On in-game attitudes
Since most of the games I play are online, I’m bound to encounter a lot of different players in-game. I started playing Team Fortress 2 about a couple of weeks ago, and can’t help but compare it to the Left 4 Dead community.
While I have to admit that I fell in love with Team Fortress 2’s gameplay, I have more love for Left 4 Dead’s community. I usually don’t feel the need for a mic during Left 4 Dead camps, so I don’t use one. When I play online, I rarely talk to the people I team up with – and that’s how I like it.
In Team Fortress, someone is bound to have a mic, and someone is bound to be a chatterbox. Sometimes along with that trait is an annoying in-game attitude which might make you want to rip the custom mouse pads off your desk so you can bang your head repeatedly on it.
There was one guy who felt the need to discuss President Obama’s shortcomings with the rest of his team while everyone else was trying to capture the flag. There are also guys who feel the need to criticize everyone else’s gameplay. There are the whiny guys who take the game too seriously that losing a round by 1 capture is considered a grave offense.
It’s crazy and, at the same time, admittedly entertaining. If anyone gets too annoying, I mute the noisy players.
On home maintenance
My mom loves shopping for housewares and home maintenance products. It’s something she tries to bond over with me, to no avail. To be honest, the only things that capture my interest when we shop are bathroom storage products. My brothers are messy people, and I like having things in order.
I like humidifiers too, since I’m asthmatic. And vacuum cleaners because of my cat allergies (I vacuum my room almost everyday because I have two cats). We seem to have an overload of housewares in storage.
I find it kind of weird. Which is why I’ll probably have to hire a maid service or something when I get my own place. I think I’ll end up being hopeless in this home maintenance thing.
Web hosting
I’ve been looking at web hosting plans for a while now, since I’ve been doing a lot of freelance projects which require their own domains and hosting.
I’m contemplating getting a VPS hosting account so I can host my clients in one server. However, it might make a huge dent on my budget for now, so I guess multiple domain hosting is the best choice for now.
However, I really want a VPS hosting account, since most of the sites I build are e-commerce sites and use up a lot of resources.
Should I get Team Fortress 2?

I’ve been thinking of getting this game for a while now, but I’m still wondering if it’s worth buying. The graphics seem to be great, and it’s cheaper than best weight loss pills.
I’m sort of hoping that there’s a demo I can test somewhere, so I can see if the game suits me before I buy. My friends have it, but I’m not in the mood to come over and try out the game on their computers.
I guess I’m going to have to do a Youtube search.
Mika – The Boy Who Knew Too Much

I didn’t know that Mika released a new album just five months ago. I’m out of the loop. I checked it out recently, and ended up liking it. I haven’t listened to Mika in years. Sometimes, I think his music is too much for me. Too flamboyant. I would rather read colonix reviews.
I have yet to listen to the whole album, but I really liked one song. Blame It On The Girls is pretty good.
