well more specifically, it was political spam. I deleted it for the same reason I'd delete commerical spam -- it's an attempt to use the board for broadcasting, rather than conversation.
Actually, I couldn't get the last speed map I made to compile, but AquiRe has done so with out any trouble.
Actually, I have Zwiffle's address, so we could have got him a hooker, except we're all stingy bastards who hoard the hookers for ourselves.
Just don't let Zwiffle know that. lol, it reminds me of a conversation I had with a Vietnamese pimp in a bar some time ago. He told me he could get me anything, and I said, "How 'bout an Amerasian with naturally red hair." He shook his head and told me I was crazy.
Yu crazee gee-ay! Nou sucha ting - yu hea' gee-ay? No! Such-a! Thing - red hed! Crazee yankie gee-ay. VeeSee gonna geet yu goud, crazee gee-ay. Yu dee - mash payn.
I believe we may now have a purely ethical purpose for cloning. To build the perfect woman! (To sell on the streets for fun and profit, of course).
I'd like to see a poster. On the left is a picture of an adult penis, cut. On the right I'd like to see a bloody flap of skin. The caption should read "Separated at birth?"
Just an excuse to look at a penis I suppose. ...thank you for your concern. I'm alive :)
Your exceptional artwork arrived safely and I'm about to proposition you for more... but I think I'll do that in private. Sparth joined ID. This is news to me!!
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=53303 what the fuck is going on here! o.0
When you find out, please be sure to let the rest of us know. Maybe it will help me make sense of my roommate who pours out the milk from her cereal. P.S. the topic is a summarization of my comments from work today. P.P.S. I forgot what this post post script was supposed to say. P.P.P.S. e/n generation unite! Woaw !! This screenies would take place in Half Life 3 screenies preview!! They are very nice and impressive
Agree entirely, that is perfect concept art for HL3. So....are Id making HL3 next then, lol.
Seriously nice one Sparth and GG getting hired. Sparth rocks so much, I knew he had had an interview at ID a few months ago, but didn't think he had accepted in the end.
I have to pester him into sneaking in a Nunukian style space map into whatever ID's next game is, he hasn't mapped in too long. =D That nunuk's hiring at id should be a news post here for a number of reasons.
1) The timing of Adrian's lawsuit 2) The fact that nunuk/sparth has been known to frequent these parts/#terrafusion, and now he works for id...it's like, the ultimate dream 3) The fact that the hiring of such an extremely top-notch artist like sparth means that id is takking a radically different turn in terms of art on their next project. sparth's style, in my opinion, is very fantasy/ethereal, and much more conducive to adventure games and "far out" settings than Adrian's typically war-ish evil artistic feel. So this news definitely has implications all over the place, and we need a thread to discuss them in!

Go create it ;) was Adrian carmack Fired...
Bluesnews says the reason was that he had 41% of the shares and wanted to sell id to activision. They other owners fired him so the company wouldn't be sold and they could buy the shares cheaper from him directly. Greed makes people do all kind of stupid things. I've always loved his art. 2) The fact that nunuk/sparth has been known to frequent these parts/#terrafusion, and now he works for id...it's like, the ultimate dream
<brainfart> Oh, I don't know about that. Not anymore. I think there are several companies ranking higher than id on the omgloligotanindustryjoblolkeke-scale. Valve. Epic. For one thing they have better tech. And their projects seem more innovative. </brainfart> 3) The fact that the hiring of such an extremely top-notch artist like sparth means that id is takking a radically different turn in terms of art on their next project. sparth's style, in my opinion, is very fantasy/ethereal, and much more conducive to adventure games and "far out" settings than Adrian's typically war-ish evil artistic feel. A good artist can apply her expertise to many different genres, ideally. She'd better, or she's just a one trick pony. Of course, that's fine for some people, maybe the contract is just for one project. It'll look good on the resume either way. Anyway, this doesn't really tell us all that much about id's upcoming projects. bambuz; There're legal thingamabobs flying all over and claims to this and that. For one thing, I'm guessing Blues was not privy to any special information. Adrian Carmack claims he was effectively forced to resign, after he refused to sell his stock to the other owners following the activision bid. Having left id he is supposed to do so anyway, but his team of power-tie wearing walking excrement argues he shouldn't have to. Plus, he says he got shafted on some profit-sharing thing. That's what he says. That's not necessarily what happened. Also, who cares?, id hasn't done anything remotely exciting in many years -- except for releasing old sources. Chances are Adrian Carmack leaving is good for the consumers. What with id hiring new artists, if for nothing else. id hired anyone. Thought they were just the regular group of guys since they started (except for Romero and Petersen after awhile).
Conceptart.org is full of elitists. But I remember Sparth, and I saw that thread - some good work... but it leaves me bitter. id always hire at the start of projects. kenneth scott got a lot of press for q3, and they hired a bunch of new guys for Doom3 (I remember one new level designer worked on kiss: pyscho circus)
id: "hey can we get that guy from KISS?"
id: "gene simmons?" id: "no psycho circus, the game" id: "y'serious?"
