      I never got into Doctor Who. My best friend loves it. I have to wait for the crap to finish every Saturday night before we can go out.

      OTOH Red Dwarf is absolutely awesome. I have every series on DVD. Got a bit weak towards the end but when they were firing on all cylinders it was magic.

      Most people I know have never heard of it because it wasn't aired in germany. And it's really hard explaining it without sounding totally silly. Which it is but I love it. ;)

    Interesting discussion on HUD design. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/07/who-needs-a-hud-metro-last-light-and-the-return-to-realism/

      I sometimes like to play without the lightgem. It's another element of challenge. You have to pay attention to where you're walking, though I still think it's right that it's in the vanilla setup.

      One way to get rid of hud is binding with body awareness: when you take bow, you can see arrows sticking out of quiver at bottom of screen. If you want to see stocked items, you take a look at your chest and pockets under coat, or open sack. Also left hand is not so busy, so you could have light gem as watch on wrist(compass, etc) -left hand could be switched on and off just like right hand with sword.

      Was not aware of that but excellent! I'm going to try that this weekend to up the challenge.

      That's quite strange. I just explained to my wife why the fancy restarant in Monsters Inc. was called Harryhausens. It's like I reminded death that he was still around...

      Oh man, no way. I was just watching the 7th Voyage of Simbad the other day.

    What do I do when not working on TDM, you ask? Well, I do things like this: http://www.amazon.com/The-Feast-ABNA-Entry-ebook/dp/B00B9N8GB2/ref=br_lf_m_1001087871_3_81_ttl?ie=UTF8&s=digital-text&pf_rd_p=1512768842&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1001087871&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1XTB55PHDW1CA66TEK1E

      So if Mars is near Snickers does that mean they're in Aero space?

      Yeah I've seen some really nice and convincing skyboxes in TDM. Of note is the one on Chalice of Kings.

      Looks great. Is it also good for real time radiosity? I'd love to see the next gen treatment of a daytime city street scene.

      The future for screensavers is exciting indeed.

      Im looking to upgrade from my custom cooled GTX 480 to a GTX 670 in the very near future.

    Hosed my darkmod tree while trying to revert backward for bug fixing. Looks like Tortoise SVN has some issues in that respect. Downloading the whole thing from scratch, so today is shot.

      Oh no. :( Hope you don't have to rewrite too much. :(

    2. grayman

      Nope. This was the darkmod tree, not the source tree.

    Got an AI to use an elevator instead of the stairs. Now I have to stop him from walking into a wall after he steps off the elevator and reaches his goal path_corner.

  13. grayman

    I just taught a pair of rats to follow a Revenant on his patrol. Looks like the pied piper at work.
