  • Your impression on CS:SOURCE

    i actually enjoy it quite a big, mostly from the prospect of helping create new stuff the second that sdk hits.

    i'm also very satisfied with most of the remakes. I even think cobble looks better if you give it a few rounds (it's lighting is fantatsic)

    The only one I really dont like at all is piranesisii (or however you spell it) It was a bad map back then, and its a bad map now.

    I need assault! I'll do the textures and shaders, who wants to map?

    you guys are treating this like footbal lol.

    The only way you "win" a presedential debate is to change a voters mind into voting for your. As far as I can tell the debate clouded the undecideds minds more than it cleared them. I certainly didn't jump off the couch and declare either one worthy of my vote. To me it was pretty even across the board with more than a bit of name calling on both sides. Which to those of you who know who your voting for, make it easy for you to get behind them and declare them the victor. To me it just weakens them both as people.

    What's interesting to me about Kerry, and this is a completely random side note. Is he faught in 'nam as infantry, the grit and the dirt. That was war one for him. War two for him will be going from the very bottom to the very top is he's elected. Wonder how that affects your judgement. I imagine he definitly has a better respect for the common soldier and the stakes of his life. More than I could hope to without sending a loved one into battle...

    things that bothered me in no particular order:

    1) Kerry continually insisting the war costs are too high over and over, and giving a 2 minute sob story about how Bush didn't spend ENOUGH on state of the art armor in vests and hum vees.

    2) When Bush made a very blatant point about an "all volunteer army" Kerry did NOT respond to that. He actually didn't respond to it at all.

    Voter's Brain ---

    Bush : I won't be drafted Kerry : I dunno maybe I will...

    3) Bush kept calling Kerry a "flip flopper" It's a fairly petty thing to do, he should have stuck to the facts about when and where Kerry did questionable things, instead of just calling him names.

    4) NAME DROPPING. HOLY CRAP. Both of them all night were like "well so and so likes me" , "yeah but so and so really support me"

    5) Bush taking the Colin Powell shinnanigans from Kerry all night and not doing anything about it. Powell is in his friggin cabinet and Kerry is using him against Bush! That was severly damaging to Bush.

    6) At the end of the night they agreed. Kerry pointed out that the way Bush went about invading Iraq, was terrible. He ignored the UN and our allies and just went in without properly thinking. Bush countered with talking about Kerry's spotty voting and quote record, about how he changes his mind alot. Which was slightly irrelevant to me. At the end of the night it was clear that they had very similar plans for how to handle Iraq from here on in. More troops, more support, we'll win this war and go home.

    7) Neither gave the Chechnya/Russia conflict any ear. We're talking about how to stop the war on terrorism and here we are in Russia watching our children be killed by terrorists and multiple planes being brought down. The death toll in the THOUSANDS. And neither one would touch it. Gee, would suck to ACTUALLY do the right thing here instead of just try to look like it. Bush already stated that the UN works to slowly to help people, well if your position is FUCK THEM we can help who we want. THEN DO IT.

    Kerry would not come out and actually say the Iraq war should not have happened, that it was a MISTAKE. He would only go as far as to say that the way in which Bush did it was a mistake, and the speed. He continually acknowledged that Sadam Hussein was a threat. There seem to be a lot of people who support Kerry for peace in the world, and I firmly believe that's not the case. Best case, he's the lesser of two evils (which is a quote not my opinion per say.)
