<P><B>TNM Quotes - "I don't think even having been there would have helped..."
<P>
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: If we do in fact do that quotes thing like DX did, the guys from the funny farm are gonna come huntin' for some of us.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Well school sucks, that's why we're all here :D
<P>
<P>KronoWolf: Fists are an inherent weapon for humans, unless, you know, you get amputated or were... I dunno... born without hands...
<P>
<P>KronoWolf: Can we give these babies a name, Akimbo is nice, but it's too common...
<P>Jonas: Fire staff isn't exactly original either :P
<P>Admiral Justin: Oooohhhhh wow... fire... and a staff... let's call it pizza!
<P>
<P>KronoWolf: Well, let's see -- Akimbo works, *sigh*, but it would be cooler if we had a name for the signature akimbo TNM weapons.
<P>Admiral Justin: Hows about... 'the really hard to code double gun thingy'.
<P>Jonas: Dual Pistols of Death, Doom and General Destruction(TM)
<P>Admiral Justin: 'You pick up some DPDDGD ammo'.
<P>KronoWolf: Akimbos it is then, you sarcastic bastards ;D
<P>Luminous Path: How about Dual Heavy Pistols?
<P>Admiral Justin: Dual Painmakers of D()()M.
<P>Admiral Justin: DoubleShot mark 1337.
<P>
<P>KronoWolf: We need a Lara Croft launcher -- heheh. Breasts are each warheads -- I'll import the Redeemer code -- lol.
<P>
<P>KronoWolf: YEEEEEEEEEEHAWWWWW!
<P>KronoWolf: Oh baby, oh baby, damn, damn, d-d-damn!
<P>KronoWolf: Oh boys, hahahahahahahaha.
<P>Jonas: Let me take a wild guess: You succeeded.
<P>KronoWolf: Success -- sort of.
<P>Jonas: I must be a psychic.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: *Is thinking of modelling the Mobile Screwdriver Launcher*
<P>
<P>NeoRagnarock: Is there a reason my post number is stuck on 17?
<P>Trestkon: Probably not, as it is now on 18.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Please don't use double spaces. It might be the most correct way of writing, but we haven't done it in all the other convos.
<P>NeoRagnarock: It's a great way to make a report just long enough to pass for two pages.
<P>
<P>Beeblequix: What if these tough hombres are actually wusses? Not just the type who plays "run away!", but wears pink skirts & makeup? They're the weak, the few, the Men In Pink!
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: We have no rifle weapons. What could we do for that?
<P>Beeblequix: Maybe a Negi-Zen gun -- one that makes people feel bad (that way you can just incite the fear of nothing into them)... Imagine hitting Walton Simons with that one, and him falling to his knees permanently depressed.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I suggest making him the leader of the DXI archeologist group, who tells Trestkon about the bomb the WC guys planted in the DXI. You liek?
<P>Jonas: If Beeblequix accepts this part, he'll need a skin with dusty clothes and circular glasses methinks ;P
<P>Admiral Justin: #beeblequix gets a small video player#
<P>Admiral Justin: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to set Trestkon up the bomb. This video player will self-destruct in a random amount of time not to exceed 5 seconds.
<P>ZeroPresence: Heh heh, if you gave me one of those I would probably die because I would be holding it trying to figure out when it would blow up.
<P>Jonas: *Hands ZP a note with the word "turn" written on both sides, just to see...*
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: But if it comes down to it, I'll take on another project without blinking.
<P>Trestkon: That may cause your eyes to become stuck in the sockets, resulting in you having to turn your head to look anywhere, severe neck strain would ensue... please, think of the neck!!
<P>
<P>Jonas: The DXO/PDX war is quite comparable to the Hong Kong triads from DX1. Except this war is even more inane and pointless :D
<P>Beeblequix: Jonas, this should be included as part of the advertising.
<P>
<P>AT Jazz: How about calling it Deus Matrix? Or something like that. Or you can call it Untitled, or maybe help me give it a cool name like those two novels in Deus Ex.
<P>Beeblequix: Call it "Doctor l337d00d - Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Comp."
<P>
<P>That Guy: If someone dies due to a shot from the fattener rifle, they get fat and explode (blame it on nanites).
<P>That Guy: I had something else to say here. Just pretend I said something intelligent and important here and I'll post when I remember it.
<P>That Guy: Oh, that's right. You could still do amusing things with the fattener rifle. Eg. fatten up Hermann before talking to him in the cathedral so you're talking to a behemoth.
<P>That Guy: On second thought, maybe just stick with the non-descript, intelligent, important comment.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Well, it might not look very impressive to see the player battling against impossible odds in the stronghold of the DXO clan... with only 1 person there.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I'm working on the Promo Video! No thyme!
<P>ZeroPresence: No thyme, how about thyme to rhyme?
<P>Trestkon: I like to rhyme, I rhyme all the time!
<P>
<P>Trestkon: If we got paid for this job, I'd be a billionaire! You guys would be half-billionaires.
<P>ZeroPresence: No, I would be a billionaire too... wait, billionaire + half-billionaire, because you would "mysteriously disappear."
<P>ZeroPresence: If you get a package from me ticking... thats my... clock... I sent you.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Remind me to hire someone to take care of firing people when OTP becomes an actual company.
<P>Trestkon: What if we have to fire him?!
<P>
<P>AT Jazz: TNM should have Bullet Time though....
<P>That Guy: Why?
<P>AT Jazz: Because it would be cool, duhhhh :P
<P>That Guy: AT Jazz critically fails persuasion roll.
<P>
<P>That Guy: What can I do about immortal brushes?
<P>That Guy: Trap them in the underworld?
<P>
<P>Radish: Will you have my babies?
<P>That Guy: If I had a penny for every time I got an offer like that I would have one penny. One penny I would want to get rid of as quickly as possible.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Sorry, I was baking a cake.
<P>ZeroPresence: Did I ever tell you... how manly you are?
<P>Trestkon: Well, it's a very manly cake.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I showed my friend around DX:IW today, and I had a chance to check out the quote file.
<P>Jonas: It's so cool that I'm in DX2 :D
<P>Trestkon: Just wait until DX3! I shall have my name plastered across an entire level!
<P>
<P>That Guy: I really don't like drugs. I hate having to try and use them in the most efficient way, saving them for the perfect time, side effects... Most of the time I don't bother with them.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Hey what's the story with TRM?
<P>Trestkon: He's one of those people who suddenly get excited about something but then see a dog with a poofy tail and chase after it instead.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I really don't know why the DX fog sucks so much.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Well... then you could use your helicopter thing (which isn't overly great, but ok) for the low quality video.
<P>Trestkon: I'm sorry, did you mean to say, "(Which is the best thing ever)"?
<P>Jonas: Uhm... possibly.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: We already have a pylon in the package.
<P>Phasmatis: Oh that's good, less work for me then :)
<P>Phasmatis: Hmmm... After actually looking at it... It's a palette jack :-/
<P>Phasmatis: Scratch that, there's something wrong in the script it's actually a traffic cone O_o
<P>
<P>Despot: DEAR GOD, I'M A KARKIAN!
<P>Despot: I thought I was some sort of bat-winged hamburger snatcher...
<P>
<P>Trestkon: In answer to everything: Yes.
<P>Trestkon: Saves me so much time... was it clear enough?
<P>
<P>Trestkon: You'll have to use quicktime to advance individual frames.
<P>That Guy: You know what? I hate you. I think I'll code it so that anyone who tries to use the name Trestkon in TNM starts off with half hitpoints and both legs broken. Then we'll see who needs to use quicktime. And it'll be you. Because.. you'll be recording how much you are losing then watching it frame by frame. Good luck jumping over DXI lava pits with no legs Trestkon. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAaaaaa...
<P>
<P>Hao Niu-rou: Evolution started with a woman bitching "these cave walls are ugly, I don't want to stare at them any longer, I don't care what you put on them but I want to see some colour".
<P>Ryan: And the man slammed her with a club.
<P>Ryan: Thus, police were invented.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Dude, with an average of 10, you can almost be a midwife.
<P>
<P>SymGeosis: Once I joined the army my mind lost the ability to form complete sentences on the fly.
<P>SymGeosis: SYM SMASH!
<P>SymGeosis: Oh shiney!
<P>
<P>Jonas: I have... stuff... to do... tomorrow... or something.
<P>Trestkon: TNM STUFF!
<P>Jonas: Eh, girlfriend-related stuff.
<P>Trestkon: TNM is your girlfriend.
<P>Trestkon: Lavish her with gifts and attention!
<P>Yardbomb: That cheating whore.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: All the subliminal messages are going to be put on the site for the weakened update.
<P>jimmycracker: Weakened update? That doesn't sound like much of an update to me. I'd think you would want to strengthen the update, as opposed to weakening it (that would be more of a downgrade than an upgrade, the way I see it).
<P>Ryan: Dropping typos around jimmy is like fresh meat in a shark pool.
<P>Trestkon: That's not a typo, that's exactly what I meant. We are indeed going to weaken the update, in fact, perhaps we'll just nix the entire site.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: The time has come to talk of many things, of mission scripts and cabbages and kings.
<P>
<P>Beeblequix: *Pokes everyone RIGHT IN THE EYE* Ow! Even got myself...
<P>
<P>CIA World Factbook: Denmark - Disputes - International: uncontested dispute with Canada over Hans Island sovereignty in the Kennedy Channel between Ellesmere Island and Greenland.
<P>Jonas: You hear that, Trestkon!? GIVE ME MY ISLAND, DAMMIT!
<P>Jonas: We saw it before you did!
<P>Trestkon: OUR ISLAND!
<P>Jonas: OUR ISLAND!
<P>
<P>Jonas: The more I write, the more I love myself.
<P>
<P>Hao Niu-rou: I'm sure if I walked into a government building here and asked for some blueprints, they'd think I'm a terrorist, at which point, since I'm living in Canada, they'd give me welfare or something.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I wish our mappers were all unemployed and had nothing better to do than map all day.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Yes, I'm the worst leader ever.
<P>
<P>Metche: I'll give you something as a sweetener for monday Phas :D
<P>Metche: ...the textures I mean ...don't get any funny ideas >:}
<P>Phasmatis: Im looking forward to that sweetener. Lol, funny ideas :o
<P>
<P>OiNutter: \o/
<P>OiNutter: No wait that should be \0/ because my ego is bigger.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Congratulations Jason you're President of Earth. Speak to your people. Try not to say anything stupid like cardboard = teh sexah.
<P>
<P>Jonas: You don't have any modding skills, do you?
<P>OiNutter: Not a single skill. I suck at even opening UEd.
<P>
<P>Metche: ...adding people to MSN is like collecting loyalty card points at sainsburys.
<P>
<P>Admiral Justin: *Raises his hand*
<P>Trestkon: *Raises his hand*
<P>Trestkon: *Raises a flag*
<P>Trestkon: *Raises his dead hamster*
<P>Admiral Justin: *Raises his STR to 18/00*
<P>
<P>Beeblequix: Proposal: we scrap all the rest of our maps and just use this one for all of TNM.
<P>
<P>Shaggy: Hey everyone, looks like I'm gonna be helping to produce sounds and stuff like that for TNM. I don't post on the forums much but feel free to chat to me on MSN or visit my website for my contact details.
<P>Beeblequix: Welcome to TNM. We ROCK.
<P>
<P>Winquman: I'm north of Iceland at the moment.
<P>Jonas: Winquman, you are north of EVERYTHING except some generic penguins.
<P>OiNutter: I loved you in The Thing, Winq.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: ...like "if you turn that corner, a scientist is gonna knock you out then put your head on a chicken" kind of evil...
<P>
<P>That Guy: ...Basically to test if your triggers are working. It gives you a little message if the player is triggered.
<P>Jonas: "You have been triggered by Jackie"... doesn't that sound... mildly kinky?
<P>
<P>Metche: I brandish a GEP gun that I keep in my garter - should ever the need arise.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I noticed you made the window in the MCR open into the caverns. What's the plan there?
<P>Jonas: That's not me, Beeble did that. And I've wondered the same thing...
<P>ZeroPresence: Beeble is funny: "hey... what is this?" "oh I don't know, Beeble did it..." "oh ok."
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Why can't things be easy?
<P>Trestkon: Nothing good is ever easy. Except instant ice tea.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: You know, I've been thinking that the fists really should have their own button as we'd always planned.
<P>Trestkon: I just don't think it seems realistic to not be able to use your fists until you get gloves. I know realism doesn't matter a lot in this mod, but it'd be nice.
<P>Phasmatis: I thought maybe you're just not strong enough to punch people without the gloves *pokes Trestkon's puny arms*
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Cool, I don't know if Jonas has talked to That Guy yet, but I was going to run it by him first since he would be doing all the coding.
<P>Jonas: Yes, let us pile more stuff on the Australian, he's stuck out there in the outback anyway with nothing better to spend his time on :D
<P>
<P>Jonas: Hehehe, we might as well stop trying to hide the fact that we're both on the PDX news team for the sole purpose of pimpin' TNM :D
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Monica is the texture girl and Phasmatis is the modeller.
<P>Metche: "Girl" pffff.
<P>Trestkon: Graphics Woman.
<P>Trestkon: Graphics (whole-lotta) Woman.
<P>
<P>Edd: I got one of those zalman reserators for my GFX and CPU, and I got silent drives for my HDD's, fanless PSU, I just have a fan to cool my HDD's.
<P>Jonas: You have a stealth computer.
<P>Jonas: You could basically bring your computer right along into enemy territory.
<P>
<P>Metche: Gentlemen - I shall take my leave, I have work to do.
<P>Jonas: Have fun working... while I slack.
<P>
<P>OiNutter: I deny myself food and hygiene for TNM.
<P>
<P>Iki: "TNM: Beats you, kicks you when you're down, and sleeps with your sister."
<P>
<P>Jonas: Sounds good, get to work.
<P>Jonas: But actually, maybe you should finish those maps you're working on first.
<P>Trestkon: "Trestkon do the dishes, Trestkon mop the floor, Trestkon finish the maps!"
<P>Jonas: Trestkon, you're the leader of this team, it's my job to tell you what to do... right?
<P>
<P>OiNutter: If croutons aren't pleasurable I don't know what is.
<P>
<P>That Guy: I think we could get a lot of inspiration from that game.
<P>That Guy: And by that I mean we could steal their ideas.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Yes, my sewing skills are 'leet'.
<P>Jonas: Together with the cake quote, that would create a rather gay image of you.
<P>Trestkon: But that WAS a manly cake.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Double post! I curse thee forums! For thou art crap!
<P>
<P>Kevo-sama: You know, tall building, you have to talk him out of jumping or, well, he jumps. Then again, that could get really nasty...
<P>That Guy: If by nasty you mean hilarious.
<P>OiNutter: You are my hero.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Ooh, they'll trigger the alarm if they see a disabled bot?
<P>That Guy: They should, right?
<P>Jonas: Yeah, but it's a great idea.
<P>That Guy: Well it was your idea, so it's not surprising you think so.
<P>Jonas: Oh... right.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: The editor was like "ugh... it's ugh... it's ugh with... with a side of ugh!"
<P>
<P>Jonas: lol, game editors are bound to be the most unstable programs in the world.
<P>ZeroPresence: They have to be, I've never seen anything run that crappy. And I used to be in a programming class, so that's kind of sad.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: In all seriousness though, hacking a mod member's account and demanding files is like kicking over someone's game of monopoly and demanding all the money.
<P>
<P>Metche: I don't flash for fun.
<P>Metche: Erm, Flash program that is.
<P>
<P>Jonas: You know... if you were a hot girl, you would be perfect.
<P>Jonas: That may very well be the most perverted compliment I have ever given any team member... that's an honour.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: Excuse me, I must sing.
<P>MSN: ryan has left the conversation.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Well, he's also our only modeller, so it's not like he's slacking.
<P>ZeroPresence: He makes better models than playboy, ok?
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: *High-fives Jonas*
<P>Jonas: *High-fives back*
<P>Phasmatis: *Hurts hand*
<P>
<P>Metche: I am not violent >:(
<P>Metche: *Incredible Hulk scene*
<P>Phasmatis: Eww my girlfriend is green!
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: OMG. That was the best accomplishment ever.
<P>ZeroPresence: "JC, you saved the world."
<P>ZeroPresence: "ok whatever, I got into that flooded Canal Road."
<P>
<P>That Guy: The best way to get a virus on my computer would be to name it woot.exe.
<P>That Guy: "Woot? That can't possibly be a bad thing."
<P>
<P>Kevo-sama: Yes, I know a few of the buildings are floating currently, but that's because the ground has yet to reach them.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: It's like I'm a feeble old guy and Jonas is my trusty helper monkey.
<P>
<P>Steve Tack: Hehe, I'm still looking for the "build map with no BSP errors" checkbox :)
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: ...while the UC in the sublevel produces like mutants and shit for experiminetatin.
<P>ZeroPresence: Woah. Thats gotta be the biggest typo I've ever seen.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: Been working for er... 3 hours lol. I'll be violating labor laws soon.
<P>Jonas: We don't have labour laws. TNM is the legal equivalent of a third world country.
<P>
<P>That Guy: (after a long conversation with Jonas and Phasmatis where Phas has said nothing at all) I HOPE YOU'RE FOLLOWING ALONG PHAS. THERE'S GOING TO BE A QUIZ AT THE END.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I feel like finishing this mod ALL by myself.
<P>Jonas: I also feel like going to bed... it's a tough choice.
<P>
<P>That Guy: But naked old people really piss me off.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: When I'm an engineer I'll build a bridge and name it "Jonas Sucks".
<P>
<P>OiNutter: I would rather kill myself than store data in txt files.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Well yes, rejection makes you stronger... or bitter, lol.
<P>
<P>King Kashue: And can I ask regarding the mod, when did my hair turn red?
<P>Trestkon: When you failed to submit a voice sample during the 2 year grace period. Wait another year and you'll be wearing a thong and black lace bra.
<P>
<P>Beeblequix: My idea is that when you walk into the portal room, you have four portals on the opposite wall which kind of curve to 4 small wall sections and then come in toward the entrance like an ice cream cone, only theres no ice, no cream, and no cone.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: WTF is jet setting? Do you set jets on the floor, then laugh as they rocket in random directions?
<P>
<P>That Guy: I mean, it's a fair assumption that the internet was invented by a group of fat sweaty men who didn't want to have to wear a shirt when they talked to people.
<P>That Guy: I know I wouldn't.
<P>
<P>Troupe: HAY GUYZ WATS GOIN ON IN HEAR!?1
<P>Sensei: Way to be 12.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Note that I have no idea what hard coded means, but damn if it doesn't sound cool.
<P>
<P>Kevo-sama: Phas has some excellent hands, I'd PM him for assistance.
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: Strange... I can never use mods... from the thousands of mods for DX out there (notice my attempt to make a joke) only 3 or 4 actually work.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: After dozens and dozens of recompiles and code changes I am now insane.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: OMG, I *really* want to hit you with a paper weight.
<P>AT Jazz: My masculine physique is so fine that when you pick up the paper weight to throw at me, it'll turn into dust and fly away.
<P>Kevo-sama: I'd have to say that it'd be more like your masculine musk, and yes, that would dissolve an ox.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Well it seems that if adding a cube to a map causes BSP errors, then adding a prefab that big is likely to cause seizures.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I think he's in some sort of a stand-by. Waiting for divine inspiration to hit him or something? Let's hope it doesn't knock him out...
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Were you to beat the odds (about 50:1) and actually finish the mod you would discover that people are no longer interested in DX, because they are playing Half Life 6.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Jeez Phas, you're from England. You guys invented the language. Work it out.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: I personally think I'm too inexpericened for his mod anyway apparently his team are really good.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: Wait, did I send you pr0n named DXMP_Map by accident?
<P>
<P>Whoever: I was asking a question. Nothing wrong with that, right?
<P>That Guy: Wrong. The hit is in 17 hours. Make your time.
<P>Jonas: Come on, don't threaten to hire contract killers to take out our fans. That's bad for business.
<P>That Guy: Jonas I already hired one killer today and it's cheaper if I bulk purchase. Don't make me angry.
<P>
<P>Grub: Sorry for saying this, but whenever I hear frob, I think nasty, dirty things.
<P>Jonas: Frob is a perfectly legit modding term.
<P>Grub: I know that, but when I hear frob, I just get this mental picture...
<P>Grub: (Activate Convo when Prostitute frobs Paying Customer)
<P>
<P>LeoBad: I'm the physical expression of the word exhausted.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: What you have is the most detailed "design doc" we have. However, on the FTP we have all the conversations and such. A lot of it also tends to reside in Jonas' head...
<P>
<P>That Guy: All your carcasses extend genericpawn?????????
<P>Jonas: No, f00, all my generic pawns.
<P>That Guy: ok, just checking.
<P>Jonas: Yeah, with like 10 question marks.
<P>That Guy: Well I wanted to be sure, if I just put one you could have just gone "yeah tha's right".
<P>Jonas: Oh yeah, I could've accidentally lied to you if you'd only used 1.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Actually the new sounds in TNMDeco are for the radish 3000 and the hand dryer the spork and katana are done but they're in TNMItems and haven't been uploaded yet.
<P>That Guy: Spot the end of sentence :P
<P>
<P>Jonas: Is it fine that your character will be a pacifist?
<P>Phasmatis: Hmmm, well I would prefer him to shoot everything on sight but story wise sure.
<P>Jonas: I thought you were the non-lethal type.
<P>Phasmatis: NO!!! *shoots Jonas for saying that* see?
<P>
<P>Vavrek: I'll smile throughout the PDX HQ...
<P>Jonas: Then don't ally yourself with WorldCorp. Then you're gonna have a damn hard time keeping up that smile while King Kashue is fraggin' you for the 10th time ;)
<P>Vavrek: Why would I ally with WordCorp? As you said, I'd have KK on my ass and damn that sounds wrong.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: HL still gets mods in PCGamer. We can accuse them of Gamism.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I try to keep my modding life separate from my social life. So I'm probably not going to be asking all the girls I know to voice act in my mod. I may talk to a few though.
<P>Jonas: lol, don't ask anyone you plan to hit on.
<P>Trestkon: "So, you want to come back to my house and... voice act for my mod?"
<P>
<P>That Guy: I've been 'that guy' ever since I switched from 'Me'.
<P>Grub: How deliciously original.
<P>
<P>That Guy: I had a bad crotch clawing experience when I was a child.
<P>
<P>Grub: Good news is, you've been accepted as LlamaMan.
<P>Grub: Bad news is, there is no bad news, which means that we're due for some really bad news.
<P>Grub: I've got some more good news. I don't believe in that sort of thing. So we're gonna be okay :)
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: I made a crucifix in a level that basically looks like it came from hell.
<P>Grub: FROM THE CREATORS OF BUDDHA'S BLOODY REVENGE COMES... CRUCIFIX FROM HELL: JESUS' RAMPAGE!
<P>Grub: (Also, see Muhammad's Two Pines Massacre and Marklar's Full Wonton Killage - FROM OFFENSIVE CORP!)
<P>
<P>Metche: But but but... I'm a geek too! (I'm reading PHP right now for goodness sakes)
<P>Jonas: Yeah, but you're a woman.
<P>That Guy: You have to try extra hard to reach geek levels we can attain by merely not shaving and storing pizza cheese in our facial hair.
<P>
<P>That Guy: I actually think I know why that is.
<P>That Guy: *I actually have no idea why that is.
<P>That Guy: ...typo.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: That's quite a nice map you have going there. It raises the obvious question: why aren't you working for us?
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: Okay, the plan (updated version): Phas gets me one of the Trestkon gun-pointing renders. I make a banner that says "blah, offer you can't refuse." Third: we get rich.
<P>Ricemanu: Did I forgot anything?
<P>Jonas: Uh, the fame.
<P>Phasmatis: And the women!
<P>Jonas: Shush you, you already got one.
<P>Phasmatis: Yeah, but I'm greedy.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Like I said to Trestkon, this reminds me how damn fast you are when you don't have to reinvent the wheel.
<P>That Guy: I could invent the wheel in a flash, it's when I have to take the wheel and turn it into a hovercraft that I take time.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: For some reason I'm in love with this brick wall. It's like "Booya! I'm a big-ass brick wall" and I'm like "yesir."
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: We are modern hacker vikings.
<P>Ricemanu: We are like Neo just with long red beards and a big helmet.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: It all comes down to the 8-ball on my desk. He's the real power behind this mod.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Hey Troupe.
<P>Troupe: Oh shit. *Runs*
<P>
<P>Grub: And it's always good to have a consonant be one of the last sounds of the doom.
<P>Grub: Er, name. Like Doom for instance. Damn you Sigmund Freud!
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Banner ad = priority.
<P>Jonas: Bah. "Don't waste your time on the mod content people, we need to get to work on the MARKETING!"
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Go mod something else!
<P>
<P>Trestkon: First rule of TNM - Nobody can have the same MSN font colour!
<P>
<P>That Guy: It would be like if I was experimenting with a new piece of code which was supposed to make enemies crouch but instead formatted my C drive.
<P>
<P>That Guy: Message from Trestkon: "Yes, if the PCGamer guy emails us anytime today while Jonas is up and requests more screenshots of something, please ask Jonas to send them to him."
<P>That Guy: From the horse's mouth. Not that Trestkon is a horse. I don't care what he told you, he is -not- a horse.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Oh yes I agree, I won't take all the credit... just most of it :P
<P>
<P>Jonas: I remember having questions for you. I don't remember what they were.
<P>Trestkon: When you remember them, apply answers in this order: "yes, no, ask Shane, shutup!"
<P>
<P>Jonas: Do not distract our only active musician!
<P>Jonas: Sensei said you've been trying to recruit him :P
<P>Grub: Ages ago. Ages ago. We already got someone anyway. Thanks though messaging me, lol.
<P>Grub: It's like messaging Genghis Kahn and saying, "Stop rampaging!" It's ancient history.
<P>
<P>Jim: How is "Trestkon" pronounced anyway? Friggin weirdo had to give himself the weirdest damn name ever.
<P>
<P>Jim: Damnit Jonas, you have failed to remind yourself that you need to remind me to finish my lines!
<P>Jim: It is not my job to remind you to remind yourself to remind me to finish my lines!
<P>
<P>Jonas: Once we've disposed of all the items on the graphics list, it's all filling left. And anything else you feel is missing as you look at our levels. And, more importantly, stuff WE feel is missing.
<P>Ricemanu: Why do I feel that every time you say we, you just mean Trestkon and you.
<P>Jonas: I don't know. In actual fact, all I mean is "I".
<P>
<P>Jim: My head is being scratched. By my hand, in curiosity.
<P>
<P>Jim: Where's the coder?
<P>Jonas: In Australia.
<P>Jim: No no, I mean that guy who does the coding.
<P>ZeroPresence: He's seriously in Australia, lol.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Here's my philosophy: Totally disregarding the contemporary or seemingly changeless needs of society and instead relentlessly pursuing The Dream in blatant ignorance of all perceived consequences.
<P>Jonas: I may end up living in a gutter with a full 10-year education and no job, but at least I tried!
<P>Trestkon: Well, you can always be my butler.
<P>Jonas: Sounds good!
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Why do I go to our website, like, 10 times a day?
<P>Trestkon: Do I suspect the mod might finish and release itself without telling me?
<P>
<P>Trestkon: As far as getting your prize goes, we can ship it as soon as I have your address. I'd also like to thank you for living as far away as physically possible ;-)
<P>
<P>That Guy: I'm going to save up all my big ass spiders just in case you do come.
<P>
<P>ZeroPresence: Actually, I think my lights are less polies than his.
<P>ZeroPresence: ...that sounds so weird to say.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Jim ain't responding :(
<P>Jonas: *Pokes Jim in the stones*
<P>ZeroPresence: You never said that, right?
<P>Jonas: AHA, there he is. See, it helps.
<P>ZeroPresence: Remind me to ALWAYS be here when you IM me.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: Seriously though, it's super awesome for us to see that our three fans have nothing better to do than refresh the site all day. Keep up the good work guys, we appreciate it!
<P>
<P>That Guy: Do you have any objections to using the spider model itself for the projectile? The alternative would be to have a canister which unfolds to form a spider bot. I think Phas would rather eat a cat.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Bleh, I can't think of a colour to use for the spidey weapon mod :S
<P>That Guy: Black. That's how you know it's awesome.
<P>Jonas: Meh... black will not be visible.
<P>That Guy: Are stealth bombers visible? No. Awesome? Yes.
<P>That Guy: Submarines? Vampires? ZeroPresence? Chameleons? Ghosts?
<P>
<P>Jonas: I googled "spider" in the image search engine, which as it turns out was a really bad idea for somebody with extreme arachnophobia.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: YOU DON'T KNOW ME!
<P>Jonas: Yeah, we do.
<P>ZeroPresence: We can text message your phone. We know all.
<P>ZeroPresence: Hey, put that back.
<P>Trestkon: :o
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I imagine we'll spend a lot of time tweaking the city maps during the Alpha phase.
<P>Jonas: Probably, but a thing such as the size of the map is really difficult to tweak :(
<P>Trestkon: Good thing we're very clever.
<P>
<P>Whoever: Trestkon vs. Treskton - whoever wins, we lose.
<P>Trestkon: *Bursts out of someone's stomach*
<P>That Guy: MY STOMACH!!!
<P>
<P>Jonas: You have a startling ability to make me feel like a n00b.
<P>OiNutter: That's what I'm here for.
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: I am insulted by the fact that I am not on the strike list :P
<P>Jonas: Uh... you can't map.
<P>Ricemanu: You never asked me to map (but I really can't).
<P>
<P>Trestkon: I can't wait to hear your theme :D
<P>Leo: It's already finished.
<P>Jonas: *Does a little happy dance*
<P>Trestkon: *Does a slightly larger happy dance*
<P>
<P>Phasmatis (Jun 03, 05 - 3:00 AM): To be honest there really isn't anything I can do about the silencers and the clips, just another stupid limitation of the engine.
<P>Phasmatis (Jun 03, 05 - 5:48 AM): Thanks to Shane I have managed to correct the clip not showing up before the silencers are attached.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: You see, we lack something called 'willpower'. This means that whenever a good idea that seems perfectly reasonable comes our way, someone from the team inevitably drops what they're doing and brings the idea to fruition. (THAT DOG HAS A POOFY TAIL!!)
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: Foobar sounds strange I'll go for Winamp.
<P>Jonas: lol, Foobar is great though, it can play anything, and it has no nonsense.
<P>Phasmatis: Hmmm ok then what's the url? I'm not going to call it Foobar though. From now on it is called Phasmatis' wonderful music player.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: They do it on CSI all the time, and that show makes more money than we can shake a stick at.
<P>ZeroPresence: Actually... I am quite experienced in shaking sticks at a variety of things.
<P>
<P>Chris: Oh my god I think I'll explode if he's not bashed.
<P>Chris: Priority list: Put decorations in server room #1, Bash Shawn, Take a piss, Eat, Cure Cancer.
<P>That Guy: Cancer's pretty far down your list man.
<P>Chris: Yeah. Because of people like Shawn.
<P>
<P>Jonas: Let's face it: Making Ded jealous is one of the primary goals of TNM ;)
<P>
<P>Ryan: It is actually possible to maintain somewhat of a social life and help out here. But you'll get Jonas kinda pissed over in the process.
<P>Pointman: Yeah, I know that. Quote Jonas: "SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK".
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: Is it so hot in your Canadian igloo that you have to sit topless in front of your PC?
<P>Trestkon: Shirts were banned in Canada due to the inflammatory imagery featured on many of them :-(
<P>
<P>Ryan: Reasons UEd quits on me are usually: A light is in negative space; I have referenced too many different textures out of too many different texture packs; My girlfriend comes over.
<P>
<P>Pointman: Basically, I'm your Robin and I can wax your car, if you wish.
<P>Pointman: Just don't tell me it's a 200 foot long airplane.
<P>Grub: ...it's a 199 foot airplane.
<P>Pointman: Ok. I'm on it.
<P>
<P>Jonas: HEY! Do you have all our packages and maps installed!?! :o
<P>OiNutter: Um I uh...
<P>OiNutter: Hey look over there!!
<P>
<P>That Guy: The AI is what us coders like to call "shit".
<P>
<P>That Guy: Real life may have awesome graphics but the quests sure are monotonous.
<P>
<P>Ricemanu: You're like Zorro, just with a poke stick instead of a sword.
<P>
<P>Jonas: But hey, if you're already putting TNM stuff in the map, you should use the CeruleanGuard characters rather than the rent-a-cops.
<P>Phasmatis: I put the rent-a-cop in as it felt lonely without someone in there.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: And it doesn't help that UnrealEd is the most annoying piece of crap programme in the world.
<P>
<P>That Guy: When I say hang on it's best that you continue talking to me so I don't forget you're there.
<P>
<P>Phasmatis: I would also like to point out that one... yes just one! Of the combine guards have more polies than the ATC map.
<P>
<P>That Guy: It sounds like you just broke up with Kevo. "Kevo I think you're a really great person but I think we should see other mods."
<P>
<P>Jonas: Wish I could pay people for their work on TNM so I could cut their salary when they slack.
<P>
<P>Pointman: There's a place in Hell with your bindname, you know that, Jonas?
<P>
<P>OiNutter: Actually Jonas doesn't even know what TNM is. He has people who know that for him.
<P>
<P>Cheater: What are you guys talking about?
<P>Jonas: The Nameless Mod.
<P>deus: I heard The Nameless Mod was like stew, the longer it cooks, the better it gets.
<P>Jonas: Hm, that bot is smart.
<P>
<P>Jonas: I think it's bad PR to become the angry old men of the modding community.
<P>Jonas: "I HAVE AN IDEA!"
<P>Jonas: "You can't do that."
<P>Jonas: "*Cries*"
<P>
<P>Torsten: Any projectile not launched from a manly jaw with neckbreaking force is a load of sissy liberal girl's babble!
<P>
<P>Jonas: By the way, if UEd had been programmed by competent people, TNM would've been done half a year ago.
<P>
<P>Trestkon: You know, every time we add new content, some kind of insanely cute and innocent baby animal goes blind and falls off a cliff to its death.
<P>Jonas: Just you wait, the day we release TNM, a surge of awesomeness (possibly in the form of brightly shining lasers!!) shall emerge from our collective fanbase and SWEEP the valley into which all these insanely cute and innocent baby animals have fallen... and they shall be resurrected from their deaths and once more roam the elysian fields!
<P>Trestkon: We make good quotes :P
<P>Jonas: Hell yeah.
