I'd be more optimistic if Signourney wasn't signed on to this... she's a fantastic actor, but some of her ideas for where the series was eventually to go were pretty inane. Anyone ever read any of the comics / books that were an offshoot of the series pre Alien 3? Not saying they should use any of their plots, but they did have some occasionally interesting ideas in there.

Yeah, generally (stereotypically) speaking we get along just fine. Rows *can* erupt over Scotland's role in policing Ireland during The Troubles; the Black Watch, a Scottish regiment, were pure bastards to the Irish by most accounts, yet in Perthshire they are revered and adored by the populace that sends their sons to join them. Interestingly, the Black Watch were heavily involved during the Highland clearances (read: genocide) in Scotland, but revisionist history tends to gloss over that fact. Point this out in a debate / argument involving the Irish and you have made a friend for life. Less little brother, more Master / Servant syndrome. Those who perceive themselves to be powerless tend to lash out when they think their masters aren't looking, curse and swear them etc. Think Upstairs and Downstairs, but the Downstairs where you feel safe gobbing in someone's food is the size of an entire country. Unlike Westminster, whose soft-touch regulation blew our economy and needed a bail out. Please mang, if we shat the bed financially then England would have to join the queue of people wanting to bail us out at Wonga-sized interest rates. The Chinese just love buying debt. Fuck, the entire system works on debt. World Bank 3rd world politics ftw. Yeah, Irish politics is still stupidly sectarian. Interestingly, I was speaking to an SNP bloke just after the indy referendum who predicted that the general election would end up with Scotland's nationalists holding the balance of power, akin to the way the Irish held it back in the early 1900's. The SNP guy's thoughts were to form a 'Nationalist Collective' between all parties (Labour candidates that could be trusted to vote independent included) that would emulate the Irish model. Was gonna do more, will reply to Enjay later; my tea is burning on the stove and I'm fucked if I'm setting my house on fire again.

Is a bit more complicated than that. Traditionally, Scotland has been more socialist than our revered English neighbors. Which means we get the government we vote for about 20% of the time; for the other 80 years of the century, we get Thatchered to fuck and back with bugger all representation or protection in government. To cope with this, we murder conservatives and have started murdering people who have been seen in the same room / bed as the conservatives. Labour and the Lib Dems joined forces with the Tories last year to combat the Nationalist threat. Which worked, because we're still a part of the UK. Unfortunately for the Labour / Libs, they had to sup from the poison chalice of the Conservatives to achieve victory and they are now, in the traditional Scottish method of Hilarious Vindictiveness, getting their parties wiped out North of the border. This is no joke. Even now we have summoned the bus to throw our last Tory Minister under. Labour are looking at 5-10 seats maximum. The Liberal Democrats will be lucky to get their deposits back, because their treachery has been well and truly noted. The SNP are looking at 40 to 50+ seats in Westminster and it is their *express* intention to fuck the English democracy. Previously, SNP ministers have abstained from voting over exclusively English matters. Which is probably fair; the Irish do the same thing, assuming they even bother to show up. But now Salmond has reversed this stance, on the back of the bullshit that happened 24 hours after the referendum result. The 'Vow to Scottish Voters' was not even discussed in parliament the next day. Instead, Cameron moved to enshrine 'English Votes for English Laws' in legislation and fuck us entirely. On the back of six months of 'oo we love you Scotland, don't leave, we are stronger with you and value your wisdom' came 'lol fuck you stupid cunt get back in the kitchen'. And that is why England is now getting a double decker full of Scottish trollface nationalists. It is glorious .

Drinking either of them straight is fucking vile. Dilute them with coke if you must, but then it becomes a battle between Coke v.s Pepsi for the predominant taste. Bunnahabhain whisky is best whisky.

Looking back on your younger, stupider self.
darknation replied to Blueworrior's topic in Everything Else
Physician, google thyself. Can't decide if that is awesome or tragic. Also need to press for recognition of myself as the most losered / resurrected member of the forum. That shit should count for something. Sidenote, the blogs function on the forum actually gives a fairly amusing time capsule for people who actually use the damn thing. Bit pissed off with myself for throwing a bitch-fit and deleting all the comics I had stored in there. -
Making the PSX TC more accurate

Understandable. Was worth a shot. -
if he's working for Zenimax PR then they probably have him on a high dose of horse tranquilizers to prevent any unfortunate bitch-related advertising whoopsfuckery.

it's like looking back at photos of yourself from the 80's and wondering what fucking sadist cunt cut your hair for the duration of that decade. -
only when compared to the backgrounds / textures. If the textures were made darker then there would be no problem. It is about context.

Making the PSX TC more accurate
darknation replied to Blastfrog's topic in WAD Releases & Development
personal request: is there any way we could get a version that runs in zdoom without the colour filters? playing it without those means every second room is pitch black and my computer sucks too much to go for the gzdoom version. I love psx doom, I love having doom2 enemies in ultimate doom but I can't play the fucking thing without either buying a) a new PSX or B) a new PC. God speed gentlemen. -
telefragged will finally shit the bed. Doomworld will be rehoused on secret servers and oldfags will grow leery within its hidden corridors. Doomplanet will rise from the ashes and draw the stinking masses of n00bs into its wet, clammy ovarium. Brick by brick is the temple of autism built higher as the years tick ever onwards; retards battle and claw at each other for superiority, never thinking that their true Lords watch and wait from afar, growing ever fatter, gnawing upon their crusty gussets whilst suckling brine from teats of utter hated. The dam will break; Oldfags will flood forth in a ravening tide of destruction. The halls of the False Doomplanet will run with red and I will wash my cock in the blood of virgins.

alright, last one. If I was going to do this, I'd start with something like this. By compressing the whole image (105% width 95% height) on the foot DOWN animation you can again add more weight to your animation. Imagine a ball that you throw against the floor: it compresses on impact, and then springs back into shape as it rebounds. Yeah, it's a cheat, but if it's good enough for disney... I also moved the foot back a little and shrunk it to add a sharper movement to the cycle. I was also forced to subsequently reverse the walk frames because it looked weird the other way around for some reason. edit: example of movement on impact [img]

rough guide to the shoulder movements I've described that I knocked up in about three seconds. Note that I fucked up quite a lot. Do as I say, not as I do.

Few tricks that might help. Consider adding something (a chain? Dog tags?) around the beasties neck, something that can swing and add movement to the upper half of your sprite. Swing it against momentum if it's heavy; lag movement one frame behind where instinct tells you it ought to be to put some real weight into something. Note that heavy objects (chaingun) don't need to move as much as light ones. One pixel per frame is perfectly fine. Be subtle. Consider a sharper movement between foot contact/foot lift TO rear. Don't be afraid to skip a 'tween frame in there, it adds more weight to the character's movement. You've also got a kneecap that is floating around in outer space there. Nail it back down again, heh. edit: fixed image so I look less like a retard. Also, note that shoulder movement is on a fulcrum from the neck, so as one shoulder comes up, the other dips down slightly.

I agree. There should be a gradient of death, from mere honourable suicide to third-party anal mutilation.
