I'm not sure I can answer that question yet. I can, however, reveal that I am working on a DS game at a company in Kyoto*.

*not neccessarily Nintendo. 

maybe i've missed something, but what about "for those who weep"? don't tell me you haven't worked on it in the last ~1,5 years.

-totally out of context, but i was just wondering... 

The gamespot feed I was watching ended up dying, so I only saw upto where they were about to pick the competition winner. Did I miss much after that? 

They picked a sweaty nerd from the audience and he got to play some tennis with Reggie, Iwata and Miyamoto. And the crazy thing is, it looked fucking awesome and cool.
And that was the end.

Than: bastard. 

czg: Are you on the team doing [q]The Darkness[/q]?

If so that would be awesome because that game looks fucking sweet as hell ok thanks.

I'm working on F.E.A.R. Extraction Point -- yay for Level Designers actually doing geometry \o/ 

I've just now gotten 3000 MB space / 250 GB bandwidth on a host that has been pretty solid for me before, and as I said back in August '05 I'd like to help a little and host some mappers.

However, before I do that I've decided I need to see what demand there is for this. I would only host a handful anyway, not like 25-50+.

So, who is interested? Based upon that I'll purchase the domain. 

The new Nintendo thing looks cool. I love Nintendo. They make THE best games ever. EVER. However, the "Wii"? WTF? That name is super gay.
Hot Chick: "Zwiffle, you wanna go out you super foxy mappist?"
Zwiffle: "No way baby, I gotta go home and play with my Wii."
That's just wrong, and I blame Nintendo for that happening in the future. That chick was hot (and 11).

Neg!ke: Huh? I lost that map when I moved on over to GtK. I was building that with Hammer, and when I switched I kinda lost all of my old Hammer maps. Kinda sad, I had like 5,000 - 6,000 brushes and no detail, and the layout IMO was pretty sweet. I had this one three-tiered room that bent around into two other areas that linked back over and under this other area you passed before, giving you a totally different view that gave way to this giant mechanical vagi... anyway, it was cool.

Oh well. Haven't worked on any maps since Christmas or so. Life sucks. 

I might be, if I ever get back into mapping (prolly during the summer sometime.)
I'd rather be hosted by you than by Scampie (no offense).

Domain name ideas:
"Awesomecockmapping.com"
"MySmallPenis.com"
"CockToCock.com"
"PenIsland.com" <-- cracks me up
"BiffReleaseThatCoolLookingBaseMap.com"

P.S.: When you end a sentence with parentheses, do you put the .,!? inside or outside the parentheses? 

Bl!tz: You got in the industry? That's awesome, but what about that cool-looking Hexen TC? OK I'll stop posting until tomorrow sometime. 

no, because: bl!tz = blitz / neg!ke != negike ! ;)

sad thing about the map, the few screenshots on pipeline looked nice, indeed. i hope this doesn't mean there will never be a full-sized map by you again. 

Inside (like this.) 

Hot Chick: "Zwiffle, you wanna go out you super foxy mappist?"
Zwiffle: "No way baby, I gotta go home and play with my Wii."
That's just wrong

What's wrong:
1) That you'd rather play with your nintendo than rape women.
2) That you think women enjoy being raped by mappers.
3) That you're trying to fool us into thinking you have a home when we all know you live in a rusty fridge behind McDonalds.

Also you could have said "Wanna come home with me and play wii?" and maybe if you were lucky she was into watersports and said yes. 

I think Bl!tz has a ! on MIRC. I think. 

Strunk and White says outside (like this).

(If the whole sentence is in parentheses, then you do it like this.)

Also, you can put ?'s (WTF?) and !'s (neg!ke != negike!) in parentheses if they occur in the middle of a sentence.

:) 

I always did what Mike said, ever since middle school, but it never seemed right to me. I'll just write my own English rules (!) .? << endl; 

Regarding building a new PC, I have a couple questions:
1.) I have an ATI card, and I heard switching between ATI and Nvidia drivers can be very very painful if you don't completely remove all traces of ATI drivers before installing Nvidia drivers. Would it be easier to just stay with ATI or is Nvidia worth it? (Probably I'll get either a 7800 GT or x1800 XT.)

2.) My friend said if Windows XP detects major hardware changes then it will lock me out of my computer and refuse to boot up unless I reinstall Windows. I would rather not do that. Is this true to anyone's knowledge? If so, are there any work arounds or anything? I don't want to have to back up my entire Quake directory and huge amounts of anime/manga to reinstall Windows. 

1/ I don't know about "collisions" between ATI and Nvidia, but I have other examples of concurrent tools that requested a complete uninstall process to work (e.g Norton vs Avast, etc..) So concerning video cards, I wouldn't bet on the fact you can do it safely: drivers are nothing more than programs that run your video cards, so...

2/ He is true: I sadly experimented it with my parents' PC. I had to reinstall Window, and then reinstall all the other programs cause Windows didn't recognized them any more: one week of work, thanks Microsoft.. :(

IMHO, best things to do is to go for a "higher" ATI. As back compatibility is normally ensured, I guess you will not have too much problem to upgrade your settings... just don't install this fucking Control Center.... 

you don't have to reinstall, you just have to reactivate it. If you don't reactivate it, it will eventually lock you out, just the same as if you do not activate it within the 30 day period prior to installing the OS. Also after a certain amount of formats/reinstalls,
you will be told when trying to activate XP that, basically you have done it to many times and you have to ring microsoft bla bla bla, they will walk you through the process and you'll be back up and running in no time, however you will have to go through the calling microsoft after nearly every format/install after that. It's a fairly painless procedure though.

I have also been told that after 50 installs, you will have to buy a new copy of XP, as you will no longer be able to activate your copy. I don't know how true that is, I haven't experienced that yet. But the other above I am very familiar with unfortunately.

This is actually the reason that I am experimenting with Linux, and as long as I can get my games to run fine, bye bye Windows.

I like to be able to do what I like with my OS, install it when, and as many times as I like. I believe that if you read through all the agreements with XP, you will find that they can actually shut you down and deny you access to the OS when ever they feel like it. They would of course have to have a good reason, but by installing XP and accepting the agreements, your basically telling them you agree with that. I have only been told this and shown excerpts, never actually bothered to read it myself, but I had no reason to doubt the peeps that told me, then again... 

There are differences between the 'oem' and retail versions, they go through different activating proceedures, so somethings experienced with the oem version may not apply to the retail version. I have a couple of both and have seen this first hand.

Then of course I may be full of shit, and all the above is just bullshit... 

Last one I promise.

major hardware

The emphasis here should be on major, I have changed video, sound cards, Ram, (I don't consider them major)many a time without any need to do anything with regaurds to keeping the OS running. From what I have seen it's basically motherboards, perhaps CPU that will require action, or perhaps a number of items at the same time. But if you are like me, any hardware upgrade is usually follwed by a complete format reinstall, after I have checked everything out on the current install as to try and avoid any problems on a clean install.

Am I drunk? No,
stoned? well thats against the law, so I wouldn't do that, perhaps a bit dizzy
I don't usually talk this much, it won't happen again.

Actually being stoned isn't against the law, being in possession, or operating a vehicle whilst being stoned are, so.... yeah, I'm stoned, absolutely out of my tree, and loving it. Carry on!! 

... either change of environment (go for Linux), or buy a brand new PC...

I think the safest way to avoid fights with environment settings/re-installation/etc.. bla bla bla... would be to buy a brand new PC... just to be able to re-install your Windows compatible tools... bleh ! 

i doubt you'd run into any problems with just a video card replacement, but i don't have experience when going from ati to nvidia.

typically, things like motherboard or cpu would maybe make windows stop working. a friend of mine told me there's a way to get windows to redetect hardware configuration, but he forgot how. 9_9 worth looking into, anyway. 

thanks to the people who put up info ages ago regarding a new comp.

Got it today, and it's a flier. The 7900GT is indeed a monster card, I just need to find somewhere in melbourne that can get me a dual link dvi-d cable for my monitor. But games look great and fly.

Now i just need to find the time to go through all the titles I wanted to play. 

within the 30 day period prior to installing the OS
That of course was ment to be '30 day period AFTER installing the OS

So According To [59.167.126.200]... either change of environment (go for Linux), or buy a brand new PC...

I'm not totally sure that is what I said, I'll have to wait a day or 2 to know for sure, but by then I prolly won't care 0_o 

I'm not totally sure that is what I said, I'll have to wait a day or 2 to know for sure, but by then I prolly won't care 0_o

errr... I was joking... really... just in case you took that as is ;P
