well, it did bring us together 

So you're saying it WAS for the worse then? ;) 

thanks for the clarification man im sure it helped a lot of people 

Metl changed the crate icon! [Gasp] 

The Killer Crate icon is still there. That thing that looks like a block of port cheese is the Cube icon. 

is that the pimp hat icon is still there. 

so I got bored last night and was messing with Garrys mod for HL2 and got this rather nice screenshot of a Gunship and wallpapered it. Funny thing is that PlanetHalflife ran it as their POTD right away (ego boost = check!). So if ya want it... http://www.planethalflife.com/potd/index.asp?id=513652 

Just what do those pulse rifles fire? 

I wand your babies














no, really 

wand, I wand them real bad! 

 

Just kidding, Daz, though the idea of manbabies scares the crap out of me. 

what the hell is it supposed to use, harsh language? 

No, it uses those Sonic, E-Lectronic Ballbreakers ;D 

Anyone know if headshot's maps are still available anywhere?

Can't remember who wanted to look at it now, but that's a scan out of the Australian magazine PC Powerplay from a months ago that mentions a discussion right here on Func. 

Nice one, Tron.

Careful, though. They're reading the board, so you might get sued for intellectual property rights infringement. O_O 

That's the same magazine that I had randomly found speedmap packs on a couple of times, so if they want to start playing that legal game we have ammunition right back at them. :) 

That's cool. Somebody there must have a soft spot for Quake. :) 

Quake r4wks. 

That's a cool little article. Pretty accurate and rather kind to the little Quake community. Makes us sound like quite measured reasonable people. Which we are not. Sloppy journaliism, I say! ;) 

Far from being sloppy, I thought it was the most electrifying and important piece of journalism since the Pentagon Papers. 

the bit about some kind of fued between coders and mappers brought a tear to my eye (no, it didn't, but it touched me (and not in a molestation kind of way)).

We will be looking for 3D work and we love to see low-poly 3D too! 2D rocks and can be faster to make, but don’t forget about all of the prizes that you can win for your 3D environments and characters, AND in all 3 of our universes – Diablo, StarCraft, and Warcraft!

Nice prizes... And you can also choose the cash. I am sure there is something mean the copyright (like you transfer it to Blizzard by submitting or something) but I think some of you might have the power to compete in this contest. /me looks envious at Bal ;)
