Almost like a way-past-dusk map, it could probably use the night sky.
Why are you always testing out the weirdest obscure mods? The last one you recommended (that I tried) got me killed in less than a minute of gameplay. I didn't even get to explore the room I spawned in.

A proxy is a server your traffic goes through. You can use a proxy as a workaround to restrictive corporate servers. Or, like in this case, monitor unsuspecting internet users to spam their computers in some way. I don't know much more than that, though.
DNS = Domain Name Server. It's a server that holds the IP addresses for domains, i.e translates "google.com" to its corresponding IP address. In this case, all my web requests were being directed through some ukranian server that was adding annoying popups to every page sent back to me.
I still don't know how did they manage to change all this shit, probably some sort of backdoor, security exploit or a trojan that passed under the radar.
It's apparently fixed now, Spybot S&D detected those malicious network settings (I already had, though) and fixed them. Also detected a shitload of tracking cookies, which aren't actually harmful themselves so that was the least of my concerns.
I'm using Firefox, btw.
I do wonder if this could be related to the screwed up HDD driver I posted about a few days ago.

Striker you should keep your computer indoors
I had a similar problem some time ago. I had a GForce FX5200, and the screen started blacking out more and more often, and occasionally freezing the whole computer. I couldn't figure it out so I took it to the local repair shop, they opened the case right there and the capacitors were all popped. So I just replaced it for a GForce FX6200 and I'm happy again.

So basically what you're saying is that this is a great mod with unimpressive mapping but an awesome storyline about blowjobs. So you're in it just for the blowjobs.
You know, people WILL type thirdperson if only to find out why did you instruct not to.

I'm waiting for a well thought-out mod now.
Happy bday Jeff!

I hope everything goes well.
Good luck, and have fun

That's one less idiot in the world.
@Soup Miner: Why don't you have yours already and quit whining?
