Journal Nyder's Journal: today is a good day to get [Fill in Blank] 2
What's up?
Que Pasa?
Well, it's 4:20 as far as I'm concerned. Lately I picked up the Half-life series, original Half-Life, as it plays on my laptop okay (if you count using the software engine, 640x480 okay) 15-20 fps is about what it averages. Can't use DirectX because the glass isn't see-thru. Looks better otherwise and plays nicer, but not sure what the fps is because fraps doesn't work under the DirectX option. Works fine is software mode though.
So I got Blue Shift, counter Strike, and Half-Life Game of the year Edition. All brand new, all were cheap. Working CD keys, so I can play online without being a sneak. =)
Just what's up with these steam stuff? Crazy, and the update from inside the half-life games is broken. the newest version seems to be later then the version half-life thinks it needs, so you can't download anything directly, you have to go to a web site. of course, I end up at fileplanet, and wait in the damn que like an idiot. on top of that blunder, I grab 8 other files, and they all want to download at the same time, and it says, sure, no problem, a few hours, tops. sike! even when I decided to close all but the shortest (15 megs) and the Counter Strike update, I only got half way through the CS because the 2 hours took longer then 4 hours and I had to go. Today I got a little smarter and used gamespot, since they start their downloads pretty much right away, and this time I'm grabbing the 20 meg 1.4 --> 1.5 update. I also have steam updateing in the background. it doesn't seem to be going superfast unless it's downloading a ton. probably reading all my data and sending it out to the spammers who are lining their pockets with Valve's money...
whatever that means, I'm not really sure myself.
anyways, the point I wanted to rant on today is:
Meta Mod and me
I metamod like a mofo. everyday I log in and I'm meta Mod'n. I do it like I'd do the jury duty if I was called to do it (thank god they don't) seriously. But, I mean, who mod's the Meta? man! sorry, I wasn't being serious their.
I read the FAQ.
I meta mod so much that I wasn't getting asked to mod normally even though it said that people that meta mod regulerly would mod more. but after reading the//slashdot.org/faq/">FAQ
now your saying, look, the clever bitch can finally put a tag inside an a href. about bloody time.
funny, I never noticed this before:
URLs http://example.com/ will auto-link a URL
thats it, I quit...
...until next time, of course. oh, the sun, the sun! aaaarrrrrggggghhhhhhh
(I live in seattle, and well, the sun just appeared from behind overcast weather, imagine the shock... this being summer and all. oh, good, its back behind clouds...

Seattle's insane. (Score:1)
I didn't experience real weather until I left there and moved to alaska.
Re:Seattle's insane. (Score:1)
though I'll bet alaska's pretty nice to live in. I've had roomies from there before, though they were all glad they left there, but then they were young and had lived there for their whole lives. I guess to be 18 and away from the small town (though I don't think Anchorage is that small, not sure though.)
you probably aren't missing much, moving from here.
