Bunnies!

Thought it was hilarious.

This is my bday present from Zach

Yes, this is what he actually sent me, I didn't change this in any way. I'm dead serious.

My best friend trolls the fuck out of me!

There's A Lot of Tags on This Box

That's right! I just managed to use Blogger to make a lame joke about presents! I am THE MASTER.

So I decided to cheese Christmas this year by just doodling one picture for the people that bother talking to me on a daily basis/big contributors for inane things we do/people I didn't forget about, instead of doing them individually. Also you can marvel at my use of Photoshop filters to make it seem as if I spent more than 10 minutes on the "background".

But seriously, happy holidays everyone. :)

TF2: Double drop rate week + key

From today (December 23rd) to my bday (December 30th) is double drop rate week on TF2.

Which, as much as i bitch about valve handling updates like shit, is a nice move for once. Would had been nice if they had done this last week so everyone could had enjoyed a lil more of the new weaponry, but nice all the same.

Miss Pauling has stated her desire to gift each of you with a "stocking stuffer."

Woohoo! Miss Pauling is now my fav TF2 supporting character!

Steam mega sales

Some crazy awesome deals in there...

There's gonna be daily deals, so check back each day.

TF2: Moar crap released.

Ok, Here's what's new:

• New Heavy Medic and Demoman sets
• New game mode
  
• bunch of random worthless weapons all around
• REALLY bad hats with possibly only 1 or 2 exceptions
• Xmas keys

That means the hunt for fucking new items is on again, HOWEVER, since there's new sets, there's one thing i had to check right away:

Er... dispenser taunt? Kinda want.

HATS DON'T FACTOR INTO THE SETS ANYMORE.

Valve finally realized how horribly stupid their first sets were, I'm expecting the first sets to have the hats removed from them as well relatively soon.

As for Xmas crates:

Got 5 of those crates to trade so far, interested? let me know.

No, fuck you Valve. Especially because they only got the concept half right:

That crate only drops new stuff, however, it drops ALL the new stuff, which i will now list:

• Jag
• Candy Cane
• Fists of Steel
• The Back Scratcher
• The Claidheamohmor
• Defiant Spartan
• Detective Noir
• A Rather Festive Tree
• Exquisite Rack
• Buckaroos Hat
• Prince Tavish's Crown
• Coupe D'isaster
• Blighted Beak
• Madame Dixie
• German Gonzila
• Pyromancer's Mask
• Le Party Phantom
• Industrial Festivizer
• Larrikin Robin
• Or an Exceedingly Rare Special Item!

Seems that a lot of the new items are from an unoficial update from way way back, well over a year ago i think. These were some of the first hat and weapon mods. All the items are still listed on the wiki page about it.

As anyone can see, a LOT of the items implemented are from that set.

Haven't tried the new medievil mode, but I'm not expecting much out of it.

I gotta b honest, and ask "Why?" those, even at the time, sucked. the only one that is remotely OK is "détective noir" but the fedora is way nicer anyway. It baffles the mind why Valve consistently picks such horrible hats to include in their updates when the continuity hates them.

Much like the past update, the new hats will b popular for a bit, and then horribly drop in value once the "new" factor is gone.

However, the time is ripe for making good trades. Good luck guys.

An interesting read about Starcraft 2

For some reason, I'm always interested in analysis of games and companies who make them, and the good or bad decisions they make that really ruin the game or make it a masterpiece.

I loved Warcraft 3, and used to play it WAY too much. I don't think that in my lifetime I'll get to ever enjoy something as fun and involving as playing a full game of the official Footmen Frenzy.

Warcraft is pretty much dead now, Blizzard/Activision killed it, so my only hope was Startcraft 2 even though I'm not a fan of space themes.

I mentioned in the past that blizzard is selling us (europeans) Starcraft 2 for 72 dollars or so. (and that their tech support is disorganized as fuck.)

I still planned on getting it eventually.

But today i ran into this: Battle.net 2.0: The Antithesis of Consumer Confidence

I didn't know of lot of the facts listed in that article, and about how fucking awful battle.net 2.0 was. This literally nullifies my interest in the game, there's literally no reason I'd want to play it now.

It's kind of amazing: You got this great game, it looks awesome and plays well, but you won't let people enjoy it as they want to, so what's the use?

I guess it's better I found out about it now then after purchasing it though.

I want one!

Who wouldn't?

Killing Floor event and Steam's treasure hunt.

I've been thinking about killing floor lately, but haven't seen much of a point to play it by myself with strangers.

Then today, saw this:

www.killingfloorthegame.com/xmas/

It does feel lately that the best way for valve to sell games is to give u a TF2 hat for it. but the insane thing is, it works.

However it's nice to see new stuff on Killing Floor, if it just had a nice art style, it'd b a way more popular game.

As you guys may know, right now steam is doing a treasure hunt thing where if u complete objectives you can earn TF2 hats (big surprise) and be eligible to b one of the 20 people that will win the top 5 games in their wishlist every 2 days.

But there's more, if u complete 10 objectives, you're eligible to win 100 games on Steam.

Treasure hunt info: steampowered.com/treasurehunt

To be noted, it's sort of a dick move that some of those objectives require you to own games to get them, but heh, i guess that's OK.

I Love Old Stuff.

How come there isn't a videogame starring Billy Idol doing lighting pelvic thrusts at zombies yet?

Billy Idol. Always Win.

Opening of the new oekaki

Ok, There's the new Oekaki, i set up a button for it on the side.

What's different? honestly not much.

• The new Oekaki does have a theme matching the blog.
• We'll features a "suggested theme" that we'll change every once in a while.

It's on a free server, speed and uptime may be inconsistent, so we'll see how good it works out as time goes.

Please tell me he's for real!

Oh dear god.

Also, related.

Finally something good on my TV

We don't get NBC or TBS in portugal, however one of our TV stations broadcasted Conan's show and it's one of the few things i liked watching on TV.

So when Conan left the tonight show, i didn't think I'd get to watch him on TV anymore cause if he got a new show on another company our TV station prolly wouldn't purchase the rights for it.

Thankfully, I've been known to b wrong, and saw his show on Portuguese TV just a bit ago. God damn i missed it.

His facial hair still feels weird to me.

On a side note:



I'm setting up a new Oekaki on a server that for once is not my computer, so it should have better up time than me. It can be a slow server, but it was free and has no limits.

It'll be a lil trial of sorts, but i really hope this one works out and becomes a tad more popular.

If there's any pics u want to save from the current Oekaki, better do it now.
