You can watch the transit of Venus across the face of the Sun, linky below,

http://www.jcu.edu.au/events/TransitVenus/

Probably not terribly interesting to most, but if you are that way inclined.......
I remember seeing the transit of Mercury some years back, this should be better. Of course if you are in the right location and have a set of Binoculars, you can just project the image onto a white peice of cardboard or similar, and watch in real time. Or even better a telescope with a solar filter.

Starts roughly 3 hours from the time of this post. 

Alright, who's the punter who has my e-mail address plus several Brazilian addresses in their address book and is infected by a virus? Each e-mail for the past four days is alternately from a Brazilian ISP telling me "my" e-mail cannot be sent because it contains a virus, or it has been from a Brazilian e-mail address sending me a random .pif file. This is getting quite annoying.

The web site above has gone down, Overloaded, Sorry, I'm going back outside to check it out with my biniculars etc........ 

Does this actually exist, and if so, has anyone ever seen/played it? and are we ever likely to see it, or will it just be a thing of myth and legend? 

Take a look at

and

It seems these are nice screenshots of Bal's map, and some related to bal3dm5... (the 2nd link)

Others web sites refers to Bal's bal3dm5, and it seems to be an unreleased map, or a never start one.. like a mythic one you could not reach.. 8p 

My fingers are just about stuffed after clicking through all those screenshots 

i've played bal3dm5. it exists, just not complete and will most likely never be finished. Bal is more into girlfriend and anime :( 

several people have a 90% complete version bal3dm5. But the chances of the other 10% getting done are pretty damn low.

And those screenshots are from Bal's brother's engine (which uses the Q3 level format) 

I've also played bal3dm5 with bal and his brother inside the balcave but that's another story... 

just not complete and will most likely never be finished

But the chances of the other 10% getting done are pretty damn low.

Well, thats what I thought/feared, I guess I could always live in hope. I have been waiting for it since I first heard of it being in the works long, long ago. 

Scampie, you had a fine looking map on Map-Center some time ago, although there was no name, just described as "Dark Metallic Q1SP" what ever happened to that?

Kell Around the same time, also at Map-Center, you had some screens of a Q1SP you were working on, "And Here Shall The Aeons Fray" which as I recall was another fine looking peice of work, what happened to that? 

The map is finished ( though currently retitled ) apart from skill settings and has been playtested by the Muscovite Mappist. It's part of an episode that is...burgeoning with new content? Don't know about release timescale because of other stuffage popping up all over.



[hoot] *chirp* <screek!> 

Is refusing my connection. Is anyone else getting that or am I suddenly a pariah? 

Speak not of the mythical Bal3dm5 mortals, it never existed and never will.

JPLambert, those aren't shots from Quake3 tho, so it proves nothing! 

I apologize "Lord" Bal, if I hurted you, but as I said humbly, it was only the result of a google search, and I agree, nothing proves that these screenies are related to Bal3dm5 mythic map... 

I was just kidding =)
I better run away now, or people are gonna notice I'm here... 

Freeze!
Go releeze!

;D
