1. Canada isn't a real country. (you'd in reality be moving from the US to the Northern Territories of the US...) : D
2. Some US states do pay for your education (California public Colleges are free and Florida pays your way if you get decent grades... or so i've heard) and/or give you very low interest loans (federal and state) for school.
If you're poor in many states, you get grants (not loans) for Full Education costs + Room & Board.
3. The Netherlands sounds like a cool place to go; you just have to learn Dutch and ask Pepper if he has a spare room to rent. = )

Yeah, I know this site, this is where I got information on mobile videocards, back when I was looking for a notebook. Pretty informative but also easy to understand, especially with that VGA-benchmark list.

ok.
it's been a long time since i played that halo map, but i'm pretty sure the originals weren't as blocky as yours. By "blocky", i mean things are overly square and cubistic when they should have beveled edges or a more sophisticated design.
An easy place to start is to do trims or molding around building bottoms and edges and hallways, add bevels to plain corners to make them look more organic.
Where i would start is to take some screenshots from the original game (which i'm sure you did) and make things more like the shots. if indeed the original map is THAT blocky, then you've done your job already of recreating the original level, but you could always add to it to make it BETTER than the original.
Ambience. I can't remember if you had sounds or music in your map, but definitely add some if you don't. a slow gurgling sound for the creek, a misting sound where the falls drop into the creek, and maybe some computer/machinery hums and warbles inside the bases.
that's all i can think of for now. if you redo them map, pm me and i'll happily playtest it for you.
LMAO
I'll maybe download the mod
