He must be [i]so fucking rich[/i]

[QUOTE=BigJoeyLemons;39421942]He must be [i]so fucking rich[/i][/QUOTE] IIRC he's worth around 1.5 billion.

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;39421955]IIRC he's worth around 1.5 billion.[/QUOTE] Is that in USD or Pounds?

See everyone makes jokes about Gaben, but in the end, hes the one laughing.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;39422263]Is that in USD or Pounds?[/QUOTE] Most likely USD.

Valve is an American company, so I would imagine USD.

What're you talking about? It's obviously pesos.

¥1,500,000,000

[QUOTE=aussiedropbear;39421955]IIRC he's worth around 1.5 billion.[/QUOTE] He's worth every penny.

[QUOTE=UntouchedShadow;39426682]He's worth every penny.[/QUOTE] Seeing a company grow is worth the wait.

[QUOTE=glitchvid;39420707]Rainbow is because whomever compiled didn't use -final. Also, it looks like your gamma is a bit messed up.[/QUOTE] If I could record some video, you would see that somehow the gamma is terribly messed up. I'll take some more pictures.

the term you are looking for is normal map

i was informed the two are interchangeable. once again i may have been misinformed.

Found it.... [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/U6eTbsY.png[/IMG] I feel like such a creeper, sorry Gabe...

[QUOTE=DevinWatson;39430046]"I'm not going to say anything about Half-Life 3..." :([/QUOTE] So it is half life 3?

[QUOTE=Roger Waters;39429690]i was informed the two are interchangeable. once again i may have been misinformed.[/QUOTE] The texture is a bump map, but the process it is used for is called normal mapping.

[QUOTE=Roger Waters;39428895]some real nice bumpmap work(?) there. pity that source hates anything remotely phong-related and makes it jaggy to fuck.[/QUOTE] That can be caused by the DX compression used on the textures, or you forgetting to mipmap them.
