Russian Meteor Shower

The other day in Russia they had a spectacular meteor shower created from rocks that had broken off from a larger meteor thats supposed to pass us soon.  20th or something, I'm not sure.  I'd look it up to keep from being wrong but I have no problem with being wrong.  I am also too lazy to check.  This would be really awesome if people hadnt been injured during it. I dunno how that happened either.  Probably crashed their cars while looking up or walked into cars while looking up.  Heres a clip with a few different videos from different areas.

4K tvs are amazing

I'm sure everyone has heard about the new 4K tvs that are out or even seen them.  I didnt think much at first.  You know, just a larger tv that keeps the picture sharp instead of getting slightly blurrier.  But I saw one the other day at the store and I was floored.  The thing was huge since they're only out in big planet size.  But the quality of the image was unbelievable.  It was sharp and clear and just amazing.  You know normally when you stick your face right up to the tv set your eyes go a little stupid focusing and sometimes hurts?  Well at least for me.  I'm talking finger length distance.  With this thing it didnt hurt at all and the picture stayed focused the entire time.  I just cried.  Especially after seeing the $15k price tag. 

I can only imagine what this would look like at 4K.  Not very good I'm sure.

Game Giveaway Update + more games

So little update.  My hope was to hand out the games this weekend with Jed, but hes been virtually impossible to get a hold of so I've decided to push it to next weekend so he can be on during the livestream for it.  Yeah its annoying, but I'm locking him in early so everyone else in his real life can give him some spare time to actually do something.

So because of the extra week I've decided to put 2 more games up for winning, and this way I can hand out 4 games next weekend which should be pretty entertaining.  So here are the two games, and again same as before, place your details up for 1 of the games, preferably the one you havent played yet.  The first one is a particular favourite of mine.  Love it to death.  As usual, steam copies.  If you voted for the previous 2 games last time you can still put your name down for one of these as this is a new competition.



The Witcher 1





Darksiders 1

Crysis 3 clip 2

Second half.

Crysis 3 multiplayer test 1

I felt like trying this out just to see if my system could handle it.  Not too bad really but I'll look forward to seeing what the nvidia experience program does with it.  I'll put the second half up once it finishes uploading.

My poor cat is very sad

A few years back my cat had gotten a nasty infection of the gums that stemmed from an infection he got from a cut on his cheek during a fight with another cat.  He had the upper back teeth removed on one side because it was pretty nasty.  He got over this.

Fast forward to now and I noticed his teeth were getting a little yellowed and one in the back looked like it could become a problem, so I was planning to take him in for a clean.  The last week I've noticed him whimpering slightly when chewing.  He didnt do it all the time so I thought maybe one of the biscuits he was having was just stabbing at his gum in some way.  So I took him in today to get any issues sorted.

While there the vet looks at him and after a little inspection says to me 'His jaw seems to be broken'.  I'm like WTF?!  Says could of happened when biting down too hard on something.  My cat is 17 so I dont know if his bones are awesome anymore so I thought ok..  He gave me 3 choices.  Leave it and see if it heals, chances of that happening are slim.  Have him operated on and a wire used to hold the jaw in place to heal better, would cost over a grand.  Or put him down.  Obviously I went for door number 2.  He says theres a chance Kyo, my cat, might not make it through the anesthetic because of his age.  I told the doctor to worry about his side of things as I know how tough my cat is and thats not going to worry him.  He said he'd call me back in mid afternoon.

He calls me up later and says xray showed no break of the jaw.  It was an inflammation from a couple issues with his teeth on both sides.  The ended up having to remove all his back teeth and 1 of his fangs which had a hole in it.  I was aware of that hole but figured they never paid attention to it much so it could of been shallow.  I guess it was a problem too.

So yeah, you can imagine what an emotional stress thats been on me and obviously Kyo.  The stitches in his mouth will dissolve so thats cool, and I have to go back for a check up on thursday.  At the moment his mouth is a little swollen but that should sort itself out in the next couple days.  Poor guy has gone through way too many things in his life.  Dozens of vet visits.  This cost me almost $1200.  NOT fun when you havent been working for a while.  At least the people there say I'm one of a kind.  Most others would of opted to put him to sleep.  Not my cat.  I'm going to cling to him as long as I can.

The Great Game Competition!

So this should be fairly entertaining for myself.  Like I mentioned in the video I've always wanted to do something but its tricky when majority of the people who follow Jed and myself are overseas to me, and Jeds very busy trying to make babies etc.  So heres what I'm going to do...  Every week or so I'll be putting up 2 steam games for the winning.  Now what you do is in the comments you put the name of the game you would like to try for.  Only 1 of the two.  I considered doing just 1 game at a time but figured it would be more fun having 2 people happy instead of 1.

Now lots of people post on here with an anonymous username so this will be tricky.  For those people could you put the game plus your youtube username next to it so I know who is who.  Also if you already own the game it would be brilliant if you didnt try for it so that someone who doesnt have it can get a chance to play it and I will love you long time for it.

The way I plan to do this is generally leave it running for a week so people have time to put their name down, and then on the weekends announce the winners.  I'm thinking of doing a Livestream type thing and pulling the names out of a hat.  If we're all lucky Jed can be on at the same time, but like I said hes pretty busy these days trying to make babies.  After the giveaway is done I might do something like maybe stream a game or a little silly Q&A session or whatever, I dunno.

If you lot have any ideas that you think would make this better for the next round then totally give me your ideas.  I wont be making a youtube video each time I do this so if you could visit the blog for the next round I'd totally appreciate it.   Thankfully I dont have a huge userbase that follows this place so it should be easier for me lol.

OK!  Here are the first 2 games!

Mark of the Ninja



Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
