Sidenote: I've really got to blog more...

Well, ever since Saturday I've looked like hamster and been in horrible pain. So much so, I made a thread. Also was enlightened into what I'd look like were I fat. Interesting.


So far, I've mainly been playing the new Dawn of War II gamemode, The Last Stand. Managed to get my farseer to level 8 and captain to 3. Eldritch storm = win. Was very suprised to see the Imperial Guard make a return. Similar form as in the original. Guessing they'll be playable in whatever expansion comes out after Chaos Rising. Can't wait.


Also decided to buy World of Goo in the 'Pay what you think its worth' 1 year anniversary sale. While I didn't pay the full price, I payed x100 what the average Joe did, $0.01. So $1 left my bank account and all I can say is, "Well at least I didn't torrent it and you didn't lose money on bandwidth." From the amount of down-time the site had before I managed to get on, I imagine that'd cost them a fortune. Probably would have been better for the 1 cent folks to just pirate it. On-topic: It's a great little indie game that I remember playing and loving the demo of. However Xfire + Steam = Lag on submitting high scores. The online tower game (as seen above) isn't working either, as it can't seem to see my internet connection even though it had worked fine in the demo. Maybe the servers just really busy...

Starting to feel better, so can concentrate on more 'active games' like FPSs. Might play Ocarina of Time if I'm able enough to think.

Other Things That Have Occured Over This Dark Time Of All First Letter Caps
Earlier I also tried writing my first bit of C++ with a Book from 1997. A few IDE investigations and the decision of using notepad++ (and then some help from friends with correcting the 1997 mistakes...
Watched some K-ON! and fell in love with it.
Wrote this stupid blog.

So I just pulled this off of Google Health, as I've never had Mumps and was curious.


Other symptoms of this disease that can occur in males:
Testicle lump
Testicle pain
Scrotal swelling


I hope your not experiencing these symptoms.

@ChronosWing

Mumps can also make you infertile if it gets you in the manly bits. Thats why it's better to have as a child.

@ChronosWing: None of those unpleasant features fortunately.

Relic Kylias: I'd recommend against using old bookss to learn C++. A lot of stuff has changed both in the new versions of the standard as well as in the programming techniques. You can download a good free book which is up to date here: http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html
