Quote from RaVaGeWatched the new robocop, that was fucking boring. BUT I laughed my ass off at the end.

Yeah! I was totally and I mean totally, fucking shocked at the ending, it was a meh movie but holy shit, the ending was just great. The director's Starship Troopers was coming out I think.
I thought you need to get invited or some bs to go to E3. Is it open to public still?
Quote from MinosI actually went through similar problems back in the days like most people here. Game dev is a very new profession and older people have no clue what the hell it is about. My mom was always bitching about how the other kids had good jobs already and all I did was staying at home wasting my time on stupid maps for stupid games. We had some pretty big arguments back then but instead of feeling down I always used that anger to map even harder so one day I could break into the industry and "prove her wrong". Today I know that all she wanted was for me to get out, get a job and live a happy life, but from her perspective making maps was a complete waste of time. I can't blame her though, she was raised in a small town where everyone was told to do whatever would bring money as a profession. "Don't be a fool following stupid dreams because you will end up under a bridge or something" was the mentality back there.
The irony is that she has always been pretty unhappy with her career choice and had I followed her advice I would probably be in the same situation now, pushing my "kids" to study harder to get a good job that pays well and the cycle would go on forever lol
I'm glad she did that though, one day I challenged myself to prove her wrong and used that as a motivation to work even harder
Yeah its how my step dad is, he dropped out of HS, and has worked hard his entire LIFE and still is unhappy and then critics me for my life choices. So dealing with all that, then trying to find the motivation to go do some level design or learn a new tool like Maya or something is just so challenging. Im grateful though for where I am now and im excited to move out.
Some genuine real talk has occurred in this thread. I just finished reading it all, I saw the thread when it was first made, but I had no idea it would turn into this. I feel for all you guys going through your issues and getting through them, especially you dux. I may be a new mapcore member of only a year but you guys are all incredibly kind towards each other its really swell. I personally am dealing with my own issues, I have grown as a level designer the past year working on BlackGold and Import, which is great, and I hope to be moving in November, but I still have confidence problems. I have an alright social life, but my living situation is my downfall. I never realized it really, im only 19, I turn 20 in two months, so maybe that could be why I never realized it or just because I grew up with it, but some of my friends have pointed it out. My entire life ive been in this situation thats out Dr Phil. My upbringing has been and still to this day is based around putting me down. My step father, who raised me, is essentially an adult bully. Lets say I would want to map today, get a little creative, then bam, some shit happens or whatever and im just dead with no will to do anything for the rest of the day, which in turn becomes a waste of a day. Sure I can move out and do whatever, but as it stands I have no where to go. So living my whole life like this ive grown accustomed to it, until just about a year ago, a good friend of mine, became really concerned for me, pointing out that the situation I live in is in fact unhealthy and is beginning to fuck me in my mental state. I look back and can realize, wow, I really have been affected by my upbringing, which really sucks. So yeah, im just dealing with that shit, and trying to move past it, and having the opportunity to move to CA this year will definitely be a move in the right direction, its just being able to last until then which is the hard part. (not that im going to kill my self, dont worry) So wrapping it up, you're all great people, everyone here has issues to deal with and I hope everyone including my self gets past them and lives a fulfilling life. 
My try at a proper cs:go montage
Yeah im shocked how much I enjoy this game. I died before I chose my name, 10/10.
Yes, thank you guys for the help you've all given, special shout out to FMPONE for his easter egg and Gami for his in-depth game play feedback.
Cool stuff, Ive never seen you make any SP maps before. Is all the content stock?
I bought Orgins and have yet to play more than 30 minutes. I need to take a day off of CS:GO one of these days and just play it.
Quote from blackdogLooks much sharper than I remember it, can I ask what are the main tweaks you applied? I would say definitely lighting adjustments and compiling with higher lightmap resolution but if you can add some details i'm all ears
We refined the layout drastically to flow better and overall fit a standard CS:GO layout more. Horse art wise, de-saturated a lot of the textures around the map, color coded the catwalks, re-made the drill towers, and did just general final art passes around the map.
Just like to tell you guys We've just published a new update to BlackGold. It brings it in line with other csgo maps visually, and we've made a lot of fine tuned changes to the layout based on competitive play feedback. http://%7boption%7d [Blocked Image: http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/577888865074578059/B3151BC3402F0768D3DAB26204210925D9C7443F/] [Blocked Image: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/577888865074587655/2E20C714CA7658448D74509203FC5C8F369D444F/] [Blocked Image: http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/577888865074600007/22D37169CEFD5564C51757F75691F5F2D5ED8618/] [Blocked Image: http://cloud-3.steampowered.com/ugc/579014120385934106/96D13F07A29C9E1A271023ECD663F1A5423AC2F6/] [Blocked Image: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/579014120385951931/700A377FF3013AD72547F340E83E344EF90D9712/]
Thanks for all the feedback from today for Import! You guys are the best.
Great idea FMPONE! Horse and I have talked about releasing the art from BlackGold, and any future maps to public use after releases, I look forward to this.
Id like to have import tested Thursday or Sunday, thanks!
Quote from SquadNo, why?
Oh wait, thats a clip of MY picture haha.
Quote from Squad
I was double AK, then lost 3 matches, got demoted, then won 3 and got re-promoted, then lost 3 matches and got demoted again. The Struggle.
So I ran into FMPONE today in MM, almost won vs him. 16-14

Sorry about the cancellation of Import, I am basic, I know how excited you all were to play the glorious map of long sight lines and death.
Can someone give me a link to DL Crown? Id like to try it out.
