Oh did I? Fair enough. I just re discovered it and couldnt remember ever posting it here.

Maybe we just control the world by bombing everyone else.

Give that man half a cookie, half because you dont control the world, you are just one of the most influencial countries in it. Mainly because you invade weaker countries and rape them for their oil, which powers your economy.

Made this years ago when garrys mod was just getting popular. Its a music video I made, tell me what you think.

I agree, when ever ol' confusious started up on his little wistle pipe thing it got annoying, the traps were cool and annoying at the same time.

I would hate to meet people who have the time to make these.

Lohng Dohng: Here, take one of my business cards. Annoying whistle music starts. Lohng drops a marble onto a small sledge, 10 minuets later a small wooden arm slowly winds out towards you with a business card and a marble on it.

Lohng Dohng: Would you like a drink? Annoying wistle music starts...

Although, if it was an actual practical application, like handing out a business card in an office, it would be pretty effective. People would remember you when they look at your card because of the obscure manner in which it was given.

Ahh memories, I am listed in that photo album somwhere, I agree it does bring a community closer together when you have a photo album.

Monkey! To work on it!

No really, I think we should make somthing like this.

That is an amazing way to start a forum.

I seriously doubt the guy had 2million hits in the time it took to discuss it in this thread. Still, if he girlfriend belives it, hes only cleaver man.

Plus, he started a forum, which people will join.

Some of my map screen shots are on that PHL news bulliten.

Awesome that you have got around to this again Blizrun, I cant wait to see what happens with Dark Truths.

WOW! Sweet dude! Awesome that you linked it to this site

Annoyingly once installed it refuses to update, comes up with an error that it is unable to connect to the patch server or somthing. Tis' a shame it looked good.

I do have HL2, but I cant play it at the moment because my main computer is still down, HL1 barley runs on this one.

I am going to sign up to this and see what its like, if its a purley text based game with NO graphics what so ever, I wont play it. I have seen enough "FREE MMO!!1" which were rubbish and only based in text.

This does look quite good though, 43% downloaded already.

Just because some rough end white man acts, speaks and sings like a black man, and sings songs about how he is going to kill you and hurt your and do bad things in the form of rap DOES NOT mean you can condem all rap as bad.

Of course, you are entitles to your opinion but look at all sides of it before you close and bolt the door. Papa Roach was one of the bands (one of the many bands) I grew up listning to, they have some rap moments in their songs, does that mean they are rappers? No.

Limp Bizkit is an excellent band with songs that have a lot of meaning behind them and that you can relate too, they are mostly rap. Sure, they have some songs which could be condemed as 'violent songs' but that doesnt mean that all rap, and in turn all their music, is bad.

Its a common feeling that rap is going to be the downfall of America, but thats rubbish. If America is going to fall its going to be the usual suspects; Ignorance, Arrogance, Self-Rightiousness and Icolation. Its happened before it will happen again, America is no different.

No offence in any way towards any Americans, I am not calling you all Ignorant or Arrogant or self righious, I am saying they are the reasons that your country will fall, if indeed if survives to fall on its own (There isnt some nuclear war or natural catastrophy). Everyone these days seems so eager to place blame on others for their problems, and not look onto themselfs and see the fault is as much their own as the ones they are blaming.

Alright girls, put your handbags away.

Ant: Anyone can make mistakes, as he said it was early in the morning, I am sure we all know that feeling. You should know better.

Perhaps you would like to Upload the HL1 version while we wait for the HL2 version?

You guys do realise its an online game, right? You go around throught the eyes of the FBI guy and have to click on clues and such.

I loved DOD 1, I would play DODS but I am not willing to pay for it.

It wouldnt be hard to convert it over to relate to Half-Life 2.

I belive he was simply throwing around different concepts for a fresh style of game play, one that has more planning and strategy than most FPS games you see today. Most FPS seem to follow the trend of 'New area, kill everything, new area, kill everything, new area, get new gun, kill everything.'

Even Half-Life 2 had this base element in it, though it was made up for with the graphics, story and physics. I think what Proffessa Oak is getting at is giving the player much more freedom.

"No, I dont want to have to kill that Combine, I want to sneak past him or knock him out or even bribe him." Deus Ex is one of the games which had this done quite well in it, you could build your character completly freely depending on what game style you wanted. You could just train yourself into some sort of walking guns platform and expert but the option was there to do so much more. There was also a lot more freedom in how to complete the levels, nothing in the game was liniar, which is somthing a LOT of games these days dont have.

I am interested in your idea Proffessa Oak and look foward to this demo to get a better insight into what you have in mind.

Sounds awesome. I had no idea about that steam thing, I hope they dont delete my account while I am away.

Rim: If your using a sword like that, perhaps using old muskets and flint pistols might be an idea too?

There is a massive difference between reading about a violent act and then watching / participating in a violent act. Reading about people getting their heads cut off is part of history, there isnt anything damaging about it. Watching some gangster cut somone head off on your mates cell phone, now that is disturbing, trust me.

Sounds good, your points stand though, making a 747 worthy of source would be nearly impossible, taking into account it has to be a playable half decent map. Perhaps if you just mapped the inside? And just did the connection from the terminal into the plane itself, try to cut out as much of the outside of the plane as possible.

Still, this sounds very hard, good luck with it.

Ahh I see, well thats nothing to do with me, thats just the copy and paste botch from Word to the forums.

Anyway, chapter three is on the way.

I hate it when TV channels cut out bits of films because they are considered "too violent". Just the other night I was watching a film where the hero was fighting the bad guy at the end, the bad guy had two flaming swords and the hero was trying to pushes them away from his face, next thing you know the flaming swords are gone and the bad guy is picking himself up off the floor, I was like "WTF! BASTARDS!". Ah well, was an absouly shit film anyway.

I played no jokes, I am too old for such childish things.

I am really shocked no one has decided to try and make CS_747 before now, its true that it may well be a touchy subject for a lot of people but if you let it affect you like that then the terrorist have won.

I would LOVE to play a CS_747 map on source, just because gun fights on planes are so much fun. If you let the events of 7/11 impare your options and abilities in a game then thats another point to the terrorists which commited the acts. I think its high time that somone made a 747 map in source, but then I wasnt affected as strongly by 7/11 as other people may have been and I dare say there may well be some complaints and such made if valve released one.

In the same respect I would happily make a CSS map based in a london underground train station, even after the bomb attacks on it. Again, there would no doubt be complaints made from people in the UK if one was released.

With no disrepect to anyone effected by such events, everyone has problems. You cant expect the whole world to tread on egg shells just because you got burned. I got cancer, that doesnt mean I go around telling everyone they should stop smoking and sign up to the cancer research charity.

I use them to highlight when a character is speaking, its standard procedure for a novel.

"We've got 400 miles of open road, a full tank of gas, its late and we're wearing sunglasses."

"Hit it!"

Sacho, squashing a bumble bee hardly compares to mutalating a human with explosives or running somone over in a car while blasting away with a 9mm automatic out of the side window.

Update: Chapter 2.

Currently it might seem as though nothing is happening but I am going somwhere with this dont worry. Feedback would be nice.

Chapter 2: Hi-ho, hi-ho, it?s out of work I go?

Marcus half opened his eyes, the alarm trap which was converted into an alarm clock was beating its bone hammer against the skull with a bell inside it. He slowly turned his head to look at the time; it was four thirty seven in the morning. His alarm was playing up again; it had a habit of going off at random some times. Calmly and quietly he rolled and reached down to the floor next to his bed, with lightning speed he rolled back swinging his arm overhead and brining down his sword onto the infernal alarm with a heavy blow. The skull shattered sending pieces of metal and bone flying in all directions. He released his grip upon the sword and tried to be drawn back into the eternal peace of alcohol induced comatose, he failed. Groaning he sat up in his bed, and rubbed his face with one hand.

?Bastard alarm.? He grumbled.

Peeling himself out of his bed he staggered towards the bathroom, drinking the bitter sweet stale water straight from the tap, it woke him up considerably. He shook his head letting his check go limp producing a gurgling like sound. A few moments later he walked back into the main room of his apartment he surveyed the amassment of junk and random pieces of battered and worn armour against the far wall which he referred to as his ?wardrobe?.

?Waking me up so early? ?kin thing?? He mumbled glancing over to the sword now wedged stiff into the cabinet which had once been where his alarm had perched.

Half willingly he slowly gathered and donned his old suit of Black Knight armour, picked up his shield, pushed his helmet over his hair and pulled the sword from the cabinet, which then promptly collapsed. ?Another day in the life of?? he thought. He cleared his throat and made circles with his shoulders, gripped his shield straps and sword and performed his little morning routine.

?Warfare! Warfaaaare!? He half shouted beating his sword against his shield.

?Shad-dap in dere ya fu?kin idiet!? Came pounding through the wall on the beat of a trolls hammer.

Marcus checked the cupboards of his pantry, but found nothing save dust and that old bottle of ?King?s Wine? he had picked up at that party the one time, but never got around to drinking because it looked so god awful.

?Didn?t think so.?

He would have to buy his breakfast at that ?all day food? shed on the corner of Blood-Rain street on his way to work, again. He picked up his money pouch, noting how light it was, and his keys and walked out of the door, closing and locking it behind him. That was one of the bonuses of working as an attraction at the ?Hero Museum?; all the attractions were magical constructs, you act it out, someone prints your magical signature into a rune, the rune sits in a glass box and when people walk past they can see what is was you did in a type of mist that portrayed you in a moving picture.

Marcus almost enjoyed working at the museum; he stood in a glass box in his tattered armour and allowed himself to be beaten up by some other dead beat who was dressed in polished Hero Armour, meanwhile a warlock used his powers to scribe this into the rune. The problem was however that the rune didn?t always take well to the magic and sometimes did not record the image properly, so Marcus would usually find himself being beaten up and fighting with the would be Hero over and over just to get the right rune recording. On the up side the combat with the other man dressed in Hero Armour had raised his combat level to three and a half. Of course you could raise your combat level to four in a training center but that costs money and they are usually full of ?Hero Hunter Guild? trainees and a few level five and six macho men who get laid by showing off how powerful and strong they are smashing up a training dummy designed for level four combat at most. Marcus really did wonder sometimes if the Reaper had taken intelligence with him when he disappeared.

Marcus bought what could only be described as mashed up worms with meat flavoring in between two pieces of stale bread at the all day ?food? shed and preceded into work. Reaching the large, once impressive, front gates of the museum Marcus gazed upon them in wonder and pity, they had fallen into disrepair over the years but had once been the pinnacle of the underworlds engineering. Passing the gates he walked around the side to a small barricaded door down an alley way, he knocked on the door three times. The shutter on the door opened and a goblin?s small green face stared out at him for a moment, recognizing him the goblin inside unbolted the door and pulled it open.

?Your early today aint? yeh? Well whatever, I dunt wanna know, the boss wants to see yeh right away.?

Marcus didn?t say anything and instead proceeded to walk inside and up the stairs to the Museum Directors Office.

?YOU?RE FIRING ME? You cannot be serious!? He shouted at the boney scribe which sat behind the large desk.

?I work for hardly anything as it is? Why are you firing me?? He leaned forward on the desk in a menacing manner, his sword in hand.

The scribe didn?t even look up, he simply pulled his glasses from his face and began to clean the three lenses with a think silk cloth, keeping Marcus waiting for an answer, having finished he replaced his glasses and spoke.

?It is unfortunate to have to let you go and I assure you it is not because of your pay or your ability to perform the role, its just we are replacing the Black Knight in the scenes you do with a more public friendly character.?

?You?re replacing the Black Knight with a different character??

?Yes, with a mistress, if its what people want they are more likely to come and see it, and who could want to see more than a mistress in combat with the great ?Unther the Bold?.?

?But the legend states that Unther the Bold defeated hordes of Black Knights, he didn?t fight any Mistresses! This is complete-? Marcus was stopped mid sentence by a very firm hand grasped around his throat.

He had only raised his sword a foot in the air, his aim to release anger by smashing it into the desk of the scribe. The Scribes personal security were very effective at managing to stay completely hidden, even if they are stood next to you, you would have no idea they were even in the room. They were exceedingly good at their job, hard to identify as well, as they wore robes. They were large and strong though at any rate, and with lightning fast reflexes to boot Marcus soon found himself face down pinned to the floor.

?Thank you Marcus, your services to this museum are most appreciated, throw him out.?

Marcus felt a cold rush of air and then water seeping in through his suit. When he opened his eyes he was laying on his back, half submerged in the stale stagnant waters of the small river just outside the museum.

?Must have been some sort of teleportation spell? He thought. The large throbbing lump on the back of his head told him otherwise. Angry and a little groggy he stumbled to his feet, water pouring out of the slits in his suit. His feet were uneasy and he looked down to try and find out what it was he was sitting on. Scattered across the bottom of the river were literally thousands of rusty weapons and armour. Daggers, swords, helmets, everything you could think of. It was all worthless of course, no one was going to by a rusted solid helmet with a large, possibly blood stained, caved in dent in the top.

Angry and somewhat humiliated he slogged through the water to the wooden bridge, after a moment to try and drain as much of the water as possible from his suit, he started walking home.

I also insist you add me to the testing list, seeing as I am now organising this

...until I get a HD-capable LCD-TV.

You do realise that no channel actually broadcasts in HD? And that no channel will for about another three years? Buying a HD TV wont improve the picture from your console games unless you have a non decent TV to start with.

Its so funny, loads of people are going out and buying HD TV's just because the name implys that it has a better picture, it doesnt do shit unless you are watching a HD program / material and there isnt any around yet!

"Dont worry Gordon, I'm sure everything is going to be fine." - I am sure you know what happened next, its from Half-Life of course.

Just a small fan fiction like story I am writing at the moment, just though I would post it here and see what you guys think of it. Constructive critisism welcome.

Keeper of the Dungeons.
By Tycell

Chapter 1: The bottom of the bottle.

Marcus finished off the remaining liquid in his tankard, he had asked for ale and the barkeeper insisted that it was indeed ale but having drunk all of it Marcus still wasn?t convinced. Never the less he had paid for the bottle and had drank it over the course of the night, watching the Mistresses dance and torture each other in their small holding cells mounted onto the stage at the back of the bar. He pondered on how much they got paid for doing this momentarily but soon lost interest, nothing was quite like watching them torture proper victims in the torture chamber of your own dungeon. Marcus cleared his nose with a swift snort and spun the now dry tankard down the table away from him.

A fight broke a few tables away between a Troll and a Warlock, Marcus watched with mild interest as one of the tables flew over his head in a blast of flame from the Warlocks hands. Just as it was getting interesting the bar?s security turned up, a bile demon and a giant pulled the two combatants apart carting them off through a door behind the bar. Marcus would have liked to think it was for a proper beating or a nice lengthy imprisonment but he knew that it was really just so that the manager of the place could fine them for the damage done. Things had become very dull and lifeless in the realms of the underworlds, since most of the good heroes had been defeated all those years ago in the great uprising it seemed everyone had gone soft, caring only to scratch out a living and line their coffers rather than plot to spread the ways of evil to the surface world.

Marcus sighed, if only he could have kept his dungeon. He had spent much time improving his dungeon, fitting it out with all the rooms and traps you could want. He even had a small pack of about fifteen imps busily working away and performing his bidding. He despised the way it had been taken from him; he was lucky enough to come across a gem shaft and was promptly bought out by the powers that be. ?Bought out? he though to himself, anything would have been better than that. An invasion, some volley of powerful spells, even a small militia of imps slowly taking over his land and feebly beating down his wooden doors with their picks would have been more acceptable than being ?bought out?. Stretching awkwardly he picked up his helmet and sword from the floor next to him and began the relatively short walk back to his apartment.

Miserably he slumped back to his apartment, along the wooden bridge over the now stagnant water which had once served as a moat for the hero keep that stood here before it was besieged and crushed. Now it simply served as a place where drunks who weren?t able to pay the bill would turn up in the morning face down. Walking along the streets he felt almost repulsed by the scummy way things had gone in the underworld. Ever since the Reaper had disappeared all those years ago everyone had lost interest in the campaign for the surface world. The Reaper was the only one with power enough to defeat the two stone knights which patrolled the Hero Gate, the gateway into the worlds above. Others had tried, but all had failed. Marcus still remembers hearing about the mass attempts which were made to crush the two stone guardians. A mixture of approximately forty Dark Angles, Vampires, Bile Demons and Black Knights, all level 8 or above stormed the place in one go, none of them walked out, a few were lucky enough to be able to run out screaming but the rest were slaughtered like sheep. Ever since that moment the population of the underworld had just given up and the great darkness of the underworld was now a mere shadow of its former self. The only death and real combat that ever took place were the Hero Hunts that spanned out of purpose built outposts along the outer rim of explored land.

Marcus stopped and fumbled around in his pocket for the key to his door, finding it h he unlocked the door to his small grot of an apartment and stepped inside, kicking the door shut behind him. He threw his helmet and sword down onto the floor and slumped onto his bed. Depressed and miserable he allowed whatever it was the bar keeper had sold him to take effect, and fell asleep.

Not really, I was refering more to one liners you have heard in games or on films, not pickup lines.

Ok, simple idea, post your one liners that you have heard that were cool / funny.

I heard one earlier today;

"You have an excess of Mistresses, there is a name for keepers like you."

Spoken by the Narrator in Dungeon Keeper 2. I laughed my ass off, never saw anything like that comming, I was expecting somthing serious like "A prisoner is starving in your prison."

I disagree, unless somthing is proper job proffesionaly done, you can easily tell that its CGI. Not from what it is or how its set, but just from looking at it. Things done in CGI dont look real because usually they are too perfect, no indescrepencies, no non symetrical marks, perfectly even lighting, a lack of all movement etc. Usually from looking at somthing you can see if its CGI or not.

As I said unless its proffessionally done, like in Gladiator. That Guy who plays the slave owner who 'buys' maximus died half way through the film, so the last few parts with him in it were done with CGI. Its so well done you cant notice that its not real.

Well, the technology is nothing new. Its a process called Universal Capture if I recall correctly. The CGI guys working on the Matrix created it.

Exactly what I was about to say, it has been used many times in a lot of films, its nothing new. And to be honest if you cant tell the difference between CGI and Actual footage (which, granted, is getting more and more difficult these days) there is somthing wrong with you.

Dont panic, all is well.

I have just recived and E-mail from Bratty Lord stating this;

Subject : Re: TWHL mix 2.

| | | Inbox


As you know,
Someone like me has MANY MULTIPLe e-mails, and aliases. Sorry man, JUST SAW your e-mail....

My suggestion,
Go Into the I GOT AN IDEA 2 thread, and take charge. I will surly give you full command, as I am not fit to finish the project out myself.

Good luck,
Thanks,
Da Brat.

That pretty much says it all. If you doubt this wait for BL to be online and post, I am sure he will confirm it. He has asked me to complete this project for him and I have accepted. So, to the first order of business;

• Who signed up for this? Where is the list of people who are going to make a map / room.

• Who has the map now? How far down the list are we.

• Who is still in / who has left.

My original Email (which I sent a long time ago) featured ideas on how to help this project, I will post them here and see what you all think of it. Is it a good idea? Should we implament it?

[quote]Dear BL.

I have read through a little bit of the "I have an Idea 2" thread and was
about to sign up, until I flicked to the last page and saw that the project
had grounded to a halt.

If you like, I have an idea that can completly solve this problem, perhaps
not this time but for TWHL mix 3 or whatever.

A space station, with multiple areas (How many depends on how many mappers
sign up), each area is connected to the next via an airlock type of system.
You (or whoever founds the idea) maps the airlock and then copies it,
complete with level_changes. Then, each mapper can make a map of thier own,
set in any setting, as you could enter one part of the station, jump in a
teleporter which can take you to wherever, and then at the end of that area,
get in another teleporter and come back to the station, and the next
airlock.

This way, everyone is mapping at once, and you can set a deadline (for
example 30 days) and ask that if you havnt finished the map in 30 days, just
cut it short. Voilla, a large seirse of HL1 SP maps all done at once all
easily joinable (as they will all have the same airlocks at the beginning
and end).

What do you think? It would make life so much easier and get the project
done almost instantly.

A few pointers:

• People will not lose interest in the project and back out as they will get

straight to work.

• They can make a whole map all to themselfs which leaves a lot of

oppertunity and means people with lesser machines and slower compiles wont
suffer (eg if your at the end of the list.).

• The whole lot will be done in 30 days, though it would probably be best to

advise people to aim to have it done in 20-25 days (no rush at the end then.

So what do you think?

We have a thing just like that in real life near me, its called Quazar. You get a neon plastic armour suit and run around with laser guns shooting each other to score points, its a lot of fun.

Playing that type of map on CSS however is not to my taste, maps like that make the gameplay more 'L0L D34THM4TCH!' than how Counter-Strike is ment to be played. Also that style gives the game a cartoonish feel which ruins it for me. Good job on the map however as far as I can see, even though it is relativly simple.
