Sorta shot yourself in the foot with that one, Psilous.
one night of adulterous drinking and i'm waking up to "ooh, psi cant spell, psi is a girl" gawd! well listen buddy, you can step the f off of it, or get shoved the f off of it.If remarks about your drunken behavior offends you then you should probably consider moderating your drinking a bit.
HEY IM NOT A GIRL!.. Close, but not completely at all.Planning on cutting down a few trees in your front yard, Psilous?
That's not illegal, and in fact it's quite smart. There's nothing to report here.
Servers often ask for donations to keep their game up and running. This particular server just happens to provide a little more incentive to donate.

There is, though. It's the first link under the Community tab.
All right gentlemen, now's the time to show how spoiled some of you are while letting others tell you that you're getting too much free stuff from mommy and pappy.
So post what you got... or what you didn't get. Whatever floats your boat.
From my brother, I got a new PSU to power a motherboard and GPU upgrade that I've been wanting to do for months.
From my sister, I got a funny t-shirt that she had made with some company that makes you shirts if you send them the image to go on the shirt. She made a picture of a silhouette holding a log above it's head with the caption "DEVIL LOG" under it. 20 points to anyone who catches this most epic reference.
From my parents, I got a very nice topcoat, which means I need to buy some clothes to wear under it now. Unfortunately, it's just slightly too large and I will have to get the sleeves shortened somehow.
And from me to me, a Serial Experiments Lain box set with the fucking rare, Australian box. Still waiting on that, as I bought it just this morning.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?
Anyway, go to Control Panel-> Windows Firewall-> Allow Programs
From there you can open or block stuff.

I still haven't seen Strangelove, and it's been on my list for such a long time.
Bah, I'll get to it eventually.

Just a reminder guys.
The current subscription is due for it's second payment January 24th, 2010. That's one month from now.
The cost of keeping it up is another $104 USD.
If you are still interesting in having the server, or possibly upgrading to more player slots or an accelerated server, then I'll start asking for donations again soon.
Also, bots aren't coming back. You guys agreed that you didn't want HPB, and Parabot is too unstable.

A lot of people who saw Avatar are saying it's a spiffied up Ferngully.

And they will. Eventually.And we will weep for them...

TWHL is a network of users, with most of whom I feel I have established a friendly relationship. What happens when you lose contact with friends?
But I don't think, say, Gabe Newell should care that I lost some friends.
Armageddon.

it's upsetting, and you should not be passing such judgement as "good, im happy that occured. didn't happen to me, what should i care." but mour of the latter.. "that's happening on my planet, this is whats occuring, people can die."Nobody ever said, "it didn't happen to me, so I don't care." We said, "We don't care that someone who had no impact on our lives, or the lives of our friends and family, just died."
Maybe you were a fan, in which case I'm sorry that you are affected by her death. But I'm unaffected and so are many others, it seems. Ergo, I see no reason why I should care.
You can spit out utopian theories all day, but in the end the reality is that nobody should be expected to care about a death that neither affects them nor anyone they know. What affects you, personally, and those whom you know determines what you should care about.
As far as I know you can't. It's an old Finepix 2650, a very generic camera.
Watching The Incredibles on tv right now.
Such a great movie.

There is a model for the portal rift, and the material on the model can be set to render from a camera.
I'm not sure exactly what the name of the model is or how to make it render, though. Sorry.

The plan was just a small amount of bars to each represent a big percentage of health. So thanks.
"Hey, I've never had sleep paralysis, but I have had a wet dream! That counts for something, right?"
Meh, just chuck your soiled undergarments in the washing machine and take a shower. All's well.
Unless you sleep nekkid, in which case it sucks to be you.

For Christ's sake, someone lock this.
God dammit, you have to stop expecting people to know who you are just by saying "hi".
We have absolutely no basis for determining who you are when you do this shit.

Err, cool story br- Striker.
This disappointing. I was hoping a lot more to say they are familiar with SP.

We totally need a WoW server. Start donating.
I use a telekinesis test. If I can move something with my mind, I'm dreaming 
if this condition of yours increases in severity, you should talk to a doctor so he can refer you to a specialist. It's probably nothing serious, but you should cover your bases anyway.I appreciate the concern, but I assure you it's not as serious as you may think. Not with me, anyway.
Like insomnia(only an example, folks), everyone experiences SP at some point or another whether or not they even remember that it happened. If you absolutely, positively haven't yet, then I can guarantee that you will eventually.
It's only a disorder when it becomes chronic, like anything else, and I don't get nearly enough episodes to start worrying and I've been noting episodes for years due to it being such an interesting experience.
Although having another person in the room certainly makes things worse.
My episode earlier today involved me taking a nap in my computer chair while my roommate was napping in his bed behind me. [He woke up early for an exam and was making up sleep while I just felt like taking a nap]
The chair faces away from his bed. My hallucination was that he woke up, so I only heard the rustle of bedsheets for a while, followed by footsteps walking in my direction. Then I felt a hand come down on my shoulder, which I inexplicably knew wasn't my roommate's.
I had to break out of that one for being too intense. He never actually woke up in the first place. I guess it sounds stupid now, but it's a whole different ball game when you have no control.
Like I said, it happens on a fairly regular basis with napping, and I attribute that to the way I nap vs. the way I sleep. I nap supine, or otherwise face up. I sleep face down or on my side. Something to do with pressure on the back of the head or something, I don't know.
at the time I had just chalked it up to ghosts :/Yeah, a lot of alien abductions and ghost encounter stories and whatnot are attributed to sleep paralysis and people who don't know what it is.
with this awkward sensation running through my nerves, that made my hair stand up on end.. and though I could feel this occuring I couldn't move or call for assistance.. after about a minute and a half I managed to throw myself off of the couchThat'll be it.
After taking a nap today and having a particularly intense sleep paralysis episode, I'm wondering how many of you experience sleep paralysis from time to time. I do on a fairly regular basis with napping.
If you don't know what it is, you've probably never experienced it. Or maybe you just didn't know that's what it's called.
This probably sounds fun, but it's often quite strange and usually frightening thanks to a mental conflict of knowing that you're not dreaming, but are experiencing dreamlike imagery, sounds, and feelings (which are often not pleasant to say the least).
Pressure on the chest is a common feeling, but I've never felt it.
What I do feel as a predecessor to the hallucinations every time, however, is an intense pulsing sensation in my head accompanied by ringing sounds. At this point, I make a choice to either go with it or try to break out by forcing a body part to move (which can be very difficult).
The pulsing can be best akinned to saying "ooooooo" and quickly but loudly saying "WA", where the oooo represents the ringing. It's also unpredictable.
Ultimately, though, it's harmless and far too interesting (albeit scary) to pass up every now and then.
UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH long post is long.
Go ahead and share your sleep paralysis experiences.

Physiologically, sleep paralysis is closely related to the paralysis that occurs as a natural part of REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, which is known as REM atonia. Sleep paralysis occurs when the brain awakes from a REM state, but the body paralysis persists. This leaves the person fully conscious, but unable to move. The paralysis can last from several seconds to several minutes "after which the individual may experience panic symptoms and the realization that the distorted perceptions were false".In layman's terms, your conscience wakes up, but the rest of you doesn't. The result is basically dreaming awake.

Looks good!

I have no idea.
Is it possible to monitor the player's health if you're mapping for SP?
I'm trying to make a sort of health bar out of game_texts.

Abe Lincoln?Yes, Abe Lincoln.

That or try releasing the player right before the level change is triggered.
I don't think this is related to locking the player in place, though. Try anyway and maybe we'll get lucky.

Stumbled across this scan and thought it might make a nice multimonitor wallpaper. Abe is an artistic genius.
Face Off was hilarious.
More pseudoclassy pictures:
My camera is so old. It has a tendency to overexpose things.
Also taking a photo without a tripod is hard as hell.

Another animu chick flick. In my defense, I didn't know it was going to be a chick flick when I started watching, and it only became apparent halfway through.
Still pretty good, and very witty for the most part. Surprise twist at the end was really fucking weird but executed fairly well. And the animation was outstanding.

Monster_generic doesn't work in multiplayer, only single player. If you started a "server" I get the impression that you started a multiplayer game to test your map.
Use a cycler or cycler_sprite instead.

Just send me your map and I'll see if I can find out what's happening for you.

Why does everyone always jump straight to "recreate the area!"? It's better to isolate the problem in case you run into it again.
What happens when you take that nulled brush and replace it with the bevel texture?^Try what Atom suggested and get back to us with the results.
Well I was hoping a screenshot would maybe show some of the wacky brushes that might be causing this.
I supposed one way to isolate the brush is to find out what direction the invisible wall extends, and follow that general line (in Hammer) until it runs into visible brushes. Then start checking out those brushes.

Sounds like a clip node error, probably due to some crazy geometry, or just a brush gone rogue. Changing your clip type for the compile might fix it.
Try -cliptype precise and -cliptype simple
Also, can we see a screenshot of the offending area?
Edit: Players and gunfire? That's got to be a bad brush, and you're going to have to find it.

Tarantino is God!Death Proof was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I'm not even exaggerating.
Are you high or something?
I'm serious.

Screenshots 2 and 4 are both legit, though.
Being in dark places, I don't think anyone would have caught them without the bright blue wonders of software rendering

Same character designer, though.
You all have fucking shit desktops.
I doubt your having a quad core has anything to do with how smooth you played through that room.
By that I mean I seriously doubt Half Life even acknowledges more than 2 cores, if it can even use 2 in the first place. It's probably just really fast.
