That's super dodgy, man. There's plenty of companies that sell good server hosting. You don't even know which company this is with - why would you buy a server in-game?!
Is he telling you to pay him or are you paying the hosting company directly?

I dunno... D0G is with Kleiner, sure, but do you not think he'll fight on Alyx's side when the time comes? I mean she's still loyal to Gordon, so I doubt you'll actually fight D0G. Might be mistaken, though.

The emotion was pretty incredible in that scene, Urby. It's obvious that Kleiner was still blaming himself for Eli's death which contributed heavily to his decision. The fact that his morality core was removed also factors into it, of course.

To see a cat in your dream symbolizes an independent spirit, feminine sexuality, creativity, and power. It also represents misfortune and bad luck. To see a fox in your dream represents insight, cleverness, cunningness and resourcefulness.
Basically the first appearance of the cat at the door represents your worry that your sexuality and/or independence is going to be locked out when you get married. An attempt to let it back in will result in it being multiplied my a great amount (see: 12), but this will seem natural to you. However, you worry that this bloated sexuality/independence will upset your fiancé (now wife) and will result in said sexuality/independence being torn to shreds. The fact that your cat is named after a drunk Scotsman throws confusing messages into this scenario, however.
Also all dreams actually mean you feel stressed at work so everything I just typed is meaningless.

Gunna be honest, we both uninstalled the Crysis 2 demo pretty shortly after making that video, and neither of us intend to buy it, or at least not until it's under a tenner.
Multiplayer is as generic as it gets. Literally exactly the same as recent CoD games with that constant reward bullshit. Singleplayer looks unlikely to be much better based on gameplay vids.
I'd hold off until it's cheaper if I was you, bruv.

Trust it to be a Scottish university to conduct such obscure, pointless research. Trust it to be Transylvania to have such mad birds in the first place.

I think what Dimbark is trying to say is that a map should have some sort of background and sense of place, but he's being a twat about it. Also how the hell did he rate twice?

Why is the sky a red-rock desert? Why is there no detailing at all? What makes this map unique in any way? Why does this have 'Aztec' in the name?
helpful hint: Don't release maps which only took 20 mins to make. If you can literally count the number of brushes in the screenshot - it's not finished.

Exams are what is wrong with the education system.
I'm a competent writer, and I can analyse texts reasonably well. I got a solid 'A' in my HN English prelim (mock exam) then 2 months later I got a C in the actual exam because the question was a total curve ball. Don't want to blow my own trumpet, but I'm not a bloody C student, and it pisses me the hell off that I couldn't appeal my grade considering my prelim score.
And when I was in high school, half the classes seemed to be more about teaching you how to pass the exam, rather than actual useful knowledge in the subject.
It's nonsense. All I can say is thank fuck I'm in college now and almost all my assessments are practical, not theory.

"When pushed to it's limits the Goldsource engine can be pretty amazing for how old it is."
No, it can't. Sorry. Honestly, I've been taking it to its limit a lot lately and all I can think about when I hit that brick wall of having to sacrifice detailing in order to ensure a map runs is "God damn this would be easier in Source."
That said, for the most part I've enjoyed going back to Goldsource. Its simplistic charm does make it fun to develop content for... Right up until you hit that limit.

That's awesome, satchmo
Speaking of Alyx, is that new hair sexy or what?
Also, am I mistaken or do the vorts have new voice actors as well? They sound weird.
That's almost half the price of games like Black Ops, which didn't have nearly as much love put into them.
Valve could quite easily have charged £20 more for portal 2 and people would have bought it.

Bottom Line
It might just be the nostalgia talking, but this map has just fallen short in my view.+rep
(to be added when a rep system is maybe introduced)
The problem is people who never out-grow it.

oh wait, it seems to be in a playable beta 5!

And this is a modding website, so thoughts regarding mods should be a bonus.
