Icons were custom made by me with MS Paint. Could you tell?

That's uhh... very original.

I have around 10 different that switch every 15 minutes. This is the current one.

Too many notes...

Threw this together in about an hour in After Effects. Bloody pleased with how it turned out.

Have a 16:9 version of that? Maybe original PSD? I want it green.

Just take a clip of the area you like most, then recolour it in photoshop.

That's an awesome wallpaper Mr. Archibald.

Thanks

Here's the original, plus a green one. Feel free to crop a 16:9 version.

Maybe original PSD

AE doesn't work with PSDs. Well, it can open them, but these have never been PSDs.

i agreethought this was a sweet shot.
even though i went boom

Is that World of Tanks? Never tried it, but PC Gamer magazine love it. Quite tempting.

Here's another few along the same lines as the first two.

Yeah dude. I'm really enjoying that game.
Best thing is like... You DON'T need to pay to play unlike some other games. The main advantage paying nets you is the savings of time.
Being a premium member gets you +50% more money and XP per battle but its not necessary.
There are some tanks you can buy for cash that really Rake in money too, but they're only slightly better than other tanks in their class and a skilled player can take them out.

It's very team based but most of the people who play it try to be rogues and it is frustrating when you, as an individual, are contributing to the team and doing well, but your team gets steamrolled because they're all stupid, and you lose the benefit of gaining XP for the win. And repair costs get steep later on.
If you want to play, let me know and I'll start a new account and platoon with you. It's so much fun playing with someone you know and trust as a team mate.

Also. Those pics are SICK. I'm definitely jealous of your talents man. And your Sims intros are so professional. You definitely belong in your field.

You definitely belong in your field.

I said that very same thing to a sheep the other day.

I'm so glad that somebody else reckons Archie belongs in a field. Well, more of an enclosure.

Would it be out of line to dedicate a post to saying "lol"?

No?

Then LOL.

Tetsu0, you're terribly kind. I don't really have time to learn a new game atm - I barely have time for BF3 as it is, but I'm definitely going to keep WoT in mind.

Here's a couple more because I'm enjoying messing with this new plugin too much. Best £200 I've ever spent.

Those look pretty sexy Archie.

And I redid my icons so they are less derpy. The idea was fun but it got kind of embarrassing when people would notice and look at me with their questioning, accusing eyes.The icons for Half-Life, Black Mesa and Q.U.B.E were made by me, as I couldn't find any hi-res versions of the original icons.

The wallpaper itself, I got from 4chan.

Archie you made those with Adobe After Effects? I thought it was just for editing videos. Very nice btw.

Cheers!

Adobe's video editing software is called Premiere Pro.
After Effects is for motion graphics and VFX.
