yeah Creative held the MP3 market before apple came along.

It's worth buying.

Dr Strangelove is in my top 5

The movie industry isn't going anywhere. It is still a strong today as it ever has been. I love a good book, and I love a good film. Both are wonderful mediums for telling a story, and no wee jumped up ladyboy is going to change that. Especially one who is obsessed with cartoons and can't even form a coherent sentence.

J D, you have sent $10.00 USD to Sean.

it continues to amaze me how much of an idiot you are, psilous

FILM distributors are alarmed by new laws that quietly came into effect in South Australia this week restricting the promotion and display of R-rated movies.

Adults aged over 18 seeking to buy or borrow a copy of Mad Max, the acclaimed desert war drama Three Kings, starring George Clooney, the Brad Pitt classic Fight Club or the 2009 Blu Ray release of Sasha Baron Cohen's fashion parody Bruno will now find them in plain packaging displaying nothing more than the film's title.

The rule will apply to titles for sale or rent unless those titles are quarantined from all other audiovisual materials, in an area signposted with a warning.

Under changes to the state's classification act, which came into effect on Sunday, businesses will face fines of up to $5000 for displaying a "poster, pamphlet or other printed material" for films classified R18+.

The new law applies to general outlets containing films with classifications lower than R18+, and not adult-only premises.

Several distributors expressed surprise at the announcement of the law coming into effect, saying they had learned of it only yesterday. Potential Films managing director Mark Spratt, who has distributed numerous R-rated titles, including the contentious French drama Romance, said he was "gobsmacked".

"It's gone completely under the radar," Mr Spratt said.

Plain packaging would prevent consumers making informed decisions about these films, including critically acclaimed titles such as Taxi Driver and Apocalypse Now, he said.

"It's certainly discouraging people to look for these films, discouraging shops from stocking them and (creates) an extra hassle for (distributors)," Mr Spratt said. It also had the potential to harm retailers in South Australia as consumers who wanted to buy the titles with their packaging intact would shop interstate or online.

The law was announced by the office of South Australian Attorney-General Michael Atkinson, whose conservative campaigning is well known to the film industry.

Foyer stands and posters, cinema ads and billboards for R-rated films are unaffected.

I think someone needs to step forward to be the project lead. Up for it, WCD?

my vote is for Orange Box.

I think my problem with Eve might have been that 30 days just isn't long enough to get in to it

Monthly fees

ToR plans something different. No idea what yet.

I'm in.

it explains a lot about you that you consider girlfriends and "mamas" to be indistinguishable

I've always been pretty firmly against MMO games, seeing them as total wastes of time. My reluctantly accepted 30 day free trials of WoW and EVE:Online did nothing to fight their case.
WoW was almost completely mind-numbing in its grind, and EVE was just too... Spreadsheety.
Since playing them, I have yet to see anything that has even come close to sparking my interests enough to venture back into the MMO scene... Until now.

Star Trek Online and The Old Republic have my ears perked up.

Star Trek, purely because Star Trek: Elite Force remains one of my favourite games ever. (shame about the sequel.)
And ToR because it's Bioware. Nothing more needs to be said.

So, tell me the reasons why i should or shouldn't give MMOs another chance.

you seem to have listened to some of what we've said.

so why can't you listen to the repeated requests that you stop making shit threads?

you need to ask someone here for the "transparency dlls".

Honestly, why bother?
Just use Steam.

exactly what I was going to suggest, TJB

"Hehe, actually, i kinda like the idea. Sound like a mod that doesn't take years to build." - Muzzleflash in the Half-Life: Hostage Situation thread 10 Jan 2005

It's not about convincing me - I don't map for Goldsource anymore.

I can just tell you (from experience, ask anyone who was here ~3 years ago) that an inexperienced mod leader will never get the job done.

I've been trying to make some maps in Hammer 3.4

I don't think it works for GoldSource

I'm sorry, I'm just not convinced you are at a level where you can be considering a full-scale mod.
I'm not asking you to give up on this, but perhaps work on some smaller releases first - get to grip with the tools. (And yes, Hammer 3.4 is designed for Goldsource, as is its successor 3.5b. Hammer 4 and beyond are for Source only.)

P.S.
Stop spamming the forums.

you forget how horrendous software mode is until you see it again.

The content was actually not bad. My problem was with the pacing. Everything was just so slow - which is ok for a plot based machinima, but these random clip shows rely on snappy pacing and as such, this was really boring after a few minutes.
Camera movements were also pretty jumpy.

Finally, you appear to have recorded in 4:3 then exported to 16:9 so that everything is nastily squished. Record widescreen.

fffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-
And my boiler just gave out, too!

D':

Shock traps are just as effective.

my faith in humanity rests in the plea that psilous is a troll

Fuck Popcap games

Don't you dare tarnish the god-like title that is Peggle.

Also, a Goldsource-based game just isn't a marketable product anymore. Nobody would be willing to pay for a mod that isn't necessarily going to be any better than the hundreds of free mods out there.

You can not use anyone else's content without permission for financial gain. Period.

Licensing an engine costs a fuckload of money.

it's pretty clearly a l4d map, Unbreakable

My question is why?
L4D2 please.

Soup Miner doesn't. He is DECEPTICON

he'd get on well with psilous. They can exchange toys

yep. feel free to use it

You posted this in the HL1 forum. Are you trying to recreate the effect in HL1, or did you just post in the wrong forum?

If you mean Source, it's a model.
