I usually put half the movie on paper, then get annoyed with it and sketch the rest in flash.

There's no way around it. You can use the , and . keys to move between your frames faster.

Interplay basically dug out a corpse.. it's like the article says, nobody from old Black Isle is probably even in there. Interplay just decided to use the name again in an effort not-to-die for another day.

Calling for an end to the endless discussions about Skyrim by elaborating on Skyrims flaws (thereby provoking discussion) kinda defeats the purpose of your thread.

Don't look for advice on the internet, just try to discover new things yourself at your own pace - especially if it has to do with sex.

I've only played Morrowind and Skyrim and even though it's been ages since I last touched Morrowind I still prefer it over Skyrim.

Skyrim is just "Nothing happens: The game" for several reasons:
(I'm leaving out all the overused complains like the same 3 dungeons over and over etc.)

- You develop your character and get stronger, yet nothing changes since enemies level with you. The only thing that ever improves is the look of your cool new shiny armor and weapons.

- Dozens of boring +X% Y and similar perks that you forget about after you selected them. Take a look at Fallout: New Vegas: Notice how many of the perks change some aspect of your gameplay? Obsidian threw Bethesda's useless +X Skill perks outta there for a reason.

- This is Skyrim's plot (and I'm trying to make it sound as non-dumb as possible): An evil god-dragon is threatening the world.. while doing - nothing. Sometimes dragons show up.. sometimes not.. this certainly is AH I CAN'T DO THIS! Nothing happens! Not even the side / civil war quests change anything! You just make more imperials/rebels stand around in towns.

- NPCs don't touch me. (in other words nothing touches me as a human being) There are only a few interesting NPCs in the entire game but they aren't even important to the storyline.

-----

Bottom line, the whole game might as well just be a generic "test worldmap" for Beth's new engine that isn't new. It saddens me that so much creativity (for example all the books) went to waste in this game. The worst thing is that it is still popular so Bethesda might be tricked into thinking that people actually WANT games that just pretend to do something while nothing ever happens. They didn't even try.

I'd pay more attention to how arms and legs bend while walking (observe real people walking) and adding feet always helps.

Long story short, I need talented voice actors for my thesis movie Out of Order!
I can pay via paypal although I have no idea of what prices would be appropriate, especially since some characters just have a few lines. This is my first time looking for voice actors so please give me feedback on what additional information I could provide etc. !

I need voices for the following characters (full-resolution char ref here) :

#1
Senry - A smart young girl who finds herself in an unknown environment. Because of this her voice is insecure (but not naive) because of how unfamiliar she is with her surroundings. Sounds.. well, like a teenage girl.
This character doesn't have much dialogue but still more than 5 lines.
Audition lines:
(scared) "Uuh.. what are you, a blue gorilla?"
(insecure) "I.. don't think it can fly anymore.. "

#2
Bro - A sort of large gorilla-shaped man with a deep calm voice who sounds exhausted from life most of the time but will get very enthusiastic towards the end as new perspectives open up to him.
This character has the most dialogue since he also narrates the beginning of the movie.
Audition lines:
(calm, unmotivated) "I have failed to escape this city a million times.. and now there's only one road left to try."
(fast, enthusiastic) "Are you from the shuttle?! Can it fly?!"

#3
Madhat 1 - A tall man with a comically high pitched voice who gets angry really fast, much like a small angry chihuahua.
This character has roughly 2-4 lines of dialogue.
Audition lines:
(angry) "I foun' it first! Givit back!"

#4
Madhat 2 - "Meh.. " That pretty much sums up this character. His voice is that of a middle-aged bored man who just doesn't care.
This character only has one word (see below).
Audition lines:
(bored, unmotivated) " ..nah... "

#5
Madhat 3 - A very materialistic man with a rough deep voice who also has an anger problem. Unfortunately he has a modified Tommy Gun to vent this anger.
This character has 3-6 lines of dialogue and some angry yelling.
Audition lines:
(threatening) "Now hold still while we loot your.. ..aeronautical propulsion device!"

Please send me your voice demos or audition lines (and maybe what you think I should pay you) via PM if you are interested. I'm looking forward to your responses!

Well the gameplay in Bioshock 1 still was nothing to complain about (although many people probably thought how cool it would be to wield a weapon and plasmid at the same time). Sure it improved much to the joy of everyone, but I guess people had similar expectations for the plot of Bioshock 2 and were slightly dissapointed.

PS A Big Sister just kicked my ass. Awesome enemy type. Dat buildup to the fight, with the shrieks and shit. And you need those precious seconds to prepare.

PANIC TRAP BOLTS/RIVETS/MINI TURRETS ALL OVER THE PLACE

Combat-wise yes, but the plot was pretty straight forward compared to Bioshock 1. The only important plot points were beginning and end.

WIth that being said I still enjoyed the story.

Just smile and wave your hand.

Everything I don't like is overrated.

Please refer to this thread for problems with installing Linux.

As a kid me and my friends where addicted to TMNT IV: Turtles in Time. I could pick that up and play it any day.

Sadly this doesn't work every time and I can never figure out why. PNG Sequences on the other hand can always be imported.

Restore the symmetry.

We already talk to them in different ways. It's simply not possible to have a "human" conversation with an animal.

I used to arrange them in non-humanoid shapes so I don't feel watched when the lights are out.

Is it wrong that I get really frustrated that when someone mentions the Panzer Dragoon series, they never speak about Saga? I know the game is hard to find, but there might be a few ROMS.

I'm aware of the games before Orta, but I doubted he was looking for Sega Saturn games.

I still have a huge Space Marine army from Warhammer 40k somewhere.. (crappily painted when I was 14)

You might want to take a look at Panzer Dragoon Orta. It's a little bit older but it may be for you.

Also one of the few dragon-themed games with dragon designs that actually are original.

I feel sorry for the poor people that had to hone their animation skills for years only to end up working on this show.

I agree. This isn't even presentable to a potential new employee.

If your image is a graphic or movie clip you can select "alpha" in the settings. Create a tween and let it go from 100% to 0% alpha.
