Spartan Assault isn’t available for mac :P. Though I’m not sure if that’s what you’re attempting to play it on. If you’re attempting to play it on a PC then I’ve got nothing.

Haven’t seen the forest, but I definitely want to get prop hunt. Pretty sure you need CSS and Garry’s Mod to play it though.

We are Canadian. Montréal here. I wanted the hags to win the Stanley Cup but they got beaten by New York. Aww.

Here is our tumblr where we post our drawings. http://erickyboo.tumblr.com/
Last ones are not as good though. Lots of concepts. The latest one is more to what I want the area to look like.

That’s supposed to be ground view of this planet.

Which is the planet here. Close to the center of the universe.

Unfortunately we aren’t too good with landscapes at the moment.

We think we feel better but we should sleep.

I think one of the requirements is windows xp or higher for Spartan assault.

Well thats probably why its not working… ughhh if I keep seeing games like this I want and can’t play due to only having apple products, I may consider buying a steam box whenever it comes out… anyone know?

Also CSS…?

Haven’t a clue when it comes out.

Also, CSS is Counter Strike Source. Garry’s Mod was started out as a mod for it if I recall correctly.

Do eggs???

what…

Got the materials for my summer students! Honestly, I hope the kids are entirely new and have never seen me before. Easier to make them behave if they’re fresh and you start out strict. Need to spend some time studying the materials tomorrow, and preparing some tests ahead of time so I’m not drowned in the work. Schedules are lovely and keeping ahead of them is even better!

Us painterly people should have a drawing party in Open Canvas sometime. Ahh, those were good times…sure can get crazy.

The disappointing part is how their coach(ny) is the old Vancouver one, and Vancouver’s new coach…
If new york wins…I blame their old gm…
Anyhow it’s habs not hags! XD
Nice to see a fellow Canadian, even though I’m in the other half of the country.

I’m Canadian.

Coming from a class that literally destroyed my teacher’s sanity, I hope that you get them to respect you and straighten them up. One thing though, kids like the fun, non strict teachers.

There is a massive difference between being “fun” and “letting the kids walk all over you thinking you’re just being a fun teacher”. I played that game since February. Not going to keep playing it. :] The teachers who have the most success are good at keeping their class in line, on time, and on top of their work through strict implementation of rules and consequences. How fun the implementation is, varies.

Here in Manitoba, we are expected to have snow over night… So messed up.
-_-

Edit: And yes, the weather here is cold for those that don’t like the cold. I love the cold, so it doesn’t matter, it’s just the fact that there is going to be snow. It was hailing earlier today…

Any Jim Gaffigan fans?

Well a snowball fight in the morning should wake you up.
