I just watched the vid. Dumbest piece of slander I've seen in a while.

Preview or documentary?

My favorite bit when the politicians call videogames "murder simulators" and "they're teaching out children to use guns" is the fact that they're totally overlooking that clicking a mouse, or moving a analog stick with your thumb and hitting the x button is probably the furthest thing in the world from firing a gun.

Good thing, too.....I certified sniper in America's Army on my first try...they mighta tired recruiting me otherwise.

I would actually have a half-decent chance in FPSs if my meager skill with actual firearms carried over

All considered... I think it is also related to the fog effect.

That picture of Zapros makes me want to watch Tron!

Awesome work Aerones.

ER, misread that, it's final card size...

Anyway, you can still link and I will mess with the photos for you.

On the site he linked to, there is a listing of what the demensions turn out to be.

I haven't use that tool, so I could tell you for sure how to do that - best i could recommend is eying it off the rulerbar if it shows pixels.

If you want, (although no promise it will be done before friday) list the pictures here and I (or someone else ) can crop them for you.

Hmmmm, always loved those weeble wobbles growing up, do they bounce back up after you punch em too?

Don't know - we are all afraid we might lose a hand in their bodies. Or he might cut it off with a knife (he has cut up minatures before because he asked four of the five other people there if they owned the one he wanted to operate on, and when the four said "No" ruined the mini and was surprised when the fifth person came in and got pissed that he had done that. The moron's defense? "Nobody said the minded it!" He is no longer a friend, cause of things like that, and a peanutbutter incident.)

Should be in the tools section. It's just a click and pull kinda thing on gimp, to use the tool.

Well, if you crop it to the listed dimensions, the picture will come out centered without hassle

Okay, it is full for this month, but Alex (www.imagesbyalex.com) does one or two a day, usually - and he has a queue.

My avatar is from his sketch of one of my characters - check the link for the full thing.

[ QUOTE ]
I didn't see a post saying the queue was closed so if you are still taking requests Blue Dagger is in my signature!

[/ QUOTE ]

Don't distract him!

he took the first ten + me (I asked him in game prior to this thread, actually), but keep an eye out and let us see if he does it again.

In Menu-Options-Keymapping - Look for where the screenshot section is (by the bottom, IIRC) and one of the abilities there (but unmapped) is to set a key to toggle the GUI showing up in screenshots.

Note, there is also one to toggle the GUI as well - different option though.

For all we know... the maker could have been the one putting it on youtube... I'd done that if i had a small project to market...

[/ QUOTE ]

From what I understand, he did.

I don't know why he made it so slanted if his project is supposed to be somewhat balanced though.

[ QUOTE ]
by the sheer fact that they are grouping games like GTA and CoH/V together shows they have no idea what they are talking about.

[/ QUOTE ]

Thing is, the documentary is supposed to contain interviews with a range of people involved involved in the issue.

The trailer, though, doesn't come out that way.

[ QUOTE ]
The Reply is priceless! I love it!

Oh, if they did not ask for permission to use a Trademark of NC Soft in their video, when are you going to sue them?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's a documentary - as such they use the "Fair Use" provisions to get around permission.

I think the big thing is how the arms hang.

By the way, that is approximately 50x better than anything I could do

Nice - was the doll look intentional?

IIRC - gimp can do animated gifs - you use layers.

Link?

You've obliously never seen my "Bizzaroland" section in my galley lol!!



Not much can scare me after that!

Hmm, time to let the Aranda out of it's cage.

The conglomeration of a guy I know and his girl friend - who until she dyed her hair kinda looked she was his brother.

They currently live in her parents house, and the phrase "webbils may wobble but they don't fall over" comes to mind when discussing those two...

*psst* try sic'ing Aerones on him. Failing that scaring him, how about Jackie Chick?

I'm extremely disappointed that an image of Statesman would be used in such a way. I know that we designed City of Heroes to appeal to "children of all ages." My proudest accomplishment with the game is that many parents (including my brother) play with their children...sharing, I hope, the same joy for the comic book world that I've had ever since I was 8. I cannot express the shock that I felt seeing that a character created by Cryptic would be used in the same sentence as Columbine.

[/ QUOTE ]

My jaw literally dropped open when I saw States in that trailer, especially right at the moment he was in. Couldn't believe it.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mind you, had I to play that section 3+ times AND turn up the volume...

The lady in that shot says that the video game violence/regulation issue is politically a win/win issue because it's all about protecting the kids.

From what I have read, the documentary is supposed to have interviews over a wide spectrum of the video game "arena" both industrially and politically. I think I will definitely want to see it when I can.

But as I said before, that is one hell of a slanted trailer, and definitely slanderous in it's presentation of the Statesman character, due to the fact it was the only game I saw in there that wasn't horribly violent (one other was pointed out, but it was one I had never played.) and implicates it is.

Appropriate background for talking about political ramifications though.

[ QUOTE ]
Heh. what we should do is put together a trailer vilifying congress. Maybe pick a few scenes that don't make sense among all the scenes that might be in theme. Congress raises taxes, congress starts wars, congress has sex.

To bad we don't have tax dollars to distribute it.

[/ QUOTE ]

And don't forget, it's all the fault of a certain act of fellatio.

Wouldnt Cryptic be able to Sue for using that pic of states like that? Seems that they would have to get permission to use that...

[/ QUOTE ]

It's portrayed as a documentary - the "educational" factor might get around it via Fair Use.

Must say, in the light of that trailer though, that trailer is downright slanderous to the game. NCSoft should definably be shown this and asked to act.

(PS - "NCSoft" was highlighted by Firefox 2's spellchecker and the suggested correction was UniSoft...)

From what I've gathered, working in Customer Support or as a retailer tends to make people want to chainsaw customers in half. Or so I've heard

[/ QUOTE ]

No, you see, cause then the customers REALLY get you. Cause guess who has to clean up the mess?

Bludgeon them over the head, dump them in the garbage bin, and wheel it to the back of the store and empty it into the garbage compactor ASAP. No messy cleanup that way.

EDIT : Not that I have ever thought this out, by the way. Also if you use the large bins, you can probably fit 3-4 people in then cover them with real garbage, so the other customers don't see anything and ask questions.
