my margaret, what a subpar ham

Sorry about the lack of anything at all really.

Been busy being cold as hell and working on the new Catface episode which is quite an ordeal as it's very action packed.


So heres a brief rundown of recent stuff I've been up to:

I got a space heater for my room. It's just too damn cold for me to sleep without it. Air conditioning system can't heat my room worth a crap. It cost about 14 bucks. Turns the room into an inferno relatively fast.

Billy Monks finished a working demo of our new game to present to his game-making course at his University. He has a working level editor and everything.
Here is a screenshot.


And a tiny version of the backround. The original is a 5mb 3500pixel wide png.

In other news, the game Killing Floor had a big christmas update. Twisted Christmas. You can see a trailer here.

Killing Floor is a shooter that began as a mod to a pre-existing game. (a trend I'm noticing in alot of good games). You and a group of up to 6 players take positions in a labyrinth of hallways, cubicles, forests, laboratories, whatever. And then proceed to kill a wave of mutants. After this, you earn money on how well you did to spend at a trader for better weapons, ammo, and armor. Then the next wave comes and is usually harder and has more higher leveled mutants. At the end of several waves the Patriarch comes along. A giant mutant scientist with a rocket launcher/gatling gun for an arm.
You can play a whole bevvy of military and science based characters. And you assign a perk to yourself. A perk gives you a proficiency in a certain variety of weapons. For example I'm a sharpshooter. My job is to get headshots using pistols and take down lots of the smaller zombies. My other more important job once a few waves have passed is to snipe the bigger MUCH more dangerous mutants with the crossbow. Or in some cases the M14 rifle. Crossbow reloads slower but kills pretty much anything in 1 headshot. M14 is like a blast-away-anything gun. Easier to use (and more fun) but not great for sniping or taking down larger angry mutants.

The xmas update makes the game cross over with tf2. The Pyro character is now in the game plus theres a hilarious new Christmas map that you can see in the trailer above. And the pyro in tf2 gets the gasmask and tie of the Mr.Foster character from Killing Floor.



cool huh?

Anyway back to work for me.
