  1. Re:He forgot one obvious deviation.. on Nit-Pickers Guide to Deviations in Jackson's LotR · · Score: 5, Funny
    Don't mod me "funny" goddammit:)
    • I was serious. This guy dosn't seem to realise that Jackson had artistic freedom when making these movies. For all that he cares, Jackson could have "desecrated the holy LOTR scrolls" and made it into whatever he wanted.
    • Besides, I don't get any karma for it:)

    ..the books don't start with the words: "based on the book by J.R.R. Tolkien"

    these are geeks we're talking about, not perverts
    what are YOU talking about? the words 'geek' and 'pervert' seems mutually inclusive to me.

    Yeah, somehow it reminds me of SCO. "We have the JUICY stuff right here! But well, we can't show it to you.. you know, legal reasons.."

  5. Re:Dunno about building on LEGO Competition Selects Three New Master Builders · · Score: 1

    I had the monorail LEGO set years ago. Me and my friend had a game where we would build machines of mass destruction to run against each other on the monorail roller coaster. Big rotating propellers. Spikes. One would climb the monorail and the other would roll down by gravity.

    It usually took 2 hours to build them, and .2 seconds to witness their destruction.

    I should've patented it and sued robotwars today.

    OK, that's IT! I can live with Google selling "product placement slots" and telling me I can't spell probably.. but now they're touching my pr0n?!?!? I WILL DESTROY YOU!

  12. Re:Valve Hammer Editor on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You havn't downloaded the BETA?!?!1!

    Seriously, Valve has promised to make the migration from HL1 to HL2 as painless as possible. I guess that means some kind of backward compatibility in the HL2 editor.

  13. Learn more than one thing on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    It would be a bit risky to focus on suddenly being "an level artist with an outstanding portfolio" wouldn't it? But it would certaintly look good on your CV for any position in the game industry if you show that you've been "around". Communication is usually a problem in software engineering projects, so being able to understand what each other is doing is definitely an advantage.

    I recommend that you'd also take your time to learn a little about:

    Programming

    Scripting

    Photoshopping (Sorry! I said GIMP'ing, of course)

    3d modelling

    Sound editing

  14. Valve Hammer Editor on Trying Your Hand at Level Design? · · Score: 5, Informative

    That's the Half-Life editor. It's been tried and tested. Lots of tutorials to be found on the net. Easy to use and learn.

    However, being an excellent architect is never easy:)

  15. Sing it: WRAAAH on Yamaha Releases Singing Synthesis Software · · Score: 1

    The BEST part about software synthesized vocals is being able to put it through one of these babies.

    The electric guitar has tought us that you must fuck up the sound before it becomes cool.

    Hopefully they're knighting him just as a preparation for sending him out on some stupid crusade from which he'll never return.

  22. security in windows on Scam Combines Patriot Act FUD With IE Bug · · Score: 3, Interesting

    many roads lead to a safer internet expirience. mozilla, firewalls, scriptblockers.. however, the method i've found most effective is what i call "security through some old piece of crap". my mIRC client says "copyright 1995-1998", and when I asked 50+ nerds on a channel to try and DoS me, nobody could find a crack old enough! so the lesson is: don't wait for the new patch. revert to a version before the bug was even introduced.
