Well, couldn't get my hands on that Homeworld CD, so I stuck on Revenant. I'm quite impressed! It's a fun game. I don't know how long it will take me to finish this mission, but the combat engine is well done. Keeping track of all the hints and clues is a bit tedious though.
weirDo sent me a link to Lego Mindstorms. He also sent me "One F'ed up CTC (closed Timelike curve)":
(the following is from "Hyperspace - A Scientific Odyssey Through Parallel Universes, Time Warps, and the 10th Dimension")
... A baby girl is mysteriously dropped off at an orphanage in Cleveland in 1945. "Jane" grows up lonely and dejected, not knowing who her parents are, until one day in 1963 she is strangely attracted to a drifter. She falls in love with him. But just when things are finally looking up for Jane, a series of disasters strike. First, she becomes pregnant by the drifter, who then disappears. Second, during the complicated delivery, doctors find that they are forced to surgically convert "her" to a "him". Finally, a mysterious stranger kidnaps her baby from the delivery room.
Reeling from these disasters, rejected by society, scorned by fate, "he" becomes a drunkard and a drifter. Not only has Jane lost her parents and her lover, but now he has lost his only child as well. Years later, in 1970, he stumbles into a lonely bar, called Pop's Place, and spills out his pathetic story to an elderly bartender. The sympathetic bartender offers the drifter the chance to avenge the stranger who left her pregnant and abandoned, on the condition that he join the "timer travllers corps". Both of them enter into a time machine, and the bartender drops off the drifter in 1963. The drifter is strangely attracted to a young orphan woman, who subsequently becomes pregnant.
The bartender then goes forward 9 months, kidnaps the baby girl from the hospital, and drops off the baby in an orphanage back in 1945. Then the bartender drops off the thoroughly confused drifter in 1985, to enlist in the time travellers corps. The drifter eventually gets his life together, becomes a respected and elderly member of the time travellers corps, and then disguises himself as a bartender and has his most difficult mission: a date with destiny, meeting a certain drifter at Pop's Place in 1970.
The question is: Who is Jane's mother, father, grandfather, grandmother, son, daughter, granddaughter and grandson?
I'm glad I'm not Jane (ew).
Got some more things done, although I really want to get some of these pictures scanned. Hmm.. I think there's a scanner downstairs, although I don't think it's hooked up ATM. I can always go down to Engineering..
Well, I guess the scanner in ESC is still working seeing as I used it successfully. Got three pictures in, one of which is the competitive team from last term. I'll put them up once I get permission..
So it's Dusty's birthday today, we should all wish him a happy.. uh.. 25th? Well, we're planning on doing something tomorrow. Not sure what.
Time for me to go, I'm gonna reply to my e-mail tomorrow and finish unpacking tonight. Can't figure out what to eat though. It seems as if spaghetti may be it..
