Left 4 Dead 2 Demo – AU Review

Friday, November 6th, 2009

I have to say it, if you live in Australia it’s not worth buying it.

I’m not saying that blood and gore are entertainment, it’s just there is no atmosphere in a zombie game where the zombies just fade away instead of collapse in a mess.

I played the demo and found it to be completely boring, no atmosphere compared to the old one and it just bored me to tears.

… Then I found some instructions for a small change to the files to enable the “US Version” and wow, the game is awesome, riot police zombies appearing in mobs of enemies, trying to survive with a melee weapon while getting surrounded and your screen getting blurry with bodily fluids, it was just plain Awesome.

So the summary is, if you’re not in .au or .de then PREORDER NOW, if you ARE in .au or .de then just play the old one and wish your OFLC or equivalent wasn’t full of morons.

(really, I wasn’t going “eiiiiw blood” when I played the US version, I was just scared that there was a metric crap ton of zombies running at me and hoping my shotgun would have enough rounds, oh and if you think children shouldn’t be seeing blood and guts, then check the damned rating CHILDREN SHOULDN’T BE PLAYING IT ANYWAY *end of rant*)

Updated Wordpress

Monday, April 28th, 2008

It has been a while since I updated this web log, my free time has seriously shrunk to very unmanagable levels.

I’m currently studying at QUT LS37, “Applied Science (Medical Science)” while working full time at a coding company in the CBD (I’m working as a System Administrator in an excellent team).

I’ll try (again) to update a little more often, but lately I haven’t had many side projects.

I’ve changed the way wordpress is setup on my server to make updates *alot* easier, hell I could probably write a 10 line shell script to do updates automatically for me … I may just do that and publish it here so others can learn from it.

Well, I’ll keep this update as short as possible, but it is great to be back. I have a lab practical report to finish writing for Chemistry at the moment, so I better get back to that.

Themes broken again

World of Warcraft and the downfall of society

Thursday, June 28th, 2007

How many sonnets have not been written because someone was too busy trying to grind their rep for Lower City.

I’m about to cancel my WoW subscription, and I just realised how much time I spent playing.  I haven’t played since the weekend and I found myself finally finishing some scripts I started months ago and spending time solving some little problems that have been bugging my on my home workstation.

So I wondered once I noticed how much I had done since giving up WoW, and that’s during the week when I barely get any time to play WoW, i’m starting to think that the world in general maybe hurting from the excessive obsession some people have for MMO’s.  Technically any obsession can affect a persons direction, but this is very specific, so many people play WoW to the exclusion of all else, I only reinstalled Steam last night after I realised my desktop only had WoW and Second Life installed.

I guess I’ll spread the word, get people out of Azeroth and into at least some form of Real Life(TM)

Google won’t search for Chuck Norris

Chuck Norris

Remember: Google won’t search for Chuck Norris because it knows you don’t find Chuck Norris, he finds you.

The goal is to get high enough that if people search for “Chuck Norris” and hit “I’m Feeling Lucky” they get that page.

I’ve had a friend asking what I had in my home machine, I thought it might be useful to list it here.

Blackout Band – Worst. Band. Ever.

Sunday, March 25th, 2007

You may have heard of this as one of the new things going around the Internet.

It’s a group of “spoilt kids” trying to be a rock band, I won’t link them here, I don’t want to help their google rating (like I would anyway, I know where my mediocrity stands) but www. “name that cannot be spoken but is in the topic” .com

They’re literally shocking, i’m amazed noone had slapped them upside the head and told them how bad they are directly, I guess their parents are too far into the “buying love” stage to realise how much damage letting children have their flights of fancy can do to them as Adults.

I’d like to point one thing out, “streetblaster.com” doesn’t seem to exist anymore, and from what I can see at the web.archive.org it wasn’t a site for quite a while and then “may” have been a site up until recently.

UPDATE: It was streetblast.com, they misspelt it (Thanks Eclipz).

I’ll leave the comments for the people that want to read them, but Cambion, Kooby and Myself have had quite a laugh.

New Website – Menu Planet

Monday, March 19th, 2007

I started a new website, whenever i’m at work and we want to order some food in we can never find the menu’s

Someone is always hoarding them, and we can never find them.

So I proposed we start putting them somewhere online, so we can access them whenever we need them.

This has spawned “Menu Pla.net

Just Linking – My friend Faust

Monday, March 19th, 2007

I have a friend, he’s been my friend since I was young and stupid, I know if Cambion reads this he’d ask me to be more specific as that could be last week. :)

He’s been my friend as long as I can remember, and probably then some. We don’t see each other often any more, as people get older and move apart we rarely see those friends from when we were children, but every now and then I see my IM flash with a “hey” or “y0″ and sometimes a “kosh”.

So i’m posting a link to his “blog” (I still maintain this site is a “Web Log” not a “blog”)

Click here to read his works

I like to refer to my friends by their handles, and to tell the truth, I don’t know what his current handle is. Maybe it’s about time I asked.

UPDATE: My Friend Faust.
