Went for a walk in the snow and managed to take a good few shots. I was creeping up on this Heron but it spotted me some how in my bright red jacket. So I had to try and capture it on the move, this was the best shot shame I missed it’s head in the shot.
Well I really do neglect this site but it is essentially just to provide me with some hosting space and emails so not a loss.
Currently sat squashed into my dining room with half the living room furniture in with me, we’re having a log burner fitted. This is not to save the planet by not consuming as many fossil fuels but simply just as they’re nice, produce massive amounts of heat and cheap to run when you get logs for free. Pissed off with paying a fortune for gas so hopefully this will help and should pay for it’s self within a year or so. Just a mess and pain while it’s going on but they’re cracking on well and making a great job.
Hmm! Not made an entry for months now not that anyone would have noticed maybe I should change my name to Steven Fry as the world seems to watching his every move on Twitter. Twitter being the latest obsessive website for people with dull lives, even worse than facebook as it can be uopdated with ease and quickly. Why the fuck would anyone want to know what someone they don’t know is up to every 10 mins, “oooh look he’s having a dump”.
Then again suppose it not much different then me rambling on here but I have the bonus of no one visits my website.
So I’ve been wasting many an evening playing the fantastic Zombie game Left 4 Dead.Created by the geniuses Valve set around modern day after a mysterious virus outbreaks causing the dead to rise yes like many a film but it’s played as if it’s a film, it follows a group of 4 survivors who you guessed it have been Left 4 Dead. Working through various stages of maps to reach safe points they have to fight their way through hordes of fast moving zombies, at the same time there also what is known as special infected. These are mutated zombies with various abilities to slow down and kill the survivors, made up of a Hunter, Smoker, Boomer and an occasional Tank. The Hunter can pounce huge distances pinning the survivors to the floor ripping their flesh way, Smoker has a huge tongue that acts like a whip pulling the survivors towards him so can either strangle them or pull them in close to punch to death, Boomer is a mega fat dude who is slow and weak but pukes on them can attract a horde of zombies, shoot him too close he explodes and attracts the horde too. Finally the Tank is a random spawn a bit like The Thing from Fantastic 4 he is very strong knocking the survviors to the floor or even smashing object at them like cars or forklifts.
Anyway well worth playing especially on Versus mode where 4 player play survivors and 4 players play the special infected it’s available on 360 and PC with some down load content due soon as well as SDK for the PC it stands to be a long lasting game.
Braaaaaaaaaaaiins!!!!
Doubt anyone will have noticed but it’s back more pointless meanderings will appear or maybe not. Should have a proper gallery setup soon as now have much more bandwidth and storage.
