Restoration

Its 2013 and I have and over the past 7 years i have used google online documents to write a lot of things, but there were always things that i didn't feel had a use laying around as files to merely view in the future. These are the more time sensitive posts. I should explain my interests. firstoff,I am a video game fan, furry, and anime lover. I'm also a person that refuses to take sides with the two political parties of the us of a. I try to be fair minded, though alot of times I will get out of hand and need to reel myself in. This has gotten me in some trouble in the past. I live with O.C.D, short for obsessive compulsive disorder, and sometimes the littlest thing will bother me till i freak out or panic. I've also been depressed on and off, ad my moods are bipolar alot, which means sometimes ill feel on top of the world and other times ill feel like i don't want to do anything or talk to anyone. I now have an xbox 360 console and ive enjoyed the last 3 years that I have it, however the quality of xbox live has been getting worse, with increased fees for online play and more ads on the dashboard while logged into xbox live.

I now have been playing on the steam client for PC as well as 360, since steam has alot more sales and I've been able to get games for a fraction of the cost during all those events, sometimes too many to all play at once, which I find funny. This last Christmas, the valve complete pack 2012 edition was on sale for 50 dollars, instead of the normal list price of 100 dollars. The pack included every valve game out so far, including the newly released DOTA 2 and counter strike global offensive. The only downside is that there is a lack of giftable game copies for games you already own, though it was still worth it for everything else included in it. seeing as how I've been trying to get my younger sister into gaming, it was a bummer info on what currently in the pack can be found here:
The odd thing is how many multiplayer games/apps valve has released. As most people know, there were two official versions of half life made for PC, 1 made in valves goldsrc engine, and another made in the newer source engine, with somewhat improved skyboxes and textures, as well as improved  pshycis, which is good seeing as how some of the puzzles in the game rely on physics. this remake was titled half-life:source. However alot of people didn't like the remake, and were aggravated that valve didn't put more work into making it look like the sequel game in the same engine called source, and thus there were attempts by fans to make a true source remake of the game. For about 7 years black mesa: source was in development, and just late this past year, a 75 percent complete prototype came out, bringing the game up to par with it direct sequel. ive had half life 2 for years, and on a separate steam app, hl2 deathmatch, a multiplayer arena of free for all killing with weapons from the story line, and its still populated up to today.
The game still receives bug fixes as current as this past week of this post. It also usually adds bug fixes to day of defeat source, which came out on the same version of source engine around the same time, and minor changes to crash bug in team fortress 2, leaving the rest of updates for major things to the team fortress 2 dedicated team. In addition to hl2 DM, there is also a deathmatch built in to half life 1 and all the expansions, in addition to a deathmatch app for the half life source remake, which are pretty much low populated (or in the case of hl deathmatch source) dead  due to redundancy.
My grandmother is now in a nursing home because of dementia, and it is tough to see her emotionally, but I do it out of respect for her. It also helps that the nursing home is right in my hometown of Derry. I have lived in derry, new hampshire most of my life, and its currently another month or so till spring, I cant wait to get back to the warmer weather. That is all for now
