  1. I'd say that booze and Skyrim are a poor mix, but, without booze, I'd never have started an Argonian named "Climbs-Tall-Rocks." And I now regard him as the absolute perfect character for a Bethesda RPG. He doesn't care about these silly "quests" apart from "see what's on top of that mountain," and if those silly Nords want to call him funny names because he can talk to dragons (clearly, they've never seen an Argonian and a dragon together before), he'll play along just long enough that they let him climb the tallest rocks. What could be better??! Getting a horse that can climb tall rocks?
  2. One week and the memes are already up, damn the internet works fast.
  3. You are a true friend then.
  4. The thing about characters is that you only like them in small dosages in RL, at some point you become fed up with their bull**** and just want them to go away. Also, Howard Hughes was an eccentric crazy artist, Phil Fish is just a drama queen.
  5. Luckily for me, I base my hate on science. So you're a scientist and that's why you don't like homos?
  6. Be better if they just let us use Unity itself.
  7. The hubris of men ultimately corrupts every form of though, religion isn't exempt.
  8. He's at his best when he's vulnerable. Like when Magneto took out his adamantium and then, for a little while before it went nutso, even his healing was reduced. That's what's good in this movie is the vulnerability. Even the part I mention in the spoiler is done well in that respect. Something I hadn't hought of... does his healing factor keep his blood cells from degradig, or is adamantium porous? Because how does his body make new blood cells with his bones coated? Comic book nerds of all times have asked this question, I just blame the editors for letting this **** slide.
  9. In this particular case I'm going to side with the customer, he had a legitimate criticism and Gaider's response was basically telling him that he is better than him. Unless i'm missing something important from the context.
  10. Those guys are seriously overpowered, wish they would make ground troops a little more useful. Also, a pox on those Mongolians... and the Desert bandits!
  11. It's tamer than the time he survived a nuclear blast. I seriously dislike the character and the amount of attention it gets.
  12. I Have a question for you guys but there will be prologue I've dabbled in 3D modelling since I got Imagine 2.0 for the Amiga on a coverdisk when I was a kid, lately I've tried Modo and found it to be as comfortable as a pair of old shoes (including the bugs and holes...on Windows at least) but whenever I try one of the big industry standard packages I feel like I'm eating glass. More than likely I'll never be a professional 3D modeller but if I wanted to try, which program should I specialise in? Here's the breakdown: Autodesk programs require a license, so unless you can download a student version (or you are an unscrupulous pirate) they may not be for you. Max is mostly used within the Game industry for production, is a little hard to get into but once you know the program it becomes a powerful tool for modeling. Just know there is a bit of a learning curve and depending how hard you go at it you will get good results. I'm particularly fond of it for hard surface modelling since you can do pinpoint precision work, although 3ds Max Design is built specifically for that kind of thing (mostly for architecture and industrial design) Maya is favored by animation and the more "artistic" of 3d modellers who are not that squeamish about topology. It's good points are that its easy to code for (which is a blessing since Maya without plugins is horrible, IMCO) and the Mental Ray renderer works like a charm with it. It has an assortment of powerful tools for animation (AutoCad) so if that's your thing go for it. Mudbox was made by ex members from Pixologic (the guys that made Zbrush) its a digital sculpting and texturing program. I use it mostly because of its texturing capabilities, it doesn't do uv mapping but its strength lies in the use of projection and stencils to apply HD textures without having to make them seamless. Zbrush its the ****, the bee's knees, I will marry this program and bear its children. This is the air you must breathe if you want to be a creature/character modeller, it does everything but walk and water (plus its not so good for hard surface modelling) Its the most powerful digital sculpting program on the market. Its a program for artists, so if you know how to sculpt in RL you will have an easy transition. But if you learn how to sculpt in Zbrush you will loathe RL sculpting, I do. Blender is like the bastard child of Max and Mudbox or a Frankenstein like creature made of parts from other programs that doesn't exactly do anything remarkably well. On the flipside, its free and thanks to it handling Nif. files there is a lot of help online due to the Bethesda modding communities. Sculptris is Zbrush-lite, its made by the same guys and offered free. Sort of like a welcome package for the artist/sculptor who wants to get into digital art. If you planning to use any of the digital sculpting programs you may also want to get yourself a digital pen and tablet, there are probably some used ones reasonably priced right now. My recommendation would be a Wacom Bamboo since you're a hobbyist but you really can't go wrong with Wacom. Aside from that if you need any help deciding you can PM me, glad to hear that you're interested in getting into 3d modeling
  13. If its Max I feel your pain, if its Maya then you on your own sucka.
  14. I thought one of the definitions of ignoring something was, in essence, that you're running away from a problem. Someone calls you a name, and you don't respond to them. That's ignoring. Someone calls you a name, and you leave because of it. That's running away. What do you call when someone calls you a name and you leave so they don't call you more names?
  15. Lord of Hangovers would be more accurate
  16. I think I just resign myself to the fact that my target audience its going to be the lowest common denominator (that fat kid with asperberg drinking fountains of mountain dew) and I shouldn't expect anything intelligent from them. But maybe I'm just getting a leg up in my jadedness.
  17. New Avatar? Looking good!
  18. Oh woe is me I'm so beautiful, Oh woe is me I'm smart but trapped on a world full of idiots, Oh woe is me I get whatever partner I want but I can't find a significant other. If people would stop thinking that the grass is greener on the other side and start enjoying their plot of land for what it is, maybe they'll be a little happier. Or at the very least complain less.
  19. Not a movie but Futurama Final Season it's coming along quite nicely.
  20. So the new LoF alt makes math puzzle threads? What does the circumference of the Earth have to do with the plight of the proletariat?
  21. That's a very interesting idea, though I wonder how best to communicate to the player which dialogue has been affected by their alignment.
