ShadowReality

New trailer just out, I’m looking forward to this with great expectation. Having grown up with the Indiana Jones films, you just know that it’s not going to disappoint, unlike some modern day versions (*cough* National Treasure *cough*).

I think it’s going to leave me with that warm fuzzy feeling of nostalgia and awesomeness, much like Die Hard 4 gave us last year. Personally I’m all for these late film sequels, I guess it’s because you know what your in for, and you know it’s good.

It kinda sucks for me this weekend because I cant use my computer. A few days ago, our area had a big snowday. Because of that, I guess my water pumping things got overloaded with so much water and it just spilled all tnrough my basement and that is where my computer is kept. Today, we had an insurance agent come by and look at the mess and as fast as u could say: hytnbcduihvstuh, workers had ripped off my carpet and had plugged in huge fans to dry it all. Because of a potential power shortage and a beating from my mother, I am forced to stay away from my computer. And so I bring you this message coutesy of my Wii, over a stolen wireless internet from my neighbors an i am just waiting for monday when this will be all over. Until then, cya

I got a damn Virus on my PC today, well more of a Worm than a real virus, but annoying none the less. Mainly because I am still on a spare PC and my virus protection hadn’t updated from when my motherboard failed on my main computer. I really am not having much luck at the moment, as this is the least of my PC worries, it seems my spare PC likes to Power off all on its own, without warning.. maybe it’s a dodgy driver, as it’s a spare PC i might need to update them more, but that in itself it a laborious task.

So basically what this meant was me getting a virus, thinking ah shit i better scan my computer, the scan getting half way through and BING my comp shuts off… so I cant even get a complete scan done. Anyway, after much hassle and poking I sorted the virusy worm out, apologised to all whom it tried to spread to from me, and then propmtly vowed to get my new computer as soon as humanly possible.

Anyway, last week I had been playing a load of Burnout Paradise and competing in NoobToobs IGC (Iron Gamer Challenge), I almost won, but was beaten by Jam Enslaver, one of the mods over at noobtoob, by a mere 15 points. It’s a great game, and I recommend it to all who enjoy Burnout. But for now I am back tuning up my Call of Duty 4 skills, oh and point whoring with a bit of King Kong (oh the shame).

Remember, when I told you about Black Mesa Source and how it’s going to re-define the whole half life experience. Well here’s another one. It’s called Operation Black Mesa

This game is really following in BMS’s footsteps as it is recreating the experience of Half Life: Opposing force as you once again play in the shoes of Adrian Shephard. The game has been totally revamped with the Source engine and by the looks of the renders and models, it looks to be a pretty good game. But this game is way behind in development compared to black mesa source. The developers have barely gotten done the renders and they have 1-2 concept drawings. Don’t expect this mod to come soon. But to be assuring, this mod is probably gonna be the best mods I have ever played. I say that on the fact that the original Opposing Force was one of the best add-ons to half life ever. (Blue Shift didn’t catch my attention)

This mod looks promising and the mod will bring both the singleplayer and multiplayer portion of the original game. Hopefully I can bring you some more info in the months to come.
