Back in 1995, when I turned away from my former lifestyle and let Christ into my heart, His transforming power was so totally awesome that my hair turned grey - almost overnight, no jawsin' - but my mustache miraculously stayed black! I knew this had to be a sign from God...

I bet somebody did it to him while he was sleeping.

Enjoy the roomy comfort of our sexyboxers as underwear

They're made to promote abstinence, yet they are described as "sexy".
Is it just me or is that just retarded?

I've always wanted to do that, and I definitely have the time, but I've never actually got round to doing it.

Would it be acceptable to modify the design slightly, provided it keeps all of the original elements? I can't see anything that actually pushes the door out of it's hole, or makes it move along, which seems silly.

I like it when there's little details that don't do anything gameplay-wise but tell a little backstory, like in HL2 and Elder Scrolls 4.

in school shootout mod idea Post #251714

What Pepper said makes me think. I wonder how a WW2 Veteran would feel playing DoD or any WW2 Game, likewise Vietnam Veterans playing Battlefield or Active Servicemen Playing COD4...

I've always been unable to like WW2 or Vietnam games. I find it sick that people take enjoyment from playing games based on real wars, where real people died.

But on the topic at hand, I don't agree with the idea of an actual 'school shooting mod', but it seems to me that alex_m99 wants to make a huge deathmatch arena based on his school where the students have a similar role to the citizens in HL2, and the teachers having a similar role to the Metro Cops, just to add realism and ambience.
It looks like he's tried to correct the mistake of how he originally worded the idea, but nobody seems to be listening to him, and flaming him for the idea of psychotically running around with the sole intention of killing everyone.

In Portal, when you escape the testing areas, aren't there rooms that you can't get into that have slide projectors showing Aperture and Black Mesa funding? That would definitely mean that they're rivals.

If it did go through Xen, then that would be a convenient reason for filling it with bullsquids and other Xen creatures.

And I doubt that Apeture would be responsible for the combine coming to Earth. Isn't the current theory that the killing of the Nihilanth brought our universe to the attention of the Combine?

I was thinking that he should be:
1. Tricked on ('these moving walkways seem like a wonderful idea! I wonder where it goes to?'),
2. Put into a coma with some kind of electrical arc,
3. Have his throat slit,
4. Gruesomely dismembered.
5. Eaten by scientists who are then invited to 'try out the new moving walkways'.

I was serious. When I said beefburgers, that was just because if somebody says burger instead of beefburger, then I assume they mean including the buns and condiments. I doubt you'd get them out of a scientist no matter how much you process them.
After posting the idea I realised that you wouldn't get beef from them either, since cows generally don't make good scientists.

I have to admit that the only idea that I've had in two months is to make some kind of machine that kills scientists, and processes them into beefburgers.
If anyone thinks that idea sucks, feel free to come up with one yourself.

in GoldSource Mapping Tips Post #248460

Try to add extra realism to a map.
Placing lights for example. Even if the map is set in daytime, you should still put in light sources (eg, lightbulbs), even if they are unnecessary and turned of. In a building new lights aren't put up every night. They're there in the daytime as well.
For realistic placement of light sources, try making a version of the map that has no daylight. Place the lights so that there are no unrealistically dark areas.

in Earth Hour 2008 Post #248278

I came up with a very stupid idea that could probably never work several years ago. If nuclear fission splits atoms, then use nuclear fusion on the waste to put them back together, and get more energy. Then put the waste from that reaction into a fission reactor and get more energy, and so a never ending cycle begins.
I wasn't drunk at the time, 'cause I was 12, so I don't know what drove me to come up with such a dumb idea.
