Desert in Counter-Strike

Progress pictures as of 11-1-07:



I think I did the center stairs justice.



From here you can see the passageway into the lower ammo bunker.

See that red highlighted block? I might leave that there as a prime sniper spot, since you can see a whole lot of the map from up there. The tall, thin crimson blocks are ladders.

The purple boxes are spawn points.

That's the lower ammo bunker from above.

Halo 3: A Cathedral Erected of Win and Awesome

Halo 3 made $170 million on its first day out.

In comparison, here's a picture of the PS3 doing what it does best:

$1,000 well-spent. That's right. $1,000. That's what the PS3 REALLY costs.

$500-600= PS3 cost.

The rest= The cost in emotional pain of being mentally teabagged against your will by Kaz Hirai.

Patent Pending

This isn't one of my longer rant-posts, but more of a creative spark:

Keyboards should have a LOL button. Imagine how much effort that would save. Press one button and BAM! You've just told someone that you don't care what they just said.

I'll be visiting the patent office soon..

"69 Percent of American Heads-of-Households are Miserable Addicts"

According to a rather flattering discovery by the now-laughable American Medical Association, video games are being considered on the same level as cocaine, heroin, and other addiction-causing bad things. That's right.

VIDEO GAMES ARE ADDICTIVE, DESTROY FAMILIES, AND DESTROY LIVES.

-Stupid as hell news article, 2007.

You know what I say to that article?
ROFL.

Take a few minutes to read this article. Seriously. It's a good laugh.

See? Hilarious. This is my exact reply in that forum:

"I seriously laughed out loud when I read this article in the newspaper. I think it's hilarious how ignorant the general public can be to technologies they don't use. Ask an uncle who doesn't know about archery to buy you a bow and he thinks you're a violent maniac. I compare this to ADD. There's almost no proof it exists, yet it's backed by the AMA and there are plenty of drugs available to "cure" it.
You got a kid who acts up too much? BAM! Slap on the ADD label and milk it for all it's worth.
Got a kid who prefers his favorite strategy game over you, his bad parents? BAM! You can slap on him your new mental disorder. And now you don't have to do anything about it! Or you could give him drugs for a condition that's purely arbitrary... Out of spite maybe? Who knows.I play plenty of video games every day and my IQ is 136. I wonder how many crack addicts are that intelligent."

It really is 136. I'm reasonably sure. At least, that's what I got on one of my IQ tests...

Oh, and according to the ESA, 69% of American heads of households play video games regularly. I challenge any drug company to force it down America's throat that nearly 3/4ths of all American homeowning adults are miserable, friendless, antisocial addicts.

OMG THE GOVERMENT BLEW UP TOWERS ON 911

It's late right now, and I'll edit this later, so I'll sum this up:

• Rosie O'Donell can go fuck herself with a belt sander.
• All 9/11 conspiracists are like Christians: They think they're right and they've got no proof of anything (except for THE BIBLE/ LOOSE CHANGE).
• Atheists who believe in bullshit like the 9/11 conspiracy should first convert to scientology and then be shot at least 69 times.
• Maddox should be made President, so we can finally initiate a ball-smashing campaign against conspiracist dipshits everywhere.
• DragonForce is awesome.

Some More Screenshots to be Amazed by

This is what came out of a LONG day with some friends at my house. They just wanted to watch me play because everyone at my house and everyone in the game agreed that I am a fucking steamroller when it comes to Halo PC.

Dude. Blaze sucks.

So far no one has accused me of editing these pictures, but rest assured, there are at least 3 people in EVERY game I play who accuse me of hacking. No one ever realizes that I get this many kills because:

A) The game was 3 hours long,
B) Most people eventually quit and lose all their kills,
C) I play really well,
D) Usually no one in the whole game except for me knows how to kill a cheap spawn-killer.







Besides that work of art, here's something that my cheap Norton Internet Security had to warn me about:

(Click on picture for a larger version)

(Larger version does not work. Gah.

It thinks Internet Explorer is malicious programming.)

Oh man. Despite the fact that that was a few months ago, I dug it up today and I had to laugh again at the relationship between Internet Explorer and Norton.

Gradius 3 and Halo 3.

I read Maddox's article on Ikaruga (again), and I decided I should look for some other ball-smashing games. And I found one- on the SNES- called Gradius 3. I'll use a simple explanation of why this game is so awesome: The game was immediately pulled from arcades because it was so hard. Even though I beat the game in Hard mode, I still played it on an emulator and used state saves to beat it just to get to the ending. It's impossible to win the game all in one run without dying once. If you like Galaga, this game is for you.



On another note, I GOT INTO THE HALO 3 BETA PROGRAM!! AWESOME!!! HAHAHA!!!

I (don't) feel sorry for everyone who wasn't in the first 13,333. I actually registered at about 4:00 PM on the first day. Suck on that, Crackdown noobs.

You, unlike me, will not get to play until late 2007, unless you buy Crapdown. Hah.
