I'll have to try it.

Good Luck Mods, From what I've seen you are really dedicated.

Taking a break from making death threats here, Is famous dave's good? We got one here in indianapolis but I haven't ate there.

Them were pretty funny except the last one.

Thanks!


Edit:

A man and a friend are playing golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about to chip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takes off his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: “Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You truly are a kind man.”

The man then replies: “Yeah, well we were married 35 years.” 

A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”

The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.

The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“

I too was just about to ask what's a rape joke? A joke that's rape related? A joke's a joke, some are funny, some not. It seems as if there's a lot of internet peer pressure that comes with these and the dead babies: basically you have to find them funny or else you're posh or a whiney kid. The problem is, most of it isn't even good, I mean, funny. If a joke is funny, people will laugh.

For instance, there's a joke about the island shootings in Norway, around half of my friends found it funny, the other half didn't, and they have a right not to

I remember hearing about the shootings?

I'm curious though, What was the joke and did you find it funny?

Problem solved.

Haha this is great.

Nice boobs sketch.

I have to say the best boss battle for me was "The End" in metal gear solid 3. (Thinking about it almost all my favorites are from that series.)

Spoiler

I love the fact he died of old age if you saved your game and waited to long.

I played some of arcanum I thought it was pretty awesome, I'm playing divine divinity atm.


Edit: Ok I finished it, Haha the rayman origins part had me laughing hard. Thats exactly what happen while I was playing it on my vita.

[Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy BBQ Sauce tm]

Who forced you to fill in a date or mark the map? 

If you really don't feel comfortable, you can simply leave it empty.

In my mind it was like a red-herring left on my trail for my many stalkers to find, one in a series of mis-clues subtly designed to lead them in ever tightening inward spirals until they eventually bonked heads somewhere in the crazy mushroom lady's back lot.  To leave my personal information blank would invite inquiry, but providing plausible alternatives would throw the hounds off the scent until it was too late (cue coconut sound for head bonking).  Maybe I wasn't even born in May.  Maybe I wasn't even born at all.  Maybe this is all just an elaborate ruse designed to confuse and obfuscate any trace of my IRL existence....

So I suspect you to have fun in lying instead of the “excuse” you told us.

You don't understand what it's like!  You're minding your own business and then suddenly there's this faint whiff of Famous Dave's Rich & Sassy BBQ Sauce ^tm and then even more suddenly there's Ponch breathing heavily over your shoulder, trying to spoon and asking you to read more quickly so he can turn the page.  I can't live like that any more!  The price of freedom is eternal anonymity.  You don't know me, man!  Back off.  Just.... just... back off, man!  Just be cool, and everything will be alright.

Spoiler

That so hilarious, Normally when ponch gets like that he just needs a good milkin' *Shudders*

Oh my gosh! It's Wednesday! That means that it's time for another:

Bluecuptools Podcast! (Episode 6, in which we discuss boss battles, review Killzone 2 and Rayman Origins and add more silliness than ever!)

B-B-But its only been Wednesday for 45mins.



Edit:

That's how ruthlessly efficient the BlueCupToolsâ,,¢ team is.

Guess I'll have to listen to it!

Damn, and I was just getting ready for bed too! Sigh. Well, time to go wake up the dog and go for a walk. 

That made me laugh in real life.


Grundislav you need to go play metal slug! For me its the most beautiful pixel graphic game!

Thats why I couldn't find your house...

Who the hell have I been stalking all this time? God, I hope it's not Ryan Timothy! All you Canadians look alike to me. 

Don'tcha talk aboot him like that AND YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIS HOOSE! Though he's safe anywho with his guard MOOSE!

Edit:

May be searching for some references like this might help to give you an idea of how to do the sky more interesting?   

I have that same picture saved from last night when I was looking at references haha.

I was scared to try that so I went with easier clouds. I wish I drawn more environment related stuff.
Thanks though I might go ahead try clouds like that.

I think here would be best to bend the world a little bit, unless you're going for a 1:1 Pripyat thing. Maybe some of the lamp posts will be enough? or draw the beginning and end of the bridge all in one background?

I will prolly do it all in one background I can always add onto the sides easy. I kinda wanted to keep it as close as possible but my options open up if I can't make it interesting enough.

Toning down the rain would be good, but I don't think the skyline is interesting enough for a whole background. I assume this is you going into Pripyat. You should have lots of ruble and burned out cars and such. You could have part of the railing destroyed with skid marks, it tells a story through the environment. Here's a quick paint over of a few ideas to make the background interesting.



I didn't have time to do it properly but you should get the basic idea. If I remember correctly the bridge you made is a real one near Pripyat, I know this doesn't follow it but I think this would look a whole lot better aesthetically.

Thats what I had in mind at first but then I found out about the actual bridge.
The actual game isn't apocalyptic or anything so I'm not sure about the wrecked car and stuff, I still need to add all the overgrowth to it too.
The idea of the more destroyed look is a good idea, I want to keep the backdrop interesting too. With the reactor in the distance(I have some plans on making it more interesting.)

Hmm...



Btw here is the bridge if anyone is curious.

I don't like the Tosh.0 guy.

He just apologized recently for pointing out a lady in the audience and saying wouldn't it be funny if 5 guys just raped her.
or something like that... I saw the article after looking at this thread.

Thanks Ponch, Tabata -I really appreciate that.  Except... I kind of lied on my AGS profile for the sake of privacy.  Like all good-hearted people I was actually born in May (*gasp!*).  ....And since we're coming clean here, I've also misrepresented my location on the AGS map and my willingness to do AGS tutoring.  And I'd do it again, see.  With impunity -IMPUNITY!  Buwahahahahahahahahah!!1!!!

Thats why I couldn't find your house...

Thanks, monkey! I'll incorporate it into the next update. 

Now let's all get ready for the Two Minutes Hate (Don't feel guilty, Dualnames totally deserves it! )

Haha sites looking great the buttons gave me a good laugh.

I am no artist, so I can only tell you how I feel about it, but I can't help so much in explaining about how to improve.

Those extra clouds near the moon give me a strange feeling â€" especially during rain, because they look like some nice wheather clouds (and not enough to let it rain). The rest of the sky is dark cloudy, but if so, the moon can't to be seen that bright and clear.
So I think that you first should decide, how much of the moon will be able to give you light (and where) and if you leave the moon to be the only light source, I'd prefer the blue-shaded version during rain.
The other color/version could look nice for areas that might be lightened by (for example) lamp posts.

Yeah I got that vibe to with the rain, I might make it not have rain. The sky looks so empty with no clouds though hmm....
There won't be lamp posts since its abandoned(Or is it )city and from the pictures I've seen there wasn't any lamp posts on that bridge.

What if I make the sky brighter and ton down the rain to a sprinkle? Hmm...

Its ok.

If it makes you feel any better I'm a greasy wop.

Andail!

First I have to give you kudos for your art, I love how beautiful the rooms are and the subtle animations of stuff like the tv/fireplace/fishtank.

I didn't play through it yet but in the backroom of the house(Epic Bookshelf/Fishtank) the walkable area is a bit close to the chair in the bottom left so the character renders over it.

The story is compelling so far.

I'm not sure if its just me and it seems wierd to comment about it since your a better artist then me but his walk cycle seems a bit to much.
But that's just being picky I can't really find anything I don't like a ton in your art.

I'll try to do a full playthrough and fill out your sheet.

The finished product will be for sale at a reasonable price in about a year from now.

Good
