    Maybe you said it sometime at the beginning but it's been so long... are these all custom textures you (or someone) made, are they from Black Mesa? I ask cos it kinda looks a bit crispier than that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":)" width="15">

    7 hours ago, (HP) said: I wont pick this up anytime soon since I'll be getting a Oculus instead, but I see the PS VR becoming very popular and might just single handedly make VR popular due to the better price tag.

    Yes, that's what I've been thinking since we got the Oculus price, but mainly the requirements to run VR games. Also, cables. Sensor towers.

    And tbh, what have Oculus and Valve really shown? The only graphic intensive game shown off has been Eve (which hardly is a VR only experience), on the other hand you see the hi-def stuff that Critek is making that blows shit out of the deepest water.

    Yeah put those Portal minions and a ticking bomb next to dinosaurs, average consumer is not gonna invest 2K to get started, when with (less than) a quarter can have AAA games and no performance doubts.

    I'm thinking that Sony and even more Samsung are the only that could actually profit in this first cycle.

    In theory CSS alone can change layout, but depends a bit how html is laid. Also you can do stuff like rounded corners and drop shadows.

    Anyway not really suggesting that, is more I'm not a fan of box-in-a-box. I'd desaturate the background a bit, I find it a bit too overpowering. Was thought that pages could/should be designed in grayscale to get the contrast right first. Dunno if you know of colorschemer, a tool that helps you finding the correct palette (colour theory ftw); and there are others from Adobe and more. There are palette-ready collections at colourlovers and can't remember the equivalent Adobe version. Could be useful to take a look. If you definitely want a certain colour I think you can search for themes containing it.

    It looks very… academic, also 90s ?

    Are you limited by what the system gives you? (I guess you are customising a wiki theme that came with it)

    Guess is alright, but like I said looks dated. It's very possible to make a modern styled site and keep it very legible. Limitations are only CSS knowledge and system output.

    Never watched so much TV as in the last four days, I have the flu so stuck inside pretty much.

    Watched an entire season of Game Of Thrones with my girlfriend, and on my own I caught up with Better Call Saul. Watched the first of Jessica Jones, good and turns trippy straight away.

    This came out last weekend as Netflix original, too much laughing ruined my already sore throat lol

    You can get it on the Windows Store as well.

    Ive heard so much bad of how it works though /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":(" width="15"> the Gears of War collection is working very poorly. Seems like their strategy to sell Ones is disincentive the buy on Windows…

    Ye after watching the play through of Bravado for Black Mesa on Custom Gamer, it stirred in me the temptation of dig from the grave the SP project I started for HL (as my first foray into level design lol)
