F.E.A.R

I'm moving house, so I haven't had time to post much recently. This in itself isn't the best reason for not posting, but the truth is my letting agents for both the new and the old place, Executive Lets, are staffed primarily with special needs people. At least that's what it seems like. I will write a full report after I've moved in.

The house move has shat all over my creative input, and sapped my will to do anything, let alone spend time writing this, which always seems to take me much longer than anticipated, what with deciding what to write, editing photos etc.

I'm posting now, cos later the connection will be cut off in order for the new conection to be set up at the new place.

I've been playing the game F.E.A.R. For those living under a rock, it's a first person shooter with a paranormal/horror theme. Damn it's good. The Artificial Intelligence of the enemy is very clever, and the sneaky bastards work like a squad, flanking you from different directions, drawing your fire while others sneak behind you. They leap or dive over obstacles such as railings, boxes, and make full use of cover, leaning out from behind and firing, and occasionally even sticking out their guns only from behind cover and firing blindly in your direction.

Here are a couple of screenshots I've taken. These are a direct result of nailgun action. You get a gun called a 25mm Penetrator, or something like that. It fires 30cm long nails, and hit someone in the head, and they'll often get thrown back and pinned to walls by their head. This should explain the weird positions of the men. Unfortunately, the nails dissapear after a short period of time, so they're quite difficult to make out in these shots.


This guy was making a very dramatic leap over the railings behind him. Unfortunately for him, I saw him, and to my joy, killed and pinned him in mid jump! He's actually pinned by his collarbone, but the other nail in him faded, so he's just left with the one in the head.


ATC Bumming action! These guys may look like they're enjoying a spot of hide the sausage, but they are in fact both very dead, and pinned to their surroundings, again courtesy of my nailgun. The nail is just visable in the eye socket of the foremost guy, but it's hard to see, as he's also wearing shades.

Anyway, last night I had a dream that I was being hunted by all my schoolmates. Luckily I had a shotgun (and maybe a nailgun). I remember going into a loft room and there were a load of people from my class there. I remember holding them hostage with the shotgun, then for some reason I went to put on a blue coat. It had some change in the pocket, and as I picked it up, someone told me that it was Louis' coat. Louis was considered one of the 'hardest' kids in the year. He was in my class, and was sort of my mate.
Just then, Louis burst in through the door, then before I could move, he shot and killed me.

I didn't wake up. I restarted. This time I ignored the coat, and concentrated on getting myself to a defendable position before Louis returned....

Then my phone woke me up. Dammit. That was a fun dream. I wonder if I played the game too much yesterday....

Fuck Off.




That is all.
