Photos should be uploaded and processed now to the gallery, a fantastic job by my partner-in-crime Jasbutts for processing and organizing through them as well as doing splendid work, I really like the shots this year. A big shoutout to Moof for lending us her gear such as another body and lenses for usage during this LAN, they helped out a ton and really saved our budget, thanks a million!

That means I can finally grab the best photo I took at this LAN and make this:

Come Monday I am running a fever and the nearest pharmacy is right near the building it is just 6 lanes of LA traffic ahead and my everything hurts and later during the week which was supposed to be vacation week there are chills and violent coughing and mass dehydration and phlegm is everywhere who the fuck did this I want names

That makes a total of over $12,600 prize pool right now, including the Matcherino's raised funds.

When ShaDowBurn Is In (OMG!)

The door slams open and Gemm runs in, disheveled and frantic. The pen behind his ear falls off as he nearly slips on a sheet of paper, lying on the ground of the dark office. He regains his balance as he lunges for the computer chair of where editor Hudsyn sits. He barely misses Uberchain standing to the side with a mug of hot chocolate in her hand, who Concor stands to the opposite side of with his arms folded. "It's here, I have it..." Gemm breathes, swiftly holding up his notepad, but Hudsyn shakes his head before he can finish.

"Gemm," Hudsyn says, his voice soft in sympathy; in defeat. He beckons to the computer monitor that him, Uberchain, and Concor face. "I'm sorry. The stars will not shine on us tonight. In fact, the stars have aligned in their favour." The atmosphere is grim as all three figures turn to look behind him, and the urgency on Gemm's face soon collapses. He sees what appears on the computer screen his fellow writers stare at.

There, on the forums of teamfortress.tv, is a thread that has marked their downfall. Titled: "SVIFT EU IS FuCKinG DEAD". Furthermore, it is apparent that the OP has gained his next nerd star from this post. Gemm's fingers go limp, and to the floor falls his notepad - a statement from SMVZI, underneath the title "SVIFT disbands for Season 29". It's happened again. The prioritizing of actual importance in regards to real lives have cost them time once more. In their heads, each writer already prepares their excuse as to why the article is belated.

However, a hand rests on Gemm's shoulder, squeezing it with as much reassurance and empathy as was possible within that moment. "It's good; take the LEGO piece so we can double up," Hudsyn says. He reaches down to pick up the notepad. "We'll finish this off. I won't let this discourage you as long as Tery is fighting for all of us." With that, all four of them turn towards a dimly-lit desk. A pencil scratches paper furiously. Tery continues to write without hesitation. The lamp on his deck flickers a little more brightly with each sentence finished, and the smell of vanilla wafts from a television nearby. And Gemm is inspired, because it reminds them all of better days.

Hi, I like pink. Broken cubemaps, I was told verifying your game cache should do it.
You pink-hating piece of shit.

After Dark and Awful Block had some really enjoyable stuff. Serious Sam 3, El Matador, Toy Story, Superman 64, Arabian Nights, Enviro-bear (EAT THE FISH), and LTTP randomizer were really fun due to the couch and/or the runners. LTTP last year was great because of Patty and Andy's banter and it was good to see Patty back for this segment.

I also tuned in a bit for the OOT/BOTW runs and IWBTB/IWRTR because I like those games, peeked at the blindfolded bosses of DS3, I'll probably watch a few more later this week.
