Does Preen work?
I just planted several plants and was wondering if I could put Preen down to keep the weeds out and then put mulch(for added moisture) and then preen on top of that? I hate using the plastic stuff, it seems like it never works.
Better to use wet newspaper, about 4 or 5 sheets thick, and mulch on top of that. It will keep any plants from growing through, and help the soil at the same time. Make sure to overlap the newspaper by a couple inches. You could even go thicker, I know some people who use 8 or 9 pages.
Guess I'm a Plastic nut but even when transplanting thru plastic mulch it seems that the gerninating weed seeds fill in every square inch of exposed area. Antigermination products like Preen help eliminate hours of tedious weeding that everyone wants to avoid.
The placement of Preen or any herbicide over a non-porous mulch such as newspaper or plastic, where it can be washed by rain or irrigation, is a bad practice. The chemical has potential to concentrate to many times the recommended rate in runoff areas. Always apply under the mulch material or spot apply to only the exposed areas.
If you are using hay, straw or other porous plant residue for mulch all bets on effectiveness of the preen are off because the active chemical may be absorbed by the residue before it reaches the area where weed seeds are germinating. Chances are that weeds would not be a problem in this situation anyhow if residue mulch is adequately thick.
I hate to weed and have used Preen for years with great success. I start out every new bed after planting with a good sprinkle on the bare soil. I make sure it is as weed free as I can make it. This takes time, you must get rid of even the smallest weeds. I usually do a bed then wait a day or two checking on it and pulling up any little weeds that poke through.Then I mulch over the Preen and like magic,no weeding! If you haven't gotten up every weed and a few poke through it is still almost nothing to pull. Once when I was planting new beds on either side of a walkway, I forgot to sprinkle the Preen on the first side, so only the second side got "Preened" in the usual method. the first side was already mulched so I sprinkled the Preen over top of the mulch and hoped for the best. I had one side of a walkway I never had to weed and the other I had to visit daily , there was no comparision. I finally grew tired of the weedy side and raked up all the mulch, re-weeded and applied the Preen under the mulch. It was definitely worth the extra work. Needless to say I'll never forget again! DO NOT use the Preen in a newly planted bed if you are planting from seed. Your seeds will not germinate. Wait til after you have seedlings. Good luck
Preen works well at stopping weeds from seed, it doesn't do anything for weeds that are there. It should not be put under mulch etc as it reduces the effectivness. Preen is a brand name and can be purchased for less as a generic at many garden centers. It does not prevent weed seed from sprouting it actually prevents them from emerging. It must be close to the surface as it forms a barrier that kills the sprout as it comes up through the layer of Preen, it doesn't have to contact the seeds etc. Read the package as it can be used with many seeds, the original use was as a farm pre- emergent herbicide (Treflan)
It is possible putting it under mulch reduces it's effectiveness, I can only speak to my personal experience and I ALWAYS put mulch over it and although I can't say I never have weeds, I don't weed much at all, just an occasional pull here or there. I can say that last year I put down Preen in a flower bed as usual, but didn't buy mulch until a couple of months later and that bed with Preen and no mulch was full of weeds and a real pain , I had to do a lot of weeding before I put mulch down. That's my experience.

Gallery: Bento: A Solar Powered Way to Compartmentalize Your Smart Devi...
As our number of personal smart devices grows, it seems we've begun to carry around a personal home office everywhere we go – laptop, cell phone, iPod - all jangling around in our bags. Hoping to streamline this mish mash of electronics, designer René Lee has designed a product which just won the Fujitsu Design Award – the solar-powered Bento system. Just like the Japanese lunchbox by the same name, the Bento unifies and compartmentalizes all of your gadgets from your laptop to your tablet and smartphone.
Similar in size to a Macbook Pro, the Bento networks all the devices together, with a 15" OLED screen laptop at its base. The 11 inch iPad like tablet and 4 inch phone fit in shallow compartments, for charging and storing. When docked, they work with the entire system, but when charged, they can be used wirelessly or independently. A hard drive also joins the other devices. The three devices together can also be networked and function as a multiple screen system, meaning each could be used for different purposes at once. The three devices also easily share data, transferring one file to the next just by networking.
In terms of sustainability, Lee has the system running on a solar powered lithium-ion battery that charges the whole thing. Furthermore, and unlike a Mac, the Bento can be upgraded without buying an entirely new device. Lee's Bento is a practical solution to our ever increasing dependent on personal smart devices, with respect to energy and economic efficiency.

We booked one night away from being busy parents on our honeymoon and
had an amazing time at La Flora. A beautiful hotel with beautiful staff.
A lovely lady could not wait to take us to our room and show us the
honeymoon cake, decorations and special things they had arranged for us.
The free mini bar is a great idea and there is a lot of attention to
detail. The restaurant was lovely and the food was good, amazing spot to
watch the sun set over the water. Loved the location so close to Bangala

It was very close to the beach, restaurants and all the shops. The room was nice and big with a good bathroom. There was free use of the computer. It is at the end of a street with many facilities including pharmacies, restaurants, clothes shops, massage places etc. - Anonymous
The hotel was rather new and the facilities were among the best I've ever had - definitely on par with other big names out there, at only a quarter of their price. Staff were very attentive, and the restaurant was top quality. Excellent location too, with the beach and the biggest shopping centre within walking distance. - Anonymous
The staff is very friendly, patient and helpful. The hotel's
location is superb - it is in the middle of all the happenings, yet it
has its own secluded compounds and is quiet in the midst of all the

a short distance to the Bangla Road or Patong Beach, and retreat to the
serenity of the hotel within minutes. The service of the hotel tour
operators in the hotel is superb. Everything is just perfect! - Anonymous
The hotel is in a great location - not far from beach and very close to crazy Bangla road! If you are after a quiet place to stay, this might not be for you. I was traveling on my own and enjoyed seeing all the craziness and then only having short walk back to hotel. The pool is great, and the room was lovely and view from rooftop are beautiful. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat! - Anonymous
We stayed here for just a night so we can't really comment much on the facilities - we were enroute to Phi Phi Island, but we absolutely loved the stay. Patong Beach is a 5 min walk. Bangla Street is right outside and the nightlife is almost at your doorstep but don't worry, Novotel is very quiet; you'll sleep like a baby.

Well Rounded Game
This game looks really good and responds very quickly and smoothly to controls. It took me 8+ hours to beat and I can typically beat these kind of game quickly. All around a good and somewhat challenging game. Every month or so I replay all the levels just because I love this game.
The only gripe I have is that new levels have not been added few several months. I would love to see new levels added to create additional challenges even though I know how difficult it can be to create new material.
Better than I expected
A friend asked me to download this and help her figure out how to play. It sounded like a silly game and I honestly thought I would delete it after explaining it to her. I gotta admit. It's really addictive and challenging! My only complaint is that it is a bit confusing as to how to play and control him for the first couple of levels. Once you understand how it works though, that's when it gets fun. Now I'm challenging my friend to see who can get the most toilet paper on each level. lol I am suggesting this game to my friends.
Don't complain
You guys shouldn't really complain at least they start you off with like a hundred lives and if you manage to lose them all you don't have to buy more to play just wait 30 minutes or gain more lives by playing levels

I've been playing music since I was 14 years old. I studied classical guitar at State University in Buffalo, NY. and also studied guitar at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. I love just about every style of music. I mostly play Celtic, Bluegrass, American traditional, jazz, and classical. I also love to improvise. My goal is to get my students results so they feel that they are really making progress. I do this by incorporating practice exercises, ear training and some music theory. Music theory and reading music can be intimidating for beginning students. So I like to get you playing first and add theory a little at a time so you can better understand it through experience and it makes learning more fun. *** Studio Equipment *** The studio has a piano, acoustic ...

Over those years I've developed a wealth of knowledge and experience that I'm very excited to share with my students. I want you to tell me what your musical dreams are and we will develop a plan to reach them and I will be honored to guide you there. *** Lesson Details *** I see music lessons as a partnership between the instructor and the student.

Did you ever consider giving them some fucking money for that service?
Did they ever consider charging for it?
It's an actual file that facilitates you connecting to their *own* tracker. And without that tracker you wouldn't be able to download the file via bittorrent.
They aren't just telling people about files that are available, they are colluding in the distribution of them. They are naively pretending they are ignorant of the types of files they are facilitating the downloading of yet a simple search of they own site tells you *exactly* what files are being shared. How are they supposed to know what "Wolverine-Workprint.avi" is, they only have the name.... well when thousands of people download a torrent for it under your movies category, I'd say it was clear what it was.
Some indie developers aren't fussed but others seem to believe they have a god given right for their product to be immune from piracy
Well they aren't ever going to be immune from it, but they certainly don't deserve to be pirated which you allude to with your comments on the price and the quality.
If it's good enough to seek out a pirate copy, then it's good enough to buy. $28 is NOT a lot to pay for something, I doubt anyone is out there aspiring to be able to one day afford $28 apart from people who think they have a sense of entitlement to own everything they want, despite not owning the conviction to go out spend honest money on it.
He deserves poor sales if he has wrongly priced the product but that price is not making pirates out of otherwise decent people who *really want* to pay/play.

IPEVO, Inc., a designer and maker of products for emerging Internet-driven behaviors, has released Tubular Wireless Speakers for Apple's iPad as well as the latest generation of the iPhone. Tubular is a portable pair of three-watt speakers that provides iPad and iPhone users with improved two-way stereo sound, as compared to each device's built-in mono speaker. Tubular utilizes Bluetooth technology, such that the speakers can communicate wirelessly with any Bluetooth audio device at distances of up to 32 feet (10 meters).
The wireless capability offered by Bluetooth presents an alternative to conventional dock-style speaker systems, in which devices must be physically connected ("docked") to the speaker unit to function. This limitation may be undesirable with respect to existing behaviors of iPad and iPhone users, who often need or prefer to hold the unit while they listen. When users choose Tubular Wireless Speakers to improve the audio experience of these advanced devices, they are afforded a degree of flexibility they would not enjoy with dock-style systems.
"Tubular Wireless Speakers offer iPad and iPhone users a clear advantage over bulky, non-portable dock station speakers," remarked Royce Hong, CEO and big head of design of IPEVO. "Enhanced stereo sound should not have to come at the cost of portability and functionality. From navigating music tracks to enjoying a host of popular apps such as Guitar Hero, users want to keep their devices in hand. And Tubular gives them the freedom to do just that."
A distinctive interlocking design gives Tubular its name. Left and right speakers lock together in a tube shape, and a simple twist separates them. Speakers can then be locked back together to form a lightweight and compact single unit for storage or travel. The weight of the speaker tube is 9.5 ounces (270 grams), and the unit features dimensions of 2.5 x 5.5 x 2.9 inches (75 x 140 x 75 mms).
Tubular offers up to 8 hours of playback time courtesy of a rechargeable lithium ion battery, and up to 100 hours of standby time per single charge. Tubular can be plugged into any standard USB port, and a full charge is accomplished in approximately 2 hours.
IPEVO's Tubular Wireless Speakers for the iPad and iPhone, available in black or white, are available exclusively through the company's online store at http://www.ipevo.com at a price of $79.
The current fridge interface contains many flaws that could be improved and expanded. For example you can't see everything in your fridge at a glance. You thought you'd bought hot sauce, but you don't see it anywhere. Or imagine it's dark, it's the middle ofthe night, you turn to your fridge and when staring into the light you can't remember when you bought something. When exactly did you put those leftover fish-sticks in there? How old is that Bircher-muesli? What's up with that asparagus?

You can play it here !!!
After the End of the World as Lloyd Blankfein wanted it, the Earth population is 99.99% zombies and 0.01% MARTIAL ARTISTS. Oh.
You are out on a journey to find your HOT JAPANESE MARTIAL ARTIST GIRLFRIEND.
Well done to all participants, I can't wait to play your entries !
– jujule
I am too tired a way behind schedule. The game works but there is no sound, no intro, etc… I'll finish tomorrow end enter the as a Jam entry.
– jujule
Hi to all !
It's all in the title. My game will be a rythm / fighting game. Title : Under the Skin of a Martial Artist!!!
Tools : Unity, my very own TrueColor CP437 framework and probably SFXR for sound.
Yesterday I wrote a post saying I was giving up. But I woke up this morning with renewed motivation and worked hard to finish something. I'll admit it is not much, just a simple racer but it is better than failing to submit something a second time in a row.
Well, here it is : Forever 10s
Congratulations to all participants !
– jujule
I give up. There is no way I can finish within the time that is left. I guess I was both too ambitious and not competent enough. I wanted too do a post-apocalyptic racer in which minigames would pop-up every 10 seconds but I could barely manage a playable racer even though I had plenty of time this week-end. I'm especially disappointed since this is my second LudumDare in a row for which I couldn't deliver.
Enough with self pity. Here is a screen shot and short demos of the racer.
Godd news : from tomorrow I'll be enjoying trying out other contestants games !
– jujule
I really like the theme but I'm completely out of ideas. I always wanted to do a racing game so I decided to make a basic skeleton and find a 10s twist during the night. But I'm late, as usual.
Here is a screen shot of what I have so far :
Good luck to everyone
– jujule
I'm in. I think it is the third time I'm participating, but I've done some MiniLDs too.
Tools : Unity3D, a tiny bit of Photoshop, some free sound tools like S/BFXR
and Autotracker and code from my previous entries.
Expect some ASCII art / super retro retro art.
Good luck to everyone.
– jujule
That's what I planed to call it but family matters decided otherwise. Compo is over for me, I'll never have the time to finish. Seriously, someone should come up with a "occupation-for-wife-or-girlfriend-during-ludum-dare"-dare.
Anyways, my game was to be a bullet hell style shooter without a shooting button mixed with a block puzzle. Basically, bullets have color. When you're hit, you accumulate charge. If the next hit is from a bullet of a different color, you fire and start charging the new color and so on. The goal is to accumulate as much as possible charge of one color to destroy incoming blocks. Not very clear, isn't it… Here is a screen shot. You can also try the latest builds here : Mac / Win / Linux
Good luck to those still fighting through the final stretch and congratulations to all who already posted their contributions ! Can't wait to give them a try !
– jujule
It's a busy week-end and I hate the theme ( but of course ! ) but I'm in !!!
I have an idea but I'm not so sure it fits the theme. Yet my always lo-fi ASCII art graphics might put me back on tracks.
Tools :
Good luck to everyone ! Can't wait to try your games !
– jujule
Phew, about 1 hour left !!!
The game takes place in the past.
You want to be evil and the Evil Master of the Evil Clan
looks at you but at the same time he looks at the beautiful
waves behind you and deeply smells the salty scent of
the infinite sea. After a long pause he says :
"Dude, TRULY EVIL PEOPLE need a tall EVIL TOWER."
Find the entry here. I hope you'll enjoy it.
I'm in for my second real Ludum Dare. I'm very very excited !
I'll be using :
Well, good luck to everybody ! See you all tomorrow !

On the road again
... We know how lucky we are to have the opportunity to take this trip. We hope that the girls will appreciate it, if not now, then maybe some day. There are bound to be lots of highs and lows over the coming months, and hopefully during the lows we'll remind ourselves that it's all part of the adventure, and that we're fortunate to be on the journey together.
First stop: Santa Fe, New Mexico.
We The People
... historical books, including notebooks kept by Lewis and Clark.
Next we went to the Second Bank of the United States. It was completed in 1824 and was modeled after the Parthenon in Greece. It was designed by William Strickland who created many buildings in Philadelphia. The bank was only open for about 20 years before being shut down. Today it is a portrait gallery. In front of it stand a statue of Robert Morris, he was the many who owned ...
It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia!
... The dinner was followed by a ghost tour, organized by the hostel. The hostel guide took us to many of Philly's cemeteries, abandoned places, churches and dark parks that had a story. Even though there was no need for me to be only slightly scared since the guys largely outnumbered the girls, I have to admit I was still kind of nervous. But it was lots of fun to explore the city by night after having seen it by day. When we got back to the hostel they treated us to ...
Another adventure begins...
... electronically on our 15.5 hour flight!
Pretty straightforward flight apart from that. Mal was able to come back to sit with us for the sleeping part of the journey, because Dad was happy to sit in the seat with no sound, and keep watch on the flight path for us (also Noah and my favourite channel - if you know us, you'll see the funny side of this fact!). I say sleep, but really, who can sleep like that? I think Elijah got the most ...
My Ben-ja-min Frank-a-lins!
... multicoloured houses. We popped into a tiny little museum in one of the converted houses, and carried on through, walking back past Christ Church to find a store to buy some stuff for dinner.
We got back to the hostel fairly late and were finally allowed to check in. We hauled our bags up the narrow staircase to the one room, and were shocked to see that there were 28 beds there. We'd booked for a dorm room, but there was only supposed to be 12 beds - this place ...

why o.O nothing wrong with spring at all.
Been a long time lurking, decided to join to making tracking/watching mods, and indie games far easier on myself.
why o.O nothing wrong with spring at all.
Texture contrast/saturation seems to be off comparing it to the building behind it; and the -massive- tank next to it. Also seems to be some issues with the bright greens not having defined lines/edges, might just wanna 1px black edge those. That or there's stretching issues on the UV map. (Or its missing an AO pass from the Highpoly; if the engine even uses normal maps, never played around with C&C3 before)
The concentrated 'detail' (plate lines/body lines) on the tank looks ridiculous compared to the simple lines of the mastodon, seems to me that you need to unify all the textures to make everything more cohesive.
Ah, the weapon that forced the SAS to invent the term doubletap, brilliant :D
L85, MG3, and M80 had an orgy, and this is the resulting bastard love child. xD Brilliant job guys. Just makesure the bipod doesn't clip the foregrip (or does it fold forward like a Harris?)
eh just positioning and stuff, things that cause my OCD to go off xD
Now, from previous comments I've gathered your running some type of solid-state caseless projectile (Similar to those being tested in Metal-Storm applications, etc.), so barrel length might not be a huge issue, however the standard 47" overall/16"-20" barrel AR-style feels a bit more, well AR then DMR (Although this issue with the length, might be related to the perspective). Might just be me because I've grown so used to my own DMR, but the Free Floating RIS there should run to about 1-2 inches behind the flash hider, typically because the DMR fills the roll between support-snipers and the average infantryman, they run a Bipod of some kind (may I suggest a Harris-styled?) along with a Vertical Fore-Grip for added dexterity for off-hand/bone support shots.
Also I see your running backup/MBUS styled flip-sights, very nice, but the reason the forward sight is as far "forward" as it typically is, is due to the fact the farther distance you have between the Rear and the Front to "draw a straight line", the more accurate your ironsights will be, out to a greater range. Sorta like the differences between say an AKs "short" sights, and an ARs "long" sights. Both weapons can be insanely accurate in the right hands; but it takes less mis-alignment on the AK with its short sights, to throw you off target then it does the AR styled sights, with further spacing between them.
Again, not trying to be a ****, just offering my 2 cents ^^
actually I agree with your sense on the proportions, but if you look at the art-style for these concepts in general, this is kinda how it works. Looks brilliant, and Maniac I'd like to see you do better :P
Well the concept is not completely 'original' (but what is xD)
(Yes, I know the scale is different/etc, but its the same rough theme, so thought I mind as well show-off the Ma.K stuff :P)
something I've been wondering about, is this inspired at all by Ma.K/Maschinen Krueger?
Reminds me a bit of Child's Play, goodluck guys!
No I was referring to the patching for Vanilla stalker, not to patching LURK itself. (ie; why I didn't say LURK 1.0552, I said Stalker 1.0005)
Assuming because the previous release of lurk required stalker to be patched to 1.0005, that this release will require that aswell?
Can you prove this? Because after doing some digging, I can't even find any solid images of the weapon your talking about, in game or otherwise.
Also, its a fethin pipe, you can only model it so many ways bud. Not like its a unique design in itself :P
For the bases, are we looking at a Heroes of Might and Magic style construction system? Ie; one building per 'turn', or a relative amount of turns for each piece of construction, and you don't control the placement of the buildings, or will we be looking at more of a heavily interactive placement as seen in games like Battlezone 2/C&C Renegade/etc?
....why have I never heard of this before!?
iDTech 4** not 'D3' :P
Well I'll think about grabbing this MTX file, however, if your going to be using a torrent client, is it really that hard to have a compiled & ready .exe/OS Specific Installer?
Moddb.com Read that. *rolls eyes*
Hah great to see this is still alive! Was getting a bit worried since GW/THQ/or -someone- sent the other UDK/Unreal Engine WH40k Game a C&D letter, brilliant model too btw.
Youknow what, I loved how this was going, and the attention you sunk into both the community (as small as it seems to have been) as well as the project itself, was and is astounding, I think I'll track the studio you've made just to keep an eye out for your future projects!
Wow, just, wow. Will the hands & weapons be receiving texture upgrades? Also, will the mod be compatible with the Fan Patch/Unofficial 6.9 Patch?
"Meet the Tank: T-Tex" a play on the words T-Rex and Tank, or a simple mistake? :P
And you guys don't gotta sell me on buying it, always had plans to *thumbs up*
No problem man! It's a pain in the *** and I barely know how to do what I -did- correctly, and even then I learned through experimentation! Playing around is the best way to learn (for me), and this is still an amazing sculpt.
If I may make a recommendation; I understand its supposed to be some form of android, as such it needs an organic & inorganic feel, stiffening the edges around the 'pads'/'armor of the legs, and the central circle's walls (the one of the characters left side/viewpoint right side)could use a touch of it as well.
The collar feels like a space-helmet's locking collar, and I like that actually, after seeing the painting you did on the previous model I have no doubt you'll be able to pull that look off, but making it feel/seem more like a machined piece of metal, stiffening/pinching the edges down, and smoothing/flattening the stiff areas around the 'holes' you see there, would go a long way.
I know I'm no master at this, infact I'm far from even being able to do what you've done there I'm sure, but I took some time and highlighted areas that seem to need more refinement, *this is just my opinion remember*
If I may make a recommendation as well, the 'joining' area, between the 'collar' and the suit, look like poorly defined cables/tubes, might just be me but I'd love the look of two black, ribbed cables/tubes there.
I393.photobucket.com I used that for a Borg/Evil-Cyborg piece I worked on awhile back, simply adding the 'ribbing' you see there on the center, would make that joining area look amazing.
whale man demands more camera-mooning action!
Other then as a long range scout, how will this be played? Or is it a representation for 'spectator' players?
Well, it looks of the same quality, as Stalker + Lurk with Full Dynamic Lighting on :P
Hell, no I'll give it to you guys, even as a die hard Stalker/LURK fan, this looks even -better-.
I know its not supposed to be exact in anyway; but heres just my 2-bits. Pitch the shocks back twords the rear wheel a little more, extend the connection bar from the top of the springs, out to the front of what looks like the connection point/axle.
Titling the headlights back, as well as lowering the top (and bringing up the plate) of the buggies front windshield area, letting it pitch down more, as well as 'hollowing' the 'wing's of the buggy, were the doors would naturally be on a normal car. Extend the rear rollcage out a little more as well, or the whole body the model, it wouldn't be insane harsh just, a small tug. Also, again this is all my opinion, I wouldn't've created the Axles, like that, using them as a separate mesh and joining them into it later, would add more detail and would look cleaner then a simple block.
I know this model is *far* from a In-game, but those are just my 2-bits, goodluck ^^
Thief meets dark messiah? Cause that is what it reminds me of, and not in a badway!
While orks can be equal to space marines; Imperial Guard face them -regularly- on a lot of battlefields, the touch of Corruption that the Plague Lord Nurgle brings in, adds a bit more depth in my opinion, and matches the 'infected' theme. I believe it was shortly after the battle (or durring) for Apocalypse/Apocalypse Campaign, that a plague daemon (or perhaps Nurlge his-pestilential self)brought forth a Zombie-Plague, that would raise the dead.*
(*Also Seen twords the end of Space Wolves; Book 2)
As per it being Ogryn, they are known to fall to chaos, but wouldn't it be a bit harder to remodel it into an Ogryn form, also considering they wouldn't move the same way, new animations/new bones/etc would need to be rigged and animated (as far as my understanding goes.) So I think this works, and this concept art has been great guys, keep it up!
One would only imagine so lol
Norton, I need a drink.
My one complaint?
Torcher, I believe you mean Torture? The rest of the mod looks great, have to see were its headed in further updates though.
2nd reply (and I hope double posting isn't against the rules), but this game is great, I'll admit the puzzles at times were a *tiny* bit weak, but I feel thats beacuse the Board tool was to big, the tiny 'pips' or 'rivets' on the end, 1 set of those (say the right side) is what needs to be shaved off in my opinion.
Also the inertia from death on some levels (happened to me twice) *can* carry you backwards off the platform when you respawn. It's not a big deal but just something I thought you might want to know.
Other then that, my only wish besides more levels *no doubt this is happening lol* is some sort of level editor. I think designing and sharing your own maps for something like this would really bring it a step farther.
But, all in all, its a 4/5 Game, I didn't give it a 5/5 simply because of the inertia glitch I described above =\ if one was on a set amount of lives, that would be infuriating.
Also the Camera movement, the panning on the screen, seemed to be a *touch* slow, I'm not fully sure why this is, but yeah. It just seemed that way to me at least, might not for others, but as I've said, this is just my opinion.
Oh P.S. make the Erase icon a little bit better, or a bit easier to see, maybe its my short attention span; or the fact I haven't slept in awhile lol, but I actually didn't even notice it till my 2nd new game, because I couldn't erase the props/structures given to complete the level.
Hm, looks interesting to say the least; it could fizzle out but, I have high hopes for it, besides that who can complain about an indie game right?
Cause orange, is the color of the Lit Promethium, spewing forth from the Heavy Flamers of the Chapter ;)
Hrm..aren't the lenses red on -all- space marine suits anyways? Or is it one of those artistic-licenses painters typically take?
Brilliant job :D
Also, quick question (can't recall if I've seen it asked before) will the Scouts/Initiates still be playing a role?
Thumbs up for barrel weights *thumbsup*
hey man not a problem!
So stick to the old GW Standards for bashing? Yeah I don't know if you've kept up with the models, but Space Wolves are getting to be old news :P
...now, Lamenters, there's an idea ;)
Also, there -are- afew games coming out with Ultra Marines being the template; in internal testing (to the best of my knowledge)Dark Millennium (the 40k MMO) was using UMs, as -well- as the new "Space Marine" game is Ultramarines Based.
Actually getting a hell of a lot better! My personal project has ground to a halt but that's because I need to do a -lot- of concept work first, but I now have a 'firm' grip on the basics of the UDK ^^
So, I'll admit I'm dying for this mod, even more so now that I've gone to the homepage there and checked-out the weapons, OTs-33 <33333
Alright I'm going to be blunt with you because it seems to be the only way to get you to understand what I'm saying, True Scale marines are closer to the Fluff/Lore, created by Games Workshop.
The miniatures issued by GW, -fit- what they are ment to do, meaning they represent Space Marines. However, using the scales, referenced in the lore/fluff/material offered by GW they don't 'fit' the universe they created. So fans have taken it upon themselves to create "True" Scale Space Marines, true, being an abstract reference to the 'true' height of space marines, IN said universe; IN said "fluff."
No see, now the comment is gone but it was aimed at heavy flame, sorry lads xD
Don't forget WHF's Gotrek & Felix Omnibus releases ^^
Actually, I'm an IG fan :P, but yeah, you did a brilliant job, keep it up! ^^
wait, what do you think I was showing you? True Scale marines are entirely different; and not offered by GW at all. They are made by fans, modifying Terminator parts and Space Marine parts to make them 'truer' to the scale of the Warhammer Universe.
Hell even on the image I linked you to, that isn't "perfect" true scale space marines, but considering it varies from artist to artist what can you expect? :P
Bolter & Chainsword there have a good topic on the scale of space marines by Tsuro. His conversion work there is amazing, if a bit..clunky, although that's to be expected when upscaling like that without a huge amount of artistic license.
These guys have been working on a mod like this since l4d, I highly doubt your project will come anywhere near completion without the set of skills these guys have.
Well, as people like Scray failed to figure out; this right here is what I was worried about, and thus, why I 'flamed' all of the small-minded retards who made Killzone references.
That being said, I love -both- models; the sights are rather interesting! Also your modeler did another amazing job, although I would like to ask a quick question, the 'forward assist' there in a bullpup design, seems rather ill placed ^^;;; Typically its 'tapped' forward to ensure a good seating of the round; or pulled back to extract a jammed round/casing/misfired round.
I apologize if I come across rather harsh when berating these people; but having spent most of my life around firearms, I personally can't -stand- it when people do that. It's almost as bad as people making references to MWF2 when they look at Airsoft or -actual- Military personnel! Mind as well stop the idiocy where & when I can.
forgot to add this to my previous comment but I wanted to ask are you basing that opinion of "The chest looks very wide and perhaps 20% too tall." on the miniatures issued by GW, or "truescale" Space Marines?
Left - GW SM
Middle - TS SM
Right - IG
As you can see; the typical Space Marine miniature, is completely out of scale (then again, let's face it, WH40k as a miniatures game is completely mucked up when it comes to scale on the vehicles vs infantry :P)considering to the best of my recollection from the Fluff/Lore, a space marine out of armor was a "head" above most IG, ie; 6-7 feet, 8-9 in armor.
Terminators of course standing 9-10 (12 probably with Cyclone Missile Launcher.) inside of their armor, unless you count Pre-Hersey, then I think they pushed 13+ feet, being basically giant walking tanks that could rip holes in starships.
That is, until the Techpriests met the Squats, and looted all of their technical knowledge :P ;)
Nigh a bit pissy eh?
However, he is right. Let's face it; the game is 'top down', you won't see the head details all to often. It's a great model, couldn't've (and haven't, although I'd like to say the one I made is close :P) made it better myself.
However for the sake of clipping (or to put it a better way; to keep your meshes -from- clipping into itself.) I would have to say ChromeAngel is right about the knee joint & the back of the boots. It'd look a touch strange if every footstep caused the rear of his boot to clip into his armor.
Although I suppose it'd work for walking, and while they Know no Fear; they do know when to take cover or run :P
Well something I don't think that was pointed out in this article, is that the game was released free (and with full mod support), not as a true 'game', but only as a gameplay mechanic. Designed as a shell for the modding/indie community to use as a framework for their own creations. (thus the short main campaign.)
I think Valve definitely took notice at the amazing work being done by the fans, in the L4D User Created campaigns, and wanted to maximize on that fanbase; and that creativity.
That's both a positive, and negative thing; We can expect a trillion lackluster 'zombie' mods to come, but for every fifty of those perhaps we'll get a gem or two out of this amazing release.
Not really; its the texture for a Laser Rifle :P
what on earth are you talking about, with the *possible* exception of the floor, I don't see -any- HL2 stock textures.
God your doing amazing.
Amusingly enough this was the -first- mod I thought of when I heard about Alien Swarm releasing a full SDK. Brilliant job guys, goodluck! Hopefully you can recycle some of your current models, save some time ^^
'Stick' Magazines are over-rated ;) :P
I have one on a Para USA TTR ^^ looks amazing on a dedicated marksmans weapon, but terrible on your typical Assault Rifle.
You've come a long way! Glad to see your mapping, just started doing mapping myself in the UDK, takes a bit to get into eh? (yes, I know your in source, but it's similar in manner you go about creating maps) xD
Also ignore the negative comments your Locust, there's only so many ways to do a Vertical Take-off & Landing Craft, and what've you've done is on-par with the current developments in small-unit/small carrying capacity designs.
Perhaps posting up some Wireframe/X-Ray views on the Rifle would help get you some crits? That is, if you're looking for them :P
Suppose the XM LR3000/Para USA TTR remind you of it as well, or perhaps because it's a bullpup the FAMAS G1/G2?
Anyways, glad you posted some wire-ish/x-ray frames, lets us see how awesome your modeler is :P
Yeah because having a shotgun as an under mounted attachment, was invented by killzone.
huh, Robert E. Howard reference?
God I missed the first release of this, and I've been dying to try it out, huzzah for its rebirth!
Can I just say..YESYESYESYES..Yes.
hah that sucks man! <3 online backups (specially drop-box)
How's the project coming?
Hey man, sorry for the lack of updates here :S I don't really have any production-grade work finished :P Have to basically re-learn modeling from the ground up.
Other then that, pretty good, you?
..Must...Resist...FIRE TILL YOU SEE THE GLOW OF MA BARRELS
..This was source engine, or was some douche just putting that up there? xD
Could this be used in junction with a much like Discovery Freelancer? (or does it already contain something like this in the firstplace o.o been ages since I played classic freelancer)
Because its supposed to be really.
Wow, just, Wow.
My father purchased a copy of the Original Battlezone, ages and ages ago. And then (years later), we ran across a copy of Battlezone 2 in a half-price bin, and its been one of the few, few, games that we have been able to play, and its probably been maybe 8-9 years.
Seriously, if anyone see this, run out, find a used or ebay copy of the game, play it straight through, grab this mod, and get a bunch of people together for LAN.
(Also <3 Hidden and Dangerous :P...but not 2, H&D2 gets no love D: bloody demo sucked, and the game was terrible in general. )
Those look to be scratches/damage, and actually they are pretty realistic from what I've seen. Great mod, great models, got a follower in me! ^^
A 40k, L4D mod/Campaign..
Bad. ***.
Mine was a complete build, with the exception of the Case & Monitor :S so, you just gotta shop around and get the good deals when they show up lol.
Hrm, it seems my comment didn't go through *curse you internets*
I fail to see how you get away with saying 400 isn't bad for a "gaming PC" I built mine, with some rather handy deals from newegg & tiger direct, that runs crisis just fine on medium and with minimal loss on high, for about 250-275 :S
Also; its basically impossible at this point, to the best of my understanding, to run Crysis on the 360. Simply put, the 360, doesn't run mods at this point. (Or probably ever, <3 you Tuesday Update for killing Free60)
As per the PS3, I believe, believe, it has been showcased running mods correct? But I believe, those are only for the Unreal 3 Engine.
Your concept, is rough around the edges and very ambitious, I wish you well, all be it I also want to say this might be something you want to put on the back burner, till you have a slowly built up portfolio and skill set in Modding/3D, etc. Granted, I know I'm not one to talk considering I only have a minimal set of Modeling skills, but you have to understand the...monumental amount of work you have listed there.
Also gotta ask, were did you come up with the idea that creating a great mod, would lend t'words your being hired by a game studio?
Yes a, "great" mod would help this, I'm sure, but hard work by the individuals; not necessarily because of this mod, would earn the person that chance. Bluntly put, not all of a 'team' would get hired, if any at all.
Boiled Down; In my opinion. Get a team, pick a smaller project, and work on this on the side with afew or all of those team members. Start small, dream big. Although I'm fairly sure anything I can say here, will be dismissed as trolling/flaming :P

"CENTRAL PARK" was "FEATURED" in the group THE SCAVENGER HUNT
Ashland, Kentucky, located in the NE part of the bluegrass state, boasts a 47-acre (190,000 m2) beautiful wooded park! CENTRAL PARK was founded in 1854, with playgrounds and other amusements. In the spring of 1995, the pond was excavated, and later filled with water by September.
The original water lilies that were planned in 1937 had come back in full bloom. Several fountains were added in the center of the park, and numerous fish species were added.
CENTRAL PARK today features an ice skating area, three separate children playgrounds, several baseball diamonds, a volleyball court and a traditional bandstand.
CENTRAL PARK also hosts an annual, holiday light show, the WINTER WONDERLAND OF LIGHTS travel from all around the world to see thousands of Christmas lights of spectacular displays! Santa's train offers rides around the park, and carriage rides are also available during the Christmas season.
Filled with striking, lush greenery, spectacular flowers, and towering trees, CENTRAL PARK is a "must-see" for anyone visiting Ashland, Ky!
CENTRAL PARK'S "WINTER WONDERLAND OF LIGHTS" can be viewed at ASHLAND, KENTUCKY'S WINTER WONDERLAND FESTIVAL

The beautifully done groom's dinner food was outstanding, wait staff so attentive without being obtrusive and the technology needs of the couple were attended to efficiently. I was so impressed with 2 meat buffet, pasta and salad.
Service was excellent and the menu was well done, as there was a page of THEIR favorites. I had some great lamb chops.
The food was wonderful everything we expected. The service was poor. Everyone around us were treated like royalty and we were treated like second rate citizens. Not impressed. We were judge by what we wore. Our Chilibowl nationals t shirts. Sad!!
Really enjoyed the atmosphere and food at Ti Amo...close to the BOK center so it was a perfect pre-concert dinner.
My wife and I attended a Christmas dinner at Ti Amo's and were very pleased. Although there was a buffet-style offering of food, Ti Amo's was able to accommodate the gluten-free food needs of my wife. The food was very good and everyone that attended (around 35 people) were in agreement that it was a wonderful dining experience.

I went on a Friday night and it was real busy. Still, great service, food came reasonably quick, really nice atmosphere, and a nice touch was the violinist who walked around and played! I had a light meal and wine and it was a real pleasant experience. I will definitely come back.
Our family enjoyed an excellent Thanksgiving Day Brunch at Ti Amo. The food was quite simply excellent. The prime rib, ham, and turkey were all expertly prepared ... not overcooked or dry ... and there was a very nice assortment of delicious side dishes as well. Our 5 year old grandson really enjoyed dipping strawberries in the chocolate fountain ......
Went here recently on a Monday and they do a very good business for what should be slow night. They give you a complementary bruscetta (crostini with tomatoes, garlic, basil, olive oil, vinegar) but if you don't get the Shrimp and Lobster bisque, you are missing out! They have several salads and the entrees come with a choice of soup...
My wife and I were looking for a place to eat the night of a tornado in the 80's, and stumbled across a little Italian restaurant in a strip mall on 21st street. Almost 30 years later, we are regulars at the fine dining TiAmo's on South Sheridan, a classy old Italian style restaurant that serves cusine as fine as...
Selected this place out of the phone book and was glad we did.
Food was excellent-as good as any Italian restaurant most anywhere in the Midwest- with service to match. The decor is sort of "old Italian" but without the fake "patched wall" embellishments found in so many Italian places. The ceiling was high and so the noise level is...

Dessert Recipes from The Kitchn
Fun fact: I got married at a BJ's Restaurant. During a six-month period when I lived in a Southern California suburb surrounded by giant, generic chain restaurants like Applebee's and Outback Steakhouse, my future husband and I developed an unexpected affection for the doughy deep-dish pizzas and hot-pink strawberry lemonades at the local BJ's. Not to mention the Pizookie, a cookie baked in a small cake pan, served hot and gooey with ice cream scooped on top. The Pizookie had a lot to do with it, come to think of it.

In the coming weeks, many food writers and magazines are focusing on Easter and Passover, anticipating Sunday brunches, Easter egg hunts, and the traditional Seder plate.
But there's another important holiday happening even sooner than these major holidays: Purim, the merriest of Jewish holidays, begins at sundown tomorrow (Wednesday March 4, 2015). It celebrates the liberation of Persian Jews from the persecution of the evil minister Haman. And there's a treat to celebrate.

Five years ago, we hosted our 10 full-time staff members for a weekend retreat in the country, and I was in charge of the cooking. We were hungry worker bees, stretching our brains all day, decoding the secrets of site design, traffic analytics, and reader satisfaction. Tried as I did to push the healthy snacks on my coworkers, it was a plate of dark chocolate walnut cookies that won for best snack.
Digging back into the archives, I found the post about these cookies with some broken code and one of the worst food photographs I ever made. So I decided to resurrect the piece for you this week, because five years on, these are still one of my favorite tea-time snacks.

Get Squaresoft To Listen!
Squaresoft, one of the biggest makers of role playing games, has left Europe, Australia and many other PAL countries in the dust. They have decided, without any basis, to refuse these areas certain games. Crono Trigger and Final Fantasy Tactics, some of their best known games in the United States, are pushed aside from our gaming pleasure. If they thought that it would cost too much to get it ready for the PAL market, they should at least get enough money too cover the costs of doing so. This petition will be sent to Squaresoft, when I feel that I have enough support.

Suck it, GWAR!: 6 (.66) Reasons Why Rosemary's Billygoat Still Rule (In Pictures)
Lina Lecaro
This past weekend's Frightmare Before Xmas show at the Dragonfly thrown by Batcave Hollywood was quite a morbid yet merry mash-up, but the horrific highlight of this holiday massacre was LA's own Rosemary's Billygoat. If you've ever caught the local schlock-rock lunatics on stage over their 20 year career (yes, 20, according to frontman Mike Odd) you know they've got an arsenal of anarchistic Alice Cooper-style stage tricks. Below, six (.66) reasons why they still rule and should be just as famous as GWAR.
1. Hell Is For Children- Not only is the band's cover of Pat Benatar's classic reinterpreted in fiendish fashion on stage (props for this song always include baby dolls; see red imp being pitchforcked in the neck by Odd, above), it sounds really good done in the goat's sludgy, dramatic style.
Lina Lecaro
2. Pentagram Pizzas- "Pizza of Darkness" might be a cheezy track, but who can resist a pentagram sliced pie? The band have actually served the foodstuff at shows, but Saturday, Odd simply held up a giant one. His outfit made up for the lack of snacks.
Lina Lecaro
3. Hobbit Feet- A cautionary tune about picking up dudes in big boots at bars.
Lina Lecaro
4. Pyro!
Lina Lecaro
5. Their fans. Andrew WK followers, eat your hearts out.
Lina Lecaro
6.66. Even without the freaky/funny theatrics, RB's music manages to be aggro and dark yet jovial and dare we say it, feel good? Also, they're one of the few bands that it's actually okay to say, "they killed it" on stage, because they always do. In more ways than one.
