Today I built my first P.C. After much sweat and a few bits of blood (why are some of the metal bits so sharp?) I have finished. Bit sad that the GPU doesn't come till next week but I'm pretty proud that I did it.

A) Logging into netbank to find that I've obviously had my application for Youth Allowance approved since I'd suddenly gained over $1000 in payments. I've been struggling a bit in the past few weeks since my hours at work have been dropping and the extra money means I'll be able to get by that bit easier.

B) Finding out the in-built dvd player in my tv is region-free. Means I can watch my Alien boxset and buy dvd from overseas without having to buy a new dvd player.

The design train of thought went something like this for The Library:

• Make a room
  
• Say, that's a pretty sweet room
  
• Make a duplicate of it and put it directly after that room
  
• Now do this until you have two hours of gameplay

The game already had a fair degree of copypasta before that, but The Library became an example of how not to make a FPS level. It's an exercise in pure masochism to willingly sit through that level.

Oh The Library.

If it wasn't for the sturdiness of the Xbox controller, there'd be many broken ones thanks to me. What a pain in the ass and annoying level :/


I don't mind the flood, but come on

It's probably been about 10 years since I played the first Halo so I don't really remember if I punched any windows out playing that level.

I actually enjoyed that level.

True story.

I didn't mind it either, but I was playing the game on PC.

I don't even remember that level, though I do have overwhelming memories of an insanely repetitive level that put me off the game completely, which I guess must have been earlier in the game. Good god what a steaming pile of mediocrity.

[FeralOni]

well not today, but $4 pints last night at Pugg Mahones made me smile (and then cry this morning when i realised how much i STILL managed to spend...)

Finding out I won a 64GB iPad 2!!!!

I thought that video was a leak demonstrating a major framerate issue with Anniversary (when playing through the Library with classic graphics).

Meh, the Library wasn't so bad. I guess they figured the player would be too overwhelmed by the flood to notice the repetitive design anyway (the golden triangle, bro!). I always thought the simple, repetitive textures were the worst part of Halo.

[Nietzsche]

Bah, I didn't notice the repetitive design to much as I was playing co-op.

[PixieGirl]

I played Halo and I stopped playing on that very level, it was a horrible level and I hated the flood. I also played a some of Halo 2, probably about half way through before just finding myself too bored to bother carrying on, I thought it was worse than Halo in fact and I thought both games were below-average. I will never understand why everyone loves the series so much.

As soon as the churn process is done, we are going to have unlimited ADSL 2+ (from 50 gigs a month at 8 mb/s), for $50 a month in Zone 2 (or the zone where internet is expensive :\)! Excited for it, being able to download anything whenever I want is going to be amazing

[Benza]

played em on x-box. I'm with Pixie. They're kind of crap.

Two Weapons has always seemed like a step backwards to me.

I played Halo on the XBox and hated it. Years later I decided to try and jump on the bandwagon again with Halo 3, only to discover that it was the most utterly average video game I've ever played.

Lucky people who can play and finish Halo . I will never be able to experience it being the worse game I ever play in my lifetime to be giving me extreme motion sickness and extreme headaches in the shortest amount of time (Mirror's Edge and Batman:AA requires 2 hours for a light motion sickness/headaches).

Speaking of headaches, I had quite an extreme headache just minutes ago. Luckily I had Panadol in my work drawer and it is vanishing. How can I cope with life without Paracetamol?

Edit - forgot to mention it only takes me 30 minutes of Halo 3 for extreme nausea and headaches
