Woohoo! Two ppl other than me (Xyos and Cabosse) are using the HL2:E2 wallpaper I made.
Love the Apple logo for the start menu.
I don't know about anyone else here, but I use to love the Happy Tree Friends. Keyword there, use to. Lately, I've noticed them fast heading down hill to the Internet graveyard. Granted, anyone in America gets to see them on G4TV at night, but that doesn't excuse the fact that their website is just this site of pathetic.
My main gripe, which I know isn't just a technical, the last few episodes have been setup so that you need Active X to view the new shows. This alienates anyone who desn't use IE. Granted, Windows users could switch over to IE, but we shouldn't have to.
The other problem I just had was that the newest episode didn't even run properly in IE. The animation was running faster then the audio, making the animation unwatchable. This is pathetic for content of this previous quality.
What do the rest of u think about this downward spiral?

I saw her once and knowing what I know now...my penis just died.
I know a Gordon in reality. He's pretty much my uncle.
And this thread is utterly useless. You fail at the internet.

I agree. Harrier's befinition rockzorz. Unfortunutly for me, I have yet to find a version of "Girls" the doesn't totally reject my system, as well as complete and virus-free.
Uhh...This may have started before I was here, but, what's the deal with harshin' on MF? I don't see anything in his 'bio' yo warrent it.

Beef
Chicken

In that order...although, I've only had duck I believe once, if at all, and I don't believe I've ever had lamb. Love the other 3 though.

I don't know about the rest of u, but I'm beginning to think that Rimrook shouldn't be allowed to participate in these compo's, not only to give other members a chance, but to STOP MAKING THEM LOOK BAD.
There were two spelling errors that would mean I'd have to redo the whole thing :furious:. I'm not sure if I'll bother with it or not.
Well, I can see that better now, but I've got an idea.
Here's my attempt. I'm proud 'cuz it's my first animation :biggrin:, but saddened by my lack of skillz :cry:.
Shit, ZL's first one does look like he impaled himself.
And ZL's second...AHHHHH, MY EYYYYES! IT BURNS! IIIT BUUUUUURRRRRNNNNSSSSS!!

Sweet, that'll help when I get my laptop (prolly 17" WUXGA). Thanx.
.swf files are actually the better way to go, if you have Flash and know how to use it. You can do more powerful animations and FX, while having a far smaller file size than animated .gifs.
oh, and 2 things regarding ZL's 'entry'.
1) I get nothing when I click on it. Just this:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'2) I don't know if you actually bothered to put in any effort, but from what I've seen in my short 9 'n a half months here, we've come to expect a little more from you. I mean, you should have colored the hat too...then it would have been up to par ;).

30"-ers are the wave of the future for hardcore, extreme gamers w/ cash. I mean, it gives you a full view. All you see is the game. All outside discractions are invisible. Emerse yourself and become one w/ the game. That is when thy true 1337 potential will come out. ...whoa...deep.
Besides, if Apple has a 30"-er, there must be something to it.

I don't know. It's a free 'photoshop'-like program, so I'd think it would. I don't know though.
Ok, I've got The GIMP, so I'm good then.
The same bad as a stupid bad joke.
I just realized, how do I make and animated .gif? I know u need to make multiply images/frame/layers, whatever, but how to I save it so it animates?

Why's 21" silly, Seventh? I think that 21" is a good size for a widescreen monitor. Mind you, if I had the cash for my Dream Machine, I'd get Dell's 30-incher 
I pray you didn't actually do this, but just in case, why the fuck would u see how fast u spooge?!?!
Good idea. I'll have to get started on one.
Oh, and that 'Monkey Inside'...bad, man. That's just bad.

I'd say go w/ the Asus PW201. It's more expensive, but u also get a web cam that's built into the monitor, and it's not a bad camera either.
That looks like an Uwe Boll made Half-Life move...far from the original idea. If a HL movie is going to be made, a carefully and faithful approach must be takin'.
It could be the stress thing that Penguin Boy mentioned. It seems to be working fine right now and I haven't started my torrents up yet.
Cabosse, if u use Norton, stop. Norton has been proven to noticable slow down your system. Get a better program.
I'm using FireFox, and I don't know. I rarely use IE inless I need to, for saw Windows Media Player embedded video. I'll check and get back to y'all.
Oh, and while surfing in another thread, I noticed the same problem for Habboi and Worldcraft Dude.
EDIT I see all the mentioned avatars in IE. Must be a setting in FF.

Hmm...well anyway, here's a screen cap of the problem. Maybe someone can tell me what needs to be changed on my end.
I overlooked this when I noticed that srry's avatar was displaying as 'Avatar' in plain, old text. However, I just signed back on after a one hour absence (when my avatar was displaying), to find that is no longer the case. All I see is 'Avatar' under my name. You can see posts from both of us here.
Has this happened to any other members? Has anyone else noticed this?

lol, altough, truth be told, their Security Center isn't that bad. It's McAfee firewall/spyware/virus protection w/ an AOL all-in-one interface.
Deep dude, deep.
Fortunutly, the problem seems to have corrected itself. AOL hasn't popped up in a while. But pray for my net-ernal soul 'til I get my AOL-free laptop.

No, we get our internet from our cable company. My parents use it b/c they don't know any better and they aren't willing to switch over to a new primary e-mail (telling all their contacts about the change).
And I happen to like shorthand. It's much faster.

This comp has a 250GB harddrive in it. With my futre laptop, I'm goin' for speed over space, w/ a 100GB 7200 RPM, over a 120/160GB 5400 RPM.
I need help keeping this thing down when on my account. I've surfin' w/ FireFox and all of a sudden, AOL pops up trying to sign on w/o permission. The only reason my parents still have it is b/c they don't want to try and transfer all their addresses to outlook and shit. Can I stop AOL from popping up on my account?
EDIT Forgot to mention that after I close AOL, FireFox no longer has an outgoing connection and I have to restart it.

Thanx for all the praise guys. And ZL, I've got a 17" moniter at 1280x1024 and it looks fine for me. I can see about turning it into a vector map, scaling it up, and then turning it back to a bitmap. That would keep the quality, but at a larger size. I'll see what I could do for the anal, perfectionist out there that like their backgrounds to not have the slightest bit of pixelation ;).
I say that 'cuz w/ the exception of graphic artists, most people don't notice a drop in quality if a picture is scaled 20-30%.

I thought I'd make a thread for this instead of posting in the old ones. I had previously made a wallpaper of D0g vs. a Strider from the video on ign.com, but as mentioned by at least one, and admitted by me, the quality wasn't that great. So, for everyone here, I've created a hi-rez version of the background using the trailer released over Steam. As before, I made a fullscreen (4:3) and a widescreen (16:10*) version. Check the sizes in the thumbnail image**.
- 16:10 is the aspect ratio for widescreen displays. 16:9 is for TVs.
- The links are to the image itself, not the php. Also, I made them PNGs to preserve the hi quality.
Shit, I feel kind of slow. My average time was .266 sec.
Perhaps...but I think just starting to remove things from my desktop, placing them deeper into the system, like My Documents, will help. Also, I plan to be alot more causious about anything I do from now on.
OK, I got an idea for a map, but the initial tests are showing that this isn't going to be easy. I'd like to create a giant treehouse. For the tree, I'm placing the Oak Tree model in the skybox. Problem is, I can pass through the model, this is easily fixed w/ noclips, but the larger problem is, that I can see through the model, meaning anything on the other side of a branch can bee see w/o going around it.
How can I fix this?

Not really. There were some low priority files (I think, can't remember) that I used for 1.6 mapping, which I stopped a couple of months ago. Also, 2 games, Torus Trooper (just got from GD) and I'm OK (a game from Thompsonsoft that was for the challenge that Jack Thompson coped out off), and some ahem adult content that was from a site that was allegedly closing down, but still hasn't.
Thanx for the offer thou.

I just remembered somethin'. I don't know if it means anything or not, but did anyone else notice the skip in the scene w/ the huge Combine force crossing the bridge? I wonder, are they trying to hide something, or is it just a glitch in the video? Hmmm... :
Yeah...not willing to spend a chunk of change better spent on other things to get the files back. Hence, the manual work.
Yeah, I'll be backin' up alot now.
Yeah, I know I'm a dumbass. This is't the first time I've proven that fact.
Thanx for the link eight, but it's not finding anything
. Aw well, search and save.

Garg, since the hottness post was after mine, I'll assume it's for me and say thanx. Also, my apologize to anyone who dloads it, for the poor quality. I did use the High-Rez video for it, but w/ no knowledge of photo editing, it was the best I could do, still though, like alex said, it Is a nice capture (thanx for the compliment there too).

Yes they were deleted, and unfortunutly, there is no way of recovering them. ZL gave me a link to PC Inspector File Recovery, and I spent the better part of the day trying to recover them, but w/ negligable success.
See, when I went to take the screen cap of my desktop for the Dektop Thread, I placed all my icons/folders/files in the recycling bin to clean it off. Unfortunutly, when I used the restore all button, not all was restored. I tried a system restore to get the files back, but it didn't work and only raised more questions. It keeped some of the files that had been created after the restore point, and it only recovered the folders and not their contents. I lost files I had created and accumulated, files that were hard to find and took weeks to get. After using the recovery tool ZL told me about, i discovered that 95% of the files were lost or corrupted.
Now I have to spend the next few weeks, dedicated to finding new copies of all those files...some of which I didn't remember the names
cries.

I lost a lot of files that I'd have a long, hard time finding/getting again. Can anyone tell me how to manually get back the files or a FREE program that I can use to get them back?

Just decided on a new one for me.
If anyone else wants it, I made a full and widescreen version of it. They're low rez but it's the best I could do. Here's the link.
EDIT OH SHIT! I FUCKED UP BIG TIME! I need help. I moved all my files on my desktop into the recycling bin to clear it up for the big, and after using the restore all button, I lost several important files and folders. How can I get them back?!

Not bad. U seem to have access to the higher resolution video, u should get a screen cap of dog verses the strider, when he's jumpin' at it. That would make a bitchin' desktop background.
Edit
Hmm...I was able to get the high rez video. Thought it was an Insider exclusive. Anyway, I made a standard and widescreen version here for everyone. Not the best quality, but best I could do.
