Feedback:
Any, as long as it's constructive and well thought out.

No, to be honest.

Well, as long as I like it I don't care a fuck what anybody thinks of it. Back to the topic we go.

Actually Srry, my case isn't tackiness in its truest form. I admit that is your opinion that it's tacky, and I respect that, but just because you dont like something doesnt automatically make it tacky and shite. That Dragon case you pulled up has its good and bad points, but you dont hear me calling it tacky.

Jeantech offer a good range of cases, but personally I went for the NXZT Lexa. It looks good and its got plenty of space on the inside too!

No Rules - Growling Mad Scientists

Besides, it's a bit of fun that can always be deleted by mods and admins if it goes to far.

It was funny the first time though. Slightly.

Jeez how many more questions do you need to ask, just give him a straight answer. I myself have never experienced that sort of problem peter_boi but a reinstall of Cs:S would do no harm.

Lmao kittah invasion!

You can 'borrow' the sounds from some of the counter-strike source weapons, I have the pistol firing sounds replaced with one of the cs:s sounds and it sounds a lot better.

Kickass work RotatorSplint, this gun looks so much sexier than the Hl2 pistol. I think I've found a new favourite weapon!

awesome!

Sandy vagina....my balls are eroding!!

Anyway, congratulations on getting your book out there in the world Satchmo. I wish my doctor had half of your skills, sadly he just diagnoses everything I get as a "mild case of blah". I don't like him...

Nuuu I meant as in, can we expect some Gordon Freeman gung-ho from the character?

That sort of thing.

That was a very good read Urbanebula, I cant wait until the next installment!

Is it a Gordon Freeman character we're getting the first person perspective from?

thats sick

Ant has a point there, I was expecting like 30 of these things but I was actually quite suprised when I saw how little there was. But believe me it's still VERY annoying that Valve have contaminated Steam with this poo that passes for games. D:

OMFG what is this shite??! Valve is like a clown, nobody fucking likes their tricks! xD

You cant argue with the army's forehead strengthening exercises.

It was a good mod I'd say but it just wasnt the whole shabang.

I'd say so like

to get a 3d view you gota click on the little red camera, then click somewhere in the GRID VIEW, hold it down, drag for like a centimeter et voila you get a 3d view that you can actually use!

94) Walk around in public, cradling it and cooing at it occasionally.

I fell through the ceiling into here...

"post your comments on Valve's new GIGN model for CS:S, as seen here"

granny 0wnage!!!

but i dont know what you mean??? should i make it darker/lighter bluer/redder??

lmfao i have one of those Mr. T in your pocket jobbies! pretty dam funny to be sitting in class or on the bus and everybody hears "I pity the foo'"
0wNeD!

What's so bad about it??? I think it looks alright!

I added a lot more stuff into the section now and it looks like this:is it an improvement from what it was before?

thanks man apprecaite it

if i put cubemaps in it doesnt make any difference, it just looks precisely the same. Can I got some pointers on the lighting as well, becuase it's not exactly my strongest point.

Does my ass look big in this?Well? Does it?
Comments appreciated

well just pm me or something and no, i dont need/ or want to be payed

I'm bored and i need some sort of organised mappage for half-life 2, so give me a dingle dangle if you want me. 6 years + experience with hammer.

yeah man, i agree with SpaG. It's only used by the combine as a weapon. (ie: they stuff loads of Headcrabs into a pod and launch it at their enemies)

oh look, another wonderful job (not) well done by steam... more fun to come in half life 2 lost coast...
shakes head

[/end.shitty.disussion]

roflmao! aww shit dude....that is the best...

I have that Half Life 2 Raising the Bar book and it talks about Valve taking their inspiration from WotW

NO matter what i do, i cant get light_environments to behave properly in half-life 2. all i get is the tiniest corner of my map lit up and the rest in darkness. Does anybody out there have a solution (apart from "dont make outside levels" ....) ?

Tom Cruise sucks

well thats a given, but dont you think you should give a reason why you thought the movie sucked?

lol! zombies...brr...maybe those skinny zombies that are really fast in Half Life 2 had no food so they ate themselves, hence the haggard appearance...

Dry Kill Logic - Paper Tiger

lol thanks, I like yours too. its what daytime tv should be...
here, i know what zombies eat, they just eat people, theres proof of it in Half-Life. Theres parts were the zombies are crouched over a body and (presumably tearing bits off it and eating)
am i right?

yeah, that would be good. It would be cool if they had those big solar guns as well, well not good for Gordon, but a nic addition. But methinks that might get the copyrigh people involved...
has anyone ever heard the soundtrack to War of the Worlds, as in the audio novel?

one would presume so, and I wouldnt think Gordon would have the time to do a David Attenborough on a group of zombies...

"and here we have the now common species Zombius Eaticus..."

10 points for crap ending.
In saying that though, everything else about it was amazing. I must say the special effects are crazy and you can really see where Valve got their inspiration for the Striders.

i bet they eat miaowmix...
