Try Emule, it's like kazaa, but with no spyware or ad-ware... And it's horribly slow, too!

Sorry, had to modify this to make it more realistic...

Sorry, had to modify this to make it more realistic.

Teh AGS forums, of course.
www.eatpoo.com/phpBB2 Another forum, mostly art.
www.mfisn.com directory of funny/strange etc links, updated daily.
And just browsing through my favourites, mostly art, music and webcomics.

First things first.
If you want to get better at art, and are willing to spend time on it, DON'T. I repeat, DON'T read all those how-to tutorials. The time I spend on ulearning these things could've been used for better things.

Read this.
Then read this.

It takes some time, but you will develop much further in art and will end up being amazingly awesome. IF you choose to spend time on it.

That being said, do some figure drawings, look at pictures for reference, and if you really want to draw like those guys at Marvel, try looking at comic books and applying the styles you see there to your figure drawings. But I don't recommend that. It seems much better, to me anyway, to develop your own style in art.

Good luck with your artistic endeavours, in whichever path you choose to take.

That could have something to do with him not being the one who is making the game, Zooty.
thomasvoss is.

The sand doesn't look too insane for me.
Looks like a hill. ._.

Perhaps.
But this is an English speaking forum, and it sounds racist.
Nobody is accusing him of being racist, just saying that the file name is rather offensive.

Paintovar.
Just added a little mound of sand near the tree, to make it look a bit less like it's floating, and a noise filter on the sand for texture.

Wonderful changes.
The grass, in its current position, looks a bit out of perspective. Try spreading it out further into the background, maybe.
Also, try adding a little detail where the tree trunk meets the sand, currently it just looks as if the tree is floating above the sand, there.

Alright, then.
Scummbuddy gets mine.

Here's a rather good tutorial for clouds, hope it helps!

Ah, sorry, then.
In that case:

Spoiler

All odd dice have a dot in the middle. That is the rose. The dots around the middle one are the petals. Simply count them, and you have succeeded!

Sorry if I misunderstood, anyway.

It doesn't relate to a rose and its petals...
It just shares a similiarity to a game called "Petals Around the Rose".
Which can be found here: http://www.borrett.id.au/computing/petals-j.htm

Here you go, mirrored, just for you.

I'm going to delete this in a few days (wouldn't want to hog all of TeranRich's bandwidth), so if you want to make a mirror of this, please do.

Also, Roger (on #AGS) has a rather small (but classy!) archive of AGS games, mostly old. You may want to check it out if you're looking for an old AGS game.
Enjoy!

This is probably the first time I like the original sprite more than ProgZ's edit.
Sorry Proggie, but the original characters have a certain... charm, to them.

Re acting - funny bit of trivia, the film was done with NO rehearsing at all. The actors just... did it.

That's... not really a good excuse, though, is it?

Anyway, I've seen the film and enjoyed it.
I wouldn't say I was "impressed" with it. "Seven" is definitely better. But it is an entertaining film and I would probably watch it again.
I thought the acting was horrible, but I never expect much from horror-ish films.
Even though this one's more of a thriller.

That being said, my opinion might have been different if my friends wouldn't have told me:

Spoiler

About Elwes's charecter cutting his own foot off. I knew it was going to happen, and basically sat through the whole film wondering, "hmm... When's he going to cut his foot off?".

Probably ruined the film a bit for me, but as I said, it was still a fun film to watch.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I'm sure that could work.

Could it be someone who didn't want to start a new thread about this and only get replies saying "OMG THIS THING HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE *LINK* *LINK* *LINK* N00B"?

Geez.

Looks like the Grand Theft Auto font.
You can get it at http://www.gta-sanandreas.com/downloads/index.php

The AGS forums don't re-write URLs.
But it was just a mistake, and anyway, the portfolio link was fine.
I like the design of the site, much more appealing than DeviantArt, but if I was willing to pay to get a shorter URL, I'd just as well pay for hosting and build my own portfolio...
Nonetheless, thanks for bringing that site to our attention.
I might use it once I have something worth showing.

[Sidenote] Dart didn't post that message, it was me... I'm using her account to count the FOREGO nominations, and I forgot to log off.   
Speaking of the FOREGOs. Nominate stuff. Please. We're not getting enough nominations, and if this year's FOREGOs fail, you're all to blame! [/sidenote]

[Neil Dnuma is the winner!]

Alright, after reviewing all of the entries (got more than I expected, to be honest!), I have decided to declare that...

Neil Dnuma is the winner!

Now, come up with a theme for the next animation competition, and start it up!
