Stairs? What's so hard about that? How about a 'model your house in Source' competition? So we could see how hard people try to get their house looking just right. Time to walk around with a digital camera to get some textures. Gardens are extra. XD
No, GIMP is better than photoshop, it's not an alternative.No offense, but no...
To be honest... Life's a b!tch. There's nothing more to it. It's just there. No one is perfect, nor do they have the perfect life. Perfection is impossible. Heh, you know what's funny. How easy it would be for the world to fall apart. Say everyone suddenly went blind....

I will be annoyed not being able to see the HDR goodness, but I may download it just to see what it's like. 
My favourite games console would have to be the Source Engine console. It's so nice and grey and with the nice coloured text.
Geddit? Geddit?!! Hehehee.

Welcome, fellow newbie!
Yeah, but he shouldn't have to do that when clicking the testplay button.
Awesomeness.

It'd be cool getting one of those holographic keyboards. Like these:

Yep, the funky func_'s
Many people do that as their first site, anyway, what your site should do is show off things YOU can do. Things you have created, which can be anything. If you've done any HL maps, post them. If you've created anything you want people to see, post it there. Write articles, tutorials, anything on stuff. That'll get people visiting for a reason.
Whoah whoah. You've got two rooms right? You've drawn a brush connecting them? Good. Make sure the brush cuts through both rooms, then Carve, so the brush cuts a hole in both rooms. Finally, hollow out the corridor brush using a number like 32... 4 sucks.
Terry Pratchett - Going PostalOh, really?? I read the latter... I'll need to read GP then.
Excellent so far, better than Monstrous Regiment.
You desperately should learn some CSS. It makes your sites much more beautiful and your HTML easier to maintain. Also, that site needs a background, or border, or something.
So is this for Source or HL1?
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow... everyone needs a bosom!Ahehee.
Heh, isn't putting a CS:S guy in a Mario style map heading in that direction anyway? 
Interesting.
Heh... while you're at it, why don't we all comment on each other's sites?
Heheheh... no sound needed for the Khan one. But whatishl owns.
Agh... gradient attack!
It's pretty simple once you get to know it. I was actually going to grab the source and make it more pretty and easy, but there you go... anyway. Press S to start the engine, forward to accelerate, back to brake, left/right to steer and A/Z to shift gear up/down. Use number keys (not numpad) 1-0 for camera angles. In-car camera is usually 0.
Er, anyway... it would be cool if you could parent a ragdoll to the player but then no weapons.
Without a joystick or steering wheel, yeah. Otherwise it owns. And for something free, you can't complain.
The Earth has a tilted axis, so when we have summer, we get more exposure and they're tilted farther away from the sun in the southern hemisphere, so... bla bla bla.
Winter's pretty crappy here... it just gets wet.

I hope you're running config.exe, choosing Keyboard/Generic Joystick and clicking Play! On the left side of the window you can see colour-depth, pick 32-bit and fullscreen...
It's not 16-bit...
We'll just meet on #twhl

Yessssssssssssssssss. Finisssssssssh it.
If it's an entire Half-Life mario game, I wouldn't complain. I wonder if I could create Earthbound in Source?
Off topic, satch, how the hell do you asian people remember those characters?! They are so complex, and similar.He said CHINESE not ASIAN. There are MANY countries in ASIA. They do not all read write and speak CHINESE.
Awesome... all we need to do is fix a time.
Hey there, I've been blabbing about this on the Shoutbox, but I wanted to get more people interested. It's an online-enabled driving sim. Open source with really good graphics. I wanted to rally around some people to come play online. I suggest getting the 1975 mini (see the download section) so we can all race each other.

Hey, it's not that hard. Get Source SDK, get Dev-C++, get the Visual C++ compiler and get Dev-C++ to use it, follow the guide I showed you, recompile and voila... you have a 3rd person Half-Life. Plug your level into this!
Terry Pratchett - THUD!
Hmm, well... you can code it yourself. If you've seen the Eclipse mod for HL2, you'll see the entire game is set in 3rd person. You'll have to mod it yourself I'm afraid.

This would look lovely in Source.
Super Smash Bros Melee. Still can't stop playing it.
Get http://audacity.sf.net/ NOW! This is an open-source, excellent sound application, with all the filters/modification tools you'd need. Plus there's the ever-handy noise removal tool.
A brush tree? 
You should be able to do it easy enough in HL2... dunno about HL though.

Just type thirdperson at the console. Type firstperson to go back to normal. You can't move the camera angle around though, so it's stuck behind you. I think you'd have to create your own mod and code the camera position in.
1. Take digital camera.
2. Point at sky.
3. Click!
4. Insert into computer...

Depends on how complex it is. You say 'a model'. I could do a one off, but I'm not a great modeller. What do you need, most importantly?
Yes, I gave it the right offsets and stuff, but it just wasn't right without the hinges and door frame. Maybe I'm using too antique a method. I never tried the prop_Door_rotating, I just attached a brush to func_door_rotating. I'll check out that tutorial too, thanks.
EDIT: Checked out the tutorial, brilliant! Just what I needed.

That's a purdy-lookin map you got there. Really amazing.
