Off Topic / How to walk quietly on a carpet during the night?

« on: January 11, 2013, 12:16:31 PM »

I know this sounds weird, but I heard that it helps to squeeze some of the muscles surrounding your bladder for better balance + general silence. Trouble is the carpet latches violently to anything that comes in contact with it, so each step I take lasts about 10 seconds. Is there any odd method/secret ancient chinese art/ghetto street knowledge you can fill me in on so that I can remain unheard in the shadows?

Off Topic / If you were a part of the Secret Police...

...and you were instructed to organize an 'accident' for a specific person's death, how would you go about doing it?

possible targets might include:
 - your siblings
 - your nemesis
 - obama

i personally would keep it simple and release all sources of gas within the school, then throw a short match inside the lab room. no specific persons, just the majority of people at my school basically.

Help / Visibility of Shadows

« on: December 04, 2012, 08:48:07 AM »

I'm creating a map that revolves around shadows (or general darkness); I was wondering if shadows were not integrated or unavailable for certain players (perhaps because of their settings or inept computer). If in fact you can disable shadows in BL, is there a method of enforcing it on your server?

I also can't seem to find the difference between the shaders and the shadows (I'm not even sure if I have seen shaders in BL -- integrated Intel HD 4000 graphics, 1.90GHz if any of that info helps). Maybe it's automatically disabled for me.

Off Topic / Good Keyboard?

« on: December 03, 2012, 08:46:31 AM »

Need one for my laptop/desktop, gonna get one for Christmas.

I really like the DAS ones, but they're expensive as hell ($100+). I need that 'clickity-clack' because my current keyboard just doesn't cut it.

Also numpads help a lot for BL.

I'll scream.

Off Topic / Your Optimal Sleep Time and Hours

« on: November 30, 2012, 07:11:15 AM »

Everyday: 12:30AM

Best # of Hours: 4-5

Anywhere in the range of 7+ I feel exhausted for the majority of the day. Then I'm constantly thinking at night which prevents me from sleeping earlier.
