uhhh can you explain what you mean by this??

it's like they deliberately made the user interface too user friendly. everything is so rounded in speech and design that you have a hard time working around in it. i had to do guesswork to figure out how to do certain (perhaps more complex) operations on the operating system. it's like it wasn't geared towards someone with expertise at all. and if this is truly their goal, to give people the ability to fine tune a system without knowing anything about what happens when it is done or about the consequences of doing it, then i am against it. i'm not saying i'm against user friendliness, but there is a line where it crosses over to be fail safe idiot mode.

i also forgot to mention the price of their systems are much higher for the same specs of a regular computer, which is ludicrous. if design is so important, why not just buy a sculpture to hide your laptop in? i bet you could get that cheaper than whatever you pay for a macbook anyway.

finally: i call bullshit on same spec computers differing in benchmarks from a mac.

sorry i find it hard to support a company that promotes idiocy through its operating systems.

the activision lineup is laughable...

god dammit you're taking all the fun out of bashing hp

next time i'll have a little text under my statement that i was practically joking

it's like the remote proxy design pattern in real life... and then someone who hacks it to destroy the computer behind it...

well considering i played the ps3 version back in may or april, yeah..

as always HP is getting things when they get old...

seldoon also contributed but i suppose that may be implicit since we always blame the french...

real mature guys... real mature

never had any problems with arches or cylinders thanks to the trusty vertex tool

Quote from KungFuSquirrel

The torus, arch, and cylinder tools snap all verts to the 1 grid, so as long as you use the exact same radius and diameter and the same number of subdivisions, it should fit.

touching a torus' vertices usually results in invalid structures...

those shots look superb, ima have to check this out.

i don't care about placing stuff inside the torus, i am more wondering how you get the torus itself aligned with regular base geometry... say if you have a quarter torus quarter pipe (a torus corner 90 degree corner, if you will), and you want to align it so that you can use a cylinder as the floor, and a cylinder to make it fit with the ceiling - how would you go about that?

it's covered with a glass material and will be visible on both sides.

that workaround doesn't work if you have stuff visible on both sides.

Quote from JeanPaul

Wait what? You never align verticies on a torus/the arches in a torus. Its just not possible

then how do you get them to fit? what do you do if you have to let them fit?

Quote from AnTwanChi

It is the screenshots that make the funny colours. I really recommend that you actually play the level as I've put custom sounds in as well.

fuck, aligning all those vertices must have taken at least a day.

yeah atleast he didnt write his nick with brushes <_<

aw come on that would have been old school..

that lone sausage crap is slightly disturbing...

Quote from Mazy

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve with your comments. You've obviously seen the same movies we've seen, you don't see anything special in them? Fine, I'm sure there's plenty of cases where its the other way around. I don't think there's a major thing you need to understand to enjoy these movies, you could maybe say they're slightly overrated today, but regardless then they've influenced pretty much everything you see in Sci-fi today.

sorry it was a bit off topic, but erratic has been acting up every time i've posted a response to anything which i don't find interesting. i was just pointing that out.

i doubt they've influenced everything sci-fi (especially considering star wars came before them), but i see where you're coming from. i think that while the inspiration may be excellent, the movies themselves just aren't that good. i'm trying to figure out why people hold them in so high regard, pretty much.
