Still packing that abandoned crap together, but I think I've found everything I still have.

h3h3 is a team making videos on YouTube. One was about making modern art.

This contraption (or piece of art) was then offered generously on ebay; and it apparently got sold.

Money like that could go along way to actually helping people instead of this joke.

It's a statement of what our world and it's people have come to, and it's sad.
It's obviously not representative of all of us, but it's still sad.
Even Marilyn Monroe's Dress only sold for 5.6 million:
The bar is continuously set lower.

-obviously people have been feeding them, and they've probably been living off trash as well.
-conclusion. people are assholes and ruin wild things.
But I did come across a coyote in the woods before that behaved a little odd. It was young and I could tell it had never seen a human before. It was standing in the game trail and was watching me come towards it for at least the 50 meters when I'd first noticed it. I walked right up to it (stopped about 2 meters away - not a fan of spooking wild life & getting bit) and it just stood there looking at me trying to figure out what I was. After a couple minutes it decided I wasn't going to do anything, so it walked off into the brush.

Few years ago I worked at a quarry and there was a little nook down there that looked like paradise, an older unused portion of the quarry but still within the confines of the cliffs, even had a nice blue lagoon.
Anyway there was a family of Foxes back there with a den into the rock face like 20 feet away from a water filling station. They were fun to observe, cute little buggers and I became one of the assholes that fed them, lol. I'd bring alittle bit of dogfood or bits of lunch.
The kits ended up getting older and going off into the wilderness, so I didn't spoil them too bad. I can see where Fox racing apparel got their initial logo back in the 70's, Fox heads look exactly like that.
I took a bunch of videos and pictures, I should youtube it sometime.

hand feeding is how we domesticated wolves and lynxes in the first place. It's also a natural event for animals to scavenge the leavings of other animals (& people).
the problems come when either the animal becomes dependent upon the hand-fed scraps and loses its natural foraging skills, or they get 'demanding' when someone doesn't feed them scraps so they end up attacking or biting people. (if an attack happens, then the animal will get put down by park or forest service people).
It's just bad for the animal all the way around. (fuck the people who get bit or mauled - hope they die from infection for fucking with wild foxes and other animals in the first place).

fucking outdoor weekend warriors. stay the hell out of the woods if you don't know what impact your actions have. stick your head in a potted plant if you need some fresh air and greenery.

I just spend ages uploading it, then found that some of the lost textures still exist because I just copied the whole directory when I was testing something else. It will remain abandoned though as I've lost the script and most annoyingly, the CON files for the inventory, doors, AI and a bunch of other stuff that took months to develop are gone forever.
Edit: Another backup, seems one of the templates for the textboxes still exists. I'm still confident the CONs are gone though, but I'm going to have a really thorough search before uploading it now.
To anyone interested in this be warned that with or without the missing CONs, it was a long way from finished and I'm posting it more out of "just because" than anything. Actually, think I'll start a "Trashpile" thread as I have a bunch of leftovers I wont use and while they are unlikely to be of use to anyone else, they might be. At the very least, they serve as a reminder of the importance of off-line backups.
We have the "unfinished content" thread where you can post that stuff.

I really should do some reviews on cgs. If I only just sat down I personally think I could write a respectable review
Forge I know you got some left in the tank :s I hope so
No.

Even though I've done the bulk of the content at CGS, I'm not the official reviewer for the site.
I'm no different over there from a person who just discovered Duke3D yesterday and made an account at CGS this morning.
Unless his policy has changed, Puritan will accept reviews submitted by anyone (as long as you aren't trying to update a map that's already hosted).

I had no idea the holoduke was so useful in dukematch. Place it in front of a door and open it from the side to make it look like the hologram is opening it, then bam.
