Far Cry 2 is a really fucking shit game.
Archie's gone and done a thing again...
Standard Definition link for those with spazzy internets. Everyone else should totally HD it up and fullscreen this motherfucker to see all the fine detail and to feel the bass.

The thing with Urbanebula is that is is ALWAYS available. Urby is not. That's why in Battlefield I am now |-Urby-| because Urbanebula was too long and would cover part of the graphic on my dogtags.
What does it mean, where did it come from?
Urby is an abbreviation of Urbanebula, a name I came up with when setting up my first email address.
It is a combination of the words Urban and Nebula, possible synonyms of City and Cloud respectively. A "city cloud" is basically smoke. So, in the grand scheme of things, Urby = Smoke.
(Some older members of TWHL may recall that many of my avatars featured clouds and skyscrapers.)

We already have a project planned after The Core...
Also, you couldn't be more wrong Digi. That's an HL2 RTS. 
Warning EXTREMELY large.I want that on a shirt.
Looking good but I don't really go for these deathrun strafey surfing gungame nonsense gamemodes.
Whatever happened to rescuing hostages and blowing up boxes?

Sounds interesting. Where exactly did you come across this? Who is developing it? Link link link.
The main quest line IS the destruction of Alduin. You can stay out of the civil war entirely. I quite enjoyed the civil war quest line except for all the running around you had to do, but the Alduin one was just total pants.
Well, you've posted in the wrong forum so I don't know whether you're referring to GoldSource or Source. Just to clarify, are you asking how to add a model that you have into a map or are you asking how to create a new model to be used in a map?
I wouldn't say Skyrim's main quest line was too short. Hell, I was bored to tears when I finally got to the shitty ending.
I think it's because the environment concept artist IS the guy who worked on HL2.
Can't be a bad thing.

On Halloween, I'm going to be gaming.
I checked this out last night.

Stephen Hawking
A fascinating man with an unfortunate history. His brilliant mind not only contains everything one man could possibly know about the universe, but also an incredible outlook on life. Watch a single interview with the guy and you will quickly discover that he is one of the nicest people on the planet.
Not to be confused with Stephen Walking, who is incredible in his own right for creating some of the most catchy dub-step tracks in the Monstercat collection.

Battlefield 3 is a disgusting singleplayer game.Can't argue with that. Quick time events, predictable story and dull combat. It's all about the online play.
Also, I did some digging on The WarZ. Got around to watching some gameplay footage this evening as well as discovering it's being developed by the people who brought us War.Inc...
PASS!
Having actually looked at some of the WarZ media I must admit that it looks sexy as Hell. I only recently learned that DayZ's standalone release is still going to use the ARMA engine. Think I'll just give it a miss completely if WarZ gets some good reviews.
You definitely belong in your field.I said that very same thing to a sheep the other day.
I'm so glad that somebody else reckons Archie belongs in a field. Well, more of an enclosure.
No more so than the HD models tbh. The only real issue is the texturing.
Nice entry. 
Picked up a copy of Receiver by Wolfire games for free because I bought the Overgrowth alpha.
For an FPS, this shit is complicated.
Also added my second post to Beggar Bob

Just take a clip of the area you like most, then recolour it in photoshop.
I am trying to avoid Drawception but I have started playing Skyrim again. Not the normal way though. Got some mods in there which made food, drink and sleep essential and I am playing as a homeless non-beggar.
Read all about it.

Considering that human beings outside the citadel get feed bags from wall dispensers, there certainly wouldn't be a cafe in the citadel.
Just heard Watch Me Do Me - Lonely Island for the first time... at work.
Fuck.
Fuck.
You either want them yourself or you don't want them in the mod.
Also, I totally forgot to check the trailer out the other night, but now I have earphones at work. Mod looks pretty awesome.

Given the combine's attitude towards humans, I seriously doubt there would be areas in the citadel fit for human habitation. Even breen, while he does have his own office, probably has to sleep in his chair.
Incidentally, Far Cry 3 looks shit and Crysis 3 looks boring.
LOL
Bought myself Max Payne 3 on Thursday, downloaded by Friday and blasted away the weekend for finally finishing it on Sunday afternoon.
Bloody good game.

Top tips there from TWHL's master of editing.
...because... my maps are coarse language? ...wat?
If coarse language offends anyone, words on screens will be the least of their concerns in The Core
iMacs
Take a mid-range PC, remove most of its good features, and sell it for the price of a fully kitted out gaming rig. That's an iMac.

I like the bit where everyone did a thing.
I nearly watched, but I am resisting so we can tmwyp later.
The grunts are government hired, professional killers. Gordon Freeman is a theoretical physicist.
Solved.
It does kinda suck though.

Zero Punctuation
An amusing and enlightening little series created by Ben Yahtzee Crowshaw which did for The Escapist website what The Simpsons did for Fox. Despite the fact that Yahtzee appears to be well educated and gifted in the art of journalism, some people need to stop taking his reviews so seriously. Too often have I heard "Well, I won't bother playing that because Yahtzee ripped it to pieces". Yahtzee is intentionally and often unreasonably hostile to mainstream games and their developers because that's what makes ZP good.
All in all though, a wonderful thing to come out of the Internet and something I shall continue to enjoy so long as he keeps making it.
8/10

Public Transporation
Public transportation is a unique form of Hell which must be endured by students (for getting an easy ride for 2 - 4 years) and commoners (for not working and claiming benefits for their thousands of children)
Buses usually smell like piss and are uncomfortable, especially when crowded.
Trains have a tendency to be late if nature does anything between it and its next stop.
Planes get flown into fucking buildings.
Buy a car!

Bag Seats
Although I've never heard of them simply being called "Bag Seats", the good old beanbag is both a blessing and a curse. You can just sit down in them, and relax as you sink into their fluffy goodness. Just don't expect to get out of them in a hurry, which could lead to disaster in emergency situations. Hence why you won't find any at your local fire station or hospital ER. Also, you're in for a pretty fucking warm night if you use two or three as makeshift duvets.

This is somewhat inspired by Captain Terrors journal. Basically, you name an object, person, animal whatever. It can be as precise as naming an item "pea" or you could cover a range of items "vegetables"
The next person then has to post what they think of that particular thing, giving it a wee review or summary, before naming their own item, person, animal, whatever. Pretty simple.
Also, to prevent this thread becoming an abusive clusterfuck, if someone posts something that you don't agree with (such as their views on religion or certain nationalities or whatever), please be mature and respect that it is their opinion and don't start an argument.
So, without further delay:

Archie and I have actually been talking about this over the weekend. There is still hope that this wonderful series will continue.
Sorry, I'm lying.

Ignore me. I am an idiot.
Got a Half-Life fact incorrect and now I have to go and kill myself.

I haven't downloaded it but I reckon the following would be a good start.
It's a de map, based in a city. While it's not overly original its a working formula so just keep going with it.
- Add lighting.
- Better textures.
- Re-import (or redo completely) the Nissan Silvia.
- Better effect for the implosion of the buildings.
- More details like lamp posts, semaphores, road markings, etc.

More of a doodle than a drawing but this is the kind of thing I usually do. Nothing fancy. Did this with a biro in 7 minutes just so I could put something in this thread.
I just don't find as much time to sit and draw as I used to sadly.
