Write about some of your accomplishments this year (2009).

I have started learning OpenGL (which is really fun and interesting) and am writing my own game in JavaScript using jslibs. It's a Heroes of Might and Magic III remake and I think I'll actually complete this project.

I am also working on a Half-Life DM map which I am really proud of. It's far from finished but what I have so far is great. You can see screenshots in the WIP thread.

They aren't asking you to pay for the server mod, now, are they? You are asked to pay to keep your "lvls" on their server. That's an entirely different thing. Besides, idiots who pay for benefits on a server don't need their money.

They ran out of modern computers and had to use use on from the ship's museum? I have plans to make it look like a modern computer (or if that fails; replace it completely), there's much you see in the screenshots that will be improved or replaced. There are more rooms but they are less complete.

Then who would be using it? Automated func_tanks don't shoot grunts.
They shoot whatever's in front of them when they can't rotate, they see a player (or scientist/Barney) and their tolerance is 180 or more. I think.

Only when i shoot him, he regains his AI.
What if you would build an invisible func_tank which does 0 damage? Maybe that would activate his AI when it attacks him.

Quote from the Wikipedia article on Semantic HTML:
Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup to reinforce the semantics, or meaning, of the textual information rather than merely to define its presentation (look).
For example, <hX> (where X is a number between 1 and 6) tags should be used for headers and the <ol> (ordered list) and <ul> (unordered list) tags should be used for lists instead of <table> or <div>.

is.

Google and other search engines treat text in <strong> or <hX> tags as more important. Image search engines read the "alt" and "title" attributes on <img> elements. The "alt" attribute is used by text-to-speech programs, too.
But it still does not hurt to have plenty of meta data key words for the other search engines that do use them.
That is true, Google is the most used search engine but there are many others and some read "keywords" meta data.

Edit: Oh and I haven't read the whole thread, but I take it you are going to code the website yourself?

Well, if your website has those key words too, then your site will also show up on Google's search results for those particular search words.
Google ignores "keywords" meta data. What's important is that you write semantic HTML (or semantic XHTML).

Try surrounding your map with a giant box and start deleting brushes. It should help you locate the problem brush.
