Damn rabid, your like my brother, you have the coolest things.;P - Yeah, I have a crowbar. Its hanging in my closet actually, and its blue, but it looks quite similar to the HL ones. I'll have to take a picture of my desk again, it has lots of fun stuff on it atm.
For instance, that gas mask, or that ammo box next to your comp -

We haven?t had any updates for a while ? But we?ve still been hard at work as of late. Recent restructuring within the team has resulted in some new additions to the team?s collective of talented members, and as such, I?d like to use part of this announcement to welcome the new team members aboard. Joining us are Laz, Limper and Raminator, who are adding their talents in the departments of textures and skins, modeling, and level design respectively. Already they are hard at work on new areas of development within Black Mesa: Source. If you see them around on the forums or IRC, make sure to give them a welcome!
Additionally we would like to officially announce our new forum shift. We have recently shifted to our own, IPB-based board system, complemented by our own forum skin courtesy of Kester, Orcone and DKR1138 of the development team and forum fame. A new website is also under development to meet the expanding requirements for our modification page, as well as to accent the forum skin. The existing site has been updated to include some new, custom music from our soundtrack and some new sounds, both by our talented sound artist Joel, so make sure to stop by and see some updates to what ModDB named the ?third best website? in the entire modification community last year. On another website-related note, you'll notice that some of our media images have been taken down. This is because they no longer reflect the quality of our final version. Also, the HTML website has been taken down temporarily due to some maintenance issues. It should be making a return shortly!
Following the loss of some of our developers, we are looking for some new talent to fill in spots on the development team ? At the moment, we are currently hiring individuals talented in the departments of level design and skinning/texture art. For more information on these positions, please have a look at the jobs section of the Black Mesa: Source website.
We conclude this release with a screenshot! This week?s media includes another Surface Tension shot, but this time, rendered with High Dynamic Range as is used in Lost Coast. Various levels from the modification are undergoing compiles with both High Dynamic and Low Dynamic range in order to determine what looks and plays the best. In the end, the player will have the option to play through Black Mesa: Source with or without HDR rendering.
Finally, if you think Black Mesa: Source is the mod you think should be ?Mod of the Year?, vote for it! You can visit our Mod Database entry by clicking here to cast your vote. You?ll need to be registered and logged into ModDB for your vote to count more, and sometimes at all, so please support them and create an account if you don?t have one already! Also, account or no account, please support Black Mesa: Source in the ModDB topsite listing by clicking here. Your vote counts once per day.
Stay tuned, for a second media release is on its way for the end of December.

On the subject of music downloads: I don't bother with illegal copies because the quality is so poor, nor with legal copies of the same lousy quality but with the added bonusWhat quality do you consider poor? 96, 128, yes. 192? 2XX VBR? Most of the items on my playlist are VBR-encoded in some capacity in a range from 19x-29x. And that's not bad quality, in my opinion. The best ones I've got are some 320's that I ripped from some friends' CDs and a couple I did buy, although I have some copies from the interweb that are 320 as well. You just have to look.
Oh whatever, lolYour parents generally won't pay for stuff when you turn 18 =( - Be glad while you can! ;P
My parents buy half of everything me. But your right. everything is way too expensive, which is why i download music. And again youre right. it does come out shitty half the time.
The amount of money a country does have needs to be equaled by a product of value, one of the most popular ones is gold. If you print extra money you inflate the economy as happend with german before WWI. If you do this on big scale the money wont be worth a dime.True. One example of this is Macedonia's economy. The fact that they haven't made any arrests for forgery in their country is crazy, considering that forgery of their currency is one of the largest forms of crime in their country.
Anyway, i also like to pour my time over construction of robots, using the simple lego RCX, it may seem basic but its nice to have a robot then when you click 'run program' button will turn the light on for you (which means no gettin' out of my nice warm bed, being scared that somethings going to rab my legs fromunder the bed, or come out from the wardrobe.)Legos are crazy. I've got a huge bin somewhere =/
