Adding now
It's that time again people. I would like to officially state that I am pretty fucking excited about this game.
(You can also see how cold it is my little English hometown. 
)
)You can run GTA4 on low settings on a pretty basic system. My old PC ran it ok on low settings with the occasional FPS drop.
Unfortunately, whether its down to bad optimisation during the PC port or not, GTA4 needs nothing short of an entirely top of the range system to play on High/MAX settings.

You're obviously misunderstanding the intent here UrbanbelaNo?
it will be extrememly hard but I'm trying it alone so I can be more experienced when working on more serious projectsIf the intention is to improve his skills in order to use them serious projects, the first thing to do would be to stop using paint. It is a terrible program and he should not be using it while trying to develop his skills in graphic design.
Also, you got my name wrong. Your point is now irrelevant.
Point lights are evil. End off. If I can help it I only use textlighting. I supposed for lights you can toggle then it can't be helped.
Well, I know I'm going to watch every episode of "Extra Credits" from now on. Well written, fun sketchy graphics and they obviously have experience relevent to the subject matter.
I have never and will never play a pirated game. The concept of trying the full game for free and seeing if you like it is not how the world works. That's like going to a resturaunt, eating a meal, and then refusing to pay because it's not as nice as you expected it to be. Bollocks.
I don't pre-order unless a title can prove to me that it is not going to be shit, before it has been reviewed. As such I have never pre-ordered a game.
I read reviews, watch gameplay vids, or (despite the lack on PC these days) play demos. Basically I do my research.

One thing I will say about working on a serious project is: Don't use MSPaint.

That is pretty sweet. Would make combat interesting. 
Might as well jump in. I desperately need a Widescreen monitor.
Unusually colourful for me. ^_^
So what do you guys think about mods going commercial and having to be purchased through Steam?
It happened to Raindrop and now it's happening with Dear Esther. I also heard rumours that the new They Hunger on the Source engine was to be a commercial release right before they stopped updating the site and vanished off the face of the Earth.
Personally, I have mixed feelings. For one, I'm glad for the creators because I guess it means they will get some payoff for their hard work. Then again, I hate it because I rarely have the extra cash sitting around to actually purchase games or expansions. I was looking forward to playing Dear Esther's remake in all its glory and now I'm going to have to resort to it's ugly, outdated version.
Muh. ?_?

modvault and worldvault are both available in everything except .com
Also: I think this is a cool idea though. I would love to get into the UDK but I'm happily settled with the TWHL community and don't fancy getting involved with another.
It would be nice to have a place for people to put their skins and models too.
Oooh, and a big reviews section.
Maybe a weekly / monthly podcast / video.
and a pool...

You have to be dumb to say that parallax mapping is awfulSame goes for people who ignore it's mass of flaws. It's buggy and the overall effect is not worth the massive performance cost.
That's parallax mapping in that DN3D shot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01owTezYC-w
It's a cool effect but when seen in game and in motion the illusion is slaughtered. Decals float over areas that are supposed to be deep in the texture and when you look at a corner it looks perfectly flat, again destroying the illusion.
You can enable this effect in the Ep1 engine and Black Mesa was using it for a while before they decided against it.
The best examples of parallax mapping are when it is used in smaller areas as opposed to whole buildings and world textures. FEAR, Fallout 3/New Vegas, and GTA4 simply use it on decals, and that is as far as it should ever go.

We all know you would ?_?
Why did they removed parallax mappingIt was buggy as sin and made decals look like they were floating. ssbump looks awesome imo
I... This is...
I can only assume that you are going to check for the winner by downloading each mod listed and counting there map files? Nobody has that much time on there hands right? I am a complete nerd / internet junky, and even to me, that is very very sad...

As usual I'm making things as clear as mud at night. :rly:
Lets say you have the word 'bump' in 3d letters on a flat surface. If you applied a bumpmap to make the lettering higher than the background the edges would be highlighted as per the left hand picture. With ssbump, it would also simulate the shadow the lettering would cast if it were a solid 3D object as seen in the right hand pic.

ssbump means Self Shadowing Bumpmap. Basically, with a standard bumpmap, raised sections of the texture are highlighted by light. With an ssbump applied, the raised section will also cast a shadow across the lower parts of the texture.
Why map from a template. Why not mix it up and say, make a map using nothing other than textures from a custom WAD (to be provided)
I would be nice to hear from Valve about Ep3. Personally, I don't see it happening until after Black Mesa is done and dusted. ?_?
Would be nice to face some truly intelligent enemies though. The combine soldiers and synths getting a brain boost can only be a good thing.

Looking good Soup.
No company in the world has gotten rich simply by charging huge amounts for their products. There's always something beyond the high price that accounts for its popularityGimmicky glossy bricks and the ability to say "Oh yeah I got one of those."
The iPad is just a laptop without a keyboard that you have to smear with greasy fingerprints all day long for fucks sake.
Just realised this started over 2 years ago. 
...but yeah, post up some fresh and full details and I'll start planning stuff out.

Bad Company 2 (Online Multiplayer)
Went back to it this evening after getting pissed off with the Vietnam expansion. There is no skill to Vietnam at all. With the spotting system, all you have to do is aim for the blip on your HUD and your bound to get a kill since all the buildings are made of paper or some shit like that. Utterly pointless.
The original BC2 hasn't lost it's charm. At they keep adding new stuff to it. Played 3 new maps today and each one is a drastic improvement over the ones in the initial release.
Played with Archie on TeamSpeak, while both of us were drinking. If there is anything more funny to listen to than a pissed of Scotsman, it's a pissed of Scotsman, slightly under the influence, chasing an enemy tank down the street with nothing but a C4 charge in his hand.
I haven't brought myself to go back to Uncharted 2 yet. I'm fairly sure I'm near the end but the combat in the game is so flat that it can get sooo boring after a few minutes. The cinematic sections are fantastic though, and fortunately, there are more of them than there are combat sections.

Good to see people are willing to open up to their community these days...
I live in the UK and I completely agree with Strider. :rly:
I am not saying that smart phones are not useful, but the prices they ask for the bloody things is outrageous. If it dropped down to say ?40 or something, and didn't cost even more money to use the net, I MIGHT be interested.
Note: My hatred for Apple goes far beyond the iPhone. I just think that it is a money-grabbing, shit-stain of a company.

It's a really decent PHONE and has all the features I have come to expect from a PHONE. It MAKES AND RECEIVES CALLS and has TEXT MESSAGING. ?20 on the high street.
I also have a digital camera that I use for taking photos and I have a Desktop PC and a laptop to play games and connect to the internet.
Want: Nothing to do with any smart phone ever.
(Did I mention how much I hate apple? )

Seriously JeffMOD, use the compilator. It is so much more efficient and the improvements to lighting and such are so worth it. I will never compile with Hammer again.
If it weren't for my stack of projects, meager amount of spare time and the fact that I am about as organised as a terrier's arse hair, I would apply.
I have some MOTM reviewing experience (which I really need to pick up again)
@Daubster: OiFH was a doomed project from the off. It certainly hit the ground running but failed to stop at the big red traffic light labeled "COMEDY MODS NEED TO ACTUALLY BE FUNNY" and got hit by a bus.

I challenge Dimbark to Run GTA4 at max settings.
You have a lot of RANDOM SHITE on your desktop UrbyNot really. All the random shite goes into my RANDOM SHITE folder. Everything else is there for ease of access. Not that it matters really seeing as I'm getting a clean slate soon.
Looks shit. 
Low-Def
As apposed to Gearbox High-Def

Now Playing: Fallout: New Vegas.
I'm in favour of Fallout 3 / New Vegas and GTAIV personally. Just Cause 2 is unavailable to me for now because it's stuck up it's own arse with DX10 (I'm running WinXP still). I only ever played the demo of Just Cause 1 and I hated it.
GTAIV is appealing to me for its physics system, Euphoria. It is the only game that fully utilises it at the moment which is a huge shame because so many games could benefit from it and enhance it. It makes online dicking around sessions all the more hilarious.
Fallout 3 is astounding if RPG's are your thing. I think too many people expect it to play like an FPS, which it really isn't. If it were then it would be STALKER (the less said about that tripe the better ).
New Vegas was slandered to high heaven by the console tard market and at the end of the day, I'm not surprised. It is not a console friendly game. It is a hell of a lot better than Fallout 3 mechanics wise. The factions system and weapon upgrades and hours of unmarked quests and locations make it so addictive.
As for consoles, adventure games such as Uncharted 2 are prefect. I think I'm nearly finished with it but it's been a blast so far. The camera work and effects mean that the missus can watch it like an action movie while I play.

Oh for the love of God. I'm going to say this as calmly as I can.
Never EVER use yellow lighting. It is vile in Goldsource and Source alike.
Nice to see that Ant details his levels in the same way I do. Everything has a story, and a purpose.

@Unbreakable: I'm thinking I'll benchmark it with GTA4. Then I'll be downloading all the new games I got around Xmas that I couldn't run. (Mafia 2, Dragon Age and some others)
So your sources are an asian news site (whose other top stories include some guy fingering his ladyfriend in a nightclub) and 2 conspiracy websites? Make sure to read the one about 9/11 being an inside job. I hear it's a corker.
Been 2011 for all of 11 minutes here.
Not much difference as far as I can tell...
Leave it with me and I'll get back to you.
