Think of the Mac widget icons if you've used OSX. To do it, add an inner white shadow to give it the shiny look. Use a good typeface to make it bubbly. If you went and checked out flickr and digg as Arshy suggested instead of acting like 'tards, then you'd have an idea.
Erm, the "TWHL will be back shortly" isn't an Opera thing, it's a site thing. :/
Those of you who were so unkind as to NOT INCLUDE A README (a fair few of them) could you please tell me what game I'm supposed to run your maps in?
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tightrope
Supergrass - Richard III
Ok, I downloaded all the compo maps (woot for fast Uni connection). If you sent in an entry, please email me so I can confirm that I received it.
Something tells me that a belief in Santa Claus does not greatly affect their life once they hit 12-13, or even younger.
Secondly, you don't need Religion to teach about ethics.
I hearby denounce any and all involvement in this thread from now on. They always dissolve into people being pretty damned stupid because they can't accept others viewpoints. Who gives a flying duck is what I say!

I think it's wrong to make ones child believe in a certain religion. He or she should be able to make up their own mind in due time about what to believe in.Precisely what I plan to do. And if my wife disagrees...
Yes, Madcow.
Not quite Elof.
FAT32 can be used for hard-drives that are under 40 gigs. Windows can easily use it, just as it has for previous versions (95, 98, ME, etc).
NTFS would not be causing your problem.

Hammer 4 has been superbly stable for me. As for memory usage, if I could map on my shitty desktop PC, then you have no excuse!
I changed the lighting before etape came out (I suggested to dewdle to change etape's lighting). The guys who played the recent test were the first to see it.
BUMP
Couple more screenshots.

Yah, 3.5 is a bitch to use comapared to 4.
I'll have to start downloading the maps soon...what a pain in the arse. 
Yep. English never sleeps.
How is that irony?
Eva Cassidy - Wayfaring Stranger
Can't. I'm at Uni. IRC ain't connecting through Opera.
More work, whore! I've been crafting Venetia behind the scenes, so I hope you've been working too!
So when does this compo finish?
Everyone forgets you. 
... you actually say stuff like l0lz or rfol in real life.
Yah, I quite prefer the new lighting to the older one.
Btw, as I've said to you many many times, take realistic screenshots, not no-clipped ones. It screws with the scalling.

Clearly. 
Aye, you better watch the Freewebs staff. Hosting illegal content on their crappy sites is, well, illegal.

Here's some quick tips:
Use func_detail. If you have detail bits of brushwork that don't serve to block VIS (i.e. they're not huge walls or something) then turn 'em into func_detail.
Use nodraw to texture faces that the player never sees.
Map intelligently. Make sure brushwork doesn't collide with each.
Don't use a gigantic skybox to seal your map. This extends the length of the compile and makes your map laggy.

Yah, the freeform aspect of it is amazing.
Emulators are perfectly legal. ROM's aren't. Some sites claim that if you own the original game pak then it's fine to download the ROM. This is inaccurate.
Not that I give a crap of course. As for the GC, there is not one working ROM avaliable, apart from demos for the emulators that people have made. Heck, just buy the damn console, it's pretty cheap now.

Windows Media Player is hopeless. I only get decent performance out of it while running it on my laptop. On my desktop, there's no fucking hope. Winamp ftw! DFX Audio Enhancement plugin ftw! Also, Media Player Classic FTW!
Ftw ftw.
Ftw ftw.

Define "all resolutions" VOX...
The reason we don't have the cockpit HUD is cos we're using a high-res patch.

Condition Zero is the Goldsource engine, so I'm moving this to the HL1 forum.
You can't get the hud with the new version, unless you set the res to the lowest.

Yah, I agree.
Ha, 200 posts!!
Next beta will be a release candidate, so anyone can play.

Which one? The Half-Life Model Viewer or the in-Hammer one? If you want the HLMV, just load the SDK and double click "Model Viewer".
I so owned everyone earlier this evening.
Throw in Real Alternative and the K-Lite Codec pack while you're at it and you'll have a winning media player.
Honestly, for it to be dying, it'd have to be a case of absolutely no mods being made, about 2 maps released every 4 months and no one playing it.
Yeah, but it's a bloody PNG that's nearly a meg in size!
Got a website?
You really need to give us a heap more information than this.

Well, I'm a little more optimistic in that sense. I believe that so long as there's even just one person working on the engine, then it's alive. So long as there are people still playing it, then it's alive.
I'll take the example of Descent. Damn old game, yet people are still playing it, still modifying it and still enjoying it. For me, that doesn't mean it's dead.

TF2 ftw. I am so glad Valve took the initiative and did something that wasn't just a direct port. The cartoony graphics suit the game perfectly! I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Descent I was the first PC game I ever played. Back then, I played with my older cousin. All I did was shoot, but it was damn exciting!
I currently only have Descent I. I've played some of Descent II and I haven't touched Descent III (I want to though).
By the way, all you Descent fans with Doom III might want to look at this: http://www.chmodoplusr.com/IntoCerberon/
I so wish I had Doom III, just to play this.

Elon wins. 
Absolute classic. Playing now with updated textures, mouse control, higher resolution...
A while ago, Rabid, Hugh, Trapt and I had a multiplayer session playing Descent, so much fun. Glad it runs on my laptop. LAN here I come!
