I played through GTA6. Total time was ~39.5 hours. I bet that one could run through in ~35 or so if you didn't fuck around quite so much as I did.

Subversion and externals: forcing externals to a particular date/revision

2008-05-07T03:59:33Z

Subversion notes from irc.freenode.net2#svn:

[outofrange] My problem is we have svn-externals and we always want the most current checkout from that -- so no rev numbers in svn-externals.
[simoncion] Oh
[outofrange] So now I want to go back in time [with both my repo and the external repo (ed.)] -- but just using -r 1234 on my repo won't cause my externals to magically go back in time.
[simoncion] Right
[simoncion] Hmm.
* simoncion doesn't know.
[outofrange] I suppose I could use -r {date} on both my repo and the externals.
[simoncion] I wonder if you could to an svn update -r $DATE inside the folder that the externals are dumped in?

My advice turns out to be exactly what he needed to do.

Time-lapse video of the assembly of a Boeing 777.
Might wanna turn off yor speakers, as the background music is kinda irritating.

However, let me take this moment to mention that it'd be really dumb to leave Iraq now.
We've spent a lot of time and money building a permanent base in the country. We're not (ever?) going to leave all that behind.

Mmkay.
So, day 1 of the new Medic achievments and loadout! It's kinda like the Valve folks sat down and said "What are really fun ways to play as a Medic that people aren't doing? How do we get 'em to try playing this way?"
Medics are playing a *bit* differently today. There are *way* more medics on the field. (It seems like 1 medic per 1.${SOMETHING} combat players works *really* well.) They are *way* more likely to engage in melee combat. (The bonesaw [the medic's melee weapon] is *KILLER* in close quarters. Also, that puts more medics in your face, so you have a chance to smash their heads in!)

Wooo-ooo-oot!

As a Pyro, you can often set enemies on fire and retreat, leaving them to die from the burning.

OH, THE BURNING!
