I turn 15! Yay, one more year and I can drive! But wait theres more. Not only am I 15, but this is also my 2000th post! Woot!



Special thanks to Hyde for noticing and thanking me earily.

Long story short. I was at the movies the other day and saw an ad for the 2004 MTV Movie awards. The logo I could have swarn I saw before. Half-way through the movie it hit me, its the same design as an image I've seen on RON. So please, has anyone seen this logo, either on MTV or the RON version, or know if RON has copyright on this image if it is origional? Its the skeleton hand with the popcorn. I havent seen the image in forever and couldnt remember if thats how it looks. I looked and looked for the images but MTV doesnt have them online and RON has a new layout. Any ideas, or am I a sue happy fool?

So its time for another one. I think this weeks rules will have to do with... The AGS fighter.

Draw yourself as a fighter sprite. Its about time we got serious about The AGS fighter. The topic can be found here for reference.

Maximum Res: 70 X 130
Max Color: I'd say 16 but if you need more, take them, just dont go overboard.

Remember, make it as much like you as possible. 100 pixels should be about 5 and a half feet tall in comparison. Good luck.

Ok, I was pondering around the idea of continious walking and I thought up this little idea.


Imagine that these are all four sides of a building. Now we set scaling so that the character gets larger on the edges and smaller twards the middle. Making the walkable areas a band that has the same arc as the building would make it look like the character is walking all the way around.

Call me crazy, I dont know how to explain it further.

Anybody get where I am going? Maybe this is just stupid

Anybody run this? It looks really sweet. I'm trying it now.

Heres me as my MAGS character. I've also done a walk animation, but its a paint over of the one on Eric's page. But hey, I still think I did a good job.



Its a little jumpy. Oh well.

Wow, its been one year since I worked on a mags game. Heh, I think this is the farthest I've ever gotten.


*** NEW VERSION - LAST POST! ***

Well, my band is "official" now. We've got most of our members and we've got a few songs written. We wanted to look into t-shirts and webspace. Our t-shirt design is simple. Obviously, our name is Duck.

Well, what are some good companies that do t-shirts. I dont want no shitty cafe-press stuff, but I dont want to have to spend a ton and have to buy 100 shirts. I was thinking like 20 or so.

As for web space, I've been looking for some cheap stuff. I've been looking into a unlimited everything site. Its not very popular, but the "customers" seem to like it. Its probably a scam. Its cheap, but I know LGM still lurks, and I'm trying to scam him out of some money, so I wont list any info about the site. I really just want a lot for a little.

Any info or tips you have would be greatly helpful. Expect to see some music from us sometime in the near future.

I have had two webcams for about a year now. I only had one up for about 2 months and then stopped. I now am more interested in getting these webcams to work online.

I have used Camerades before but I have a thick firewall that my father loves to death. My father and I share internet through a D-Link and he is always bitching about how I need to keep my firewall up and antivirus up to date because we are very prone to hackers. I've had about 15 attemps in the past week, and its usually like that. My dad has access codes or something on his pc for work but the "hackers" always seem to crash mine.

Basicly I am asking for any websites that stream webcams for free and information on keeping a web cam running through a firewall with maximum protection. I would also like some info on setting up some code to run a cam off of my webspace, if it all possible.

Thanks a ton.

Hey, wahts going on? Just wanted everyone to know I'm not dead. Been a long while since I was on here. My internet at home isnt working with the boards, so I'm posting from school. I'm trying to get some work done while I am gone. Working on some games that hopefully you will like. Heres some stuff I've been doing. Over and out.







Oh! Theres a girl at my school that I think looks like CJ.

Ok, so its not 'Christmasy' but its for my cousin for Christmas. I still have to repaint the black but I ran out of black, so I have to go to the store in the morning. Its nothing really to crit or anything, just proving I'm not dead and that I really am doing something. Mostly because I only have one game, which sucks...



Sorry for the crappy photo, its too big to scan obviously. I have another downstairs that I'll take a picture of now...

Edit:

Ok, now another one. This is one of my dog.



Edit 2:
**See Below**

Well, I figured I needed a new revamp til I can make a nice one in flash and whatnot. I'm having java problems so I couldnt 'make' the site, but I have the image. The whole child of e thing is a little inside joke with some buddies in case you where wondering.

Well, I did a self portrait. It looks a bit like me. Though I am shure if Eric and Trap had a child It would look like this at age 15...



I dont plan on changing anything to it itself but any comments or tips would help with others I am doing...

I finally got gobliins to work. The reason is wasnt working before was something with my sound card, which I still dont get. The only way I have got it to work is to shut off the sound. I played it as a kid and I always remembered the sound effects being so silly. After about a half hour of playing I found myself making up sound effects when things happend. I had been doing it with out noticing. I though that this was odd. Do you think that knowing that there was music/sound effects the game. I knew what the sounds where and I was making them without intending to. I dont know, I may be crazy. Does this happen to anyone else?

Well, you may have heard my talk about this before. I have been working on an AGS pinball machine. I've tried many designs and styles, though I'm not happy with them... I was thinking maybe a contest where you draw what you think AGS Pinball should look like or whatever and then I would make the winner's. Agree, dissagree? Should I even try it? Give me your thoughts...

We where talking in irc and we thought we should make an Ags Mad Lib... So... Here it goes... I guess...

A lot of people have been banned from the forms such as ____ and ____. But it was all to make this a ____ place. We all ____ AGS!

Well, I havnt posted anything new here in a while. I went to a concert at the Iowa State Fair and got inspired to draw this guy. The mic stand and guitar need some help and I was wondering if anybody knew how to fix them. Same goes for the lips. And 10 points goes to anybody who can name who this is... Hint: The band he is the lead singer in starts with a G.



Edit: Hmm, maybe the "G" hint was too much... Anyway, I started coloring. I think it is obvious who it is now...



Eyes are messed but I think the guitar looks a little better now...

What do you think? How do I add hair?

[And if I dont pick a winner by the 14th Lgm is going to for me. My internet providers are assholes.]

Yay! My first time winning something on the AGS forums other then being stupid. Ok I will be gone the 12th so it will end the 13th. And if I dont pick a winner by the 14th Lgm is going to for me. My internet providers are assholes. Anyway, lets get started.

I always liked looking at the old sprite jams on erics page. So it will be simple this week.

Draw something you wouldnt like to find on or in your car.

Rules:
Must be smaller then 200x200
Only 10 colors
Must have your name somewhere

Good luck, and try not to be lazy and animate some of these

Me and my friend are makeing a video of a bunch of stuff. Mostly skating and streetfishing. Pretty much a jackass/m0ds movie. I really wanted to do all of the video work myself though I am temped to ask LGM for help. Here are two versions of a photo that I took from some tape. Any funny things, like street fishing, that you can think of (that are within reason) post here to help us out




*EDIT* Crap, I'm over my data transfer limit... Should come up any min...
*EDIT 2* Also, I wasnt shure where to put this, so move it if need be...
*EDIT 3* Another version... Oldschool.... Whatever, last frame is crap...

*EDIT 4* Well I have nothing else to do...

Well, I really like the idea of the AGS fighter. I like the way mine turned out without an outline. The only thing is that the AA looks bad on some colors. And I dont know what colors (or backgrounds for that matter) will be used. I tryed to make some universal AA but I failed. Can anyone help? C&C will also help...






Heh just noticed that the white of the eye is missing

**EDIT** Fixed the word "soem" because my post was typed so nicely
