Yet Another Evening Open Thread

by Alxala

Instead of continuing my comic that I made on a piece of paper a few month ago, I decided to create a new one using the Paint program and my mouse because my tablet wasn’t working for some reason, but it’ll be fixed eventually. So far I’ve got about one third of the project done, and I apologize for not putting one up from a couple years back. Oh, and I also apologize for not posting last couple days ago because I was too busy getting my work done like getting the last of the bark and pinecones in two separate buckets out of our backyard so that we can put down grass seed if the wind’s not too breezy.

Either way, once I fill in all the columns of what I’ve been thinking about on my comic project then I’ll come up with some good sentences of what people say from their call-outs.

But for now, I put together my old Borderlands 2 video footage and some nice text to create this ‘Please Wait’ screen picture that I made for Tomala on her latest live stream of that game:

Wednesday Evening Open Thread: Steam Summer Sale Edition

by Alxala

I’ve got nothing good to report on other than the Summer Sale is going on right now on Steam. My Dad and I should be able to get enough empty soda pop cans so that either tomorrow or the next day after we can deposit them and receive the money so that I can use that to buy some Steam games that fit me like a glove. 🙂

Open Thread, my friendly Slackers! Feel free to post comments on what Steam games you’d like to get while they’re still on sale.

Monday Evening Open Thread: Backyard Work Edition

by Alxala

Sorry for not posting yesterday, I’ve been too busy having a good time playing some community servers in TF2. Either way, today’s weather was really nice this evening. I decided to continue my yard work mission in our backyard with a red-handled screwdriver from our tool shed in the garage, and I used it to pull up a lot of unwanted weeds scattered in different locations from yesterday and today. Then I placed all the weeds into the compost pile used for gardening afterwards.

It sure was fun trying to pulling up weeds off the ground, especially crabgrass because those are really hard to get. Oh, and speaking of weeds, here’s a picture of another seeding dandelion that I found in our backyard next to the chain-like fence between our backyard and our neighbors’:

This seeding dandelion I found is two feet tall, and it has a lot of tiny parachute seeds that form a white good-sized puffball just like the previous one that I found almost three weeks ago:

Yep, I sure love those kind of weed flowers so much. 🙂

Some TF2 Achievement Hunting

by Alxala

Been playing around some more community servers in TF2 lately, and I managed to obtain four achievements from yesterday. This first one I’ve got is the one for smashing an enemy’s head with your guitar as Engineer just like in this screenshot:

I have defeated that Heavy by smashing his head with my acoustic guitar. 😛

This next achievement I have unlocked is the one for blowing up an enemy with the grenade taunt kill from the Equalizer as Soldier:

Not only did I get this achievement, I also unlocked another one somehow for killing an enemy with the Equalizer before I land or just after landing while rocket jumping.

And last but not least, the last achievement I’ve got is the one for providing an enemy player with a freeze cam of myself doffing my hat as Sniper, except I wasn’t wearing a hat. I had my blonde hair on instead:

So yeah, I’ve had a great time scoring those achievements in-game. 🙂

The City Dump Goats (My 1st YouTube Video of the Year)

by Alxala

YAAAAAYZ! I finally uploaded my first YouTube video of the year since it’s been a very long time. Last week my Dad and I went out to a local dump to throw away all our garbage, and I found two “recyclers” doing their jobs and minding their own business:
