      @Sotha, but here in the Uk we always put the work Go at the the beginning of that sentence..

      Huh? Cannot understand. Sentence seems incomplete. "Put the work" on what? Go to the beginning of what sentence?

      Like bigger budget for hireing more team, spending extra on voice-overs, and more assets.

  5. Gecko's new texture pack looks cool in game:

    1. STiFU

      STiFU

      I'd say some things look nice, but some things really don't!! :) It's still great though Thief can do HD textures now...

    2. Bikerdude

      I think for te most part he has a good eye for what matches the old textures, I did notice a bunch of miss-alignments and such, but I imagine these will get ironed out in testing.

      Some of them do act as phenomenal replacements, but others are so drastically different that they make for a completely different feeling. Still, very nice.

      Snap, I was just about to post in the main forum. I have been PMing him for the last two months. We are working on a map that should have been out the door already.

      I'm pretty sure that Doom 3 modders are supposed to be the arch enemys of HL2 modders are (according to D3W). So, arguably TDM is their direct rival...? Well, probably Classic Doom 3 mod but it'll be fun to play with that rivalry idea anyway. Too bad Cruible wont be ready to be released the same day. DIE HL2 MODDER SCUM!! LoL

  8. Brutal DooM. Anyone heard of this thing? :D

      Man, that's brutal alright! I recognize some blood spatter from Blood, but those explosions and gibs are outrageous. Really cool mod.

      I played it a bit a while ago, unfortunately I had 300 ping to the host and I kept eating my own rockets when teammates ran in front of me. Good fun though

      The game companies used to be good at controlling the small number of Magazines that offered reviews. Now, with so many review sites, they have changed strategies. I am not sure that the article really reflects the true root of mediocrity here. Were publishers ever willing to risk divisive artistic games? At least now, there is a fact-check against pure shilling. Sounds more like a critic raging against the the dilution of his craft. Point taken about the poor deals given to developers over t...

      some are being ruined, seen loads of reviews where the first bits of text read 'i dont like this type of game so i've given it a low score' so if a games company only see's the score then that game is likely to get binned.

      heheh, the laser show at the grand opening was a joke. And you can go up in the elevator, but the cheeky gits have the stunning audacity to charge £25a time..

      @jay pettit: There is an uncanny resemblance, plus it is an example of a symbol of power ripping up the city fabric.

       

      @Bikerdude: I can probably think of a hundred better ways to spend Ł25 in London...

      I'd trade for some summer about now... been getting down to 2C with up to 100% humidity on a nearly daily basis.. and there's another 1-1.5 months of this left.

      My philosophy is that if it's cold, I can simply get warmer clothing and maybe heating. But there is no protection against heat, I can get completely naked, it won't help! lol

      Hey guys! Start a thread in the OT section for this please. I'm also very interested in this (I bet everyone are or have to be). I'm not a specialist but I've also got the feeling that the credit raters create a self-implementing prophecy to ruin us all.

      Certainly I think the UK has been exceptionally weak about bank regulation post the 2008 crash. Europe proper was making some serious moves towards some tax disincentives for bank naughtiness, but the UK didn't want to play nice with the other kids for fear of disgruntling our City of London finance overlords. And when it comes to regulation in a global market, lowest common denominator wins.

       

      I know Gordon Brown was helluva unpopular, but in hindsight, this new lot we've go...

      I assume it works with a TG only CD
