    Mann vs. Machine

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: I'm Trying To Avoid Making A Team Fortress 2 Category
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, Mann Vs. Machine gets released sometime today. This looks very good, and should be fun. After all, it's probably the closest we'll get to an actual story mode or so in TF2. =P Well, that and we get to demolish tons of robots, which is always fun.
     
    The upgrade mechanics look pretty cool, too, though hopefully it's as fun in practice as it sounds. =D
     
    I foresee a rise of Scouts, however, simply because of things like instant respawn. =P
     
    Also, just as a slight reminder... If you don't already have me on your Friend List(I'm BZP Blade, just to remind people, since my current display name is so similar to others. =P), then I won't be able to add you as a friend myself, until I get Portal 2, which might take a while due to me having to get it physically for now, and that being an issue in itself. ;

    Alternative Titles: Now On Hard Mode!
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, I decided to play Ravenholm on hard mode. Not as bad as I thought, but still a bad idea, because of barrels.
     
    Death 1: Killed by accidentally picking up and firing lit explosive barrel. Zombies denied kill.
    Note 1: I just accidentally the game.
    Death 2: Killed by explosive barrel being lit and exploding near me. Zombie assist.
    Note 2: I accidentally the game again.
    Death 3: Killed by explosive barrel, trying to kill poison headcrabs
    Note 3: ... Is it just me, or do those barrels just not like me? Didn't break the game this time, though. =P
    Death 4: Yet another explosive barrel, by accidentally falling to the ground and attempting to launch the barrel.
    Note 4: Yes, another barrel death.
    Death 5: One more barrel death. Except this time, I was still on the ledge. Dunno how I died.
    Note 5: Have no clue how this happened. 0_o
     
    So, yeah, my new nemesis isn't the fast zombies, or the poison headcrabs... It's the explosive barrels. =P
  3. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: Because If I Delay This For Another Little While Then The Demo Will Be Over.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, continuing on. I accidentally failed, and fell to the ground, right in the midst of a moderator of headcrabs, zombies, and all that good stuff. With my saw blade up on the ledge I had fallen from.(I was trying to grab an explosive barrel, give me a break. >>')
     
    After 50 dodges form zombies later, I managed to finally kill them all, and two minutes later, since I'm blind and can't see a ladder on a wall(Hmm, that sounds oddly familiar...), I move on. Moving on, killing zombies with bricks and another trusty Saw blade...
     
    And then the Quick Zombie shows up. I see them jumping around. I ready myself, since I took a zombie to the face the last time I played. And yet again it startled me! ... Of course, since it's on the computer, and I'm playing with a mouse and keyboard, my reflexes kicked in, and it took a Saw Blade to the face because it saw me(Get it? Saw Blade? Saw, Blade? ... Okay, this is a tough crowd, I get it.), and died a painful death. Or painless, one or the other. I shot it with the blade again, just to make sure, of course. =P
     
    Now, the only odd thing about this, is that it's showing the 'download has paused' for the demo, yet I've been playing it all along, and checking the DL manager in Steam shows it's downloaded all of the data. 0_o weird glitch, it'll likely go away when I restart Steam.

    Alternative Titles: Well At Least I Know My Comp's Better Than Cholie's Old Computer.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, remember last year, when I was playing through Half-Life 2, and I put up those Ravenholm entries? They're baaaaaaack. Thanks to me trying out HL2's demo(So that I know what it's like on my computer, given I was playing it on the Xbox last time), I am now back in Ravenholm. The sawblades are just as awesome as I remember. The headcrab zombies scare me more than I remember. And there are mysterious flies I don't recall hearing. Must be the earphones. =P
     
    I may make this into a series like the Blenders, the Master Sword(Which I still need to photograph, now that it's brought up...), the Steam entries recently, and Minecraft. We'll see how well I handle Ravenholm. =P
     
    (Also, the tags fit perfectly. =D)

    Alternative Titles: Never Mess With My Sandvich
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, if the alternate title didn't give it away, I've been playing more TF2. Specifically as Heavy. I believe my current best game was as Heavy, too. =P Or at least, mostly as heavy, since it doesn't always switch.
     
    However, I amend my statement in the previous Steam blog entry. Pyro is my favourite attacking class; sure, it doesn't have the speed of Scout, but with the Pyro, you can burn stuff. =D I earned a good few things that way, including the ironic achievement of 'Camp Fire'. =P
     
    Also, just to mention it, if anyone wants to add me, I'm BZP Blade on there. I'm up for a few matches, if I'm not playing Portal or something. =)
     
    Speaking of Portal, I beat that a couple days ago, and am working on the Advanced levels now. =)
  6. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: I Have Now Upgrade! ... To the Demo!
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, to continue on, I gave up on Classic for now. It'll become fully useless anyway, if I ever get the full version, after all.
     
    However, that would leave me with nothing to play, you say? Not true! There is, in fact, now a demo that lasts for five days and nights!(However, sleeping automatically takes off up to ten minutes of play time, due to the way the counter works)
     
    I have made made it to the time limit twice now, and in the last completion, I also made it to bedrock in my makeshift base, along with making a skylight. =) Speedrunning? Me? Naaaah, it can't be.
     
    I ran into gold and Redstone on my way down, though, and I stupidly wasted all my iron on making a chestplate instead of a pick. ; I just made my base right in front of my spawn point, though; that way if I die like I did yesterday...(Note to self, and others: If you've dug down like 25 blocks, try not to jump right down into the mineshaft. You will die.) then you just respawn outside, and can just head back to get your stuff quickly. =)
     
    That said, does anyone know how to use a ladder properly? So that I don't go soaring through the air while trying to go down a ladder to the depths of my mineshaft? =/

    Alternate Titles: Five TF2 Matches Later...
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, Team Fortress 2 works! It was kinda laggy for me, but it downloaded perfectly, and nothing outside of things in-game blew up, so I'd say it worked well! Now, the question now, is whether to stop here for the moment and download Portal and try that out, or just keep getting better at TF2.
     
    Also, apparently I do better with the Engineer than anyone. I had like 10 kills with no deaths, thanks to my inventions. =P

    Alternative Titles: Category Time Again
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, some people may have been wondering why I haven't been on Steam, despite obviously having it, since I got it for Portal back in September. Well, I kinda forgot my password. Which is never fun.
     
    But, I have it back! =D I can now enjoy all the awesomeness that Steam has - to a point. My computer, while being better clocking in with two 3 GHz processors, 2 GB of RAM, and an outdated video card, is still held back... Specifically by the outdated video card. =P
     
    ... Also, my internet isn't the greatest. I've always known that. Well, I confirmed it today, started to download TF2 at around 8, 8:15-ish, and it's only completed 15% now. =/ It wasn't kidding when it said 5 hours...

    Minecraft

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Wait Let Me Finish - Not The Full Version... Yet.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So; yesterday, I finally gave in and tried Minecraft(Preemptive strike; I'm making a category now. =P)... Classic. My laptop can't run the full version according to the specs on the site; and I don't have a way of buying it just yet anyway. =P But, what little I got to play of Classic before the browser locked up on me was very fun. =) Managed to dig my way all the way to the ground, and after barely missing lava, deleted all that, and got back up, and began to make a case out of the green blocks. ... Granted, it then froze as I was trying to test the save/load things, but whatever. =P
     
    It is very fun, however; and I can definitely understand how it's got such a following. And this is with it on an old version, which in modern terms is effectively Creative Mode on Peaceful setting. =P Now that I'm on my desktop, though, I should try it again; it won't overload this time. ... Or, at least, if it does, then I have bigger problems. >>;

    Alternative Titles: Everyone Else Is Doing This
     
    -=Entry==-
     
    Step 1: Find a sword, LEGO or otherwise, though preferably LEGO.
    Step 2: Take it to the very centre of the building.
    Step 3: Say 'I SUMMON BLADE!' as loud as you can.
    Step 4: Pull off the hilt and handle of the sword, or just cover it if a real sword for some reason.
    Step 5: Look proudly at the Blade that you just made appear, while thinking regretfully that the member could not make it once again.
     
    ... What? I never said anything about spotting me. =P

    Wii Wi-Fi

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Ten Hours Later...
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Tag and category says it all. =P Wii's wi-fi is working again, and with that, comes online matches on GoldenEye again. How I missed it. =P
     
    Also, I got Pokemon Battle Revolution the other day, and beat it's single player mode in about two or three days, more or less. I still need to perfect it better, but I have a lot finished. =) Been thinking of trying the online, but I don't have a competitive team, so I'd likely have the floor wiped with my team. =|
     
    Brawl seems to be glitching for me, though; randomly freezing at times. =/ I'll try to get it working, but it might take a little while.

    Hello

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: What Point? There's No Point Here.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, yeah, 1 in the morning, and I'm still on here. Random late night blogging for the win? Let's see how long I ca- hzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
     
    Ahem. So, yeah. Got a few more good matches before I just decided to listen to music, but I'm just going to get off. Lost more matches than I won, anyway. xD
  13. Blessed Blade
    No Alternative Titles
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Can't type up the entry and that quick enough.
     
    Awesome match; I made someone DC. =P Basically, I used my annoyance inducing Swampert to scout the team, take out his Dragonite, and then toy with him after that. After my Outrage crushed him, he DCed. =P
     
    Lemme explain further.
     
    I sent out my Swampert as lead; set up Stealth Rock and roared him away as he kept hitting me for miniscule damage. He first had his Milotic dragged out, then his Blitzle, which is exactly what I wanted to see, after having noticed it in Team Preview. He switched, but my EQuake still did damage to his Vigoroth, which once again thought it could take me with Strength. I roar again, and groan as the Milotic's dragged out. It wipes me out rather quickly.
     
    So, I send in my Gallade. Toxic and Protect alternations allow me to predict what he'll do(Yay, predictions that are actually right! =D), though I kinda wish I had've pulled off two Bulk Ups before my Close Combat, since he succeeded with Protect twice. I outsped him when he tried to attack, one down.
     
    Blitzle's back out, I go to Close Combat it, the Blitzle faints me since I was getting low on health. That's fine, I send out Garchomp, one EQuake faints it. He sends out his already damaged Vigoroth, I choose 'Outrage', it may have gotten to the animation, 'Communication Error'.
     
    The only real regret I have is that I couldn't save the video of it. =P It was hilarious. xD

    Alternative Titles: Agh Why Won't You Stop?
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, I have an odd problem... So, I have an external hard drive, been using it to store stuff in archives, so I can transfer between computers.
     
    Well... Uh... It won't stop the hard drive so I can remove it. And I don't want to unplug it from the computer until it's safely ejected, otherwise, things might go horribly wrong. But it won't let me; it keeps claiming something's using it, but the other possible thing that could use it, was already turned to a copy of the file which is actually on the desktop, so nothing is using it; at all!
     
    The only thing I could do, seemingly, is just shut the computer down, and then unplug the hard drive from the computer afterward, but that isn't something that is really best, since I want to be able to just stop and remove it, without having to halt browsing just because something decided to keep the External Drive in use...
     
    Also; a question to readers; is there anything in the blog theme or entry layout you'd want to see updated? I know my content blogs need changing, but I'll work on that when that's possible, for sure.

    So, New Skin

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Three Entries In A Day - It's More Likely Than You'd Think
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    So, this new skin looks pretty cool! =D I've noticed possibly a couple odd spots where I don't recall colours before, however, that is likely just my imagination, and something I'll need to get used to, since I never really paid attention to those spots before, and the new colours just made me look there. =P
     
    But overall, it's a very good job; the new quote blocks look very cool, I must say. And the new icons are going to take a little while to get used to, after the other icons, but it's like all changes. =)
     
    I like the skin, though, reminds me of the old site very much, and in a good way. Very nice, guys! =D

    Firefox 14

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Yet Another Category Added.
     
    So, I've had Firefox 14 for a wile now. Still wrapping my head around why they updated the GUI again, but it doesn't really matter, since it's mostly what I do anyway, what with splitting the back/forward buttons, keeping Refresh and stop separate(Which is likely because I split them myself. =P), and other such things.
     
    However... There's one odd thing I've noticed... There's a globe symbol next to the address bar, where the Favicon used to be located(Which are always on the tabs as well, so it's no real big deal)... However, it never seems to change, for me. 0_o
     
    Does anyone happen to know what it's for?

    New Name

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: But No New Blog Theme Yet.
     
    -=Entry=-
     
    Pretty much what the titles say. Testing out a new way of separating the Alt Titles from the actual entry, since breaking spaces don't exist on the dashboard.
     
    So, yeah, now I'm Roxas from Kingdom Hearts, in commemoration of KH3D's release next week. =D Also because Roxas is a cool name and all. =P
     
    Though, a lot of things have changed in the past four, almost five years, now... If you had asked me back in '07, I probably would have looked at you oddly, if you suggested I'd be playing a Kingdom Hearts game, or listening to Rock and Metal. That line of thinking was thrown out the window a while ago. =P

    Alternative Titles: You Can Even Inquire About These!
     
    So; I didn't really get many questions the last time. I was kinda boring. However; let's try this again!
     
    Ask me anything you wish; though some personal things I might not answer.
     
    Also, I think I can predict that the first comment will be Sumiki, asking if I dream of farm animals. =P
  19. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: Oh No - He's Addicted To Blender Again.
     
    Decided to install Blender, see if it works on my laptop.
     
    It does. >=D Therefore, despite me now having my uber powerful computer(... Compared to this laptop, at least; 2 gig RAM and such isn't truly 'uber powerful', no matter how much faster it is than my old computer. =P), I can still work on creating 3D Models! =D
     
    And yes, I'm using it without a mouse. Scrolling isn't as easy(Since it only updates the view AFTER you remove your finger from the scrollpad), and moving the view might get annoying since Shift is a ways away from the click buttons; but to rotate the view around the model, it's easier than you think. Since it has the dual click 'middle mouse button' set up. =)
     
    Now, I need to think of what to make next... Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

    Ow

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Well At Least My Arms Aren't Too Sore.
     
    Apparently walking over 12,000 steps two days in a row, while also attempting to train your arms isn't a good idea; you really can't do it a third day. Mainly because walking is painful that third day. >>'
     
    On the bright side, over the past two days, with the watts built up over the past few months, I unlocked two more Pokewalker courses, and got some more puzzle pieces for the Puzzle Swap app. Which they just added another new puzzle for. D=
     
    *Predicts that this will get pushed off the first page in two seconds*

    Blogs

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: Hey I'm Still Writing The Alt Titles!
     
    Really, it surprises me that it's still happening. =P
     
    Anyway; so, we have blogs now! ... Oh, that's right, I already have a blog, I just rarely use it. I really need to fix that. =P
     
    In other news, lack of sleep, plus exercise, plus a baby to help babysit, means that I'm rather tired right now. =/

    New Laptop

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Title: Or Should I Say My Own Laptop.
     
    So, got a laptop of my own last week. =D FInished setting it up Friday night, been using it to browse stuff since then.
     
    It's rather convenient, even if it needs to be plugged in all the time. =) Looks like it can run Blender too, but there's still the whole 'I have no mouse for it' problem. Unless I can mimic the functions, but I don't know if I want to try. =P
     
    Dang enter; it submitted the post on me. xD
     
    I've also been writing a Pokemon-related story, however, I might hold off on posting it; at least until I get further in. =)
  23. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: No - There's No Three - Don't Ask.
     
    That's all one title, I separate alternate titles with commas. =P
     
    So; dual entry!
     
    First of all, remember the master Sword I was creating? Well, I more or less finished it! The only problem is; I don't know how to texture it that well(Especially with the Gnu Image Manipulation Program deciding to not handle PNGs anymore.), nor do I know how to take pictures of stuff that's been created. >>' That's really the only reason I haven't put up even an untextured version of the model yet. =/
     
    Second... Well... This week hasn't been that great. Something happened a few days ago; which is the reason I was offline for the past two days, as otherwise I likely would've been annoyed for seemingly no reason.(Along with the fact that my computer wasn't plugged in until today. =P)
     
    Though, yesterday was also due to my tooth starting to hurt a little, because of it seemingly finally appearing, after being blocked by my wisdom teeth until last year. However... All I could think at first was, 'What's with my teeth and the summer!?', because it was a year last month that I had my wisdom teeth out. =P
  24. Blessed Blade
    Alternative Titles: Now What Would This Be Called... The Unconnected Master Sword?
     
    So; finished the second piece of the Master Sword last night; now I have the handle and the blade done(Though I notice the blade still needs some more work. Ah well, can't get everything perfect until it's all finished anyway. =P); still no textures, though to make the parts look better, I put some materials on the objects; purple colouring for the handle and hilt, and a silver....ish... colouring for the blade, with a little mirroring for the moment, so it looks like it's made of metal.
     
    Of course, since I'm only working on the hilt now(This oughta be fun...), I only have a handle and blade, both of which are unconnected, though it's really beginning to resemble the Master Sword. But, since it doesn't have the pattern on the blade yet, I'm half tempted to make two hilts; one unpowered, and one true form. =P
     
    Also, I asked the question on my status update yesterday, but for the engraving on the blade, and the gem; are they visible from both sides of the sword, or just one side? It's important to when I go to texture everything. =/(Have no real clue how I'll get the engraving on the blade aside from cheating and making a separate object for that. =P Gem should be easy, though it'd be a similar situation.)

    Master Sword

    By Blessed Blade,

    Alternative Titles: This One Wasn't Forged By The Goddesses - That's Okay Right?
     
    So, yesterday's Blender project... Creating the Master Sword. Yes, I just said creating the Master Sword. The Sword of Evil's Bane.
     
    It's an ambitious project, I'll admit; I spent a good few hours last night on it(Between researching, and actually pulling it off, I pretty much spent the entire day on it, but more prominently since about 6 or 7 last night, for 3 or 4 hours after that), and I haven't even gotten to the handle or hilt yet...
     
    But, since I pretty much completed everything I needed for the blade except reassessing the scale and other stuff, that'll be today. =P
     
    I'm using the Skyward Sword version as a base, since it's more detailed, though OoT3D's version of the Master Sword was my initial guide, if only because that's the only 3D model of it I have on-hand...
     
    Making the hilt should be fun, though. =P
