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 Just 'coz something is no longer updated doesn't mean the information isn't just as valid as it was the day it was written.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) 

Every faucet? 

...but the kitchen sink 

Can't wait for biff's and Aushan's maps =) Thanks for hosting! 

Are you sure the powersupply in the case is going to take care of you? I don't know how that "AMD recommended up to 1.2 GHz CPU" compares to the 2.4ghz pentium, but it might not be enough. 

*blush* 

A 2ghz athlon is supposedly a 2ghz compare to a pentium 4 although it actually runs at roughly 1600ghz. 

Says who? AMD? 

That's what AMD reckon.

Having never had a p4 before I wouldn't know.

Mine is a 2ghz Athlon XP which equals AMD Palomino @ 1.63GHz. 

Is it just me, or is it really really cool to get fake virus warnings in your e-mail from people you don't even know? 

got the same shit 2 days ago, just delete it and forget
