Having a screenshot as a background for anything on a site is an awful idea, because it;
a) Steals attention from the logo itself
b) Often gives stark contrasts from the text, making it harder to read
c) Is almost impossible to "fit in" with the rest of the site.
The template is alright, I guess. Some of the fonts needs changing and a few more "flashy" additions'd be nice.

I'm not too happy with how it turned out, but it's a general idea. 800x200 is really big, by the way. When you get to making the site, make sure it's smaller than 800 pixels wide, so you cater for people using 800x600 as their resolution too.
I must agree with Anty on the design and colour scheme. Black-on-Orange looks pretty... soggy. I'd much rather prefer a more neutral white/gray silvery scheme, with a fancy 2.0 look. My header will be in shortly.
Anyone notice there was no pyro or medic?You could actually see the pyro, just not from his POV.
Looks pretty neat, but I don't know.. the TF2 gameplay is a bit.. meh.
Anal maneuver, ha!
I'm looking forward to Portal more than TF2. I never got into the whole Team Fortress thing. Any game that incorporates "concing" as a common expression must be questionable.
In any case, I'm buying Episode 2.

It's actually a pretty big game.
If you need design, CSS or HTML suggestions, I'm all there, 
. I suggest putting up an information front for gamingparents.org so people know it exists.
Make it state the purpose of the website and an approximate ETA on the actual content.
With 200GB bandwidth per month, you can afford pretty heavy traffic, I wouldn't worry about that.
And yes, limiting the forum to a maximum of 4 sections would be a good idea. Too many sections make a site very confusing and almost always makes it seem empty.

Have you actually bought the domain yet?
Can I join and have a loud voice spewing out biased opinions even though I'm just 16?
I know what's best for kids EVERYWHERE!!!
Seriously though, good idea, I'd love to pitch in if you need help with anything.

You can easily adjust both colours, brightness, saturation, contrast etc. from various menus once your fractal is done. Also check the "mutations" window, to see if any of those look cooler.
Thanks for all the random praises and stuff, but I'd really like to see more people's fractals!
Come on, try out the program for awhile and show us your best.

I'm using this, as opposed to my old DELL-standard stuff. Works pretty well, I've never seen the temperature go above 55c, idle is about 50c (on an old Pentium 4). Since it's temperature controlled, I'm assuming it won't let the PC overheat. However, I only have one case fan. Oh well, it's been working so far, will get another when I can be arsed.
Anyone who tries it succesfully, report here. I'll do anything to beat my chronical depression.
I've just got into making fractals with a neat little program called Apophysis. It's pretty fun to be able to create complex, nice-looking shapes without any skill whatsoever - the image editing itself is mostly random.
So, in this thread, post your fractals and whatnot. Here's a few of mine to get you started;
Apophysis and tutorials can be found at Apophysis.org. Enjoy.

Pretty boring textures, imho.
You can't. Atleast I don't think so. CS just doesn't have the option. And there's no such a thing as a GDF. If you mean FGD, they really don't matter to the game itself seeing as how it doesn't change anything but hammer.
Your best bet is to make a game_player_equip and give the players guns at the start.

There are examples of existence everywhere, but you can never show me a place where there is nothing. You just have faith in nothing, that's all.I believe lots of things exist, just not a divine being of all-encompassing power.
It takes a lot stronger will to beleive in something than to beleive in nothing.That doesn't even make sense. Oh, I believe there's a flying spaghetti monster in the sky, so my will is much stronger than yours? Belief has little to do with will.
Some details on the walls and ceiling could do. Pipes, generic metallic stuff and so on.
only one bit of evidence to prove it (The Bible)How is a collection of fictional stories evidence?
My apologies.
In any case, the video isn't an attack on christianity per se. It's an attack at people imposing their views on others, using christianity. Just listen to the damn lyrics.
Grass looks rly flat. Displacement maps, please.
Wow, pretty breath-taking, very good work to you, sir. The lighting is superb - however, I'm not sure it's suited for HL2DM. Dark maps in fast-paced multiplayer are usually not a good idea. If I were you, I'd consider making it HL2SP primarily, then releasing a HL2DM version. But it's up to you.
In any case, good work. Could we have a scan of the layout, perhaps?

In source mapping it's considered ugly, seeing as how the standard is to scale them down to .25. Not that I see how it significantly improves image quality, but y'know.
You need to get a webserver. They come in many different forms and flavours, but I personally recommend Apache, which is completely free and is what I'm using to host ZLDB.be. If you hop on IRC I'll help you set it up when I have time, seeing as how the documentation is harder to understand than it should be.
This thread is more than a year old. I don't know why someone bumped it, but no one cares anymore.
A constituent country of the United Kingdom.
England isn't a country, last time I checked. Zing!
I don't think people with english as their first language are allowed to complain. Fucking singulinguals can go learn more languages before you start whining.
Or kiddy-rape.
I think it's purrty. Lighting could do a do-over though. And.. a 3D-skybox. But I suspect you'll be adding that.
Use Active@ Killdisk to completely wipe the hard-drive (removing all partitions). Remember to backup the files you want. Re-install windows and all your applications.
Bah. Fine, remove the first sentence and move the second to the end of my previous post and it works.
I prefer spacemonger, for some reason that I forget now.
But as always when someone disagrees with you, you start throwing useless accusations around.Oh my god, zing.
Format C:. Re-install windows and all your applications. Use Active@ Killdisk to completely wipe the hard-drive (removing all partitions). Remember to backup the files you want.
If you have a habit of getting lots of warezed games, burn them on discs (DVDs prefferably). My downloads partition filled up in no time with lousy huge-ass games.
Format C:!!!
I have a mousetrap at the switch that opens the case, I'd say that's plenty sufficient!
Get Your Jesus Off My Penis was not only hilarious and audially pleasing, it was, in some degree, a bit thoughtprovoking aswell.
I hate Kasperg for being so god-damn skilled.
Awesome 
. I want mountains.
. I want mountains.Anyone have a release date? Am so getting this.
I've mainly used pinnacle. It's pretty good. Powerful, yet very user friendly, with a fairly flat learning curve.
I hate participating in this thread, it's utterly stupid, but I just want to post this image. Ha.
Is it passworded? I guess not, but if it is, remove the password.
Anyhow, I'm really not sure, but mess around in Control Panel -> User Accounts and see what you can do.

Punishing people about their views is always wrong. If they're being racistic or utterly intolerant of others, that's a good time to take action.
Besides, according to nickelplate, my (and others) views are probably more extreme than his.

They're pretty funny, these. Hilarious moments at times, like the chloroform scene.
The most compelling game I've ever played was Final Fantasy VII. The story completely sucks you in. One of my favourite games ever.
Get your jesus off my penis was anything but stupid. Have you even listened to the lyrics?
