Description

October 6th, 2017
Day 456

We're almost done packing up what's left of what we might've forgotten about for the new place. Naturally, they asked me if we'd left anything since I'd know about it. As always, there was no shortage of last-minute apologies, but I get how it is. After all, I'm part of "we" now, and that's got its challenges. So I finished cleaning the toilets, mopping the floors, wiping the windows, and stuffing some leftover things in packing boxes. I felt bad for not touching the computer today, but I'll make up for it next week and try cleaning faster.

Crabwalk was pretty fussy today (as Crabwalk usually is) and at this point I've given up trying to keep my keys away from her but I wasn't going to just let her have them for free. So I made her a deal: if she finalizes the list of hats that'll be going in, I let her play with my keys. Crabwalk took a nap instead. After her nap, I fed Crabwalk her bottle and washed her pacifier. Then she played with some hats. I'd like to think that means she's almost done sorting them out.  

Pete's been doing pretty well too. It seemed like yesterday that Pete was on the verge of passing away, but I made sure to start watering him each night before locking up. I also put him near a window so he can see the sunrise; I think he needs it more than any of us. When Crabwalk came into the picture, I think that's when I started caring about Pete more. He's more than qualified to be leading Project Jungle, and he always stands up straight now. I hope Pete has a place with us at the new location.

Ed's a different story, but that's always the case with Pete and Ed, like life and death. It's probably why they keep Ed in the closet. They brought him out for Halloween spirit, which I think is fair to Ed. Creative inspiration and all that, what better man than Ed? But I'm not sure how he's gonna come to the new place either. I haven't been to an airport in a while and I don't look forward to flying again (I get motion sick in the air), but I don't reckon the TSA will like opening his box up to find a bag of bones in some packing peanuts.

Crabwalk's getting fussy again, but I imagine she'll tucker out in the car before I drop her off. I'll let her play with my keys for being a hard worker. I'll give Pete some extra water too; leave his window blinds open all the way. I'll check in on Ed after this weekend before the Orange Box anniversary, but I don't reckon he needs much checking up on before I fly out. Otherwise I'll call Eric and let him know Ed's his problem. But we'll figure it out. We always do.  - - - - -

The Team Fortress 2 website posted an anniversary blog post, which is good to see on the anniversary day. According to the post, a TF2 update is arriving "very soon" which could mean any date at this point, but if I had to take a guess perhaps there will be a Scream Fortress this year. More than anything, I wonder if the Saxxy's are happening or not after past criticism - it would be nice to know about either way. Regardless, I imagine there's a lot of work for the janitor, the potted plant, the skeleton, and Team Crabwalk Rocketjump Fortress in the next upcoming weeks to months.

Loosely inspired by this artwork that also uses the same idea for inspiration. I wanted to see if I could make the baby model look like an actual baby.

There was a fantastic dress-up of the Janitor to make him look like Abraham Lincoln's Pyro from the TF2 comics. It's fun to customize models! I'm glad you like the appearances here.

This looks adorable!

So how did the janitor, potted plant, skeleton, and baby idea start? Is it an in-joke that that's all that's left of the team after the last writer left?

Kind of. I like to believe they're the extra recruits in this fictionalized version of a struggling but passionate staff team, save for maybe Crabwalk who I hear is head of staff in some legends.

This would have been an interesting SFM video about their adventures, heck it has a post-apocalyptic feel. Well, there is the Janitor video, but not as a part of the game management staff. The stache looks better on him.

The pacifier can be found here and was made for MLP, though it will need rescaling: Pound paci

It works out well! I used Olivia's head with her ComicFace slider all the way up, then added the cap and the baby body as well as a bib and a pacifier. I think the pacifier really makes it!
