Here I am, sit on the sofa in the middle of the night alone at my parents’. MTV is running on telly in front of me and I have my macbook on my lap. I think I’m in the worst part of the cycle that I started when I finished my studies. I’m more than lost. Everything can happen, nothing: included and most probable. I can barely handle that. I just hate it. Why is it suppose to be such an hassle. I discussed with Suv earlier this evening on MSN. She assured me that she spent the same nasty hours while she got back to Tampere in May. She was lost as well but finally got back to her feet late august. She found an interesting internship and moved to Helsinki. She sounded happy. She was baking a cake. I guess that must be a sign. I wouldn’t start baking a cake if I would feel good but I guess everyone’s different. I think I have been used to live too fast somehow. Expecting things to come quickly as a succession of events.
Pass this if geekness scares you. Today was marked by the launch of FF. After a what? 3 years development, it has finally been released on the rush the 13th of september in the evening. Announced the 17th it was pressured for a pre-release after the big news TF2 wrote the same day: Open beta for anyone who prepaid the orange box. I was home that afternoon and I could follow the event. With my macbook I wasn’t the best armed. So I stole my parents computer to try it out. It took me 4 hours to download all the necessary files. I know a little bit what to expect thanks to the heavy communication campaign? and all the medias already available. The result was a bit desappointing I must say but to be honest the PC I used couldn’t handle the FF greed for ressources. I’ll try it again some day when I’ll have the necessary equipment. I should really get some new gear before october, before TF2 official release. I poped in IRC also today. It’s been quite a while. I think since I got pissed off by Kji who couldn’t understand anything of my explanation about a PHP line code. I talked to him a little bit, it’s like nothing changed for him. I know that no matters what happens on earth, KJI will always stick to his routine and stay himself. And that’s refreshing. I’ve talked to Phox as well, but very briefly.
So, did you get to play TF2 (beta)? I used to play TFC a lot some years ago and I was very surprised when I saw the change of style in TF2 graphics. However now I don’t have my gaming computer in Iceland. That’s an effective way to quit gaming.
I haven’t tried it yet for the same reasons. I was a TFC freak back in the days. I started in high school in 2000 :D. I tried FF in a crappy computer. It looks pretty much as a straight portage of TFC in source engine. I had very few FPS and had some daily crashes. Now that I’m back in Reykjavik, I have my macbook that runs windowsXP but would be fairly unable to give me any good result. My company laptop would be powerfull enough but I’m not ready to mess with it yet. Finally, I share a crappy hive connection with around 6 others dudes in a flat where calm and quietness hasn’t a place. Not to mention that free times is not yet planned in my schedule.
I haven’t tried TF2 for the same reason. Besides, the last thing I want is to waste it because of a low configuration computer.
