yes I think i'll go for the intuos. hessi I'll contact you within the next days - maybe we can make a good deal 
on the cintiqs - i used the 21ux at last Games Convention alot and it really feels great! It's by far the best damn thing I've ever used. The hotkeys and the usage is damn ace and I couldn't see any problems with contrast or colors... but the pricing is pretty much off my pocket...
Another question: If i buy my wacom in europe I'd consider going for a cintiq. The Intuos A4 is pretty nice for 400 bucks but I also love the cintiqs and the small one (12") is at 1200€ (maybe 1000 with student pricing). Has anyone any experience/direct comparsion of these two? I know I can work precise with an Intuos but with the Cintiq it feels further way more direct...
Sooooo... wacom just informed me that European and American Wacom will not take warranty as "Wacom Japan and Wacom Europe are two different companies with different pricing- and warranty-policy."
Anyone here with a wacom had any problems ever? Because I'd be willing to risk not having warranty on the product if I knew that no one has any problems with it 
the problem with extra ordering is that she has limited lugage of 20 kilograms and is coming to germany only once this year I'd love to order a whole pallette of wacoms 
Price examples (Yen2euro http://www.oanda.com/converter/classic ):

so... I'm going to buy me a new Wacom and migrate to PS CS3 finally. While I already have a good offer for CS3 the Wacom is still expenssive as hell. Buuuut... my sister is currently living in Japan and I asked her to see the prizes for Wacoms over there. To my surprise Japan is not cheaper but hell lot cheaper. I'd pay 220€ for an Intuos3 A4! Another 30€ for Toll here in Germany but that's acceptable as this is 250€ in opposite to 480€ (400€ with student-pricing) I'd have to pay here for the very same product!
So my question is: Has anyone experience with importing Wacoms/Electronical Devices and warranties? Because as much as I hope the Wacom will never fail I'd still like to have a year or two of warranty and many companies allow international warranty nowadays (e.g. I have full warranty for my notebook for 1 year around the world) and has anyone experience with different wacom pens? because at this price I'd love to order a paintbrush pen and some additional mines
is there a bevel and emboss filter on the Schockers Text? Because It looks like and it makes it looks *sry* shitty. I'd go for plain text as it looks like a hologram and the fake height makes it looks like floating soap... (otherwise great atmosphere 
)
3 +1 as the linked thread states. (Coder, Scripter and Hourences as LD + 1 add. Volunteer)
looks solid but atm there's too less contrast. I had a hard time spotting the ball at first. It might be worth a try to either set the env darker and the ball brighter or test a waaay brighter env. Oh and for a puzzle game it might be better to have less "hotspots" in your textures - these should be reserved for key-points (or have the light a lot more contrasty)

For the Waterfall you can use the new Particle Editor (Start TF2 with -tools as parameter and press F10 I think)
the new texture is ace. very tf2sh

WTF this is sooooo much fail

Daniel Pohl reprogrammed Q3 years back and we used parts of the code for our informatic-lessons at school 
Sindwiller will remember the discussions we had about it on another mapping site...
Not as impressive as your last shots but quite some nice techniques esp. on those sillouette shots although a better background wouldn't hurt for this kind of shots.
Get this straight: You neither designed the Layout, nor did you texture anything, nor did you use a lightsource or closed all leaks, you built invisible jumppads? Sounds like...
Fail
