Yeah!! My 1000th login!
Edit: My 1001th login!
Going back to dm_combo (my latest released map) i am applying a major improvement on the architecture, texturing and the r_speeds. Good tips skals and MuzzleFlash. This time my map has a combination of slow and fest paced deathmatch. On the insides are slow paced; and the outside exposed parts fast paced.
I will be posting my WIP in the WIP thread...soon hopefully

A lovely little list of puns I found. Thought they'd be make for a nice little change. Some of them aren't too bad even.
1. The roundest knight at King Arthur's round table was Sir Cumfrence. He acquired his size from too much pi.
2. I thought I saw an eye doctor on an Alaskan island, but it turned out to be an optical Aleutian.
3. She was only a whisky maker, but he loved her still.
4. A rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of math disruption.
5. The butcher backed into the meat grinder and got a little behind in his work.
6. No matter how much you push the envelope, it'll still be stationery.
7. A dog gave birth to puppies near the road and was cited for littering.
9. Two silk worms had a race. They ended up in a tie.
12. Atheism is a non-prophet organization.
13. Two hats were hanging on a hat rack in the hallway. One hat said to the other, 'You stay here, I'll go on a-head.'
14. I wondered why the baseball kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
15. A sign on the lawn at a drug rehab center said: 'Keep off the Grass.'
16. A small boy swallowed some coins and was taken to a hospital. When his grandmother telephoned to ask how he was, a nurse said, 'No change yet.'
17. A chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.
19. The short fortune-teller who escaped from prison was a small medium, at large.
20. The man who survived mustard gas and pepper spray is now a seasoned veteran.
23. When cannibals ate a missionary, they got a taste of religion.
24. Don't join dangerous cults, practice safe sects!

I'm now running the final compile on Lab11_LavaLab ... or at least I was until I remembered something I wanted to include. One quick 18-hour recompile coming up. sigh
In other news, I said something a couple of Journal posts back about tweaking the HL SDK to prevent people from using buttons (or, more importantly, health chargers) through solid walls. I made some preliminary code available online since somebody asked for it, but I finally came to the realisation that it was my revised code that was preventing one of the switches in my level from working. (I ran the level under standard HL/valve and the switch worked fine!)
I have now fixed the flaw in the code, and made it rather more streamlined in the process. I can't find a problem with what I've done (although there is bound to be one, so use at your own risk!)
My modified code is here:

I got CoH: OF about a week ago and have enjoyed it since. I despite the game for dragging me away from my projects. I modded my CoH to obtain large pop. capacity so I can mass defense against 4 Expert AIs. 
I submitted this screenshot for Interloper 'Dream' Map Battle Idea was to display gnomes and their haven. Now it would be great if I could give them different emotion and posing which I can't because I'm not modeler.

Real time reflections:
Inside the tube:
Late, I know, but whatever; I think Valve is really making an great effort to put the source modding community on spot like it once was with goldsource, yet they stimulate the current development of modding which I think is a somewhat negative development. For the simple fact they give mods a oppertunity to be hosted on steam and so opening them for a larger audience than they would have had when they weren't hosted I give them my thumbs up. However, the mods (5 atm, 5 more to come and perhaps more) that get hosted are big, populair and mostly total conversion mods with well-known concepts done so much before. That raises the modding standard once again which, for me, is a negative development. In the 'modding scene' there has been created this feeling of releasing a total conversion mod at first release. This is stimulated by gamers. Mods with a great concept but with stock HL2 enviroment won't be played anymore (unless it's something revolutionary), no, everything has to be custom at start, only then it is worth a play.... that's basicly the thought nowadays. This somewhat dissapoints me, because this puts many great ideas to sleep. Don't get me wrong, I like all those incredibly custom mods that get released (well, a lot I don't like actually, to name 2.... Insurgency is again a releastic middle-east shooter, Zombie Panic is sigh yet another Zombie game - I swear that people are fascinated with zombies) but I miss all those wacky smalltime mods people all gave a try back in the goldsource days. So yeh, i'm on a bit of hate-love feeling about the hosting of mods on Steam.
On a other note, Jailbreak! released a bunch of media from 0.5 - it is now a total conversion. Dinosaurs versus Robots, how random and brilliant is that! I'm a beta tester (woot, in one of the screenshots I make a comment in chat under 'Freshy Fresh' - LULZ, I R FAMOUS BIATCHES!) and I saw the mod grow. There have been quite a bunch of gameplay changes aswell, but all for the better i'd say. Personally, i'm a big fan of this mod (simply for the arcadish lulz supported by solid competitive gameplay) and hopefully it will be one of the next 5 mods to be hosted on steam. Anyhows anyways, you guys should give it a try when 0.5 releases. The community is very friendly and always welcoming newcomers. http://www.jailbreaksource.com/
Hehe, I think this has to be one of my longest posts on TWHL ever.

Latest Team Fortress 2 blog entry is made of win.

I love the clip of the Scout going "He's like a bear! He's like a big, shaved, bear that hates people!".
God I love the creators of TF2.

I've been playing Saints Row 2 today (bar the morning due to female socialising) and It's pretty good! I was hoping it wouldn't be shit since Saints Row 1 was awesome.
It's pretty much Saints Row 1, but with airplanes, helicopters, base jumping, motorbikes and lots more!
So far there is only one dissapointment which is due to GTA:IV having such realistic driving, when you play Saints Row 2, it feels like the cars have super gripping tyres.
I also pre-ordered Farcry 2 and L4D, so all of this has set me back a little.
But who needs a car anyway.

Hm well my first compo26 entry for hl1 is almost complete. here are some screenshots:
i couldnt quite finish it completely because my hammer is bugged. sometimes when i trigger game_texts those things just bug up and crash the game... anyways theres something i wanted to ask:
is it possible to trigger level change via entities not brushes? so that i can trigger one with a multimanager?

20 years old today. Strange feeling knowing you're exactly two decades old, and only one decade away from being 30. D:
As promised, although a week or two late, I have finally retrieved some pictures of my tail lights on my car.
Keep in mind these were taken on my cell phone, which I dropped about a month ago, cracking the lens, so the blurs in the right of all the pictures is from that.
And yes, I know my car was dirty. It rains every time I get it washed, and I typically have to park it on the street, so it's covered in dew every morning, and the school parking lots consist mainly of dirt and gravel.
