More newish concept art

Thanks JohnnyBeverage.

And Ians, I got the basic thing off the net, then supersized it :). It looked like this one before I got my greedy hands on it heheh.
 
I've made quite a nice new wallpaper with that concept pic. Don't have webspace to host it tho and cant be arsed to get some free space so someone PM me if they want it or want to host it and I'll send it to you. It's 1024x768 btw.
 
I think #3 is going to make its way to my desktop tonight. I'm going to put one of them on my comp at work also. Thanks for the good work.
 
um...that shot is pretty old, it's in the first preview on PCG released a year ago.... I've had that shot in the binder where I keep my fan fiction since august
 
Well, the secret/ dir has inspired me :).
Do any of you remember from last year when we were plunging about in directories like http://www.valvesoftware.com/gabe (gone now) and others for secret things? And we found those pictures of the knives?

Well, I wrote a python program to probe for new files, and it dragged up the pictures of the knive machine and knive stump (which Gabe said were office art), and a report on the dynamics of knife stabbing.

Anyhow, I've decided to dig the script up again, and set it to the task of probing the secret/ dir for us :).

Stay tuned....
 
And it's now running on my little server.

If anyone else wants to run it, here it is attached. Just a simple little script.

I renamed it from .py to .txt to be a valid upload. Probably requires a Linux or something else Unixy computer, since it's written in Python and uses wget.

Rename it to url.py, and run it in the command line with:
nohup python url.py &
Which will keep it in the background. If it finds any files, it will download them. Depending on how you edit the file, and your net connection, running time could be anywhere from several hours to infinity (if you set the file name limit really high =\).

Note that it only searches for filenames of a certain length at a time. This isn't too bad though, since once you get to 4 or above the searches take hours.

Bah. I've just realised my script is pretty much useless, it doesn't generate the names at all! Well that's 12 hours of waiting down the drain...
 
well...maybe you could try harder. I find all this "knife" talk confusing and disturbing.

Who uploads those boring and odd pictures to a website like that?
