Worst.Decision.Ever.

I can see their reasoning in switching to Source, its still the worst decision ever though.

A right mix, before Disturbed - Down With The Sickness, it was Adagio for Strings, to be followed with SOAD - Chop Suey.

I love a good mix.

I'd be scared of that CRT crushing me to death...

It's the hull of a shipwreck on the beach. Have some more to print out on Thursday and scan in later.

Not work, but my Uni main building. Our course lives on the first floor.

No scope? Wasn't the ejection port on the otherside? I don't like the idea of hot 20mm casings going into my face.

I luckily got my elective of choice at Uni, Photographic Techniques. Basically a semester of doing 35mm B/W SLR work. I've done some 35mm before but was a long time ago so was great to get back into it. The facilities and equipment arnt the best, but its still fun.

It looks really scratched but theres a lot of dust in the darkroom when I went in so a fair bit of its that, I looked at the negatives and theres a few tiny scractches, a few probably came from scanning it in.

Was a damn cold day at the beach in the rain taking the photos.

The lighting in the level doesnt match the skybox, or at least the rock colours. Looks odd having saturated yellow rocks with orange in the sky.

True skdr, but some cases mount mobo's in weird places and have HDD racks all over the shop.

I have a big case and I don't think that would fit in mine, I think its gonna hit the SATA cables.

Wheres the windows to cast those shadows?

Testing Ham and Jam

Oh, Plasma Pong, CoD2 on Veteran (or whatever the hardest one is) and finishing off everything in GTA:SA

How dare you drink Newcastle Brown from a can you heathen!

Also the other thing that bugged me, don't know if they talked about it in the video (crap internet connection + big file = no) but the immense delay between the aircraft going off their paths/dissapearing and before sending jets up to go see what was going on.

If I remember correctly, the average time it took before 9/11 was like 12 minutes from going off radar to having f15's in the air. That day it was like an hour...

sky: sky_day02_10

primary fog colour: 176 192 202

secondary fog colour: 176 192 202

fog start: 1000

fog end: 3400

That sky works well as it is pretty foggy as is. I'm gonna be pushing the fog back a bit further to see what it looks like.

The reflections look mighty odd there, not many things are that shiny. Perhaps a reflection map would help.

Edit: The scene doesnt feel right either, it seems to be a upmarket bar, so why are there shovels in the corner?

But didn't their flight school instructors say they were all pretty crappy at flying Cessnas? Thats what I read in numerous papers as well as being plastered all over the internet.

they didnt fly the plane at low level, they crashed it. o m g

Sorry, my mistake, they were obviously flying it at high level into the first floor.

Edit: As for planes flying themselves, sure they can do it. But they are programmed before takeoff (I dunno, do the pilots do it, or some technicians?) either way I doubt they programmed that plane to fly into the Pentagon. So that means the "bad guys" did it, these people that could barely fly Cessna's manage to program a 757 to fly...

Sure its possible...but the amount of "what if" that happened that day is hard to believe.

First two games didn't impress me, when I aim my sites dead on some unsuspecting German he should get shot, not miss. The encounters were horribly predicatble in the first one.

I don't know about you, but flying planes at low level in Flight Simulator is pretty damn hard let alone in real life.
