Am I the only one who hates waiting for these massive 8mb PNGs to download? I'm using 15mbps, so that's certainly an average net speed, not slow. Peoples' image servers seem to be the gating factor here. Do people just not care about how their work gets passed over? Why wait for the d/l if the OP doesn't care enough to be…
CURRENT UPDATE: Stargate SG1.... the show of my childhood... I remember when I would watch every single show on SCI-FI channel when they used to show it. It was a great show and I think is still my favorite to date. I have decided I want to recreate the Stargate SG1 gate room. Here are some of the pictures I have found…
goddamn I did it AGAIN I friggin' hate 'customise everything' interfaces when bits of them are so easy to break and so hard to put right. one stray click and whoops the viewport for the UV window detaches, lost forever if you close the window. can you just drag it back again? no. does a reset from the window menu fix it?…
[ QUOTE ] I encountered a lot of them on Q3 OSP servers - the kind who'd have quite high kill rates, and would always laugh when they kill someone: "Hahah you got owned!" ... yet when I kill them perfectly legitimately (often in the same manner as they kill others) it's always "Wtf, that's bullshit, you suck!"... Really…
hah missed that one, thanks Adam! But John, shouldn't we be dealt the same hand we play? Doesn't every reaction have an equal and opposite reaction - I mean don't these murderers deserve justice? If they get away with it wouldn't you think that would open the flood gates for more 'people' to act violently by seeing that…
why would you pay the premium on i7? Save yourself a good chunk of that cash and go c2q or c2d. either one will be plenty fast for working on game graphics. You're paying 2-3x the price for a 1.5x performance gain on the cpu. I7 is fast, but I don't think it's worth the price when for what you'll do will see marginal…
Once again, it's fine to let the kid kill cops and run people over, but flash a breast and the lines been crossed. I hate society. My brother works for Best Buy and he sees this crap all the time. These parents are so busy spoiling their kids that they don't question little Johnny when he wants a game. Then when they…
Overview I'm about to start work on a project that involves high poly organic modeling, rigging, texturung and animating some human anatomy. I need to bounce some ideas off of someone with recent experience and get pointers on most efficient practices. This job would involve jumping on a video call and walking me through…
It's a constant unending stream of useless social commentary from Yahoo!... * How to tell if he'll cheat * 6 ways to one up your mate * How to eat a pizza * <Useless nonsense article telling me how to live and what to live for.> Why do people feel justified on writing this fluff, is this journalism now ? Why is this an…
