Time for a fun activity!! shacktivity
The new release with depth of field is neat. Now I want to have everyone here do something awesome. The idea is that we go through famous historical photos and scenes and re-create them in Garry's Mod, take screenshots and then send them to me. Then, I will create a big gallery of them with a nice presentation and I'll get it posted on the front page. Everyone will behold how much we rule. Or at least how much a select few of us rule.
So for example, I might take this: http://nhs.needham.k12.ma.us/cur/Baker_00/2001_p2/baker_sf_jw_p2/tank-1.jpg and put a couple of those combine vehicles and have Alyx standing in front of them. Or, http://i.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/yip2000/images/apr1.jpg I would take Barney and have him holding that burnt infant baby with a combine soldier pointed at him. There are so many shots and ideas to use. The famous Vietnam TET photo. The self immolation of Quang Duc.
• You have to re-create these scenes as best as you possibly can. I'll be judging each one for final submission. Don't think your work will go to waste if I think it's lacking. 1, My standards aren't that high. 2, You can always provide me or someone else your save files and they can contribute to your scene. 3, It really isn't hard to use this mod and just spend some time and be creative.
• Once you "call" the one you're doing, it's yours. I am going to keep a compiled list of who is doing what, look for that to go up soon.
• No super current events. Only scenes that have withstood the test of time in the media.
• If you say you're going to do one, and you don't deliver, you're going to get a month ban. I know that sounds harsh, but don't flake. When you pick a scene, you are potentially taking that away from someone who would have loved to do that one. So if you don't do it, you flaked and that sucks, so you can go away for a month. You end up wasting my time and someone else's. Obviously if it's a really good reason why you didn't deliver, that is different. And you can give your assigned image to someone else early on if you feel you might not make it. Of course then the burden of doing the work is theirs. And I have to be notified so I can update the list.
• No movies. A famous album cover (which there are very few super famous ones) are ok. If we allow movies it will get out of hand.
• A note about Photoshop: The entire scene must be re-created within half-life 2. If your image was done in black/white, you can use Photoshop to desaturate it, or add some grain. If the colors were super saturated and pronounced, you can add that in Photoshop. Any use of photoshop has to be very very subtle. You cannot add element to the scene with photoshop. It's simply available for post-process treatment.
Here is the current list of who has what:

So how many of you "like" asian girls? And are you also into anime? And what's your ethnicity if you don't mind sharing?
I personally don't "like" or "dislike" asian girls - though the lady I am crazy about is half chinese.
Of any ethnicity's females, I probably find Indian/Pakistani (east indies?) women the most beautiful. I'm white (irish/french descent).

I think I really like EVE Online so far. :( Did this just... slip under the radar or something? Or did it finally get patched to a better state?
I'm finding you don't really have to mine very much at all unless you want to make a metric fuckton of money. At least they reward the tedious parts well enough.
Anyone else here play?

I got killed earlier and Larken was kind enough to donate the remaining 1.8 million isk I needed to get my beautiful Thorax. I bought it and rolled it out making my way to where all my spare equipment was.
Almost home..... I see my overview flash red. A guy with a very high bounty was 400km away in a Battleship. Too far to attack, I warp away quickly and he follows and kills me, I couldn't warp away from him. killed twice in one fucking hour. So fucking pathetic.

Basically we have a brand new pc (never used). I wanted to use this pc, but I want my 2 hard drives from my old machine. I don't want to mess with re-installing things.
Problem: I put the two drives (old drives) into the new machine and they auto detected in the bios just fine. But the machine blue screens when Windows tries to load. I never get out of DOS.
I tried just using one drive (and changed the jumpers to where it was the only drive) and got the same thing.
So the question is...how do I get old drives into a new machine, where they are the only drives and they have Windowz xp already on them?

172mb (1 hour 20 minutes 22 seconds) , converted from WMV to MKV using asf2mkv, so now you can seek through it all you want and such. To play back MKVs, I suggest using VideoLAN Client ( http://www.videolan.org/ )...just grab the zip, unpack it somewhere, and run it. Nothing to install. If you don't like it, delete the folder. It's all good in the hood.
The cute blue screen of death appears at about 1:13:35 or so if that's all you want it for. I'll clip that scene out when i get back from the gym if no one else has done it already

anyone here got a WUXGA 1680x1050 screen on a dell 8600 laptop?
I'm curious if I can h4x0r the ATI drivers to get the screen to do 840x525 in games? - giving me a crisp toasty screen in HL2 for example?
I don't think the little Ati 9600 will have the balls to do 1680x1050 in games :( but I didn't want the 1280x800 as there's not enough screen real -estate.
