Spare Time And How To Waste It!

I wanted to share with you, my (non-existent) audience, two things which seem to occupy an obscene amount of my time. The first is Day of Defeat: Source. I was heavily into the original Day of Defeat- the words obsession and compulsion have been bandied about by friends and relations- and I'm at home in this graphically updated version. I was just idly shooting Nazis until I discovered a server with which I could fall in love. That server is Fight for Freedom. Without a really good server to call home your time in any online game can easily turn into an endless cycle of bad maps, bad players and bad attitudes. It can take a long time to find a server worth playing at all. I prefer clean servers, that is, servers that do not tolerate foul language and abusive behavior. It may be a little stifling to check one's cursing but I find it to be worthwhile not to listen to ignorance and stupidity stricken adolescents and young adults (or as a man much better than I put it "the usual collection of mic-spamming pubbie retards"). I also believe that anyone unable to follow a clean language rule is generally undesirable to play with for a number of reasons, not the least of them being their habit of using some sort of gay porn spray.......I don't want to talk about it. I like everything about this server, the rules, the players, the admins. It's a great place to play. If you play this game I can't recommend this server highly enough. Just tell 'em dudekazoo sent ya!

Something else that seems to eat up entire nights is Homestar Runner and his Wiki. I keep finding unexpected daybreaks outside my window when I go to the Homestar Wiki. It's not just that I can find out every single thing there is to know about the Homestar Universe it's that I can watch all the cartoons I'm reading about by clicking the link at the bottom of each article. I read about the easter eggs, watch it, hit back and read the rest of the article. Then it's a quick click on any link in the page and I repeat the cycle. For hours. And hours. And no, I'm not proud of this fixation, but I am waiting for the Homestar Runner edition of Trivial Pursuit. Hooboy I will rule that game.
