APB online

I don't know if you guys have seen the coverage for APB. It's kind of like Grand Theft Auto, but an instanced mmo. There is a trailer on their homepage that shows in-game footage.

Not sure when it is coming out, but it looks like it could be fun.

L4D2 first impressions

So I've played through two campaigns, did a little with the "scavenger" mode and, this morning, messed around a little bit with the "realism" mode.

First, I was never that impressed with L4D and I ended up just getting fucking sick of it. I appreciate the attempts that they made to spice it up, but honestly I just don't think it's for me.

It seems that L4D2 is the result of Valve just dumping all the spices into the pot. This, on the surface, definitely works for me. The added weapons are a nice addition. I'm not sure how I feel about the new special infected, because I haven't messed around with versus mode yet. The levels...I don't know. The levels don't really impress me that much, but I do like how they've made it more than just "run to the end" by giving you little jobs to do. The graphics seem to be kicked up a tad. So far "realism" mode is my favorite new aspect.

Do I like it more than L4D? Yea, and I don't know if I'll ever pick that back up. But in the end, I still just feel like it's all window-dressing. I'm not blown away and I'm not even really that impressed. It's still the same premise that I didn't really care about in the first L4D. Still killing unending hordes that keep me from walking when they hit me from behind. Really. How does that even make sense? If you are punching me in the back and I start running forward, I'm going to get away from you.

I don't know. Maybe it'll grow on me.

fun with google search

You know how the Google search will try and guess what you are searching for? I decided to try some things. I used red to express my confusing on these images.

Shane "Sunnyvaletrash" Morris obviously hasn't found the answer.
This is kind of sad/funny.

Google guessed correctly. Also...what?

fahn patrick has been burning up the internet for the answer.


Why are people so interested in putting objects in rice?

I don't know.

Why do I keep doing this?




This.


I keep doing it.



Why?

Birds That Are Sad.

I was feeling depressed the other day and I asked my friend if she thought birds were ever sad, and she said no and I started crying because I wished I could be a bird.

TF2 hat

Apparently, if you've pre-ordered L4D2, then you can get Bill's beret as a TF2 hat. I got it tonight. I tried to take a screen-shot, but Windows 7 isn't letting me. It's just pasting a black screen. Anyways, since you've probably pre-ordered it...get in TF2 and get your hat.

It still doesn't count. I don't want a pity hat. I want a real hat.
