Play less Engineer. Seriously. It's mindboggling. Go play Soldier or something fun! 

I thought this was General Abuse... doh. 

Bradley was a Pussy.

Wait, wrong thread.

Check out the full set, pretty awesome. 

Cool if it wasn't Flickr which makes me not bother...

very slow and instable, but nice stalker like pictures. 

that's pretty gruesome 

quite harrowing. A warning to people of faint disposition may be appropriate with a link like that.

However, it's good to see Nike sponsoring the boys, and Christian Bale doing his bit for the war effort.

I like how Russia's like "Don't worry, we're following all the laws, we're making a truce, we're about to pull out, we're on our way out, we're not even there anymore" as their soldiers fortify their positions and reinforce their presence.

not blaming the whole thing on them, but Russia seems increasingly sinister these days. About five years ago I had a Russian history professor who said "Every year the gap between Putin and a dictator grows smaller," and that was before plenty of the shit Russia has done since then. 

it's both sides pumping out propaganda.

Now there's some inspiration. 

Russia is VONDUR, and is therefore awesome.

Russia is also this which is also awesome:

There is no propaganda, there is only... VONDUR. 

That was indeed awesome. 

that is one of the best links ever posted on this board. Every frame of it ruled. 

that's as good as the chainsaw maid video someone else posted. 

yea this is a nice video :)

SEE:
Architects who design residences like steel-and-glass skyscrapers, only tiny!
FEEL:
The pain of residents with no privacy and massive electric bills! 

Well, even though it IS a "Portal of Souls" as in The Night Journey, the style might not be so much my style - if a similar underwater maze partially submerged was found in Europe, that might be more like it. I've never really done Mayan or even Egyptian stuff, which seems like a more simple architectural style than (Medieval) Arabian or European - but of course in any Quake map there's a good deal of "make up whatever the hell you want." I do admit to the underground mazes tendency though - lol, just wait for Arcanum.

Re: Lunaran link
I still don't understand why there aren't "stylistic" buildings that are just totally reactionary. I guess every huge company just has to go with the modernism/futurism style in order to seem cutting-edge.

Those pics remind me of Kowloon Walled City on a ridiculously grand scale. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City Obviously the density is much, much less, considering KWC had 50,000 inhabitants on 0.026 km� before it was razed, but there's something just...busy feeling about those pics that gives that same vibe. Lots of people in a (relatively) small area...

More cool KWC pics + info here: http://www.doobybrain.com/2007/08/22/kowloon-walled-city-city-of-darkness/

I highly recommend the book. 

I had no idea about Kowloon Walled City! Sounds like something from a SF book... 

looks completely badass. o.o
