Revision Dodging

Right now, I have 26 hours until my next exam (Computing CP4), yet I am sat blog posting! What a mistake-a to make-a!

Anyway, I've now done 5 exams, and have another 8 left to go. Only 13 days left though! They do like to cram these exams into a nice small space of time!

Since I've finished school, I've discovered PKR - a 3D poker game that you play from your computer over t'internet against other people. It's quite addictive - and a very good waste of time! I came 112th out of 400 in a tournament last night, went all-in on a pair of Kings, the other bastard had a pair of Aces -.- Will be back in the tournament tonight, going to beat last nights record!

I've also discovered some more stuff, which I'll post about later today.

Right, who wants a game of Monopoly?!

My life: update!

I'm annoyed at my computer right now. Are there any trojans going the round right now? :S My PC seems to slow to a crawl one minute, and then be fine the next :( I think its dying/infected - and either way I want rid of it!!!

Managed to get next draft of Physics coursework done this weekend - but then the bloody printer ran out of ink, and I've got none spare :( Have to wait for a Viking order to come through now!!! At least I've got an excuse for not doing Computing coursework though :D Hehe

I'm fed up of Poynton. That's enough said on the matter, although things are looking up slightly! School still blows though...

Thats about it for my life at the moment... interesting isn't it?!

Half-life 2

Just completed the latest Mod that I've found (Half-life 2: Riot Act)... absolutely amazing!

Got about 3 hours gameplay out of this - simply unreal for a freebie! My hat any any other headwear goes off to the developers! Would post a link, but I can't remember it... its late and I can't be bothered googling (yes I'm that tired, see next post)

Saw today that HL2:Episode 2 is up for pre-order... in part of "The Orange Box".

This contains:

• Half-life 2 (already have)
• Half-life 2: Episode One (already have)
• Half-life 2: Episode Two (point of buying this package)
• Portal (No idea, looks like more puzzles and less shooting - will give it a crack before slating this one)
• Team Fortress 2 (not bothered, was really into TFC, but they seem to have ruined it)

All for the low low price of... $44.95 (about £22.50 ish)

I don't really agree with the added things, I would like to be able to get EP2 on its own really, but for £22.50, I don't mind too much. Providing it really is £22.50. Will probably be more like £40 in this country. Sound fair to you?

Anywho, its out in just over a month (October 10th I believe). I will be ordering my copy. I'm that ruddy dedicated!

Update: Just had a look on Play.com. RRP £34.99 (told you so...) but they're doing it for £26.99... reasonable (ish).
