2) The seemingly simple strider blow to the barn, that makes it literally explode in 100 pieces. If you really want to accomplish that today, your frame rate will also explode at the moment of impact.

i'm working on a map with something like this in it, and it lags up with less than 50 physics models flying around the screen. that shot blew me away.

Plus, the official trailer showed something that looked very very much like models morphing (bridge destruction, Alyx falling). That'd be another new thing.

i imagine that's just skeletal animation applied to some normally static models. cool effect, though.

Quote from Mojo

I wasn't really a fan of it, but since I got an ipod and am an mp3 whore/elitist I like how it can keep track of what I listened to, how much, how recently, and album art (which grew on me).

but you can do that with lots of services.are you using itunes for this simply because it came with the ipod and you had nothing berrer beforehand? no offense or anything, im just trying to understand.

itunes won't destroy anything, because it /created/ all there is in that market.

also, i don't really 'get' itunes. it's not all that useful to me; i'm not sure why.

Quote from Thrik

This could have some serious implications on the film industry, similarly to how their music stuff changed the music industry.

i, for one, would /much/ rather go to a theater to watch a movie than see it on some shitty-small screen.

i really dig the sky on the third one.

two gigs of ram helps a lot.

vista doesn't matter that much to me, but i'm waiting to see weather or not i'll be able to use DX10 on a non-vista system.

ah-ha.

thanks.

working on the structure now (without frames ), and i'm close.

frankly, i'm amazed you caught it on film.

people generally don't survive something like that.

Hurmmm.

Anyone know a good way of doing lists in xhtml?

seems to be buggy.

Also (as luck would have it), my phone won't turn on now, so I'm sending it in for repairrs. I'm working on a page, but it will be a while until I can test the css.

wow, big train station.

heh.

i'm hacking up a few addons right now.

trying to learn xml and lua at the same time is a blast, imo.

well, sgml-based shit aint that hard, but lua got me.

i've been meaning to get into it; have any good nub tutorials or hints, anything like that?

good times,
