in Say goodbye Post #44456

Whoa, did I join just in time for the fall of TWHL?

Too bad...

But you guys are right, there are too many ppl join too fast and submitting crap. Most of my maps get 3/5 and 4/5 ratings (thank god) but whenever I go to the map vaults, I see tons of 1/5's and 2/5's. It's ridiculous at the number of mega-noobs just joining and submitting maps that are made up of a room into the completed map vaults! Not only is VOX leaving, but so is Pepper.

This site is like a city. It's a pretty good small town, but people notice the beauty of the land around it, and many people come to the town. They find some minerals in the ground that would make everyone rich. More people hear about this and come to the town. Soon, there are big factories everywhere, polluting the land. The old town is ruins, because everyone now lives in apartment complexes near the factories. Soon, there are commercial bussinesses everywhere. People from all around are flocking to the city. The city grows massive, but the quality of the land goes away.

And that's the story of TWHL...

Here's some comparisons:

Town/City: TWHL
Land: The maps in the map vault
People: Members of the site
Apartment Complexes: Forums
Factories: Tools used to create maps
Commercial Bussinesses: Members telling others about their maps in the forums.
Old Town: Old parts of the map vault

"As the town grew into a city, the land quality got worse and worse" is the same as "As TWHL gets bigger, the maps get worse"

The HD pack gave him too many wrinkles, which he has almost none of in HL2, except maybe a bit near his eyes.

in I need a modeler. Post #44446

No more mods from noobs! Well, a noob trying to make a mod is a good thing I guess, because once they try to make a mod, and fail, that seems to be the end of their noobish days.

When you fight nihilanth and you get warped for the first time during the battle, while you fall it sounds like he is saying "You're alone, you're alone, you're alone," and it seems to echo three times. But that's just what it sounded like to me.

in The HL story Post #44384

The Xen Aliens made Half-Life to make us believe that they don't exist but they really exist and they're going to invade us soon and the Gman really exists and he's watching the invasion for his own amusement and I think I heard something outside so I'm getting really freaked out and what the hell was that I heard it again I'm going to go get my crowbar and then the oh my god is that a headcrab holy s*** they're coming for me because I know and I'm going to get out of here and let me just tell you again that the gman is watching you and the aliens from Xen are coming for you and portals are opening in my room and my bed just disappeared in one and so did my TV and now all these headcrabs are coming and oh my god run everyone because they're coming and they'll get you guys after me because they think that you know that they're real and the Gman is my neighbor and I didn't even know until now because he just walked out of his house and I just killed a couple of headcrabs they aren't getting me I think loud music scares them so I'm turning on my stereo and they're running away and I think I just heard a Gargantua and oh my god there he is bashing through my wall and I'm going to run now bye!

Here's one:

The bartender says, "What is this, a joke?"

I found out that you can start pre-loading it onto your steam on August 5th. It is playable on the 10th to I think the end of August. I'm not so sure on how long you can have it for, but the 5th and the 10th are right.

I know that CZ isn't much an improvment from CS, especially the graphics. The only thing good about it besides CS:S beta is new wads and maps, but that isn't that good because ppl are taking the maps in CZ and making them into CS maps.

I found out that people subscribing to the Steam cafes and people who have CS: Condition Zero on Steam will get CS: Source beta for free on their Steam. That alone is making me buy CS: Condition Zero!

If you don't believe me check out the news on the Steam site. The news came out about 2 weeks ago, but I just noticed it yesterday.

In the first a leap of faith you were returning from aligning the emitters. It only lasted about a minute. It was when you had to leap into the portal back to earth while all the enemies were appearing and shooting at you.
