    ... Except Sharpen is occasionally useful.

    (and since this is getting so incredibly off-topic, I'll go ahead and post a screenshot)

    "Welcome aboard the Internal Repression Service. Technically you're not much more than a filing clerk, but your official title is "object relocation specialist' - now you'll need to start right away; whenever therapy or stress threatens to bring back a painful traumatic memory, it's your job to repress it. Hide it somewhere else and don't let the hormones get it. Right now James is in 'couples counseling' with his husband, so needless to say we're on high alert. Just make sure you don't break one open accidentally - or else you'll never work in this brain again. "

    Interesting idea and the fact you chose a gay protagonist. Can't say I can think of a single game off the top of my head with a gay character. Males in anime and games in that style are often androgynous or feminine in appearance but I don't think they're gay. I find it funny how feminine some of the characters in fighting games like the KOF series look.

    James could be a girl? and "his" a typo.

    Maybe not.

    Gay marriage is kind of a hot issue here in California / the states right now... timeliness, people!

    Internal Repression Service (IRS), Right Frontal Cortex, James’ Brain. POSITION: Object Relocation Specialist, ASSIGNMENT: Anomalous Memory Logistics, CLEARANCE: Level 3, ADMINISTRATIVE SPONSOR: Classified, DISASTER RESPONSE PRIORITY: Discretionary.

    (Are all the translations on the signs correct? I only speak French / bits of Chinese)

    (The seal is actually based on the real IRS seal... their motto being "Service + Enforcement = Compliance," really too good to be true in my case.)

    wicked story looks decent, not sure if the anorganic design fits though. could imagine some kind of organic stuff could work in there too.

    Острожно (cautious) is the adjective to Острожность, 'caution', so... While you're at it, you could add внимание (vnimánie, Bulgarian) and προσοχή (prosohí, Greek)

    Doing technical R&D for another level idea I have. The main gameplay loop would consist of two parts: Design and Playtesting. In design, you're moving around props and modifying the floorplan somehow. Then you have a "player" playtest it - in reality an NPC following a certain scripted logic - and the goal is to get them to finish your level and think it was "fun." It'd be one of those Chu Chu Rocket / "guide and program the robot to the goal" / Lemmings kind of games. META SINGLEPLAYER MOD GO

    Unfortunately the whole effect will be ruined if they play the game windowed. Oh well.

    I still need to hammer (get it? HAMMER?!) out the details but I think the premise is sound. Inspired by the fantastic 2:56 minute indie game "Rara Racer" which you should play right now if you haven't already.

    EDIT: the perfect title for this mod has suddenly come to me in a brilliant flash of light - "Being Adam Foster."

    Dunno, all tools in one place, kinda makes sense. You have the exact same amount of screen real estate.

    Also, I didn't follow a word he said.

    [edit] but i went and tried rara racer - what a great little concept. cheers for the heads up!

    what's wrong with your IE Windows? Not cool

    On Topic: Gameplay sounds interesting, but i'm curious how to achieve something like that in hammer without exceeding all technical limitations?

    So basically none of you bothered to check out Rara Racer, so don't make any snap judgements.

    Oh wait that's what mapcore does

    shift+z to make the most recently used window fullscreen in hammer instead of just manually dragging it over like that, shift+a to autosize back to 4 windows again
