Interesting discussion of "Choose Your Own Adventure" books, regarding the game design and book design elements of them:

A very interesting article about how Chewbacca came to be. It is less nerdgasm but an actual look how a character/design gets inspired and changed during the process.

All my Fighting Fantasy books - seems my Dad chucked them out.

Good article. 

A very interesting article about how Chewbacca came to be. It is less nerdgasm but an actual look how a character/design gets inspired and changed during the process.

Cheers, that was pretty interesting. I particularly liked how Chewbacca's design basically boiled down to:

Lucas: "Fuck it, just copy this drawing I found in a sci-fi magazine...but without the tits." 

is pretty cool. Have you tried mailing Fat Controller rob-at-breakthinktank-com ? A programmable map sequence would be good, or perhaps you can do it already. 

but if I had to buy one fairly new xbox 360 game, what should it be?

besides tetris evolution 

Uhh what do you want that you don't already have? 

A few I played on pc that were good,
Mass Effect 2
Modern Warfare 2
Dragon Age : Something?
GTA4

I played some cool motor-bike stunt/physics type game that my brother got off the Xbox Live market place, no idea what it was called but it was awesome! 

like, your favourite game on xbox from the last year or two.

I only have bioshock, dead space and Brutal legend. 

My favorite game on Xbox is SSF4. There are no other 'favorite' games of mine, xbox sucks, if you can get something on PC do so. 

thanks for your suggestion. 

and thanks DaZ 

SleepwalkR I don't give a fuck if you stop it or not, you want to start a flame war and I will not give it to you, I have a full proper life and don�t have time for you.

I will put this pack together because I care for this game and for some people in here, for your information you are know in my ignore list!

I will not respond anymore to you 

Could you... I dunno... Not have responded to him that time?

You know, rather than clearly attempting to start a flame war in GA as a means of garnering attention to yourself as some fucked up form of self validation. Again.

Also hypocrite. 

I'm not trying to start a flame war. My message is simple and I'll assume that everyone agrees with me: This community is not a place for racists like you. People like you cannot be tolerated, not here or anywhere, even if you were the best mapper in the world.

I refuse to ignore you, because obviously, you are not going away (not longer than a couple months anyway). And until everyone tells me to shut up, I'll keep asking you to get the fuck out of here. Leave us alone please. I'm sure there are plenty of internet forums for racists and homophobes out there, so why don't you go there. 

If you're having such a "proper full life", why do you keep getting into arguments and ragequit all the time? 

No not everyone agrees with you, you have some supporters like nonentity, Spirit and some more two or 3...

congratulation�s!!!

this is a mapping community, not the things you said:

" This community is not a place for racists like you. People like you cannot be tolerated"

I'm what I want if you don't like, shoot your self-peace of shit nobody needs you...

In last years, and all time I have contribute much more then you... I appeal to mapping you appeal discussion... again I ask what people of a mapping channel needs?

My personal opinions are MINE, I have enough age to like whoever I want.

I dont come here to talk about my racism... I come to map.

You come to piss up people...

metlslime is a nice guy and if he wants I respect is decision. 

... yet another drama... :P 

Right Trinca. From the top;


Actually, I'm pretty sure the majority agrees with Sleep here. Obviously myself and spirit. And those one or two others you mention would (I assume) be the other people who complained about your attitude in the speedmap thread (ie, necros and rickyt. Oh, and rj). And then all the people you've offended on here and in #tf previously (ie, the majority of people on here or in #tf).

So... My question is, who exactly supports you here? Who agrees with your immature attitude and your bigotted comments? Seriously. Who?

(And please, try to actually respond to the question rather than just spouting off a load of un-thought-out ranting. Again.)


this is a mapping community, not the things you said:

Sorry? Are you saying that this _is_ a place for racism and homophobia? 'Cos I ain't backing that shit. Yeh, it's primarily a mapping community, but that doesn't mean we have to tolerate anyone just because they make a map. Some things are just wrong. Like bigotted prejudice.


In last years, and all time I have contribute much more then you... I appeal to mapping you appeal discussion... again I ask what people of a mapping channel needs?

Yeh... That's not actually true tho is it. Sleep as released a fair few maps in the past of very high quality. These days he helps maintain the SDL port of fitzquake. So yeh, he has contributed a lot more than you.

And discussion is part of valid contribution. Posting insightful, intelligent comments helps foster a community, promote new ideas and generally makes this a more pleasant place.

You on the other hand merely drama whore, post racist abuse and fail miserably to carry out civilised conversations.

So what does a mapping forum (not channel, you're banned from that remember) need more? I'd say Sleepwalkr thanks.


Yes, your personal opinions are yours. Well done. Doesn't mean we have to tolerate them. Still archaic and distasteful.


And you clearly don't come here to map, partly because you could just map and post here if that were the case, but mostly because...
well... you're stuck in a lifeless marriage and starved of sex, you have 3 children who make your life hell, I'm gonna assume a dead end job and generally miserable about how fucking much you have bollocks'd up your life and how you wanted so much more when you were young. So you drink to feel better and come on here to try and get some fucking attention. It is after all one of the few bits of your life remaining that allows you to feel any kind of validation.

Grow up or fuck off and stay off. Your choice.


And don't hide behind metl, he's far too nice and done far to much for us all to be treated as some kind of excuse for your behaviour.

Repeat; Your choice. 

The thing is, your contributions to the mapping community do not outweigh the things you have said. And if your opinions are yours alone, why did you not keep them to yourself? Sure you can be a racist, but you can't do it here, or at least not without me asking you to leave, again and again.

And yeah, leave it to metlslime, you coward. Take responsibility for your actions and go away. 

did i talk anything lately about racism? I don�t think so...

Why mention it again? I think you guys want me to, to start another flame war to put people agains't me... but you will not have luck...

Yes I have some people that like me, but I will give you the pleasure to say who! 

I'd rather not hear any more from you, to be honest, racism or else. You cannot take anything back or make it good just by being a silent racist. Btw, how about a real answer to what nonentity wrote?

Also, I have a formula to hear cancer, but I will not give you the pleasure to use it, neener, neener! Christ. 

you wish SleepwalkR, but if the fact that I'm here bothers you, then I will stay here forever darling...

untill death us part!!!
