Some screens of the map I'm working on.It's a remake of an old map, one that had a good concept but wasn't too well executed. i'm hoping to make it a bit better.
Those are all awesome Caboose. I am in awe. Especially

As far as I know, you can't. You can probably convert it from .smd to .mdl though. Although pretty much all of the models I've made weren't intended for anything, so I've never looked into it.
Also, looks pretty sweet Rim. Although those are some pretty expensive drinks.

I'll be able to do some voice acting if you want, but I don't have a particularly good microphone. Plus I've been told I have a boring voice.
Map 1: 60%
Map 2: 0%
My efforts kind of petered out when I realised that the layout of my map was huge and open, meaning there would be next to no way to effectively do a changelevel. And the 60% of the first map that I had already done almost filled the grid, so a changelevel would have been necessary.

Holy berjeebus I want me one of those.
Rimrook is making me sad that I don't have L4D.
And I love the lighting on that first shot Ninja, at first I thought it was on the Source engine.
And sorry for the late reply Unbreakable, I got the reference pics from this website, it tends to have good side on shots of guns. Although they tend to all be from one side, so I also used this website.

I'm not really that close to finishing, and I haven't had time to use my computer in the last few days. I'll try to finish my entry, but don't be surprised if I don't.
I've just finished it. It's probably the most accurate gun model I've made yet, which is good.
JeffMOD: It's a UMP45, which is also made by HK.
Unbreakable & CT: Yep, it's done in SketchUp.
I've only been doing this out of boredom, but I think it looks pretty good so far. It still needs a stock and the fire selector though.
Over here all we get is this type:
So it is pretty unusual for here.
God dammit, it's FITCHER not FISHER.
Pam Bitcher
Yes, please do.
No, it's a thread about which cheese is better, Cheddar or Mozzarella! No, wait, I think we've had one like that before...
I made this shape and positioned the camera:
To render it I used VRay.
I decided to use SketchUp to give my self a nice, simple background. I think I like it.
And each day it changes to the next one in the sequence.
But I thought that if you leave the speed setting at 0 then the game interprets that as 'no change'?
Oh shit, I just realised that there's only 19 days left. I'd better get working.
I think it is Joe. Notice all that green?
Although I can see why you'd not realise that. A xen lightstalk emitting green light is weird, yet suitably dreamish.

The Lively Ones - Surf Rider
Awesome.
Edit: I don't know how I managed to screw that up so much. Fix'd anyway.

I've got some photos of Mauritius, however the only camera I had was my phone one. I might upload some from my dad's camera when he comes home.
A sunset from the beach at the hotel
I tried to take a picture showing the big buildings in Port Louis that the rich live and work in, and also showing the poor selling stuff to tourists at street level, but I couldn't fit them in one photo, so I took two.
I found an interesting and rather delicate shell while I was Scuba diving, but my brother thought it would be funny to break it. I saw a photo of the same type of shell in a store display, so I took a photo.
A sunset from the balcony of my room at the hotel.
The same, after the sun fell past the horizon.
An unusual butterfly I saw this morning while walking my dog.

Are we allowed to modify the base island structure?
I've got a perfect idea, which can be made more perfect if importing textures from HL2 is allowed.
The Beatles - Taxman
I've never really heard any of the Beatles songs before, but they're all really good.

It doesn't lag anywhere near as much for me when I set the 3D view to flat shaded, try that.
@Brendanmint: where did the rubble under that arch actually come from?
@Joe: I like it. Although the world of binary sounds like a scary place.

I don't know if there is a version for Unix, but I'm running Windows 7.
And since when was the reply-text-goes-in-here-box scalable? I just noticed that now.

It'll freeze on any shape. pube, even.So I didn't read that wrong. And I could swear it said cube before this thread was miraculously bumped for apparently no reason. I must be losing my mind.
I was wondering what the hell was going on. Those don't look like snakes. And then I realised they were legs. And I laughed heartily. I'm going to print that out as well, that's awesome.
[Edit] It does say 'The Orange' on the box. So it is indeed 'The Orange Box' as Joe suggested.

I recently got Rainmeter to get myself a sexy desktop.
Pic related, it's mah sexy desktop.

You can rotate a model any way you want without it mattering that the vertices are off grid.
I've only ever played CoD1, Modern Warfare, World at War and Modern Warfare 2. In terms of the singleplayer campaign, I'd say that 1 is the best, followed by MW1, Waw, then MW2. Multiplayer, I'd say 1, MW2, MW1, then WaW.
I'm surprised. Apparently I'm one of the taller TWHLers.
And I'm bored enough to fill out everyones details. Thank me later.
(Although I had to leave some people out, for obvious reasons)

I'd help you if I could, but I'm learning it atm as well. If only it was Sketchup you needed to learn. 
Isn't liquid oxygen the more common rocket propellant?Nope. it's the oxidant. Oxygen doesn't burn, it simply facilitates burning.
Halo's on top of a DVD box, I got it with the Xbox in a paper CD slip.
Not shown:
Midtown Madness 3 - Xbox (couldn't find it)
Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy - Xbox (brother lent it to a friend, never got it back)
Resident Evil - Gamecube (ditto)
Half-Life - PS2 (I'm currently lending it to a friend)
Hitman 2 - Xbox (ditto)
It would be pretty practical and home-made. Get a cheap camcorder with night mode, some infra-red diodes, some other easily obtainable items, stick them together on a headstrap and you've got yourself some night-vision goggles.
I can't find a camera at the moment, and some of my older games are kept in my brother's room, so I'll have to wait until he wakes up to get them, but here are my Steam games.
My god... it's full of games!
Night vision and Infra-Red; Possible, but bloody expensive, and home made ones would weigh a tonne. With EM, very unlikely.
It wouldn't be too hard to make night vision goggles, but it would be relatively expensive, and they wouldn't look as the ones in the pic.
And how will you do highway 17 and the Airboat chapters? If you managed to code in vehicles and then tried to make the level any real length at all you'd end up having to load the next map every thirty seconds. It's just not feasible.
I honestly don't see what everybody hates about it. I admit the wheels look too small, and the bit with the lights at the back looks weirdly short, but I don't mind the rest of it, and I like the way the back window is asymmetric.
One or two minor things I dislike, but other than that it looks astounding.
