I feel this is pretty appropriate right now.Probably not 100% accurate, but even being in the ballpark says a lot about just how much "more" radiation is stacked on top of "normal" daily doses.
It's just a matter of being uninformed. To most people, "radiation" means "VERY BAD" in all shapes and sizes. Most people don't really have any idea how much radiation they receive on a daily basis or what the damage threshold is.
Then I will take it by force 
I'm actually already struggling big time with keeping brushes down in my entry. I have two ideas, though. So if this one falls through the floor I can go ahead and give the next one a shot.
I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks

Not going to rush my entry out like some people.

Except most of us seem to be building scenes instead of whole levels.
Impressive entry, Skals.
Edit: Well, I've got my concept ready. I'll go ahead and begin.

PHEW! I should have a nice break from coursework this week, so I'll definitely try to churn out something for this competition.
Seems easy enough. I'm sure I'll be stumped.

@Stu: You said you made your hedge maze map when you were 14. Why not submit that one?
I totally forgot about swapping teams halfway through. Whoops.
In that case, I'm going to throw this one out there:
Great map or greatest map?

You're probably already aware of this, but be REALLY careful about picking balanced maps out of the submissions. The map types give inherent advantages to Ts or CTs.
Most cs_ maps are totally unfair to the CTs because the Ts have high ground + they can camp the round out to win + the CTs usually have to return the hostages to a single point.
De_ maps are a little more fair, but completely unfair for Ts if there's only one bomb site.
As_ maps with one rescue location are, again, completely unfair to CTs.
Edit: I guess team victories don't matter so much if the winnings are dished out completely separate from who actually won the rounds. Still, just try your best to keep it balanced :
Also be wary about only one person getting winnings per map in a team-based game. Players are going to be competing against their own team members for #1 on the server, so kill steals and generally selfish behavior is probably going to happen.

I'm trying to find a map that's both old and not total shit, and I've come to realize that I have never made a map that doesn't look like it was made by a 4-year-old.
And that's very discouraging. So I won't be submitting any maps for this.
I would, however, like to compete.

Edit: Taken to a PM.
Not so much, Captain.
Except I didn;t use sub-unit mapping 
Captain Terror did, though.

Seriously, why hasn't "map from a wad" happened yet? Wasn't it supposed to be the last compo until "map a dream" was opted over it?
Or am I horribly mistaken?
Edit: Must have been. I just found the other thread.

I don't believe you googled it, because the very first result points to the map.

Referencing south park's parody of inception.I haven't seen it.
Don't tell me you haven't seen it.
Crollo, your post doesn't even make sense.
At all.

Map a map within a map.
We need to go deeper.

Map a Dimbark.
On the contrary. Black people are dark matter.

It's possible that the next version of TWHL has some kind of rep system, though.The Steam forums have made every aspect of any kind of rep system disgustingly unappealing in my eyes. I'll have to politely beg you to not implement a rep system.
It's possible that CS crashed and locked your monitor in a smaller resolution (if you play CS in a smaller resolution than your native res). If that's the case, you should just be able to switch it back.
And now a volcano has erupted in Japan. Boy howdy, my future is just looking brighter by the second 
Well that doesn't make much sense at all, because I haven't been affected like that at all yet have never signed up for Image Shack.
Can anyone else not see any images in this thread?

Oh my god...
How can this be happening when we pulled off exactly the same thing with a land map without a hitch.

Imageshack most certainly works without an account, you just can't copy and paste the direct link anymore. Open the image and copy the URL from your address bar instead.
Refresh the thread before posting your edit. If new additions have been made since you started, then move your graffiti over onto the newest wall. It's not that complicated.
Also, here's a bowl of soup wearing headphones. So fucking innovative, I know.

You know what... I can't think of what I'd want to put on it at the moment.
Sure why not. Give me a minute or two.
Striker, that is literally exactly the same layout as the current front page.
@Dragos: I don't know about the blueness of the moonlight there. I'd say make it a little less saturated so it looks more like moonlight and less like a blacklight.
@Ninja: TWHL4 is environmentally friendly

I'm sorry, can we please keep these lists condensed for the sake of not making the page 600 kilometers tall? I don't see the benefit of double spacing lists here, it's not exactly a matter of readability unless you're commenting on the track[s]. Or am I just being a nit-picky douche?
Dimbark, I'm going to stop you from doing this before you start thinking it does any good.
Don't ever make a point about how you're a kid, and don't ever make a point about how you're mature for your age. You're doing the former right now. You'll want to do the latter in a year or two.
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, more annoying than a kid who insists, "I'm <insert age here> but very mature for my age. I don't <insert action here> like other kids. I'm better than that." because
1. You aren't better than that. You'll find that most kids around that age have exactly the same mentality.
2. Feeling that you need to outright tell people that you are mature is a sign that you don't believe your actions speak for themselves. People shouldn't need to be told that this whatever-year old kid is mature, they can in fact pick up on it by judging the way the kid behaves.

I uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh really like those colors.
I remember this. Haunting stuff. I've just started playing Silent Hill, lots of good music to look forward to in the series.4 is... different. Just a heads up if you decide to give it a shot.
Personally it's my favorite of the franchise, but hey.
Also:
UT3's version of Forgone Destruction is an astounding piece of DnB.
It's really too bad that a different, much worse version was released on the official OST.
Jesus, what a clusterfuck of links 
I'll give a shoutout to the entire Final Fantasy Tactics OST.
Prologue track
Epic fightin' music example 1
Epic fightin' music example 2
The song you'll spend 99% of the game listening to
The entire Odin Sphere OST also gets an honorable mention.
Extended theme
Even more fightin' music
Slightly less epic fightin' music with acoustic guitar
Study time
As Psilous said, Silent Hill always had fantastic soundtracks.
SH3 - Hometown
SH4 - Room of Angel You're a prick if you don't like this song.
SH:O - ORT
SH:O - Blowback
Bah! How could I forget the Braid OST?

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Dark World:3
Quite relaxing, really.
Uncharted 2 - Road to ShambhalaBadass.
Great way to end the game, really amps up at the end.
Beyond Good and Evil - Home Sweet HomeChrist that's catchy.
Some more great chilled out music. The atmosphere of Hyllis is just perfect.
Perhaps you've seen it on the Google homepage.
An earthquake registering an 8.9 hit the coast of northeastern Japan. The resulting tsunami pretty much wiped out Sendai.

TRON: Legacy
I have to say I was very satisfied, and I believe Legacy is a worthy sequel to the original cheeseball flick. All right, there were more than a handful of corny clich?s and obvious reality holes. You'd really have to suspend disbelief to thoroughly enjoy Tron.
The film was damn pretty, though. I'd recommend it to anyone just for the eye candy alone. Seeing the first beforehand is absolutely not necessary, but it will certainly put Legacy into perspective.
Also, Olivia Wilde's character was smokin'

The blurring you get from Paint is something totally different, Dimbark. That blurring is actually the image being compressed to take up less space on the hard drive. Not compressed in pixel dimensions, but compressed in more complex ways. The blurs are called compression artifacts.
The blurs here are from an actually smaller image being resized to fit the object it's applied to.
Edit: or maybe that's not what you were talking about.

Goldsrc does weird things with textures that don't match certain dimensions.
If the width or height isn't a square of 2 (2, 4, 8, 16, and so on) the texture gets mutilated. So in this case, 96 isn't a square of 2. I bet it will look a lot sharper is you resize it to be 64x64 or 128x128.

You need a bigger monitor, Zeeba 
WCD: What sort of dirty communist has their start menu at the top of the screen?It's been that way for a few years now. I can't stop now this is bat country!
And now I have to recapture Hammerfest.
This is probably the most annoying mission ever. Why kind of asshole thought it would be fun to give you 3 missile-firing vehicles and then pit you against a bunch of rocket infantry? You can't even squash them because you're using hovercraft.

Going back in time.
To be honest, it sounds a little bit like Tiberian Sun, but that could also just be because I'm playing it right now. I never played many RTS games, but it at least fits the criteria.
