Audio Scrobbler

Hey guys checkout Audio Scrobbler it makes up a page that says what music you listen to and shit. Just head on over to http://www.audioscrobbler.com/ and signup an account then download the plugin for whatever media player you use. It's pretty cool beacuse after you get the plugin all you gotta do is chuck in your user/pass then it disappears and you'll never see it again. Here is my page for anyone that is interested in what sort of music I listen to:

I use Winamp to play my music and i've got my playlist set on shuffle so it'll display whatever Winamp feels like making me listen to :)

Halo 2 > Half-Life 2

We all know that Half-Life 2 is going to win the Game Of The Year award. Why? I don't fucking know. Halo 2 is so much better than Half-Life 2. Lets see what points people push that Half-Life 2 is good.

*Involving Story -> Nothing could be further from the truth. While the game has an interesting story that makes you feel part of it it is lacking a lot in direction. There are very few moments in the game when you aren't by yourself.
*Next Generation Graphics -> Doom 3 is prettier :)
*Amazing Physics -> Half-Life 2 uses the havok engine for it's physics. You can get some of the code from the source leak. Tribes Vengeance uses the same physics engine and a lot of other games are using it now too.

Halo 2 is great beacuse you usually have team mates and you alternatve between playing as a covenant elite and a spartan.
It takes all the good things from the first game and makes them better.
It adds dual-weilding, they have completely re-done the enemy AI, you can hijack vehicles, it has XBOX Live 3.0 (Even though Rainbow Six 3 has better game choosing. On Halo 2 you need the party system to even play in the same game as your friend beacuse it just joins you to a random game. You can't even choose which game you want to play in!), heaps more secrets than the original Halo and the graphics are pushing the XBOX to it's limit. It looks very beautiful and colorful unlike the bland textures of Half-Life 2.

Halo 2 should win game of the year not this sad excuse for a game named Half-Life 2. I sppose i'm being pretty heavy on Half-Life 2 but I would've expected more from Valve in 5 years of development. After the leak in 2001 they haven't really done much to the game. It also uses the gay content delivery system named Steam. There are so many problems with this I can't be bothered listing them. Goto http://forum.damage-web.net/ and download Half-Life 2 from there. You can get CSS & the netplay hack too :) Do not support Steam!

I wonder if I could get away linking to a piracy forum on MSN Blogs probarbly not but here on Blogger I have full freedom of speech. They aren't censoring or editing my posts in any way at all :) They are excellent and if you need a blog head to http://www.blogger.com

Having a LAN, Comics, Gaming & Microsoft

Hey having a LAN this saturday with 6 people. Hope all goes well. Here is a dilbert comic I found that I thought i'd share:

Got TPG 1.5Mbps ADSL the other day. It is very fast but only has a 20gb download limit :(
For those of you who don't know my old connection was TPG 512Kbps Unlimited (no star! it was unlimited!)

I got Prince of Persia 2 Warrior Within downloaded this morning (well finished I started 2 nights ago) I haven't got around to playing it yet since I just got my XBOX Gamepad Drivers again so I can use that to play it on my PC.

Got Underground 2, Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity, Mace Griffin Bounty Hunter & Wolfenstein Tides of War for XBOX yesterday too. Underground 2 looks way better on my PC and it's hard to play it on XBOX after playing Burnout 3 so much. Burnout 3 is such an awesome game for XBOX you have to get it. HAVE to. It got rated 10/10 on some site(or magazine, I forget) that only gave Halo 2 an 8/10. Thats how good it is.

Was playing Halo 2 online earlier today with some US with a 250 ping(average) to everyone in the Arena (XLink Kai). Did not notice any lag at all while playing. Was Coagulation CTF with 12 players. Very smooth. They totally did the netcode right :) Got bored and left after playing Coagulation for 2 hours though. The host was at a University in Miami so I suppose he had a very phat pipe.

Just before I was playing CSS with Bucci & Dark---Lord I was owning so badly. I am so dangerous with the CV-47 now. Earlier today my CSS had the same error as clit's but after trying (and failing) to get "Steam Fuckered" to work (A new online play hack) I gave up and just copied some files off my other comp then deleted my .blob files. Worked a charm and I was up and gaming with Bucci.

Haven't posted in my blog for awhile I should do it more often but I'm getting lazy. I'll probarbly do a revival and chuck it in my MSN Name again like it was at the start. Gametec Lan 3 is almost upon us. I think Rbn should get a blog to help practice his typing skills and to give us the status of whatever project he is working on, would be interesting. (YOU HEAR ME RBN!?)

Going to softmod Simo's XBOX for $20 (Bucci says that Simo won't let me but I think he will as $20 is damn cheap) sometime.

I like writing blogs beacuse I just let my mind wander and write it all out. It helps my typing skills and lets me express myself. MSN Blogs are fucking stupid they censor most of the things that they don't let you have in your name (Administrator for example, fuck also) what the fuck is the point of having a blog if you can't write your mind. I am an Administrator and I fucking hate AWP'ers there we go I said it! On MSN that would bring up some kind of evil error saying You Are Breaking The Law Please Turn Around And Jump Out The Window

Some guy on MSN asked me for a CS 1.6 non-steam crack I told him I don't know anything about them. I just realised now that "Steam Fuckered" which I used to play Team Fortress with would work fine on 1.6 i'll have to tell him next time I see him online.

Haha what is it with Microsoft and redefining standards! HTML oh no it has to be HTM. MySQL oh no it has to be MsSQL omg we have been shipping solitare for 10 years and just realised it doesn't have multiplayer lets mangle it and make a multiplayer mode that slightly resembles the original game so nobody can understand it or hope to succeed at it. Speaking of which I Excel at Excel! I am so leet :)

I can't really think of what else to write except that Team America is a funny movie & I'm going to watch The Incredibles tomorrow and that i've downloaded the first 10 episodes of Full Metal Alchemist and watched the first 3 DVDs of Dragonball GT and I'm off school as of last monday :)

End Communication.
