Mind of UPSLynx for the week of November 22nd

Bobby Miller 28 Nov, 2009 at 8:41pm ET Article published in Tech

OM NOM NOM Thanksgiving! After recovering from a food coma, I decided to venture out to accomplish some consumerism on Black Friday. It didn’t end well. But it did end well for the Desert Bus for Hope charity event, as over the course of six days, the Loading Ready Run crew were able to raise over $132,000 dollars for Child’s Play.

Left 4 Dead 2 is wonderful, and completely brutal. I talk a little bit about what I think is one of the most impressive parts to the new game—its gore.

Oh, and just in case you missed it, Icrontic has a new look.

28 Nov 2009 ~ 10:48pm branmyson Very nice! And you included a great clip from desertbus. So the question is... what are you going to do on cyber Monday, look around and then go home empty handed?
29 Nov 2009 ~ 12:17am Bandrik Regarding your reaction to the new site, I think that was the closest to a "squee" I've heard in real life so far. Congratulations, a winner is you.

...maybe.

Or not. Either way, awesome addition to Mind.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 1:20am Myrmidon Mario 2 soundbyte win!
29 Nov 2009 ~ 2:50am Koreish You would have won yourself a Simon Says if I was your secret santa. As always great video.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 12:40pm Ryder Awesome shirt

Cyber Monday is almost the same routine. I look around, say 'wow, what a great deal!' then I shy away from spending money (because I'm like that) and decide to keep saving, and leave without buying.

Koreish - I don't know if my brain could handle a return to that early 90's battleground. That stupid chalk enemy in the commercial gave me nightmares.

But it still wasn't as cool as doing battle in the pits of hell, as Crossfire showed us.

Ryder - I love that shirt. It is hard for me to find t-shirts that fit me well, and that one is one of the best fits ever.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 2:11pm lordbean I particularly like the screenshot of me carrying Gnomeski.

(We did actually finish it for the achievement - successfully rescued Gnomeski from the carnival)
29 Nov 2009 ~ 2:50pm ardichoke You mean Gnome Chomsky right lordbean?

I'm debating if I even want to try to get that accomplishment. I saved that bastard in Episode 2 and it was the death of me many times over. So freaking hard to get it to stay in the car.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 3:35pm lordbean I affectionately call him Gnomeski. I think I'm allowed, since I carried him.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 3:36pm Thrax What. I just got in b4ed on video. DICK.
29 Nov 2009 ~ 10:53pm UPSLynx THAT'S WHAT YOU GET.

welcome to my world.
30 Nov 2009 ~ 6:44pm FDS video needs more boulevard unfiltered wheat
1 Dec 2009 ~ 8:48am poofie i thought i was gonna be in this one. i swear you promised me when i drunk dialed you.

or maybe i remember wrong. i was drinking, after all.
1 Dec 2009 ~ 9:42am Annes No, he definitely promised. What a fail.
1 Dec 2009 ~ 11:58am UPSLynx I thought I promised you guys for the Nov 8th video?

and yes, I failed both times.

Maintaining a high level of disappointment.

This episode was not an easy deadline, and to be honest, I cut a lot of corners to get it out the door before the end of saturday.
2 Dec 2009 ~ 8:44am poofie rule 76.
