[08/27-14:44] Chris Martinez: …that’s actually not a bad idea

Doom 3

Doom 3 is a great game. It looks outstanding, and I’m playing it in low quality. It feels very similar to the original Dooms. Doom 3 has plot, a flashlight, a soulcube, and a better game engine. Other than that, it’s just like the old ones. That’s not a bad thing. It’s very good. It’s a great game and is very fun but already seems a bit tedious. Shoot some stuff, search for a pda, shoot some stuff, go on to the next room, shoot some stuff, search for a pda, shoot some stuff, go on to the next room. I’m actually not sure if I’ll finish it anytime soon. However, I think every gamer needs to give Doom 3 a whirl.

Unreal Tournament 2004

I’ve been meaning to write this for a while.
Unreal Tournament 2004 is a great game. It plays fine with just about everything visual maxed. The game plays and feel just like Unreal Tournament. It looks great, sounds great, and is a lot of fun. What’s new from UT (I haven’t played UT2003) are teams and credits. Every match has an entry fee and a prize. Also, you must hire team members to fight on your side. New team members may be acquired by challenging other teams. It’s pretty cool.
I have ran into a problem with the game. It seems to take about 20 minutes to load a map. My HDD access lights stop, and the game basically freezes. At this time, I am also unable to alt-tab out. Once the map loads, the game plays fine. However, the second map I play won’t load at all. I have to quit and reopen the game. Of course, this makes it so I don’t play very often. I don’t know what’s causing this glitch.

Otaku

I dedicate this entry to Herbert.
Here is an excerpt from a Gaia Online post titled “Examination of American otaku 18.0 Types X,Y,&Z added.”
Type I . . . The Stalker. This type is less focused on animated series and comics than he/she is focused on actors/actresses/singers. Do you know your favorite singer’s birthday? The Stalker knows. Do you know where your favorite actor attended high school? The Stalker knows. Do you know what made your favorite actress decide to become an actress? The Stalker knows. Do you dig through their trash just to have something that was theirs to have and to hold and to hug and to save and to permanently tie you to your favorite star? The Stalker does. Are you the most dangerous person alive to your favorite star? The Stalker is.
And here’s another interesting post, “Japan: A nice place to visit . . .“

Zot Bill, Transcripts

I thought I received a bill from UCI today, but it was actually just a notice that after fees were taken from my grants, I have money left in my account.
I also got a call from Denise Earley today about my transcripts. She just received them, and after reviewing what courses I enrolled it, confirmed that I picked all the correct classes.

Cleaning

I just finished cleaning my computer. I went through and removed old folders, links, files, uninstalled programs I don’t want, and sync’ed my private, shared, mIRC, and Trillian folders with my external hard drive. I also moved data I don’t need on my internal HDD to my external, and I moved my high school work back to my internal. Ad-aware had some trouble, but finished cleaning, and NAV finished successfully, too. Yay.
