Some kinda' record!

Wow, two posts in as many days - that has to be some kind of record here... Anyway, it's Monday, and I want to play Zombie Panic! Source like hell, but no one is on KFZ, so I am stuck here posting on this tumble weed-filled blog of mine.

On another note, I just finished watching Back to the Future Part III. Not quite as strong as the first two, if only because of the change of setting. It fits well into my theory. In trilogies, the best film is always the second, the second best is always the first and the worst is always the third. Think about it:

- The Matrix
- The Lord of the Rings
- Austin Powers
- Back to the Future
- the original Star Wars trilogy
- Indiana Jones (not counting the recent (crap) addition)

Try to think up some of your own! Who am I kidding? No one reads this...

Anyway, I have a new record to break: the longest time between blog posts! That dead guy will have to move over!

Nothing to do...

I am sitting at my desk, watching Back to the Future Part II and tap-tap-tapping away at my G15. That's it. It's not until one tries to do something that one realises just how uneventful life is.

On a less boring note (but only slightly less boring, mind), I have finished a project that I have been working on for about a week and a half - a Zombie Panic! Source map. Basically, the human team is required to make it to the end of a long corridor, while the zombie team must stop them by activating various traps to kill them. My first entry into Source mapping, and I like to think that it's at least a bit of fun to play on the server that I frequent, called KFZ (Kentucky Fried Zombie).

For anyone who doesn't know what Zombie Panic! Source is, get fucked. Look it up, I dunno. What am I, your personal assistant? L2!ikipedia noob!

So basically, that's it.

I don't understand Kingdom Hearts in the bloody slightest

WARNING - THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS!

I never understood the appeal of the game Kingdom Hearts. I understand crossovers, and I understand highly artistic/non-mainstream projects, but I fail to grasp the connection (or necessity of creating a connection) between the two universes. Was this their track of thinking?:

- "I know! Let's amalgamate a cast of emo, sexually androgynous, magic-wielding teenagers with child-friendly, cartoony, animals that have no grounding in logical reality!"

- "I don't know what the fuck you're on, but we need to immediately order 500 pounds of it, and get busy! Promote this man!".

On second thought, I hope that no game designers think this way... Actually, I hope that no one thinks this way...

This is the best title ever!

KFZ is back. For those who are not me, I'll have to fill you in. KFZ is a Zombie Panic! Source server that I used to frequent late at night. It eventually closed down, due to the owner having had enough of paying over $100 a month to keep it running. Some people donated, and its death was staved off momentarily, but the inevitable happened the next month. Fast forward (oh, look at me and my hip talkings!) to about three months later, and one of the original server admins found a deal for a server. So, it's been up for about three days now, and I am very enthused. It's just like the not-very-old times!

Anyway, I am feeling introspective, and all of that Hallmark shit, so I thought I would update my crap blog for about two people to read.

That's it... There's no more...

What's been happening...

Alot has happened in the past few months:

- I got my Steam account back, after emailing them about three times...
- I got a new PC (Intel Core2 Duo 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, nVidia GeForce 9400GT 1GB) for gaming!
- I have begun to make more videos for YouTube.
- Some other crap (like seeing more films, going to mates' houses)
- And one irritating thing in particular: My Realtek HD Audio Manager for my new PC is screwing up.

Ever since about three days ago, it constantly thinks that there is both a headset and a microphone plugged into the front jack of my tower. This is a major problem, because it overrides anything I plug into the front! Now, you (I.E.: no one) may be thinking "That's not too big a deal! This well-worded loser could just plug all of his things into a rear jack.".

But alas, no. Here's why:

Realtek HD Audio Manager is crap. Simple as that. It doesn't let me plug headphones into the rear jack, because it's coded incorrectly and is illogical and makes no sense. That's truly why. It just won't register anything in the rear jack if it's a set of headphones. I've tried limitless combinations upon combinations, but Realtek hates me. Like most other people/computer programs/animals/ghosts/electrical appliances.

Anyway, while I struggle to keep my life from falling into a pit of chimp urine, I keep watching films. This month's distraction is mostly anything directed by Christopher Guest. Hilarious stuff!

His films consist of:

- This is Spın̈al Tap
- Waiting for Guffman
- Best in Show
- Thank You for Your Consideration
- A Mighty Wind

They are all mockumentaries about people who are in way over their head and who have no right to be doing what they are doing. This is generally put forth as some sort of artistic endeavour. In This is Spın̈al Tap, (easily the best one of them all) he and his oft-included cohorts play a heavy metal rock group known as Spın̈al Tap, whose career is failing and fans are dwindling. In Best in Show, they all play characters who are competing for the dog show title "Best in Show" with their prized pooches. Of course, the dogs are the ones who know how to deal with the pressure of competition, leaving the humans to make hilarious character humour; which is a humour that I rather dislike, but in the case of these films, I find it refreshing and ultimately very well written.

So there it is. Three months of my life condensed into a few poorly-thought out paragraphs of text that no one will ever read...

Makes me feel just dandy...
