I'm already trying to mentally prepare myself for the reality that this series is about to end.

Seriously, when new episodes get released it is the bright spot of my day/week/month

 

...it's gonna...it's gonna be okay...the withdrawls will pass

I'm also a bit disheartened by the thought that this series is about to end, but I can't help but be excited thinking about what might come next.

Welcome, Taco! Can I call you Taco? Imma call you Taco.

Your job sounds really fun. Like, the kinda fun that I can understand even if I know little about it. Whereas my job described to people is along the lines "so.... you type code at a computer for hours upon hours?" "Yeah, it's so much fun!" "... right..." I'm a bit curious as to what you have designed, assuming you're even allowed to talk about it(I know how some industries get about their things. )

Still trying to figure out how I went from reading a story to searching through psychology textbooks trying to figure out the inner workings of the character. O_o

I just found a chrome addon that completely disables all youtube comments from appearing on videos I watch, finally putting a stop to my primal instinctive urge to read humanity's bottom-of-the-barrel translated into the english language and finally begin to mend my heavily wounded hope for the human race through clever and liberal application of blissful ignorance.

Today is a good day.

Eating all that food left me hungry.

I'm not entirely sure about the inner workings of the damage settings he has going but I'm wondering if he tweaked the damage for the Gonarch fight. Most enemies died so easily in the past but that thing carried on like a champ of champs through those attacks making me feel like he changed the damage. Could just be that thing is harder to kill than I remember it. O_o

 

From the first post/front page:

 

Here is one of the most climatic episodes from Half-Life! I actually couldn’t remember how to beat this level initially and had to look it up. I’ve never been a fan of “bullet sponge” enemies in games unless they LOOK like they can take an incredible amount of punishment. This is the reason I’ve often tweaked the damage settings in Half-Life, since I’m used to organic things dying relatively quickly against modern military equipment, even if they’re big. That approach just simply wasn’t doable for this episode, so you get to see more of the normal game experience.

Wow, I uh, should have seen that. My bad. >_<

Thanks for pointing that out though.

I laughed harder at the "so far so not dead" than I probably should have. It's been my reply to people asking me how I am at school for the past few months so I was surprised to hear it here. XD

I kinda want to make a particle system involving a single bat in UDK and start putting it in anything I make there from now on.

I want particle bat to live.

The songs and music were the only things that stayed consistently well made imo.

Probably because it's still Daniel Ingram making them.

My friend gifted me Skyrim on Steam.

My favorite gay joke, ironically from Tumblr(where jokes aren't jokes):

"I'd never want gay parents because I don't want to get stuck in an endless loop of 'go ask your mother'"

I pop on from time to time but I mostly just do MvM when I do. I joined a new friend from school a little while back as scout tought and apparently I haven't gotten that bad since my absence. Though scout dominating a newbies pub server is hardly anything special. I did remember how much I missed being called a hacker.

TF2: Raw mouse input to win.

Pastel Donkey songs from Pastel Donkey Movie 2: Pastel Rocks

The songs are fun to listen to. Sue me.

Screenshot of the starting area for my CryEngine game. It's so close to being beta-level done but I'm almost out of time. :S

We should start a top for map editors and game engines. There's certainly at least some interest here.

my desktop is really starting to get cluttered with files for the stuff I'm working on. I cleaned it up a bit for the screenshot (notice the "dump" folder) but a few I need to leave there.

I believe I've said it before already but I can't pass up this opportunity to make fun of my fellow statesman and their attitudes towards weather.

I'm from California, where the slightest bit of moisture in the air is the end of the god damned world.

I don't know the correct terms, but in essence:

-Fear of dolls and mannequins. I can function fine at a department store, but only if I'm with someone.

-Fear of deep, dark water. While I'm fascinated with sea creatures and the ocean, I still have to fight against hyperventilation if I think about being down in the water where the sun doesn't reach.

-INTENSE fear of cockroaches. I had the worst panic attack in years earlier this year when I opened my backpack to find a roach in it.

-INTENSE fear of heights.

Mentally organizing today's work before I start on finalizing my CryENGINE level. My friend gave me an idea that while it's a lot of work to make this change, it'll change how the game plays astronomically. "Dude, make it night time and add fires."

-I work faster and more efficiently under the effects of alcohol (obvious exception of being piss-drunk)

-I can sleep under the effects of caffeine just fine.

-While I can still get them, I'm very resistant to cavities.

-I have different personalities depending on the friends I'm with. Some friends I'm a lot louder around, joke around a lot with, etc., where other friends I'm more quiet, reserved, etc. All of these sides of me are completely me though. None of it is forced or faked.

-Despite how loud I can get around some friends, I'm highly introverted. I take more comfort in quiet, empty areas than anywhere else. I don't even really like parties.

-I absolutely love reading. I mostly just read stories online such as fanfictions or other works(because I've run out of books at home to read and fanfictions are free.), but the past year alone I've read the equivalent of about 30 books, and there was at least 2 periods this year where I went months without glancing at a book due to lack of time. Since August, I've read at least 3 stories with over 200,000 words a story(average novel length is over 40k words). Where most people binge TV shows, I binge stories. My "read later" list is at 156 stories long so far.

My list:

-The word "Overrated". It's a word that implies something is factually bad when it reality you just don't like something and don't like that others like it.

-Superiority complexes

-Elitism

-Racism

-Sexism

-Radicalism

-Dangerous bi/homo/transphobia

-Misinformation

-Corruption

-Youtube comment section

-Forcing of beliefs onto others

-Every humans weird need to try and tell others how to live their life. We're all guilty of it, no exception. Even I'm guilty of it from time to time but I usually catch myself before I make an idiot of myself.

-Unhealthy levels of self-entitlement.

I've become very antisocial lately and I blame the internet mostly. :S

"What do you like to look up online"

"Lemme answer that question by NOT answering that question."

-Conversation I overheard today at Taco Hell.

I work better when impaired.

This suggestion was for people who already own the game. And not everyone wants to use torrents.

Not to mention this method would be faster and easier since, with the case of ATL, you find the uploaded version, hit New Instance, and boom. copy works. This all happens through the launcher itself so no need to hunt online for the version.

I'm actually doing fine. It's challenging because I can't just run around like an idiot and grab whatever. I gotta think about what I'm doing, look for new ways to do what would have been simple by knocking them out. I'm rapidly discovering the level design is extremely well thought out. There is no place in the game where there's only one way to do something.

That and robbing an entire jewelry store underneath the nose of the guard patrolling it and then robbing the guard blind was more exciting than the first time I went through there.

I'm honestly having more fun than when I attempted the Ghost playthrough of DX:HR.
