"Integrated sound is never good" Is your statement based on your experience or you just say this because, well... it's probably a saying that everybody learned from the internet? Because a few years ago, an integrated sound card might've sucked, but it's not really the same thing nowadays(again, I say this from what I read on the internet).
I don't think there is a huge difference in audio quality. Or I can be wrong. Is it true that a sound card can free up some CPU usage?

Unfortunately it's integrated on the Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 rev 3.3 motherboard. I haven't had the money for a creative sound card, you know...
Are there big differences between an integrated one and a cheap (let's say, about 35$-40$(which isn't necessarily cheap for my money, erhm...)) Creative sound card?

I played your map and... I see you put some effort in those scripts. You even worked on your apologies! It's a shame you didn't complete it. I found it fun to watch. The beginning actually felt funny. There was no special architecture involved, nothing really fancy, but the atmosphere is quite well built. The small village could be more... full of life,you know. Some NPCs around there.. What a big ship! The ship was the bad part, I guess... lack of details around there :).
I hope you can actually continue this, even if it's not submitted to the TWHL contest anymore. If you do want to continue this, don't forget to place some mist around the ship to enhance a bit the atmosphere

But wait, in some recent video I heard Gabe telling that at least 3 big surprises await us in the next year. One of them is surely not a surprise, being Portal. But what are the other 2?

"The fact that Valve can't get episodic content out the door in a shorter development timeframe (let's face it, none of the Episodes equate to a full game), it tells me that something is afoot. "
Or perhaps they're doing it for not spoiling the fun of waiting for a game? Who knows? You know, 3 episodes released in a year would have lost all of HL2's story beauty, you know what I'm saying? If it's not that, they're clearly assholes or lazy dudes :))(or dudas for girls?).

I actually played Minecraft and I liked it. But eventually you get bored. Players are attracted by this game probably because they enjoyed reading "Robinson Crusoe" :).

Are you actually using an electrical radiator there?
[EDIT] Urby, sorry to say this, but as long as you'll make videos about you eating, the weather outside, and random stuff happening in the 1 square meter around you, your videos will be boring. I just don't have the patience to watch everything.
I don't know what to suggest really. Perhaps tell us a joke, talk about some important events, geeky stuff... maybe reviews? Like " Oh hello guys, I just downloaded this 'INSERT COOL MAP NAME HERE' from twhl, and I think it is awesome'-> add some in game footage+ some quick comments on that map. It's just an idea. Or just try out random stuff and tell us about it.

There's one thing I can't actually understand. If water has a slight tint of blue, then why snow is white? Can't get that outta' my head!
I love snow! Let it snow, let it snow let it snoooooowwwwww. But then I also hate those boring temperatures! It's like, 5 to 0 degrees celsius it is enough to make you shiver but nothing cool happens! I would really enjoy some -30 degrees, that's when the fun begins! I mean, rivers start to be a skating park and hot water instantly turns into snow if you throw it.
But there's something dangerous about freezing temperatures too... when on rail tracks, you can't hear the train from the distance. Even the sounds freezes!

I think Bahurs 'better camera' is a bit of a joke. Anyway, I partially agree with you Blitzkrieg. You can be a great artists(I'm not at all, I just like photography- that's all) and go out there with you mobile phone camera and what's the result then? I need to have some basic quality.

Does it make any sounds? Beeping? If not, check if everything is correctly inserted into its socket. If what skals said is true, I mean if your video card is overheating(or the CPU), that may be your problem. If not, your power supply is.

Suddenly I see! suddenly I seeee...this is not what I thought it to be! I thought the operation would leave only a small scar on her scalp, but gee... that's rather huge.
I'm sure Rimrook's face looks exactly like the face of an actor I can't remember right now. Wonderful success. Love yourselves! Peace!

It seems the baclklight has failed. Normal LCDs( not "LED TV" or "LED screens") have CCFL lamps to provide the brightness. I suspect it could be cheaper to repair it than buying a new one.

If 60 videos is a milestone, then it's odd. It should be 50 imo.

Great project!
Was just about to say you're wrong :)).

This competition could've been started faster...
ATI Radeon will be rebranded as "AMD Radeon".

I don't believe you.

Don't worry, we have to do such things as well ^^.
