Lupin

Well another monster lan has been and gone and yet again I feel like shit from it.

Due to the new Harry potter book coming out attendance was down a little. But I think a fun time was had by all.

As normal Smacktard didn't work properly. The thing that shits me the most about that is that every time something different goes wrong. Just when you think you have it all sussed something happens to screw it up.

That aside I think this was one of the biggest prize pool we ever had.

Air buccaneers was a great game to play. You would swear from all the yelling we were doing that it was one of the most intense FPS's you have ever played.

All in all it was another great ML with a great team.

I think next till I'll sleep till ALL the work is done though.

quotes from Star Wars but with words placed by the word pants. Not sure how well it translates in Aus as pants have a different meaning in the UK (underwear)and is often used in the derogatory sense e.g. Commodores are pants!

1. A tremor in the pants. The last time I felt this was in the presence of my old master.
2. You are unwise to lower your pants.
3. We've got to be able to get some reading on those pants, up or down.

Even though my job is boring and sux balls twice a year its the most fun you can have. Destruction day!!!

Everything that I make has a destruction point, and it has to be tested. Thats where the fun begins.

Now some things arnt much of a challenge. Some parts just require putting in the press and applying force. Some more than others. But the most fun of all are the tow balls. Our tow balls have a 3500kg rating. This means that they have to withstand double that for 2 seconds to pass. That means that i get to apply at least 7000kg of pressure to the poor little tow ball. It normally takes around the 100000kg to get them to break. And when it happens you know about it.

So that was my night at work. Throwing things, smashing stuff with hammers, and generally breaking stuff.

Here are some replys for the emials you get when you are out.
