I haven't had a look at the map (Don't have CS) but it seems from the screenshot like your draw distance is too low. Try increasing it in the map settings and see if that fixes it.

"She refuses to switch to Google Chrome because it works for the government."
...What? Does she mean because the government is able to use it without crashes, or because they own it? (The second one is completely false)
Chrome transmits data to google, not the government. And there are ways around that.

Yeah, Dimbark, what the hell? That's seriously wrong.

"I don't have any friends. Period."
You will, as long as you don't scare them off by complaining about yourself so much.
"EEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!"
Yeah, I react that way to Imperial too. Makes no sense, right?

It's okay to be a social outcast. It's definitely okay to be weird. Don't be afraid to stand out from the crowd and march to the beat of your own drum.

After all, you've seen what bad decisions people who are deemed as "normal" make.

This may be a bit hypocritical coming from me, but don't be so down on yourself. You're only 14, you still need time to develop your skills and abilities. You've already started, which is more than most people your age can say. And not everyone hates you. Those that do aren't worth being around anyway, so what does it matter? I sometimes feel like I'm disliked as well, but you know what? When I think that, I'm wrong. Let me tell you a story;
This one time, quite recently, I was somehow under the mistaken impression that my friends were just tolerating me to have someone to make fun of. (Harmless teasing, same as everyone does to everyone else, but I wasn't thinking straight) I told one of my friends that if they didn't start treating me as a friend, I wasn't going to tolerate it, and that I couldn't be their friend anymore. You know what she did?

She started crying. She was so upset because what she heard was "We aren't going to be friends anymore." It was at that moment I realized what an ass I was being. Of course they care. Of course they're actually my friends. So even if you feel like nobody likes you, you're wrong. You have friends. If you don't, you will soon; I know public school isn't always the best place to find people with your interests. But when you go to secondary schools, you'll find them. I guarantee you, there will be other people who play games other than Call of Duty and Halo. I guarantee there will be people as nerdy and geeky as you, that you can relate to, and who will be your friends. Ask anyone here if they have friends who are like that, you'll get a "yes" (except maybe Dimbark, but he hasn't been to a secondary school) Those geeks and nerds are the people who have your back through thick and thin. They are the people who will care about you.
And they are the real cool kids.

True. It is nice to be able to play your favorite non-PC games when the cartridge is AWOL. I miss my GBA version of Link to the Past... and the copy of Goldeneye my brother took to uni...

Emulation isn't as good as the real deal. There's something to be said for a controller in your hands and a cartridge in your peripheral vision. Also the emulators don't always render things properly, which sometimes kills gameplay.

That's cool. I don't suppose you're authorized to share any of the actual media with us?
Also, I'm a bit confused as to the CCTV footage; It was made last night, but the drill was today? How would it help the response team if it wasn't live feed? Was it just for background on the incident, so they knew what they were negotiating?

I never did finish that map. Couldn't make a decent cat model.
I must have missed that thread the first time around; I recognize the cat as Srry's (and one of Skals' avatars) but I don't remember those pictures.

"DAMMIT!"

You're a dig bick.

Do it. I want to see this. (I also kind of wish I hadn't deleted my old maps, even though they were crap)

Congrats doggybag, and welcome back, Taylor!

Happy Birthday!

I dislike Skrillex, but that's more because of his ear-blasting 5000% volume youtube ads than his actual music. I don't really listen to dubstep, but I don't hate it or anything. It's just not really my style.

Happy Birthday!

Hey. See you this time next year.

Been catching up on my massive JustUrby and Archie Outlined backlog lately. This one was particularly funny.

That set is awesome. I want one. If I ever get a lair, it will have a room like that set. Just give us any information you feel is worth sharing. (spoilers not included)

Yes. But not this one.

Congrats to the winners- and the MOTM team for making such great reviews. Especially liked de_twhl2011, if only because we all know we'd be doing the same thing in Archie's place.

Anyone who seriously thinks the bible condemns homosexuality needs to learn to read. That's like saying the bible supports murdering children so they don't usurp your throne. Sure, some king said it. Doesn't make it God's will.

Fuck homophobes and other bigots.

That said, it's not really a choice, afaik. You don't choose who you fall in love with, etc. If someone's making a conscious choice to "be gay", they're either faking or bisexual.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, however.

I'm making a note here, HUGE SUCCESS.

Not really. Now, this thread... Or the aftermath of my first day in general (last two posts here)

I have apologized for that, right? As well as my atrocious spelling and overuse of emoticons?

Wow. It seems like a lot of other members here joined (too) young and as their first community also.

Might be one of the reasons we never really leave.
Only been here 1210 days (4 years). But almost every day out of that time.

I kind of want to vote for this as MOTM, just to see what Urby would do. But I suppose I should at least play it first.

TJB: And DiscoStu will be the last man standing.
I'm in Canada, boys. Think you can track me down in the vast expanses of the great white north?

Oh crap, walking in snow leaves footprints.

Yay, I was right.

Great work, the maps are well constructed and full of ambiance, and the quiz itself is great. To my surprise, I only got a few questions wrong.
Also, I did not encounter any fat babies. Was I supposed to?

Awesome! The silenced weapons were definitely a nice touch, as well as the pitch increase of the hgrunt lines. I had to deduct a star for the ending though, both for being an empty black room, and because it came far, far too soon.

Okay, I can't wait until next year officially sets in over here.
I think we have MOTM reviews inbound. And I've thought so since Archie shared with us just how expensive pre-picked blueberries are.

Maybe I will. Tomorrow, when It's officially 2012 everywhere.
Also, I don't recognize the picture. Who quit like a sniveling wuss?

I think I know what's going on. I won't spoil it, though, partly for fear I'm wrong.

Happy Birthday!

I like how that police vehicle is in a handicapped reserved parking spot.
Someone should give them a ticket.

Yes. Yes it is.

Congrats to CT, and thanks for all the new tuts.
I also second the award for Tetsu0, because he's a generous chap.

I find this both humorous and cute.
Of course now he's going to grow up to say things such as "great Scot!" regularly.

"what is a final?"
Final exam for the semester. Of which there are of course, two per school year, and thus they happen in the middle of the year as well as the end.

Entropy.

I have a good feeling about this one. He will be a master.
