It's a nice sprite, but it looks a little strange how her arms are behind her butt on the front view but not behind it on the back view.

I don't see an incentive for large sites like PA to do this. Sure they could get some publicity from a logo or whatever, but large sites like them don't really need it, they get enough hits already.
I think this idea would benefit the developers a LOT more than the publishers in it's current state.

Maybe if it was aimed at sites like adventuregamers.com and mixnmojo or whoever, it might just work...

About the characters: I love so many characters that it's so hard to decide but you got to use Elaine, Stan, LeChuck and the Voodoo-lady. I also want to see the barber pirates (Bill, Haggis and Edward), maybe the return of the Men of Low Moral Fiber (those slackers are funny), I liked Mr. Cheese so bring him in this one. If you're going to use Otis and Carla, please, make them so they forgive Guybrush for sinking the boat incident, beacuse I hated when they accuse him for that and never forgives him in MI4.

Yeah, maybe you should include one of the hairdressing pirates, i'd prefer Haggis as he had the coolest voice!

I'd go with the palm trees too, unless your game will have photo graphics like the last menu.

In the backwards anim it looks like his feet are on backwards, the end of his legs should be attached to the bottom of the feet, or maybe it's just the way i'm looking at it... These look great by the way!

Dr. Martens!!!!

I have no job because i don't need any money, or want any (well, maybe i want some a LITTLE).

I'm at the end of my first year of college. I wasn't able to apply to a university straight off from high school due to crap grades. I should've just skipped my last year of HS and went straight to college. In September i'll either be moving to Dundee to go to the uni there to study graphic design, since it's one of the best apparently, or stay on at college to do more design there instead.

You could always have tooltips for each image:
<img src="buttons/coder.gif" alt="I can help with CODING">

Or even do it properly and put:

<img src="buttons/coder.gif" title="I can help with CODING">

or even both:
<img src="buttons/coder.gif" alt="I can help with CODING"  title="I can help with CODING">

except, we use BBCode on the forums, so it would probably require  CJ to hack around with the YabbSE setup to get that working, as BBCode doesn't have alt or title tags for images AFAIK

I forget that IE is bad and makes alt attributes a tooltip when it shouldn't, oops! But all images should have an alt tag even if it's alt="".

I believe sig length is rather limited; if you wanted to display two or three icons with tooltips and alt-texts, I doubt it would fit.

There may be some sort of mod/hack for YaBB that does the same sort of thing, so chris could just edit it slightly.

This image has taken up desktop space for long enough, i noticed i hadn't even touched it since March last year. It's not much but i guess it's better here than in the recycle bin!

It was supposed to be a funny death penalty where criminals are hung by their neck and cars drive into them, but it was never really finished.

This is why I think text links are better.. no guesswork.

Also Morgan, to get your vanishing point extend Dan's grey lines in and where they cross you will get your VP. If you make all your lines go back to this VP then your room will always be in perspective.

[The best song about drugs in the world]

So, be it Rap/Rock/Hip-Hop/Country/Whatever, if it 'glorifies' violence, drugs, or other bad things, I consider it shit. Songs about those things where the point is, 'they're bad', are okay (in my opinion).

I don't think you can say a song's shit solely because it glorifies drugs, if that's the case then you're not really listening to the music, just the lyrics. So if you take one of the songs that glorifies drugs and change the words then it's no longer crap?

My top 5 or so bands... 4 of the singers have died of a drug overdose. Cobain (Nirvana), Layne Staley (Alice in Chains), Shannon Hoon (Blind Melon) and Andrew Wood (Mother Love Bone). I don't think music hugely influences whether or not you will take drugs since a lot of my music is about drugs and i'd never touch them, not even pot. I think if your music/mtv/media influences what you do then you're just a sheep anyway.

Alice in Chains - Junkhead (it doesn't glorify drugs or say they're "bad", get it from Kazaa and it's not rap either, they sound a bit like a dark U2 :P)
