Over the past year, I've been trying to get more involved on issues that I'm interested in. I'd like to give a brief description of a few tek things going on in Canada that you, yes YOU*, should be aware of and perhaps do something about.

Blender 3D
For those who know me, I'm a pretty curious guy. I think it's a good trait to have. I always like trying new things. For example, I've always been interested in 3D graphic design, like you seen in Pixar movies. So I decided to learn the basics of 3D modeling.

LEET After Action Report - April 25th
The second bi-annual Liverpool Electronic Entertainment Tournament was a success. I had to change the game from Modern Warfare 2 to Halo 3 because MW2 does not support 4 player split screen. I am not impressed with you, Infinity Ward! Halo 3 team deathmatch was fun, and we hooked all the consoles together to play a 13 player infection game and a 13 player free for all in the smallest map possible. It was quite a sight seeing 13 players slaughter each other. Team (I need to get their name, I forgot :S ) won the tournament, taking home $90 between the 3 of them.
We also raised $95 for Child's Play, so that's pretty awesome too! I've been speaking with the Privateer Days organizers and there will be a LEET during that festival!! WOOT WOOT! This is a great opportunity to get the word out about LEET by providing a youth centric event for a large festival. We'll be playing free for all Goldeneye and 2v2 Super Smash Brothers. Head over to the LEET site at http://sites.google.com/site/liverpooleet/ for more info.

Steam on the Mac: Strength Through Unity
Once upon a time, years ago ('96 to be precise), a video game development company called Valve was founded. They released their first game, called Half-Life, in '98. This game was a smash hit, winning numerous awards and selling many copies. They continued on making games; Team Fortress 2, Counter Strike, Portal and Left 4 Dead and a sequel to Half Life. Along the way, however, they became more than a video game developer, they became a distributor as well. They created a digital distribution software called Steam, and it is the deux ex machina that will save PC gaming.
