Oi people - think before you click!Yesterday I got spammed to hell with messages linking to different variants of this image:
They can have slightly different graphics or contain different links but the message is always basically the same - go to this page and you'll receive 20 000

.
I have to ask the question - how dim do you have to be to fall for it?
Ok let's see - we have an image hosted on a profile that is 1 day old and asks you to visit a website with a strange url with a promise of a financial reward on an another website. How do you even imagine that would work? And now, of course, people start crying that their computers got infected with malware. Which is great - every genius who fell for this obvious phishing scam deserved it. I hope your shitty computer burns and you along with it.
I know this is a no-duh for 90% of people reading it but for the sake of the rest lets revise what we all should know about online phishig. And before you go all:
No, no you can't.

Bronies go nuts, and Nintendo Sucks?Equestria Girls
The trailer to "Equestria Girls" (the humanized MLP spinoff film) finally was released today. Aaaannnd everyone's freaking out. Again.
You know, it actually looks pretty decent. Bronies... please understand: I know you're a major unexpected demographic for the show. I know you enjoy seeing shout-out's become canon within the show, and appreciate how the creators do little things here and there for you. But... the show isn't made for you. This is not Cartoon Network and the target demographic isn't 25 year olds in college. You're a nice addition to the target demographic of little girls, but you are not the driving force behind MLP.
I don't want this to sound mean, but it needs to be said. This is where it becomes very important to understand the fine line between being a fan of the show and thinking that because you've invested so much energy into the show that you're entitled to things.
I'm sure the movie won't be as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It honest

Opinions are a Dangerous thing: Art StylesThis isn't about narking on anyone no, infact this is just my own muses really! You could say this is a journal for ENCOURAGEMENT! *SHINES*
I find sticking to one style restrictive if you are a beginning/moderate artist! (even professionals I might say! though I can't speak for everyone)
Having a distinctive look on how your art is done and produced is understandable and its a desire to appear unique to the point some one can just SEE your work and instantly think 'Oh! that's Ten-days!' or something along the line. However, when you are trying to find who you are and what kind of art you are to produce, I recommend trying, well, a lot of different things! Different styles, mixing styles, different colouring techinque, brushes, tools, shading. Don't feel dependant on what you are already doing and don't feel pressured by people just for trying new things!
Push out of your comfort zone. Can't draw hands? don't avoid it! draw the heck out of them! (how else are you going to learn?)

Made a video again :P...another fake Parashi Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGa8pPlOxuQ
It's really choppy and suuuuuper scribbly because I took like 30 seconds to draw each frame. Please fill in the gaps and gloss over the art with your wonderful imagination! I made it in Windows Movie Maker which is an absolutely evil program =o=
I'll try to fix up the ugly pictures and maybe add some color when I have time, and reupload another version later :b (don't know when though.) For now feel free to watch this one and laugh at it huhuhu

Eurovision nightGot myself some ice cream and will be making myself compfy on the sofa so I'm ready for the big, glittery, horrible music, camp, pointless politics, drama that is eurovision. It never disappoints me.

Sadly I will be alone for this one. Matt had to do a concert he didn't want to do, so I will be live tweeting (humonlazydiva) my impression of the whole shebang.

since i'm back on windows obviously i had to install some classics and shoot guys with my sixaxis using a combination of motioninjoy(drivers), xpadder(key mapping + left stick deadzone tweaking), and joytokey(the smoothness and responsiveness of the right stick is far superior using joytokey than it is using xpadder) i can snipe a fast mover from 1000m or 2m using my thumb and i'll bet money i do it just as fast as any mouse humper. i'm passionate about my sticks. configured right its better than ~~your gay ass mouse, fanboy. what's that?..you need a whole goddamn desk and a fucking switchboard to shoot a bitch? you're gay~~ a mouse/keyboard.

back on topic, i use a lot of stuff on my system. lots of ui prettification. that won't do when you're running a game. so what you do is create an alternate user account and turn off everything that isn't the game! try it out if you game on windows.

does anyone know of a better way to perfectly emulate say, cod(ps3) style aiming? using the aforementioned setup my stick is basically that fast and that smooth.. obviously with the variable fps on windows (as opposed to a box dedicated to gaming) it can sometimes feel twitchy but i can shoot as well as on ps3 i guess is my point. if you know of any other key mapping apps let me know

hehe never got used to aim with anything except mouse.. not touchpads, tablets, gamepads etc.. but I guess its cause I am so addicted to mouse and prefer over the others.. anyway, I stopped playing these action games in the spring, so I can have more free time.. now I just play those strategies and sport sometimes, and I am honestly happy with those..

~IzzuThug Jun 20, 2011

what games do you play with that setup?

~Aaron-A-Arts Jun 20, 2011 Student Digital Artist

farcry, quake 4, tribes vengeance.. i'll probably get fear and hl2. maybe see if i can get doom 3 working on this system. i don't have a gfx card so i can only do so much. no current gen games are going to play with a tolerable frame rate.

~IzzuThug Jun 20, 2011

you really should get hl2 and all of it's episodes, also you should get portal 2 (I never played the first one); do you play multiplayer shooters?

~Aaron-A-Arts Jun 20, 2011 Student Digital Artist

oh i love hl2.. the main assault rifle.. the one you find on the combine, the one that that guy demonstrates at the end of the last episode at white forest, and that dude says that in the city he used to take out 15 hunters a day with his bare hands ROFL
there is nothing more satisfying than shooting that weapon.

i love the thump it makes and the way it handles. the feedback is just awesome. i could go on about that game like an obsessed fanboy.

i don't do multiplayer much anymore. i was in kz3 for a while but haven't gotten back into it since psn went down. if tribes: ascend is released on ps3... i won't make themes anymore. i'll drop out of school and work at mcdonnalds to make just enough money to support playing tribes.

~IzzuThug Jun 21, 2011

Yea that weapon in hl2 was probably my favorite just b/c of the way it sounds and functions. I pretty much like every weapon though as they're all great and each has a function. I remember that quote and if you stay there longer him and the other guy get in an argument, it's quite hilarious. That game is awesome and I enjoy replaying it every time, can't wait for the next episode.

As for multiplayer you should try out Quake Live. It's free and is fun, nothing has changed except for added maps and weapons. You should really give it a try.

~xllx Jun 20, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I'd say run a timed demo on each of the levels and see what your max fps is averaged across them. Once you know that you can set the maximum fps that will render using the "com_maxfps" command without the quotes. That way you won't have moments where your input seems laggy or really smooth due to low or really high frame rate. You might have to play around with it for a while to get it just right. Also turning on Vsync might actually help in this regard as well.

On a side note do you play Battlefield: Bad Company 2?

~Aaron-A-Arts Jun 20, 2011 Student Digital Artist

never played it. i don't think my vaio can handle it

i've been playing quake 4 and that's pretty much the limit. its a 2009 model but no gfx card.

so i'm assuming max fps can only be set for specific games? i searched a bit for quake 4 and found some stuff about the 60 cap but nothing about setting max

thanks for the info tho

~theRealPadster Jun 20, 2011 Hobbyist Interface Designer

I don't see how people can do anything with precision with a gamepad. I guess everyone's different

~Aaron-A-Arts Jun 20, 2011 Student Digital Artist

i'm not going to lie, it takes dedication to master the thumb stick, but it's worth it to be able to sit on your couch and game without some crazy rig on your lap or something lol
