RabidMonkey- RabidMonkey actually has a bunch of pet trainee monkeys in his closet that work on his maps while he sits back and smokes cigars (also in consideration are gnomes, elephants, or maybe Ant and Trapt).Hahaha, its true ;(

Honestly I'd slap them, games are...Well it's hard to explain but the most simple thing I can think of is they help you gain skills and keep kids from being bored and hanging around the streets causing trouble...Kids should go read a damn book or something useful instead of this shit then if they're bored...
You do know using these images as textures in your own maps is illegal, right? Even if just for personal use, you don't have license to the images, unless specifically noted by the author.If you're working for a non-profit function (ie modification usage) then its technically a violation of copyright and they could sue you but it's very unlikely. If you're working for a commercial studio or with commercial intent then you should probably be a little more careful.
Falling WaterThe Colorado bit is funny because it's sadly so true. Ten years ago we could drive for twenty minutes and be in the foothills with plenty of open space. Now we drive for two hours into the mountains and still see new development. It sucks.
This isn't just a playable map for HL2, but the architectural study of a famous house in the Pennsylvania woods, nicknamed "Falling Water" by its creator, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Architecture geeks have been hugely excited by the project, which recreates the legendary home using floorplans and photos. As commentator Geoff Manaugh observes: "Architectural schools could instantly boost students' morale if their course orientation packets came with a videogame wherin users go around blowing up anything built by Le Corbusier... Or Space Invaders: The Next Generation, where you defend 100,000 acres of Colorado wilderness from architecturally unimaginitive suburban housing"
Agreed. Let those damn Source mappers wait this one out, anything submitted for HL2 is going to automatically look 10x better than HL1, and will most likely affect the judging in some way or another, no matter how funny the entries are.I think opening it up would be a great idea - By waiting it out we wait about 3 months for a new fucking competition. I'd like to have more stuff to occupy myself with source-wise instead of waiting forever for a new competition. Looks don't matter, the comedy value does.
I'm only mildly annoyed, just don't accept everything from Valve so fucking blindly, like they're the gods of gaming or something.Jeez, you make it sound like a conspiracy theory or something ;P - EP1 was abit of a rip, I agree. If they bundle TF2 with EP2 I'll buy it for a little more, mostly because its multiplayer and that equals a bunch of playtime. I can't think, as Kasperg said, of any other games I would want to really buy anyway.
