Well, i now have a 2 week half-term break. Although there are actually no plans for it...How sad
Since i've finally 'cleaned the slate' on my new computer im going to have to reinstall some old programs i enjoyed (Hammer, HL, Pinball...) And get some new ones in.
And also, i just had a large portion of chips with a 1/4 pound burger...
Thats pretty much it for today..

Three Years and one day ago I registered at TWHL.
Time has flown since the early days where there were 12 members. (and I think most of them were made up
So what has happened?
Heaps.. new look, new administrators and heaps of new talent. Not to mention 2674 new members
On the anniversary of my third year of involvement, I would like to take time to thank Atom for starting the site, Seventh, Rabid, and Ant for their continued dedication in keeping it going and a special thanks to my old mate SlayerA.
As for you lot.. Yeah, you lot.. the members, if it wasn't for you this site wouldn't be here..
Thanks,
Andy
No, thankyou! - Ant
Thank-you indeed! Glad you're still here and pleased with us - Alex

a few people have asked why I have HL2 but don`t map for source.
reasons:
1)HL textures don`t fit my lab stye mapping(mayby when this black mesa source is done i`ll see if i can use theres)
2)2 many things i don`t understand- e.g logic_ ?
3)i don`t understand 90% of the animations.
4)info_nodes are to complex and hammer help doen`t give a list of what each setting does.
5)Aliens no longer pop up from nowhere
6)dosn`t have many of my faveriot aliens- bull ckicken , that thing in oposing force that you get that blue electric gun thing. The one that shoots those flys at you. and so on.
7)too many textures. When you can`t find a fitting keyword for what you want (eg ,metal or wood) it takes forever to get from top to bottom of the list by which time i find i forget what I was looking for.(mayby theres a better way of doing it)
8)Hammer lists modle and prop textures!I DON`T WANT THEM!!!
i might map for Fortress Forever if it`s as good as TFC in 6 mounths or so.
if i can get a HL2 level texture pack from black mesa source i might make my HL1 maps in HL2 so i can do better things.

Started modeling a while ago with Gmax and it's great! 
I only know it compiler sucks so I'll use milkshape for that!! 
In another news I stoped spamming...my forum post rate is down by 0.1.
FAQ:
Q: My hammer crashes when I compile my map!
A: If the compiling log whitens out that means it's just working really hard, not crashes! If you wont do anything in the computer while compiling then it wont whiten out. If you get an allocblock:full error in the compiling log that means you don't have enough virtual memory to compile!
1)Don't do a thing in the computer while compiling.(worked for me with my winning compo entery)
2)If that doesn't work,get batch compiler.(a compiling tool that uses less memory the ZHLT and it's not connected to hammer)
3)If nothing works then you're busted!
Get more virtual memory or remove those hard to render spot or spots from your map.

11.8 logins a day? Stupid me!
Hello evilsod_2k! This is your 400th login.
Well, I've joined TWHL at last. Hey there all. I'm just here to make some fun maps. Project 1: A School. I had fun destroying the poorstore in Garry's Mod, so now it's time to trash a school!
I plan to make my first map soon, called "Boxtop's Spacestation." Poetic, I know. The basic plot is that you're a guy who works on a Spacestation and is getting ready for a specimen extraction mission on a planet below (not Xen, although Xen wildlife will be there since I can't model for beans.) I'm to add some funny bits here and there (i.e. a couple scis watching Tellitubbies and some others playing Yu-Gi-Oh).
Unfortunatly, I'm completely stuck on the layout after Level B of the Station. It would be a chore for the player to waltz all the way from Level C to Level A, so I might have to add an elemavator. Of course, then I wouldn't be able to add the funny. Small steps, I guess.
EDIT: Whoohoo, bizatches! I got my microphone to work, thanks to the miracle of construction paper and the laws of sound!

Hello SpaG! This is your 1111th login.Lots of 1's
I'll probably have two maps ready in another month. One is a SP adventure which still needs an ending. The other is a new type of horror map. Once I'm done with these two I'll probably start on Night Things 3.

Well I recently joined a mod :
www.gang-life.com
All is well...
Nearly HR 17 (Thats like level 17 in RPG games) but very good because max is HR 20 and I need like 50,000 EXP to lvl up.
Site has been slightly updated!
Me and Hunter seem to be playing DM a lot with planes
I decided that i'm going to get back to the mapping so my next map is for CS:S as de_boshi was quite successful!
I started thinking what map I should make and I wanted something new so it hit me while I was humming a tune.

I already started working out custom textures thanks to Moppen and the layout is yet to be decided.
