Order from Steam, order from Amazon, order from any game store online. I can't imagine anyone actually trekking out to the store to buy a game these days. 

Most games are still sold in stores Willem.

Having said that, if you're not ready to go to the store, or to get your game delivered online, or to buy it on steam or something, and can't be bothered to copy a serial key (oh noes!) maybe you shouldn't be playing games.

Oh, and Steam rocks. 

I don't think I've actually been out to the store to buy a game for ... a long while. Steam/Amazon/BestBuy.com (when there's a sale) are all I use for buying games online. I just cba to actually physically move myself to get a game when I can just buy online and download it or have it shipped to me at work. 

A bit of a weird question: what racing/car games have a publically available mapping/track editor? 

Trackmania Nations.
And Stunts. ;) 

There's some game coming out on PS3/PSP that's all about the track editing and car/character editing.

I bought my copy of L4D2 in a store, just because it would be quicker to get it on my HDD than downloading it from the net :)
And the box was slightly cheaper than the steam store price. 

If its not on disk it ain't worth the risque. 

As for the RQ type dialemma - please just carry on regardless for me ;)

Dont let one opinion affect your own will. You POV is just as valid as any other **** ;)

<RickyT23> do you think it would work on my level?
<RickyT23> Its a very big level
<@LordHavoc> never know until you try
<RickyT23> True
<@LordHavoc> the main feature of hmap2 -light is that it is several times faster than other light utils
<RickyT23> I will have to try
<@LordHavoc> (and accordingly has -extra8x8 to make it slow, with 64 sample antialiasing)
<RickyT23> which would probably look cool.
<@LordHavoc> since one always wants a light util to take lots of time for a final compile :P
<RickyT23> Does it output .lit files?
<@LordHavoc> ... I invented .lit :P
<RickyT23> ah

LordH is cool though, very cool, and helpful. 

<@LordHavoc> ... I invented .lit :P

something for the religion thread no?

Great work! 

I'm making my first single player map and it won't be a masterpiece or anything.

But at the same time, I find it so weird that just because I have read a lot of threads here for so many years that I actually know far more about what I am doing that I expected.

Not just the mapping, but also the game play.

I never thought I'd make a single player map, but I got stranded in the heavy snow last week for 2 days and that was what I did to entertain myself.

I hope to finish it soon, but there might be a delay.

My angle on this isn't "making a map", I'm currently in the process of tearing the map apart and reconstructing it.

I want to see if I can shred it into prefabs and reassemble it quickly. And measure the time.

I may do this a few times to optimize the speed, and who knows ... maybe I'll rinse and repeat for a month and instead of releasing a "map", release an update a heavily upgraded Worldcraft 3.3. Quake Adapter plus an entire single player episode.

Or maybe I won't ...

Still, I'm rather shocked at how non-newbie my mapping is just because I've absorbed so much from reading this board ... 

I wouldn't be shocked if I was in your position. There's a lot of good mappers and smart people on here ;)

Good stuff tho... 

We want shots... and I want to beta test ;)
