  1. Screenshot Mega Thread

    As I appear to be on an ArmA pimping rampage, here are a few screenies:

    The island of Sahrani, viewed from the highest mountain with viewdistance 10km:


    A walk through the woods on a slightly foggy july morning.


    A Warthog clearing an island of enemy armour, in preperation of an amphibious infantry assault.


    A slight close up of the tracers. The sounds are amazing; the GAU-8 really sounds like an angry beast!

  3. Recent, "moddable" Games

    I second Armed Assault. What are you aiming to mod? Scripts, models..? Doesn't matter really, ArmA has it all.

  4. Armed Assault (From makers of Opflash)

    Certainly. 1.14 brought so much goodness (or un-suckiness) that I can't imagine any mod/missionmaker still working with previous versions.

    Meh, I'd rather sit on a spike than be forced to play yet another ****ing WWII game.

    Where's the zombie mods, that's what I want to know. They used to be cool for Op Flash.

    Sorry for the necro, but you should try Quarantine. A fantastic mission using the Yomies addon (ArmA zombies). It plays like some kind of crazy STALKER/28 days later hybrid. Very atmospheric, especially in MP where erstwhile allies may end up as enemies after rows over resources. Great fun!

  6. Limbo Of The Lost - LOL !

    Ah, the best gaming-related laugh I've had in years. Tri Synergy is doing it's utmost best to deny any responsibility, but the European publisher (G2 Games) still offers the game for a mere 30 quid:

    http://www.g2games.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=28&Itemid=1

    The description is oh so promising!

    LIMBO of the LOST is aimed at players who yearn to play the traditional point & click adventure games of old, Utilizing a full mouse driven interface with incredible visuals and devious puzzles, this is the adventure you have been waiting for!

    Help Captain Benjamin Spooner Briggs as he explores the depths of LIMBO in the KEEP of LOST SOULS. Fail and the very essence of Mankind will be ripped apart.

    Somewhere in Limbo . . . . . . . . .

    Two huge wooden doors slowly creak open and light seeps into a huge inner sanctum. Two figures; one dressed in black the other white, cross the engraved marble floor and move towards the center of this vast domed room. They stand either side of a large glass globe that sits in an ornate gold cradle, trapped within it a swirling black smoke weaves and bobs around as if it has a life of its own.

    FATE - "Yet again the hour is upon us, how quickly our cousin Time wields his mighty sword"

    DESTINY - "Yes indeed, but on this occasion my dear brother, you shall not be victorious."

    FATE - "I fear no creature and covet no mortal trait. I was born to rule and rule I shall."

    DESTINY - "We shall see. Is everything set? The Book...........where is the Book?"

    FATE - "Sufferance is where Mankind's curiosity will find it."

    DESTINY - "Then for the 7th and final time...........Let battle commence!"

    FATE - "And for the last time I look forward to your failures. Let it begin!"

    DESTINY - "Behold Brother!.............. It already has.............."

    The two adversaries look closer into the glass orb. The dark swirling smoke begins to clear to reveal a sailing ship at full sail gliding through the water. Displayed on the ships nameplate are the words - 'Mary Celeste'.

  7. Explain your Name.

    Xawery us an archaic form of Ksawery, my grandfather's name. Xawery is derived from Xavier, which either means New House in Basque or The Bright/Splendid One in Arabic.

    My actual first name is Aleksander, which translates as "men's defender, warrior". I'd rather be protecting the wenches, truth be told, but Alexgunos just sounded odd :wink:

  8. Let's Smoke the smokers

    James 说:
    @ Nash: Stunk is a word, yes, but it is used in a different manner than you had there. I don't know what it's called, but here are examples:

    I stink.

    Yesterday, she stank.

    The cat has stunk before.

    I believe it's called imperfect past, meaning there isn't a certain point in the past it happened, versus perfect past, where it was one happening (i.e., the dog barked, vs. the dog was barking). I may have them backwards, but that's what they're called.

    Yeah, you're thinking of the difference between a preterite and a past participle. It's just like with singing: I sing; yesterday, she sang; the cat has sung before.

  9. Let's Smoke the smokers

    Archonsod 说:
    Personally, what I hate are the arseholes who put on that much perfume / aftershave it's like you've just walked into a cloud of Agent Orange. Any smell you dislike is annoying, but I draw the line when I start feeling my sinuses dissolving.

    True, but that's a universal truth applicable to everyone, not only smokers. Smelling smoke on someone is unpleasant, but people who douse themselves in Hugo Boss are downright physically aggravating.

  10. Let's Smoke the smokers

    Archonsod 说:
    You can make a nice roll up with the flavoured pipe tobacco. Used to love vanilla and cherry.

    Though like I always said, if someone is offended by the smell of smoke on me I'm more than happy to stop them smelling it :wink:
    点击展开...

    Too true :grin: My regular phrase is "Oh I'm sorry, if my smoke's bothering you just keep it to yourself". People are so used to standard expressions that it usually takes them a few seconds to notice this one has a somewhat different conclusion :wink:

    A similar technique can be used if you want to up the ante when in a row with your girlfirend: "honey, you're so sexy when you keep your mouth shut"... but that's getting a wee off-topic.

    But yeah, all joking aside, smokers do stink and can't smell it themselves. If I'm mingling with people I prefer to smoke in open, airy spaces... And I always have breath mints, a small bottle of cologne and traveller's soap on me. It's hard to socialise if you smell like you've been chewing on the contents of an ashtray.

    I did. With comments :razz:

    What the **** do you want, a thirteen page essay on why I chose those tracks? I figured the topic was pretty succinct really. Not much point cluttering it up with useless verbiage.

    Hmm, so nothing strikes you as peculiar about posting a single link in a thread called "Music that makes you stop dead in your tracks, that has a meaning"? Ah well, I guess irony isn't for everyone.

    Why?

    No one pays attention to the emotional ramblings anyway. Chances are they won't bother even clicking your links, they just want to post their own.
    *skips rest of the post*

    For those reasons exactly. People who "just want to post their own" are the kind of people who invented "tl;dr". Incidentally, it's ironic that they put a semicolon in there, seeing as it's usually the first victim of short attention spans.

    "How It Ends", by Devotchka. This song really makes me stop dead in my tracks every time I hear it. I've seen them perform on numerous occasions and the live performances are even more powerful. Here's a clip from one of their concerts, same song. You should feel the vibe that went through the crowd as they played it... electrifying. Despite the lossy quality and the noise from the audience I actually prefer this one to the studio version, but that's probably because I know the song by heart :razz:

    Another great song that really makes you pause is Le Vent Nous Portera by Noir Desir. The singer has spent the past four years in jail for beating his girlfriend to death in a Lithuanian hotel... apparantly she was having an affair. Ouch. Still, an amazing song and a fantastic clip.
