Scouring out my emails, I came across this gem when I realised I still wanted proof I got my youtube fix almost 8 years ago.
I posted this on a video of the demolition of a couple cooling towers at a nearby decommissioned NPP.

I shouldn't have been allowed on the internet. How the fuck did you guys put up with me for 3 years before that?

Time has come for me to take a step and upgrade to Win8 SP1 (Yes that's what i call 8.1 get over it).
Trying to customize it as much as i can to suit my needs, that is i need it to be as close to 7 as possible, already got the classic start going, removed annoying folders in the Computer window, renamed "This PC" etc...

The only thing that bothers me is the non transparent borders. And the colors they have are really eye popping and none of them seem to work for me. Anyone has any solution to this, maybe make them like 7 ?

Heroes of the Storm is... addictive.
Also a resource eating monster.

This could be a super old glitch or something that's been around since opposing force came to steam or whatever. I just found it and it tickled me.

Kaboom.

Until 2day I only managed to use Valve Hammer Editor to test the physic engine and the behavior of entities and never get to build up a real map. It seems to be a huge and daunting task alltogether.
I made a little combo box with html and Javascript which put in the Windows clipboard the string of the chosen entity to paste in whatever field that needs this bit of info.

Public Service Announcement:
While some of you might have significant others, most of you probably could care less, February is the month of LOVE!

Show your computer some love by tenderly undressing it and exploring it's insides- cleaning as you go ;)

Get yourself a Vacuum, Compressed Air, old toothbrushes and some Arctic Silver!

Re-seat your ram, clean your vents and filters.
For god's sake, at the very minimum clear out your heat sink!
Let your processor go topless and breathe a breath of fresh air while you clean the mating surfaces and ensure maximum heat transfer into the sink.

Or you can end up like me and overtemping your processor to +90C and bringing your lovely machine to it's knees. I cooked the old thermal pad D:

Don't let this happen to you:

Does anyone have any experience with 1440p displays? I'm in the market and would love some recommendations.
I've been looking at the Asus PB278Q, but it's not massively spec'd towards gaming whereas the PG278Q seems to be far more geared towards it. I'm just wondering if the massive price difference is actually going to amount to a big enough difference in image quality for a casual gamer to justify the cost.

Thoughts?

I keep coming up with all these ideas on how a certain game could be so much better. Game mechanics, GUI, anything. I kept thinking there had to be a way to somehow hack the game and throw in all that stuff. Then I realised it was almost like a new version of the game, rather than just a handful of fixes. Then I realised I never did anything resembling game coding and I have no idea how to actually do any of it.

How lame.

Light, without it we wouldn't be able to see. And so it is in videogames. Lights are fundamental, every game have some sort of light, if ever so simple. In todays 3D games, there need to be some way to compute lighting data within 3D space, as volumetricaly most of the light eixst outside of a 2D face where the light is visible. How does the lighting really work in the GoldSrc engine? Does anyone know except for Valve themselves?
This is my theory on how it works:

Of course I can't be sure... But anyone should know.
