Well, let me just say that my resident town in North Wales does not get good weather very often. Sheets of rain, gale-force winds, and, the killer - indifferent overcast days - you name it, we receive it regularly.
But one thing we don't get too often is the wonderful glow of incandescent sunshine. And that's exactly what's blasted the clouds away with vengeance since the weekend, and even if it is 6/6/06, apocalyptic weather doesn't seem to be on the agenda. And, even better, there has been no sign of kids called Damian. ;) (If you've seen the original Omen you'll know what I mean) :twisted:
It's a good job my athletics championship is tomorrow rather than today, for that precise reason. I'm participating in just one event - the 1500m - so I need the best of luck wished my way for that one. I've never been too shabby at longer-distance races, so I hope I'll do well, but still, overconfidence often leads to failure. :)
On the video blog subject, I'm sadly postponing that project. :cry: Problems with uploading are ensuing all over the place, but if I eventually overcome these glitches, then I'll let you know.
And I still don't have Photoshop either. :(
As for GameSpot, I'm still toiling away at Level 20, and there is no sign of prevailing soon. I entered this level what seems like months ago and I am currently 18% through; to all people who have not yet reached this level, brace yourself, because it sucks. For all people higher than Level 20, you are all too lucky for your own good and I hope you can appreciate the hardship of being a Metal Slime. ;)
As for gaming, I haven't touched Empire At War, Metal Gear Solid 2, or War of the Ring for the last two days! I need to start playing some of all three games, but for now, one game dominates my agenda, and we all know which one that is. ;)
I played a few games today, and they were mixed bags. I got a bit of rivalry with one player, and here's the story - he was a spectator, commenting on random stuff and genuinely being irritating, so I told him to join the game or shut the hell up. So my harsh words forced him to join in, and I punished him by firing a few rockets his way. He fired a barrage of shrapnel back.
Secondly, a n00b joined our game! Yay! Time to poke fun at n00bs! Seriously, this guy was driving a Manta and shooting at a Red Powernode. Perfectly acceptable behaviour, yeah? Problem is, the Reds had just destroyed the Powernode we had linked to it, so for those who don't know, the link was broken and obviously the Powernode was shielded. But the n00b in question was firing at the node for a good thirty seconds before he realized we were laughing at him! :twisted: Ah, bliss. :lol:
And then someone joined the game and got a PPH of 460. Guess how? He was using an aimbot. Basically, the lowest form of cheating. I hate guys like that.
Just to keep your attention longer, I also finished the single-player on Skilled difficulty. Pretty hard in the final few rounds.
And, now, I have officially ran out of things to say, so, without further ado, I'll leave you to post comments in the flimsy comments section. Like usual, hm?
