| The Hunted TF2 | Jul 11 2008 4:46pm |
| Whoops I kind of forgot to post about this here. I have just finished writing a server-side SourceMod plugin for TF2 that recreates The Hunted from TFC. For those of you who aren't awesome, The Hunted is a VIP escort game type where Blue must escort a lonely, wrench-wielding Engineer (well, in this version) through the map while Red tries to assassinate him and score points. There are class restrictions among other things, but I'll leave the gritty details to something I have already spent time writing. F7Lans.com is of course running this mod so you can feel free to play it whenever there are people on. I'd recommend no less than 8 players since it gets kind of tedious and boring with any less. I'm also working with a few friends on a remake of the classic Hunted map, as well as a "re-imagining" of border1, the Border Cross map that was another favorite! Watch for news about these in the coming weeks. UPDATE 7/15/08 I just released 1.1.0 of the mod which fixes some exploits and adds in a limit to the number of Pyros on RED. Check the AlliedModders link for full changelog info. | |

| What A Sweet Fucking LCD | May 22 2008 10:04pm |
| For those of you who don't know, I run dual monitors because it is fucking awesome. It also helps me get things done more easily when I am in the mood to work, but it is also super great for web surfing + chatting and doing other shit. So anyway, I had these 2 ancient CRT monitors, one was a 14" pile and the other is a 17" huge beast. The 14" one finally died and it wasn't a surprise, the text has been super fuzzy on it for months now and I was just counting the days until it went out. And it finally did. Holy shit why didn't I buy an LCD monitor sooner. I found a 22" widescreen on sale for pretty cheap and it is blowing my fucking mind. I can't wait until next pay period to buy a matching one. Time to throw a monitor off of the fire escape as they say. Back in the real world, I finally decided to package the AWOL Map Pack and make it available for download. After several months and about a page and a half of people begging for it on the 3D Realms forums, it's out in all of it's craptacular glory. There are 91 maps in total and each and every single one of them is unfinished and broken in more ways than I can count. But hey, you guys wanted it, so enjoy. It looks like the EDuke32 guys took my idea to heart and added in true Array support to the CON engine, thank fucking christ. As much as I love doing backflips to keep in spirit of Duke editing, the hackery that we managed to fake arrays with really sucked and I'm glad there is real support. I may or may not want to rewrite the A* Pathfinding algorithm I wrote for EDuke32 and finish up the DukeRTS tech demo. No promises though, but I would like to finish the A* to some degree. Oh yeah, F7Lans is having our annual Atlanta LAN Party, go there now if you are within a 200 mile radius of Atlanta! | |

| ThinkingWithPortals Joke | Apr 02 2008 1:14am |
| I am ashamed at how many people bought the ThinkingWithPortals joke today. The IRC chat has not been this alive in months! For a few hours person after person would join either confused or having a harty LOL. For those who missed it, here is the joke. Thanks for playing everyone! | |

| I have a confession | Mar 25 2008 9:15pm |
| After I shower, I turn off the water and go into a crouch, butt naked in the shower with no sound in the Terminator position (when he came to the past) and then I slowly rise up, with the Terminator theme playing in my head, until I'm standing firm and tall. This emotionally prepares me for the day. | |

| I have no idea what is going on | Mar 09 2008 3:55pm |
| I used to stand for something, but now I'm on my hands and knees. Trading my God for this one, who signs his name with a capital "G". Getting semi-excited about the presidential election this year. You know, there's not a lot of shit to report! ThinkingWithPortals has been consuming a huge amount of my time for no real explainable reason, and every time I look at the webstats for the domain I can't believe I managed to grab such an awesome domain name. Hopefully Valve won't pull out the Trademark Infringement card and shut me down! f0rkz won't stop bugging me to work on the F7Lans site, so I think I might start doing that sometime soon. We'll see, as he wants a Might Fuckload of stuff done that I'm not sure will be easy to integrate at all. Fucking Google Adsense decided to pull my account because of totally legit SEO tomfoolery. It's not my fault that their payment system is based on Page Views, and ThinkingWithPortal's SEO generates a few thousand unique "pages"! Oh well, I never saw the money so it's not like I'm missing out. I am using a new advertisement site that sucks a lot but atleast it's something! There is going to be another Stargate LARP event at the end of the month that I am going to geek the fuck out over. I may or may not post another photo, depends if there is one ridiculous enough. That's really it. There's nothing else going on. I need a break! | |
