Hm this whole map doesn't work for me.. Almost all brushes are outside the world. I'm using the ZHLT V33 compilers by Vluzacn. Guess the newer compilers are more sensitive to tiny brushes etc..

Normally I would wait for a few months to hear what people think of it, but my current computer is owned by my university so for all I know they might be updating their systems and force me to change. Or they might not, until I get a computer that's actually mine I won't have a choice in the matter. And while the Windows 7 volume mixer is useful, it would be better if there was a way to change which programs use which outputs from the mixer. I've occasionally had problems in the past where a program will use the wrong output and it's not obvious how to change it. For example a program might sometimes play through the speakers instead of the headphones.

There's a style popular with a lot of import tuners called Drift-Stitching. Basically you drill holes in either side of the bumper, and then do a cross-hatch zip tie 'stich' job. It's a neat effect but it's out of place on a normal car.

Haha yeah. I actually suggested to my girlfriend that we should get 20" tires and lift the back a few inches to give the car a dragster look.
There's a LOT of Japanese cars in the USA; Toyota, Honda, Subaru are common. I used to drive all American cars (Chevrolet) but then I sat in a Volkswagen... I fell in love XD. I never had a new car though, and this one came right off the lot.

Yeah that isn't a bumper. The actual bumper is this one. The red thing is just a useless cover to match the rest of the car. I don't know what's wrong with bare bumpers...

Thanks Striker! That is actually a bumper cover. Beneath the plastic is a foam pad, and then the crumple zones. Everything beneath the cover is safety related. So in the BIG PICTURE, the crack in the cover is meaningless. However, I do agree that they are too fragile.

Car manufacturers put no logic in their bumpers. I don't understand how areas that are super exposed to accidental "bumps" (hence BUMPERS) are made out of cheap plastic that cracks at the lightest touch. I know design is important, but still...

Paint is slow and steady. Light coats, let dry a bit, more light coats. Thats really all there is to it. Also, if you're aiming the can in any direction other than horizontal, the fuller the better. They start to get inconsistent when you're running lower than 30% full.
I wonder how compatible is this with Counter Strike multi player. You could make water cubes that move around and you had to swim in them and avoid obstacles. Also, i know water can contain a ladder, so technically there could also be a moving ladder?

"I'm making damn sure I have my W7 installer on a pen drive ready to reinstall at a moment's notice." ^This.
I'll image my entire drive before upgrayedding, just-in-case I don't like it and/or W10 breaks anything.
That's good to hear about the multiple-monitor support doe.. Can't believe you never saw the audio mixer before PB, you must not be a big multitasker =)

That feature was pretty bugged up when I used 7, it would usually misalign with other devices and I didn't like that. To configure auto volume control you have to go into device properties. The best option is to set it to do nothing, because from my experience it muted other things more than it should too often.
With the new way audio works in Windows, you can rout any program to any audio hardware.

It also auto-detects when you're in a Skype call and lowers everything's volume to 50%. I think it's configurable somewhere, but I haven't had the need to change it yet.
Re-routing different programs to different hardware outputs sounds really interesting!

While this is only tangentially related, I recently discovered the audio mixer in Windows 7. It's very convenient to be able to mute or reduce the volume only in one specific program. I'd never used it before so it was a nice discovery

Shouldn't audio software be the one to do that? Usually its once you plugin an device it re-routes the sound automatically. It should not be able to know what is music and what is game audio on hardware level.
If your media player can select an different output than yes you can do that. But you wont be able to use the same output from your sound card (because logically with out an additional filter/splitter after the output you can not do that, and that's impossible to do with analogue signal).

Now then, add up the number correlated with each number alphabetically in the word "SPOON".

Oh, right, I'll fuck off now.
(Psst, hey, go to journal 1234.)
Oooh!
Hmm, journal 2015 has a Dr. fellow in it who seems annoying, and in 2015 an annoying Dr. fellow joined.
This journals give us insight into the future. That said, I can't fathom what next year holds.

Prepares to smash bumper.

Probably a good thing I'm not a handyman.
Anyway, are Japanese cars popular in US too? When I was in Cyprus almost everywhere I looked I saw Japanese cars, especially from the late 90'.

You sir are good at this craft.

I couldn't view all the pictures because they were loading reallly slow from Imgur fsr, but the finished product looks perfect!
I'll go through all the images later and see the whole process, although I don't think I'd have the courage to try it myself(especially the painting!)
So I saved about $800

AKA music through speakers, games through headset?
