Team Fortress 2

Yo sup ya'll.
Unfortunately, not like anyone cares, but I won't be talking about manga this time. I'm just unmotivated right now lol.But I'll be talking about something else. This time I'll be talking about one of the games that I currently play, Team Fortress 2. It's a game for Xbox 360 and for the PC too (a Mac version came out recently so if you own a Mac and you want to play this game, then you certainly can now!)

If you do not know about this game, but you want to check it out, here's the link.

http://www.teamfortress.com/

Basically it's a online multiplayer FPS game.
FPS stands for "first person shooter" if you did not know that.
And if you're wondering, this ain't a free game IF you want to play with online people...there are always free versions but I'm not sure if you can play online with them...my friend has one but I don't recall him saying anything like being able to play with people online. Anyways..

Just like any other FPS games, you just go around, shoot/kill people. But this game has things called "achievements" which probably is the reason why people still continue to play this game. You earn these achievements by ...well achieving a certain objective...lol.
The more achievements you have, the more items you can unlock to make yourself more powerful (with powerful weapons) and etc...too lazy to explain it throughly. Go try the game out yourself...lol.
There's basically 9 classes you can choose from to play with. They are...

Scout
Soldier
Pyro
Demoman
Heavy
Engineer
Medic
Sniper
Spy

The Scout, Soldier, and Pyro are the offense-based classes,
Demoman, Heavy and Engineer are the defense-based classes,
while the Medic, Sniper and Spy are the support-based classes.

Personally I prefer being a Medic or Sniper because I don't have to carry the offensive load and I prefer helping people out..but yeah anyways, check this game out, it's pretty fun.
When I don't play Pokemon, I play this and once I start the game up, I tend to not quit the game till like 3 am in the morning! LOL

Well that's the end of this session. Peace.

BIG BANG!!!

How to install Photoshop Elements 6 (Easy)

Alright, this is honestly fool proof. Just follow the instructions, and you'll be on your way to getting Photoshop Elements 6.

Photoshop Elements 6

DOWNLOAD & INSTALL

Again, no files are hosted on here. It's part of my collection. I own the original program. So this is perfectly ok. It's hosted on megaupload.

Follow the instructions, and if you don't understand, you can ask me on MSN.

1) Download the file here!

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UP97A1JG

It is about 450.9 MB. It should take around from 1 hour to half an hour depending on your speed.

2) After you have downloaded the file, extract it onto your desktop. Inside the extracted folder contains only 2 files. One is the serial which came along with my package, and the other is the setup.exe.

3) Run the exe, following the installation instructions.

4) After you have installed it, it will ask you to restart (Not sure if it will, cause I installed this yesterday to make sure, so I can't remember off the top of my head.) or ask you to run it.

5) Restart if it asks you to, but don't if your computer is slow and takes a long time to reboot.

6) Run the program. It will ask you to enter a serial number which came with the product. Go to the extracted folder once again, and grab the serial number.

7) Paste, and the program will validate. Once confirmed, your all set.

Sports TV Stream

Is there ever a time when you wish to watch your favourite sports game, but you can't find it on any of your channels?? Well for all those who want to catch all the daily games, check out this site: It has Soccer, NBA, and College basketball for those who are interested.

Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres

Spanish for 1, 2 and 3.

That's it for now.

Pokemon blog 1

Yo, sup. I'm the other "dude" who does the blogging on this site. You'll usually see me doing some Pokemon stuff and whatnot. So yeah whatever.
I'm bored of studying for flippin Calculus, so yeah.
If you actually play Pokemon then cool, cause you should know by now that Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver came out last Sunday (for North America)!!! They're remakes of the famous Pokemon Gold/Silver series. Anyways I found some pretty weird things while playing this game...hope you get the joke(s) if not, then whatever.
There is this trainer couple on Route 47 I believe, right between the Safari Zone and Cianwood City/Town WHATEVER. They battle with the Pokemon Onix and Cloyster...

Yeah. No comment on that.

Another one is when you are facing Jasmine (6th gym leader located in Olivine City, ohhh she's so adorable LOL). She uses a Steelix and 2 Magnemites...see for yourself.
So 2 of these magnet type dudes and 1 ...whatever-you-want-to-call-it
LOL
And one last thing...when you are at the Underground in Goldenrod City, you face your rival...(eugh he's such a douche.) Anyways, sometime during your battle, I believe it's when he is down to 1 last Pokemon, he says:

Why so serious?

HUH. You kidding me? You ain't the joker ! I basically stopped at that moment and "lol"ed. But yeah... hm.. I'm not that far into the game, unlike some people who actually HAD spring break/march break or whatever, I still have flippin lectures to attend. But yeah...

These things I would not really have noticed if it weren't for the GameFAQs Pokemon HeartGold forums... I'm too lazy to find the thread because there are too many to search through to find this particular thread...

If you did not get the game yet, it's $39.99 INCLUDING THE POKEWALKER. And if you're wondering...Yes I do carry that Pokeball (POKEWALKER) around with me on campus. :D
MULTI-TASKING FTW!

Peace out.~

Starcraft 2 Beta Installation

How to Install Starcraft 2 Beta?

This is a step by step tutorial on how to setup/install/download Starcraft 2 Beta. You don't need a beta key for this, and it's pretty simple to do! But listen up carefully, so you get it right the first time!

First thing's first, You'll be the game client. If you don't have it download it here:

Megaupload
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BZZAAXPN SCII.part1.rar

It's about a 1GB, so depending on your speed it'll vary as to how long it should take to download.

Once you download both files, you'll need Winrar to extract the files. Get a trial of Winrar here.

Open the folder after you have extracted it. Install the game labelled SC2 Beta. Let the game update itself after you have installed it.

After you have installed it, go to the folder that you installed the game in. You'll now need to install the AI package in order to play vs the AI.

Download the AI script here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mvdktjwodyq

Open the AI folder, and copy the icon that's included in the mods>sc2 liberty mod folder.

Go to the folder that you have SC2 Installed and under the same folder name that you got the AI, copy and replace the existing one on your computer.

Once done, you'll need the lazy launcher which can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mon3ntwhit2

Your almost done, extract the lazy launch application with Winrar.

Last step! You will finally need some Starcraft 2 Maps! You can google these (Just type in SC 2 Maps) or go here http://sc2.nibbits.com/maps/ for maps.

How to Play the Game

1) Open Lazy Launcher

2) Choose a map that you have downloaded from the above site or any other website that has SCII Maps.

3) You should get a loading screen, after you have done this!

4) Enjoy!

Note: Some maps might not work! It does not mean you did anything wrong, it is just that the map is somehow messed up.
