I always did say
I will change my avatar
In 266 years.
But I am thinking
It may be time for a change
Fawkes is forgotten.
Two Thousand and Nine
I last changed my avatar.
It is time for change.
The joke has grown stale.
I wrote four of the haikus
Where two could suffice.

We once had a thread
Habboi was the creator.
It was like this one.

My girlfriend finally managed to build a Nether portal, and it took her to a tiny 3x3 island floating miles away from any other islands. Tee hee. 
You should use this. It's probably possible to carve cylinders and keep everything on grid and free of errors, but not likely at all.
People are greater,

My first proper Source map was never finished. It was for the Sourcey Rooms thread, but the compile times suddenly jumped from around five minutes a pop to the point where even after leaving it for a day it never finished. I think I may have screenshots of it somewhere in this thread.
Found all the people
We play with a Kinect.
I am out of breath.
For some odd reason
I have blood on my finger.
I do not know why.

I went down the stairs.
All the people were missing.
I will go hungry.

I go to college in (what was, it may still be though) the murder capital of Europe. I often take midnight walks into town to get a snack, and I've never felt in danger. Odd.
Personally I think people should be allowed to keep firearms on a university campus with the same rights as anywhere else in the state/country, provided they keep them in a safe of some sort. Or at least keep the ammunition in a safe. What with house parties and drunk people in large gatherings doing silly things. People getting into your room and messing with your stuff is bad enough when that stuff isn't potentially lethal when used irresponsibly.
The laws here in Ireland state that you have to get a firearm license. This applies to anything with a muzzle energy of over 1 joule, whether it's paintball guns or airsoft or whatever. Before 2006, anything at all that fired anything, even Nerf guns, were technically classified as firearms. Deactivated firearms have to be inspected by the local police chief to make sure they're deactivated.
Laws about gun ownership vary depending on how many you own. If you own a single shotgun, you have to store it dis-assembled and with a trigger lock in place. If you have up to three, you have to have a gun safe attached to the building. If you have more than three, or two restricted firearms, the safe has to be in a room with alarms and certified locks.
I think to have a license you need to get consent from the local police chief, who will also have to set a limit to the amount of ammunition you can own and use each year.

I do have too much time on my hands. Here is a Walther GSP Expert target pistol.
It took a bloody long time to do that fancy ergonomic grip. D:
I think you may be missing one.
If you look at the edges of the walls, you would be able to see that there's a gap between the wall and the effect. Using a pyramid stops that from happening.
Maths is always good for mapping, it definitely helped with my Rube Goldberg map. And that definitely looks good. I dunno how you did it. :0
Sometimes I think I have too much time on my hands:
I looked at this thread and went "What?"
And then I looked closer at the pictures and realised and went "WHAT!"

A few days ago I had a dream where I had a magic wand, there seemed to be rules to its use, but generally I was able to do pretty much whatever I wanted. The first thing I did was when I made cocoa and flour and stuff appear so I could make myself a brownie. I don't remember much else, except that near the end I tried to make myself a Gordon Freeman costume. I make a HEV suit, but I couldn't finish the costume. By this point the rules to use the wand seemed to have changed, I had to write down what I wanted rather than just saying it. I couldn't finish the costume because I was trying to get the Civil Protection pistol, I kept trying to write 'HK USP Match, 9mm, silver slide. Doesn't eject casings'. I couldn't fit it all on the paper, so the costume remained unfinished.
A few days before that I had a lucid dream, but it took a lot of effort to make things happen, and I had to fight to stay asleep. All in all it was pretty uneventful.

Mine too. It is my personal opinion that Caboose is fuckin' awesome.
I've been doing a bit of mapping, and I've been tired while doing it so I may have made mistakes. Most of this is rather bland other than the fact that it's all at an angle relative to the grid, due to it's orientation relative to the rest of the map.
A door will go where the red is
These are all very far from done, mainly I'm just posting this because I'm not sure which direction I want to go with the lighting. It's supposed to be part of a large-ish tram station in Black Mesa, but I can't decide whether I should keep it so that most of the power is out, leaving it dark like in the images, or whether it should be brighter, with only the occasional darker area. Thoughts?
I'd say he was just messing. When I saw that pic an image popped into my mind of Tawnos and Rimrook as orphan boys who are sad that their only toy has just broken.

I hadn't updated to 1.7 because of the SnC server but this makes me want to. A fast, efficient, and pretty compact redstone elevator.
As far as I can tell making one out of pistons above pistons would require building a small computer if you want it to reset.

My explanation of it is that I think it's a nice picture, nothing sexual about it. However, as Archie points out, it can be difficult to explain to girls.
Hence, on the occasions I have been asked by them, my answer has been 'Hey, Ariel's hot'.
They tend to accept that.

I now own a copy of Minecraft. Hooray!
It's converting my world to the more updated one, I hope it doesn't change much.

Perhaps I should have remembered we have a child in our midst. :
Dimbark, she is wearing a shirt, just a skin-coloured one. And those aren't nipples, they're salami she carelessly dropped while eating a sandwich.
There. All fixed.

I may end up getting the means to get Minecraft soon, so I may be able to at least have a look at the SnC server.
And I feel I must thank X-LAyer2, I think that game is brilliant. Thanks for making me aware of it.

I wonder what Urby thought when you said that?
It is indeed CT.
I never thought of the fact that I don't have the skills necessary to put it into HL, but I modelled it anyway.
I've been meaning to get the full version of Minecraft for a while now, lack of money is the main thing holding me back. :
I've got about €70, but I need to get something big. Maybe if I have some money left over afterwards I can get it soon.

I wish I was home then, then I could watch it. 
You would use a multimanager for that, and you would need to know how long it's in motion. So if you have a door that's 128 units tall, and has a movement speed of 16, it would take 8 seconds to open or close.
Assuming it takes 8 seconds, Your entity setup should look like this:
func_button (or whatever activates the door)
Target: securedooropening1
func_door
name: securitydoor
Whatever entities you wish to use for the flashing lights and the siren and such
name: siren
multimanager
name: securedooropening1
securitydoor: 0
siren: 0
siren: 8
When you press the button, it targets the multimanager. The multimanager, in turn, targets both the door and the siren. The door begins to close/open, and the siren turns on. After 8 seconds (the time it takes for the door to open/close), it targets the siren again, turning it off.

Wait, won't making a massive room cause very little to be seen due to the max render distance?
Striker, I think you may have meant a 0.01 scale.
Looking at that from the front page, I thought it would either be a ship in the middle of the room blocking the other side, or a fat cat. But that took me by surprise.
Tetsu0's makes me think of the assasination of JFK, and I like Trapt's a lot.
A whole page of the WIP thread with no images? I need to read all of this, there's lots of words so it must be good.
That's a very good map there Ninja, I felt like I was creeping around an old city at night. And it reminded me of the Thief games, the way it almost but not quite fits in to several different time periods. And the lighting was very good.
Yours truly rockin' a sweet set of sunglasses in the fine country of Mauritius.
I think he's referring to the fact that in a singleplayer map, you'd definitely be inside it as it went up, so it doesn't have to follow the wall exactly, since you can't see what's happening outside of it. In a multiplayer map though, you would be able to see it. But looking at the design of that elevator, it wouldn't matter, as you're not completely enclosed.
I gotta say, I like the look you're going for with this mod.
If I was to put one in a map I'd put it in a room with a combination lock that only I know the code to. If anyone else got it off my corpse I could put in another code that activates a weaponstrip across the entire map. Then let's see them try to gluon spam.
I think I like those textures too much. Where'd you get them?
I would be interested for sure, but I don't have CS:S, so I will have to pass it up.
And Striker, that made me lol.

Wait, nothing after 1990? So I can't map my own birth? That's like the most historical event in the history of history!
Edit: I'm born before 1990, so map my birth for instant first!*

Windows 7, it's just that there's nothing round associated with Minecraft, so I gave it a square start icon. And I'm considering getting rid of the text, it would look better without it.
I think you might mean 'psyche'
Actually, after reading this thread, can my poll vote be changed to map something historical? When I voted all I could think of were the pyramids and the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, which I didn't feel like mapping.
