The Amazing Adventures of Captain Sensible and Commander Trollface.

Stop Animation Test.

I decided to do a little stop animation with PowerPoint. Dialog doesn't make sense, I know.

Paper balls are weak, I hear you say? They can cause paper cuts that will lead to infections and infections can lead to amputations and amputations can lead to death and so on and so forth! It is sissies like you that can't stand the sight of a deadly sharp paper ball flying towards you!

Fortunately, we have brave contestants who are ready to dodge every single throw and inflict as much pain as possible, for your entertaining pleasure, you sick freaks.

TEP Olympics: The Chair Horse Races.

The 2 Day Breaks, Part 1.

It's a 2-part, here's Part 1.

********************************************

In the Media Hub, dragging his mouse, Pisces moved the audio file forward in the timeline. He frowned, wondering why the audio still felt strangely out of sync. Pressing down the command and Z key, the audio file returned back to its original position. He wasn’t really sure what the problem was, but he still had time, he was going to solve it before-

“Okay! Pack up guys! Shut down your Macs and clean up your desks!”

Damn it.

Pisces sighed, and turned towards the source of the sound. There stood Mr. Handshake, approaching his desk. He went on to the next desk to view the video that Pisces’s teammate, Ying, was editing on.

Realizing he was never going to finish his editing in time, Pisces decided to turn off his Mac. Clicking on the all-too-familiar Apple icon on the top left hand corner of the screen, he moved his cursor towards the “Shut Down” button.

A paper ball flew past his head, distracting him from the button. Following its trail, it landed a few meters away from the wastepaper basket near the door.

“Ah, that was close.”

Whirring around, Pisces saw Mr. Handshake wrapping another paper ball and throwing it almost immediately. The paper ball landed on the table next to the wastepaper basket.

Almost immediately, the entire class jeered at Mr. Handshake, which when he stood up, walked to position himself in a longer distance from the wastepaper basket and announced:

“If anyone can throw this paper ball into the wastepaper basket from this spot, you can get a day off!”

The statement was met with a flurry of excitement, followed by a rush of eager contestants. Jockey was the first to try, taking the paper ball from Mr. Handshake with eager hands. With a powerful throw, Jockey let loose the paper ball, which flew-

-and collided on the door, resulting in laughter from the crowd and a smile from Mr. Handshake.

Charles picked up the paper ball, and went back to the spot. He swung his arm, testing the strength that he was about to use, and seemed satisfied after a few tries. With a deep breath, he threw the paper ball.

The paper ball knocked the outside wastepaper bin, and comically rolled away, resulting with more laughter from the crowd.

Pisces decided to give it a go, there’s nothing to lose anyways, he thought. But before he could pick up the paper ball, Jockey got there first, and passed it to Mohawk to try his luck.

Mohawk steadied himself on the spot with a cool attitude. With a confident swing, he threw the paper ball.

The paper ball hit the rim of the wastepaper bin, and dropped off the side, turning the crowd’s cheer into an awful chorus of groans.

Pisces picked up the paper ball, and walked back to the spot. He glanced at Mr. Handshake, who seemed to be grinning from ear to ear.

“If he can toss the ball into the bin, I’ll give him 2 days off!”

The crowd went into frenzy, watching Pisces eagerly to see him rise up to the challenge or fail miserably.

He was nervous, 2 days off. He could do a lot of things with 2 days off. He began swinging his arms, trying to decide for the perfect shot. With everyone’s eyes on him, it was difficult to even concentrate on the wastepaper bin.

With a loud exhale, he threw the paper ball. The ball flew through the air, with everyone’s eyes following it. It seemed to be like an eternity to Pisces, the paper ball defying the laws of gravity and physics, forever floating in the air, without the care of it being a 2 day off ticket for the person who threw it.

The paper ball landed on the edge of the table next to the wastepaper bin-

-which fell into the wastepaper bin with an empty thump.

The crowd went in disbelief for half a second, and immediately into a loud explosion of cheers and roars, as Pisces began cheering and jumping on the spot. He ran around the hub, giving running hi-fives to his friends and stopped right in front of Mr. Handshake, with the cheers still ongoing.

“So do I get my 2 days?” Pisces smiled cheekily.

Types of Voters.

If I were inside, I would be one of the Comfortables, but leaning a bit towards the "Bochaps".

2.4KM

1st Lap - "Gee, this is pretty easy, I bet I can finish the remaining 5 laps without breaking a sweat!"

2nd Lap - "Okay, I'm still one of the first few in front, nothing to worry, just keep going."

3rd Lap - "Holy shit, do these guys have iron lungs or something? I'm breathing rapidly like as if I'm beat boxing or something!"

4th Lap - Unfortunately, nothing would be going through my mind then, because it'll probably be in auto shutdown mode.

Crotch Grab lulz.

He sounds like Luke Skywalker, I swear.

Labour Day and How I Killed 10,000 Zombies.

WARNING: LOWER YOUR SPEAKERS WHEN VIEWING FOOTAGE.

No, it is not a screamer, moving on.

So during Labour Day, I've chanced upon a fun map for the popular shooter Left 4 Dead 2, which is based on the epic battle in Helm's Deep from Lord of The Rings.

Call me a nerd, but a mix of my two favorite things? Hell no am I going to pass this opportunity up.

So, I gathered a few stalwart players and jumped into the match. Within minutes, we were similary standing on the exact wall where Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas once stood against a whole army of Orcs.

But we have guns, they didn't.

The realization that a grenade launcher would do the job much faster just dawned upon him.

So. We begin.

0:00

I decided on an automatic sniper rifle, since I am obviously on a goddamn high wall, and a fire axe. (Yes, I was influenced by Gimli, /nerd)

I'm sure he was a big fan of sniper rifles too.

3:05

Well, looks like they're finally breaking through, after the flames and explosions and the hail of bullets, and the middle section of the wall giving way suddenly doesn't help at all.

Who did the royalty hire to build their walls anyways?

Please, nothing can break this wall apart from a horde of raving zombies! Nothing to worry!

6:00

We shifted from the walls down to the ground, where they were coming through the breach. Constant molotovs and pipe bombs helped lessen the tide, but the tanks were being a bitch and all.

Soon enough, the map told us to fall back. And usually if the map tells you to do something, it's in a way and tone similar to Arnold Schwarzenegger in Terminator 2 to young John Connor.

Also bears a striking resemblance to Dwayne Johnson.

8:13

Ah, so we have to hold the front gate. Sure, no problem, I bet we can hold it for hours, just like in the movie.

11:11

Dammit. Oh well, I bet no one can hold a sturdy wooden gate for a lengthy period of.. 3 minutes.

I swear the gate was like this. True story.

13:46

Great, the map won't open the door that leads to the keep, and we're fighting tooth and nail with the horde, not to mention the jocks seem to keep picking on me because of the gym jokes I made before the battle.

Point taken.

Oh well, I'll get rescued soon though, I have faith in my teammates.

16:34

Trust me, Coach lasted for 40 seconds against two tanks in that way. I blame my sucky recording skills.

Yes, I got pummeled to death by a bunch of zombies, while Rochelle got slammed off the keep's compound and straight into a Hunter.

Lol.

Well, let's see how long they can last.

22:14

Mmhmm, a full 6 minutes. The end was pretty laggish because on how big Fraps records it's raw footage, and I had to stop recording or ruin the whole game.

But I should have probably recorded anyway, they were overrun 1 minute after I stopped recording.

FINAL TIME: 23:16

Of course, we replayed the map trying to get a better score, but we never got above this. Apparently, the map ends at 40:00 where Gandalf would ride out in the plains to save our asses and kick huge zombie butt.

But hey, at least I got to explore the beauty of Helm's Deep,

With guns blazing.

Videos? No Wai!

Thought I'd tried something different.

Oh well, time to make me a sandwich.

Wait.
