  1. Yes there are. Have been out now for a week or so.
  2. That's a really bad screen you took there Jordan. I've downloaded the DX9 version, and have been running it on a Pentium [email protected], 2GB Ram, and a 7600GT. Video settings are at 1280x800, full texture detail, full HDR, and it's playable. On the benchmarking thing was getting about 25fps average, but that was with HDR on low. Great demo, and the game looks stunning.
  3. Created this as a University assignment between a group of 6 of us over a timespan of a month or so, from initial brainstorming of our story and storyboards to animating and then editing. Software used: 3D Studio Max, PFtrack, Combustion, Flash and Premiere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ria1MtV8n5M Enjoy.
  4. The Blob - VFX short film

    Yeh, I agree. Problem was that we pretty much all tackled a sequence of animation each, so it does become inconsistent I feel. I animated the slow motion part of the video. Nicely spotted. Someone else in my group did the compositing with the shadows, and I said they were too harsh and defined..........and I think no one could be arsed to correct them. But I agree with what you say. Thanks for viewing and giving feedback. Helps a lot.
  5. The Blob - VFX short film

    Cheers for viewing. If anyone else views it, then leaving comments in this thread would be much appreciated.........even if they are negative.
  6. What the Hecky Thump Are You Doing Up?

    Been making bricks tonight.
  7. Square Enix SNUBS Wii

    Lolz @ thread.
  8. Virgin Media Traffic Management

    Yep. This is the only thing that I feel they are doing bad with. This recent announcement about limiting people between certain times is totally fine I feel...............surely those warez addicts who live at their computers all day can just leave their downloads on at night now instead.
  9. What the Hecky Thump Are You Doing Up?

    Currently watching one of the worst films I've ever seen on BBC1.........don't even know what it is called. Prob going to cook some chicken nuggets and pasta shortly, then go to Asda to do some shopping of some sort, as I've been living on Pizzahut, Nando's and McDonalds the last few days
  10. Lost - Series 3 [spoilers]

    Yeh, it doesn't say 'spoilers' in the thread title. The Brig was a great episode, and possibly the best one this season so far. Was disappointed when it ended, as I just wanted more. Looking forward to next weeks.
  11. Sleep Deprevation

    I get around 5-6 hrs tops on weekdays. It's not good, and for months it's been something I've tried to sort out. With that amount of sleep on weekdays, my routine is to drink a cup of coffee when I wake (9am), then have another cup of coffee or a can of Red Bull at about 11am (20min break). Then at some stage in the afternoon I'll repeat that again just to get me through the day. When you do a Uni course that involves just coursework and no exams you really need to know how to manage your time. Not sure I could keep my current ways for another two years or I'll be totally burnt out. Lack of sleep is also having an effect on me physically, with my skin complection looking really pale, and also lack of energy around late afternoon.
  12. What podcasts do you listen to?

    All I listen to as well. Love it to bits, but not sure how it'll pan out now that Luke has left. Also listen to Gamasutra's one off podcasts when ever they do them.
  13. E3 Exhibitor Numbers Dwindle

    They weren't. It was more of a case of not showing as much flesh as in previous years...........and that rule wasn't really stuck to all that well.
  14. Anyone who plans on buying a 8800 or already has is a joke I think. By the time DX10 matures and becomes something worth having, the series 9 cards will be out. Waiting till then was always going to be the best option.
  15. Rumor: EA to buy codemasters

    True say. But another UK publisher bought out isn't a good sign of things imo. I personally don't think much of a lot of the stuff Codemasters makes, but of all people EA buying them out. Hope this is just a rumor.
  16. Rumor: EA to buy codemasters

    Exactly what I was going to say. Publisher reps that go to retail stores usually don't know shit..........and I'm guessing your source would have been one of them. I thought Codemasters were doing quite well for themselves over last yr or so. ?
  17. God of War II

    Potential GoTY?
  18. God of War II

    Just bought God of War 2 Special Edition version off Amazon. I was going to wait it out a few weeks to see how my money goes, but then I saw the Special Edition sold out at Play.com, so I thought it was best if I quickly buy it because of limited print. Already seen the bonus DVD because I downloaded it, but it's inspiring stuff for me when I can't be arsed to work on anything. I suppose ordering both Elite Beat Agents and Ouendan last week hasn't helped my bank account though.
  19. Naked PC Pictures.

    Totally, I have one myself. There's some Zalman's and the Scythe Ninja that I've heard proove to be more worthy than the FP7. Still, it is definitely one of the best for what you spend, and also a great cooler regardless. So it does still get a thumbs up from me, and it's miles better than the boxed in retail coolers from Intel. Also hear good things about the Noctua being damn quiet..............then again, your case can also have an effect on how noise is distributed. You have a damn fit set-up though Caris.
  20. Naked PC Pictures.

    Or quiet.........Freezer Pro's aren't that good.
  21. It's a teaser trailer for one..............and I reference the recent GTA trailer as well with your posts. No problems there. And Burnout 2, great for its time.....but if you think it peeked then, I sympathize for you. Go back and play it now.........it's still an outstanding game, but BO3 was miles ahead in gameplay terms. Then again, we all have different tastes in games. Brilliant trailer though, and the cinematography/editing was done really well.
  22. Just read about your night. Nice one Fierce, hope all goes well. And the thing about not knowing when to kiss, is prob my biggest problem with girls n all. Should sort that out maybe, and just lick everyone.
  23. Quink n00b MS Word question

    Exactly what I was going to ask. Still using Office XP here, but those screens make the new version look devilishly attractive...........I think I want in.......
  24. floored someone

    This thread is embarrassing....................it's time I'm afraid.
  25. Pooing (a cry for help)

    How often should we shit then?
