It’s… hot… here…
There has been only a few days where the temperature wasn’t above 110. Along with that. There’s nothing to do inside my house, and going outside is definitely not a choice for obvious reasons. I can’t even drive. If I was able to, I couldn’t afford it anyways.
Now for the good news. I saved 15% on car insurance by switching to Geico. I got a tablet. I bought this one.
Summer is hot and boring. But it still beats going to school. I’m still making up for lost sleep from waking up early.
Ok. This ends the lamest monthly blog post.
Oh yeah. Did I mention the tablet is awesome?

NO MORE PHYSICS.
NO MORE HISTORY.
NO MORE ENGLISH.
NO MORE MATH.
YES! So in the end I managed to pass physics. I don’t have to bother with it for a long long time. Yay. I got a 106% on my math final. That math class was a joke. History and English were just uninteresting for the most part and I was glad to get it over with. As for CAD and drawing class… I’ll post stuff from that class later.

I HAS A WII.
…
No, you sickos. I have the game system from Nintendo.
I got SM Galaxy with it and plan on getting SSB for it later.

I don’t really have a solid plan on what I want to do during summer. I have a few things laid out though.
- Annihilation of Al-Qaeda (On Counter-Strike, duh)
- College search
- Summer Job (unless it’s all taken)
- Drawing
- Forum spamming
- Not cut my hair XD
I’m going to Yellowstone in like 2 days with my family. It’s gonna be a break from the heat of Arizona, the forecast says it’s gonna be really cold. I’m stuck up there for a week :/
Also, I hate the airport.
Well, I’m off to have some fun.
So yeah. I’m failing physics right now. 56% F. Yay.
I hate that class. The teacher doesn’t explain anything and I’ve gotten so confused to the point that I have no clue what questions I should ask! Then, on the tests there is FREAKING NEW MATERIAL. WHAT THE FUCK.
In other news I still have a 100% in my math class.
In CAD class I get to build a crane, a trebuchet, and a catapult. I draw the pieces up in AutoCAD, and then I burn it on the laser. That’s awesome. But then the whole thing smelled like a barbecue.
Now that’s school, only 26 days left until summer! (Not counting weekends)
I got Counter-Strike: Condition Zero from a friend. Deleted Scenes is fun, but insanely unrealistic. Most of the time you’re alone to face off against 50 gazillion terrorists. WHERE’S MY TEAM?!??!
“Sorry, were out getting shot by machine guns because our AI fails.”
Anyways it’s still fun. I get to shoot snipers in the head with my M4 real far away and then I got to AWP out a fighter jet. A FIGHTER JET! WOOT.
So yeah. I haven’t got much time to draw because of school homework, but I can guarantee that CH.2 will be out before school’s out for the summer.

To be honest, I’ve always failed at webdesign. Sure, anything I previously made would have been awesome in the Web 1.0 days. So last night I decided to end it all. After 5-some hours at the computer I finally got a decent-looking website all coded up… to find out that it doesn’t work in Microsoft Internet Exploder. Well, I got that fixed.

Always wanted a nice short little domain like those .com or .net guys, but don’t have the money or the will to have you site spammed by ads?
Well, HERE IS YOUR SOLUTION.
Step 1
Go to x10hosting and get your free web hosting. This place lets you install forums like phpBB3 and such and blogs like WordPress. In the ad-free package you get 300MB of space (Not much. Hint: use Photobucket for image space), 3 mySQL databases, and lots of other crap, see their site for information. Also, you need to sign up at their forums. You don’t necessarily need to post there, but you must visit at least once every two weeks or else your account is suspended, but it’s not THAT bad, in fact, their forum community is quite good. Ok. After you sign up, in two to ten days you’ll receive an email saying that your account is set up and you can access your cPanel. BOOKMARK YOUR CPANEL LINK. It’s usually something like this: yoursitename.x10hosting.com:2082. Save it.
Step 2
Put some content on your site! Jeez!
Step 3
Time to get your FREE DOMAIN. OMGWTFBBQ
Ok. Go to CO.CC and sign up. If you really don’t want to give out your address and crap, make it up, you can go back in settings and delete it later anyways.
Alright, you got your domain. You have two choices. Redirect and DNS nameserver.
Redirect is for noobs. This is what it does:
People type your URL, www.blah.co.cc, into their browser.
After a few seconds, the address bar shows “blah.x10hosting.com”
Ewwwww. Ugly.
DNS Nameserver is the way to go. If you did sign up at x10hosting (which I hope you did), then you need to put these two URLs into the namerserver boxes:
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com
Submit the form. Then it will say it will take 48 hours. It might, but it took 30 minutes for my domain to connect.
NOW. Go to your cPanel and click on “Parked Domains”. Put your newly-acquired domain in and wait. After a while it should work.
And the coolest thing about setting it up this way is that is functions like a real domain.
For example, if you have an /images folder, then a way to access it is blah.co.cc/images, instead of blah.x10hosting.com/images.
Now, your domain SHOULD work perfectly, if not, search the x10 forums. Also, you can access your cPanel through your new domain.

Yes. It’s finally here.
Ok, to be honest, this is like, 2 months late. I’ve been working on this since June, and until the middle of November, I’ve done nothing but let plot ideas mature in my mind. I started to actually draw on November the 15th. And for my planned release in December, it was WAY too late. Apparently, school, life, and Counter-Strike cut into the time I was actually able to draw this, and by the time it was December, I had two pages done. I originally intended to have 15 pages in chapter one, but it got too damn late I had to cut it in half. Now, chapter one is seven pages long, and now serves as a prologue to the story. It was not originally going to be a prologue. Despite the cut and the lateness, it is still EXTREMELY rushed, and it’s definately not the best art I can do. I’m sure by the time I start drawing, say, chapter 7, my drawing skills would have improved, and maybe, I can draw faster by then. But for now, enjoy chapter 1, and don’t expect chapter two for at least two months. Sorry for all the delays. I promise you that chapter two will be much, much, MUCH better.
Oh, and one more thing.
The characters, names, places, and other things in this “graphic-novel/manga/comic/whatever-you-call-it” are entirely fictional. Any similarities to any person, place, or thing in real life is COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL.

Original Topic (The images are larger)
Alright, I thought that I might share this with you (because two people on xfire really want it).
Ok. The AK-47, the most famous/infamous weapon in the world of guns, a very popular choice for real terrorists, and a popular choice for terrorists on Counter-Strike.
The AK-47 in CS:S is a VERY powerful weapon. 1 shot to the head, helmet or not, will kill. However, it has LOTS of recoil and spraying WILL NOT do anything. I’ve had countless noobs spray me with their AKs when startled. After I’ve killed them, I notice that my health is still at 100. Spraying the AK-47 does not do anything. A rule of thumb is to NEVER hold down the AK-47’s trigger. Instead, repeatedly click at a slower rate, like about half to a quarter second in between clicks.
Aiming with the AK.
At point-blank, you can hold down the trigger, this is the only exception, they’ll probably be dead by the third bullet.
The unlucky sucker at the other end of this gun won’t last very long…
Use the CENTER of crosshair at Point-Blank
Mid-Range
This is where it starts to get tricky. Aim with the top of your crosshair.
See how the bullethole is on the top line of crosshair.
Long-Range
Recoil plays a big factor here. Slow down if shooting constantly, and continually aim with top of crosshair.
Recoil made my AK-47 go up a bit.
Getting your headshots.
Meet Will, a random terrorist who decided to stay still and help out. (bot_zombie 1, make sure sv_cheats is 1)
Close range
No need to adjust. Just shoot if center of crosshair is on opponent.
Mid-Range to Long-Range
Position you crosshair accordingly. Aim with top crosshair line.
SHOOT!
Headshot!
With practice, you can do this much faster and while moving.

2008 feels like… 2007.
Anyway. I really don’t have much of any resolutions, except for not being on the computer so much, and getting Arkaan done (I’m almost there)
Happy NOOB Year.
The last noob I pwned in 2007.
Kevin IS a noob.

With finals coming up and lots to do (including spamming forums and killing Combine in Half-Life 2), I haven’t got the time to update my blog.
I’m still working on this:
And it’s taking me forever!
phpBB3 finally came out. It’s pwnsome.
Filed under: Life
Sorry about not updating my blog.
School is for the phail.
And I was too busy playing Half-Life 2 and Counter-Strike: Source also.
EDIT: Oh and also honor our veterans. They died blowing the brains out of commies, fascists, and terrorists.
