Oh fie, another 'improvement' by the google-youtube hybrid (yougle? gootube?). Every change increases my irritation with them.

Dwarf Fortress: Strike the earth, the earth strikes back.

I'm certain that L4D uses a completely different form of enemy behavior. There's no easy way to get the infected in. You could probably get a 'running zombie' mod, though. TF2 weapons mods exist too, I remember using them at one point...

Oh dear, I've got a long list. Mostly anxiety-related.

- I seem to have phobophobia. For instance, I can't watch horror movies because I'm afraid that I'll be frightened, but if I do, I'm actually rarely startled more than anyone else.

- I have a really good memory, am very anxious, terribly obsessive, and tend to think fatalistically. Thus, I often think of horrible, worst-case-scenario results to mundane things, and can't manage to forget about them for long periods of time.

- On a related note, I often have irrational fears that, while in the midst of them, I realise that they're ridiculous and have a (usually silent) argument with myself between my rational side and my somewhat crazy side. The latter usually wins until after the fact.

- I absolutely HATE touching anything that's not a smooth surface. If I do, I can't stop feeling it, even several minutes afterward, until I go wash my hands for an extended period of time.

- I tend to absentmindedly multitask and get little done with anything sometimes. For instance, I was recently browsing these forums, playing Garry's Mod and DF, writing a text adventure in C++, and performing maintenance on my other computer at the same time.

- If I'm reading, I'll occasionally try to remember what was said a page or so earlier. I absolutely must know (and memorize) exactly what was written there, and I go back several times to check. It's rarely relevant either, just a sentence or phrase, never a whole concept.

I have most of my coworkers' network passwords and I read their emails.

I'd really like to do this. So many people at my school seem to have really obvious passwords. I've been contemplating writing a program that would login to the webmail, get addresses, and plug them in with the passwords 12345 and password. It would then access each account that accepted either of those passwords and send out an email to everyone else with the heading "I should change my password to something less obvious". Think of it as a... public service.

Mint's basically Ubuntu for most purposes. On the other hand, now it doesn't work at all after the first time. Just connecting indefinitely.

Finally got SS to build correctly on Mint, but it causes DF to be extremely slow, and the visualizer itself is rather laggy. I can hear the sound stuttering too. Is anyone else having that problem?

Unintentionally increase his soapmaking skill until it was greater than any of his others, and subsequently be devoured.

WWUD if he got a strange mood and constructed a large hadron collider?
