  1. Well, I don’t like most of ’m, but I liked the one that first popped up on my screen. After wasting some minutes, I found another that made me laugh: Anyway, I’m done with the site .
  2. That was an unexpected notification . Anyway, glad you’re enjoying this fantastic franchise, and welcome to the forum! (Although to be what we Dutch call an “antfucker†(i.e. nitpicker), it wasn’t quite the same experience, as I did enjoy Metroid 2. Never managed to beat the final boss though. One day.. Grr.)
  3. Hmm, I have the decade box, still need to play both the Tiberium series as the Red Alert series from the start till the end. Never was interested in the Generals universe though :|. Even now I have the games, I just can’t be arsed. I guess I should give them a try at one point, but yeah. The C&C era is over.
  4. I followed The Fish’s maze to its source, found this rage comic:
  5. Well, that depends on what kind of cinema you’re going .
  6. You’re not going to ask us again if you’re required to have sex huh? :p Good luck / have fun!
  7. No.. But I know how many cookies I eat :p. Other fun statistics:
  8. That’s simply not true (the one The Fish posted).
  9. Oh no, that’s absolutely not it. If you’d put this in the general gallery thread, it’d be fine, but since this is the t-shirt thread.. I don’t like the typical hand-coloured look on t-shirt designs.
  10. To explain it in a few sentences: - draw in pencil. - you could ink it on paper (trace it with a black pen), or do this digitally as well - scan your drawing, and clean it up by deleting grey spots, and playing with the contrast. You need to get a clean image with black lines from your drawing, and everything else should be white. - zoom in 2 or 4 times, the use the free-select tool (or what it’s called in photoshop), “trace” your black lines, and select an area that’s supposed to be one continuous colour. Make sure the selected area overlaps the black lines (so you don’t get transparent spots), but obviously don’t go outside of them. - select your preferred colour and use the full bucket. - oh forgot: set your original drawing on “muliply” mode. This is a seperate layer, and once cleaned up, should be kept at the top, and you won’t do any editing in this layer anymore. All the colours go beneath it. - Rinse & repeat; use a new layer for each piece of colouring. I’m not great in explaining things. Look for a tutorial.. Images should help immensly with these kind of things.
  11. I’d personally get rid of them altogether. And I’m sure people already commented on this in regards to your previous t-shirt designs.. But this could really do with some digital colouring. This would look so much better on t-shirts if you just stuck with flat colours.
  12. Never tried the PC adventure games since Cube advised me not too (The Wii game didn’t need any explicit third party disencouragement, it sold itself pretty poorly). Anyway, the trailer shows absolutely nothing. If done well, I’m absolutely interested in getting it for PC, but I’d love some Karen Gillan as well..
  13. It’s really comments like these that make women insecure and to things like this:
  14. The thing is, if you run them.. You can fix that.
  15. Oh, just got reminded on what I think could be an disadvantage of DSLRs (and similar cameras): rolling shutter. I’m pretty sure the camcorders won’t have this problem. Go Google it if you don’t know what it is, but it’s pretty noticeable if you’re aware of it. That said, it's nothing I’d be concerned with. Especially if you’re dealing with slow movement.

  16. I hope you’re not discouraged . In fact, I wish you good luck, first game is exciting! (now for that second game.. Hmm)
  17. As expected, the service “is currently unavailable in your area”. Was interested.
  18. Haha ok, you’re going through the same troubles I had a year ago. Also had problems with people signing up (although in hindsight it may have been for the better). One of the lessons I learned was: don’t host a game during the Holidays. You’re going to have a rough time between Christmas and New Year’s eve..
  19. Post a pic in the “what have you bought?” thread, so I can lust over someone else’s new hardware ;).

  20. [part 2]

     

    The video you linked.. The video maker commented on the used lens in the video, which was probably the 18-50mm. If you satisfied with this kind of quality, I’d just go with that kitlens. It has Image stabilisation, which will help in low-light conditions, when using a steady hand (and well, it’s useful in daylight as well ;)).

     

    Which leads me to another thing, you mentioned “over-the-shoulder” shots. I assume meaning following someone around at a walking pace. This will lead to a “shaky” video look, like Blair Witch and Cloverfield. Perhaps you want that. If you don’t, and prefer a more steady shot while walking, you’ll have to look at steadycams and rigs, which are expensive. That said, your kitlens has image stabilisation, which should already help with that, though I don’t know to what extent. For now I’d forget the steadycams, and use your kitlens as is. If you decide you need better stabilisation you can look into better options.

     

    [the end]

  21. [part 1]

     

    Not much response on that forum, though, there are some tips, and things I can gather from the video you linked.

     

    Another options for audio would be the Rode videomic.

    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/363083-REG/Rode_VIDEOMIC_VideoMic_Camera_Mounted.html

    You can hook this up directly to your camera, so no need for adding in the audio. Personally I’d still go with the Zoom (or similar).

     

    [to be continued]

  22. Not funny, but pretty cool (in my opinion):
  23. Sorry man. I won’t be playing any games for a while. May start again when the year is over. Have some other stuff on my mind at the moment (and since I’m not in a mafia game it’s an actual excuse ). And to be honest, the theme doesn't interest me. Don’t watch gameshows. Anne Robinson I know, and apart from her, some Dutch ones and the old geezer from Fort Boyard.
  24. I find this very strange, I had it a few times before, today again: Sometimes, the site gets “hi-jacked” by some sort of spammy online game site. I don’t click anything. It just happens when the site is loading (very slowly in my case, with my crap connection). Site in question: http://nl,seafight,bigpoint,com/big/media_seafight_nl_dyna_17?locale=nl&aid=3118&aig=14&aip=2271&ce_cid=008bwNtTYzqJ18ATuq1azmiTDQ000000 Changed the dots since I don't want to “further” their cause. And I guarantee this happens without my input/consent. And only on this site. Am I the only one? Any idea what’s causing this?
