I can vouch for Carnivac's use of Netflix, it's like the only thing I've ever seen him do with his PS3. As for me I'm too poor to afford such fancy services. I mostly just watch stuff online... for free...

And is it me or are anti-virus programs almost as bad as the viruses they protect you from? They're like some over-zealous hollywood movie cop that blows up half the neighborhood just to arrest someone for tax evasion. I've been knocking heads with AVG for the last 2 weeks because it keeps crying wolf every single god damn time I turned on Phantasy Star Online. "No it's not a virus." "Yes I'm sure." "For the millionth fucking time LET! IT! RUN!" This morning I've had enough. I told AVG to go fuck itself as I shut it down.

 I just have netflix for the wii and watch shows instantly, the disk part is barely worth it, atleast for me.

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/18/2013 6:30:17 AM

I've been pretty happy with Netflix. I use it on my PS3.  And I access the UK, US and Canadian Netflix libraries to get even more from my £5.99 a month subscription.  With that and the BBC iPlayer also on my PS3 I've not bothered paying the £140+ TV license (an annoying UK cost for watching broadcasted channels) for past couple years now.

user
dumbo (Level 3 Private Eye) at 4/17/2013 6:46:31 PM

I've usually liked most sci-fi shows from over the years (Star Trek on up). So...

But now you've got me even more excited than when I first saw it on Netflix, cozier! I'm already enjoying it and I'm on Episode 11 Season 1.


user
greenraven (Level 9 Executioner) at 4/17/2013 6:24:00 PM

It's alright. It's your typical scifi post-apocalypse theme sprikled with a wise cracking know-it-all super soldier and his adopted daughter.

The thing I have my eye on is how they're going to live up to the promise of blending the game with the show. I'll wait until the game's on sale on steam though.


user
crozier (Level 5 Soldier) at 4/17/2013 6:02:05 PM

 Best show in the world! The glorious thing about Fringe is it gets better after every season. Seasons 3-5 were fantastic. You're in for a treat, dumbo.


user
RileyFiery (Level 6 SWAT) at 4/17/2013 5:39:19 PM

I probably won't be watching it again any time soon. Don't let that stop you from trying to enjoy it though.


user
dumbo (Level 3 Private Eye) at 4/17/2013 5:29:31 PM

Is it good? I forgot all about that one.

Hell... I just started Fringe on Netflix!

Too little time in a day.

Haven't been much productive lately, Just relaxing and preparing for summer.

Looked through some of my random experiments from last year, and this one was visually interesting: Labrats

Each coloured tile could be a pixel art texture by itself as well.

Thought about crazy shit like, maybe the player takes some esoteric drugs from some shaman, and suddenly he sees the true nature of the world, that it's just the surface on a cosmic wave pervading everything, and maybe he can abuse this insight through some weirdo gameplay mechanic. Dunno. Maybe speed tricks the player can do, "surfing" it, while all other creatures are oblivious to what's going on, they don't get it, flat as that.


user
Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/17/2013 8:05:45 AM

Heh. It worked fine for it's day and I didn't have much problem getting used it again after so long.  Pressing spacebar toggles the rather large UI on and off so it don't get in the way too much.


user
Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 4/17/2013 8:04:07 AM

Cheers for that. Heh.  Have copied that down for future reference.  There are other options too (the palette is covering up some).  The ones that are actual text were translated  into english (you can see the 'Select colour 1' is in the system font) and the remaining german is what was pixelled onto the buttons.  Guess whoever translated it for english was perhaps too lazy or incapable of pixelling the buttons with english versions.

carnivac.co.uk/temp/gpaint.png Repixelled some of my Amstrad CPC homage game sprites on a CPC emulator using GPaint, one of the first graphics programs I ever used back in the late 80's/early 90's and got from Amstrad Action's cover mounted cassette tape.  Just cos I'm an 8 bit maniac or something.  Kinda fun using the joypad.  Still don't know what most of the menu words mean. I got an F in German at school...

But then again, if it was not for editing habbo hotel sprites I might not have been here either...

Actually I write there that I have been making 'pixel art' for 2 years... Hmm, I wonder what got me started! I remember making a terrible travian pixel art skin but that was not the first thing either...

To be honest the chatterbox is just a shortly lived OTT that dies after 11 pages.

Fire up mspaint, because it's time for pillowshading made easy.

@hap: Most of them look pretty good, though I thought I made them small enough to avoid linebreaks. Others need work. The point of the long-forgotten activity was that others could make smilies in the given style to fill in the blanks. I don't pixel much these days so it's unlikely I'll make more anytime soon.

I work, have a family, and try to be a part of a few art websites each day in my sad... sad life (tah some). Sorry if that's not good enough for you, buddy (all spoken with a whisper (except that first part with the exclamation point)).

Just wanted to help with the voting process is all. If the mods just want to give me that right I would certainly take it without having to upload anything honestly.

I mean some people only come around here when they have something new to post. I've been here doing my thing/sh** since 2005. AND.. I've even been a Level 11 here on PJ before. AND...again, I have NO sadness.
