C Striker, I was 9 when I joined TWHL haha
Nah I know everybody had their idiotic 12 year old "hurdur" years on the internet, it's just funny to look back on them and think "jesus was I really that bad?".
Looks to me you weren't that bad. The fact is that a lot of people joined this site in their early teen years. I also was on other forums and I grew up with some of them immediately after my first connection to the internet. But I adapted and learned to communicate.

TWHL: A finishing school for arseholes
We all have our regrets regarding our early, multiple shitposts to online communities; don't let anyone tell you differently
This is why we should all give new users some slack learning the way of things, though I know it can be tough(and painful) remembering we were the same way once.

Congratumalations! I gave it a quick look over, I'll probably log onto the server on the weekend and have a go.
I agree with Kachito about the colours at CT spawn, but I quite liked the T spawn area. Something about it really reminded me of the underground areas in Gears of War 2. I personally didn't like the xen textures in some of the places, but they did fit it. They just seemed a little too stretched out imho, although that impression may have had just as much to do with the texture choice as it does the scale. Overall I quite liked it though. Also I will leave it until I get a chance to playtest before rating it.

So this is what Xen would look like if it were a DE_ map? I like the middle section the most; would probably be fun to have a few deathmatch rounds in there. Though, i don't get the section where the drilling machine is at: too much color for my taste - green, blue, orange, red and all the mixing between those + light spots from crystals. Can't say i've noticed high poly count anywhere, unless 3-4k is still considered high nowadays in the cs community.

Had my good old SSD laying around with 7 on it, since it was from an old machine it didn't work on this one and i thought its time to see if 8 is usable. My laptop still needs a SSD treatment so that will get 8 too someday.
@Stojke: Linux Mint is in my sights too, ive been playing around with Elementary OS Luna for some time and also found it nice to use.

Windows 8.1 does not need any changes, its perfectly usable the way it is. If you want nostalgia get a retro box and install xp and derp in it as much you like.
Than again, ever since I downgraded to a laptop computer I have been using Linux Mint. So far so good.

The thing I'm most curios about in Windows 10 is the secondary approach at installing software, namely a package manager. This is obviously Linux inspired and should remove a lot of hassle.
Also I've heard that with the new DirectX12 which will be shipped with Win10, you will be able to do the equivalent of SLI/Crossfire, but with different generations(possibly different vendors?) GPUs. That is... awesome.

The thing with the colors is the way you choose them. I want a simple RGBA slider not some hue, saturation thing. I only liked dark colors in 7, but they look terrible here, you cant even see the window title if you go black.
Start menu is essential for me, its 1 Click, Type, Enter access to everything i need, classicshell is good for that, just the default W8 search that is bound to that field will take some getting used to.
I have doubts about W10, they are changing a lot of things which will probably make it a flop. I know you have to improve in some way or the other, but 7/10 people just want the same thing just newer (W7 interface on W8 kernel)
I hope one day i will be able to make the step to Linux and be done with M$.

I always thought the Start menu was a nice feature and feared for its absence when I switched to Windows 8.
Get this: there is life after start menu. It is not essential :P. But it mostly depends on your preferences. I tend to organize software in folders in my desktop, and leave the ones I catalog as "general" as icons on the desktop. The search function is the same... maybe better. I'm excited about its comeback in Windows 10 though.
I don't get why the colors are eye-popping and "none of them work for you". Are you not satisfied with a palette of 16 million colors? :)) Unfortunately I don't know of any tweak in this sense, must be some additional plugin to revert back.
Pro-tip: Shift+RightClick in any folder to open a command prompt with the path already set there. This only works in Windows 8 and will save you lots of typing time when you need to work with command line stuff.

Looks amazing, downloading!
Yikes just played it and whoa, this looks absoultely sick. Very interesting project and incredible-looking results(I never played fallout but now i'm intrigued!). Inspiring work, well done!!!

personally i think the funniest part of OP4 was if you kept the engineer alive from the FRIENDLY FIRE CHAPTER (the one that needed a medic) then what happens is that if you take him down to where the black ops are, you'll find that he doesnt actually have a weapon and will try and run up and kick the black ops with his foot. It doesnt go too well for him.

And I never understood why would ANYONE change Windows to Comic Sans.

Just goes to show how much you've matured I guess

The only reason I have to want to look back at my dark past is to see whether I was as grammar-proper as I seem to remember. I probably wasn't.

Is it called "This PC" in Win8? They went from "My Computer" to "Computer" to "This PC"? Sounds like a step backwards.
Pm me and i'll try to join.
Playtest by loading in console as sometimes if loaded via new game the purple laser ring around the hanger model in bombsite A doesn't show up.

It's an "arcade" version.
But for someone who knows some bits of the blizzard universe, it's fun. And through those mini-games in the map it's quite addictive.
