Nice Desktop Riven mate. I see you got some good games there. If only I started reddawn now, I could use the source engine. Ohh the pain.

Does it take longer to compile hl2 maps?

Yes, for the most part, I believe it does... a lot longer

No offense aaron, what are the perks of WMP, apart from drms and ram consumption. *Rolls eyes* It's no better than itunes. Personally I use VLC, super quick, not much ram consumption, simple interface. I'm an efficiency freak though, so you can ignore me now..

Theres nothing to 'extra' about windows media player, although its nice how you can copy audio cd's to your computer with it and stream live radio. Its more of the fact that there is nothing wrong with it. No bugs, no glitches. It does its job. Playing music.

About the bar on the right side of my desktop. It's a handy app from Google called 'Google Desktop'. It installs that little bar on the right, and there are hundreds of little modules that you can just add to it. I have a clock, a scratch pad, GMail, a google search, and a wikipedia search. Great tool.

And thanks to that link I got, my new wallpaper is this one.

WMP absolutely blows....No bugs my ass.

winamp for music, VLC for videos is the way to go.

Riven, I love what you did to the shadows in that map <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif"> I take it you had the lightmap grid scaled down to something such as 2? 'Tis a pity that large scale maps can't take advantage of shadows like that, for framerate reasons :/

Oh I know, that map alone which is just comprised of that scene took like 6 minutes to compile, no HDR. Normally it would compile in less than 30 seconds, but yea, the grid was at 2 for most of it. Just wanted to see what Source could do...
