Best photo ever.

I don't really ever slouch, I just lean back or, if I'm gaming, sit straight. It actually ends up being even worse when I do the former, since my neck is still being bent forwards.

My back's fine, but my posture is kind of lame at times due to the immense amounts of time I spend in front of a damn computer. I do everything at home on one, I do everything at college on one, hell we usually end up on one when I go round to a friend's house. I really ought to see a specialist and get myself straightened out.

Er, displacement maps can use any texture can't they? You're not getting displacement maps (ie: terrain) mixed up with props (ie: models) are you? I can't see how using a displacement map would cause any problems.

Haha, Super Greg, that's it. Google = http://www.joenapier.com/supergregfan/

Jeez, that junk would send me insane. Also Zyndrome, where is your avatar from? I remember seeing the full thing before, but I've totally forgotten where.

You're one good photographer, Mikey. That sign one is probably my favourite, it just looks so radically awesome.

Pity nobody will ever know about any association to Mapcore.

Yes, and not only that but 3D-Mike got his entry mentioned on there too. Go Mapcore and Mapcore associates!

The no warez rule isn't just for fun, you know. Not only will most hosts quite happily terminate service for sites advocating or allowing warez discussion such as this.. but Mike and Mojo, both well known as Gearbox employees, are responsible for this place. If they're seen to be allowing warez on their forums, then that could land them in all sorts of shit. In short, Mapcore isn't the place for warez. If you simply must do such things, then do what everyone else does and either join a warez-based IRC network or find some decent serial sites through Google.

I'll be picking up the PC version in like, a month, thanks to my total lack of any money ever. The reviews seem to like it though! Nicely done, Gearbox~

LOL! What is that from?

Pring0lz! I actually have an empty tube of Salsa flavoured ones behind my other desk that's been there since Christmas. It's turning into some kind of religious symbol. Also, as a bonus, here's more shit from the first picture that you probably couldn't see!

Look at the satellite I'm using in my UK screengrab. That one has detail like that for most of the UK.

Yes.

Somebody told me that I should download World Wind, a 170mb download from Nasa which is used for looking down on the planet from satellite photos. I of course did so, and it's pretty funky. Warning, lots of massive images below, so read this whilst they load. I'm also bored, so writing this will reduce my boredom. Now, this isn't a movie. This program involves a bunch of satellites taking photographs of the planet at various levels of zoom (which in itself is a mammoth task, when it comes to close-up photography, as I'm sure you can imagine) and then pieces them altogether. Essentially, you are presented with an image of the planet. You can see at the top a number of buttons -- what they do is cycle through the different satellite's photos. Only certain parts of America have the ultra-high resolution images, which let you see people's cars, mapped out. So, for most other parts of the world you can only get to fuzzy building degrees of resolution. You can make stuff out, but since the high-zoom satellite hasn't scanned that area (it's called "USGS Urban"), you don't get the same level of detail you get in other parts of the world. So, you have to be frequently swapping satellites to get better imagery of the part of the world you're interested in. The US is obviously NASA's primary concern, so that's going to be what gets mapped out first before they even consider doing the remaining world. Whilst I can't see much actual use in this program as it stands right now, since they're still executing the huge process of photographing the whole world in super detail, it is really fun to play around with for a short while. I've put some screengrabs below where I basically just left the view still and zoomed in a bunch of times with the scroller wheel (zooming is smooth, but it can take a while for it to catch up whilst it downloads the higher resolution images from NASA, so slower connections beware). Before that though, here's a picture of how far in you can zoom in on the UK. It's not spectacular, but eventually you'll have the same detail that you see in the pics below it available. For now it pretty much just stops there, and going in further gets blurry. Another note about the set below is that if you keep an eye on the top menu, you can see the little black arrow above the icons changing at times. That's where I've had to change satellite to get a better view. Now for the better shit.. Download: http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/download.html

Ol's room is bursting with atmosphere.

Mino needs that condom just incase he ever bumps into his cousin.

So photo whatever your computer's on. D:

This thread isn't for posting those desktops, Blender. ¬¬

Seriously though, I don't even have a wallet. Pockets 4evr~~!

Mazy's room is so hot. D:~ And Blender, what did you edit out?

Why is there a used cum rag next to your anime magazine?

I hope those aren't semen stains on your chair. D:
