I have some photos with a famous castle in our country, if I have time I'll have to see what's good to upload and also link them here.

Actually, I also have some photos of a couple of castle and medieval constructions I took last year. I'll see what I can do tomorrow, it's late now.
Yet we need to acquire more photos of mansions.
Lost my job last month? Money kinda needs to go elsewhere.Sooo... you won Archie's competition which was supposed to give you 15$ Steam games. Just pointing out.
Can we include a building like this?
Well, it definitely looks cool, but when one of my colleagues will ask me: "What's that you're wearing?"
"Oh, it's a cool mod produced by some guys from a community we're I'm active, and I'm wearing to support the mod".
"Aha...
"
Awkwardness ensues.
[EDIT] Why black? Come on man, think about your buddies from TWHL who have to endure 40C in the summer!
[EDIT2] These were just my thoughts, I'm not going to actually buy one, since the price of transport is too damn high.
[EDIT3] I'm done with the edits.
[EDIT4] No, seriously.

CT, you did say
in a short amount of time
Worldcraft
I'm running Wine 1.3.13 under Lucid Puppy Linux 525.
How come you have the beta version? It's been released.
I vote too for CS:GO, and contrary to what CT said, I say we shouldn't map "asap", instead we should take our time. Especially now when college is coming, and some of us still aren't around the forums.

Ok.
Let's make a survey in which we ask TWHL members when they feel they'll have their most free time in the near future. That way you can know when to host a new competition.
Ask Penguinboy for a poll.

I know, I was just making an adaptation for this thread. I said Urby should be a judge, I'm not excluding him completely.
Sorry if by any mean I'm sounding harsh.

Naticus seems to have exposed the less polite version of my response :).
Well, let's all be fairplay and say that everyone's dissapointed. Let's consider it a reminder for better hosted competitions in the future. I agree with Naticus, although staying optimistic, it was not fully wasted time. I flexed my texturing muscle, and anyway, enjoyed time is not wasted time.
And in the end, Archie has a life...
I find his quote from the Big Brother thread funny(slightly modified):

I find his quote from the Big Brother thread funny(slightly modified):
Why bother subscribingmapping? I'm never going to update this seriesthread again, it's so shit. I hate working on it and you probably hate watching itwaiting, so why bother? I'm sick of it.Also, in future competitions hosted by Archie, Urby should not participate, instead he should be a judge.
Well, quite a dull ending to a time consuming competition. Perhaps it was the amount of work it takes to make those textures that scared a lot of people. Frankly, if I wasn't bored I wouldn't have participated either.
I sensed from the start that Urby would win. I agree that my textures don't quite fit a theme. I know you value cleanliness in design. You can definitely see my messy style in my maps, but I'm trying to improve. In any case, it was a good exercise.
Now, what game(s) will Urby choose?

The neighbors must envy all of you when they sense the smell of fresh roasted meat.
The rails are probably made from carbon nanotube, since they resist the weight of the tram.
Like goldsource even cares...

The rail system screenshot is by far one of the most interesting mod screenshots I've seen posted here on TWHL. Nice atmosphere.
That looks gorgeous.

What?Oh dear, it's Michael Caine, not Michael Bane. Sorry, my bad.
Watched The Dark Knight Rises. Not as awesome as the first, but still a thrilling cinematic experience. The interesting part of the plot for me was the change of the 'bad guy' figure. While the Joker was still evil, he had humor, something that humanizes him. Bane( why did they use the servant actor's name?), on the other hand, lacks this. He is the expression of pure evil, even though it turns out... well, not spoiling this. It just gave me the chills...
Also, the name of the mentor could only bring me to mind Razagul( sorry for not spelling right), a Protoss character. Weird...

Urby managed to piss himself when there were like 2-3 seconds left until he could bring to light his penis.
Punish Urby for this, offer him a free trip to Shetland( couldn't find a Pissland or something appropriate really, and I found about this by reading of a bird that lives in that island in NG magazine).
[EDIT] Found out that in english the name for those birds are "Northern Gannet". In my language it's "Raven of the sea".

Yeah, we had these kinds of english tests at the end of high-school. It's the reason why I didn't have the maximum score, because at the audition test you had to give an answer like this based on hearing 2 times a conversation, NOT READING A TEXT.
Btw,
Btw,
It's all just further proof that Sir Ken Robinson is a damn smart individual.At some point that man mentions about divergent thinking. Well, I just bought some weeks ago a book: "Lateral thinking". I think it means mostly the same subject. I don't actually "learn" anything from the book, I think it's supposed to "awaken" something that's already been there in the childhood, but was forcefully put asleep by the educational system. Now I remember Red's line from The Shawshank Redemption: "The man has become institutionalized!" (not actually quoting, but he's saying something like that).
Heh, I also watched that episode. My first thought when I saw that creature was: "what a dick". Oh well...
I found an interesting site. It's Datagenics. It features a lot articles with a scientific approach to day-to-day problems. Like this counter-intuitive distribution of digits in statistics: Benford's Law.

I completed the game of life... wait, you can't do that.
On a serious note though, I can't even remember what was the last game I finished. I know I started playing Bastion a couple of months ago, and progressed quite a bit, but then exams came and I had no time of playing. The game is a nice combination of hack&slash and beautifully crafted visual arts. Not to forget about the soundtrack. Its universe is colorful and inspiring.
I wanted to also finish GTA4... well, I can't even remember the last mission.
The last game that I seriously finished and enjoyed was Stalker: Call of Pripyat( ah, so I do remember!). When I bought it I was like "meh, Steam sale, why not, I'll give it a try". After a couple of hours I got addicted and I felt bad when I finished it!
The game combines very well the simplicity of an intuitive interface with a great variety of items and weapons, as well as trading. The addicting part for me were the thrilling adventures in forsaken places for artifacts and other "treasure seeking" activities. I remember there was a big complex of city-like structures(it was also the place where at some point you'd travel underground to the city part) where night caught me. I was crapping my pants. It is that genuine feeling of traveling to a "dangerous" place, then going asap to a "safe" place that made the game so wonderful.
One thing I felt the game lacked were vehicles. Other than that, really a great game.

Darn it, that's not nice. I remember CamStudio did this to me. That software seems to be hardly updated.
I heard about Vmex, and I have it, but never tried it.
Why did you make the guy that old? I think the oldest member here is Satchmo, and he still wouldn't look like that.
Well?
Just tried it. Doesn't really work. Damn it. Still have to start the dedicated server(it works with hamachi). Fortunately copying a singleplayer world to the minecraft server is easy.
I guess it only works in real LAN.

I'm not upset at Archie, even I forgot about this! 
It creates a virtual LAN, and I used it in the past to play with friends. I hosted the server, and it worked, at least in Europe. I think this will simplify even more the way of connecting.
Good to see it's not dead.
Very often the game freezes (the game, not the executable) as if waiting for the server to say what will happen next.I've played a couple of hours, and didn't notice this happening. May I dare say you have an older PC?
[EDIT] If we use Hamachi, can we start LAN servers an play together?
Sorry, those are screenshots with me playing, I was just saying that I started playing a bit more since the update.
The 1.3.1 update brought even more goodies to Minecraft.
Well I didn't have a good idea at first what this show will be all about, but now I like this thing, I should have participated.
Only... After a couple of minutes I realized there are no girls and this has the perfect ingredients to turn into a... gay show. Seeing Skals approaching Blitzkrieg almost naked in the bed confirmed this.
For punishment, I vote Dimbark, because sculpting a massive pile of shit chocolate has no sense.
As for the show...

Watched The Terminal a couple of days ago.
[EDIT] Btw, here are some really funny movie cliches.

Nnngngnggnnn.
Never heard about this book, so I read on wikipedia. There's a striking resemblance between 1984's plot and HL2's story.
Also:
Also:
Nineteen Eighty-Four is a dystopian novel about an oligarchical society. It was banned in communist Russia and very nearly banned in the U.S. and U.K. in the early 1960s.I understand why it was banned in USSR, but I don't understand US and UK.
If you have bigger partitions with free space on the same drive with Steam, you can allocate more space to your Steam partition by using the Disk Management tool( Control Panel> System and Security> Administrative Tools> Computer Management> Disk Management).
Is this like a revamp for the original mod, or a second version? Anyways, it looks extraordinarily good, I will try it.
[EDIT] Jaw-hits-the floor. The landscape is a piece of artwork, and so is every detail. Haven't played much, just activated the antenna at the lighthouse, and it's a pleasure to see a graphic revamp of the mod. I really like it, it's easily comparable with the quality of Dear Esther in terms of atmosphere.

If this thread could be locked and it was more of a "closed" show, I think I would participate.
[EDIT] Maybe.
[EDIT 2] Blitz looks terribly European. Amirite?
[EDIT 3] Skals is a sexy woman.

You win points for saying 'the English' and not 'the British', CT, thereby exonerating me.This made me remember that I used to confuse "England" with "UK". Just looked again on the map: I wonder how children learn at geography all those districts: it's a mess.
I also discovered by chance the district of Falkirk. Instantly remembered AoE2 :).
because they still think they are better than everyone else in the world*.After having watched a documentary that was mostly centered around healthcare comparison between other countries ans U.S.A, I can almost agree with that.
