You may need to right click on the taskbar and "unlock" it first.

I'm just wondering how they didn't invent HIV resistant condoms yet  ;).

I have some, but I call them pants.

You can catch it many other ways though, so that's really no quick-fix.

Someone made a poochy reference in the elysiun forums too. Nice anim.

General Discussion / The new Looney Toons
Fri 11/03/2005 18:03:56
I don't know if you guys have heard about this or not because it's fairly new, but brace yourself for some crazy shit.

The Warner Brothers decided to redesign the Looney Toons to fit in with today's hip anime generation.

Click here to view the preview. (.mov, 8mb)

In short:

QuoteBuzz: Team leader with laser and martial arts expertise
Duck: Weapons expert with built-in sonar
Roadster: Super speed
Spaz: Team muscle with jaws of steel
Lexi: Disguise expert with super hearing
Slick: Vehicles and surveillance; regeneration abilities

This is utterly ridiculous, much emphasized by this parody flash movie (not worksafe).

I've tried Goldwave in the past to alter my voice, it didn't seem to be much help. Is there a feature I missed?

There's a pitch changer that doesn't effect the length of the sound. That's the beef of any voice modifier.

You still haven't addressed whether or not this party is a gay orgy. If it is a gay orgy, I still might attend, but I don't know if I can come.

I only use my cell phone as my means of contact. I get an occasional wrong number, from time to time. What pisses me off, is the people who call, and it's the wrong number, and then they call again. But other than that, I'm quite happy phone wise.

Me too, but once the same girl called "the wrong number" four times over the course of a few days. Apparently she was trying to reach her boyfriend, so the fourth time I thought it was pretty absurd that she hadn't corrected the issue yet.

Me: Hello
Girl: Hey baby.
Me: Hey, what's up?
Girl: Nothing, what about you?
Me: I think we should see other people.
Girl: What?
Me: Yeah, I'm getting kind of tired of this, "only one girl, all of the time," thing. Bye.
Girl: No, wait, you as..
*click*

I don't know why she didn't call me back. She probably dialed the right number that time, I guess.  :D

I think it's hilarious that she didn't recognize that my voice wasn't her boyfriend.

I think there's a control issue here.. she seems to be afraid to take charge of her own life, she wants and feels like she needs someone else to do it for her. People who don't really have a passion or ambition tend to get this way because they ride someone elses to fill the gap (regardless of how little passion or ambition this guy actually has) and to feel less useless, because at least that way they're serving someone's ambition.

I think the only way to get her out of this is if you make her get out of it. If you're not willing to do that or to find someone else who is, I still wouldn't feel bad about it. It really can't be blamed on someone else forever. The only way she'll ever get reality is to be removed forcibly from the situation. Some people let emotion prevail over logic too much, you're going to need to do the thinking for her and when she's safe and able to reflect sensibly she'll really begin to understand.

Seems like I'm not the only one who's having awful girl problems right now - I promise I'm not going to start a thread about it though. ;)

The personality and soul of a hand-modelled character just isn't there with Poser. They also tend to look really stiff to me. I think if 3d characters aren't 100% realistic then they shouldn't try to be, because stylized characters are soo much more enjoyable than a 90% real looking model that just isn't quite there.

What should we put in the team name for AGS?

AdventureGameStudio or just AGS?

People tend to think that the more popular commercial progs like 3DS Max, Maya, etc. are more user friendly and Blender was made to be efficient, not user friendly.. but I've grown accustomed to it along with tens of thousands of others. If you have a lot of money or no conscience (pirating) then you could go for the others.

it's kind of difficult..

There's a free program with open documentation available at blender.org (click documentation in the sidebar). You can download it at blender3d.org. There is a forum at elysiun.com, but read the manual before you ask any questions, because the basics are all covered there and people will think you are an idiot if you go shooting off easy to answer questions without reading the manual.

Every now and then I look up from my math and engineering coursework to see what's going on at AGS Forums, and this is why.

I love Valentine's day! I'm single, but whenever there's an excuse to eat chocolate I'm all for it. The trick is to wait the day after Valentines day, to buy everything. Because, let's face it, Valentines day is an expensive day.

Aha, me too. I also love Halloween and Easter for this reason. Tonight I'm baking cookies for friends and when I went to the grocery store there were still people looking at cards and buying flowers at 8pm. Such procrastinators. If they're that bad in the doghouse, they should just wait until tomorrow and they can get three times the roses at half the price.

Also, Valentine's day is the best day to pick up chicks ever. You can tell the single and lonely ones by the blank expressionless faces, and they are much more likely to accept a date than otherwise. After this, I think I'm screwed, but for a week I am a lady's man.

Faux homophobe? I guess that made sense to someone. That I fake being afraid of gay people or something. Something... I forget where this was going exactly. But it was something partially derogatory towards you, possibly involving a mullet, I really can't remember. But take offense anyway...

bwahaha.. no offense intended. "Faux homophobe" being related to your formerly rigid stance against homosexual marriage, etc.

I never had a mullet.. I just said I did. I think. Some people said it was getting long in the back, but really it was long all around, and.. yeah.

Semen cures cancer, and I totally saw this coming you faux homophobe. I hope you get married and are forced to enjoy every excrutiatingly painful anal penetration related to it.

The background noise in the Crypt MID seems kinda annoying to me, but you know the drill with different sound cards.

Drifter is my favorite of the three, though Creepy sounds vaguely familiar.
