The first million years were the worst. And the second million years - those were the worst too. The third million years I didn't like at all. And after that, things went into a bit of a decline. 

You're a load of useless bloody loonies! 

...which is exactly the kind of thing we need to know. I mean, do people want fire than can be fitted nasaly? 

... defines a robot as a mechanical apparatus designed to do the work of a man. The marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation defines a robot as "Your Plastic Pal Who's Fun to Be With."

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who'll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes," with a footnote to the effect that the editors would welcome applications from anyone interested in taking over the post of robotics correspondent.

Curiously enough, an edition of the Encyclopedia Galactica that had the good fortune to fall through a time warp from a thousand years in the future defined the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as "a bunch of mindless jerks who were the first against the wall when the revolution came." 

These were done simply with the F12 key, some right-arrow-key taps and gentle mouse movements

I wish I could have all the shots in the same perspective though... I think I'm going to do shots like these for my maps. 

PQ also seems to have missed my old site, the last update of which was on 13th September 2001 (and said that the site was no more :) 

lol.

Trouble with PQ deleting stuff is that there was a lot of decent information out there. Just 'coz something is no longer updated doesn't mean the information isn't just as valid as it was the day it was written.

Hmm, my account on PQ only serves as a redirector since about a year already, I don't even display their banners or shit. I was expecting my account to be deleted for quite some time now but they didn't even killed it this time... *scratch head* 

We just finished playing blackpopes maps and I think everyone had a good time. Next week we will play Auhsan's maps and then Biff's maps. The map order will be: auhsan1, auhsan2, auhsan3, auhdm1, auhdm2, then impdm1, impdm2, impdm3, filthy, imp1dm5, and imp1dm6.

The carnage starts Sunday 3pm EST. 

Are you going to use Imp1DM6 or Imp1DM6 second edition? 

/me works on his next map like mad to get have his played too 

So, when you tell someone that you're a mapper, how do you describe it to them? Do you use any similes or metaphors? If so, what are they? 

Just use the normal one. 

i say that i design "the 3D environments in which the game takes place." 

What would you recommend based upon reliability/performance?
What would you suggest to avoid?

From:

CPU's, hard-drives, mice/keyboard, graphics cards, motherboards, RAM, CD-ROM and CD-RW drives, monitors?

Yes yes, I'm searching pricewatch. 

It's like architecture plus interior decorating, but with more dead bodies. 

and more crates 

Please give me your thoughts on this list based upon what you know of the reliability, etc (not your personal opinion):

I need to go sleep for work now zZzzz

Thanks 

avoiding ebuyer.com as you get your parts late and with possibility of damage. DABS on the other hand are very good.

Whatever you do, don't skimp on your motherboard, get a decent one. 

When people ask what coding's like, I tell them I weild absolute control over an entire game universe. Every faucet of its so-called "reality" is in my merciful hands.

This, notably, is not true, as I do run up against limitations, and I'm not as good as I'd like to be. But it does sound reeeal goood at a job interview (i.e. "Wow! You're hired!"). ;)

If only I were all-powerful in reality.

Reminds me of another Hitchhiker's Guide quote:
"In summary, anyone capable of obtaining absolute power is the least suited to have it. In summary to the summary, people are a problem".
(or more or less like that)
