What's with the ordering of the nominees? Random, because it's changed a couple times since I first checked it?

Got used to it after 2 seconds, in my opinion it's very stylized and unique to the site.

If that's anti aliasing, then I'd like to see what is considered 'texture resolution'.

Damn, so many good entries.
God damnit. This is harder then making the map to begin with.

Given your ping, I don't think you died that many times. You even got positive KDR for a while!

Make a map suitable for several different modes?
[Gamemodes, or even ingame settings, such as gravity, such or such.]

Just had to think of it, after our little trial on the server. You suck World Crafter.

Oh yay, De_Dome is finally going to be played

Worst. Fucking. Idea. Ever.

Well, that was fun. You all suck for being busy and not joining though.

Ping of >250.

Right next door to America.

Use VTFedit and then export it to TGA, then just reimport it into goldsource.

You'll only get the diffuse texturing this way, so if the textures rely heavily on normal maps and such, you'll have to bake them one way or another into a single diffuse texture, otherwise it may look flat and boring.

I'm out. Good luck to those who entered.

Is it true you also marry your kangaroos?

My friend kickboxes with his because it's so arrogant, it won't let him sleep anywhere at night.

The crafty bastard's title gets me all the time as well. A very small part of me wishes it was true, because that's just cruel.

It does teach you a thing about the human brain though; A word doesn't have to be spelled correctly if it's simple and common enough to be interpreted without second readings.

I was just gliding off what was quoted, and in that sentence it never establishes that he entered, only that he was headed towards Africa then turned back.

Custom Title.

Wait, what? He goes towards Africa, turn back and end up in Africa? So he doesn't escape Africa does he? Good ending.

Note that he never 'entered' Africa therefore how can he 'escape' Africa if he didn't enter it in the first place?

Also is there even such thing as a Soviet Marine? A bit odd wording.

I attempted to install Windows XP.

Never again..... Never....

Yeah, probably an insulting one.

Birds don't like humans.

Whoever said there was another individual involved?

I listened to an entire Justin Bieber song. Yes, from start to end.

Complete the Far Cry 2 campaign.

Oh hell.

I didn't find it very punny at all to be honest.

EDIT: 5AM already! Pun-tastic.

You're a punny man.

Some TWHLers have posted amazing outdoor photos in this thread.

Yeah, with their +400$ DSLRs. I am on a useless piece of shit point and shoot Kodak Easyshare, it has absolutely no manual ANYTHING so to speak of, and point and shoots are usually aimed at people who want everything in focus god knows why.

Yes, I used that image on purpose, if you don't get the point I'm expressing then let me put it simply: I dislike outdoor shots because I can't control ANYTHING. I am on a generic point and shoot with no manual focus and I dislike the idea of taking a picture going "Ok well I'm focusing on this object right here, but I hope that the person viewing this is actually going to look at it [assumingly first] and not look at random things in the background",
You ever notice how dark and grungy my macro's are?
They are for a reason. I'm not just pointing a light at my object because then you'd see the table perfectly lit. And then you would be looking at the table, not the subject. With the macro shots I have perfect control over my lighting and I can separate the subject from the background perfectly fine. In broad daylight and sunlight, I have absolutely nothing to separate the subject from the background. No manual focus, absolutely nothing. It's a generic point and shoot camera, it's not meant for photography, I'm just lucky enough to get it to work alright with macro shots.

Also Striker, if I don't earn money in the bloody first place, how the hell am I going to 'save' money?
That's a pretty good price though, I would have sworn I'd price the camera over 400, considering the prices.

Fuck it, perhaps I should just sell my 360 for around 200, might at least get something better then the point-and-shoot I got right now at least.

And no, I do not take photography seriously, it's something I do, not something I get payed to do. I'm not an elitist, just a guy with a camera, otherwise I'd have proper equipment.

Not everybody has multi-millionaire equipment, and in my case all I can take that looks decent is macro shots. Just because it's a camera doesn't mean it'll look good with outdoor shots.

You want to see an outdoor shot? Here:I think I'll just stick with macro.

British Columbia. Most beautiful place on earth.

Also, I believe I've run out of things to take pictures of. ARGH!

.50 sniper bullets? Pff please.

I do that all the time and they never do anything.

Yes, you really should just take it up whoever shipped it.

It's a spider, you monster.Unfortunately I had to return the last camera that I was using, so forgive the quality of any following pictures.
So recently I've learned about a lovely thing called a Lighting Rig, and feel wholeheartedly stupid for not thinking about it before.

Before I was simply relying on my monitor for a small amount of lighting, but then I realized not only could I use two sources of light, I can also use the monitor rotationposition itself to affect the lighting better.

Decided to redo the pictures of the Pentax picture with proper lighting.And the small DV camera that has saved my life by allowing me to prototype everything before I bother to get the normal camera to do shooting.Lovely knife, couldn't get this to look well enough without proper lighting beforehand, so I always just skipped it.Soup, you should give me a proper knife so I can take a picture of that instead... [Although I do honestly quite like the grungy rusted look that the knife has, not so much if I want to actually use the knife for anything though.]And finally, my Light rig [AKA Cheap bugger who can't bother to use real lights]And of course, who else but the man holding the camera.What about you guys? Got any interesting 'behind the camera' type stuff you'd be willing to share?

And whatever happened to edit bumping? Obviously it can have it's flaws, but it was a nice feature.
[It still works but no frontpage bumping, that is]

Quick! New competition! Make a map for each one of Zeeba's layouts! Best person to remake all the maps wins!

takes screenshots and edits them, then slaps on a 'crollo' watermark

Nice maps mate.

Great work mate, actually makes me feel ashamed to submit my map now.

I'm glad to learn nobody has gone far enough with a camera that they actually took a picture of the planet they're currently standing on, period.

Yeah, the bump request has always been broken unfortunately, been brought up a couple times, I think it may have been a feature from the previous forum and it didn't translate over to the new forum due to the new ID system.

Welcome Jack! Nice little map you got there, hope you enjoy your stay here at TWHL.

Please, don't let's perpetuate drama over basically nothing.

But then what the hell would we do all day?

Damnit I would try source if there was a option to use the old 2006 engine.

Another thing is to avoid making a map from a full [layed out] idea you have in your head, if you make something from only a general idea of what you want to make, you don't set 'goals' that you will end up going 'Oh man I'm out of brushes and this scene looks pretty stupid without this prop or that light switch!' and then just simply running out of everything, on the other hand it's more difficult and at the same time more prone to being less creative when you simply just start creating with only a general idea.

I didn't in the first place, bru.

I actually meant to add a d at the end of 'cause', but Okay.

I actually worded that pretty poorly, If you eat a banana then you get radiation, radiation is normal, but what causes it varies. If something causes radiation that didn't happen before, it isn't normal

If you're used to seeing light in your room, but suddenly there's a new source of light in your room, should you simply not give two shits because there was light there already, even though this new source of light isn't the 'regular' source?

In what respect? I'm not making the radiation out to be 'OMG ITS GOING TO KILL US OMGOMGOMGOMGOGM', just duly noting something that dispite what you may or may not believe, is not natural radiation cause like eating something like a banana.

Muders, rape, crimes happen every single day.
Does this mean we should simply cease to give a shit if some bitch get's raped on a public bus and is then decapitated, just because it's a normal thing to happen?

He's probably not aiming for an actual ancient setting, rather ancient architecture in current times.

I believe you forgot to use capslock.

Just like Chernobyl flooded the entire world with deadly radiation, right? Oh wait.

"We're basing this on Japanese studies following the Chernobyl incident in 1986 where levels of iodine-131 were four times higher than what we've detected in our rainwater so far,"

Because you didn't really care to read the article. No, not deadly radiation, but radiation nontheless.

It's already been stated the levels are so low there is no threats to humans, but it's still worth noting.

And it's not a matter of radiation period, it's a matter of more radiation. Yes, there's already radiation, but what makes you think that suddenly makes it OK for more radiation to just pour in?

You guys fucking suck. Seriously.

We could but unfortunately people with power usually don't like making decisions for the good of their respected countries.

You should. After all, it is community decided.

But you didn't make a chart!

I have no idea what gestapo means so it's funny to me.
