I'm looking to drastically increase my music library, with a little help from YOU. I want some recommendations that most of you agree with (like Eels, everyone seems to like Eels!!) So can you people recommend to me the three best songs, of your favourite bands. It takes along time to download anything on my net, and i want the songs to be worth it!! 
Ill pick bands/songs that larger numbers of you tend to agree with.

System didn't make the Zelda song, Rabbit Joint did.

I personally think the HL2 textures are horrible to map with, they dont exactly line up evenly (tiles and such) and there's bugger all in the way of nice 'trim' and 'glue' textures. Also alot of the textures need bumpmapping and shader effects to be effective. But that aside, i'm sure lot's of people would use it Rimrook.
Well just to stir up shit, i use both Mozilla and Opera, i find Opera does not download effectively with my net (any attempt to stop and resume downloads just restarts the entire process, meaning downloading big files over two or three days is impossible in Opera and Getright is fecking useless). I download larger files with Mozilla, browse sites and IRC with Opera. Works out fine for me. The difference between Mozilla and Opera is minimal, complaining about it too is just fecking pointless.

I liked Doom 3 for what it was... spooky and occasionally clever. But technically and Graphically it just doesn't compare to Half-life 2. And complaining about Doom 3 not keeping the feel of the originals is quite dumb considering they were made many many years apart and Doom1/2 were that way due to the technical limits of the time, i always thought D3 was very true to the originals (monsters, The UAC, weapons, even some textures).
Results may vary, this is one of many ways to put your chook in a trance, like you've always wanted to. Now, to find a chicken...
HOW TO HYPNOTIZE A CHICKEN
1) Grab the back of it's neck gently and direct it's gaze to ground directly infront of it, softly pushing it's head/beak level with the ground.
2) Using your finger or a stick, draw a line in the soil from the tip of it's beak straight out in the direction its looking.
3) Release it's head calmly and continue drawing the line for one or two metres (or until its out of the view of the chicken which should be facing down at the ground).
The chicken will be hypnotized and just stare at the ground infront of it for a good manner of time, longest recorded time is up to fourty-something minutes. More than enough time for you to turn it into this.

Oh, and GO AUSSIES!I'm with you there.

Have you ever played DOOM 3 on the Xbox? It is the most incredible looking game and it runs PERFECTLYIt does not run perfectly, it runs at a lower framerate, and looks equivalent to Doom 3 on PC on Medium or Low quality.
Doom 3 (on X-box and PC) is infamous for its low-resolution textures with simple bumpmaps. The only real lead Doom 3 has over HL2 is its stencil-shadows and they are only implemented to scare you. Graphically and Technically Source shits on the Doom 3 engine.
HL1 is a good game, but HL2 just pushed the standards further.
Big speeds make Strider jealous...
Yes HL2 is better in terms of Graphics and Tech, but HL1 will always have that old-school appeal. The DOOM 3 engine was good for one game, Doom 3! Quake 4 is a turd, and yes the physics in the Doom 3 engine are quite pathetic, anyone who's played Ressurection of Evil will know it's simply an attempt to compete with HL2 (C'mon it has it's own physics gun!). The texture quality in Doom 3 is far worse than what HL2 can do, most textures are 256x256!!! wtf.
They Hunger is not scary. The last stage of Spear of Destiny was back in the day, blasting Nazi's then suddenly your up against ghosts and the 'angel of darkness'...
I found this quite funny.
Apparently the cat's owner asked for a 'line cut' but the groomer mistook it for a 'lion cut'. Poor kitty.
Yes i figured, it seriously does not make sense, im supposed to be far slower than him, but at times im almost double his speed.
Yes that makes no sense Ansith, a dialup running faster than ADSL :

Can you disable motion on physboxes and trigger them to enable? If so, why not give all the barrels the same name, make each of them on break, trigger themselfs, and enable motion on the physboxes.
Erm, 31kbps? That's not right.My internet 'jumps around' speed-wise, some days it's 28, some 31, some 33, if i'm lucky it's 45.... their the good days...
I have 33k people and I've downloaded all the Steam games before, but there's narry a peep out of me. Yes, 33k - a max download speed of 3kbps.
I have 60% of HL downloaded, the rest of the mods and expansion packs range from around 40% downloaded to about 2% downloaded... sigh
Yes Highlander... it will 
I have to redownload Half-life, Op4, Blus-Shift and all the mods for Steam, on dialup that runs at about 31kbps average... i know how you feel.
It's the type of thing that happens in millions of movies... you know 'send in the specialist' and Gordon's proven himself. Seems fine to me.
Its not that annoying...

Another nice little mod to look out for! 
If i cant find anything a rusty ol' crowbar will have to do!
ED: That is unless someone is willing to model me a nice machette in place of it wink wink

I love the word 'Combustion' so i automatically like this mod! 
And that screeny you posted looks very nice, appears very Anime inspired like you said.

Horror maps are the shit, i dont play Cs but i will play this!
Does the model for the 'ice-axe' still exist somewhere out there in the world-wide-web? That would be a nice replacement if i skinned it right. And thankyou G_KID!
You should make the kid look sad when 50-cent wants his ice-cream! 
Thank you! Im looking for a replacement for the crowbar (A machette or spikey-wooden club-like thing... something!) but i cant find anything suitable.. :S
Hehe
NO Hitler was the final Boss, wang.
SKINNING UPDATE:
I have finished re-skinning the Fast Zombie model, i'm quite pleased with how he turned out too:
I've done a little work on the citizen-corpse model, mainly around the hole, i'm quite definate he's gonna' stay like this from now on:
I'm about 80-90% done skinning the Antlion model (my premise was to make the Antlion look as it would if it was adapted to a jungle or forest-like climate), still some work to be done on the rear of the model:
REST OF THE MOD:
I'm moving on to re-skinning the weapon models and the players hand next. Work on maps is slow right now, im pretty much in process of researching a range of ancient architecture to decide how my sanctuary will look and making the materials. A little bit of sound work has been done on the weapons and monsters, not much else.

Wolf 3D was ID's first semi-3D shooter, Doom came later. Wolf is teh pwn no denying, its the big daddy of all ID games! Doom is good but dull compared to the fun of shooting Hitler in a robot suit.
Wolf came before Doom - that's all im saying 
It is declared true by order of the crazy font...
Wolfenstein came first SaltyCrak
If a man with a split-personality disorder tries to kill himself - is that a hostage situation???
Wolfenstein 3D ftw.
Recalled huh? I got the collector's edition just before it sold out in Kalgoorlie. Now iv'e got a HL2 shirt that i wear everywhere... not, just to bed... occasionally... sometimes. 
Valve and Vivendi Universal were arguing about something or other weren't they? That could of been what EB was ranting about...?
Well ta' Daubster, Habboi, 7th and Urb!
I noticed a big difference in bumpmap quality before i put "nocompress" in the .txt file, before bumpmaps turn blocky or squarish in one direction.
Its only a minor story at the moment, plan so far is to have it set sometime around 1980 or 1990 and the player is an explorer/archeologist of sorts who discovers a temple with evidence that the Xen creatures have been on earth before. But alas the story is not what i'm concentrating heavily on so far... it is after all a mini-mod!
Some people might notice i introduced bump-maps to the citizen model to make him look all... scabby. The original citizen model was only vertex-lit, with no-bumpmapping applied.

add "nocompress" "1" to the normal's .txt file then recompile it through Vtex....?
Alright iv'e begun work on a new mini-mod for HL2 not set in City 17 or the HL2 timeframe!! Hooray for me..
It's got a minor background story (not telling!) and hopefully alot of custom content, so far iv'e started work on some custom skins for the npc's, some texture work and a little mapping work. For those who are wondering 'Ataxia' is both a muscle problem and a word for chaos/disorder. Sanctuary means.. well you should all know what that is.
The plan so far is to have the core gameplay based around traps and puzzles with the occasional fight thrown in for good measure, aiming for around 3 - 4 maps thus far. It's all in it's VERY early stages so far, here are some WIP screens:
A reskinned Citizen as a slighly rotted corpse (not a zombeh!)
The Fast Zombie reskinned to look more old/decayed, custom sounds are currently being applied to it.
What's this? Oh it's a nice little floorswitch, no biggy.
Things planned for mod:
I may need some help further down the track so keep an eye out ok? Progress updates will be infrequent due to a severe lack of work-time recently. What do you think so far? Constructive criticism welcome.

- No sprint/aux power function;
- Healing pools rather than medkits;
- Very little weaponry picked up (1 melee, 1 gun, possibly 1 other special type of weapon)

Seriously, you're all fucked. Who gives a shit, they're just a bunch of retarded morons, just ignore 'em!Its a growing trend, among other hopless ones. Sooner or later it's going to be very hard to ignore Emo's, especially when your surrounded by them! :
I like to dress in black clothes (well shirts really anyway ) and i do like to keep to myself when im not in a social mood, this doesn't mean im a goth, the type of goths im talking about are those who just take it too far, looking unbeleivably pale, wearing black funeral-looking clothes, generally looking like Marylin Manson crossed with Michael Jackson. Those type of people i just dislike... alot.
