First of all. I don't have a topic title. I don't want to think of a topic title. This is just another rant, SO WHY MUST I HAVE A TITLE!!? Maybe by the end of this I'll think up a boring title that doesn't grab too much attention. Something discreet, boring, unneccessary, unmoral, useless and a jerk.
This is brutal. I just had my internet suddenly shut down, so I rewrote the blog. Then, suddenly, the internet popped back up again after I finished the remade blog. So I have two different blogs here, both of them differing, and I'm not sure which one to post. Well, I'll do both. Mesh 'em together. Here goes the first part:
Well, I'm not quite sure what got me to posting a blog. For some reason I just tapped onto GS, clicked my name, and here I am. I guess I'll write a general overview of the past while for me since I haven't been in touch for you guys in a while. This time, I'm not going to talk about how much I've missed GS, because I have done so for the past few blogs - and (oh, piss) there I went and became a hypocrite.
Sorry, my mind is in the hay right now. And with it general typing abilities.
Anywho. I have currently finished reading the following books, just let me know if you want my opinion on any of them. Don't PS me, because I have had a nasty habit of just deleting all the messages from there (sorry if someone was trying to contact me - though I don't know what it could be about). Well, here's the list:
Mass Effect: Revelation
Under a Velvet Cloak
Cube's Quest
House of the Scorpion
Flowers for Algernon
Lord of the Flies (again)
And I think I read some others, though they aren't coming to mind right now. And I'm currently reading Foundation, The World Without Us, The Time Traveler's Wife, Currant Events, and Robot Adept. And that's the reasont that I haven't read many books lately; I'm busy reading them all! I was also reading a book called 'American Gods,' but it was so odd and confusing that I had to put it down. Anyways, I've also resubscribed from my next year of Scientific American, but I haven't resubscribed for PC Gamer.
Programming-wise, I am/have making/made an awesome java game. The reason for the slashes (/), is because it is a step-by-step process. I currently have it avaible as a single-player-shoot-the-turret-glitchy-game. But, I plan to hook it up over the school servers and see where it goes from there. Ah! Forgot to talk about it! It's a wickedly-amateur game, same view as the Synergistic Studios 'Dodgeball' game, except a shooter. You move around with WASD, and the guy faces wherever the mouse is. Click to shoot, run away from bullets, and it's non-stop action until the game stops. (I know that doesn't make sense - but it will eventually be non-stop action, because it'll be hell to try to make it stop). Anywho, I have great (somewhat great) expectations for it. That computer programming award at the school is mine! ...Next year at least...
As for Writing, I have continued in my incredible quest to write a novel. The first chapter and most of the second chapter are done, and if any of you like sci-fi; read it, weep, and criticize! Go all out with the latter, but weep only in limited quantities. If your keyboards short out from water damage (or tear damage) it'll be hard to criticize the work. It's known as; the Aperture. Epic name. And the first bit of the first chapter is available at: www.booksie.com/MadeinFinland. If you don't like booksie.com, here's a pdf from booksie.com: http://www.booksie.com/science_fiction/novel/madeinfinland/aperture-short-chapters/nohead/pdf/ver/8.
Mind that though there's a bunch of short chapters, all the ones with the same name are in fact the same chapter. I found that no one liked to comment or read stories with A LOT of visible writing, so I cut it short for criticism's sake.
As for what I'm most thrilled about coming up. PROTOTYPE! I have been the proudest fan since they announced it. From the first time I saw it, I knew it could be epic. I had my doubts along the way; they could have easily destroyed the game. And they still could easily do so. But from what I see, they've made one hell of a game, and I can't wait until it's released.
As for recent, BIOSHOCK 2!! You get to be a big daddy! Awesome. Apparently they're making the big daddy faster and stuff, saying that they were old and slow in the first game. It's a bit of a messy reason, but understandable. Also, you'll still be able to use plasmids, though they're changing the levels for them around a bit. Good improvement. Can't wait for the game, the story looks amazing, and I wonder if you'll meet other big daddies? Will you have big daddy versus big daddy fights? That would be wicked. The idea of the Big Sister freaks me out though, she's going to be the scariest person in the game. But they better, and they will, make the sequel rock.
As for me, I really have to go to the washroom, so I've decided this is a viable point to end this blog. If you've got Steam, I'm chickengod98, or MadeinFinland depending. Still playing Team Fortress 2, though I've recently been replaying Far Cry 2. To those about to rock, I salute you. For the horde! Carna mi Fin-nor. Whatever else chants and departure-type things I could say. Salut, goodbye and ciao! Until the next time I blog.
PS. Be sure to check out the Aperture!
