Inspiration & Reference
I just wanted to know if people had any links to good websites for either level design inspiration (photos, paintings, concept art, etc.) or just for architectural reference. We had a thread like this on the old qmap, but we know how much good that does us.

Yeah

Amon Tobin : Isam Live

An old buddy of mine from high school was one of the lead programmers on this. Super impressive stuff, fascinating technology. 
 
yeah, hope it's cool, i'm going to see it in october. 
Wow 
that was amazing :) and he's coming to London! (if London hasn't torn itself apart by then :( )

These shots are awesome, despite they look like giant flying jellyfish... :P http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01446/jellyfish_1446980c.jpg 
Doom And Architecture 
Came across this, figured might interest some here, not sure if its been posted before, too lazy to search :

I've Seen That Elsewhere 
I skimmed over that but remember zero valuable information in the article, is there anything in there? 
 
yeah... i remember that article too. He went to a lot of effort to document stuff that he basically doesn't understand, so there's not much insight to be had. 
Playing Through Painkiller: Overdose 
Which isn't a very good game, but it is very pretty. I've been taking screenshots as I go through for my own reference, but if anyone else is interested here's my Steam folder. I haven't uploaded all of them yet.

Teaser 
PCF 
Should just hire Necros and be done with it. 
 
i wouldn't even make it to the first milestone on a commercial team. 
 
also, those screens are beautiful. never played the expack. 
 
I have a load more shots btw will upload them soon. The game stresses the engine and crashes quite a bit (and load times are immense) :E

Also for some reason it stops taking screenshots after a while. Kinda annoying. The last level is pretty awesome though :) 
 
Been Watching And Looking At Big Mountains A Lot Recently 
I watched Everest B.T.L series 1, 2 and 3, Touching the Void, K2 the Ultimate High, Alive. During reading on google I found this:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Annapurna_from_west.jpg

Meant to be the most dangerous mountain of all. A lot of mountains are known in local folklore to be the homes of gods and evil spirits.

This is not the best reference, but it contains a load of names for Mount Everest, and their meanings:

Could be a good theme for a map - evil mountain spirit. Although I think Necros probably already won that one! 
Also 
Apparently 1 in 3 climbers to set foot on K2 die. 
Touching The Void 
complete madness! 
 
Ricky I would bet that 3/3 climbers to set foot on K2 die. Everything dies. :( 
Haha 
I mean they die on their expedition. They go onto the mountain in that instance, and perish the very same trip. 1 in 3. That's a lot. The mortality rate for females climbing everest is (or was anyway) 100%. Something like five women atleast, all died. 
Not Everest, Sorry 
I meant to say K2. 
 
Sounds like they were dying to get up. 
Spirit... 
... wins the honorary top-voted-Reddit-comment of the day
