Seth Macfarlane loses it.. Loses the microphone that is.



Seth Macfarlane messes up at the Emmy's 2012 but manages to pull it back by laughing at himself and doing a gag in a Stewie voice.

Half Life & Black Mesa Source

I've been reading through some of my favorite Geek-related journalism websites today.
My favourite of which is the brilliant RockPaperShotgun.

I've been reading upon the topic of Black Mesa Source, the brilliant user-created mod that recreates the original classic that was Half Life 1, which kickstarted the brilliant Half Life series, If you wish to look at the post, you may click here.

I have a slightly bias opinion when talking about the Half Life series, as I am sort of a self-admitted fanboy of everything Valve.
But who can blame me? They do make brilliant games; The Portal Series, The Half Life Series (with all its mod-tastic glory),
Counterstrike: Source and Team Fortress 2.

Unfortunately, I actually havent had change to try this new mod yet, I've actually been following its development for perhaps the past 2-3 years.
Reason being is that I dont really have a Internet connection, Im running off a Mobile Internet connection, and its not too good for downloading.

However, I just wanted to blog about the Original classic itself, and perhaps even its sequels. Half Life was and still remains a brilliant game, by that,
I mean the original, I remember playing it as a child, unfortunately, not on PC, however on the Playstation 2, when it first released, my uncle had purchased a copy and I find it strange how it still turns out I have been attached to the series since then.

I literally remember sitting there on my bed, staring at the tv, and then suddenly, HEADCRAB! and I was so confused, what was this little creature jumping towards me, and why was it so tempting to smash it up with a crowbar, and as that little spark hit my brain, I did smash it, I then continued to crowbar smash the headcrab's for another decade.

It was simply devised, but the story itself was complex, it could be a pick up and play through and then never touch it again if you dont read into the story, but if you do, its interesting, theres a hunger to play its sequel or its spin offs, like Opposing Force and Blue Shift.

I am not entirely sure how valid my opinion on anything Valve-related is, due to the clearly present fanboyism. However, for anyone who hasnt played these games yet, just spare a few hours in one of your days and go and play Half Life 1, thats of course, if graphics dont effect your enjoyment, the game is outdated graphically, you could always pick up a copy of Half Life 2 on Steam & then you could get 2 for 1, by downloading the Black Mesa Source mod for Half Life 2, so you get two games for the price of one in the way, as the Black Mesa Source storyline is a purpose replication of the Half Life 1 storyline!

I hope my rambling's kept you occupied.
For anyone that is a active steam user, i'd silently nudge you in the directly of this link.

Limbo - #2

Limbo - #1



Whats this series about? This is going to be me playing through the video game 'Limbo'. However, none of the episodes will contain commentary, this game is a strange one. Its completely up to you if you decide to like or hate this series. I just feel like uploading it, without commentary.
