So I finally assembled my brand new pc all by myself.
It's awesome! I haven't even played games yet, but everything seems to be so extremely fast. I had an intel core 2 duo before, and now I've got the best quadcore cpu (3770k) :D, it's literally 10x faster.
My specs:
i7 3770k
cooler master 212 evo
asrock extreme4
gtx 560ti
3x 4gb 1300mhz ddr3 ram
asus xonar dg
NZXT Lexa S
Boy, it was quite hard to assemble this thing, I made a few mistakes here and there, I was even such a genius as to screw the dvd rw drive in the wrong way up, so when I finally got it to work it opened up and I was like... wtf?? RAAAAGE!
But it works perfectly, got everything to work, fans, led's, even fan control, everything works nicely

There was a time when I was better at multiplayer FPS games, and even then I wasn't exceptional, just better than average. Now, I mostly play for fun, and from time to time. Perhaps nostalgia made me do this. I secured my copy.
NASA landed the Curiosity Rover today on mars.
Apparently google knew about it as well.
Anyway.
The landing was successful, images will be coming in as the instruments are being tested. The rover wont move for a few weeks however.

Hello guys, im not sure whether im allowed to use journal to ask for help.
Anyway, my laptop's numpad has stopped working. Now instead of pressing 8 i get the same action as arrow UP, 2 as down, 4 left and so on. There is no numlock key on this thing.
Any help would be appreciated

Thanks guys, sounds as if the layout works pretty damn well. We'll take all your feedback seriously.

To install drag the files in the RAR to the CSS FOLDER.
Uploading files, 10 mins and then I'll post link to .rar and server IP / password which will be hunter because he isn't here :<
I fucked up, playtest will commence in 1 hour.
We're almost ready.
Hey guys, regarding the Counter Strike Playtest. We ran into an annoying problem where my latest models are not working on my mapping partners PC and we need to figure out if that's a problem on his or my end before we can start this.
If we cant figure this out I think we're gonna hide the models via visgroup and just play without them although that'll annoy me since some models act as cover and we need to test that.
I'll keep you posted, sorry.

Imagine if Battlefield 3 had been produced with a much lower audio budget. It might have gone something like this...

This has got to be one of the creepiest fucking ads in existence. The music goes so well with it too.
Whats particularly shocking is that this ad is meant to be serious. Its meant to make people want to eat their Ice Cream. I don't think the management viewed this ad before green lighting it.
Though it is kinda awesome.
Oh yeah, and heres a second ad of theres along the same vibe - Clicky!

Urby sits dutifully at his desk, bashing out code, ignoring the clock and just trying to get through the day. He typed for what felt like forever, on into the night. Night turned to day, which in turn, turned to night again. Spring turned to summer, summer to autumn, autumn to winter.
...and then it was 5 minutes later.
God knows webdev isn't the best activity for making the time fly by.

Final Edit: So I've been working hard on it for the past few days and I'm too tired to sort out the files so I'll see if I can pakrat it all tomorrow but it would be nice if you lot could let me know if you are actually gonna show up or I might as well sleep lol
Wont be anything special, I'll just upload the bsp and put a link here and then I'll host a server and post IP and password and we'll have a few matches. Might add some bots if it is empty.
Edit: So this Sunday at 2:00 PM GMT: refer to this:
http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/
I'll update post with a link to bsp. Turn up or dont turn up, we've decided a playtest isn't needed as much as we thought but we're doing this more for fun now.
Sounds like Sunday is the day people love so what time? Afternoon? Gah timezones etc etc Can someone else calculate it
"tl;dr bottom"
Hey, I've been working on a CSS map for the past few months that was blocked out by Smokerscough who worked on the mod Rock 24 which some of you may remember a few years ago.
My point being, I'm concerned the map hasn't been tested enough and I'm not going to make custom art that fits the level only to find rooms are edited in size so I'm thinking it might be good to host a "small" playmatch between some close TWHL'ers and to get some feedback.
We intend to port this to CS:GO when it's released to take full advantage of the new lighting system. Let me know if you might be interested and what day is good for you. If it comes to it I might just release a compiled version so you can play on your own with bots or something. We just need feedback.
Anyway here's a recent hammer pic and below that an older pic. Note it's playable but visually it's pretty fugly but we're working on it.
Really old pic:
I f**king hate rails. I made them fit these rooms and we ended up changing them so SWOOSH down went my hard work so I stopped making collision models for the time being XD
tl;dr: made css map, want to playtest? say yes / no and a day that suits you.

Enjoy my mouse.
Sooo... when is the TWHL community going to start a full on singleplayer Source development?
I'm sick off all these BETA and horror themed mods that n00b mappers are farting out.

Hello there.
I'm currently staying in the Gold Coast with some family friends, who have a really nice house.
I arrived in Brisbane yesterday, but all we did in that time was find our way here, have dinner, and go to bed. Today however we went to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. While we have been lucky in the past few weeks with regards to seeing interesting wildlife, we saw pretty much the rest of the well known Australian animals. There were a load of koalas, although the two days ago we were doing water tubing at the Proserpine dam, and we saw a koala in a tree there. They are apparently extremely rare in that area, so it wasn't as exciting to see them today. We also did the Green Challenge, in which we climbed along wires and stuff at the treetops. We fed kangaroos as well. Last time I did that was years ago, and the kangaroo I was feeding gave me a big scratch down my arm. Luckily that didn't happen today.
And last but not least (in my mind anyway), there was a machine that lets you punch holes in coins. The machine was actually meant for imprinting designs on copper discs, but the fact that it let you punch a hole in the end result was what I liked. I ended up with a load of 5c coins with holes in them. I might end up making something with them.
Anyway, today was a good day.

Edit: Hired one while I was looking away. Thanks for the attention
I am in need of some advice from someone who has had any experience with web hosting.
A friend of mine needs to set up his new website, and asked if I knew of any reliable web hosts. Unfortunately, I only once was told about 1and1.com which, after further investigation, turns out to be a pretty shady business.
We were looking at several options, but we are not sure which one to go for. He found one that was apparently acceptable, FatCow. But I looked at it and I am not too convinced. So I am asking fellow TWHLers that have dealt with web hosting in the past: Do you know of a decent, reliable web host? What were you experiences?
Any information will be greatly appreciated

Anyone ever experience one of those random strings of pure terrible luck? Well, last night the world was against me something rotten.
I suffer from hay fever and yesterday I was really suffering. I'm also allergic to dust so I decided that hoovering the house would really sweeten the deal. (I didn't think that but it needed to be done)
Later in the evening, my nose was sore, my throat hurt from sneezing, my senses of smell and taste were gone and my head was pounding. I decided I would clear my head by soaking in a nice hot bath. Now, it was getting pretty late so the sun had gone down. Flicked the switch for the bathroom light and POP, lightbulb dies quite a violent death.
"Awww, for f-"
Unscrewed the light globe and tipped the shards into the bin. Go back downstairs, reach down to open the cupboard to get a new bulb, grab the box and as soon as I stand up straight the bottom of the box falls out and the last spare lightbulb in the house falls onto the tiled kitchen floor.
I should mention at this point, that I was barefoot...
