curman

i dunnnno, i feel like im terrible at this when i read this thread, haha. i done a lot of work lately, though i haven't posted in mapcore in so long.

Anyone know any good reference/texture shots of like typha (cattails ), or reeds you'd find like in marsh? I'm having trouble finding some, and I don't live that close to any good swamp or marshlands.

Wow, impressive stuff, guys.

Skdr, I really hope you don't visit www.appleinsider.com

Worst. Apple. Websites. Ever. Plain and simple. They have absolutely no credibility or sources to their posts, and most of it are spoofs, rumors, or mock-up photoshops some user did as a joke to fool them. They are rarely put a post up that is actually true.

Back in November 2007 they were going, "New Macbook Pros this tuesday!!". Those continued through December, Jan, Feb, and finally then they released it. It was such a laugh how they just guessed the date over and over.

I wouldn't rely on them to tell any unreleased secrets about Apple products.

All set, thanks for Aschmack who had a spare copy!

Thanks!

Killertomato sucks dick!

Curman knows he'd be permanently banished from everything and anything MapCore if he did anything mean to HP's account, so I guess that counts for something.

Aye. That or someone can gift me it, and I'll give you some money on Paypal.

Basically I'm so bitter at STEAM I don't feel like paying for it again.

HP.. DONT do that.

a) DONT trust Curman (its not for nothing people have dedicated their lives to destroy Curman's e-life)..

b) DONT borrow your account to anyone you dont know irl (execpt for me)

c) DONT borrow your account

d) DONT

Yeah you're dumb.

Anyway, HP, thanks for the offer. I barely play STEAM because I'm on a Mac. Running windows off of the Mac is rather slow and laggy. I have no intentions on ruining your account or changing the info, I just would need it for about an hour or so. Then you can change the password and all that.

Apparently getting your STEAM account back, if lost, is near impossible. They want pictures and bill receipts of game purchases to authenticate I'm the original owner.

Anyway, I just want to use Half-Life 2 to test a mod for a friend. Did anyone buy Orange Box? If you did you likely have 2 copies of Half-Life 2, one being a "gift". You can give it to someone else for free.

If anyone has one and wants to get rid of it. I'll take it, and do perverted stuff to thank you. (And/or give you a few bucks on Paypal.)

Also isn't there a free login STEAM made for people to just use the Source SDK? Or was that made-up?

Thanks!

yeah that contrast ratio is really low. even my monitor is a 3000:1.

Samsung = :monocle:

The only downside to our Samsung HDTV is this annoying blue LED at the bottom. You can't turn it off or undue the bulb anyhow. We had to put a piece of tape over it. It was terribly distracting when trying to watch a movie.

Also I've seen a few good Sonys (Though I'm not sure how well those perform personally).

You're pretty smart, stay away from unknown brands like TVMASTERZ and DIGITALCOOLIMAGES. Just get something well known and established, and make sure it has a warranty. Also most places like Best Buy or Circuit City will offer to install it and wall mount, so you can usually save on that if you want to wall mount it. I wouldn't go mounting it though unless you're 110% sure you want it there for a good long while. Otherwise there will be 4-6 screw holes in your wall.

Nice.

Yeah I have a bad feeling that Batman movies are more like James Bond series now. Each director has their own take and idea of who and what James Bond is. Either way it's not going to be as exciting seeing as the Joker has already been played.

Speaking of which - does anyone else get the feeling we have seen all this before?

Batman Begins was amazing though. Once a franchise is destroyed (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin), just make a prequel that makes it awesome again! One of the best scores ever too.

that's kind of a stupid link. some guy made that trailer himself, not warner brothers. hell i could take clips from stewart little and have them match a trailer like the dark knight. what was he trying to say? warner bothers copied his pseudo homemade trailer?

Batman movies always seem to be great.

Personally though.. really the Joker? You're trying to fill the shoes of Jack Nicholson which almost seems laughable. Why I'm sure the movie will be more than just entertaining I doubt Heath Ledger would do as good as a job as Nicholson did.

Speaking of which, why did they fucking re-introduce the Joker? I don't really get it. There are a thousand villains that Heath Ledger could of played yet they gave him a role of a villain who already died! I don't understand is the movie a re-make? It obviously can't be a sequel because the original died.

buddy has never designed anything in his life, this guy is a phony, a big fat phony

happy birthday

was dumb like every other comic book turned movie disaster hollywood tries to make. the whole spiderman series sucked. the punisher sucked. and there's more but you get the idea. with the exception of some batman movies they're mostly shitty and overdone with corny CGI and one-liners. IronMan was no different.

then someone decides it'd be a great idea now to fuck up captain america. so look forward to that pile of shit in the near future.

i wish people would also quit saying 'maek a movie on carnage from spidyman!1' yeah.. no. they'd just fuck that character up also. that and honestly carnage has no storyline for a movie.

oh but uh anyway iron man sucked. like 5 people left half-way during movie on opening night.

p.s. games into movies suck also. doom was super cheesy. fucking hitman the actor never even played the game. and uh y'know super mario bros was just weird.

I'm looking to buy a record player, phonograph, and I'm currently needing suggestions on brands. I'd like to get something more vintage and self-amplified. I'm not really seeking to hook it up to speakers or amplifiers.

I've heard Crosley is fairly trusted, their look is rather vintage, but I didn't know if anything else was suggested. I'm playing mostly 12" and 7".

sorry but i'd take Mad Max 4 over Indiana Jones 4.

Let's say 90% online.

I need a camera for work, and I'm needing something more powerful than a standard "family" digital camera. You know, like the Canon Rebels and more professional EOS(s). I just want to get a recommendation, something for a semi-amateur and mostly for products, buildings, and other hoopla. Price range between $500-1000. Possibly more since it's a work write-off.

Wow thanks a lot that worked. I wonder what the hell caused that..

Hey, I dunno if any moderator wants to move this post, I wasn't sure where exactly I could post this..

Anyway, I open up Source SDK. I choose Hammer Editor, and I can't map for normal Half-Life 2, CSS, anything.

- I have CSS/Half-Life 2 installed, I was told "Play them for awhile." So I did, 1 hour each. Still, nothing showed up.

- I've refreshed SDK Content

- I've Reset Game Configurations

- I've 'deleted local content' and reinstalled.

Anyone have any idea what I can do here? Do I need to reinstall STEAM, or is there a folder I can delete to reset all this?

The excuse: Well see, I love the challenge of making Half-Life 1 look great! It's great to see what that old engine is capable of!

The real truth: My computer can barely run source, and the effort and work placed into a Half-Life 2 mod with the custom horror them I'm going for would actually take hard work. I'm not trying to be mean here, d3, just.. I kind of feel this is the real reason you don't want to go to Source. It'd take much longer in time to do, and rather than going for looks I think you just wanted to finish it.

Looks great; but are there anymore previews? No offense, it's almost hard to believe that's Half-Life 1 but it's only one room.
