Ah, I see -- are you talking about stock? Also, I suggest joining a labor union in the area! 
Willem - UT3 PS3 
Is the PS3 version of UT3 any good? I enjoy mapping for UT3 on my PC, but for the past months I've been drifting more and more towards gaming just on my PS3. I know that UT3 PS3 supports custom content so I could even playtest my maps on it if I wanted to. So the question is, is the PS3 version of the game actually good?

If you like shooters on consoles, it's good. I liked it a lot and I know it's gotten great reviews.

I dunno, I think the 360 version is probably superior but I only say that because I like the 360 controller more. In terms of the game itself, they're basically identical in terms of feel. 
Dawn Of War 2 Website Live 
http://www.dawnofwar2.com/us/home

It has one of those frustrating age gates, which I have to scroll downwards through a little more every year, how depressing!

Game looks nice tho! 
 
I always choose 1900 as a "fuck you" the whole inane process. 
LOL 
The default way really... 
Hmm 
How does the control system work with the complexity of UT3 on console?

I normally play CoD4 on the consoles due (in part) to the 'simplicity' (I believe this is also part of the incomprehendable success of the Halo series). I'm not condoning the doctrine that complexity in games is a bad thing, but I'm not sure how scrolling through a dozen weapons with different fire modes on a pad would work in a fast fps... 
Hmm 
And I always choose my actual birthdate, it's just too cool not to 
 
The weapon switching is pretty smooth once you get used to it - we use a pop-up wheel approach. Once you know where the weapons are on it (they don't move and have static slots), it's easy.

"And I always choose my actual birthdate, it's just too cool not to"

I guess I'll just move this along then since it seems to be stuck ... Hey, what's your birth date?! 
Max Payne Movie 
Mark Wahlberg is a reasonably decent choice for Max Payne, and the movie doesn't look all that bad for a slow-mo shoot em up. They even have cool angels pulling Mr. Payne during some of his more acrobatic jumping sequences, which I think is a nice touch and quite refreshing. Trailer @ shacknews.com, possibly others. 
Lol 
Mark Wahlberg.

"omg, something is HAPPENING!"

He might be a decent action movie guy, actually come to think of it it's not his fault he was cast in yet another pretentious, preachy, artsy, condescending shamylan flick.

Anyone read "What if Michael Bay had written The Dark Knight" btw, on the subject of mocking directors? What's hilarious is how little of an exaggeration that actually was. 
Tronyn: 
yeah, i read that "rejected michael bay batman script" thing. funny. 
But Shamylanyshama 
isn't directing that movie! 
Clive Owen 
that would be a perfect max payne. 
Damn Right There 
 
Clive Owen, Good Actor 
but too British for Max, I haven't seen him pull off an American role the way Bale or Hugh Laurie (who uses an interesting mix of prep school and Mid-Atlantic in his accent for House). Max Payne is a young Mickey Rourke, but unfortunately no time machines exist, so I guess Wahlberg is a fine substitute.

Mila Kunis as Mona Sax? Drop dead Gorgeous face, but lacks the long legs and husky voice necessary for the roll. She is in her mid to late twenties now, so maybe she can adjust that voice (think Meg on Family Guy if you are not familiar with her) to pull it off and she would have to wear stilettos for a femme fatale roll, anyway. 
What Was That Film He Did? 
Sniper, he starts of as a Sniper and his partner (sniper) gets killed in Iraq and he just gets out, then they try to fram him for an assasination attempt!

Good movie, very 80's action flick 
His Best Work IMHO 
was in The Departed and Boogie Nights

I believe in miracles, woo hoo! . .  
Ricky: 
you're thinking of Shooter 
Thanks Man 
that was bugging the hell out of me! 
Spd 
we miss you in tf :( 
Improved Classic Theme For WinXP And Vista 
Thought I'd share a slightly improved version of the Classic theme for Windows XP and Vista with the rest of you as I think it's a lot more pleasing to the eye:

Screenshot: http://jago.pp.fi/misc/klassik/klassik.jpg
Download: http://jago.pp.fi/misc/klassik/klassik06_v1.zip

Installation:
Unzip the archive, move the *.ttf files into C:\Windows\Fonts and the *.theme files into C:\Windows\Resources\Themes Double-click on one of the *.theme files (the screenshot shows the Calibri version) and accept the change. The only difference between the 2 files is the font being used. 
 
look nice 
Of Course... 
They should've gone with Sam Lake as Max Payne. 
Preach/Kell 
Okay, so if you don't want to release all of the quoth2 source, that's fine.

Could you at least release world.qc, trigger.qc, you know, all the stuff with the really handy utilitarian mapper assists / model saving coolness / etc that doesn't involve quoth content? They're awesome, but other mappers who want to use them for their own mod being forced to reinvent all those wheels is a little stupid.
