Exhibit 1:
GMod on my laptop is starting to give up on me. Whenever I try to generate the spawn icons for the PC tuning mod for different pictures and it crashes out on me. It doesn't seem to matter what map I'm on it doesn't load properly. It's really annoying.
Exhibit 2:
GMod on my PC doesn't seem to like cs_office much so whenever I load it there are the redundant black and purple shadings on the wall which REALLY shouldn't be there, it's just wrong.
Exhibit 3:
I WANT AIRSOFT. If that wasn't clear enough, let me clear it up.
I
WANT
AIRSOFT!
WANT
AIRSOFT!
For the un-initiated, airsoft is a game, some say sport but really it's just a hobby, and it uses toy "guns" and fire plastic BB's at 1 joule energy max which is the legal limit in this country. Once you hit some one with a BB, depending on the rules, you either call "hit" and what number hit it is and at 3 hits you're out, or the other type you go out on the first hit and after a few minutes in the regen area you go back into the game. The rules are simple enough but it requires everyone to have a decent level of honesty and a basic level of intelligence to not shoot team mates, which is more than I can say for most computer-game AI.
The "devices" as they are called, are almost perfect replicas of real world guns on an aesthetic standpoint but differ majorly in the internal mechanics. Instead of using a hammer to ignite the gunpowder inside the bullet casing, but airsoft guns use air or gas pressure to move the BB out of the barrel. There are 3 different types of airsoft gun. Spring, which requires the user to pull the spring back after each shot, being cheap and fits perfectly with shotguns and snipers. AEG, Automatic Electric Gun, which uses a motor for auto or burst fire in machine guns and some contain a Blow-Back feature to simulate recoil. GBB or Gass Blow Back uses Green Gas, Propane or other gas to propel the BB and move the slide on what most GBB are, which are pistols.

Now some of you may think "These look too real to be legal", or "They could kill someone/take an eye out". Let me talk directly for a moment, I understand people's worries about this hobby, criminals could use them to rob shops etc. But the fact is is that airsoft doesn't cause gun crime. Guns are already here! Come one, come all to the Irish black market! Buy an Uzi and get a pistol free! Airsoft, actually, makes it safer. True, you'll be scared shitless when a gun is pointed at you but would you rather a real gun which will blow the bollocks out of you or an airsoft gun that can't even take an eye out. You may say that there's no difference it still looks like a gun but it's just safer.
Now back to the main point: Airsoft is a hobby for ages about 14+, and no I'm not saying that BECAUSE I'm 14 smartass I'm saying that because the closest site has a minimum age of 14. It's a bit of fun and the guns and accessories look cool and would be good experience looking at the motors to see how they work. It is also good exercise and very stress-relieving when you're shooting at what you imagine as communists with an M60 Rambo style
So that brings me to the end of my Airsoft rant, and how much I want it, and how I can't make any GMod pictures for the time being. I'll update when I can and show some pictures I've managed to make. So look forward to some cool RE4 pictures.
