I'll Spit on It.
Hey guys this is going to be a two post day I think. Lot of news coming down the pipe and a hand full of interesting things going on with me. As usual we'll start with me. and once again since I'm at work and trying to do a bette r job here I'm going to try and keep my links under control. Last night went out with erica for some ice cream. Hung out...talked. It was really nice to get out and talk with her. I haven't been able to do anything like that in a long time and I really have every intention of doing it again. When LIFE allows that is :(
Nothing new with the car. Still haven't made it to the police station. Did I meantion that I actually have to go to the police station to file a report of hit and run? yeah...talk about pain in the ass. And since it was technically in dallas I have to go to a DALLAS department. crap.
After getting home from hanging out with erica I had a little alone time with moen. The idea was to use our teamspeak server to talk to eachother and play some games. Well...we ran into a little glitch of sorts. It would seem that windows automatically sets itself up by default to record EVERYTHING that comes through the speakers. This caused a problem. Not only did it cause a problem of hearing myself talk in full voice a full 2 seconds later it also caused me to hear everything that was coming through moen's speakers. The only reason that I knew what to do was because I checked the FAQ and was remembered that XP does that by default and you have to actually find the correct control panel and change it manually. Joy. Well...an hour and a half later plus a newly awoken kelley (sorry again) I remembered where the control panel was and problem solved. Man...that was a pain in the ass.
But I did pre-Purchase HL2 and I did download my Counter-Strike: source so all is right in the world. I went with the silver package. Courious about any of this? check the link. I should be giving it it's first run through this weekend. So if any of you are interested in playing ANY computer game with full voice support plus me and moen, download the Client of Teamspeak, and get in contact with me. I'm running a server and I need to register you before you can participate. But it IS up and running perfectly and all it needs now are people. :) please join us :)
More later I'm sure. Very full day and it's not even 9 am yet. Here are your bullets.
Music in my car as we speak: Reggie and The Full Effect - Promotional Copy

- There is now a Prince of Persia: Warrior Within demo over at 3dgamers. If you liked the origional I'm under the impression that you're going to like the new one. Go over there are get it!
- Child's Play started today. You MIGHT not have heard about this last year. Basically it's a gamer's charity that was absolutely out of control last year earning over $250,000 in gaming murchandise and toys for Children's hospital of seattle. You have GOT to go over there and donate something. There are things to purchase that range from a cheap coloring book to a whole console gaming package. New this year? They just aren't donating stuff to one place...we're talking 5 different hospitals can recieve your donation. Donate to one closest to you, or all of them, or just donate money. It's for a good cause, AND it's brought to you by the Penny-Arcade guys. What are you waiting for? Get over there, be a human being, and donate!
- preload 6 for Half-Life 2 started last night. If you have steam and you are signed up for preload just turn on your steam and start getting it!
- HL2 has a new magazine review that just went to print. Gives HL2 a 9/10 making the new average 95.4%. Check the list of reviews for more.
- If you have an ATI video card there is a new driver available for download over at ATI's website. Version 4.10.
- and some late news. Halo 2 for the Xbox went gold earlier this week. Sorry for the delay in bringing you that one.
