No trolleys or baskets in the supermarket. After hours of Grand Theft Auto 5 I had to fight the urge to nut someone and jack their wheels.

It isn't THAT different from GTA4, though. Part of me wishes I'd never played GTA4, because coming straight from San Andreas to GTA5 would have blown my mind. A lot of the stuff GTA4 introduced has been improved for GTA5, but there's not much new sandbox stuff on the streets to play around with.
-
Yeah, more of the same is my main problem I guess. And no, havent tried online yet!
-
You know I've put a lot of hours into GTA and I understand where everybody is coming from. It isn't flawless but honestly, this GTA has some of the best missions I've come across in games ever. There's just so much awesomeness everywhere that the little things stay exactly that....little.
-
Ah, for fucks sake. Apartment I was looking forward to moving into was snapped up by some bummer an hour or so before me. Back to the drawing board...!

I just moved into a new apartment, and holy damn now I remembered why I don't like moving. Stay with your penthouse mang, there's other fish in the sea that you can share it with

-
I've been looking for a place to move since I started my new job, and it hasn't been easy!
I will have to spend a lot more cash than I do nowadays, but I hope that it's worth it because at least I'd have some time to do my projects and pimp up my portfolio...!
-
I thought you were set and you posted pics... maybe i'm starting to confuse users
-
Well, that's that. Just gave my employer my notice following weeks of deliberation, interviews, and stress. Now ready to start a new chapter of my life! Oh, and spend more time on MapCore. xD

relax, Thrik! Just think of all that fun you'll get playing the game, and you'll soon be recovered. Fell better, man!
-
Wow, you must been very sick to not be able to play console
-
Yeah, 'sit in silence with all lights off for an hour then just go to bed' kind of feeling, lol. :s

Grim Fandango on my TV with a PS3 pad and 32x anti-aliasing. So, so good.

Day four of no internet at home. Slowly losing grip on reality. Everything seems so static, so colourless. My connection with the world, I feel it fading.

Nice, where do you live

LMAO

I got the forum offline message of death last night. Glad to see the migration went well!

Thanks for your hard work Ryan

Cheers Thriky.

Shit, car crash outside my apartment. The impact was incredibly loud, and the horn just kept going GTA-style for like five minutes... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/37346336/car-crash.jpg

By then I'll have built a sophisticated AI capable of keeping the site going until the end of time. It'll become impossible to distinguish between who is real and who is not, and every few months the header will be changed to a random image to keep things exciting (with a 2.593% chance of a Hurg header). I already have working prototypes of Rick_D and Nexus and replaced the real versions months ago.
-
Hahaha genius. That actually wouldn't surprise me. Dux would be easy to do, and you'd just have to make Helder/Mino say nice things about Diablo every so often and you'll be set.

lmao

Third day waking up with water in my block not working. Current desire to KILL: 100%

Must smell great in there

-
man, its Fallout !

I liked how you prioritized coffee over showering. #yolo
-
Nooooo! I can handle the sniffles, sore throat, headaches, and blocked sinuses... but not losing my sense of smell!!

Bow your head over a large pot of boiling water, covering your head and the pot with a towel, so that you breathe all that steam. That will help a lot in unclogging your nose, if it's not bad 3-4 times and you're ok.
Otherwise you can try a spirit, one time my uncle gave me a shot of what in Italy we call grappa (this one was the green - so herbs infused)... 30 secs later i was pouring snot like a fountain.
-
take a deep breath in...pinch your nose and hold your breath...put your chin to your chest...still holding it....then, over the course of three seconds, move your head so that you're looking at the ceiling...still holding it...then back down to your chest over the course of three seconds...repeat until you can't stand to hold your breath one second more. this fools your brain into thinking you can't breathe and it will stop sending blood to your nose, reducing swelling. works for...
-
Thanks for the tips guys! I went ahead and tried the boiling water and towel blackdog, worked very well... although I used tea, haha. xD That sounds crazy cincinnati but I'll give that a try when I'm at work tomorrow and can't use towels, lol.
-
This forum update has taken 10 years off my life. Lots more to tweak and fix tomorrow though. Thanks for the patience everyone!

Having said that... It enters a responsive state when using half the width of a 24 inch, 1920x1200p (16:10) monitor, so i guess ill always be browsing this way from now on

Thanks for the hard work. Square avatars plz?

Thanks guys! I really appreciated it! Too bad gifs don't work here because this one is pretty suiting: http://knowyourmeme.com/photos/557206-feels

That's the hope FMPONE! It's great to have you guys helping with the features — invaluable stuff and helps attract/create new talent to our humble community. If even a couple of guys are inspired after checking the place out and get into game art, etc as a result that's a win for the industry and for the community.

SpronyvanJohnson kicking ass always.

Aware the chat room is down, it relies on a server that isn't responding. It's being looked into (slowed down by the holidays) and will hopefully be back soon.

Oh I just saw this status update, sorry I sent you a PM about this :<
You guys are doing a helluva good non-profit jobs, so no complaints here, keep it up! =)
-
Ah, no problem. Thanks.
Just to update you all, I've been bouncing between the server hosts and the forum developers because it seems there's some weird DNS/networking issue preventing the chat from working — or rather, preventing the glorious MapCore server from communicating with the chat shit. If it carries on much longer I might just look into trying to implement Mibbit to connect to IRC instead. -
Aah I see, sounds a bit complicated to me. Mibbit would be cool, especially if we could have additional tabs and join multiple channels!

Ach mein gott, finally sorted out a new apartment to move into next month. That's one big weight off my shoulders!

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! I got a new apartment today too.
-
Great to know!

-
Happy for you dude! This is news you really needed. But the big questions that remains is: When's the housewarming party?
-
Just did a test and realised my 24-inch PC monitor takes up more of my vision when sat at my desk than my 42-inch TV does when on my sofa. It's all relative.

And than a bigger room followed by a bigger monitor again, etcetra. . . ; the process begins anew.

It's the classic mouse and cookie problem. So don't be the mouse, by the mother' in bobcat that catches the mouse, plays with it, drowns it in milk, and eats it. Solution: Buy a projector for your computer and TV!

Bring on the weekend, barely time to wipe my ass this week!

You can add a real name to your profile now if you want. Might use it (plus the job/employer info) for some kind of auto-generated census page at some point...

Saw a shitload of pizzas being delivered to Crytek UK on my way home this evening. I guess it's crunch time. xD

Alr8 laddos, forum will shortly be unavailable for (hopefully) a small amount of time. Need to do some behind-the-scenes magix.
