Has anyone been keeping an eye on this? I've been following it for a while. I'm one of the people who never played the original Planetside, but I did read about it. For those unaware, it was basically an FPS MMO, with different factions fighting over bases and whatnot, with tanks, air vehicles, etc. The sequel is also an FPS MMO, and it's going to be Free-To-Play. The game's still in development, but you can apply for beta keys on the homepage (the beta is not running yet though): http://www.planetside2.com Alternatively, the latest issue of PC Gamer UK (141) contains a Planetside 2 beta key for priority access when it goes live. Anyone else interested in this game?

I thought Faceposer was just for managing facial expressions and not for dealing with other animations, however I am not experienced with the tool. It's possible the Valve Developer Wiki may be of use to you if you haven't already checked it out: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Faceposer

I saw it on RockPaperShotgun. Sadly I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped I would.

Damned warm.

If you reply to them it just interrupts the topic and makes the thread more confusing. I'm posting this here rather than deleting the previous two posts because the more people that understand this the better things will be. I don't have a Last.fm account myself.

In the latest Portal 2 trailer Cave Johnson refers to his father as being "just a simple farmer", "a professor of farming at the local farm college."

Didn't this used to be an Unreal mod years ago? I'm sure I read about it in an issue of PC Gamer UK way back... EDIT: The video was pretty neat, and the gameplay looked quite nice at the end. I also like the sound of the bite system, it sounds like it adds an interesting element of risk. Might be an idea to try and get some people here playing it. A game or two in an evening perhaps...

Garry's Mod has a lot of scope for complexity, infinite scope if you count the addons. However it can also be really simple and easy to use, it depends on what you want to do with it. My best advice is to start simple and work from there. It can be fairly fun to play it with friends too. If you can host a server or know a private server / or we could just find an empty server, I don't mind showing you how to use some of the basic tools that you'll frequently use, etc. I could also run you through the process of installing addons, but the addon system is getting workshop integration with Garry's Mod 13 so I shouldn't worry about that for now. I can talk about different addons and what they can do to the game though, etc.

I've seen some of the other 'Farmer's Insurance' videos with him in. They're fairly nuts, there's even one where he wields a flamethrower!

Well it's long since been May 14th and this thread has run its course. Closed.

Working to make it so I can compile for the Source SDK in VS2010. It feels so much nicer than VS2008... EDIT: Success, thanks to some helpful Valve Developer Wiki pages!

This is such a fantastic piece of music I felt strongly compelled to post it: 6IyunGfAmeY @scott155, That William Tell Overture is also pretty good!

Supposed to be? Perhaps you are thinking of Steam's upcoming 'Big Picture' mode? http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/thebigpicture.php

Just over four hours worth! AND YET I AM STILL AWAKE NOW. In fact, I'm going to bed RIGHT now!

That's quite a crazy and entirely baseless theory you have there!

I prefer not to judge people by their age myself.

Just got back after submitting my dissertation!

These might be relevant (there are larger versions of the images on the site): http://xkcd.com/256/ http://xkcd.com/802/

Hell, I don't think VALVE even knew what it was for in the original. Also, about the picture, Jesus H. tap-dancing Christ! Poor peters... I'm afraid he...never made it back.

This is because it was subsequently denied by Valve. On the contrary, they made a statement about it: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/339280/valve-denies-steam-box-console-rumours/

Continuing to work on my dissertation! DUE IN LESS THAN FIVE DAYS.

For some reason I've never felt compelled to change my name on this forum.

I remember this game...I think I played it in KOTOR 2.

Entertaining as usual! Perhaps it is a Machinima thing?

Working on my dissertation, deadline in 12 days!
