I’m still alive. Don’t worry too much. I’ve been debating changing my theme for my blog, but I’m still attached to this theme. I have actually thought about making my own theme. That will take me a bit of time though. Not meaning to say that I won’t. CSS is pretty easy to work with, as is WordPress.
I’ve gotten back into Second Life. I forgot how interesting places in it can be. I have some long-time friends that still play it, so I go back to talking to them now. I also found a new avatar(for now) to use. ヽ(*・ω・)ﾉ
I’m still working to the bone, but I am starting to make more time for myself. I’m going to work on refreshing myself on CSS, learning lscript, and putting out random videos on my YouTube page. I love creating content, be it in SL, or for YouTube for people to see and give me feedback on. I absolutely love feedback, be it bad or good.
For some real life updates, I am going to go get my ID soon so I can look around for another or a new job. Not sure which I will do just yet, but I will figure that out. I am still having issues with my video card, but it isn’t anything too terrible. I can handle minor artifacts in DirectX 9 games. The amount of artifacts I get in DirectX 11 games is too much for me to handle.
I’ve kind of stalled on watching anime, but some of the series I have on the back-burner are these:
Honey & Clover II
Persona 4
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
Another (Final episodes)
Amagami SS Plus (Final Episodes)
I also found an amazing manga that I’ve been hooked on. Mind you, that is my opinion. It’s called, “Nononono”. I’d post the plot stuff, but I’m a bit too lazy for that at the moment.
I get really tired of MW3 and the people that play it some days. It’s either cheaters rampant, trash talkers, whiners, “trolls”, or just creepy stalkers. Cool story incoming…
I was playing some Domination on Modern Warfare 3. When the match began I said, “GL HF(Good luck, have fun)”, only to be called all kinds of names by this one kid who should /clearly/ be in bed. Well, the entire time during the match he sits there and tries his hardest to trash me for everything that I slip up on, i.e. Misplaced C4, got killed by a falling care package, etc. I get tired of the lobby because everybody is using a cheap class setup such as MP7 w/ rapid fire or PP90M1 w/ rapid fire, so I leave. What happens next?
The kid adds me. He starts spam messaging me, and keeps trying to harass me. Kinda creepy and stalker-like, right?
I’d rather deal with a cheater instead of some creepy stalker kid that adds me to friends and tries trashing me more. Mind you, I blocked and removed him, but the point is that people are a bit creepy when they go through that much effort just to keep trash talking.
As far as I know, I am still alive. I’ve just been lazy and busy for a while. I’ll leave a few updates I guess.
I’ve been really busy at work lately. I picked up overtime, and a lot of it. Never a bad thing, right? More money is always good, especially at minimum wage. ヘ(-_-ヘ) I’ve been trying to find a “real” job that pays a decent wage, but that is hard to do when you live in a small town and have no car. ( ´,_ゝ｀)
I’ve not been watching much anime lately. I actually stalled again on this season’s episodes of Another, Amagami SS Plus, and Nisemonogatari. I’ve been reading gender bender manga a lot lately though.
As for gaming, I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 again. Throw in some Minecraft and Counter-Strike: Source, and that’s about all I’ve done with gaming. I’ve been playing around in FL Studio some as well, but I haven’t really gotten anywhere with that. I forgot to mention that I have also been playing a little World of Warcraft, but who really give a shit about that game. Gaming is a bit of a pain to me though because my video card is currently dying. I get lots of video artifacts after extended playtime. I am pretty sure I need a new video card.
Wow, my mind is all over the place right now… I can’t even think of what to say / do. Oh, right, I also got a new phone which works very nicely. It’s the Samsung Illusion. I love it, compared to my old phone(s). ヽ(*ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ
Gaming is getting boring and aggravating for me. ;A; I’ve been trying to mix up my play style to keep things fun, but that only lasts a little while. I loaded up BF3, and recorded a clip of me doing stuff for the first time such as flying a plane. That was a riot. I eventually rage quit BF3 though. For CoD:MW3, it is so damn easy it bores me. I go out of my way to essentially troll kids and tell lobbies to tell me what guns, attachments, and perks to use. That is fun, especially when I destroy them, but it eventually gets old. I’m not sure what to really do anymore. Perhaps I will get into Python coding and make something like a *chan thread image downloader? We shall see.
Katawa Shoujo has been digging at me so badly. I keep hitting bad ends. I don’t even know what to do with it. I try to avoid what choices are “pity based”, but I guess I can’t do it well enough. ;-; I love the game, but the whole bad end time after time is just depressing. Regardless it is a great game. I will try harder to get through it!
Welp, I need to get some notebooks and stuff so I can get started with Japanese. I am going to try to snag some stuff to help me with it from a friend. `-` I need to go through all this stuff for Comiket81. Haven’t taken the time or anything to do so recently.
It snowed yesterday pretty hard. It gradually got worse than in that picture about 10 minutes later. I can deal with snow. Shoveling isn’t all that hard, right? Especially since I got a new coat! Now -21c is nothing!
I just bought this game for Brandon, Brad, and I. We are gonig to see how it is. 3-pack for $6.50 on steam sale? Hell yes. It is small and the videos look kickass. I can even use a controller with it!
I’ve been playing a lot of Dungeon Defenders lately, and I mean a lot. My friends and I are now farming Nightmare Endless Spires for mythical gear, and as you can see it works very well. We tend to keep all the mythical quality stuff that we pick up so we can sell it in our AFK shops. My gear and stats aren’t the best right now, but they are getting better. Soon I will be geared out the ass, but that will be just in time for when the new downloadable content comes out. :V
I can’t get the file upload to work properly, so I will just link the chart here if you want to see it yourself. `-` Anyways, here is some of the anime I might watch this season…
Nisemonogatari
Amagami SS+
Recorder to Randoseru
Ano Natsu de Matteru
Black Rock Shooter
Kill Me Baby
Kyousogiga
Yep. That is what I am interested in. Now what anime I will actually follow is a whole different story, but Amagami SS+ and Nisemonogatari are obvious.
Holidays are so stressful. Ugh. Work mixed around it and interrupting plans is just something I can’t stand, but I have to deal with it. I couldn’t get Monday off, so I can’t go to see part of my family. It sucks.
I’ve been lazy with blogging. Bigtime. I made some more Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 videos though! Here is one, and I am off to work. Later!
I’m lazy. \o/ Go me. It has been 3 days since my last post, and I don’t really have much to talk about. The steam group’s music stream is working flawlessly, as far as I can tell. Oh! Right! I got my thermal paste! I also threw on this 2 year old aftermarket CPU cooler!
I know it is dusty. On Tuesday I am going to get a can of canned air. I’ll clean it up then. Anyways, I went from 52C idle temps to 28C. My peak temp under 100% load from Prime95 for ~8 hours is 52C. I am quite pleased with Arctic Silver 5 in combination with this heatsink, which was a bitch to install. Thank god it is compatible with my socket though. I still want to upgrade to an i5 / i7. That would beat the pulp out of my Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition. I’ll say that honestly, but that is because I am with AMD(LMFAO).
I need to get moving with Human Japanese before I lose all motivation for it. :/ Welp, I’m off for now.
Just ordered some Arctic Silver 5 thermal compound for my CPU! I have been in desperate need for some new thermal compound, so I finally bought some. I also got the fancy thermal compound removal kit. Now I won’t have to see my CPU temps breaking 68 C anymore, once I get the paste that is. Happy me is happy. I need to swing by Wal-Mart too and buy some more canned air so I can clean out my system as well.
Today was payday, and we get our money via direct deposit. Looks to me like our boss forgot to tell the payroll lady that me and my other co-worker worked extra hours…
tl;dr version: I got shorted cash on my check… again… I’m not happy. Whatever.
Don’t worry too much. I’ve been debating changing my theme for my blog, but I’m still attached to this theme. I have actually thought about making my own theme. That will take me a bit of time though. Not meaning to say that I won’t. CSS is pretty easy to work with, as is WordPress.
