There's too much minecraft hype around. What exactly is the thing that keeps people digging?
Tried it for like few hours and never understood why waste time. It's just a... level editor (with insanely difficult user interface which substitutes as a "game") without a real game to make maps for.

Wouldn't it be more fun to make a map for a real game, say, Team Fortress 2 and actually enjoy playing it with buddies?
You know, real game as one with challenges, objectives and rewards?
Or heck, even build a house in Sims 3?

Meh, I must be getting old. Don't get those things people play nowadays

Eh, not worth forum drama anyway. Let's start annual politics & religion thread!
I can start with some highly politically incorrect claim

To assume that anyone who defends women's rights is some how 'white knighting' is *even more* insulting that the stereotypical bullshit you were espousing earlier.

Being insulted due some guy saying something on internet not about you is of course totally not white knighting.
I think that people who get insulted by all kinds of irrelevant shit are sissies and should grow balls. This is absolutely not tied to what the topic is, just in general, be it politics, religion or any other hot topic. If it's not your ballpark and you're treating "the victim(s)" as any of them ask for your fucking whiny help, well...
as for stereotyping, I don't truly see any laws against it. What are YOU afraid of? So what even if someone did the "black people" version? Did black people ask you to defend them? Are you black? Woman? Jew? Muslim? Bodyguard of God? <etc discussion victim here> Or whatever other example! Mind your own business.
I'm honestly sorry that you happened to be that guy

White knight now has balls.
White knight has vanished.

You guys are *terrible*.

Stop with the "most women are like this" bullshit.

Replace the word "women" in some of your posts with "black people" and see how they look.

BAWWW
A white knight appears!

Assuming you're "innocent" party in this story,

1) Tell her to gtfo and ignore any further communication. She will give you more and more temper due not having your attention, but if you hold your ground (not by arguing but being silent) and ignore her, she'll resign over some time. Say a single word, and you are back on square one. TEXTING INCLUDES COMMUNICATION, so don't ever respond, whatever insulting trash she might text

The probable reason for her "so mad" actions is to provocate you to yell and get angry. Why? Because she has bit of guilt for what she did and like any woman, she wants you to ease it by getting you to be a dick yourself so she could justify dumping you in her little, dumb head.

2) Forget about T-shirt, this is total BS
3) Live on.

If signing that weird testimony is all they can hold against you, any lawyer could rip them a new one.
Sue.

Better would be to find a lawyer who can just counsel and tell if it's worth it. AGS forums is probably not it.
You might end up on a settlement and some pocket money, plus your games back.

Another tip I wanted to add about getting a better job:

Lie!
Let's say you're trying to get a position at newspaper. Boss is almost at the point in hiring you but you don't have any experience and things are going south, getting this "weeeellll..." attitude.

Instantly make up a story about your uncle who manages a small newspaper in some other state and how you unofficially worked for him during summers or something. This is a story that's hard to check, doesn't guarantee that you have alot of experience and might hit the final nail. So you'd be adding a bit of hope, but no promises to your resume.

Afterwards, just fake it till you make it. Truth is, nobody who graduates, doesn't know squat really. Sure, you might become a doctor via school but for example, you cannot learn to become a salesman or something like this. You graduate, get a job and understand that school gave you only a tiniest base and idea what's ahead and most of the learning actually comes from real work.

That's why experience outweighs papers heavily in almost every profession at job market.

* Best advice given so far: learn to cook! I read that you can do this already, so you have one of strongest bases covered.

It's unbelievable how much you can save by cooking your own meal, because you can eat leftovers next day and although cost of setting up good amount of ingredients (from flour to sugar to eggs, etc), it'll pay off later as you get loads of variety for same amount of money you'd spend on instant noodles and food is actually more nutritious and tasty.

When not cooking food, look what you buy. Or more specific, look for calories and minerals. Instant noodles might be cheap, but nutritional value is almost nonexistent, and filled-feeling is best you get out of it.

* Jobs. Walking past that big newspaper/publishing/IT firm office building every day? Have you ever wondered what would happen if you simply march in and say "hello, I'm young, honest and hard-working, good with computers and this and that, do you have something for me to do?". Even if they hire you as something insignificant, such as courier, you can befriend co-workers and pick up a better paid trade.

3 of my jobs started like this. Not by an ad, employment office or website, just trying.
Because... what did I have to lose? "No" then "no". It's not like it makes me poorer. And now I have a career in something I initially had no prior idea about and zero qualification/papers to show, but became quite an expert after 3 years.

This works better with big companies where's always an extra worker in need. Infact, even if you land on a position that's also advertised as opening, you have an advantage to be physically THERE JUST WHEN NEEDED and saving boss from going through hundreds of CVs and resumés thus nullifying all the recommendations/education/experience others have if you'd send CV and wait just like others. Believe me, this shit works better than you might think. Just try.

For example, my first job, at a transportation firm:
My ex-girlfriend, while she was studying, had a summer practice at one of the offices and me, being unemployed and nothing better to do anyway, always went there at the end of the day to go home together. One day, I asked her boss for something to do and... ended up in same profession, full-time, that my GF was studying/practicing... only that she had to study 3 more years to acquire papers to do same damn thing I ended up on just by asking with no papers whatsoever... god she was pissed

For simple adventure game, Game Maker is solid enough. Because you don't have to learn a whole new language, just a tiny bit of logical script commands, very similar to AGS and understandable to human being (unlike most C-like programming languages which are not).

You can create a whole engine in an evening or two, and with alot of evenings, even use 3D models for characters.
It's getting iOS, PSP and Android porting capabilities in near future too, as long as your game is simple enough, but publishing for those platforms have to go directly through Yoyogames (they recieve a cut)

Condolences, man. Kids are terrible. I wish you all three the best aswell.

Anyone know how to change diapers? Oh god, someone HELP ME!!!!!!! lol J/K.

Actually worry not, women come with manual embedded into their brain. No lie!

I'd love to see Operation UFO succeed. 

Honestly, new Worms has even less content and fun factor than 3MB version back in 1995 did.
Maybe the size comes from shitty multiplayer game browser and "improved", non-cute worms graphics.

I've seen that one.
But it's slow as hell and looks quite bad. Compared to Unity viewer, it's like day and night.

Videos maybe?

No that's not it. I want to

turn leaf into batch of leaves, which means basically, spray same leaf around while it changes a bit of brightness, has random rotation and size

Can you define custom brush in photoshop so it's texture is still intact?
I want use photograph of tree leaf and scatter & rotate it around like any custom brush, but I want it's texture to stay intact instead of being replaced with single color.

It looks awesome (love specular, normal, etc maps! although there's no zoom feature) and just as simple and non-frightening as I wanted... but I don't think it's legal to use and maybe limited to Unity model format only.

What I need player for is for portfolio so don't even need so high-class mapping features.
