Tomorrow is the Day

I have my Valedictory Service tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will have nothing more to do with Montego Bay Community College.

Heck yeah!

Oh no, wait, they're having the ACTUAL graduation ceremony in November, but if things work out the way I plan, I doubt I'll be going.

A little bit more than two weeks after the ceremony, I'll be having my birthday. How old will I be? I'm not telling you. But, I blogged on my last birthday too, giving my age back then, so if you dig around the blog for it, you just might find it. ^_^

I finished Fallout 3 yesterday morning as a good guy. My Karma rating was pretty high. Like most games where you get to choose good or evil, I intend to play it again, as a bad guy. Fallout 3 has some epic music too. This is one of my favourite songs from the game. It's called Butcher Pete, by Roy Brown.



For those of you that have been following the news for the past two months or so, you should know about the giant oil spill caused by BP in the Gulf of Mexico. This video manages to capture my sentiments of how they're handling the situation perfectly. I found it funny, although not hilariously so. (It was one of Youtube's promoted videos.)



Now that I'm done with Fallout 3 and Jade Empire, I think I'll try to fight my way through playing Mass Effect with my crappy PC. I may also write some code for...something. I don't know yet. We'll see. Here's something I wrote two days ago. It's a simple walk demo for a 2D RPG. Maybe I'll make a full game out of it. I just need a plot...

I made the character using the Charas-EX character generator. The walk demo application itself was written in C++, using SDL. Play no attention to the unfortunate fact I called it FailOSaga.



TTFN,
Lord Robinson.

Farewell Bernie!

Bernie Mac is dead. If this post seems less funny than normal, its because of two things. The death of a comedian always sorta puts my sense of humour off track, and as much as he's a comedian, I don't think it would be appropriate to crack jokes in this post.



I'd do a eulogy, but Wikipedia has everything you need to know about this great black man. I mean, he just died, damn. Obama probably isn't feeling too good right now for reprimanding him for his joke the other day at a fundraiser of his.

Oh yeah, big apology to Shanice G. Sorry I couldn't make it to your Sweet 16. I'll make it up to you, sometime, hold me to it huh?

Interesting huh? A birthday, and a death.

I really don't have anything else to talk about, I'm brainblocked.

Thats It For Now,
Gavin.

Friends, Power, Sex and Halo

After reading that title, you're probably thinking, what the hell ?! Well, I needed a catchy title,so I decided to used it to appeal to all the bleeding hearts, megalomaniacs, nymphomaniacs and halophiles. Lets start in order of importance. That means Halo. I'm getting Halo 3, I'm getting Halo 3, la-la-la-la-la-la-la. Seriously. Also, a friend of mine is getting better in Halo. He actually almost beat me when we were playing with guns. I beat him, 25-14 when we were playing with swords alone though.

For the hell of it, I'll just skip sex. "But wait," you say,"skip sex?!!! Is this guy retarded?" No seriously, there are more pressing issues. Earlier, I used the word megalomaniac. That means a pathological egotist.

In English now. That means a power hungry nutjob. Have you ever thought about strategy games nowadays? Basically, in my opinion, they're helping to raise armchair generals, who believe that soldiers are expendable. Think about it. This is more pronounced in futuristic RTS games (think Starcraft, how many Terran marines did we waste?).
Before anybody decides to email me, I should just say I'm not knocking RTS games. I'm an avid RTS gamer. In fact FPS, RTS and RPG games are my favourite genres. I'm just saying that RTS games nowadays seem to encourage throwing out hordes of units to kill your enemies, rather than carefully using a small group of units to destabilize your enemy.Ranting done. Proceed, soldier... the Rear Admiral waits.

While we're on the topic of Warcraft by the way, look at this. Its a video of Warcraft 3 being played on a touch screen.



This was developed by Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, whose website can be found here(click me bitch!).

Okay, now how do friends come in?

Well, for this post, I decided to focus on one friend, whose birthday is tomorrow, the 20th of December. Sadly, she's sick. I hope she recovers by tomorrow. She's really a nice person, once you get past the quirkiness and the annoyingness and the randomness and the ... . Anyway, I'm just kidding. She's a good friend. She really easygoing and has what I call natural crack, she's always energetic.

So Cammy, I'll let the image do the speaking since a picture is worth a thousand words.



Ummm, oops lol. Just kidding. You know science could never replace you

Here ya go sport:



Love ya(like a sis)!


Tata for now people!!!
