I had a map idea involving a floating castle against a nebula filled backdrop, with some shub-nigguraths (Perhaps there were more than the one you killed :). I made this skybox a while ago from a hubble space telescope image, and I think it looks really good against shub and some quoth textures.

Good to see the Quake spirit is still alive in you. With any luck you can get ToeTag working for you and give us some more maps!

Are you sure you are mapping for the right game? That screams HALFLIFE so loud.
That ceiling texture is kinda ugly, looks so very comic-like.

that looks awesome; very xen-like. i think a xen themed space floater would work well in the context of quake.. *ponders*
Huh

That looks great - but yeah, half life. Even so It'd be nice to see more of the same. It's a shame Q1 doesn't support skybox rotation like Q2.

I like the look of it! The texture you have used for the frames of the beds looks very high quality, but I do think the ceiling could be better. TBH I like it! :D
Excessus Is Cool.

...thanx cobber, I'm immediately inspired.
Ok, It Has To Be Said
'blog' is just about the most horrible word (or non-word, as the case may be) in existence. Second only to 'brunch'.

web log = blog. It's a contraction. It's fine.
As for it being a non-word:

English changes and evolves over time. Catch up, gramps. :)

What People Mix Up

is a blog and a blogpost.
They say "I wrote a blog about it". That means he/she posted weekly, perhaps even daily for years about the subject.
More likely they mean that "I wrote a post on it" or "I wrote a blogpost about it".
More complaints later.

Thanks Willem...
I get it, I just hate it. Not the definition of the word, the word itself. It's like brunch. I mean fuck off, you know?
No personal offense intended to anyone who maintains, err, a column or diary of their thoughts or ramblings on the web, of course.
Now leave me alone to wallow in my irrational anger!

There are a variety of those too and maybe the terms will be differentiated better in the future. Some are almost like publishing scientific articles with quite elaborate content that is released only intermittently. And some are just talking almost hourly on how the "author" feels and what he/she is doing.
Hell, even conventional paper publishing differentiates the totally different terms, "magazines" and "newspapers".. And there are "books" and "short stories" etc.
But the word. Do you think you have some only right to that combinatory style, mister Friday Nibbles?
(This is in the wrong thread, I cease talking about it now.)
Uh Huh.

I had a dream a few nights ago where Shambler had a blog. About anime.
Yes...

you should start a blog just so you can call it "Friblog."
reminds me, I should add a "strikethrough" tag to func.

This is a winning strategy. I fully support and endorse this suggestion.
Blag
#4376 posted by gb on 2008/02/12 17:59:41
"Blagen" is (Northern) German slang for small children :-) If you want to talk negatively about someone, you say "ugh, they brought their blagen" usually followed by "bleh, those people multiply like rabbits" especially when relating to Ausl�nder. It's not the most kids-friendly society I guess. :-/
I like kids though.
Oh Please
