Bubbles in the Air, Bubbles everywhere!

Today, apart from being a certain awareness day, was absolutely bucketing rain for most of the day. With the sky looking "English", and armed with a small bottle of bubbles I found while cleaning out my room, I took on the rain.

Bubbles actually last longer in the rain. You'd think that they's fail instantly, right? Wrong. And they stick to things, they don't burst on contact like they usually would.

And I got some photo's of the bubbles down the side. I blew some bubbles down the side, and they made a sweet image, so I thought "This'd look good for a photo". So I rushed in, grabbed my brother and made him take some photos.

Of course, the first image would never be the same again. Ah well, I still got some sweet photos, and used all the mixture in the bottle, which was what I'd planned.

And yes, I know that blue barrel looks like the floatable ones in Half-Life 2. I think the same every time I walked past it.

And that's Mark in that second photo.

Happy Singles Awareness Day, baby

Yup. It's that special day. The day where you're all alone in a sea of couples, although usually not me, for some reason.

I also got F.E.A.R. 2 today, and Left 4 Dead is 50% off for this weekend. I'm gonna get it tomorrow, Dad's just gotta move money over to out online debit card. Get geared up for a huge amount of male bonding sessions, mates!

And I did finally clean out my wardrobe, and moved all my old school books I may need into boxes.You feel sorta accomplished after finishing, kinda like getting an achievement. Which reminds me of this blog.

What's Your F.E.A.R.

I recently got the F.E.A.R. 2 Demo and just finished it. It ends too suddenly in the middle of a boss battle. Gah, makes me want the game as soon as possible.

And I only recently finished the first F.E.A.R. It took me a while, mainly because it was such a bland and repetitive, and every level look the same. Sure, it had a fantastic story, but it all looked a bit 1999-ish.

F.E.A.R. 2 is much better looking, with a better HUD, more variety of environments and it's back in the hands of Monolith, who made the original. The expansions, which I have not played, were made by Vivendi, I think. Apparently, they weren't as good.

So go out and get the demo. It's only 1.7GB!.

Also, I wish the HUD didn't flicker when Alma appears. It would give me more of a fright if I had no idea what was coming.
