That's a rant? You annoyed by that fact or something?

I was going to go airsofting tomorrow, but it rained. ALL DAY. I might still go anyway, but I'm not going in those woods to get wet and muddy, no sir. I'm staying on the hill and sniping all their asses.

It's a legit strategy but bring a tent

Tarp. I don't feel the need for camouflage.

I will sit on my hill, and shoot you. And there's nothing you can do about it. (G36c, MK23, bolt-action sniper)

OMG, that would make my day. I would be paying LESS than 20 bucks per refill.

Estimates have shot up to 5.40 a gallon for the summer. I might as well start begging my parents to get me insured so I can drive my mom's prius. 'Cause my 25mpg hwy car is gonna kill me.

I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of my 31 MPG city car. >_>

Compare
Australia:

America:
http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=200262

Now not to be rude or angry or anything but when Australia-American currency is extremely close (1 Australian dollar = 0.9248 U.S. dollars to be exact) the pricing scheme is RIDICULOUS

Yes, I know there's importing fees and all that jazz but that doesn't cost an extra $60/game! I...I just can't get over such a thing.

double...............

I can't re-skin the small moon on Coagulation without it getting corrupted! Its pissing me off!

In photoshop, the image is 138x138, but in the game it gets stretched like 2 times bigger! :/ Bleh.

Ugh, more stormy weather's gonna hit tomorrow.

(ignore the caps lock, this is how it is on the official Weather Service's site)

...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 8 PM EDT WEDNESDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PEACHTREE CITY HAS ISSUED A WIND ADVISORY FOR MOST OF NORTH AND CENTRAL GEORGIA...WHICH IS IN EFFECT FROM 10 AM TO 8 PM EDT WEDNESDAY.

A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH AND COLD FRONT WILL MOVE FROM THE SOUTH CENTRAL U.S. INTO THE SOUTHEAST U.S. WEDNESDAY. SOUTHWEST WINDS OF 20 TO 25 MPH WITH GUSTS OF 30 TO 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN ADVANCE OF THIS WEATHER SYSTEM WEDNESDAY MORNING AND CONTINUE INTO THE AFTERNOON...SHIFTING TO THE WEST AT SIMILAR SPEEDS BEHIND THE COLD FRONT DURING THE AFTERNOON. WIND GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA MOUNTAINS.

A WIND ADVISORY MEANS THAT SUSTAINED WINDS OF 20 TO 35 MPH OR WIND GUSTS OF AT LEAST 35 MPH ARE EXPECTED. WINDS THIS STRONG CAN MAKE DRIVING DIFFICULT...ESPECIALLY FOR HIGH PROFILE VEHICLES. USE EXTRA CAUTION.

tl;dr: It's gonna be windy and stormy all day, there'll most likely be severe weather and/or tornadoes at some point as well.

Fun image of the day.

Wrong image size and/or wrong format == corruption

Judging from the first image I would say your ground bitmap is corrupted; its odd thought because those lines are so small; I would have expected them to be much larger. I suppose it could be something else that corrupted; second guess would be your grass bitmap.

Or it could be you where playing with functions and simply fail at them

Or an illume bitmaps perhaps? Could we see a top-down of the entire level perhaps :O

Fuck you, Avalanche. You are a bad map and you should feel bad.

<_>

WTF Bungie... I said a good map >_>

Why in the world did they fuck with the things we all loved about sidewinder? Mainly teleporter whoring, and sniping the dumbasses on the group; oh and let us not forget the ice <_> Fuck I loved the ice >_>

But maybe I am being hasty... no... this is to sidewinder as containment is to coagulation :\

Fuck. Dumb. Stupid.

Hmmm....my opinions are really mixed on this map. It looks a lot different, even though it is a re-make. I know they're working hard on these maps but so far they're not really that fun to play.
