Hey Zaphod, we thought you were dead

Yeah trackmania looks pretty cool, it reminds me of good ol' stunts, which is an awesome thing. Will check this out for sure.

You rock koko!

It seems that GTA is the most hated game in history

-
That's the biggest problem sk. As I said, I'm thinking about accepting even shitty jobs, as long as I can get the fuck out of here.
I just won't do inconsequent things, will see how this year will turn out and will make my decision.

ah awesome stuff ferret! I agree with insta about the camo-net though, it looks really out of place.

Shit, ferret that really sucks man. Yeah I know violence is not a Brazil only problem, it's in everywhere. The point is that I can't see any chance for it to get better in the near future. Imo it will only get worse and worse untill it turns into a civil war. And I really hope my family and I will be very very far from this country when it happens

btw, thanks for the kind words guys

/me pets everyone

Nice but fix the aligment on those wooden supports...

As many of you are aware Brazil is a pretty dangerous place (specialy Rio de Janeiro) but it never really bothered me that much because I was never directly affected by this sick violence (appart from being stolen once).
But today something happened to a close person and I'm starting to change my mind. My dad's sister in law has 2 kids, a boy (3) and a girl (1). Today she took her son to the school and soon after leaving him, two armed men approached her car and pointed a gun to her head and to her girl (who happened to be in the car, since there was nobody home to take care of her). She was being kidnapped....
Shit, I never thought this kinda shit would happen to someone I know, I see this kind of shit on tv and I'm like "ok that's it, unlucky people". So yeah, they were asking 2 thousand bucks to release them both. She didn't have all that money of course (she's a teacher and teachers get crappy salaries in Brazil). So they accepted a 600 bucks offer, took her to a bank agency and withdrew the money, releasing her soon after that.
So here's the deal: She was already a bit paranoid (specialy with her kids) and now she probably won't even leave her house anymore, I think she will get really really paranoid. My brother is a bit paranoid too and I think it will only get worse now. Shit, I'm ok with it but everyone is chocked... It's a really hard situation.
Appart from this shit today some fuckers also broke into my dad's house last year and took away almost all his stuff: TV, computer, many clothes, microwave etc etc. And the worst: It was during daylight, at about midday.
I gotta say that I have considered leaving this country a few times in the past but now I'm seriously thinking about it... even if I only get crappy jobs like babysitter or something instead of a gig at some game dev. I don't want to either get killed nor get a family member killed....
You may be thinking "it's none of my business" but I needed to post this. Sorry if this is not clear enough and got strong language but I'm just really pissed off atm.

That kind of art is called op art (optical art). It isn't anything new but those are really cool.
Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Op-art

Nice progress ferret! But if you are aiming at making it look real you should smooth out those edges, specially on the roofs. Besides that, the street texture looks a bit too blurry, it'd be neat if you make a high-res street texture with cracks and wet spots
(also, some specular on the windows and on the pipes wouldn't hurt at all)Keep it up m8!

Nice job schmung, it looks really clean and tight (my attempt at car modelling end up with a horrible and messy model
)Love the whale too koko, good to see you still working on your CS map

Looks interesting, I'll surely give it a try when it's out.
