There is a very interesting book called "ACID: The Secret History off LSD" that talks alot about MK-Ultra and other projects. It mentions a drug that was developed and tested in Vietnam called 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate or "BZ" that was reputed to have 10 times the hallucinogenic strength of LSD with none of the "mind…
its worth checking out the uk cut of the descent rather than the us one btw, it was dumbed down a fair bit for the states because of test audiences reactions ( were they paying bums $20 to come in out of the rain or something? ). I loved Brick (yes! some modern noir at last!) and the Departed (best dialogue in years)too,…
it looks to me that this might already have a normal map applied, but it definitely would be helpful to see some wires. I say that it looks like its already been baked because those look like seams along the outer edges and those circular indents appear to flatten out as you look down the beam. Also i don't believe you…
My dad was cool up until I turned about 13.. then for some reason, whatever issues he's had he has directed every bit of anger and hate he possibly can at me. These days hes arrogant, a drunkard, verbally abusive and all around a general asshole to everyone in our family. We were running a business and once I realised he…

I did about 3 different typical grass card attempts using photo…
I appreciat the kind words guys, as well as the crits..I love um. vig: I'll have to post some texture maps for you.

The walls,…
OK, I've just experienced my biggest issue with WoW...My characters dissapeared! Yep I spent last nite playing from about 7:30pm till 2am to get my dwarf hunter, Ronin, up to about level 9 and had some good equipment, a lot of skills paid for and quests completed to only have him not be there in the morning. I called the…
[ QUOTE ] I am making the point that Scots is a slur that is so commonplace that noone thinks of it as a slur. [/ QUOTE ] Ror: Hmm, I don't know about that. I wonder if I took an opinion poll of all of Scotland, and asked if they were offended by being called a "Scot", what results I'd find. I know for a fact that none of…
