Hey people.  I won't make this into a habit.  I've been trying to set up my webcam and I've finally got it working.  Now Skype won't recognise it and I was hoping it would because I want to talk to my Sister tomorrow (we're twins and its our birthday and I'm in Japan so this is gonna be the first time in 24 years that we won't be able to share our birthday together).

The reason Skype won't recognise it is that it says I need the latest version of DirectX... and I can't download this from the Microsoft Website because I don't have genuine windows.

Is there anywhere Else I can get the lastest DirectX or does anyone know a way round the Genuine Windows dabacle?

Cheers people... Last question I swear.  I'll be working on 'A Windowcleaner's Apprentice' soon I'm sure you're all really excited (pfffhhttt).

try VirtualDub

I've just downloaded it... looks like a good programme but it does't seem to acknowledge the presence of my webcam... bit strange.

Thanks anyway Candle.

Does anybody know a good (free) program I can use to cut and splice videos and add a soundtrack.
I don't want anything too technical, I'm just playing about with my new webcam, but Windows Movie Maker sucks.

Preferably something that will work on my relatively low-spec laptop, please.. hehe.

Thanks guys.

Does anyone use this site?  It doesn't seem to be working.  I hope they haven't been shut down.  Could just be having a few server issues, but Im paranoid.

Cool, I remember you announcing this bad-boy.
...downloading now...

On the short, medium and long game lists I reckon there should be an option to list them in order of realese, newest first, as opposed to alphabetically.  That way all the newest games will be easily accessible.

I dont know how easily this can be arranged or if anyone else thinks this would help, but I just thought Id suggest it.

Cheers

Yay Sydneys back!!  I cant wait for this.  Is it going to be longer or than the first?

Don't rush for our sakes.  I hope the soundtrack is as good as the first one aswell... That has to be one of my favourite soundtracks for an AGS game.

 I would make his trousers slightly baggier.  At the moment he has ankle swingers.

This isn't so much a paint over, I just quickly pulled up the sides to give you an idea of how to improve the perspective.



A wall never appears smaller in the foreground unless it's built wonky.  It should always get smaller as it gets further from the "camera".  

He's an interesting character.  what does he do? is he the main character or a baddie?

This background has gone from great to bloody brilliant since the first post.
Its much busier and the cobwebs are a great touch.  The thick black border gives it an eerie sense of claustrphobia and I can't wait to play a game with more backgrounds like this.

I must admit.  I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about this film but it's had some good reviews and the trailer is pretty awesome, I might just have to go and see this one.

Cool site ivy... can't wait until there are some tutes on there.

Yaaayyyy.
Muse have been added to the list on http://www.fujirockfestival.com/.

I was a bit gutted that I was going to miss the gigs at the new Wembley stadium, but I'm going to Fujirock, and now I know my favourite band Muse are playing I am over the mooon.

Yeh, that Charlie Feathers track is a great song
Here's his Myspace page.

http://www.myspace.com/charliefeathersrockabilly

It's on there with a few more of his tracks.

Wierd, even though I'm still logged in i keep getting pages with "guest" still there, but then I click on a board or a post and it says i'm logged in again.
I've also noticed it seems a bit slower than before.

Hehe.
I've found one now, thanks guys.
I found one of these famous "Bush Clocks" that count down to the end of GWBs reign.
Then I just messed about with the parameters to get what I wanted.
Check out my site to see it in action.

No this isn't a Tribute to Richard Whitely OBE, but more of a cry for help.

As some of you may know I'm going to Japan for a working holiday, and I've just booked my flight.
I'm really excited about it all and I want to put a countdown timer on my blog and/or website for my leaving date..
I did a search in google but the only ones it came up with were either plastered in adverts or had to be paid for.

Does anybody know any good sites where I might be able to find a decent timer that is FREE and doesn't look shite.
Cheers Guys, I appreciate it.

Sorry for killing the thread 

You gonna announce a winner Helm?
Or give us another one to work on?

Here's my second attempt.
Dunno why I bothered really, hehe
