I'm just still sore from when I got overly excited while playing Burn:cycle and banged my head.

Just came across this neat tumblr

Yeah. That's a little clearer on the box art:

Does anyone know of a good website or app that I can use to make a very large map out of a bunch of images? It's for this DayZ game that a few of use are playing.

The map itself would be fairly large and any service I've found online only lets you do small ones.
At the moment I'm just stitching them together in Photoshop but that probably wont be ideal as the final image would be huge and impossible to open on systems with small amount of RAM. Plus it would be handy to have a zoom-able Google Maps type interface on it.

Small sample of what I'm on about. This is a tiny part of the overall map:

I've been working off this map:

Which seems to use this:

Sorry, only thing I can think of that comes near is Google Maps Downloader, but the source for that isn't open as far as I know.

Could do it in photoshop but then save it as a small format and compress it. Thats what I would do

But would an online panorama maker work for it, might **** it up

That map looks pretty decent actually and much better than any I've seem.
You can see the one I'm working on is a bit more detailed(from the in-game map you find some times). I'll definitely check out that open layers and see if it will work for me.

Cheers

Yeah that's an option. But I think I'll check out that Open Layers link DinoRex posted and see if I can make it interactive and zoomable etc.
Although that one DinoRex linked to is pretty decent on its own and should do most people.

So, you're playing Starfox 64, do you select the animal voices or the creepy human ones
I must play it again before I pick the 3DS revision up again.

Animal voices all the way. Ribbit

I don't think it has aged terribly well though, the bulk of the game no more interactive than Space Harrier.
It isn't as bad as the Star Wars games on the 'cube, the flight controls are awful, of course they seem sublime compared to the on foot sections of Rebel Strike, I still shiver when I think of how lousy that game was.

So much wrong with that setence I don't know where to start!

Not like rail shooters no? Have you played the Sin and Punishment games at all? Panzer Dragoon Games? Rez? Ah man, you're missing out if you don't love em.

Battlefield 3 NES Edition

I was thinking... "I wonder what BF3 would be like with NES sound effects." So I made this.
Sounds are from Contra and Top Gun, music is from Journey to Silius(Title Screen) and Batman(Stage 4 Part 1).
PC Version incase you were going to ask.

Anyone ever see this? (Maybe you all have and I'm late to the party!)

Street Fighter 2 in a Father Ted episode is actually the Megadrive Beta version (the game was then delayed and fixed up as it didn't look so good)

Railshooters are too partisan tbh.

Interesting. I just tweeted Mr Linehan to see if he has any idea :pac:

He's been asked before loads of times and says he hasn't a clue.

Starfox 64 is too great a game for Ciderman to enjoy. It's not mediocre enough :P

Bah! Do you extend that same thinking out to on rail light gun games? You have no taste

Finally! A man WITH taste!

I guess you're right, the pinnacle of gaming to him is what, Firewarrior on the PS2 and driving games without reverse cameras?

At 4:50 long, it still manages to be a better production than 95 percent of the Hoenn anime arc.

I love the little squeak when he/she puts in a new RPG shell, he he.
Still, it sounds superb, nice find!

Now I have to buy BF3!

Yeah, BF3 is worth getting. I enjoy it more than the COD games although I've not played it in a while now.
You need to get in on this DayZ mod for Arma 2 that a few of us are playing, its the shizzle
I'm on day 3 of a life now and it's tough going but worth it.

Agree with this. FPS is not normally my thing but DayZ is brilliant. Playing it the last two nights with some boardsies and it's great fun. Shame the servers are such a pain to get into sometimes though.

Yeah, it's a shame about the servers but I suppose its an alpha release.

The devs of Arma 2 said they'd help out the DayZ modder(who works for them anyway) when they release the next patch for the full game. So not sure what that means but they obviously are happy about the 500 percent increase in sales since this DayZ mod was released.

On a side note, I've been playing Sniper Elite v2 on the PC the last few nights and its great silly mindless fun(with great silly mindless kill shots )

Can't really post some of the kill shots here but this one is fairly harmless:
