lol sweet. There is one really weird thing about that otherwise amazing skyscraper collapse though: the water doesn't seem to be affected at all. With all the hype about the physics-based water, where's the ripple/waves? Does it happen when you're closer?

Too vague. You need to create one thing at a time, and if you can't figure it out ask for help.
Tip: You shouldn't be using props for the structure of the map, and that includes stairs. You need to use the regular shape/brush tools. You can create most things by starting with a cube and using the vertex editor to shape it as desired, adding extra sides and vertex points using the clip tool when necessary.
This is all super-basic stuff so you should go to the Source SDK Wiki or something and read some total beginner tutorials, most people haven't really got time to hold your hand through the basics. This one looks good:

lmao. Hope you didn't get too flirty.

It's a place where people write creepy-ass stories, or rather 'files'. Some games have been based on the stories there. This one (based on this which you should read first) is so simple but still shit me up with headphones on in a dark room:

Scary isn't it?
Some of the old threads are so great. If you hop back 10 years you can see us all basically talking about Half-Life 2 in the same way as Half-Life 3 haha. Hindsight is a wonderful thing when you see threads like 'OK surely Valve won't delay HL2 past April 2004, that'd ruin their reputation forever'.

That looks awesome Mazy. I love that Nintendo is just taking everything it's done with Mario and splurging it out into this insane 3D/2D hybrid. In some ways it could end up being even better than Mario Galaxy — which also mixed 3D and 2D sections but had more of the former, whereas this looks like the opposite. My only bother is some 3D bits like 0:40 look kind of crappy, almost like an afterthought. I hope that gets improved.
As for Nintendo's visuals as a whole, I totally agree that Nintendo has always seemed to be at the top of its game when it comes to rendering stylised graphics. I think it's definitely a combination of technological skill, great art direction, and simply a whole lot of polish. They put so much effort into every last effect and detail that the end result is usually mesmerising. I mean, just look at a game like Wind Waker — the level of the art that went into that game in 2002 is bewildering, to the point where they didn't even have to do much to make it still look great in 2013.
Even Nintendo's later 2D efforts like Yoshi's Island are timelessly beautiful. They have some crazily skilled people over there.

It seems a bit silly that betas nowadays have so little content. How can you really beta test a game when most of the levels, weapons, and features are missing? What if commander mode has some major bugs nobody at EA or DICE is spotting? At the very best you're going to just end up with one really well-tested level, lol. At this point we really need to drop the 'beta' charade which is probably 50 builds behind the retail version anyway, and just call it a damn demo. All they really want from players is feedback to inform future patches anyway IMO.

Jeez... I know all about the console's failings but every time I see something like this it just transports me back in time and makes me want it NOW:

I can't wait to have kids and play Mario Kart with them, lmao.

Wait, it's even easier to die now? Battlefield has always been a game where it only takes a few accurate shots to kill you (four with an assault rifle) so hearing that it's even faster to die now is crazy. Are you sure you weren't playing on whatever the BF4 equivalent of a 'hardcore' server is?
IMO Battlefield has always gotten damage just right, much like Day of Defeat always did. I hope they aren't fucking with that winning formula, this kind of thing is more important than one might initially think.

Oh man, I'm getting There's even a Romero appearance on page three.

That's it, Ubisoft is fucked.

I can just imagine Gabe Newell at Valve HQ thinking it might be worth testing the waters to see if there's still high demand for a new Half-Life. He arranges for a subtle clue that only the most obsessive of people would notice, probably weeks later. Except literally the next day Gabe wakes up and finds the entire internet on fire. "Holy shit" was likely the response before he realised that if the game is anything less than absolute perfection the Valve facility will be besieged and everyone inside hung, drawn, and quartered.

Sorry to hear that Sentura, I managed to find a cleaner version for you to look at:

I kind of sit in the middle really.
On the one hand, some of these dudes have literally been getting numerous brand new triple-A titles for free because of this, and that's pretty shit. And it's not just a region locking thing, brand new games have somehow been ending up on these obscure countries' Xbox LIVEs. It smells a lot like some Microsoft employee or hacker putting them there intentionally for people to warez.
On the other hand, some people like blackdog weren't really out to cause harm and just thought they were taking advantage of a sweet deal. OK, there is some definite intent in going out of your way to create a new account for a different country to get hold of some free shit, but it doesn't feel like a particularly bad thing to do IMO. If someone said to me I could get a free copy of Uncharted 3 by just making a US PSN account then I'd probably have considered it!
The timing is definitely bad. It's piracy, few of those doing it didn't know they were doing something wrong. But so close to a new console launch when the company is already being assholed at every turn? The fact that they can just shut down your console and your account is pretty alarming in itself. Has Sony ever been known to do such a thing?
