I actually enjoyed the last Rambo movie. Stalone said maybe 4 sentences in the whole movie, the rest was just absurd carnage. It's a mindless action film, and it met all it's expectations.

Yeah it was a steaming pile of garbage, but it's freaking Rambo.

Letter look better, ditch the border.

Have you tried making it cuttable yet?

Three hours? God damn, well maybe if i find it cheap and used somewhere i'll buy it for the online.

That's including yours right? Everyone should put lots of effort into their works :D

I'm digging the car piece, you're getting a lot better with your compositions and atmosphere.

I didn't even notice the scythe in the picture before, I saw the skull but that was it. Maybe you should try and make it stand out more.

I really liked Clayfighter 63 1/3 and I remember really enjoying Mystical Ninja starring Goemon

I would kill to have my SNES back, so many good games.

The only educated guess I can make is Braid.

I agree, after reading the article I can't really think of too many "niche" games for the 360, and that was pretty popular. I also remember the makers of Braid saying a while back that a ps3 version might be released in the future.

If it is Braid though I'll be kind of bummed out, since I couldn't play it on ps3 I just downloaded it for my Mac and beat it on there.

My feelings about sigs are pretty much the same as Toas'. If all of the image is original work that you've drawn yourself, than you can put it in the portal. If you've borrowed an image from somewhere but have drawn in your own effects and have made it artistic, than just keep it on your userpage. If it's just a simple copy and past job with no real effort on your own, than don't submit it at all or it will be deleted.

Rubbish has been taken care of, he was scouted by OctopusPriem, who is the only "bad artist" that I personally will allow in the portal, for some reason I kind of like his work XD

I actually didn't buy MGS4 because I didn't really like the third one, so I didn't want to risk buying a game I wouldn't like. So I just borrowed it from a friend and crushed it in a few days, however I never did play the online because it required like a half hour long download in order to play and i'm an impatient bitch.

Well you best make time! When are you going to jump into the spanking new Art Portal and join in on the fun?

I probably would still never use PSHome

Earthworm Jim versus Bob the Killer Goldfish

one of my favorite games ever

lol yeah it does start to hurt after extended periods of time, but I had that same problem with all the bluetooth headsets i tried.

Yeah I had this happen to me a while back, try resetting the controller (there's a little hole in the back with a button in it, grab a paperclip and press it) sometimes that will fix the problem.

If that doesn't work than you might just have to get a new one.

At 7/22/09 02:56 PM, scetch00 wrote: Yeah Ben, you have way too many shooter games =)

Those are the ones that are worth playing online though. I have other games, those are just the ones that are online capable. I pretty much buy anything that looks like it's worth playing.

As far as Burnout goes i'm not really into racing games, but i've played the demo for Fuel and I think I might buy that because it's pretty awesome.

The Letters bother me because they're so sharp and hard when everything else is so smooth and flowing. Shadows are pretty easy to make up and look believable, and like Maria said you'll probably have to make it two layers to pull off this specific design.

The first layer just has to be the hair and the edges of the head. Get rid of that so all you're looking at is the face, and from there try and connect it all so it looks believable and is possible to cut-out.

As Far as headsets go, Sony did release a proper headset for the ps3, i own one and it works a hell of a lot better than any 3rd party headset I tried.

And people keep mentioning the party system, I hadn't heard of this before but I don't really see the appeal to talking to other people who aren't playing the same game as me. When i'm playing online I like to be focused on the round i'm playing, not listening to one of my friends joke/grip about some other game their playing.

I've also never had any problems with connecting to a party while playing online, it's always worked pretty well for me *shrug*

One thing that does bother me is how LAN is set up, it only allows one person per console in LAN. Granted I know next to nothing about how all this works, but does 360 let multiple people share a console while playing in a LAN party?

Awhile back I painted the faceplate for my GH controller for wii, I keep meaning to not be lazy and paint my controller for my ps3.

damn old painting

Hmmm, well the online games I have are Call of Duty 4, Killzone 2, Call of Juarez 2, Battlefield: Bad Company, Red Faction: Guerrilla, Mercenaries 2, Resistance, Rainbow six: Vegas 2, LittleBigPlanet, Resident Evil 5, Punisher: No Mercy, and Battlefiel: 1943

And Mirrors Edge technically has online play.

To Mansellscore,

As far as your opinion about some of the art that's in the portal, for the most part i'm on your side. There is some art that's in the portal that I personally might not think needs to be in there, however none of the submissions you pointed out were particularly terrible or broke any rule (Well with the exception of OctopusPriem, but for some reason I do kind of like his work XD). So there's no reason for them not to be in the portal, I didn't check to see if you were a scouted user or not, but have you looked at the unscouted section of the Art Portal? There are WAY worse art submissions that could be in the portal, the stuff you have pointed out really aren't that bad in comparison to the stuff that doesn't get in.

There are some amazing artists in the portal, but don't let them outshine the kids who are also talented in their own respect.

Love, Captain-Ben

I always here kids say this but i've never had any problems with my internet connection. And I have played Live also, and I couldn't really tell any difference. As far as performance goes, both are on even playing fields. Xbox Live just has much more frills than PSN does, so if you're the type of person that would use all of that than Live might be a better choice.

My only problem with Live is the monthly fee, and this is generally my feelings towards anything with a monthly fee, it might not really be that much a month (Live is only like 5 dollars a month right?) but over time you could end up paying more for the online service than you did for the system itself. Which if you ask me is shenanigans.

A whole table? Well it's been awhile but i'll go grab the KY.

I'm pretty envious of the partnership microsoft has with netflix, however I'm not quite sure if i'd really use all of that stuff. Like PSN has PSHome and that new textchat feature, but I don't really use any of that. I pretty use PSN to just play online, which doesn't have any problems. On top of it being free, I dunno coming from someone who just uses it to play online i'm perfectly happy.

Don't PM an admin about it, but feel free to shoot me or any of the other art mods a PM about any problems or questions you have, it's what we're here for.

What's the difference between having achievements and having trophies? Aren't they the exact same thing?

Voodoo Vince's soundtrack was really awesome, it's original jazz soundtrack worked so well with the game.

I dunno, I don't think either is better than the other. Both let you play with other kids on the internet, and both of them work.
