I certainly need to don't I?
Been well over a month since my last post, which wasn't really a post anyway.
Oh well.
Schools nearly finished another term, two and a bit weeks to go, then two weeks of lazy. Woo hoo.
Got mock exams on currently, great 'fun'.
Thats all I have for you today.
Farewell

So apparently I can draw
I got bored, so I drew a Magikarp and coloured it in Photoshop.
For Reasons unknown my blog wants to kill the picture's transparency and replace it white.

*Intriguing Title*
Another week is past and I feel as though I'm getting behind in my school work.
Surprise surprise, I am. Whoop de do.
I've posted another story on my other blog. It was a piece I had to write for english. Go crazy.
One of my friends has introduced me to a new British mini series, named Sherlock.
It's obviously about Sherlock Holmes, but instead of been set way back when, its set in present day, setting it apart from other film adaptions of the book series.
I suggest you take a look at it, its got to be the best thing I've seen on TV for a long time.
Thats all for now, Farewell

I'm Lazy Don't Judge Me.
Despite my constant resolutions about "updating regularly" it seems I'm just far too forgetful and well, lazy.
Lets see..
New Term
My social circle has decreased slightly, although its a positive change, I prefer present company more so then the previous.
My ever present eagerness to whittle the hours away on my computer continues to impede my studies.
English remains at the top of my favorite school subjects while Graphics has become more of a bother then a fun 50 minutes.
Digital Media is as challenging as ever (Although that's my own fault, far to much time spent on the computer playing games instead of messing around with Photoshop.)
Maths is no longer the brain rape it once was, with a new teacher maths is far more interesting then it once was (My previous teacher happened to be a Chinese woman who seemed unable to grasp the fact she could not teach a class of English speaking teenagers.)
I begin picking next years subjects next Friday, I have my sights set on English, Design (A digital media spin off), Media Studies (Which has 3 good teachers, although two of them are by far my favorites in the school due to the shear awesome them seem to radiate. They also teach English. Wow these brackets are long.), Maths (No not really but I'm pretty sure its compulsory), and the advanced class for human biology (what can I say its my best subject this year), and C++ (I'm sure some of you know what is is or have at least heard of it, for those uninformed, it is one of the most common computer coding languages, for game and application design at least.)
I'm getting a hair cut this weekend, not that exciting although it will be the first time I've had short hair in a few years.
Keep an eye out for the birth of a new blog I will be co-authoring with my friends, for we are "The Western Gentry" and we stand proud... Yeah cheesy I know.
You may also see some new writing appear upon my other blog, in fact its just a matter of time as I'm typing up a story for English any way.
Thats all for now, thanks for reading.
Hello, Goodbye, Come Again.

When Atheists collide
Dramatic.
The rest of this post isn't.
So half of the holidays are done and I still haven't anything of note, apart from my overnight excursion with friends at New Lynn, and during that fateful night we founded...
The Western Gentry!
Although we only consist of 2 scrawny white boys, a Canadian and an Asian, we are proud to be those whom are members of this Western Gentry.
Needless to say were all atheists (unless I've been misinformed about the Canadian)
Anyway, I'm going to try give this blog some purpose, try keep up regular posts (Can I do it?) and put somethings of actual interest in it.
Step one of this plan is revamping the look of the blog, no more generic same old same old colour scheme. I shall continue to tweak the layout and colours, and I may even add a background Image, I just need some thing that won't make ones eyes bleed.
As for the interesting stuff, that would be me talking (how interesting) about things like Religion, Team Fortress 2, etc (I'm out of ideas already.)
I will also post anything I manage to write (storys, essays, etc) on my writing blog
Needless to say I'm going to try do something productive with these last 6 days, starting with that blog background, ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Ok, time for Ye old block of text, AKA My thoughts on Team Fortress 2's latest update (Hopefully I have a few readers out there who actually play this awesome game)
Well Valve has been hard at work, hyping up the community with their latest troll, The 100 Golden Wrenches. Now these wrenches are no different the the engineers normal wrench, except for the fact that their gold, and when you club someone to death with them, the unfortunate turns to solid gold, rather then another generic rag doll. Apart from this, the wrench has nothing, just the Midas Touch.
One could find a wrench when crafting anything. How ever, the finding of these wrenches was anything but random. Unknown to the vast masses, these wrenches were being dropped on predetermined times, to whomever was lucky enough to be crafting at that moment.
Discovering this, several people, including the famous Drunken F00l. Needless to say these people were vac banned and their wrenches returned to the drop system.
But enough about this wrench, onto the REAL update.
So over 4 days (with every 25 wrenches dropped) the engineer update was slowly revealed. 3 Maps (Pl_Thundermountion, Pl_Upward, Plr_2tower) and 4 Weapons.
The weapons being the Frontier Justice (Shotgun Replacement), The Wrangler (Pistol Replacement), The Gunslinger (Wrench Replacement) and The Southern Hospitality (Wrench Replacement.)
The Frontier Justice is a shotgun replacement with:
- No Random Crits
- A 50% smaller magazine (only 3 bullets in a mag)
- Revenge Granted Crits Upon Sentry Destruction (Either from enemy interaction or you blowing it up)
So what are revenge crits? Well when your sentry gets kills and assists, it builds up crits for use with the Frontier Justice.
1 kill gives you 2 crits.
1 assist, only 1.
KEEP IN MIND, YOU ONLY GET CRITS IF YOUR SENTRY HAS MADE A KILL OR ASSIST.
And one more thing, revenge crits have a max of 35.
The Wrangler is a pistol replacement
When in use (you have it out):
- Your Sentry gains a shield (lowers taken damage by 66%)
- You gain control of your sentry, using the Wrangler as a laser pointer which your sentry aims at (You also control when it shoots)
- Sentry's fire rate is doubled
- When you switch out of the wrangler your sentry shuts down for 2 seconds, rendering it vulnerable to any enemy attacks.
The Gunslinger is a wrench replacement and a hand replacement.
The Engineer's hand is replaced with a cybernetic version.
- +25 health
- No random crits
- Guaranteed crits on 3rd hit (Hold down mouse1 and your 3rd swing with crit, only if the first 2 connected with an enemy though)
- Allows the Engineer to drop 'Mini Sentrys'
Mini sentrys are level one sentrys, with a small light on top (team coloured), A doubled firing rate, and a 4x build rate.
They cannot be upgraded, and only cost 100 metal to build.
The Southern Hospitality is a wrench replacement.
(Can be made with Ambassador + Scrap Metal)
- No random Crits
- 20% vulnerability to fire when wielded
- 5 second bleed upon hit.
The update also gave the Engineer the ability to pick up his buildings, and carry then around the battle field (with a reduced walking speed.)
However, if killed when carrying a building, the building will also be destroyed along with the Engy carrying it.
Along with all these Engy buffs, we have also had some kill icons added! A new one for death by bleeding (Tribalman's Shiv + Southern Hospitality), one for the FAN and one for Natasha. The poor back burner has yet to receive one.
Well this update has been a fun one, Engys galore, as far as the eye can see.
Every server had at least 5 Engineers, and Hi Jinks ensued.
The Engineer has become slightly more.. aggressive. His new Shotgun and mini sentry allow for more offensive pushes, while the wrangler allows for greater defense.
The mini sentry doesn't cope well with the Wrangler, as a 4x fire rate uses up ammo in a flash, and the sentrys low health doesn't put the shield to great use.
For more reading on the update click here. And that's that.
Wow, long post IS long.
Thanks for reading (At least I hope you did)
As always, comment, rate, follow

The Second Coming
Thats right. I'm back.
With more atheism and Waffles then ever!
seriously this weekend I'm gona make some bitchin waffles)
So last week of school, things are winding down, watching movies in 3 different classes and slacking in the rest. Except of course for digital media, I've got resubmissions and don't even mention graphics I don't even know how far behind I am.
Richard Dawkings is awesome, I needed to say this somewhere, just finished The God Delusion a few days ago and must say, best Non-Fiction read I've ever had (Better then my old dinosaur books!)
Starting The Blind Watch Maker (Another Dawkings Book) these holidays and looking forward to 2 weeks of lazy.
Computer, Sleep, Food.
The 3 things every one needs to survive the holidays.
Would be nice to see some comments (Isn't it always?)
Oh and the deletion of all my old posts just makes this seem extra dramatic
