I am z3rb of Borg.

So after quite a few hours playtime, I’ve finally completed Half-Life 2. It’s probably one of the best single-player games i’ve ever played, second only to Final Fantasy IX. HL2 was the first Source-based game I ever played (It was also the first ever released) and i’ve been really impressed by how amazing the engine is. Before getting HL2 the most advanced *cough* game i’d played was probably Wolfenstien ET (Based on Quake3, you get the idea :P) and I was used to the GoldSrc (Half-Life) engine, so moving to Source was a big leap forward for me and one i’m glad I took. Going from a world where you can shoot at things with very limited physics to a world where you can move object with a pretty state-of-the-art physics game engine has been great.

Now that I have completed HL2 I can get onto playing HL2:Episode One, a game with an even more advanced version of the source engine and some sexy High Dynamic Range lighting effects. Here’s a screenshot from HL2: Lost Coast that I took (Click for full-res):

In other news, i’ve added a page for Enablr, so unless it’s a major update don’t expect me to blog about it anymore.

I like games. FPSes, RTSes, Platformers, mostly anything, i’ll play it.

Recently i bought DEFCON from Introversion software; It’s pretty damn cool, with a certain feeling of the 1980’s film, Wargames (one of the coolest films, ever). It’s a unique RTS that uses some Ãœber sexy vector graphics. I’ll spare all the gory details, but if you look at their website, you’ll see how cool it is and hopefuly buy it.

Counter-Strike: Source is another game i’ve played alot of recently, mainly against bots on my Local server. As most of the people who i’ve played will confirm, I’m shit at CS:S :(. I’d love to blame my crappyness on my average 300M/s Ping (Like i said, 56k FTL), Shitty hardware and crappy mouse, But really it’s just that i suck.

If you’de like to play me at any games, My XFire Username is zpheerb.

The reason i’m posting right now is because I’m sitting in Graphics class and really can’t be arsed drawing yet another crappy table or some other such patronising crap in AutoSketch, So i blog instead.
