I bought a G4 15" widescreen Powerbook couple days ago... mmmm.

Too bad the game selection for Macs is $$$ and not nearly as broad, but that's not what I got the PB for anyway.. though Links Championship Edition runs just fine. 

in-sufficient response time LCD panels are great for games. its free motion-blur effect 

596 posts since I last checked in here. 

you meant *sufficient* response time LCD panels are great for games right? Is 16ms sufficient? not sure if I understand it correctly but from what I read even the newest panels with a 16ms response rate will cap your frame rate at 62.5 FPS which is pretty limiting. 

i read it as sarcasm, many hardcore gamers commonly dont use lcd screens because of this delay 

...about some game demos. 2 of which you won't have heard of, 1 of which you will. More rambling sometime following...

I have Maya (the version which comes from ut2003 disk) is it possible to make Q3a maps or maps for games using this? 

where am I able to obtain some 3D Studio Max 5 video tutorials, I think I've had the link before hmmmmm

be there! 

No, I don't think you can use the MayaPLE that comes with UT2003 for any games other than UT2003.

Vid Tutorials, you'll find heaps of good stuff there, just look around

PN03:

a) is great.
b) looks like a geomcomp entry.

yeah, it's pretty good. it's one of those games that when you play it, you can't help but feel it could have been one hell of a game with some minor changes. as it is, it's a decent shooter with alot of untapped potential. here's hoping for a bigger budget on pn04. 

I thought it was:

a) looks great
b) plays blah

but I haven't played it so whatever 

...on a GC demo stand at a store. I only played for only about a minute though, and the second robot I met killed me (I didn't bother to look a the instruction splash screen so I didn't know how to crouch). Still I'd like to try a lot of it though, because it looked absolutely gorgeous.
And there was a rolling demo playing of it too, and holy crap does that combat look sexy! I know it's nothing fancy how the player performs those moves (Street Fighter-esque down, downright, right, A etc etc), but damn it looks sexcellent when the girl flips arund, does cartwheels, piruettes and other werido things while firing barrages of laser death towards evil white mechas...
Might be another reason for me to ge a GC. 

You can use .ase models in q3 maps (need later q3map2 ofcourse).
You can use some converter (like Deep Exploration) to convert to ASE from other 3d editors propitiatory formats.

MY LIFE IS NOW AN EMPTY SHELL. 

excuse the shit out of me, but...isn't that basically Coriolis Storm in that screenshot? I mean, I know there are some basic elements of sci-fi design and all, but that goes beyond 'passing resemblance' for me.
Not to mention the JC ripoff a second time.
I cannot think of a suitable smiley to express my state of mind, so I'll have to make do with this string of semi-random symbols -
(&^^%-)= 

design like that (albeit in different textures and themes) has been around at least since the q2 days. However, given the particular theme and textures in that screenie, I can see where you're coming from. 

that's what I meant about basic elements of scifi design - the colony in Aliens ( '85-'86 ) has a section like that used for outside establishing shots of the operations center. Of course, in Aliens it's all bluish gray.
It's just the number of similarities to Coriolis; it was the first thing that struck me. ( and the other thing that struck was...well, the other Thing that struck me :P )
cf. screenie -

Not bad. Hope they fix the Lost Souls to more closely resemble that Revenant-thing's head. 

good but not great, compared with HL2. And i can see the CS influence there, despite the standard scifi elements etc. Whoever was responsible for that area/theme was quite likely inspired by coriolis storm, it is popular enough that someone at id has seen it, im sure.
