Wow.

Seeing how LG went against Spacewhales in their match after clockwork left (but before clockwork joined Spacewhales), I'm having to revise my thoughts about how this will affect the team.

Bloodsire is a freakin' beast- hell, I think the team might be better off with Bloodsire than with clockwork. Wow.

Bloodsire is amazing and also sounds like a good person too. I'd recommend you watch his youtube videos from MGE, very interesting if you care even a little about snipers.
The problem with him is his availability. His job doesn't have set hours, and he can't get time off for LAN so he can only really be a substitute unfortunately. I'd love to see him back full-time, but it just can't be.

What would be awesome though, is the return of eMg ggygly. That won't happen either, but it'd be fun.

Edit: Bloodsire videos here and here.

*scoffs* Excuse me good sir, but what else would you put on a media system?

If you are implying that there is a Linux distro that is designed for HTPC's (big buttons would be nice) then I am all ears.

I actually have an NVidia 260 in my HTPC. It's better than one of my two gaming rigs.

Oh, and for anyone who's into comp TF2 or is looking to get into it, the best demoman in the game, b4nny, has recently started streaming. Streams tend to be kind of coarse, so, yeah.

I got a Bearded Bombardier (All of them have the smoke effect right?) which I want to trade. I opened a fall crate and got one of the ones I didn't want :p

Trixi yesterday traded me a strange BB along with a kill Demo part, and I have gotten 180 kills including 23 Demos I am happy to finally have a strange that I actually want to use :P

I just conducted a wonderful experiment in Deus Ex (I know 46 hours and I'm still not finished. I'm at the Chinese port.)

I wanted to know who would win in a fight. A turret or a giant robot.

The Results
Spoiler


The detail in this game has not failed to surprise me.

You can talk to the guy in the morgue who's holding the body of the guy from the first real mission a few times. Each time you speak with him, he becomes a little more aware of the fact that you may not be the person he's looking to give the body to.

I actually uploaded this event a few months back.

He might come back. Which would be awesome.
