i wake up and dada for a while and figure that i should be returning this cd that i bought for roxanne which she also bought to best buy. I'm about to head out and theres a package on the ground what could it be?
I got my Half-Life 2!! Woohoo!
i guess i'm not going to return the cd.. instead, i installed but never got to play the game, since my brother needed the portable compressor/jumper thing. And Fluffielady was out of school and we were to meet at hillsdale for lunch and shopping (what else). Well we did get a bunch of gift cards.. i do have to say though, it's my 2nd time shopping at a Mervins.. 1st time was in bakersfield, more than half a year ago (or more?). Well we got the gift card and at least they sold kitchen stuff.. We got some baking pans, photo albums, candles(ugh!). I should keep a count of how many is in the house.. i know we have 3 wedding day scented candles, the large ones. oi!
the game is pretty good.. nice rendering, excellent use of light and texture, super physics and items have 'stuff'.. things like weight, if it could be pierced by bullets. Wood shatters like how it does, and the timbers float like how timber-in-water is supposed to. The only thing i don't like is its sorta hard drive intensive (4.5gb!, 5cd's, loads forever, i'm running a athlon xp 3000+ with corsair 256mb CL2.0 ddr333.. maybe i need 512, oi another CL2.0 how much is that?! 65$!!, 115 for 512, hmmz.. ), and it's new validation system. Yea they want to make sure you bought the puppy and it's not a fake (sorry sherwin). But it takes forever to 'validate'. Also i now have this dada startup icon that's semi-icq, semi-game chooser.. You can link friends who also have Half Life2 and it's supposed to tell you when your friends are online, so that you could play CS together.
CS on the other hand is pretty good, a bit faster a bit smoother, but same ol game play. Now i need to find another binding tool so that i just press one key and all my item purchases are done.
i think i'm going to be stuck in the room playing for a bit.. uh oh! bad bad video games..
