Hey, everybody! Just want to say that today is the fist (un)Official "Cake is a Lie" Day!

... in other words, it's that one day every year where I just feel older and older.

In other news, some time ago Faith and Zack visited. I meant to write this big journal entry about it, but it got accidentally deleted, and procrastination prevented me from rewriting it. You can pretty much find the full story in their own journal entries, but here's basically what happened in a nutshell.

Faith and Zack came over. We played Portal and glowered over the Turrets, Weighted Companion Cube, and neurotoxins. Then, we went on YouTube, watched some random videos, went to Albino Blacksheep.com, wasted a half hour of our lives watching the Demented Cartoon Movie (but, oh man, it was worth the half hour!), went back on YouTube, watched more random videos... then we finally left the house to go to the city. Once there, we went to some art supplies store, ate dinner, then we all went home.

Oh, and one more thing: In Soviet Russia, you do not Shoop da Whoop, da Whoop Shoops YOU!

And I think I know how to write in italics now!

Does this work for bold too?

Maybe underline...

So, back on track... I, along with three other people, won the "Design a Brickster Bot" contest that my friend Tacku was hosting for his fan-made game "LEGO Island 3", which so far seems like an unbelievably EPIC sequel to the first-ever LEGO videogame series. The Brickspider Bot now appears in the game as a Brickster Bot Spider, and the Horde Leader (which I never got around to uploading here...) was adapted into the Giant Brickster Bot Spider. This was really awesome to me, so I made a short Flash animation about it.

Just two days ago, it was Easter, and I got the Orange Box. In case you don't know, the Orange Box is a collection of first-person shooter games made by the same company that made Portal. In fact, Portal is one of the games included here. So, I've now got two copies of Portal... Zack, if you want one of them, I would suggest you tell me, because I can arrange it!

The other games included are Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2 Episode 1, Half-Life 2 Episode 2, and Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress 2, I know absolutely nothing about, and I think it's rated "M" for violence, so I'm not that eager to play it just yet. The Half-Life games, on the other hand, tie into Portal, and don't seem that much more violent than Portal to tell the truth. Remember the line from "Still Alive" that goes "Maybe you'll find someone else to help you./Maybe Black Mesa?/THAT WAS A JOKE. FAT CHANCE."? Well, Half-Life is pretty much about Black Mesa, so I get the impression that Aperture Science and Black Mesa are rival companies... Hmm... I wonder if there is a Portal/Half-Life crossover somewhere...?

Now, if you'd excuse me, I've got to find that cake... assuming it's not a lie. Oh, here it is! Mmm... it tastes good -

This is the last known document from PeabodySam. Investigations showed that he died from a deadly neurotoxin. Further investigations showed that the cake was full of a deadly neurotoxin. Even further investigations showed that the cake was full of fish, fish-shaped crackers, fish-shaped dirt, fish-shaped fish, fish-shaped solid waste, rhubarbs, rhubarb-shaped fish, flaming rhubarbs...
