Are you insane? Vids now.I'd rather have an animal in the attic than people having buttsesk on the upper floors of my dorm with the windows open so I can hear them all the way down here.
:x
I think you know the solution, my friend.I'd rather have an animal in the attic than people having buttsesk on the upper floors of my dorm with the windows open so I can hear them all the way down here.

ZOMG.
Dwarf is back. D:
Lol, yeah. The bliink thing is in someone's sig, one of those bastards who has a quote and then links a post on every letter to confuse you. I went through them all one day to spite them. Hah! I showed them, potentially.I remember that thread lmao. Anyone can dig up bliinks story about Laidlaw using a updating gauss gun on your roof to update your games?
bliink said:clearly, this is directly related to steam updates.
here's how it works, I have inside info.
Do you know why steam was "slow to update" when hl2 was released?? Let me tell you, its because; STEAM DOES NOT ACTUALLY USE THE INTERNET!
Yes, thats right.
You know about santa claus, right? kris kringle? st. nick? well.. its kinda like that, except it goes like this:
Gabe newell has a flying version of the tram from hl1. Whenever someone wants to update steam, a little buzzer goes off in his office.
Its like the red phone in 60's batman when commissioner gordon rings batman.
Gabe knows that someone needs to update, so he grabs his update floppy disks and update gun, and jumps in his flying tram, speeding to the location.
There is a small decoy headcrab that is deployed to trees outside the house as a distraction device (although, regionalised versions may include: snarks, cumtoads, gnomes, dwarves, robots or mini-gmen).
Anyway, the thuds are Gabe walking around on your roof, with an x-ray beam, looking through the roof, trying to see your computer.
once he finds it, he loads an update floppy disk into his update gun.
The update gun turns the disk into a special kind of energy, and shoots it directly onto your hard disk platter. (similar to what the gauss gun does.. in fact, this was the inspiration for it.)
There is a heavy recoil on this gun... too heavy for gabe in fact, and he does a small "rocket jump" each time he fires a disk. there are more thumps and thuds resulting for this.
AAAnyway, once the Gaben finishes updating your steam, he gets on the train, and zaps off (through a gman type portal- more HL inspiring material btw) to the next person requesting an update.
You may be able to hear the PA system from the train if you listen REAL carefully. Gabe is wearing a reflective suit, so its hard to see him, but he wears a special helmet, and the gun has a blinking light.
If you want him to use High-Density floppy disks, speeding your update, then leave a small plate of donuts and a glass of milk for gabe.
True story.
