Well, today was a busy day. At work we started installing a third server. We got the racks built for it, and we installed it's back up power source, a battery that can run the server for 30min. The thing weighed a ton!!!! Other than that it was good.....
After work some friends and I hung out at the mall. We had chinesse food, and I picked up Half Life 2. I haven't had a chance to install it yet, but maybe, just maybe, it'll get one of my (on-line) friends to quit bothering me about it. I own it, I'll install it, I'll play it, I'll go back to civ. The last time I played a shooter was about a month ago. It was Halo2, and I'd probally still be playing it if one of my friends didn't lock out my xbox live account. Of course, he did, so.... IT's not that I don't enjoy shooters, I do, it's jsut that I perfer building a civilization, building a complex infostructure, and all in all nurturing a thriving empire. Don't ask me to go to war, but if you need some one to increase income by about 50 a turn.... that's what I like doing in games. I like advancing that kind of stuff, and I like competiton in those types of strategy games. That's why I'm not a big fan of Roller Coaster Tycoon. The game gets boring after a while, it gets repetitive when you don't have the occasional outside source to spice things up. FPS's, though, are too competitive. You get into a group of players, and all they'll want to do is kill. I enjoy playing these type of games, espically after a long day of school or work, but I enjoy doing more than ruthless killing (I was going to say mindless, but I know it's not that.) But I'm going to give Half Life 2 a chance.
After I got half life two, I dropped a letter over at my friend's parent's house. He'll be graduating from boot camp on the 15th, and I won't be able to attend because of my new job. His parents are going, so I gave them a letter to give to him. It's only 2 pages long. I wish I could have found more to write about. You'd think that after 3 months of being away, I could write at least 7 pages, but no, 2's my limit. I miss him. A lot. He's my best friend. I can think of only one other person who I'd rather spend time with, but she and I aren't as close as him and I (sorry, but we're not. We're close, just one notch away, but...). I really wish I could have went. I do. I miss him. But I'll be able to go see him in mid August, when he gets restationed in Washington DC. That'll be good, right? He'll want to see me, right? I'll be able to make the drive from tampa to DC in one day, so I should only have to take a Friday and Monday off. Anyway, I'm going to install Half Life, have a good night everyone!

Ah, so you actually bought it, huh? Bothering to give the number one PC game a chance, that's good. That's real good. That's a good thing you did. Hopefully you've seen that it's not a mindless shooter, and with your horror leanings, if you don't at least like Ravenholm, I don't know what to do with you. By the way, Civilization doesn't use actual monetary values by now? Kind of silly.
CIV will be sent to the cornfield if you cannot be invaded by aliens and have more future advancements.
OK, that's it. Time to flame you. FLAME!!! FLAME!!! FLAMEYNESS!!!!!!!!! Halflife two as the number one pc game is an opinion.
