Rawrblog #3

First off, since I haven't made a real blog since my adminship, I have to mention it :D

Secondly, what is wrong with you people? A blog solely containing the word 'g' recieved 40 comments. I used it for testing the blog comment paging system and forgot to delete it.

So now on to other stuff. It is finally getting cold here in New York, and that makes me happy. I love the snow, I can't wait for that first day where people wake up, look outside and go 'wtf it snowed last night?'. Also, I'm picking up DirectX - its not too complicated, its just that all those long class names are annoying. Luckily, its mostly "make a custom method and forget" type of thing.

I've also been playing Red Faction. Red Faction is an awesome game - but it is so distracting. I'm on a mission, yet I keep blowing tunnels in the walls randomly. There's a glitch allowing for infinite explosive charges, as well as the full ammo and weapons code, which basically means if I find a breakable wall, I go nuts. And since most walls are breakable… I want the orange box. I want it so bad, but unfortunately, after buying a new laptop, I'm short on cash.

Which brings me to an awesome point. If Red Faction and Half Life 2 could be combined, I'd be like 'wheeeeeee'. Imagine Half Life 2's physics and physics gun, combined with Red Faction's Geomod. Man - break a chunk of rock off, pick it up with the gravity gun, shoot it at people… Mmmmm…

Me and a bunch of friends went and saw Stardust - a movie based on a book by Neil Gaiman, an excellent author. The general consensus was that it was an excellent, awesome movie. Robert De Niro - that role is something I'd never expect to see him in. So if you think that the movie isn't manly enough or something, you are wrong. It is hilarious. Just for the record, Stardust is one of the oh so rare book-to-movies that actually turned out good. Neil Gaiman is a good author.

Today I'm going to fix the wonderfully flawed ratings code. Hopefully, anyways.

Oh yes. The fun of blowing tunnels through walls in Red Faction. Aaah. Me and 2 friends loved doing that on multiplayer. :D There's a point, though, where you can't blow up the wall anymore. :(

I agree completely about Red Faction. It's one of my favorite shooters. I love that it's semi-non-linear. Funfunfun.

As for the "g" blog, it's your fault for making a post that can be interpreted so many different ways. >:(

Half-Life 2 Deathmatch is quite a thrill; nothing like launching toilets at your opponents.

Congrats on becoming an admin. So, what exactly is wrong with the rating system?

Castypher 17 years ago

You're fixing the ratings system?

=D

I see George is now a Brit. I bet he's going to say "honour" now.

FireflyX 17 years ago

why would he say honour?

Jabberwock 17 years ago

"honour" is the crazy/British way of spelling "honor".
