  1. Winter nights are coming, and I've got that mapping bug again. Time to catch up on TDM!

      It's a contrast thing. Cold and miserable outside, warm and comfy inside. Nothing better than hot cocoa, a warm blanket and your favorite book/music/movie /game in wintertime.

      Ha, my town just got first snow last week. Glad to see this might be turning into proper winter, last few have been rather disappointing.

       

      Not here to enjoy the weather then, Airship? Where you at? Drop me a PM will ya'!

  3. Just wanted to recommend The Swapper to you guys. It's a semi casual teleportation puzzle game with great soundtrack and atmosphere.

  4. And nu Thief is on sale already! That was fast. Is 33% off good enough? I'll have to think about it :)

  5. Astroturfing sucks. I'm trying not to let paranoia take hold but so many portents are in the corners...

      I know man, its everywhere. You know what you should try? Valium! I too was doubtful of medication, but then my doctor prescribed me this wonder medicine. I know a very good online store I could share with you if you want!

  6. Played MGS: Ground Zeroes over the weekend, not sure if I like the shift in tone from goofy yet philosophical to grimdark torture porn.

      I did kinda' think that the emotional downfall of Snake was well done however. With Kiefer doing the VA and Snake appearing apathetic to all sorts of crazy shit in the new game, you lose empathy for him real quick. Good set-up for those inevitable MG1&2 remakes ;-)

      Did you play GZ yet? Some of those scenes got me squeamish, and I've got a pretty good stomach for this sort of thing. I guess violence against children is just something you don't really expect in games out of all mediums. While it was handled well, I can't help shake the feeling that all those scenes weren't exactly necessary. It's clear there is no more room for comedy in MGS.

      I'm stuck here staring at my puny 190 brushes. But they are my finest brushes yet!

  10. I've been thinking of asking this earlier: is it a known engine quirk that the player can clip through walls by strafe-running along them in TDM?

      I seem to be able to reproduce it quite often. Basically what you need to do is run against a wall at an angle while holding both forward and strafing (like when collecting speed in classic Quake-engine based games). Once you hit the right speed and angle, you will clip slightly through the wall. You can then continue until you come out on the other side.

  12. Would a video explaining proper city visportalization be useful?

  13. Thief has its flaws yes but holy fuck is it fun to play! I'm very impressed so far!

      The actual loading times are really fast even on my ye olde HDD (5 - 15 seconds). I could imagine them being a breeze on an SSD.

      The loading screens get annoying really fast, especially when navigating around the city. Lets say you want to buy new items: You start from the clocktower. From there you have to walk to the Crippled Burrick, go through a loading screen, buy your stuff, then go through another loading screen to get back. For focus upgrades there are two loading screens, so if you go back and forth that makes four loading screens total.

      As a person who simply adores water, I love this. Even if its not completely accurate or anything, its still pretty mesmerizing to just play around with. Thanks for sharing, you just killed my productivity :D

      I was really disappointed with Space Dandy. Naturally with Watanabe in helm I was expecting something along the lines of Bebop or Champloo - instead we get this trippy junk aimed at late night Adult Swim audiences.

       

      I might be a bit harsh, but after all the hype it was just such a letdown. I dropped the series after ep. 3. Maybe I'll give it another shot one day.

  18. So did someone ping modetwo via email, or did he just discover the forum was down? If the latter, we need to get his email address so we don't have long outages again.

      Seconding that the site was unreachable a few hours ago.

  19. Decided to try some games I picked up on Steam sales. Ended up playing through Call of Juarez: Gunslinger in one sitting. Absolutely the best shooter I have played in years. If you like FPS games even in the slightest and haven't played it - just do it. You'll thank me later.

      Looking back, despite 2013 being a pretty bad year for PC gaming in general, it was a good year for FPS games with old-school spirit. We got Gusnlinger, Blood Dragon, Shadow Warrior, Metro: Last Light and probably a few others I can't remember now. Apparently the ROTT remake was good as well?

  20. I've got the next two weeks off for my Xmas holidays so I've decided to attempt a speed build. I'm going to try and build a haunted manor FM over a twe week period. As the manor consists of 10 rooms and I'll be using the modular building technique, this should not be too difficult. I'll be taking inspiration from The Cradle and Rose Cottage :)

      I see your point there. If you have the time, try Sotha's method. A build-log, especially for a smaller build like this, could be very valuable for new mappers!

      Cool! It would be great if you'd chronicle your progress / experience as you go, like Mellan did with Fiasco at Fauchard Street.
