Avoid low/huge texture scales, like 0.1- or 10+

I'd definately go for the Gateway. 1000:1 contrast is pretty damn high for an LCD monitor, and the price is good too.

Well judging by Doom's movie - that's, what you should expect, if they were actually going to make something like that..

About the trailer - it was pretty well made.. You could consider it being real possible, if it was longer, had a soundtrack and some better sounds.

See, the reason why people don't make a HL movie is because it would suck.

HL isn't like Doom 3, or Halo. It has a much more interesting storyline and is overall much more original..
While HL wouldn't be the best choise for a movie - HL2 (with some extra crap added) would be quite good, if executed properly.

Very interesting and original..
The cam footage could have been longer, though.

'Most done with my HLHS chapter..
I'd enter.

It's the same, as that rumour, that Tarrantino was going to make a HL movie.
It's 100% fake.
Even the special effects in HL would cost millions, not to mention the costumes, stunts, etc.
It'd be a pretty damn huge project and a risk for the studio, since there wouldn't be any other audience, besides the gamers, who'd watch the movie.

The wpolies are still way too high for an MP map.
Did you null every unseen face? That should at least save up to 500 wpolies.

28.6 Gb drive.. ~2 Gigs of HL related stuff so far (used to have ~6)
I lose.

About the colour scheme - try cutting down on orange and adding a bit more yellowish/dark brownish colours, to fit the logo.

Lookin' good, satch.
About the design - you could add a 1px brownish/black outline to all the frames, to make the site look a bit sharper..

I also missed somethin like a 'Members' page, that'd display all of the members in that site.

The biggest archive for HL1 I've seen yet.

Great transilation..
Too bad the script was leaked.
They should really sue the guy, who did it. I'm sure, that the punishment/fine for the leaking info about the film was mentioned in his contract, or something. :

Looks pretty good.
Nice work!

Sounds like a very ambitious project to me, although if you've already spent that much time on it - you should succeed (or at least release the parts, you've done, once you grow tired of it).

Mods like Op4, BS, Azure Sheep, Life's End, etc. have loads of Black Mesa areas in them, so you might as well as ask the authors for permission to include them in your project (rmfs too).

How's the progress? How much of the complex have you already recreated?

Anyways - good luck. Looking forward to this.

WOAH!!!
That's one damn huge model archive!
This should really be in the links page.

I'm pretty sure, that Gmax can do something like that.
Try PMing Pepper, or Rimrook - they're the advanced modellers here.

In Flames - Dial 595-Escape

Rowley: That was very strong sarcasm.

The image quality is really way too paint-ish.
You can't help it, if the comic has more frames, than usual. It's no big deal, if the filesize goes over 500 kb..

I'd suggest merging 17 and 18, since 17 is pretty short and the joke is repeated.

I lack the words, to describe the fuzzy goodness of your music taste, Rowley.

Foo Fighters - End Over End

That's very sad..
He seemed very enthousiastic in his shows.

Pretty short, although the quality is obiviously increasing with every issue.

That kicked ass

A pic of the layout would help.

TWHL in economic mode?

Sexy as hell.
Can't wait to see the c4 exploding there. Blood, gibs n' props everywhere!!

Well I've been in servers, that were jerking around with MetaMod, although this.. this is just crazy.
Loved the flying carpet idea.

Even if the centre itself has really smooth walls - the wall textures should still have a more noticeable bumpmap (if it's plastic - try something gradient-like).
Something else to break up the emptiness of the walls would be great too. More supports, maybe some horizontal ones in the upper part?

Try rotating the monitors/comps/changing the view on the screen to give it a more realistic, random-ish look.

Indeed.

Thanks for the comments.
I'll try updating every 2-3 weeks from now, if I don't run out of ideas.

Yeah, that might be it..
You should just try changing the hull, according to the way, the tentacles move.

I still don't get the idea, of putting freeware games on a HL-oriented game platform.
Sure - it's not the end of the world, but still - it's rather annoying to have your game menu cluttered with games you don't need (organised or not). They could have at least made a separate folder for all of those demos.
Although Zuma is pretty damn addictive, I tells ya.

Very Beautiful..

Issue 4!That's the first issue, that I've made a map for.

Is it possible? If you can have a func_tank, that shoots the player in multiplayer - yes.
Will it work? If the teams won't involve fraggers, who'll just kill the opposing team - yes.

Env_fade won't work, if you want all of your models in normal colour.
Although it would let you customize the effect more.

It's not just the level design - it's the overall design.
Woo! New FPS from EA/Dice/Whatthefuckever!

You play as John Smithstish, an I'm-really-pissed-cause-my-nemesis-slaughtered-my-family-and-chopped elite swat/special forces guy and fights for all, that's good (that usually involves killing thousands of 'bad guys, who probably have families too)..
So you go on, through like 15-20 seamless missions, that might involve some thinking, before you shoot, die and quickload for the 100th time. And then you finally get your revenge on the guy, who killed your family.

Of course, the game will have amazing new weapons, that somehow might remind you of the ones you saw @ Splinter Cell and other FPS games..

And let's not forget about the retail package, that's gonna have "Amazing new gameplay", "50+ Newly designed weapons" and crap like that all over it..
:

.. and you still haven't finished it all.
That's my point. I never said anything bad about the gameplay.

..?!

The Elder Scrolls : Oblivion has no end.
There's just too much to do there.. I'd like to see someone, who had the patience to actually complete everything in that game..

Amon Amarth - The Valkyries Ride

If you tie the brush to func_monsterclip - it won't work.
The monsters, that you want to be blocked must have 'monsterclip' ticked in the flags.

You need 3 models for each animation, since cycler can only show the idle animation.

The strong colour theme isn't suited for forums..
The user's eyes would get tired way too quick of the reddish colours. I'd get tired too, after reading through a few topics. Try something lighter for forums.

GameCam is good, although the full Fraps ver. is much better.. :

Neat pic, Joba..

If Ep1 costed 19$ - Ep2 + TF2 should cost over 30..
