I suppose perfection is an admirable pursuit.

Zaphod, that's overkill!

Tasty.

I really want to get this too, but I doubt they'll bring it out over here. You folks need Gitaroo Man as well - what a game.

I never noticed the subtle details on the Troika logo: "Design"; "Art"; "Code". Admirable, and a lovely gothic design too.

Guess I'm far from ideal.

Now that I think about it, he should look pretty beat up to. Remember stuff like glass in the feet etc., so add some blood and gashs, bruises and scars all over the place.

Hehe, very tasty, although you need to dirty the trademark vest up more; our Bruce has been through the wars!

I like the style; kind of simplified yet with loads of lovely details to round it off.

Here's a little request from me. Now I've got the perfect desktop, but I need 2 custom icons for the "Games" and "Programs" folders which reside on said desktop. Now, I'm rubbish at pixel art, so would some lovely soul make me 2 icons based around the mapcore multi-coloured cube, perhaps with the gear too if it looks better. In return, you'll get a royal salute and undying gratitude from my humble self.

I just replaced my San Andreas one with this; I have to represent my creative crew!

CS:S is fantastic, but we're going to have to give it time for the maps to be polished (especially Italy; oh how they've raped it, as Mazy said), the remaining CT/T models to be added and bugs to be ironed out.

Slap some textures on that and it'd make a lovely physics prop to blow up in HL2. Good work.

I don't know about you, but I expected New York to look more New Yorkish. The only real thing that tells me these are photographs taken in America is the Gatorade.

Oh dear.

Sexual healing, Phil.

You just don't get it, do you? HL2 doesn't need texture lighting because a) the lightmaps are of a much higher quality and b) the mapper is given a lot more control over said lights.

Glad to hear it; setting up texture lights is a laborous process I could do without.

Now that's an award.

apathy is no achievement. Details and other coming very soon! screenshots too. Well, of course it's no achievement: that's precisely the point of apathy.

I can say "apathy"; summing up my feelings for this map.

Yeah, almost forgot about Mafia. That game had the most fantastic action/thriller music piece. If only I could find somewhere to get it... Mafia! ftp://ftp.take2.de/extras/MainTheme.mp3 Good man! EDIT: This is great, but the best Mafia tune is the dramatic score that comes on whenever some action takes place. Get me that, and I'll kiss ya fucking dalmations, as John McClane would say.

It's cool that more mags are starting to do this. Can only be good for the mod scene.

Will we be able to use Hammer and other in-house editors that handle the conversations etc. to create our own Bloodlines stuff?

So, Bloodlines is polished off but waiting for those Valve bastards to get their act together, and Troika are making lots of saucy techdemos with a particularly tasty new engine. I like the sound of this!
