'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: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/blog English changes and evolves over time. Catch up, gramps. :) 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. 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.) you should start a blog just so you can call it "Friblog."
reminds me, I should add a "strikethrough" tag to func. "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. There are some very dark areas, yeah. The rest may be my laptop screen, I'll post some with gamma way up then.
when I put gamma way up, it looks all blocky as is normal in software. It looks brighter in GLquake, but I can't run that at enough fps to normally move around the map. And I don't have GIMP installed right now. Plus, the map IS very dark, the last two shots represent that rather well. There are indeed areas where you can barely see the half dozen fiends that rape you :-) not all at the same time though. That is intentional. It is intentionally "unfair" towards the player. In some areas at least.
Trinca, do you find it too dark when you actually play the map? You do have the option to retreat towards the light, it's your own choice if you fight in the dark... you don't have to. There are light sources nearby, and the corridors are well-lit. I'd prefer to work on the map now instead of screwing around with brightness on pictures :-) later.
