If you're using the same key on a new user how are they supposed to distinguish you from a cd-key thief? Their actions are justified in my opinion, and i'm sure their are steps you can take with them to recover your other account. It's a pain, but it's all that can really be done by Valve to prevent piracy.

A 'nice' message asking them what you need to do would've been more appropriate, they'll obviously need to see some proof to sort it out. Now granted i don't know all the info, i could be missing something. However, like it or not, Steam and programs like it are the future of game management.

Hah, comment of the day.

I can't say i really like the look of this mod.. sure the planes are nice, but that's all there is. The few world screens we've seen are far less impressive. It gives the impression you're just using some well-built prefabs - I know you aren't, but it feels that way.

Well it makes no real difference, i have more practise with vertex manipulation and i find it a more desirable approach than clipping.

I never carve and i never clip. I like to be very neat in the way i brush my rooms, even the parts you don't see. Being neat and doing everything manually can prevent a lot of problems.

I did that, i really dislike using those tools. Doing it all by vertex manipulation is easy really, and it gives you greater control.

Pfft @ all the above quotes, killer quotes below:

"You seem unhappy. I like that."

"Newbie, stay. Stay. Bad newbie. That's a very bad newbie."

"Kick him in the crotch damnit, the crotch!"

"Good splotchy Dr. Splotchy."

"What has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?"

"Oh, my God! I just gagged and vomited at the same time. I gavomited."

"Sweet dancing Jehovah! I've punctured my brain."


And if you don't recognise those you are not fit to live. ;)

It would have to be exact.. which is probably impossible with the engine. If it's 'close enough' it will become more and more out of line with the frame as time progresses.

There are plenty of 3D (or semi-3D) side-scrollers, Paper Mario and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project spring to mind.

Are there any that are really well done though? Paper Mario is quite good, but it could've used some improvements.

Strider, you take things way too seriously.
No i don't think i do, i had an opinion, i expressed it. Other people took my opinion too seriously, if you ask me.

I hate the show, i defended my opinion with reason, that's it.
I haven't heard of it, so i might look at it later. If its anything like Red vs Blue, i'm out.
It's somewhat similiar, humour-wise.. at least from what i've seen. And yes, i dislike Red vs. Blue too.

I'm surprised that Dave posted something worth discussing, and not just him acting up. D:

Adults (especially those with power for some reason) usually have very little comprehension of what teenagers are doing when it comes to computers and the internet. I don't think they ever will. It's not exactly their fault if they want to prevent any sort of trouble, their mistake was not talking to the kid, though.

You do realise that he would be using his CD-Key(s) for his Steam games, hence they will be unusable? Any ones he isn't using would be handy to keep around, should he need them for anything else.

I hear Lost Planet: Extreme Condition is good.
It's not. Nice graphics, poor control and gameplay.
Get Dead Rising for the 360
Very fun game, a bit of a pain to play through though with it's uninspired save system.
Crackdown and Gears of war are good buys for the 360.
Yep, i absolutely love what i've played of the Crackdown demo. Gears of War is good too for some slightly mindless (but very pretty) action.

The Hitman games would be much better imo if our lovable agent couldn't survive a thousand bullets to the head.

You're probably not interested in console games, but Crackdown is quite fun. It's GTA + Cel-shading + Future + Cops vs. Gangs.

PC suggestions..
C&C3 is also fun, but nothing original. If you want something along those lines but with more originality, go for Supreme Commander.

in Zombie pheromone Post #219965
A technique i was once playing with before was to use an ai_relationship to get a combine to like you and an ai_goal_follow (that it?) to make him approach you. But the player had a radial trigger parented to him that triggered the ai changes to revert when he got in range. So basically, the combine followed you harmlessly, but when he was in a certain distance of you he'd revert to his normal behaviour.

It worked fine on one enemy. It should work fine on multiple.. though i can't even begin to comprehend the amount of work needed for a whole hoard of Zombies.
