Pinch me, I must be stupid...

Has it ever occurred to anyone, that the painfully oft-used cliche of "Pinch me, I must be dreaming..." really makes no logical sense whatsoever? Think about it. One usually feels "pain" within a dream, anyway! It accomplishes nothing but wanky, redundant "dramatic effect". In fact, when is the last time that you even asked that in a dream? The saying should be "I am asking this, so I must not be in a dream!".

That aside, I am about to buy a new graphics card and, wait for it: actually  my Realtek HD Audio Manager fixed! Seriously. No joking. This is so historic, I think it deserves a paragraph break.

There we go. I am thinking of getting an nVidia GeForce 200 series, but you never know. The evil temptation that is ATI may seduce me. But more research must be done before such a purchase is made, considering high-end graphics cards are fairly expensive, I can't fuck around with this.

On a less-geeky note (are those notes even in my vernacular?), I am beginning to really take an interest in the British Science-Fiction series Red Dwarf... Wait, did I say less-geeky? I meant to say supporting of the argument that I have no life. It is really great, though. The humour and story elements hold up for a viewer who has never seen it before now (me) and I am sure that nearly every episode could still hook in a veteran of the series (not me) if they happened to catch a glimpse of the opening titles while flicking across T.V. stations on a Fri night. The theme-tune is very catchy, also - it has become a shower favourite, right behind Still Alive from Portal.

That's about all for now; a new video is coming soon. Well, right as soon as a begin work on it. Which is after I configure Sony Vegas. Which is right after I learn how to configure Sony Vegas. Which will be whenever. Also, I am working to get regular readers for this blog because as it stands, I think that the total readership is a friend of mine and a 40-year-old Spanish man who was in the mood for discount footwear but happened upon my previous post instead (mental note: thank Google!). The process of drawing in new readers is what I like to call "A two step process". Very technical, I know, but try not to lose focus. Here it is:

Step 1: Regulate post addition and (possibly) subtraction and multiplication. Wait, scratch those last two... This involves me writing better posts and submitting them more often and more regularly.

Step 2: Bask in readership. This one is more esoteric than Step 1, due to the fact that it may not happen. Here's hoping that Google, in all of its omnipotence, sends another elderly Spanish man unto my blog.

That's it.

Posty McPostson

Some things that have and have not happened that involve me and/or people or things that I know or are of interest to me:

- I now have admin on KFZ, which allows me to kick and/or ban players, change the map, call votes, noclip and a variety of other abilities that I can use to give myself an unfair advantage that I can laugh about.
- I finished my Zombie Panic: Source! map and submitted it to KFZ and we all play it often. I wasn't planning on it being so popular, but I enjoy playing it, so I care not.
- I have not yet fixed my Realtek HD Audio Manager. Wow, what has it been, like two months?

That's it, really. No new videos, because (believe it or not) I am quite busy at the moment.

It's 11:06 P.M. on a Wednes and I am sitting here watching some episode of Lost and I have no idea about what is going on. You (by which I mean no one except perhaps one of my friends) my have noticed that I called "Wednesday" simply as "Wednes". That is because it is a waste of time to type, write or say the "-day" part since every day of the week ends with "-day". I will not address this ever again, so take note. Here are some other things that haunt us with their redundancy:

- The "04-" at the beginning of a mobile phone number.
- Most phrases like "It's hot today..." or "My, that wind is fierce!" because if one was saying this to someone near them, both people would already know this. The only time that this may be appropriate to say was if there was a difference of opinion that one person was attempting to address.

I am plagued by it being 11:00 P.M. too much to continue this post, but I will close with this statement which is what I am hearing on television at this exact moment. Try, if you so wish, to find some philosophical meaning in this and then apply it to your own life. Or not - I really could not give half a shit.

*Close up of a pair of arms wheeling a wheelchair. The spokes are spinning*
"Let me help you."
"Did you find her?"
"Who?"
"Helen; the woman I was talking about. Your job is to get people to where they need to get to, well I need to get to her..."

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.
