems it never saw the light of QA testing. And that game needed testing. EXTENSIVE YEARS OF TESTING. Want to play? Sure. 12 to 9 FPS all the time on a mid-high computer. WHAT DO I NEED TO HAVE TO PLAY IT? A 8800GT? Whoops wait that’s not really supported soz get something else.

Apart from the BLATANT BUGS, NOT-WORKING UNLOCKS, CONSTANT CRASHES AND TERRIBLE FRAMERATE the game’s actually pretty good. That is - if you can manage to play it. There’s a weird bug with saves, too. There’s this HUGE level in africa. If you die and quickload, you’ll end up crashing. THANKS UBISOFT.

And to think I shelled my first 50 euros on a SC game only for it to turn out unplayable. When will I learn TO STICK TO WAREZ.

70% out of a possible 100%, EVILDOER!

—

Armed Assault

This is actually a good game - IF YOU CAN PLAY IT WITHOUT GETTING SHOT. I believe you don’t really have a chance of not dying on this game, this is that damned hard. It makes CSS look like a hardcore arcade game with no realism at all.

It’s the spiritual successor to Operation Flashpoint, which many peeps on the forum used to play alot in a clan. Since DavePee made a thread about this, I decided to give it a shot. I actually ended up getting shot myself. A lot of times.

On the first mission, we have to check up on a peaceful zone. I’m in a squad of sorts and I get transported to the area (that taking almost 2 minutes). I get off the Humvee, and move to the area. Then rebels start shooting at us. I start to run like a retard, when I meet heads-on with a light enemy machinegunner who starts firing blindly. That would be a bad tactic, except he hit me. So I have to reload the mission and wait 2 minutes again. I get ambushed again, and meet up with the machinegunner. This time, I win the battle, shouting HAHAH TAKE THAT YOU BASTARD WHO’S SHOOTING UP BLINDLY NOW EH? HAHA! then I got shot in the back.

After about 2 more tries, I finish the mission. I took aobut 6 or 8 tries to finish the damned mission. THE FIRST MISSION.

Great graphics and great gameplay - that is, if you can deal with frustration. Hey, DaveP can handle it, and he suffers from Downs!

Roboblitz

Talk about awesome. This is awesome in many aspects. Gameplay, weapons, graphix… You name it, they’ve got it.

You’re this little annoying thing called a “robot”. Blitz is your name and killin’ is your thang. You’re being invaded by this hueg space pirate robot, but, luckily, you have a rail cannon in your base. HOW FORTUNATE!

So you’ll have to activate the cooling system, make the shells, secure the security codes… 8 different themes with 8 bosses each. All of this boosted by tight graphics and humour.

A little marvel with a small price.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas

Just because the title has “Rainbow” and “Vegas” on its title it doesn’t mean you’re going to have some gay adventures on the city of Sin. Now this is a great game, great location and great graphix. Awesome indeed. I wonder why they don’t use Vegas as a location more often. It’s colourful, got lots of casinos and hookers (Uou won’t be seeing any on this game. Well, at least alive.) and is just plainly awesome.

So you control a team of Rainbow Six members, which you can control giving out pretty simple orders like “Move” and nothing else. At least they DO take cover. It’s a simple system that works.

Graphics are pretty great too. Nice texturing, nice shadows and performance and great shading. Pretty impressive for the olde Unreal Engine 2.5.

FINAL CONCLUSION: I’m a shit games reviewer.

AND THIS CONCLUDES THIS MEGAPOST. GO AWAY AND LEAVE COMMENTS if not Typhon will send his team of hackers and hack your anus. WITH BASEBALL BATS.

BANNED: Based on a true story

As you can see here, I’m currently banned from the Facepunch ~~Nazi~~ Forums. This is epic at best, for I’m not banned often. I’l start writing now.

It was a fine day (fuck that, it was raining and cold) of a fine Month (November’s not fine. July is, though) of a fine year (*insert comment about 2006 being shite here*), and I was rushing out of the house, for I was about to go out with my Uncle, when I stumbled upon a pretty stupid thread on how a virus was on the loose. Obviously, I did what the most common of mortals would do. I’d post a pretty smartass sarcastic (my faved form of humour, of course) post, implying that that was terribly horrid and that the president needed to be informed (Everything on bold and CAPS LOCK which is cruise control for cool although I never got what that meant anyway). I even forgot to close one of my highlighted tags.
I then proceed to hear a horn blowing and my mother downstairs screaming like a satanic telling me to “GET RIGHT HERE THIS INSTANT” or something, I wasn’t exactly paying attention. Then I picked up my stuff and headed to my space-age mass teleporter to the downstairs of my house, so I could silence the screaming of my mother (screaming must run in the family, it seems). I then go out to my uncle to the local mall so I could have some fat grease to eat.

First thing I do when I turn on my monitor when I come back is look at the monitor itself. I was shocked and furious, insulting everyone who was responsible. That’s right, my Xbox-warez SCDA torrent was 96.5% completed. Fucking faggots, my computer is turned on for about 50 hours straight and it isn’t done yet you fucking faggot nigger nazi cocksucking dumbfucks idiot fatass nazis (wait I used that once). Anyway, after bulldowzering half of my block in blind rage, I refresh my browser (which I left on the FP frontpage), only to be confronted with the dreaded “YOU ARE BANNED!” square thingy. Since I already demolished half my block I was very calm and stayed (or is it stood?) that way.

And that was the epic story on how I conquered France. I saved the thread I made on the Refugee Camp (The where?) over HERE. Laugh now.

I SAID LAUGH GODDAMN IT. Thank you, come again. Leave comment and bring pie.

So I’m back at IT class

This is getting boring and I’m not even at half the class. There’s a stupid fag playing the sma goddamned music all over again.

The teacher has ordered us to copy a LOL HUEG table from the exercise book. Since everyone is half-way around it, and I’m done, I better do something productive, such as doing this and playing defcon on the meantime. Half-life 1 is downloading, too! I somehow managed to get it working, and it’s downloading at 250 KB/s. Well, that’s awesome just FYI, didn’t know the school had such amazing bandwidth. And these computers have 512 MB ram. And that’s awesome. Should steal a couple of RAMM sticks.

Well, I should get back to work/playing Defcon. Or something.

Memoirs of a drunken bastard

It’s like that kind of drunk that makes you a better ~~driver~~ writer because you know you’re drunk.

So yeah, I had a bit too many drunks tonight. 2 shots and a whiskey-cola. Bear in mind I’m not used to drinking alcoholic beverages. Please do.

So then, although my logic, maths and speech coherence is still 100% A-OK, I feel confused. A lot confused. I can walk well and straight, but I feel like my brain is walking in semicircles (let’s see if I still remember what that is). Didn’t try running though, might fall. At least dancing like a BEAST helped me get rid of some confused-ness (that isn’t a word? Fuck you, I’m drunk), and seeing some sweet ass dancing helped my ego as well. Fun night, though, makes me wonder why I spend so much time in my house alone (or with the whole internet <3).
Yeah, anyway, tomorrow’s a holiday. Which is good. And also bad because I have to go to the countryside, where my mother’s family is. Why don’t they move here so I don’t have to move? Bastards.

Oh well, all is well. Now please excuse me while I go into a alcoholic coma.
