Well, it has my curiosity piqued.

What is it?

If you ask me, I think its an Infernal Pencil Sharpener. From Hell.

What do you guys think?

Some kind of motion mine.

A floating object?

Well thats a little vague...

First thing that came to mind was the return of bombing run.
Why RS would do that is beyond me.

What intrigues me is the arrows pointing to the holes, and the numbers 1 and 2. And that is where I come to the conclusion that it tels you where to insert your pencil to sharpen it, and that it has different sharpeners for #2 pencils and #1 pencils, though I never knew they made #1 pencils...

I suppose if it is infernal it would have some weird quirk like that.

Don't be so silly.

The number two hole is for the eraser!

Double sided pencil.

I thought it was referring to the lead softness, like the #2 lead that is usually found in pencils.

Huh, you might very well have been doing just that. Hmm, hmmm.

That could be it.

Maybe its like a floating platform on which the #1 and #2 signify a missile or something.

An orb? I'd say it is an object shaped like a ball. Remember Oorb from Quake 3?

It either has to do with the staves, or maybe something made by Cryons.

1.deathstar.
2.soccer ball.
3.SB messing with his 3D modeler

The word orb still reminds me of an floating spherical object..

It's a movie.

Oh wait, that was a sphere...

RUNESTORM IS TRANSFORMING SOCCER INTO A BLOODSPORT! YES!!!

hmm...
it seems that has bloom. maybe they're working in another game?
or upgrading the graphics in ut2004.



If it is infernal, it isn't obvious that it is from hell?

Oh jeez..

Soccer is already a bloodsport.

It's obviously a cat.

There is no mouth, there fore, it is not a cat.

(Reference to a joke of a court case I was an audience to recently...)

I think that it is RS plans to dominate the world.
that device has the capacity to infiltrate in your IP, then get your bank account password, hack it, and discover your real adress.

then, RS sends to your house a mail.once you open it, it has a small liquid. once touched, it sucks your soul and than goes back to RS headquarters. that ball is the RS soulmachine, codenamed "archon". with those souls, they make experiments to create a fully functional Dark star/nova Staff. then, thay will use innocent bio-enginnered animals to test the power of the weapons.ironically called "bots".

once the weapons are useful, they go to the street and shot at people. after that, they will create a nuclear device, and if the governors don't give their territories to RS, then RS will explode and kill all humans.

that orb is the so called Soul machine.ITS HERE WHERE YOUR SOUL WILL BE IN 3 MONTHS!!!

we have sufficient proofs for that. RS developers show interest in new members, as we can see in some greetings messages:






"Welcome new member

Fresh blood always good "-ShadowBlade.


Well, if anyone cares to read that idiotic story, you can see that i'm just kidding

I already gave them my soul when I became moderator.

Hilariously enough, there is already a tabletop blood-sport game. "Blood Bowl" A form of football in Warhammer Fantasy, where all the races (And I really do mean ALL of them! Even undead! AND CHAOS!) slam the crap of out of each other to get the ball to the other side of the field, or simply to kill each other off. Awww man, now I can't stop thinking about playing a game or mod for that......

Bombing Run has already been invented.

I really wana play that...
Ever since I heard of it I've been wondering HOW?How can I get this and who would play it?

I think that Orb is a model made by SB and brought into UT3.

I worked with UT3, I know the graphics a bit. And this looks very like UT3.

Actually, I think it's kind of an Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, but it would be it's infernal version !
(Where are the rabbits ?)

Or it's an orb that will follow you everywhere and give you power or amunitions or ...

It can also be the loan mower from future ! Who knows ?

A soccerball, from hell.

i just thought of something!
...
oh wait, thats subtraction.
back on topic, my guess is that the "orb" is a anchient artifact from the lands of the fairytale lands where the little lamb, who discoverd the magical orb and took it because its shiny and pretty.
but little did the lamb knew,it protected there world form the evils beyond. after the lamb took the protective orb, the sky turend red and soviet space crusers came from the sky and launched a full scale invasion. after destroying all life and mined it into a wasteland and leeched of its unrenewable resourses,
they discoverd an orb and took it back to ther labs to study it.
thats my guess.

I think you're on to something there.

Or just plain on something.
