    Oh I have that course as well! I bought it in December I think, when was on a good discount.

    Unfortunately I haven't watched more than the first 4-5 lessons (and didn't practice any of it), but seems a thorough explanation. Goes deep into the basics of the UI and basic command/functions.

    Watching video content on Steam is a drag though, until now is implemented very poorly, there's no playlist of sorts, there's no "watched" label that tells you where you left, every video you click opens a new window/player.

    I hope they have improved since then, since it was just a few days ago they announced they are starting to provide movies in the catalog.

    1 hour ago, BJA said: What you mean is "ultra nightmare" mode where you have no checkpoints and it takes only one or two hits to die. And once you die you have to start all over again. I tried that mode for a day and could barely finish the first level, it's a lot of fun though. I read somewhere that someone finished the game in ultra nightmare after only two days already, which is insane.

    Alright, sorry for the confusion; that's indeed insane!! Those "complete in one sitting" achievements for me are non-achievable (think there was as well for Dead Space, and there maybe you could do it at any difficulty). Do you know if that someone played PC or console? I imagine you check for active cheats, but do you?

    I was grinning most of the time.

    In the Italian forum they were saying that id devs stated they couldn't finish the game themselves

    At this point it's impossible not to see the title fitting as a porn movie title :D

    Wow, I'm a kid again! T_T

    I wish they just remastered and made available the likes of Saint Seya, the Five Samurais (or whatever is called internationally)... I was enjoying the Gargoyles some time ago, but they've taken it down from YT :(

    I think it's just the beginning and needs to ramp up. Not that I remember the other season starting with a bang. But maybe I binged so much that everything got mushed together.

    Couldn't download torrents for ep3 as its blocked where I leave, found out that Sky's Now TV has a 14 day free trial so subscribed just to be able to view a couple episodes then will see

    Dunno if you're referring to press releases, but apparently that's what's gonna happen/has been hinted to press that viewed proper gameplay:

    Damn you Amazon!

    Found only recently that Mad Men is available with Prime Video, put it in the watch list and was contemplating the idea of when giving it a shot (never got curious in the past), then yesterday got an email that is leaving Prime on June 1st ?

    Watched the first episode during my lunch break: I would enjoy more of that, so grrr

    Personally I think the name is awful though and will be confusing as fuck in 10/20 years time when people look back lol.

    In 10-20 years they will have rebooted the series –in terms of historical context– couple times ;p

    I would have liked another title but honestly this is better (simpler) than Battlefield: The Great War or Battlefield 1914.

    Once I read that the general plan against over population is to raise the quality of life in eastern countries at the point that they will put money ahead of family.

    We've already seen Chinese selling a kidney to buy an iPad (true story), maybe that's the big achievement VR will bring: zero the Chinese baby making through porn.

    Wow, you work fast!

    Im loving it :) now I'd say if you manage finding a more modern bed and furniture will fit better. Maybe even a feature wall/big canvas/painting to add color and break up the wall?

    Yeah the room feels cramped, ceiling is low…

    To get more light what about a skylight or at least a big ceiling light and use the lamps for accent?

    Yes but the picture you posted didn't have steps carved in the pool itself so it was confusing what you meant.

    Agree about the bedroom, I'd also say the window is too small for a bedroom (although there are some places like that for sure)

    Yeah, I just haven't seen any behind the scenes that hinted what their pipeline is; I know many developers use Sketchup... I remember that in some Naughty Dog it was largely used by the art director to create the basic blockout for a concept painting (and the final rendition was quite faithful from what they were showing, can't remember if the block out was used also as a base for designers/artists).

    Being so quick and powerful, I wonder how is not more prominently advertised or more largely used.

    After discovering that Unity doesn't really have bsp tools like UE4 has, I was looking into starting something in Sketchup (which I did start learning a few years back), but you have to pay (a steep price) to export to the common file exchange formats :( also I was thinking that if I had to just block out something to use in Blender as a base... I might as well just learn Blender.

    What he said ^

    It's basically worthless to judge timings if you don't have the 2 bomb sites and connecting routes, it's impossible to understand what gameplay you are imagining… from what you write YOU don't know that in the first place.

    not necessarily you need equidistant sites, maybe you want one site with a shorter timing to enable teams to play mind games. So on.
