The Black Box?!06/05/09 @ 1:34 am

So there's been some outrage recently about Left4Dead2, mostly along the lines of: L4D JUTS CAME OUT IN NOVEMBER AND THEYRE MAKIN A SEQUAL AND IT WILL COST $50 THIS IS STUPID IT SHOULD BE FREE DLC"

And hey, okay, I can see how $50 to drop for a sequel which seems like more of an expansion than a full-fledged sequel seems ridiculous... however this got me thinking (and I'm not alone in this), that perhaps L4D2 won't just be a standalone game. There was a notable lack of info around Half-Life 2: Episode 3 at E3 this year. When Episode 2 was released, it was bundled in "The Orange Box" with Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Now, of course this could be entirely wrong and Valve is actually planning a $50 L4D2 (which admittedly I will probably buy) and Episode 3 will be released in 7 years.

OR it could be released with L4D2. But then what could a third game be? Hmm... Well Black Mesa looks interesting... Valve is aware of its existence... Their trailer says "2009" as the release, and L4D2 will be released November '09... AND THE LAST UPDATE WAS IN NOVEMBER 2008 WHEN THE ORIGINAL L4D WAS RELEASED?! THEY'VE BEEN HUSH SINCE!? CONSPIRACIES!!!!!

RSS feed for the bookmark challenged07/27/08 @ 12:15 am

I finally realized today that it is 2008 and my blog did not have an RSS feed. So I mustered up some motivation (it was rough but the right amounts of caffeine and metal were applied and magic happened) and got to work. Now those avid readers of you out there (hahah avid readers that's a funny term to be applied here) and don't have my blog bookmarked (what a terrible thought! ...Then again I don't have it bookmarked either) can subscribe. There is a fancy icon up there in the upper right corner just above the Shoutbox. Click it and look at the wondrous feed in awe.

Team Fortress 2: The Heavy Apocalypse07/16/08 @ 12:01 pm

I like Team Fortress 2. This is no mystery. However at times I like to play in a silly manner. So, last night I played as a Heavy on 2fort, running around punching people. Some epic moments occurred, but one moment in particular shined above the rest.

I had just finished a punching rampage, which ended in my death (this happens a lot). The clock ticks as the respawn timer counts down to 0. I'm finally back in the game, and I exit the resupply zone and head out towards the sniper balcony doing practice punches on my teammates. As I make my way out to the balcony with plans to jump down below to the covered bridge which leads to the enemy base, an enemy scout is running atop the bridge preparing to leap onto our balcony. With lightning speed (for a heavy), my muscles prepare for the ultimate battle of the ages. A sniper behind me fires a shot. He just barely nicks the Scout's leg. The scout continues and prepares to make his jump just as I'm approaching the edge of our balcony to drop down below. He jumps, I jump ... and then like a scene out of "The Best Moments on Earth" (movie slated for release at the end of time) my fist connects with his pathetic soul in midair. He successfully dies, while I land on the ground (picture this in all slow motion) feeling like a true champion. The teammates which had the pleasure of viewing this most miraculous event cheered and applauded, and I ran on my way across the bridge to head into the enemy base, my morale boosted higher than ever.

Unfortunately due to all the commotion no one noticed the freakin' spy. How could this happen?!

Adventures07/13/08 @ 2:59 pm

You know what the world needs? More adventures.

When I go to work in the morning, it's boring. I get out of bed, sometimes shower (as in if I don't shower in the morning I'll shower at night, not "meh i haven't showered in a few days, haven't felt like it"), munch on some readily available food from my fridge, and then wander out the door to drive to the office. Nothing exciting there. Here's a better and way more exciting scenario:

My alarm goes off. It's 5:30AM, sweat drips down my forehead as my eyes dart around the room. I grab my ectoplasma raygun and carefully open my bedroom door. If the coast is clear, dart for the bathroom and quickly dequeue any pending bodily functions and shower. I shave my manly beard to lessen wind resistance (damn thing grows like a chia pet with miracle grow) and grab a stalk of broccoli from the fridge and munch away. I then check all the surveillance cameras on the premises before venturing to my car. On my way there a ferocious beast, half lion, half bear, all badass, attacks me from behind. I do a triple somersault backflip and take the beast on with my barehands. The brawl ends in my victorious victory, although I don't leave unscathed. I head to my car to drive to work, only to be greeted with swarms of evil ninjas (i'm a good ninja) equipped with laser shurikens. I set the car on autopilot and hop onto the roof of it and do one of those sweet "on-top-of-moving-vehicle-fight-scene" things that action movies like to do. Except this one is way more badass and has no special effects. It's all real. Unfortunately I forgot to set the car to adjust speed accordingly and I get pulled over for speeding. I call a timeout while I explain to the officer that these evil ninjas are trying to kill me, but they decide to be complete jerks and whistle innocently, claiming to have no idea what I'm talking about (grr). I take the ticket and grumble and my rage creates a fury of stormclouds to form, with lightning and thunder erupting loudly in the sky. The evil ninjas sense my rage and flee in terror. Finally I get to the office and begin my day of work.

I could totally use a sidekick, though. Volunteers? .
