Hey all, I'm Myke.
That's about it. What? Did you expect my life story?
Too bad.
Now get out.

The floor is made of wet
I didn't even make a single post last week. It was strange for me. Was it strange for you too?
I can explain, these posts are usually generated after conversations between me and Balai, not many of these have taken place over the last week. This is because right now in England the tarmac has been removed from every single road, and replaced with several inches of ice. Fun.
It's getting better now, I can now leave my house without aid of a spade, but I do still live in constant fear of slipping and falling on my arse.
We haven't been able to talk much over the last week (Balai is notoriously difficult to get a hold of sometimes), work has continued though, Balai has been putting together some weapon models, one of our as of yet unintroduced cohorts - who is within safe walking distance, even with the presence of snow - has been passing me art assets at regular intervals, and I have been coding up some stuff, some stuff that if it works correctly you guys will never ever see. Currently that is the case, although you also cannot see anything else either. Horray for build errors!
Hell knows what the other two have been doing for the last week.
Speaking of other people, I blame the snow for the absence of introductory posts.

Some games
Some games are bought by me.
Some games are bought by Friends or family for me.
Some games are free online games.
Other games are bought for me by the US air force.
That's right people, you heard me right, the US air force sponsored a certain game (Area 51) and was released on the nets for free. Now those with good memory may say "hey that's a pretty old game, isn't it?".
Why yes it is but, it's free so who cares. There's a plethora of games that are old and free so why let them go to waste.
Actually there is a word for these kind of games Abandonware.
Anyways I've hada lot of fun playing Area 51 and now that it's free there's much less excuse to get it.
Also linky to said game here.

Confession Time
Unlike Business time, confession time doesn't have a specific type of socks associated with it, I'd like to hope that the sock pioneers of the world are working tirelessly to fix this cultural error.
I have to admit something to you, dear Internet, and it isn't all that pretty. You see, we have been writing as if we are a small operation of a paltry three mortals, when in fact this is, and has been for a while, a fabrication, a soft woolly fabrication sheared from the finest sheep of deceit, but it is still a lie regardless.
We are actually a small operation of a paltry five mortals. I know, this deception cannot simply be excused, but you must understand our intentions were pure, and it isn't as if these extra, thus far unidentified, interlopers were here from the beginning, they're relatively new additions - I swear! constantly.
I'm not sure what their blogger accounts are called yet, so I won't provide their handles in case they choose ones that go against their respective norm, but within the next week or so I should have managed to coerce them into making an introductory post each. After that they may post on a regular basis or do a Tetris, either way.

Buckminsterfullerawesome
Well. What to say?
So far this week has been pretty slow, although I did notice the good job on the logo appearing inconspicuously at the side there.
Hello Mr. logo how long have you been there and I haven't noticed I wonder?
I guess you can tell this has been a pretty slow week in development really, this is mainly because, me and Iced were rushing to do other slightly more deadlined things and in true Valve time it should be done shortly.
Although by that same standard it may feel like' Zombietopia' is coming soon.
Worry not though as this is untrue, work is slow but, progress is being made and as I speak I'm installing more software that I'm quite likely to un-install soon anyway (that is to say that the program is useless not that we'll suddenly stop work).
On the subject of Duke Nukem Forever though it would seem from my very reliable sources we may possibly could might get a glimpse of game play of DN:F this year. I'm excited for it personally.
Now mostly to keep up a tradition, there has been an update on Nvidia Geforce drivers be sure to check thems out.
Lastly I found out that Ultrahard is in fact a word, once again according to my most reliable sources.
Oh yes I can see that going places now...
Oh and before I post this, I just found out that if you type Nvidia into firefox's address bar it takes you straight to Nvidia's site. It's those kind of features that make me happy.
