With either type of gun, you can still lose an eye by it.
I've been working in the ER long enough to know that without protective goggles, they can maim.

Not only do I not change my avatar here, I use the same one everywhere, including SnarkPit and numerous other sites.
It's also my spray in HL2DM and CS:S.

I don't understand why people change avatars so frequently. The whole point is to have it connected to the member's identity so people can easily figure out who's posting what.
I have never changed my avatar, and I never will. That little devil just represents me. I made it out of clay, and I am proud of it.

Valve solved the error with another update.
Load up Steam with -beta sdk.Follow trapt's advice. It's a temporary work-around before Valve fixes the problem.
Valve is concentrating so hard on making the beta work right that they've sacrificed the standard release version of Hammer.
Think twice before you fire up Steam. I just got the CS:S update with the new map de_nuke. It made the CS:S engine unstable (crashed twice on me), and it rendered Hammer unusable. No one has found a solution yet.
Be forewarned.

What about cs_liftoff?
I talked to my neighbor, who works for Activision. He said that Hammer is one of the most stable level editor in the industry. It's very robust, and it's very well supported.
I am extremely thankful that Valve puts it out for free with the game. None of us would be here right now if Hammer is buggy or difficult to use.

Making a kill with nades ain't easy. It takes them so long to explode.
By the way, it's inspirational for see someone your age making maps. I am truly impressed.
The new improvements look good. I have another suggestion to spruce up the tunnel.
What about adding a door on the side of the tunnel? The door doesn't open and doesn't lead to anywhere, but it'll break up the length of the tunnel nicely. Valve uses this sort of archtecture to break up a large space in many of the official maps.

I would love to watch a well-teamed clan play my cs map de_justice. I spent so much time planning out how team work and strategy can do wonders in this map, but those dumb bots can never do something that interesting.
I even went to a local cyber cafe, but unfortunately, they don't have a functional cs:s server (they only have one for cs 1.6).

Yeah, leaks can be annoying. But with careful planning, they can be avoided in the first place. The key is not to create them in the first place. Hunting them down can be gnarly.
Automatic Shotgun FOR THE WIN!I don't consider the automatic shotgun a weak weapon. It's extremely deadly in close quarters (i.e. cs_office).
Now, try killing just using the knife. That would be the ultimate 1337 player.
I like team work too, but most of the online players are too dumb or lack the motivation for such collaborative effort. So I just end up as the lone ranger most of the times.
I am not discouraging any dominating players to play. In fact, I think we need 1337 players to make the game interesting. Worldcraft dude, we need more people like you to play.
Killing n00bs gets old after a while. I shot this one guy who just stood there as I unloaded my gun on him. He barely turned around by the time he's dead. No challenge at all.

Rabid, that camera is AWESOMEMy brother has the 300D. He spent over a grand buying that thing.
I like photography too, but a grand for a camera is a bit much, I think.
If an old lady tells me that I am a beautiful anything, I would feel kinda wierd. Have you seen "The Graduate"? I don't need a Mrs. Robinson on me.
I had been stalked by an older woman before. It was not a pleasant experience.

On second thought, a 19" LCD monitor would be pretty sweet. but then again, what am I going to do with my current 15" LCD?
Dual monitor takes up too much desktop space, in my opinion.

Yeah, Worldcraft dude. Players like you intimidate all the new players.
Camper.What's wrong with camping? It's a legitimate strategy. In fact, I think that's what I'll do in a real-life situation, if I ever join the SWAT team.
Half Life: Raising the Bar"Raising the Bar" was what I got from my wife last Christmas.
A "BOOM HEADSHOT" shirt
She made me a "got pwnd" shirt for my birthday.
She bought me FarCry for one year, and Radeon 9800 Pro a few years ago for my birthday.
I am really spoiled. I can't even think of what I need/want anymore.
But now comes the hard part...I need to think of something to give HER.
use underpowered inferior weapons in any gameNothing says humiliation louder than pwning someone holding an AK with a glock. I love hiding in a place where people don't typically expect anyone and put two lead in their heads with my glock.
Thanks, Seventh, for trying to clarify the original question.
I just started taking some classes with my wife this month. So when I try to play something, the people around me either leave or start crying in pain.
Of course, I am hoping to get better at it. I practice about half an hour a day.

Nothing beats playing a guitar, what type do you have?I have an acoustic guitar. I am just learning the chords right now.
I just have a slightly higher kill ratio in CS:S than 1.0
But it depends on who I play, of course.
Once, I was fragged continuously by this clan, it wasn't even funny. I logged off their server in frustration. Every shot was a headshot from them.

I am speaking for myself, but I do believe that being a mapper automatically qualifies one as a geek/nerd.
However, a geek can be multi-faceted as well. I play lots of games, and I enjoy building my computer from scratch, but there are also many other sides of me.
I am an avid bodybuilder. In fact, I tried so hard to reach my goal at bench-pressing twice my body weight that I injured my right shoulder. So I am off for two weeks for it to recover. I typically go to the gym every other day for the past fifteen years.
I love a good movies. I saw "Goblet of Fire" yesterday and "Pride and Prejudice" tonight. I am a cinephile.
I am learning to play the guitar, and I am a jazz fanatic.

I am not religious, but I am curiously afraid of the number 13. It's a superstitious thing.
If I see 13 download in a map, I'll download it again so the number doesn't stay at 13.

But paintball arena usually doesn't translate well from CS maps. The range of paintball ammo is very limited. The accuracy really deteriorates after the first 20 m. Long distance shots are virtually impossible with paintballs.
This newspaper photograph looks so much like CS:S. I just had to post it.
This is only one of them. There are a few more, but you can find links to all of them from the link I provided.
The bots scripts are pretty useful too.

I had no idea, but there are people who devote their lives to hand-tuning the .nav files for CS:S. There are entire communities out there just for this purpose, similar to TWHL and the SnarkPit for mapping.
I never thought there are hobbists who have such a specialized interest. In fact, some of them volunteer to tune my .nav file for my custom map.
The internet is amazing.

That's too bad. Because for once in my life I would like to watch someone sucks his own butt.
Ouch!

Even though I enjoy all sorts of cuisines, there's nothing more satisfying than a good Chinese meal.
That's not saying I don't like other types of foods. I love Italian food, and that Mexican burrito asada is just to die for. Korean barbeque and noodles always rank high on the list (with some hot kimchee), and Japanese food is welcome at all times.
But good ol' Chinese cooking is King for me.

But isn't it ironic that there are many professional gamers in China who play games for a living? they typically make ten times the salary of a government worker. In fact, a teenage boy makes more money playing in tournaments than his father, so he bought himself a BMW while his parents cannot afford to buy a car.
And I thought the U.S. government is stupid. I can't believe this story was real. It's an excerpt (short) from an article in the Los Angeles Times:

BEIJING ? Fed up with what it sees as the corrupting influence of computer games on youth, the Chinese government plans to introduce to the online world a new cast of characters based on old-fashioned Communist values.
Instead of heavily armed superheroes licensed to kill, the new game will highlight the likes of a model Communist soldier famous for helping other people. To advance in this game, players won't gun down their enemies. They'll mend socks, lots of them, and gain points by getting appreciation letters for doing good deeds such as helping old ladies home in a rainstorm and stopping people from spitting on the sidewalk.
The prize is a signed virtual copy of Mao Tse-tung's Little Red Book.
Why not make a game to have the player wash dishes all day? I'd rather shove a pineapple up my nostril than play this game.

It's a Machinima film made using the F.E.A.R. engine and based on the game's premise.

When you see it in-game, it looks pretty good and believable. It's hard to do justice to the gun with just a still picture. The booming sound coming from the gun is the most impressive. You gotta hear it to feel the full impact.
I am sure when everyone heard it for the first time, it was pretty awesome.

98.8% of all AOLers are complete and utter retardsI agree. Anyone with half a brain would've picked another ISP.
Back in the days when I had modem, I had an ISP called Hawk Communications. They're dirt cheap ($5 a month), and the service was great.
That's not sad. Some of my friends still go trick or treating. They're in their thirties.
However, older people require a really nice custome to deserve candies though. A white sheet wouldn't do any more.

What the heck is up with the rock the castle is one? In the last screenie, it is just a giant blockThe map was never intended to be viewed from that angle. Trapt took the picture using cheat codes.
This was how I dressed for work today.
You can't expect someone to lose his skin (like a fast zombie) in just a few hours or to grow so much extra meat (like a poisinous zombie) in just a few hours.When was the last time you witnessed a zombie transformation? I went through medical school, but I have never studied such subject. You can't use biological comparison, because the whole process is unnatural, by definition.
Only the people at Valve know the truth.
What doesn't make sense, plotwise, is how fast Ravenholm would've been abandoned once you get there.but Ravenholm wasn't abandoned. All the zombies in Ravenholm were once citizens or rebel fighters. They were transformed by the headcrabs into zombies.
so the story does make sense, and the timing of the plot works fine.
The town you're overlooking is Ravenholm. This has been mentioned in interviews but can also be noticed by the church that can be seen in the distance.That actually makes sense. I think the "Big Gun" inside the church is actually firing headcrab cannisters. That's why when Gordon gets to Ravenholm eventually, the town has been turned into a zombie infested world.
The gameplay is average, compared to the other HL2 levels. And the map wouldn't make a good DM arena. It's somewhat linear.
The point of Lost Coast is to demonstrate HDR, and nothing more.
