Hell yes. Except, I can't stand meat in fried rice. But, it's pretty easy to make fried rice. Get a seasoning for it, then cook some rice the night before (leave it covered) sit it in the fridge overnight, then prepare as to the packages directions. (If you want it pre-made, find a Lotus somewhere. They make the best 'fast-food' version. Happy Panda and Panda Express just suck)

But, Speaking of shrimp, the shrimp at Go-Go's is so good. Everything there is fresh too.

I think its boring around here because Underdog is now part of our group, and he ask stupid questions about why do you think its boring around here, and then hijacks his own thread in an ill attempt to look cool. Oh wait thats not an option.

Dang it I did it again.. sorry.. let me go meditate some more..

HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MAYBE If I CHANT HARDER.... HUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Which group, and am I a member?

I think I've figured out why he's been going on about Orph and acting all Mr Sassy Pants. He wants to become the new Orpheus... IS Orpheus (as already suggested by Fishy).

I don't particularly think the Snarkpit has gone boring. There has been a high volume of pointless polls etc. of late, and some questionable content (Windows 98....) - but it's still the same old Snarkpit.

As has been previously mentioned, part of the problem lies with HL2 and the amount of time required to make a map - and the difficulties in creating custom content now. I know you (Underdog) said about a lot of the maps you have enjoyed the most used standard HL resources, but it's much more rewarding to create something that uses nearly all-new content - and nigh on impossible to fulfill a vision with the same only concrete walls. E.g how would I go about creating an Egyptian temple with the textures provided to me as standard in HL?

Personally, I just don't have the time or drive to map at the moment (mortgage & house to maintain, kitten that needs watching 24/7 so it doesn't destroy everything, full-time employment etc.)

Also, don't assume that all the 'old regulars' have left. We may not post, but we still read it all <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Any who are against lasagna, haven't had the kind my grandma makes. That's enough to convert asia.

Actually, I hate lasagna. The noodles never seem to cook correctly. I do however prefer rice over noodles so that may be part of the problem.

If (as this thread seems to be insinuating) I need to be cool to be here. My chances are not to good.

Specify Mr. Reno. Both Wilson and I are having this conversation.

Hopefully this page will post properly. Note all the noodles.

Looks like lasagna to me, but I would never have thought they were called "lasagna noodles". Noodles makes me think string, not sheet <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

Oh God. There are so many noodle types that the string one no longer stands a chance in the States.

I suppose my favorite is Rigatoni. They are hard to make but worth it if you succeed.

E.g how would I go about creating an Egyptian temple with the textures provided to me as standard in HL?

Why do I always get the impression that I failed somehow? This has gone on long enough that even I do not understand what I meant to say anymore.

Let me begin anew:
I do not particularly feel that stock maps are best. I do think however that creating a good map using stock textures would be much more difficult, and as such, the window for success would be much smaller. I feel that you should use all the tools given you in making any map, but to rely on props to bring the map "together" is not exactly wrong, but shows a lack of creativity. I still contend that given the circumstances, if you made the same map that was identical in every way that it would be more difficult to succeed using the HL1 engine than the HL2 engine. No, I am not attempting to say that the maps made for HL2 will be easy, just that the limits are much higher and it would take longer to reach them.

Perhaps where the confusion lies is, people expect more details now. Why? because the engine can deliver them. Now, given that its expected, its now harder to create maps for HL2 because the public is much more cognizant of where you failed to deliver. In the HL1 days, if anyone took the time to turn on R_Speeds 1, they would know where and why you omitted something. Now it just looks like you got lazy and decided against dedicating the time to make your map look its best.

So we are left with this:
Is HL1 mapping harder? NO!
Is it more difficult to map and stay within the boundaries of the engine? YES!

Those were my only points. I hope that they are clear now.

It's actually pasta, not noodles, that is used in lasagna. Noodles are more of an Asian style, where pasta is Italian. That should make it a bit clearer for people.
