Screenies look cool but I think there needs to be a bit more going on at the top. Ceilings aren't just for lighting after all. It's where you run things that need to stay out of reach, but at the same time be accessable to maintenance personnel. Right now in my office I can count 3 sets of pipes and cables which are running along the tops of the walls and along the ceilings.

Of course, if you don't want these kinds of things on display, use hatches and boxes. :D

Nah, I believe that there has got to be some degree of penguinicity in there somewhere. Why do you think the guy is so mysterious. Not a single photo online anywhere.

Anyway, programming a website is in no way easy, especially when it's live and you want to avoid downtime.

Sure, point out the faults that you notice, but don't just lay into the guy. I personally think we should all be grateful that he keeps the site up and running as it is.

The plot for the last hour or so of MGS2 was written with ketchup and a spatula.

Other than that, awesome game.

I got myself a copy of Just Cause 2 on Sunday, played a bit and it seems fun. Gonna be getting the Old World Blues DLC for Fallout: New Vegas when I get home tonight. Still haven't finished the other 2 DLCs I got, not to mention the main story. Racked up 200+ hours of gameplay in FNV and still not finished. Take heed Call of Duty developers. THAT is value for money.

Modern Warfare 3 looks set to have a decent 30 minute campaign. :rly:

I wouldn't say that time created us. Time destroys mankind and everything it creates.

In that sense, time is the most powerful super weapon in existence, which probably explains man's desire to harness it.

My take on time travel is this.

To go back in time in one single dimension would be catastrophic. Let's just forgo the fact that the means to perform such an act as travelling back in time would de-construct itself around you. Also, what's to say that you yourself would reverse your aging process until the point where you no longer exist?

If either of these scenarios were somehow avoided and it was possible for you to travel back, keeping your current form intact, what happens when you get there. If so much as a single person see's you, then the entire human race would become obsessed with this future technology and focus solely on it having now proved that it is in fact possible. Suddenly you've buggered the time line. Certain scientific advances would be overlooked in favour of time travel and the modern day which you return to (should you choose and be able to do so) would change dramatically. Hell, you may go back to the present day only to find that because of this, the human race has died out.

An ideal solution would be this. Time travel is possible, by jumping from one dimensional plane to another. That way, you can go back and do whatever you like, as to return you simply (heh) jump back onto your previous dimensional plane and life carries on as normal. That way, it would also be impossible for scientist government tards to go back and change things for their own gain. However, it would be possible for school children to go back and interview the likes of George Washington and Abe Lincoln in person without worrying about knocking over a vase and causing a nuclear holocaust or some shit.

ok ive managed to use my new blood-stained axe in place of my crowbar i just unpacked my pak file into the valve folder and renamed my models crowbar and overwrote the originals.
You don't need to unpack your PAK file, all that does is double your file size! You also don't need to overwrite anything.

All you need is to have the same file structure. If you have crowbar.mdl in your "valve/models" then it will automatically take priority over the file in the PAK. Same goes for sprites, sounds etc.

Far Cry 2 is fantastic when it comes to graphics. The problem is that the gameplay is utter crap.

Far Cry 3 doesn't look much better and the gameplay seems more like an arcade game with the points showing up when you perform certain actions. It doesn't look all that great and I still have the bad taste of FC2 in my mouth.

No dice.

I'm sitting up until 1am tonight to see Skyrim. I watched the preview the other day and it looks pretty sweet. The only issue I can see is the combat. Melee still looks flat, even in the days of advanced physics systems and fluid animation you can strike a guy in the face with a sword and he just shrugs it off. Keep slashing his face a few more times and eventually he falls over. Pretty disappointing.

Other than that, still really excited.

A lot of the stuff is gimmicky console bullshit which I could do without. What the fuck is a WiiU!? Good job NintenD'oh!

Hmmm, like mixing vomit with shit?

I am still waiting for Modern Warfare 2 to drop down to £5 because there is no way I am paying the same price for a half-assed 4 hour campaign as I would pay for, say, Skyrim which promises 300 hours of gameplay.

Well, there's the Fallout 3 models, a few from Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines and Hitman blood money. A few from CoD4 too.

A lot of them have been edited to work with goldsource and include features such as additive / transparent texturing, but their base models will have been direct ports.

To be honest, there are a few models which I would love to use myself but I'm wondering if it's worth all the "OMG YOU STEALZ MODULZ!!11" I would get. :rly:

Spirit should be treated as a mod, not an update. It comes with a folder of additional files which you may need to replace standard HL ones.

You'll need Steam HL or the latest version of WON half-life to run it properly.

The fact that Sony didn't announce this to the world as soon as it happened is a black mark on their name. I'm sure if card details were at risk they would have made everyone aware the moment they realised.

As for name, address and contact details, I generally could give less of a shit.
