Func_Msgboard: Inspiration & Reference

Posted by metlslime on 2003/02/17 08:18:34

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.

Chernobyl

Was the worst commodity that communism has ever created.

Communism has made me drnruk.

I Don't Know

#207 posted by HeadThump on 2005/02/18 15:09:38

the millions killed (and largely ignored) in the Gulag Archipelago
www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060007761

strikes me as somewhat worse. For a bit of evil history and American complicity, I would suggest looking up Operation Keelhaul. Stalin would have never got away with it if it wasnt for his supporters in the West.

Da Fek?

Compassion is the stupidest this thing ever. Why bring it up?

For example: compare Jangaweed genocide with the Indian ocean tsunami. One is ignored almost entirely while the other gets more support than is useful. Completely stupid.

Oi! You Two! Break It Up Will Ya!

This thread has been nothing but awesome so far. Don't mess it up with starting a discussion!

If Chernobyl Can Be Considered A Commodity

#210 posted by HeadThump on 2005/02/18 15:38:07

then a mile high pile of human skulls can be considered one as well.

By saying 'worse', you brought in to the discussion a scope including a moral dimension. I am saying Gulags are worse than Chernobyl as a human event. By any measure other than a geographic one that should be self evidently true.

I'm not even sure what compassion has to do with it.

Tsunami is an apple, Genocide is an orange. The later is preventable, the former is not.

Okay CZG

I didnt even post a reference that time to keep it somewhat in line. I'm sorry.

learn your column varieties!! This is just good knowledge to have.

This site however is pretty good at giving you a general idea of a time periods architecture.
Some better than others.

we can get people to stop referring to eras as various as the Byzantine, Romanesque, Renaissance, and the Boroque under the all encompassing lable Gothic.

Spent a couple days in the south of France, and took some random photos of architecture and stuff, maybe it'll inspire some of you, who knows...
