  1. Mapping while listening to Sothas soothing voice with his lovely finnish accent, explaining how awesome modular building techniques are :)

  2. Finally played through Max Payne 1 and 2 this weekend.. They were very enjoyable games. Although many games dip in quality at the end, I felt that the final segments of these games were the best. They give you all the goodies, (sniper rifle, molotovs, grenades), as well as plenty of enemies to use them on.

  3. Man-oh-man, the new ambience trailer for The Black Parade is such a thing of beauty...

      Tarhiel: they would agressively look for "vantage points" to keep their distance and get a better shot at you, and as a consequence, were harder to catch.

      Indeed, it is great that technical matters - which many of us find hard to understand - are presented so clearly and with so much useful detail.

  5. Remember kiddies, if you're not paying for a product, you *are* the product. Oh, nevermind; this is the 21st century, and you're still the product even when you pay for something. https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/06/ftc_spanks_vizio_for_slurping_viewer_activity/

  6. The family member count increases by one. All hail the newest addition! With the new baby, things are super-hectic, so I'm out of the TDM scene for a while. Sorry about that! Cheers, and keep up the good work!

  7. Got my hands on a screaming fast 256GB USB flash drive that reads at 400 MB/s and writes at 150MB/s... pure awesomeness. They do actually make a model with even faster writes, but the capacity is lower (due to over-provisioning?) This makes a great mobile Linux drive though.

      That sounds really good. Does it work with a standard USB drive?

  8. Fantastic election we have here in the USA, one candidate is a mafia don and the other calls for drone strikes against whistle-blowers: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/782906224937410562

  9. Is anyone building anything for Halloween this year? ^_^

  17. Looks like 3 omni speakers can drop fps from 26 to 4 with stuttering - if the scene is full of huge outdoor visportals.

      Rats Triumphant is expensive mainly because of the huge street that doesn't break line of sight. (And which is an unintended consequence of the mission growing well beyond its intended scale)

  18. Sooo, what are your favourite flickering light textures?

  19. Those times when you screw up a cunning idea and end up rebuilding a few things just so you don't have to discard it? It is one of those times!
