  • Why do you do this?

    Quote from Furyo

    It sounds corny as hell, but I like to think one of the main reasons I enjoy it so much is because of the idea that someone somewhere may one day play my stuff and be "entertained" by it.

    Exactly how I feel about it. I like to "entertain" people.

    Also recieving positive feedback about your work is nice ,

    that's the stuff that really what keeps me going.

  • Your first Level Editor

    This is a mainly Leveldesigner oriented forum,

    so it occured to me that it would be sweet to know how your

    history with level editors and mapmaking began.

    So, what was your first Level Editing software

    and for what game?

    Was it easy to use from the beginning or did you struggle hard

    before finally getting the hang of it? Whatkind of levels did you create?

    I know I'm not as oldschool as some of the pro's here, and I personally

    remember my first "level editor" being the Warcraft 2 Editor.

    It was relatively easy to use, although I was ~10 years old and my

    English wasn't that good. I made tons of maps, most of them

    we're really unbalanced maps where I had an army of knights etc. at

    the beginning of the map. Although it was a simple 2d RTS editor,

    it really sparked my passion for level editing/customizing.

  • Awesome movies (no mainstream)

    Quote from Steppenwolf

    I have seen it one and a half years ago already (in korean without subtitles!). With this movie my interest in south korean films started.

    I'm a HUUGE fan of Korean movies.

    If you haven't, you should watch these awesome Korean movies:

    Chingoo aka Friend http://%7boption%7d

    Hae Anseon aka The Coast Guard http://%7boption%7d

    They both have the same lead actor as in Taegukgi - Brotherhood of War,

    called Dong-Kun Jang. You should also see his other movies

    Here's a list http://%7boption%7d

  • Linux

    I have never used Linux and never will. As long as I can

    use the software I want on Windows, I'm not touching Linux.

    I don't hate Linux, neither do I love Windows.

    Using Windows doesn't mean you love microsoft and hate all-things-linux.

  • Linux

    Quote from twiz

    I hope to god he isn't. But why would a grown man claim he was 12? It makes no sense. Then again a 12 year old linux freak programmer makes even less sense.

    If he is a grown man pretending to be 12, he also needs to step the hell away from the keyboard. Maybe even go outside. You know, sunlight. Scary.

  • Awesome movies (no mainstream)

    Touching the Void

    The true story of two climbers and their perilous journey up the west face of Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes in 1985.

    -

    It's one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. I don't like

    rockclimbing or mountains and still I found the film extremely

    enjoyable. A very emotional ending.

    (BTW. Anyone know any good non-mainstream films

    that have a sad/touching ending ?)

  • Now playing

    Quote from Phatsniper

    Soldiers: Heroes of World War 2

    You should definitely give it a try, personally I loved it. The destruction of the environment in the game was unlike I've had never seen. One could virtually

    destroy anything in the game, if you had enough explosives

    The most joy I ever got in the game was the multiplayer co-op.

    What sucked about the game was the UI and sometimes the AI.

  • Now playing

    Oh yeah, I forgot about DS,

    right now I'm playing:

    -Advance Wars: Dual Strike

    -Mario Kart DS

    -Animal Crossing

    Already finished New Super Mario Bros. and man it was easy,

    I enjoy the minigames occasionally.

  • LOST (Imminent Spoilers)

    Quote from Nysuatro

    I onlike think the first season was good. The second was very bad

    Same with me. I loved the 1st season, but I lost interest for

    the show at around the 12th episode of season 2. Still haven't watched

    the whole 2nd season.

  • Dead Rising demo

    I tried the demo at my friend's last night, at first it was pure awesomeness.

    Slicing zombies and stabbing them to death, stuffing hands in their mouths,

    putting legoheads on them etc. but then after ~30mins it got a bit boring

    tbh. Still, it was a laugh playing the demo for a while.

  • Rubbish Peripherals

    Quote from Spinlock

    Bean Bags > All

    I agree, there's nothing like playing a game while

    sitting in a comfy bean bag.

    As what comes to the "sound lounger", it just looks very awkward and

    I wouldn't want a huge subwoofer punching me in the neck everytime

    I crash into a tree.
