I dunno.. germans?

Leave 'em all and grab a nine and BLAST THEIR ASS

This is awesome.

whoa man what language is that, is that like, european?

ELECTRONICA > INSTRUMENTAL

YEAH THAT'S RIGHT

... fight naked. In mud.

For Steam, the paks have been replaced by steam Game Cache Files (.GCF). Use nem's GCFScape to extract stuff from them (they're in your steamapps folder).

Muzz, you really ought to stop advicing people to look in their pak files... no one uses WON Half-Life anymore. There's no reason to.

I don't really watch TV, I just download stuff. House, Futurama, Simpsons, House. Just watched "One Day, One Room" (S03E12), kicked much ass. Reminded me of Mindwalk in a weird sort of way.

Movies, I'm not really looking forward to anything. Downloaded "Bender's Big Score" yesterday, apparently that's supposed to be good (meh), but I dunno, straight to DVD movies suck, as a general rule.

I hate all maths. Especially now, since we have a huge fail azn teacher who can't teach for shit. We had a test like 2 days ago and I'm pretty sure no one got above 50% correct answers.

Did you read the entity guide on the subject? It explains it pretty neatly.

This is exactly like DotA, you know. Add some item shops and weapon recipes and you're set.

I want to play as a terrorist blowing himself upp killing dozens of inncoent people. It'd be an awfully short game, though. ALLAH AKBAR.

I am loving this. On the effects side, less coffee moar blood!
As for a weapon, CROWBARRRRRRRRR, arrr... Honour your Black Mesian heritage! Or a machete or something, melee weapons are cool.

Please learn the difference between Kb and KB. 200 Kb/s is is 25 KB/s.

Other than that, nice one.

Don't be dissin ye olde scat porn.

Age: 17
Children: No
Country: Sweden, Stockholm

1. Types, hours? FPS, Strategy, RPG, Adventure, Action... anything. And second, around 1-2hours a day (~11 a week)? I spend a lot more than that using the computer, just not playing games.

2. Hobbies? Does web design count?

3. Violent? No. Not at all.

4. ESRB? Age ratings suck, et all. I think it should be up to responsible parents to decide which games their kids should play. Recommended ages are fine, but in some cases they're too high. You don't need to be 18 to pretend to shoot people in the face.
Simply banning games like in Germany or Australia because of violence is ridiculous and nothing more than censorship.

5. Children? I'd let them play whatever they wanted and observe the effects. If suddenly, my kid would start acting out GTA I'd probably be concerned. But as long as they displayed a healthy mental state, I'd be fine with whatever.

6. Parents monitored? Not really. I did have time-limitations and stuff, but nothing because it was too violent. My dad bought me Red Alert (with a Mature-rating) when I was 7.

7. Media held liable? No. It's up to the parents. We can't go around censoring the media unless there's firm, solid evidence that it causes brainfuck in kids. As far as I know, such evidence is pretty rare.

MINE ENGLISHES HAS FAILING

Is using google's Define cheating?

Ending? Make the player ride to his death on a platform straight into fire. Only this time, the player can't escape. Wheee!

That's not what radius means... radius basically means how much it will deviate on the way to its target, similar to the noise value. Noise, however, means how much tiny arcs and cracks the beam will make. A high radius would mean the beam makes big turns and arcs on the way to its target.

To achieve a sense of randomness, use several info_targets with the same name and the beam will strike a random one. Not tried this myself, but I think that's how it works, anyway.

Banning maps because they weren't named properly, then whining about not enough people entering? See the correlation?

For once, I'm with Trapt.

BSPTwoMap is, afaik, the best decompiler around for GoldSource. Finding a working download link might prove tricky.

Are there any advantages of Vista? At all?

Except, like, DX10 which I can't use anyway... are there ANY useful perks you can't get easily in XP?

Well, fuck off, anyway.

why would you run Vista? <:/

Hunter's isn't Vista, it's a styled XP. Duh.

Yes... clearly...

Turn them into block entity (ctrl+T), such as func_wall, set render mode to solid, render amount to 255. Perhaps you should read some tutorials.

I say the more ads the better. Smart people have adblock, anyway, so only dumb IE-fags will suffer from them.

And yes, oxihosting = win. Surl.se is a good imagehost, too.

It's pretty simple.
CPU
Choose from:
AMD or Intel? (Pretty much equal)
There's all sorts of new processors (CPUs) coming out all the time, I really can't tell you what to get. There's a huge selection, varying in frequency (measured in GHz), number of cores, etc.

Mobo
Consider:
Socket - depends on CPU type. Different CPUs uses different sockets.
PCI-e - depends on graphics card. All new graphics cards use PCI-e.
SATA or IDE - depends on hard drive. All new hard drives use SATA.
RAM Slots - how many RAM sticks do you plan to stick in there?

Graphics card
Choose from: ATi or nVidia. Again, pretty much equal.
Consider: DX10 compatability. Does it have it? Getting a DX10 card is a good investment, seeing as how most new games take advantage of it. However, the prices are still a bit quirky, and both ATi and nVidia are releasing budget versions of their prime DX10 cards.

Then again, for your price range, maybe a last-gen graphics card would be optimal? Very powerful, but not DX10-compliant, cards are available for as low as $80 these days. I'm talking Radeon X1800 and the like. They're more than enough to run source and most new games (they do have SM2 support, probably 3 too), so one of those might be a better choice.

RAM
Consider: How much do you want, basically? Anything less than 2 Gigabyte can't run Vista, but 1 Gig is more than enough for Source.
Brands: Corsair is considered the best RAM brand around (afaik). There're a lot of generic brands out there.

Peripherals

• Sound card? If you have a good sound system (5.1 setups and stuff), you might wanna invest in a good sound card. If you don't, just go with the onboard mobo sound, in my opinion.

Use guides and reviews, like on Tom's Hardware when choosing hardware components. For instance, their graphic card comparisons and recommendations are great. Their "Best-hardware-for-your-money of the month" thingy is especially great when hunting budget cards.
It's a jungle, I know. But there's really not that much to it when you get down to it.

If there's any mistakes or embarassing omissions that people notice, please do correct me. Hardware never was my strongest point.

YOU LOOOOOOOOOSE
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA

No, we didn't miss it, everyone ever has already seen it.

If the graphics card doesn't fit in the motherboard, just cut the gold stuff off so it fits.

And we've had it since TWHL was started. You people, jeez.

I think companion cube's the best one. What do you think twhl?

they got condemned to death, but a girl saves them in exchange of they have to go and help her to find a mysterious samurai "that smells like sunflowers"

Anime plots are so ridiculous it makes me itchy. It's like they're ALL from the Generic Japanese Plot Book of Shit. Reminds me of Final fantasy, except it's not fun because you don't get to play anything, you just watch cartoons do ridiculous things. Shit.

But yeah, Ghibli's stuff is gud.

Well, multiplayer is fucking fail and this is much better. Kthxbai.

The advance chambers are pretty easy, yeah.
The challenges... are not. Seriously. I haven't managed to get a gold medal on ANY of the challenges.

Some good maps here. That site also has tutorials on how to map for portal and whatnot. I've set portal mapping up but haven't really felt inspired. So far I've just made boxes for flying around in.

Also, Strider is wrong.

What.

Were there any jokes? Is it supposed to be funny?

VNV Nation - Genesis

FUCK YEAH GERMAN EBM.

I think Luke has a point. (Some) hardcore TFC fans didn't like TF2 because they changed a lot. I never played TF or TFC much, so I guess I'm viewing TF2 as any other multiplayer FPS - and in that aspect, it's awesome.

but it doesn't feel like a "true" TF game to me

You mean, you're disappointed that it doesn't suck, like the earlier parts of the series?

Use XP. There's a suggestion for you.

I've never written or worked with C++, but needs {}? I.e. should be

else if (s == 59) {
s = 0;
m++; }

How about giving up on TWHL3 cause it's never gonna happen.

in other news, people are now classified into two groups:

111111111111111111111

x700s do not have SM3 and neither do x800s.

Major fail on ATi's behalf.

Yup. I have an X850, without SM3 support. Pretty sucky, since the X1700+ cards aren't that much more powerful hardware-wise but do support SM3. Oh well.

Uh... correct me if I'm wrong, but you can only use RAM sticks with matching capacity. So yeah, that'll probably show up as 1 gig or not at all.
