Wanna share with you guys my two best MG works with my custom decal schemes (tried my best for a realistic look) Spent around 20 hours on both of the kits (counting applying decals only) and I am really happy with this. Quite new to the hobby, those are my 3rd and 4th kits Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below!

I've tried many ENB presets and all of them does the same, but when I disable it the yellow spots are gone.

Hey folks, so I’m not really much into customs but I think it would be really cool if someone who’s got experience in customs to basically make “Mad Maxified” versions of some of the following Hot Wheels/castings (images above):

• Plymouth Superbird/Charger Daytona (I think the Flying Aces series one would be the coolest cus of the livery)
  
• RLC ‘71 AMC Javelin
  
• Gas Monkey Garage ‘68 Corvette
  
• Plymouth GTX
  
• ‘77 Firebird T/A
  
• Challenger SRT (the Furious 7 one might be a good casting to use)
  
• Mustang Mach 1
  
• Chevelle SS Express
  
• ‘70 Camaro
  
• Big Air Bel Air
  
• Skyline GT-R R32
  
• Datsun 240Z (the Roadkill Rotsun kinda already achieves this, but I think someone can do even better)
  
• ‘71 Porsche 911
  
• Porsche 914 Safari
  
• Bone Shaker
  
• Rip Rod
  
• Mod Rod
  
• Custom Otto
  
• Lolux
  
• Ballistik
  

I think it would be sick to see some of these heavily modified to fit the aesthetic of Mad Max: Fury Road. They should be painted matte black/rusted, covered in spikes and skulls, given off-road wheel swaps, massive exposed V8 engines, giant exhausts, and basically just re-designed to look as aggressive and edgy and metal as possible.
If anyone thinks it would be fun to try any of these projects, please link pics of them to me cus I’d love to see what everyone creates! Also feel free to add on more ideas for castings in the comments.

I don’t know if you’re out there on Reddit, but you went by S133PER and my old gamertags were KIZMYAZZ/koopiekid/sup3rrn0va (I now have the gamertag Skoop and can’t believe KIZMYAZZ was a name I chose once lmfao). We played Halo 2 all the time together. You were the best Ghost pilot I had ever seen. Headlong and Burial Mounds were your stomping grounds.
When we played Halo 2 I was only 8 years old. You were a few years older and a teenager. Despite most people on Xbox Live finding me annoying simply because my voice, you always stuck up to online bullies for me and helped me improve at the game.
I’m now 28 years old. I’m a lot better at Halo haha. Hard to believe this was all nearly 20 years ago now. I guess I got sentimental and wanted to say thank you for being a homie. I doubt this will ever reach you, but really from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Hey Custodians,
It's time for another Pantheon of Builders showcase!
Here, we highlight 5 incredible Outpost creations crafted by the Meet Your Maker community. 4 of the winning Outposts are selected by the community, along with a wild card selection being chose by the dev team.
Without further ado, let's check out the latest entrants into the Pantheon of Builders!
1. Artistic:
Outpost Name: Jesup
Original Builder: chicken_husband4
"T-Wrecks."
Jesup by chicken_husband4
2. Fun:
Outpost Name: Isle Au Haut
Original Builder: xHoneycrispApple
"Welcome to the lush, exotic paradise of Isle Au Haut! Here, the scenery is vibrant, air is fresh, and the sun is bright. A memorable retreat for novice adventurers and expert thrill-seekers alike. The Isle’s revolutionary conveyance system located at its base will launch you to untold heights, unharnessed. Hey, it beats hiking.
Once you reach the Isle’s slopes, take a tour. Don’t mind the locals, they’re known to be temperamental - that’s part of the charm. Up for an exciting excursion? Take a detour through the winding caves. There’s known to be treasure tucked away, protected by the Isle’s formidable defenses. Be swift and beware of lurking dangers. Ah, the stories you’ll tell upon your return. Pack the sunnies and enjoy your visit to Isle Au Haut!"
Isle Au Haut by xHoneycrispApple
3. Brutal:
Outpost Name: Whitehawk
Original Builder: Wurmschnitzel
"It's a large Outpost in middle of an acid Lake with tons of traps and guards in multiple rooms who wants to stop you from collecting the Genmat!"
Whitehawk by Wurmschnitzel
4. Ingenious:
Outpost Name: Cottonwood Falls
Original Builder: Snalle
"Amidst the toxic wasteland stands Cottonwood Falls, an outpost made by the mad snail -build from recycled materials scavenged after the disaster of Fort Hope. The snail sits on top of its outpost daring raiders to enter....
This outpost is a love-letter to ingenuity and the potential of the sentry beam - if used right, the laser beam can do crazy things to catch the raider off guard.
This outpost is primarily focused around speed-running, so grab your favorite pair of running shoes and impress the snail.
(side-note: If you don't enjoy speed-running, it can still be enjoyed as normal)"
Cottonwood Falls by Snalle
5. Wild Card (Dev's Pick):
Outpost Name: Nesconset
Original Builder: Reclaimers2178
"Nesconset is an experimental toxin plant where the advisors helping set up defenses sniffed so many toxic fumes that they got… creative with their defenses in the form of really, really, really stupid bounce pad traps."
Nesconset by Reclaimers2178
If you'd like to raid any of these Outposts (we highly encourage that you do), you may find them via the Social Raid menu via a Custom Search using either the "Pantheon" search filter, or by searching "PoB" in the Outpost Name or Builder options.
Congratulations to all players featured in this latest round of the Pantheon of Builders. All winners should have received the Pantheon's Seal decal on their accounts.
We'd like to extend a special thank you to all those who submitted. Your hard work never ceases to amaze us!
To submit an Outpost for the Pantheon of Builders, or to participate in the voting process for the current round of submissions, make your way to the Partnered Community Discord: https://discord.gg/meetyourmaker
We hope you enjoy raiding these bases. See you in the wasteland!
-The Meet Your Maker Team

Pretty much done here. Minor touch ups and clear coat left to do now. One of two I’m building, this one is going to a friend (who prefers a more subtle look).
Strobes and navs are movie accurate, custom timing boards from TenaControls to get it right. Saucer strobes are 0402 LEDs mounted outside the hull with 1.5k in line to bring down the brightness. Might go a little higher resistance on the next one. Power supplied by 9v 2A PSU.
Very happy with how this turned out. Now to begin work on the more aggressive paint and decal scheme of the Enterprise-E with model #2!

Blog Link: https://www.rocketleague.com/en/news/rocket-league-season-15-enter-the-fun-fret-and-fray-of-salty-fest
Put your hands, horns, and cars in the air and make some noise for the launch of Rocket League Season 15! This Season sounds off on June 5.
In Season 15, hit the ground spinning on a grassier new variant of Salty Shores. Just take it easy on the donuts as you tear up the field with Rocket League’s newest sports cars!
Purchase Season 15’s Rocket Pass Premium to auto-unlock the Nissan Fairlady Z Car Body. Go up the Tiers to unlock the Nissan Fairlady Z RLE Car Body and the punk rock-reminiscent Mosher Boost and Power Chord Goal Explosion. Punk rock, sports cars, summertime Soccar… get ready for a SoCal escape.
https://preview.redd.it/krne6e4xas3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df9c8f7bd9b7248e6a768c2894c43a7cb90250ab
⁠NOTE: Both Nissan Fairlady Z and Nissan Fairlady Z RLE use the Dominus hitbox. These Car Bodies will soon be eligible for cross-game ownership between Rocket League and Fortnite! ⁠

Salty Shores Gets Festive

Salty Shores is looking a little less… well, salty. The seaside view gets swapped out for stadium podiums and a skatepark as we lay down the turf and welcome the crowds for Salty Shores’ Salty Fest!
https://preview.redd.it/cfk34giyas3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0c91cc7693babd15158743590365ba0e940c3415
Of course, it wouldn’t be a festival without new music. Monstercat artists Mazare and Dead Pony blend a furious mix of EDM and punk rock in this Season’s theme song “Generation Gap.” Rocket League Radio also gets a revamp as Monstercat provides a fresh selection of rock-inspired tracks from Fairlane, Silverstein, Point North, and Story Untold, while Season 15’s Rocket Pass Premium includes two new Player Anthems! ⁠

Play More LTMs Whenever You Want

Wanna swap the Rocket Ball for the pigskin? Wish you could boost to no end like a bounty hunter on the chase? Then we’ve got some Eggstra Special news for you! Update v2.40 (going live the day before Season 15) adds more LTMs you can play in Private Matches, Offline Exhibition Matches, and Custom Tournament Matches without waiting for them to be one of the dueling Arcade Playlists: ⁠

• Eggstra Special Mode
• G-Force Frenzy
• Gridiron ⁠

Also, Season 15 adds these LTMs to the Game Mode selector in Private Matches, Offline Exhibition Matches, and Custom Tournament Matches—so that you don’t have to use the Mutator Settings to access them: ⁠

• Beach Ball
• Boomer Ball
• Demolition
• Dropshot Rumble
• Moonball
• Pinball
• Speed Demon
• Spike Rush
• Super Cube ⁠

https://preview.redd.it/97k1ace0bs3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36ce976d741820758a79fbd247e9ce2b42b0ec13

⁠Introducing Chat Timestamps

With the frenetic speed of Rocket League matches, it’s useful to look back at the chat and know who said what and when.
That “when” has been missing until Season 15! The addition of timestamps to sent chat messages should allow more tactical communication between players and reduce the likelihood of messages being misinterpreted. The timestamps will be based on how much time is left in the match. Finally, some important context for [3:00] What a save! [2:59] What a save! [2:58] What a save! ⁠

Rocket Pass Premium

Elder Emo? Indie Artist? Or just a punk with something to prove? Whatever side of the mosh pit you find yourself on, you’re sure to find something in tune with your preference in Season 15’s Rocket Pass Premium:
https://preview.redd.it/r14zqun2bs3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=70800c6998261f616cb6ce95f4e2313e46c2663e
Jump into Nissan Fairlady Z or Nissan Fairlady Z RLE as you rock the pitch fairly and thoroughly. And whether you’re into thrash metal, doom metal, or tech metal, open up the pit with the Mosher Boost and Rock On Antenna!
⁠Your biting lyrics now have an outlet with the SharpTongue Antenna. If your style speaks louder than words, put the Punk Boot Topper on your car. Either way, tighten your look (and then some… and then some more) with the Punked Wheels. ⁠ ⁠⁠If these Premium rewards are hitting the right notes for you, the Power Chord Goal Explosion will be a beam of light! Crank the celebrations to 11 with the takeover Vol. 11 Goal Explosion that’ll make the pitch a punk scene.
All the rewards mentioned above are just some of the rewards you can unlock. There are 70+ Tiers of rewards across free and Premium, so keep on rockin’. ⁠

Tourney Rewards Have Never Looked so Enchanting

This Season’s Tournament Rewards are looking magical, but we swear they’re legit. Take a roll of the dice with the 1D20 Topper and Polyhedral Boost, leave your rivals enthralled with the Spellbound Goal Explosion, or play your cards right with the Jester Decal.
https://preview.redd.it/t0ynsoj4bs3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f132cdb93b654875ed1fe5b79137786a922bb4c8

⁠Demolition Audio Update

Fast cars, furious riffs, and frenetic boosts? Sounds like a blast. And speaking of blasts, you’ll notice changes to audio clarity for supersonic collisions. Demolition audio has been tweaked so it’s easier to detect whether it’s your teammates or opponents who have just gone up in smoke!
https://preview.redd.it/8xkkepv5bs3d1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6555a0cbe20c0fe4ad1bc5519abe87af342829f0
Ready to make some noise and win over the crowd? The festival that is Season 15 runs from June 5 to September 4!

I intend to make a different version of sunstorm every five customs, and this is custom #10. I was lucky enough to find this guy on macari for 25 bucks after shipping and fees. Didn't intend on him being my next sunstorm but I've been pretty infatuated with the gamer Edition line lately.. about to set up a lan/online party with a buddy to finally play co-op for the first time.

I just wrapped up my Enve Mog dream build. Built it all by myself minus getting the fork steerer tube cut. Just did a lot of research for some key features I wanted ( big space for tires with and without fenders, internal frame storage, use flexibility and internal cable routing).
It was super fun to put together and watched so many videos on how to do so. Omg it rides confusingly amazing with this huge tires on and isn’t slow to respond to commands. Very happy with this bike already!

Fans of Hong Kong action movies probably know director John Wu. Many of his films with “dancing with shooting”, full of action, Mexican showdowns and slow motion are rightfully considered among the best action films in history. Among his most striking works are films such as “Killer”, “Bullet in the Head” and “Hard Boiled”, but there is little to compare with the 1992 film “Steeply Brewed” starring Chinese actor Chou Yunfat as Inspector Yuen Tequila.
This is one of the most important action films of the 1990s, a bloody internal monologue in amazing shootouts, merciless to the audience. The climax of the film, a real fight in the hospital, is still praised by action fans, and perhaps it can be called a masterpiece of Woo's cinematic skill. Unfortunately, the adventures of Inspector Tequila never got a sequel... until a game called Stranglehold was released in 2007.

Stranglehold is an interesting game to say the least. This is the official sequel to “Hard Boiled” based on the film, in many ways unique due to the “perfect storm” collaboration between Woo, Chou Yunfat and the Midway company, who acted as developer and producer. Midway games have a long and dirty history that deserves a separate article. In the mid-2000s, the company began to lose its position as a producer, investing excessive amounts of money in unique, but completely failed projects.
This is mainly due to the deal in March 2007, when Midway entered into a new loan agreement with National Amusement for $90 million, but National Amusements CEO Sumner Redstone sold 87% of his shares to other investors, leaving Midway with no other way out besides bankruptcy.
Stranglehold did come out, but it was one of the last games developed by Midway before its final closure in 2009. Perhaps, among all the latest games of the studio, it was the most worthy and honestly tried to convey the dynamic of “Hard Boiled”, using updated engines to demonstrate a new degree of realism. Strangehold was Midway's first Unreal Engine 3 game and one of the most important elements of the game's development was a new physics engine called Massive Destruction.

The Massive Destruction physics engine allowed players to destroy almost any inanimate object in the existing environment. Inspector Tequila and his hordes of enemies from the triads could literally shoot and destroy the whole world. In addition, the engine implemented a hit recognition system in which enemies reacted to injuries to various parts of the body. The artificial intelligence behaved accordingly, trying to recover from non-lethal injuries and return to battle if possible.
To recreate the “Hard Boiled” shootouts, Midway tried to create a special dynamic system using a modified version of the time dilation mechanics. This “Tequila time” has become a trademark of Woo's style, a unique feature of the game that distinguishes it from others. During the Tequila time, the inspector could interact with the environment to slide across tables and climb a chandelier while continuing to fire at enemies.

This mechanic is reminiscent of the Max Payne series, but Max Payne it's self also borrowed it from “Hard Boiled" and other action movies. By 2007, “time dilation” as a game mechanic was somewhat hackneyed, and Stranglehold tried to break this stereotype, but the results were mixed.
One of the innovations of Midway was an attempt to stimulate interaction with a destructible environment. The developers implemented a system of points represented by stars, which allowed players to receive bonuses – for example, increased damage or protection. To earn stars, the player had to kill enemies quickly without stopping or use improvised for stylish kills.
With enough points, it was possible to get a shot accompanied by a bullet on the way to the target. This system also contributed to recreating the atmosphere of the “Hard Boiled”, as it greatly contributed to the interaction of players with the environment.

In fact, the Stranglehold concept was largely focused on creating the feeling of watching an action movie. The collaboration with Woo and the recruitment of Chou Yunfat for the role of Tequila (although without voice acting) were also steps in this direction. Therefore, Stranglehold was quite short – it took from eight to ten hours to complete the campaign – and in order to make it more attractive to customers, Midway added multiplayer to the game. The collector's edition for PlayStation 3 also includes a Blu-Ray disc with the movie “Hard Boiled” itself, which was not in a similar collector's edition for Xbox 360.
Stranglehold was moderately successful and earned Midway over a million dollars. The reviews noted the exact adaptation of the action movie atmosphere in the game world, but criticized the monotonous gameplay and unsuccessful multiplayer. Another problem for the game was the release in 2007 of many more significant shooters, especially Halo 3 on Xbox 360. Stranglehold could not stand comparison with these games, and it became more of a niche product than a full-fledged AAA hit.

But despite all this, Midway had serious plans for Stranglehold. First, a new film was planned – the official prequel of “Hard Boiled” with a young inspector Tequila. In 2010, it was reported that Stephen Fung was to be the director of the project, and the budget was $ 20 million. Work has also begun on a sequel to Stranglehold called Gun Runner. However, after the closure of Midway in 2009 and the purchase of a number of Midway brands by Warner Bros, Interactive Gun Runner was canceled, and the Stranglehold film was never released.
Midway's financial problems should not be underestimated, but Stranglehold has also contributed to them. Despite the millions of sales, the development of the game cost about $ 30 million, making it one of the most expensive for its time. The game was unable to fully compensate for these costs, and despite good reviews, it never became a serious AAA hit, much to Midway's chagrin. In the end, all this resulted in a loss of approximately $ 700 million by the end of 2008 and the bankruptcy of the company in early 2009.
Midway's financial turmoil has left the Tequila Inspector with no future in video games. Anyway, Stranglehold was and remains a curious game, because it has become in many ways a unique project combining the ideas of Hollywood with an interactive format. It's proved that a game can be made the same as a movie, but also demonstrated the limitations of such an approach – creating a powerful niche product, not a game for a wide audience. Thanks to this niche, Stranglehold has become a cult classic, an action game that has begun to gain more and more recognition over time.
