I know a guy who plays through Super Mario World mods and records the entire experience with commentary about everything.
What's a few maps anyway, the reviews are entertaining and he's good at them.

Trapt's internet personality reminds you of Stephen Hawking? If anything, that's a compliment, he's one of the most brilliant people aliveTrapt is one of those awesome assholes that you love to hate to love.
TF2 map, Strider?
Likewise. I guess I can throw my idea in the mix and get this whole thing pieced together.
If you guys like the micromap idea, we can do another of a different theme or something. ...or badger the admins about a new competition.

Oh, ghost in the shell was fantastic. I'm not big on anime but I've seen all of that one, its awesome, deep and cerebral, and well written.
Naruto and Bleach are pretty good.Hahahahhhahahaaahahhahaahahha ahHhahahahahhaha, hahahaa......
...SNXXXX AHAHHAHhahahahahahahaaahahahahaaa.... ahahhahahaaaha...
I have Ponyo now, haven't watched it yet.
On those parkinglot stripes, you could try to nodraw the sides and bottoms of the brushes on all of them, then make them a little bit transparent to blend more with the surface below them. Just a thought.
Sorry Joe.
I'm going to add maybe 2 or 3 stains on the ceiling and do graffiti.
AND FOR THE LAST TIME! POST SOME WALL WRITING AND GRAFFITI! YOU ARE A PART OF THE BEERFORT! THE BEERFORT IS A PART OF YOU!
I left the walls mostly blank for that reason.

Ya know, there are at least 9 other areas I need to work on. :[
Shit. Well ok i'll work on it.
EDIT: I just did +showbudget on this for the first time and the amounts are practically nothing. gj valve :]

Uhm, by any chance are you using a batch compiler or the compilator? Are your compile tools up to date?
Working on all that. This is what I had by the end of last night.
Rebirth sucks. At least its better.
needs a skybox to make the water endless but i'm sure that's on your to-do list. nice work so far
I checked it, it was gone. Apparantly the autosaves we of my testing map so it must have happened a while back.
Angry mapping = get shit done.
I like this new version better. I have uglied it up yet with overlays or debris but most of it is back and is a bit cleaner or optimized.
Also, let's see some spraypaint for the walls, please contribute some writing

autosaves? where are they?
Left 4 Beer has been mistakingly saved over by a trigger testing map. At least I have my triggers setup and gameplay in place, but all progress with mapping so far is completely gone.

Ha! You found it! Been looking for that.
Yeah doesn't look as good as I remember. But still its old and I thought it was pretty when I saw it for the first time.
Anyway, I do like the unlimited detail stuff. ZBrush fags will love it if things become more sculptural and painterly.

might as well make this "Freeman Kart" and add a slew of nutty tracks and characters on go-carts from the various Valve games.
I'd map for it.

I've seen weirder stuff that Unlimited Detail. A German thing called Workzeug or something like that was revolutionary in procedural graphics. About 7 years ago there was a game that looked like Halo 2 and was only 65kb in size. I've seen it and was amazed.
This unlimited detail stuff has similar technology that has been in use for years in the architectural world. Even though ts all nice, I still say that animation and dynamics like physics and pixel shaders are going to suffer.
...and shit, why haven't NURBS replaced polygons yet? A NURBS is a fraction of the size of a standard normalized polygon anyway.
... NURBS mean Non-Uniform Rational Boolean Spline. Its vectors with the space in the middle filled in mathematically. It takes only 2 nurbs to make a perfect sphere.

ZOMBIES AINT GETTIN MAH BEER!
Grim is helping me understand source mapping, couldn't have gotten this far without him.
I can say I enjoy Halo singleplayer. Multiplayer is scrotum.

Figuring things out. 
Does anyone else map for L4D2?
I just started recently too.
So yeah! Lets here some.

Uhm... sprites and models show up fine in mine. I have version 3.5.
when you type "sprites/glow1.spr" it won't show up in hammer.
if you type "c:/sierra/halflife/valve/sprites/glow1.spr" it does show up but the map won't find the sprite when its run.
if you copy your models and sprites folders in your hammer folder they'll show up without having to deal with the directory issue.
so when hammer looks for "sprites/glow1.spr" it'll actually find it in the hammer folder, and the map will also run without error.

embed that rubbishTrue. Although you can always put a time limit on it like the 24 hour journal cool down, if you want to be that strict about it. But its best not to go with it and I agree with you.
Volunteers + Bankruptcy = Laziness. Often caused by Pot as a side effect.
Yeah you'll have to make your own isometric graphics and new not-gay characters as well as find the scripts for the supporting movements. They do exist and are certainly available. Though you may have to join a few communities to get them.
EDIT: I've done some research and the isometry you're looking for might not be easily obtained. If you would settle for a more strict isometric view like this...
...you won't have to waste that many tiles and the sprites/graphics would be a lot easier to make. The top down 8-way movement scripts and graphics are abundant so no worries there if you choose this style.
...and yes, that is a screenshot of Nox. Awesome game.

Wow, 6 degrees and sunny in Stockholm.
Oh, right. The new XP an VX Versions have game script, Ruby or something like that. Its way different than the even scripting to make NPCs talk and give you items, its actual code. The event script is still there, and with some resourcefulness, its still very powerful. I once made a hat system where a player could wear a special hat. That would then change his class for example a fire type. He would then fire strengths and weaknesses and be able to learn fire skills. When you take off the hat, you resort to what you were exactly before you wore the hat, only the skills you earned stayed. It was a dynamic way of learning new skills that involved training and stuff. It worked perfectly.
Its someone else's screenshot. Nabbed from a RPG RPG Revolution forum. Just showing that RPG Maker is no longer a junky editor like it was before.
RPG maker has easy to implement scripts that enable 8-way movement on an isometric grid. Of course you'd likely have to come up with all of the graphics yourself.
I was bit by the RPG bug a month ago and checked out RPG Maker VX. Its a really nice piece of software and not crotchy to use at all. RPG Maker XP is really good too if you want to compare and pick one that's right for you.

Wow, I don't see anything.
What the fuck is Thiaf?
EDIT: I can't believe I forgot about this. How awesome would that be to have the ultimate Star Wars prequel of when Yoda is a padawan bartender or something. Also, that would be the old assed republic. Its the only part of star wars that hasn't been raped and could be rather nice. Shit, just make it all in CG and call it a day.

Yes.
Nope, just the sky.
Progress Duuuuuuump.

No, its normal in the officials.
I used the sky Habboi suggested. I now have a Hall of Mirrors sky.

All of my skies in the browser shows up as purple blocks like they don't exist. Do I need to unpack them from something?
Also, why do some prop models disappear in-game? Like a certain trash can and beer bottles?
On a lighter side, I have a rather convincing bowling alley made. Will post screenshots when I get some lighting and figure out some of these problems.

Skybox texture... I haven't tried the skybox 2D one yet. Is it because I don't have a 3D skybox yet? HL2 never gave me purple crap when I did the same.
Yeah perhaps, at least it would concrete the concept of running for beer. However I think I need to figure out how to get things working differently for the return trip, or perhaps make two maps of it which would simplify quite a bit.
Also, on the google map, the large build near the storage is a bowling alley. I think I'll be using that as the "Beerfort" if I can get it built right, like make it look more like a stronghold fort with more improvised parts, a custom sign that doesn't look so tacky, and a better safe room. Will post more upon developement.
