Oh my god, I laughed so hard on this one http://img245.echo.cx/img245/4659/sillydoom39jn.jpg

What are "turnips" anyway

They're like big radishes.

Oh. I thought you were talking to me since you quoted me. I guess you were just saying "speaking of christmas lights".

Why didn't you just say "my" instead of "your"?

Huh?

Nice end to my story, Dave

Nice, Zombie.

I'll take a crack at it. This should be obvious which part of the game I'm talking about.
"It's ready! You must go! Now!" yelled the mammoth machine's operator. As quickly as he could, Gordon closed his eyes, braced himself, and dove into the rapidly distorting blob of dark matter. A bright flash of light pierced through his eyelids as he struggled to keep himself together after hearing the deafening sonic boom. A few seconds passed with nothing but the sound of an alien wind flowing through his ears. Then a voice, seemingly coming from within his mind, spoke up, "Comes another..."
Shaken, but pumped with adrenaline, Gordon quickly opened his eyes and shifted his head from side to side, up and down, looking on in awe of the world that he was in. The first thing he noticed was the sky. It seemed the go on forever, devouring everything, pulling it all into a green abyss. The turf was covered with webs and assorted organic fluids. The land itself felt alive, with a pulse and a breathing rate. It was unsupported, floating in large pieces in no particular order. The void below was completely engulfed in a dark green fog. Then he noticed a rather large piece of land floating in the air several hundreds of feet below him. It was big enough to be a small settlement. Branching from it were three massive pillars that emitted large charges of blue electricity. the pillars stood tall and proud, showing off their intimidating power for the entire planet to see. A fairly close piece of turf caught Gordon's eye. It couldn't be more than twenty yards away from him. And another twenty yards from that chunk was another chunk. And another, and another. If he was careful, he could utilize his longjump module to leap to them. He formed a mental path from each piece of land to the next. Ultimately his path led him to the large chunk of turf below.
Gordon crouched down, activated his longjump module, and took a massive leap off the living ground. But he had misjudged the gravitational force on this alien planet, he was going to pass the land! Wild thoughts of fear and anxiety rushed through Gordon's mind. The green abyss below was ready for him, it anticipated his arrival. He looked for anything that he could grab to stop him from passing his goal. A glowing crystal was the only thing he saw, and so as soon as he was within arms length, he reached out and took hold of the crystal. The sudden stop send a horrible pain through his arms, but he had indeed landed safe and sound on his first goal. Thinking more carefully this time, he made a second leap and landed safely on the third piece of land. Shortly after landing, Gordon's focus was disrupted by the sound of a bolt of electricity behind him. He spun around just in time to see a wormhole closing behind him and an alien slave standing at the exist of the portal. He quickly pulled out his shotgun and unloaded two shells on the abomination, sending its body flying into the darkness.

And that's where I'll stop. I was going to write all the way to when he starts fighting Gonarch but I lost interest quickly. Bleh. By the way, nice, Kasperg.

I hate it when my parents force me to go to *cough*church on Christmas.

Dude I have to go to church every week, don't complain.
I like the look of Christmas lights, I hate setting them up. Especially because I'm the only one capable of setting them up outside my house, so I have to do it every time. It sucks.

Hurray for geezers like us.

"War is sweet to those who have never experienced it."

Read The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien if you want true insight to what it's like to be in a war(it's the Vietnam war, though).

That's pretty creepy. You should replace it with the head of the Burger King, then at least you stand a chance and getting a free croissandwich.

Welcome back for the... what... twentieth time?

Well I waited for a 4000 pictures to load and it wasn't there. I guess it really was deleted. Damn.

Pepper's lobby map comes to mind when I think of it, strangely enough.

Yes, there were big pine trees, and there was a house. I don't remember being able to walk around on or in the skybox, though. Probably just never found it. You got a name ?

For some reason I'm having a flash of retro fever and I'm trying to dig up all the maps that appeal to me as "authentic", or just maps that are somewhat classics.

I've already gone though all the maps. All 51 pages of them, and I didn't find it. I know that I skipped over it, I had to, because I've seen that screenshot time and time again in the vault. I don't want anybody to go through the vault, page by page, looking for this screenshot. I'm asking anybody who might happen to know which map I'm talking about, or at least some possible maps, to give me a link. If you start going through pages of maps, I'm happy that you're willing to do that for me, but I would rather you not.
By the way, I've also searched "snow", "winter", "duel", "dual", "small", and even "christmas" and it didn't show up. Hope that limits the possibilities a little

Of course I mean TWHL when I say "this site".
You actually probably joined after the map was first submitted, so I'm not expecting you to have any memory of it.

I need to find a Half Life(as in HL1, no mods) map that's on this site, but I can't find it. I'm asking anyone else who thinks they know which map I'm talking about to get me a link. The problem lies in how much I actually know about the map. Or rather, how little I know: The screenshot pictures the player holding a shotgun looking out into a small field of snow. There are a few trees and, if I remember correctly, there is a small cliff a that runs along to each side of the screenshot. The only thing having to do with comments or the discription that I remember is that someone(or several people) commented on how small it was.
That's all I know about it(other than the fact that it's for HL1). No name, no author, no ingame memory, no rating, no full comments. Nothing.
I also think that it's fairly old, but I'm not sure. I know it'snot recent, though.
Help...?

Everything in CZ looks better than 1.6,

Well no SHIT. CZ was developed several years after CS, and introduced detail textures to into the Goldsource engine, which still haven't been applied to 1.6 maps (by default). If thats the only reason you're playing CZ then you should be smacked across the face. All CZ maps are available over the internet, and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of custom models, sounds, and sprites(and defaults) available that use CZ content(usually the arms) online. I think the only true original enhancement was the smart hostage system.

Gotta love heated debate.

(can you picture a cheer leader in a trench?)

I can, but she wouldn't be a soldier

I don't think anyone has even brought up testosterone and estrogen yet, which surprises me a lot. If you want to blame it all on chemestry, then men are more suited for war because of the "testosterone factor". Men tend to get more fo a rush out of violence than women, whereas women are more "womanly" because of the "estrogen factor". Most women, even if they were qualified to be on the army, probably wouldn't want to be because it's such a bloody and brutal environment, for the most part, no matter what your position is. Bring on your arguements, but I'll stand by my opinion.
HOWEVER, ultimately, I do believe that it boils down to individual capability.

You gotta agree with Saribous here.
Countries don't give a shit bout' other countries.

It's not just America, of course.
I knew Lithuania existed!

No, you don't.

Yes, I did. You shouldn't just say that we don't know becuase you know, because some of us don't prefer to leave ourselves in the dark.

Black Mesa!

Clicking them will cause them to stop there movement so you can kill them with a block, if the opportunity shows.

Is that a bug that you are trying to make sound like a real part of the game, or did you actually set that scenario up on purpose? It seems pretty cheap if you can just click on an NPC and the NPC will stop moving. Couldn't you just click all of them at the start of the puzzle to remove the threat of being killed?

Omfg teams!

My grandfather died on this day 8 years ago.

You mean like this?

I have to agree with the others. It looks like you are trying a new kind of mapping style but it doesn't seem to be working for you. And of course, its extremely bland. NEEDS MOAR LAZORS! SP or MP? If its MP then its got killbox-esque potential, which doesn't say much nowadays, but if its SP then... well what are you actually going to have the player do? Fight in a dome?

Doom III was way too heavy on phong, agreed. Personally I thought FEAR had the best balance of texture overlays out of all the "modern" games.
How was the Doom III's engine better than Source, though? The textures were blurry, the engine obvious didn't support wide open areas very easily, the physics sucked [hard], and there was no bloom or HDR type lighting. It had great fire and volmetric lighting but that's about it as far as I can see. Doom II for the win.

Hell I'd buy it.

Bleh, parallax decals are good enough for me when it comes to a deconstructable world(in terms of normal walls, floors, and ceilings).

What the fuck, Highlander! You're a stormtrooper!

AUXSUM! This is going to be an amazing breakthrough once the game is actually released to the public(assuming it doesn't hog the amount of reosurces that we think it does).

Righto. I was also thinking of Ritual Entertainment as well(which also has only done work with Valve, I believe).

OH LOOK! ANOTHER ZOMBIE GAME!
Well at least its not just another mindless zombie shooter(or is it just one in disguise?). I might take a look at it but I have an overall negative outlook when it comes to zombie games.

Zombie, Turtle Rock works a helluva lot with Valve on major projects. I don't think I've ever seen a game that they haven't worked with Valve on, actually.

That forest looks amazing, Rim! Though at first I thought it was all brushwork, then I saw "I made this in Max" and thought, "Damn". But it still looks amazing. Will you ever be able to utilize terrain to accomplish a goal or will it all be on blocks?

That's pretty fucked up.

The problem in that is that a lot of people online don't want to be smarter. They just want more zomg fragz and pwnage lol. I've found its much better to just prove that you are smarter then them because then they get pissed off even more

"'Leet' is short for 'elite' because its generally used by more advanced computer users"
Hahahahahahahaha
Yeah, look at us keeping our parents in the dark using this incredibly complicated code. 3s as "E"s? WHODUTHUNK?!Lets all talk in leetspeak so out parents don't know just how badly we pwned that guy! omfg rofl 1|| t3h buttseckz!

info_player_deathmatch (When Terrorist) and info_player_start (When Counter-Terrorist) when playing CS, to see if there are any fellow mappers playing.

Win!

France got pwned.

No one but nature to fight, France still loses

Edit: You're right, God doesn't have anything to do with this. I have someone else in mind...*Saw it, had to post it.

Oh god, if you guys are going to start listing servers you've been banned from I don't even want to start counting mine. Hacking can be fun, just leave it at that

Coolfat3459 - Born several years ago as a replacement name for "coolguy", which was already taken as a yahoo account and the number "3459" having a specific sentimental memory with me.

Worldcraft Dude - Random name I decided to use when registering at TWHL(originally planned on not being an active member).

World Crafter - My most recent name branching from "Worldcraft Dude". Its meant to imply that am a mapper, and that I am creative/unique.

Gaming names
Cheesy Goodness - Does it really need a reason? Christ, its CHEESE!, what more do you want?

Take my hand - Usual name when playing The Specialists(among several other "serious" names). Named after the lyric fragment in Metallica's Enter Sandman.

Batman - Name used in FEAR online. Fuck Joker.

Now that I think about it:
Banned from http://web1.eco1051.netclusive.de/phpmyforum/ (The people who stole Sm0k3y's map.This is the thread)
Time: No idea, probably permanent.
Reason: Spamming their forums with goatse and other crap because of what they did

Never been banned from anything. I got moderated on HIT, which I actually find miraculous, but that's the full extent of my forum punishment.

That doesn't mean a thing. It was a choice between two evils. Everyone hated both of the candidates.

Its about time!
I don't think I've ever looked forward to any 3rd party mod as much as I'm looking forward to BM:S.

i was talking to rabideh a while ago, and he said he might be leaving BM: S, so i'm not sure if he has or not..

I pmed him about being on the BM:S team a while ago, he told me the same thing. It was several months ago, though so...

Oh yes, we Americans are such failures.
