SITE METER

so it has been about two months since i last wrote something worth reading. that is, unless some of you were able to decifer my "nervous breakdown...." just kidding. it was real.

about three days ago i looked at my site meter and realized that people have stopped checking my blog as regularly. so i decided to do an experiment: wait to write and see how long it will take for people to stop looking all together. as you can see im a horrible scientist.

so i guess i should prolly say what ive been up to. back in august i took that other job i mentioned. i also kept the other two i already had. for about 4-5 weeks i was working about 70 hours a week. (hence the "nervous breakdown") but i have since quit best buy even though the schedual says otherwise. i suppose i should go and officially quit, but the longer i postpone it the longer i get to use my employee discount...

as for my other jobs, they are going well. i have no days off though, which kinda sucks. but at least i like my jobs. and i get paid holidays and sick days and such.

so, now that i work a reasonable 45 hours a week, what do i do with my free time? well, halo 3 came out. that was pretty cool. but i have since moved on to even more destructive cartoon violence. two things have occupied my time: a cartoon i made and "the orange box."

first, the less mysterious cartoon. i made all the pictures in photoshop and recorded the music and so on in about 10 hours. originally i did them separately without considering putting them together, but the cartoon needed some sound so i just threw the song in for fun. enjoy.



so, what's in the orange box? it is a compilation of games including my personal favorite first person shooter: half life 2. but it also has two very cool bonus games which i think even non-gamers will at least find interesting. the first is greatest puzzle game since myst. the most interesting part about this puzzle game is that it is in the style of a first person shooter.

just remember, the cake is a lie.



the other game is team fortress two. the simplest way to describe this game is to say it is a cross between halo and the incredibles. this is cartoon violence at it's best. (seriously, this is the funnest multiplayer game i've played in years.)



ok, let the experiment begin.


IMPORTANT UPDATE

i dont normally update entries post facto (as opposed to updating entries pre facto) but in light of what i wrote up there ^ i have no choice but to post this. btw: he swears.



ok, back to the experiment.

okay, so does it prove that I really have no life that 5 hours after you posted that I already read the site and became jealous that you are playing with portals?
