Hmm, I can't tell whether you're joking.
The caduceus symbol is one of the most ancient symbols in human history, dating back 6,000 years to Mesopotamia.
There were snakes back then, but no airplanes.

Leaks cause defects in the rendering of the compiled map, most notably in the lighting.
If your lighting improves with a leak, then you're not lighting your maps optimally. You shouldn't use a mistake to increase the overall brightness of your map; two wrongs do not make a right.

Nice! How goes the piloting, satchmo?I'm halfway to my first solo, which is a big deal.
I've flown to three different airports so far.
I will be a commercial pilot by the end of next year.
I already have the caduceus symbol tattooed on my chest. It's an ancient symbol representing commerce, transport, and more recently, medicine.
This is literally my current desktop.
I think you may need to add nodes to delineate the area where the sound is audible.
I don't remember exactly how to do this, since I haven't mapped for ten years.

I just may be the oldest guy here. I turn 50 this year. My son is older than some of you (he's 15).

For the love of Lambda, this holds a special place in my childhood.
I named my betta fish Lambda, by the way.

Lost Coast took place in Ravenholm.
The first few sunset photos reminded me of Far Cry 2 for some reason.
And the last one could be the inspiration for Ravenholm.

Religion, a science of the mind, translated meaning would be "a way of which ones life is led" is present in every man, woman and child.I think you're referring to the Force. When you quote Yoda, you need to credit him properly.
Regarding drinking piss, do not knock it until you tried it. It's perfectly sterile, unless you have an UTI.

Editing existing map is a good way to learn.
For example, I adapted a map from the official Half-Life 2 single player campaign into a deathmatch map in *dm_tidal*

Wow I havent heard that in years! When I was in Iraq in 2007, we had a little computer room (no internet) with Pocket Tanks installed on all of them. It brought comfort during those dark times. Super cool menu music.Sometimes we all need a little escape from reality.
My son plays the violin, and we played this game together. We listen to it often.
I highly recommend this game too.

I got "Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons" years ago, but the two-handed keyboard control daunted me so much that I gave up in frustration.
Fast forward five years. My son is now 12, and he's so much more dexterous than I am (it helps that he's actually ambidextrous, writing with his right and eating with his left). I loaded up the game for him to play, and he mastered the control within minutes.
I got to experience the game vicariously through him. I joined him toward the second half of the game, controlling the Big Brother while he controlled the Little Brother. We shared one of the most memorable gaming experience together.

Their interpretation is nothing like the original Xen, which was a barren and isolating place. I am perfectly fine with the changes they made.
It's been decades since the original HL came out, and it just makes sense to re-imagine the old concept.

When you say "about to be released", does that mean it has an actual release date or is it still a vague "coming soon"?Still pretty vague as far as I know. But it sure looks like they have the bulk of the content ready for prime time.
The final chapter of the Black Mesa project is about to be released.
Four years after the initial release, Black Mesa is finally near completion.
Here is the new video to whet your appetite.

Well, film makers and authors cannot cater to the lowest denominators. So game designers should not compromise their artistic integrity to those who cannot appreciate the design process either.
Well, not quite HL3, but close enough.
Wow! Evil Genius 2 looks awesome. I love the Despicable Me/Incredible art design.
Both you and the show are changing.
I actually attended E3 two years ago, the first time that the convention was opened up to the general public. It helps that it's only a 30-minute train ride away from my house.
It was interesting to be actually inside (I've been oogling outside the convention hall for years prior), but overall it was a let down. To be able to play the latest games, you have to wait in line for hours. It's basically Disneyland for geeks.
I don't feel like waiting in line, but I did meet some independent game developers. That's the highlight of my visit.

I just read through all that.
You have so much enthusiasm, and you're willing to learn from your mistakes. Those attributes can take you far.
Keep going and keep learning. You still need more structure and planning before embarking on a project. Having a strategic plan will save you time and frustration.
You still have much to learn, young Padawan.

I put the bsp in the hl2/maps folder, but I got a lot of texture errors.
It must be in the wrong directory.
Which folder do I place the bsp in?

I will sponsor the winner again, via a US$100 Steam gift certificate. 
My son and I are still playing lots of Minecraft. We experimented with various mods, but now we're sticking to the Vanilla version.
We're designing houses in various architectural styles--modern, mid-century, medieval, craftsman, etc.

We can finally utilize the polling function for something beside the color blue.
Congratulations winners! Great stuff indeed.
As promised, I'll be sending an electronic Amazon gift card to the top prize winner.

to the "Outer World", it's Bioshock meets Mass Effect.
I am actually playing No Man's Sky now. After years of derelict, this game is showing a sign of life finally. It was laden with hype and deceit when it was released, but after repeated updates, it's gaining some traction again.

There's nothing more satisfying than having friends play my maps and give me feedback.
Mapping is the closest thing I've experienced to being in the flow.

I listen to a classical music station on the radio, and they regularly feature soundtracks from video games and movies.
I still think the end credit song for Portal, "Still Alive", was the most memorable game soundtrack.

Whatever the color scheme, it needs to be consistent, and reflect functionality. Blue should always indicate links, and orange should be non-functional screen elements.
In most sites that have a forum preview on the front page, there would be a link that takes you directly to the most recent post in the thread. I can't find that here.
When I click on the "replies", it just takes me to the original post in the thread, but I'd rather jump to the latest post.

Doom was one of the first games I played when it was released back in 1993. It was leaps and bounds beyond Wolfenstein 3D in terms of gameplay and ambiance.
Unfortunately, Doom 3 was a fall from grace. The most recent reincarnation revived the classic series, and I am eager to see what Id has done with it.

Looks like another lackluster year.
There might be 37 people attending while everyone else is playing Fortnight at home.

I would take my son, except that E3 has a no-one-under-18 policy.
I actually attended E3 last year, when they opened it up to public for the first time.
Finally, I was inside on the floor, but the lines to play the new games were way too long to be worth the wait.
So I attended the announcements, which was pretty cool. But the best part of the convention was talking to the independent game developers directly. They are a scrappy bunch, but they are also the most passionate about what they're doing.
I don't plan to attend this year, because the price has gone up, and I feel that I had gotten most of what I wanted from it last year already.

I propose moving the Active Users module above the Journals and Wiki Edits modules.
It makes more sense to me that way.
