I really like the style of the entire Earthling album by David Bowie. I’ve never been a large fan of him, but Earthling has a nice, electronic style that’s very enjoyable.
Discussing Christmas plans with Chris. I’ll spend Christmas with my family, and me and Chris are planning to have a “kitchen table gaming session” some time during the holidays. We basically put our ‘puters on the kitchen table and play games until we drop. Great fun. We haven’t done it for a long time, now that I’ve moved away from home and he’s studying elsewhere most of the time.
Natural Selection looks like a very cool mod for Half-Life. It’s not the first marines-vs-aliens mod, but it has lots of nifty features. The marines have a commander that stands at a terminal in the home base and can see everything from a top-down perspective and give orders and waypoints, and also build stuff and research new items.
The aliens, on the other hand, are more individual without a leader. Instead, they can sense enemies through walls and instantly know where the action is. They also build stuff, and evolve and gain new abilities when they build additional hives. Sounds like great fun. I’ll dust off my old Half-Life CD and give it a try some time soon.
Looks like I’ve finally managed to get somewhat proper sleeping habits — meaning I won’t go to bed later than two in the night. Hey, that’s pretty normal for me.
Since I’m easily amused, I found this image entertaining. Normal people wouldn’t understand.
