How’d you classify a website?

This is coming from a geek (ie. me). A little something I found; quite useful and accurate to classify the websites you come across. Not applicable for porn.

Try classifying your blog :)

Halo & Video Games

Posted by HELiX

Seems like I finally managed to play Halo 2 Vista after all.

Master Chief. He’s hard. Interpret this however you want.

This probably won’t help any of you but guess what? ATI Tray Tools was causing the crashing problems, and I simply got another overclocking software and I was good to go.

Now I’m 4/5 way through; I’ll finish it up tomorrow.

This game is so old, if I continue to talk about it, I won’t be surprised if my next game is O2 Jam.

Oops.

This mundane rubbish uninteresting content I’ve mentioned above, fortunately, isn’t what this blog entry will be about.

…

So, like, as you read, I AM playing Halo 2 Vista. Like whoa.

And I realised something. Yes it’s freaking HALO, played but millions of gamers across the planet, but I’ll risk being called a wuss and admit that the freaking aliens scare me. A little. Somewhat. A tiny bit…

REALLY!

Y-you see, so-so I-I t-raced the so-ource of the prob-blem.

IT’S BLOODY DOOM 3!

Many years ago, secondary 1 or 2 I believe, I was playing Doom 3. I’ll tell you right now that that’s the most INNOCENT looking game with KILLER DEMONS and SCARY BEASTS and TERRIFYING MONSTERS.

Told’cha. I ain’t lying!

Every corner I turned to, there’s a freaking alien bulldog running straight at you at 94769 miles per hour, and every damn room you enter doesn’t have bright lights (I had to abuse in-game gamma), and th-that creepy moaning is still in my head after so many years!

Don’t believe me? Listen to this, extracted straight from the game. 8 times. Then go listen to some shitty metal music. And listen another 4 times. You’ll end up like me.

Right. So Doom 3 scared the shit outta me.

Apparently the monsters were… demons. But I always remembered them as… aliens. So from then, every alien game scares the shit outta me. Yes, that includes Quake 4, Half Life 2, Half Life 2: Lost Coast, Half Life 2: Episode One…

And now, even the most innocent of Halo scares me.

Okay I’m exaggerating how bad it is, but still, I get that uncomfortable feeling whenever I hafta shoot aliens. And when I see robot/human enemies once again, I sigh in relief regardless whether they’re harder to kill or not.

And I can’t believe Halo 2 has me as Arbiter working besides alien teammates. I killed all of them. Every one them.

And even more disturbing is the retarded AI. Why do my ELITE MARINES drive my TRUCK into a ROCK and refuse to release the acceleration? Many times I had to throw the driver out of his seat.

…

I have another secret to confess today.

I’m in love.

I’m gay. Like, you know, happy.

I didn’t bathe and smell like my dog. Wait, I don’t have a dog.

I think your mom looks hotter than you.

I haven’t gamed since… around… term exams? Or MAYBE even before that.

I’ve been occupied by other stuffs. Yeah, you know, stuffs.

But with the holidays here, I’m back!

Right, on the agenda. To be completed by… say… 14th November?

1. Halo 2 (Stupid alien game)
2. Bioshock (Another alien game!)
3. Portal

Optional, if I’m not sick of the repetitive HL2 series:

1. Half Life 2: Episode 2 (what else? And yet another alien game)

And get my competitive gaming skills back in:

1. Unreal Tournament 3 (alien game, but…)
2. Team Fortress 2
3. Maybe… just maybe… Quake Wars? (ALIEN GAME. AGAIN.)

O2 Jam didn’t make the list :(

…

Cheers! Halo-ween’s over :(

Enjoy your holidays!
