Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated…

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic, or get updates by email if you'd like.

…But that’s not to say I’m not dead. Mentally, at least. I’ve been sculpting my gleaming, pristine Carnegie Mellon University application (I’m applying for Computer Science and Computer Engineering), leading to much non-posting in the past month or so. So, so sorry about that. For anyone who reads my blog, I owe you for sticking around. Big time.

Alright, I feel like I owe it to you to get you caught up with what I’ve been doing recently.

Team Fortress 2

For one, Team Fortress 2 has a Halloween Event. They released a new map, “Mann Mansion,” in which presents containing masks appear periodically, and a “Horseless Headless Horsemann” shows up and rampages around the map for a bit. It’s a lot of fun. Collect all 9 masks and you can craft them into a super mask which lasts beyond November 7th (the end of the event). There’s a few more achievements that have been added. I have to say, I’ve had fun with it. It’s a good way to take a break from all the writing and editing for these essays.

Minecraft

Ohhh wow. I feel awful. I ranted and raved about Minecraft, and yet I haven’t tried out their new update. Notch, the guy who made the game, added “Hell.” That’s right. Dig down deep enough, or walk through a portal… and you wind up in hell. :D

Here’s all the great things he added in the update.

Also, I’m going to hack my Wii. More on that soon.

Cheers,
Salem.
