This guy has really deep knowledge of portal's physics and abuses glitches. He has a 15 part commentary that explains how he does all the glitches and how the game works so that the glitches exist. Very interesting.

First led me to disabling something called the WZC. WZC doesn't exist on vista, so I got a program called Vista Anti-lag, but that didn't fix the issue either. I've spent the past 12 hours looking up how to fix it, but my only idea now is to uni...

When I first played Dawn of War with my friends, I couldn't help but get a little angry when I didn't know why their armies just rolled over mine. When I first got Left 4 Dead 2, I didn't know how I felt about it. I couldn't say I hated it. I couldn't say I was enjoying myself. There was no fun, but there wasn't any hassle in p...

Very fierce winds. I sat up and noticed a bright light outside my window. I'm still in a dreamstate at this point and immediately think "The end of the world" for some reason. I use occum's razor and see that the light is coming from my neighbors house, or close to it at least. I can see some trees lit up by the bright light. I hard...

There I joined a swim team. It's a small team, and all surrounding schools/areas are small as well, so I got pretty much all 1sts and 2nds because I'm so good or whatever. During swim team season, I probably played 8 hours of starcraft a day. My body clock, or whatever you c...

For instance, one person once told me that I wasn't a gamer because I rarely play an xbox, and that I play some retro 11 year old game. I also know that there are very few people who engage in games competitively like this community at TL with starcraft. I often quote some things from TL about starcraft to my irl frie...

First it was Doom, then starcraft, then diablo 2, dawn of war, etc. They want to play starcraft again. They know that I'm 'super good' (I can't make it to D+), so it should say something about their skill level. We want to do a 3v1, but even with their skill level, I think i'll lose, because of the economy of 3 bases to the economy of 1 is ve...

When people save their 1000th post for something, Whenver I read a post of theirs there's the glaring post count that is 666 upside down. 2. when people use backwards smilies like (: or D: D: is understandable i guess, but why (: ?

Super mario, stealth type fps (like 007 golden eye, where there are a total of 5 enemies on the map, etc), and RPG's.

I don't know why. Surely I should be rejoicing that video games are becoming so popular. If someone becomes competitive, that's another person I'm better than.
