I've spoken to my accountant (who may be a hallucination) and it seems there is totally room in the budget for a game server. Hosting from home is currently not an option due to my connection being COMPLETELY FUCKING UNSTABLE THANKS FOR NOTHING COMCAST. There are 3 games I play enough to justify my own server: Minecraft, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead. Out of those 3, which should we get first?

Keep in mind, eventually I want to host all 3 of those games. This is a simple poll to gauge people's interest.

Screenshots there unless they get taken down, although they're all over the usual places now. Stunningly, it actually looks like they gave the graphics department a good budget to work with this time. Still entirely possible the game will blow chunks, of course!

I leave you with a single tidbit of idle speculation: not only does that planetoid look very familiar, so does the outline of the structure being built around it...

On January 18, several websites around the internet will be organizing a blackout in protest of SOPA/PIPA. What are these acronyms that you somehow don't know about? Basically two bills in Congress which will give the government power to censor the web. If you live in America and are old enough to vote, write/call your reps demanding they oppose this bill. Remember which ones support it come election day. Don't know who your rep is? Go here:

PROTIP: Letters sent via mail and phone calls have way more impact on politicians than email/online petitions.

Live outside America, the Greatest Nation on Earth™? Don't get too comfortable. This could affect you as well! Contact your respective governments through whatever channels available to you and let them know you oppose this censorship of the web!
