Just saying that it would be better with magic, because with magic you just have to wave your arms or say some form of obscure word, and stuff happens. That's the good middle-ground between lot's of thinking, and lots of physical work. Magic ftw!

My condolences Nemesis. My ex had a nasty case of cancer herself. Had the tumor removed years ago though, and so far lucks been with her and it hasn't shown up again.

I wish your girlfriend luck.

Not at all, it means alot to me that people actually care enough to respond to my wish... as sad as it is that is really the only thing i want for christmas... haha i miss the days when I had a huge list of stuff I wanted for christmas and it was always neat to figure out what i got on that list :p

Oh come on El Goorf, The sherman was one of the weaker tanks in WWII wasn't it? If the Tiger Tank shot flames I'd say that'd be your best bet. And it was made (or at least designed) by Porsche I think .

i dont care what you say, when you got load of german anti tank infantry around who insist on pwning your halftracks, and you've chosen armoured company, nothing beats crocodile sherman to help resolve the situation

lol but in Battlefield 1942 when you're faced by a sherman that takes four shots to kill you, as opposed to one or two shots from your tiger, you'll be singing a different song then! lol Tiger pwns all

Those are my favorite emails, lol. I always get them right after I release a new game, at least a handful of emails or yahoo messages from people saying the same sort of stuff. Thankfully with our new game, Real Estate Magnate (shameless plug), I won't be the only TGC member getting hit with mindless emails and IM's

There are plenty of tuts. for modelling in 3D all over the internet.
While they all are for different programs, they can be applied to just about any program. A good place to start is here:
http://www.3dtotal.com/

That site is dedicated to 3DS MAX, but the tutorials are still good for beginners.
Another place is:

http://www.tutorialized.com/

Go to the tab that says '3D GRAPHICS.'

Hope this helps!

Looking forward to spending time with my niece, it's her first Christmas ever.


Nemesis_0_: Congrats, man. My younger sister had cancer as a kid, tumor on the brain. She actually survived it, it was the first operation of it's kind in Norway, and with a low chance of succeeding.
