Sorry for the lack of my personal touch posts… i have been busy working on things that will come to light soon hopefully. I hope mattatobin’s RSS Digest posts have kept ya reading.  Here are the things that have happened in the last while:

• Planned site redo – Local server copy done ready for transfer
• Bully: Scholarship Edition (PC) Videos – 2 out of 21 uploaded to youtube
• Broken Macbook – Sent in for repair… waiting for status
• Wasted time – MANY hours in the last 2-3 days spent trying to get onto the GMod Tower server (always packed)

Anyway that is what has been keepin me busy… here is a sneak peak at the planned site redo

Tags: Blog, GMod, Macbook, Site, tower, Update

While on my GMOD server I decided to make a building completly out of explosive barrels. This task was made easy via the Stacker addon (The wood material was a last minute touch)
