Math Tricks With Professor Larry-- ... Lesson 1 ...

Alright. This is Professor Larry, teaching you how to trick your friends. Alright, ask yourself this. And don't cheat to be smart, and don't open up a new webpage prior to this or print off any info and then counting it. Just try it. Alright, find 6 6-digit numbers that are divisible by 7, 11, and 13 within 30 seconds ... go.

.....

.....

... can't do it? Good. No normal person can. The trick is, any sequential 3-digit number (i.e., 123 [one hundred and twenty-three]) doubled like so (i.e., 123,123 [one hundred twenty-three thousand, one hundred and twenty-three]) is divisible by 7, 11, and 13. Look, for example, six random results:

123,123
234,234
345,345
456,456
598,598
777,777

See? Simple, right? Now go off an quiz!

Boo! Says You ... Pt. II

Oh, no! I ate one and they ... they multiplied!!! Oh, god ... how will I possibly get them away! A red and a skinny blue one! And I already ate a blue one! And I'm eating this blue one, now! Time to finish you off, you red piece of-- ... >.<

... BWAHAHAHAHA ...

Boo! Says You ....

At my desk this morning, I found a crumpled tissue from across the room ... approaching my desk I noticed it was a ghost One of those tissues with a ribbon covering a lollipop. A Tootsie-Roll Pop, to be exact. I've included a picture to the left. I found it interesting ... and yummy ...

... just thought you guys might've wanted to get into the Halloween spirit ... *sniff* ... *boo* ...

... GIVE ME A BREAK!!! >.<

The Half-Life Revelations-- ....

Half-Life(1): Anthology

Alright, here we go. I'm givin' you the info, the pictures, and my ratings, Gamespot-style. Alright, let's do this! >.< style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Half-Life

Gameplay: 10/10 - This game freakin' rocks, no hands down. It's well-paced, good puzzles, great storyline. All over the map this game covers the points.

Graphics: 8/10 - I tried to find a balance with the rating: the graphics don't compare for today (stack-up against its sequal), but were great in its time. Hence, an 8.

Sound: 7/10 - The voices sound metallic at some points and Gordon doesn't talk ... at all ... but, yet again, it was the best they had at the time.

Value: 10/10 - Refer to the gameplay elements.

Tilt: 9/10

Overall: 8.8/10 = Great ... "You play as Dr. Freeman, Gordon Freeman, to be exact. You are a down-and-dirty scientist who features a job at the Black Mesa Testing Facility in a secluded area of New Mexico ... think: Roswell. As you go down to the labs, a test goes horribly wrong, thus opening an interdimensional portal between your world and an alien world called 'Xen'. Fighting your way through the complex, Freeman turns things around and you're forced to travel to Xen to take on the boss ... not to mention the G-man ..."

Final Verdict: A definite buy.

Half-Life: Blue Shift

Gameplay: 8/10 - I found this expansion slightly less worthwhile than Opposing Force, but a lil' more than decent. Hence, the 8.

Graphics: 8/10 - Same as Half-Life's.

Sound: 7/10 - Same as Half-Life's.

Value: 8/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Tilt: 9/10

Overall: 8/10 - Great ... "You play as security guard Calhoun. You come to Black Mesa as your daily job, going to your post, as things start to go wrong ... and you realize that you almost face the same fate as Gordon ... although his and yours are unfolding at the same time ... therefore, you're a security guard backing up Freeman ... well, not physically ... but ... -sighs- ..."

Final Verdict: A buy as long as you liked the first one.

Half-Life: Opposing Force

Gameplay: 10/10 - Playing as an Army-guy that has run-ins with Gordon and then has to face the same sh*t Freeman does at the same time (hence Blue Shift, also), is totally f*cking hilarious.

Graphics: 8/10 - Same as Half-Life's.

Sound: 7/10 - Same as Half-Life's

Value: 10/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Tilt: 9/10

Overall: 8.8/10 - Great ... "You play as an Army Ops guy, sent in with Nightvision and all to silence people within Black Mesa ... for good. Duh. But aliens attack you ... the helo crashes ... and you fight your way through the facility, bounce back and forth between Xen, and have a few sightings of Freeman. By the end, I feel it ends on the same note as Freeman's battle ... but I don't believe it ends as happy."

Final Verdict: A definite buy as long as you own the original. >.< Half-Life: Team Fortress Classic

Gameplay: 10/10 - Wonderful. Just wonderful.

Graphics: 8/10 - I'm giving it a freebie point because it's multiplayer. =P

Sound: 8/10 - Same as above.

Value: 10/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Tilt: 10/10 - (Booyah!)

Overall: 9.2/10 - Awesome ... "TFC descrip ... look it up near the top before the reviews." xD

Refer The Entire Anthology? - Yes. Hell yes.

Counter-Strike(1) - Anthology

This pack is another repack (for another $20) featuring the original Counter-Strike, a great multiplayer game, by the way, Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, which is the single-player campaign/expansion to the original CS, and CS: CZ - Deleted Scenes, which are some deleted maps to the campaign for CZ. So ... let's check it out!!! >.< Counter-Strike

Gameplay: 6/10 - Although it spawned the CS series, I just don't feel it's as good as CS:Source that comes with HL2. No, it's not the graphics ... it's just the general design ...

Graphics: 8/10 - Same excuse as HL:OF.

Sound: 8/10 - Same as above.

Value: 7/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Tilt: 9/10

Overall: 7.6/10 - Good ... "We all not Counter-Strike. We don't really need an explanation, do we?" >.<

Final Verdict: On-the-fence. It's a classic, but just not as worthwhile as if you could go out and buy HL2 for $30 - $50 and get CS:Source.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero

Gameplay: 8/10 - Single-player CS is amazingly more fulfilling than multi-player ... well, for the original, at least. =P

Graphics: 8/10 - Obviously.

Sound: 7/10 - Mm-hm.

Value: 8/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Overall: 6.2/10 - Okay ... "I don't have to go over this, either, do I? It's single-player CS ... against AI ... period."

Final Verdict: I think this was actually a fair buy in the anthology.

Counter-Strike: Condition Zero - Deleted Scenes

Gameplay: 8/10 - Same as CS:CZ.

Graphics: 8/10 - Obviously ... again ...

Sound: 7/10 - Exactly.

Value: 8/10 - Refer to gameplay elements.

Tilt: 7/10

Overall: 7.6/10 - Good ... "This doesn't need explaining, either."

Final Verdict: I think CS:CZ - DS was a waste of box space. Seriously. This isn't a f*cking film. We don't NEED new maps, when we can DOWNLOAD them for FREE and NOT for $20. -_-;;;

Refer the Entire Anthology? No. Not really.

--"Grim Reaper"

CS + HL = CS/HL ... and x equals ... ?

I just bought the Counter-Strike Anthology 1, that comes with CS, CS: Condition Zero, and CS: CZ - Deleted Scenes. I also just bought the Half-Life Anthology 1, which comes with HL, HL: Opposing Force, HL: Blue Shift, and TFC [Team Fortress Classic].

Wish me luck, 'cause I'm going in. I might have a slight review for it ... later ... if I can rip myself away ... 0.0 xD

=P

Kickin' @$$ And Takin' Names ...

Hah, it's the Reaper, again. I've finally fixed my computer, so that it runs fast again, whilst not having to lose all of my precious 120 GB-worth of files. ^.^ Oh, yeah, and I have a two-week break. Yes, yes; I am a lucky bastard.

I also ran out to Circuit City yesterday, picked up a CAT5 cable, ran it underneath my living room rug and connected it to my XBOX, purchased a starter kit, put together & plugged in the headset/microphone, and made an XBOX Live account off of the 3-month free trial. So, if you see 'Raftacon' or any of his 'guests' playing around in Halo 2 or Ghost Recon 2, send me a message. I'd be glad to see anybody who actually reads this. -wink-

^.^;;

Ah, yes, and I checked up on one of my past websites that I left under the control of some dedicated fans, and they're doing great as staff members. I also haven't worked much on the mod-map for HL2 for the [machinima] project, but I have been putting together some 'secret' material for Green Vs. Yellow ... -cough- -cough- ... oh, yeah: and I've still been owning on CS:Source, too. ^.^

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some daily-pwnage to ensue. >.<

Raw Sockets

The poor, poor UNIX fanboys. How dare they attempt to degrade Windows. And I made a shocking discovery. Windows XP is like ... NT ... turned Millenium ... turned in a sugar-coated, candy-ish interface, wrapped anew and shipped as XP. 0.0 Woah.

Oh, right, Raw Sockets. A program hiiden inside Windows XP with Service Pack 1. Allows a hacker to open it and spam packets out to your computer ... but instead of tracing the IP, they can spoof a fake one. Cool, right? -_-;;;

Wrong. How would you like it if your computer got hit with a virus with a fake IP. Exactly. -_- And then, did it shock you to realize it was Microsoft's 'Raw Sockets' fault that sent the Sasser32 worm and WBlast worm. Yeah. And the sad fact is it's still floating around there. It's not gone. We just can't get it anymore ... well ... the people with SP2 can't, the people with SP1 are at risk, though.

Now, excuse me while I own in CS:Source and mod a map for a machinima project.

Oh, yeah. xD

Black Clouds

Today was hell. And I sure as hell mean it.

Alright, look. Not only did I sleep in a little too late, but I was late getting to school. On top of that, once I arrived, we had to lug all of our books and items out of our lockers because they were PAINTING them. PAINTING LOCKERS on a WEDNESDAY? Think: weekend, people. Alright, that I could handle. So I stopped by my first period class, dropped them off, took the ones I needed, that went fine. Next: music ... well ... that went well, too ... third period, Literature, as always, I forget to a new book for out 'reading log'. Again. For the third day in the week. And tomorrow I have to read 25 pages no matter what and write a 40-word summary. Doesn't sound like much? You try it ever freakin' day of your busy like, once-a-week, every week, 'til the goddamn school year's over.

Alright, now that Lit.'s out of the way ... fourth period ... Science ... oh, know, we didn't do workbook pages or look in our book ... oh, god no ... we had to help Home Depot paint the BENCHES. And there were [clear] tarp-things and brown-paper-covers all over the ground ... and we had to use blue-gray PRIMER on the benches ... ALL OF THEM! And there are MANY damn benches in that area. And then I got primer splashed all OVER my good JEANS. -sighs- May this never end?

No, it doesn't. Keep reading.

Since today was a day we got out early (1:55, YES!), we had to go to fifth period before lunch. Alright, that works. So, I'm the 2nd period teacher's TA fifth, but I have to fill in the bass part, so I take out my [bass] pick, pick up the bass, and play for 31 minutes. During lunch, I listen to my CD player, and Mr. Standifer comes up, rips it out, and walks to the office. I was sitting there, like, WTF? THAT was smooth. So much for electronic devices on school grounds, even if it WAS Beautification Day ... a day we got to stay afterschool for extra credit (if we wanted it), and I brought it to listen to it so I'd have something to do unlike the year previous. Right.

Sixth period ...

After the lunch-fiasco, I had to go into Algebra. I missed 10 out of, what, 30/40-something problems (or so?) on the previous night's HW, I did, like, the worst on that HW out of the entire class. So, I was distracted. Sue me. Seventh period. Gym. Nice basketball game, don't have to dress out this Wednesday, but I stop by the PE teacher afterclass. I learn I got a B. A B+. How the hell do you get less than an A in PE if you dress out and work hard EVERY FREAKIN' DAY!?! Oh, did I forget to mention I've gotten a B+ (89%) in Algebra? Yeah, more like a 91% 'cause of a mistake she made, but to get an A-, SHE requires a 92% or above. WTF?

So, afterschool, I pick up my CD player from the office, get scolded by the teachers, and walk to Jaeden's, drop off my backpack and sh*t, and report back to school ... but the school announces its been postponed, because they're afraid too many kids are gonna get in the way of Home Depot painting the lockers. Bullshit. -_- So, I walked down to the skatepark between Jade's house and school. I walk down with him and Chris, as he breaks off to go home, Larry joins us. We walk down to the 'bowl' where the skaters do their tricks, and I watch. Jade lends his scooter to some kid, watching him go around the bowl as ... low-and-behold ... the police drive up.

"5-0, 5-0!" The kids screamed, as they began to pick up their items and leave, John leavin' Jade's scooter in the bowl, Jonathon running off. The cop car, with the loudspeakers said, "If you do not have the necessary pads or materials to skate at the skatepark, leave the premises immediately! I repeat ..." Jesus. So, Jade and I (and Larry) walked off from the skatepark, as Jade stopped, and said, "Oh, shit, my scooter! If I go back to get it, I'll get in trouble!" He pointed at the police car. Don't worry, be happy, I think to myself. I wish him luck, Larry and I walking home ... him his 1 mile, mine my 2 ... -shakes head- ...

Sucks, eh?

Barbed Wire Biscuit

Oh, yeah, it's me, again; I mean, seriously, now, who else would post here BUT me? Well, Jaeden, but we sorted that out ... -flips off Jade- ... oh, yeah, anyways ... uhh ... yeah ... 'lovehatetragedy', the Papa Roach album rocks! Yup. School's been ... good ... -cough- ... blackmail ... -cough- ... spam ... -cough- ... do YOU want a million dollas? ... didn't think so ... >.<

Um ... sooooo ... I'm taking up your time, I guess ... xD ... oh, yeah, and to repeat myself, Red Eye was a GREAT movie, I didn't like The Brothers Grimm that much, Max Payne 2 does NOT suck ass, it ROCKS total ass (contradictory to people, I know, I know), and Saving Private Ryan and Star Trek: Nemsis are great movies.

Current Song: She Loves Me Not - Papa Roach

HAX0RZ! HAX0RZ!

Yeah, my retarded friend Jaeden hacked into my blog and posted. Unfortunately for him, it lasted for almost 15 minutes before it became deleted, obsolete, and changed. Poor baby. I sympathize for him ... no, really, I do. Being dropped on your head as a baby and being raised by wolves has bad effects on the mentally challenged part of the brain.

Oh, and, by the way Jade: F*ck you.

Who Wants Ice Cream? I DO! I DO!!

Hey, all. Oh, yeah, it's the Reaper, back with some news. Yeah, I'm sick. Yes, I went to the doctor. No, it's not pneumonia. Yes, it's bronchitis. If you'll excuse me, I've gotta go [-(censored)-] until I [-(censored)-]. I love you, too, America ... and Communist Russia ... I spit in your face! -twitch-

Anyways, friends and another friend of mine started role-playing tonight. Clips from the conversation (non-rp): [Key: Spartan = Christian, Glennlego = Reaper, Firelizard = Charlie, Blob = Larry, maKa vEli siNz = Jaeden, & avalonNightlover = Jessica]

On second thought, why post the actual thing when I can tell you the craziness right here? I love you world ... anyways, Charlie threw chickens at the Nazis, Christian got in a fight in the tavern, Larry left about a quarter-of-the-way-through, Jaeden logged off early, and Jess and I ... well ... -kicks a stone down the street, walking off the screen-

Blah-Guild-Blah-Wars-Blah-Sucks

Oh, sweet lord, where do I start? The whole game is whack. My friends got it, so, I naturally had to run out, buy it, and see what they were addicted to. The games they had gotten in the past were pretty good, but when I tried this out, it proves that my friends have very bad taste in videogames. If they can change my mind with their next game-hit, then, fine: but this is an unforgiving pile of crap.

On a negative note, the game is free. Yes, you'd think this would be a positive, but being free adds to the crapness rating. Why would you even play this steaming pile of crap? There are better alternatives with better depth. Namely so, World of Warcraft, EverQuest, and its sequal: EverQuest 2. Now THOSE games have a storyline, great gameplay, the ability to group, great environments, crafting, etc. THIS game ... look, I don't even have words for it.

Oh, yeah, one-click and I attack a monster. It's too bad it gets repetitive after the second time you click the goddamn thing. Spells. Yeah. Rip-offs. Weak. Blah.

How the hell can you rate crap? I might as well just get onto Guild Wars to blam the shit out of of my friends for even buying this game. Look, if you're too cheap to buy a GOOD MMORPG, then you don't deserve this game of any other goddamn MMORPG out there.

Period.

Happy Independence Day, Communist Russia!!!

Yah, last second I was invited over to said-friend's house [Christian's]. He had another guy over [Larry], but, he couldn't stay the night because he had a test at 8:00 in the morning the next day at MPC. We had plans to wake him up early, but the jackass wouldn't call and ask his father. Tell me how braindead you have to be to say that you'll get in trouble if you ask and he says 'no', although he said his father would probably say 'yes' anyways, but he didn't want to risk it ...

... what a dumbass. -_-;;;

Setting off fireworks at around 8:00 at night, on the 4th, we had those imported Japanese "spark fountains" that, when lit, had a short fuse, you could run off and watch the sparks go up in the air, while waving your sparklers around in the air ... until Cris got burnt by holding two sparklers in each hand ... and then those 'you retard!' moments:

Cris: *runs forward* *5 sticks of fireworks are sitting on the ground* *tries to light all of them at once* *lights middle two* *spark out of control*
Reaper: Shit! *ducks behind plastic chair, peering around corner of chair, watching Cris trying to retardedly light the other fireworks beside the ones that are sparking* You're gonna get burnt, y'know!!
Larry: *waves hand* Don't worry, he probably wants to get burnt.

--LATER--

Cris: *fountain of sparks firecracker flips on side, so sparks travel along ground* *Cris, acting like a retard, tries to get the box to face upwards, failing, yet if he had succeeded, the sparks would've flown up into his face, possibly injuring him ... no shit ... =P*
Larry: Christian, you retard!!

Oh, yeah. The night went like that ... now, start celebrating, cossacks! I know who you are ... damn Russians ... ... ... >.<

Jackson's Verdict Is Utter Bullsh*t!!!

Hah! Michael Jackson's verdict is "Not Guilty" -- ... -- MY A$$! This is utter bullsh*t people. 10 COUNTS! 10 F**KING COUNTS, and they STILL found him "Not Guilty" for the main charge on each one AND the LESSER charge for each one. If I were on the jury, there would be no changing my mind that that perverted molestor would be going straight to the slammer, and the jury would have to agree with me or, or we'd never reach a verdict, 'cause I know that my opinion, and anybody else who thinks the same is, rest assured, got the RIGHT opinion. Whoever thinks he should be ... er ... LET HIM set himself free and walk off unscathed is on f**king crack.

Halo Script: Don't Shoot The Messenger!!!

Update: According to very reliable resources ... *cough* ... Attack of the Show ... *cough* ... Bungie and Microsoft are sending men in green and gray Halo armor, the REAL replicas, over to film directors across the country, and actually dancing OVER them while they read the script, so they can snatch it back as soon as their done.

Oh, yeah: and they want copmlete control over the project ... damn bossy people ... =P

Thank God For Great America!!!

Oh, yah. Today, went with some friends down to Paramount's Great America, y'know: the one down in San Jose, y'know, the Calif. area. =P Well, yah, the bus ride was about an hour-and-a-half there and then an hour-and-a-half back, which was pretty godd@*n annoying, but, hey, I'm not complaining: I played a card game with two of my friends, Cris and Kevin, "13". Don't know why it's called that, but I think it has to do with the 13 cards dealt to each player at the beginning of the game ... and then it's a helluva hard job to deal cards on a moving bus ...

Anyways, it was pretty hilarious on the way down to San Jose, ... well, upwards, if you whip up a map and look from where we started-to-San-Jose. But, nobody cares. *shrugs* Once there, we were about 10 minutes later then expected, and we went on every single main roller-coaster: Invertigo (first one, pretty frickin' hilarious experience). And then there was The Demon (pretty corkscrew turns). And then there was the Vortex ... all though you had to stand up on that one when it went upside-down and made loop-de-loops ... that one actually made me slightly sick ... =P) And, then, finally, there was Top Gun (dude, that thing is INSANE). Two neither of my MAIN friends could be there to make it: Aranya, who's in Brazil (Heylo!! >.<), and my other friend from previous posts who is called "Jade", who was too stone-- ... er ... grounded to come ...

Ech, I would write more about how the most terrifying ride in the park was the ObservationTower, but it's late, I'm pooped, and I'm listening to the FREAKIN' "STAR TREKKIN'" song by THE FIRM, and it's driving me F@&KIN' INSANE!!!!! *twitch* =P

'Nite, y'all. (Yes, Jade, I can write it this was if I want, too ... oh, and at the park, I got a tattoo of a grim reaper w/ a scythe on my left bicep ... *argh* ... fear the muscle ... >.<)

P.S. - Aranya: Call me. xDDDD

You Got F**ked!!!

... ... ... Most vulgar title yet, although it gets to the point: ... ... ...

... ... ... Awhile ago, reminiscing on memories-upon-memories, I came upon the point, once again, about lunchtime, which, apparently, was noon-time. My OTHER friend, 'Malcolm', was running around the school away from these other girls (for reasons inexplicable), including one of them by the name of 'Karen', but, once he lost them, he came running past me. Naturally, in the cold hear of mine, I held him back with one hand and waited for Karen and her friends to hit the utter s**t out of him. I walked back to my locker, smirking, to put away a few books-'n-things. While I was walking to my humble locker, Malcolm screamed at me over my shoulder, "You bastard!"

We both burst out laughing.

... Now for the title. Once I made it back to our humble (god, love that word) lunch-area that I had left from, Jaeden was by Malcolm, yelling at him, pointing, mockingly, in-all-the-above-manners-listed, "You got F**KED!!!". He was chortling in laughter. Ah, it might not seem like much to you, but ...

... *pft* ...

... what do I care?!?!?

--Reaper

P.S. -- Hope you had a good Giants ball-game Jade. Can't wait to hear about it tomorrow. (Yes, this is considered an editorial) ... ... ... =P

*blink* Don't Make Me Go Ninja On Your Ass ...

A while ago, in the school's computer lab, my friend Jaeden and I were sitting side-by-side, and another friend Kahlia, got in trouble for chewing gum in the library so she had to clean the gum stuck onto the bottom of another keyboard in the copmuter lab. Gross, but ... fine, on with the story ... she eventually had to un-plug it, and with me not remembering that, I was looking a facts page about some certain kiddie's line of text that you were educated with when you were in 1st grade, and Jaeden replied, "This entire screen has every letter but 'z' on it." He showed me, and I commanded him to go to 'zorro.com', not knowing it was a real website, (and, know, Mr. Zorro-owners, this is NOT a promotion for your website and affiliation), and he remained silent for a second before turning back to his iMac and pounding on the desk where the keyboard should've been. We were laughing about it, and then ... *yawns on* ...

... SO WHAT IF I'M A LITTLE BRAINDEAD???
