New focus incoming

I made an early new years resolution to finish my left 4 dead level I started. I hope to have it finished before 2010 is over. This would be a big accomplishment for me because I have started many levels for duke nukem 3d, blood, counter-strike and day of defeat, and only finished 1.

I also decided to use my blog to track my progress so it hopefully keeps me on track, so this blog will now be a mix of my findings and thoughts still, but now mapping also.

My first post is to show that yesterday 12/1/09 I finished adding the bathrooms to the office building i was making. I still need to add the sink and mirror. It took me over an hour because after awhile of adjusting the size of the room I had to look up how to do the stalls. I am only worrying about structure and not doing textures until after. In the past i tried to do everything at once and got overwhelmed. So here's some pictures of what I got so far:

 

Next time I am just going to link a video or something these pictures are lame to post

well excuuuuuuuuuse me princess

This is very nerdy but apparently people are trying to look into the timeline of zelda and put the games in some sort of order. I gave up on that after OOT, and just figured it was a totally different game each time, no connection to be made to the other games. But I am across these zelda fanatics and they have to say about the same thing each time with some varity. Also apparently there are single time line believers and split time line believers. I think the split time line is more believable because the world wouldn't just end after link gets sent back, those people would still exist in that time line... well it's up to you to decide, this is what I watched in this order:

It's been awhile

It has been awhile but I have so much, so it makes up for it.

First up its the best game in the world The Last Guardian. If you played Shadow of the Colossus or Ico for ps2 then you will love this game.. if you haven't played Shadow of the Colossus then you need to buy it and play it now.

Secondly I have found a couple of weeks ago the best website with awesome videos that come out weekly, that I think everyone should watch. The website is http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ and the 3 video series you should watch are:
1. Zero Punctuation
2. Unskippable
and my new favorite:
3. Unforgotten Realms

make sure you watch all the series from episode/video 1 to the latest

Welcome to the jungle

found it while looking for a good defrag.

It's time to kick @ss and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum

There is one game that I will always remember. It was my very first multiplayer game for the computer, and a good game altogether. Duke Nukem 3D. "Hail to the king, baby". It was also the first game that I made custom levels for.

There was an announcement that 3d Realms closed, and people are going crazy, but 3D realms was a part of http://www.apogeesoftware.com/ and Apogee Software is still around so its going to be okay right?

They are still making Duke Nukem trilogy, which everyone should support the Duke by purchasing so maybe they will make Duke Nukem Forever. PLEASE!

Also today was a big day I came across these 2 fan made movies with a few thousand dollar budgets check em out:

We are the energy We are the same as you

I just had a 5 hour energy for the first time, and I decided to go with the extra strength one.
If you don't exercise as much as you should, I recommend (with all energy drinks), to drink half, then wait 1 hour, and then finish it. That's what I did cause I didn't want any accidents with my heart or anything. I have to agree with this blog that it is okay tasting, and it gave me so much energy. I was a little jittery, but no crash, just slowly getting tired after the 5 hours at a normal rate.

I found a very well thought out and done article on top CPU coolers. I love the way they explain at the end their conclusions and test strategies. This whole site has good articles about benchmarkness or computer overclocking or whatever tickles you in that place.

if the link doesn't work just goto http://benchmarkreviews.com

I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better

No not the song by lonestar

but only THEE most awesomeist thing i have ever seen. And yes awesomeist and all caps thee is totally proper English to use when talking about this:

go there and click half-life 2. If you never played the game then you wont get it. but if you have your in for the biggest treat of your life.

We didn't start the fire, but it was always burning

I can't believe that the game Jagged Alliance 2 still has people playing it, updating it, there is a huge cult following of this turned based, strategy game.

At this site you can find tons of information on the old game. The community apparently made a full rewrite of the game, adding tons of features and making it mod friendly. Also people made a multiplayer patch for the new version 1.13. This is crazy. I reinstalled ja2 because I was itching to play it again. I installed this new 1.13 version and started playing. I took over area you start in and the first town to the right, but as I was recovering and training militia reinforments came flooding in and killed all my mercs, the game play is still hard as ever and I just don't understand how to be good. oh well. Why I wanted to play is this game was cool. You could climb roofs, prone, crouch, stealth, throw knifes, all kinds of gernades, you could explode walls and go in from the hole, wire cut fences, it was awesome but I still don't get why its so hard and people say its easy.

My mercs could never see the enemy but they could see me, my guns are out of range but with a pistol they have perfect accuracy and hit me and kill me.
