Thanks for the clarification - it was something I read on a blog, I think.

Generally agree as well. I'm a parent and there's some games I wouldn't want my daughter playing, so giving me the tools to know what the general content is at a glance is something I completely agree with.

They just tend to go overboard in some countries. The ones that spring to mind are Germany and Australia.

There's China as well, but that's more of a complete media lockdown. 
 
The German censorship is driven by different motives than the Chinese one, I think. It's also not a blanket style censorship.

Maybe if more of a games industry existed in Germany, things would change. As it is, video games have no lobby and thus currently are lowest in the food chain, so everything bad is pinned on them. That's how it works in a nutshell. 
Politics 
Is pretty base for the most part, and forms of entertainment not understood by the main voting block (over 40's) make an easy target.

Got bored, learned brainfuck. 
Why Photoshop Is Better Than GIMP: 
Oh Yes, If Only GIMP Would Have Such Functionality!!! 
Oh Ricky, if you were a 16 year old girl that would have been a cute thing to say. 
In Other News 
lots of money is better than no money! 
 
Gimp is _fundamentally_ different from PS; it is open source software and doesn't cost a thing. It only requires users to code their shit themselves. Is that asking too much? ;-)

Apples and oranges.

Heh - I know what you mean. Sometimes I wish I was a sixteen year old girl. And nobody would be able to afford me either.

This is for you Spirit:

sorry, i guess you just did not know that there was a gimp plugin to do this since 2005. http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/thesis

I used it to remove those brushes: http://i.imgur.com/Buprs.jpg (seriously! great huh?)

better example: http://i.imgur.com/4RyXM.jpg


But yeah, only money and patents make sure there is an incentive for progress and there definitely was not a GIMP plugin to do this 5 years ago. 
Lol Patents 
 
 
OH SHIT WHERE DID HE GO?? 
Necros 
If you are talking about the owl, I think I lost him when I moved a load of brushes :( 
 
If your talking about negke, he posted on the RMQ trac about 5 days ago. 
 
i'm talking about that kid on the bike! fucker just disappeared. he was looking on his right... maybe there was a bear there or something. 
You Can Sort Of See Two Bits Of Ground Which Look The Same 
one at the edge of the road where the boy was, and one a little to the left of there, under the branch.

Same in the photoshop vid, you could see some of the bricks were the same, or very similar. 
Dead Island 
Is great, the open world adds a lot to the game play. Coop is nice too. 
Shoutcraft Invitational Day 2

SC2 tourney day 2, starting any time now and going all day :) 
Cool Stuff Happened Today 
Can't say anything though, it's a s00kr3t :D 
 
Yeah, it's awesome to be Quake mapping right now. 
 
I miss the time when I used my head for mapping :\ I'm not a awesome mapper but I did fun little maps :\

The one that I love the most to work, most of the people didn't like it :p

I will have to find some time to make anything :\ 
 
I guess what the RickyT23 and gb are babbling about is the new "BSP2" format http://mhquake.blogspot.com/2011/09/updates-for-13th-september-2011.html

Not sure what is supposed to be secret about it (it was nothing surprising if you were following MH's posts) nor why they prefer to talk about in this holier-than-thou manner. 
PS 
Wait until you see the new Quaddicted omg it is the best Quake website ever! 
I Just Didnt Want To Blab About It 
Because I didn't make it, but I got excited because now I can make maps even bigger than before, because all the hard limits have been doubled. I nearly came in my pants.

PS - I'm looking forwards to the new Quaddicted, I probably check that page every couple of days or so. 
Ouch
