You mean the Jason Roher who just got hired by an advertising firm to sell products the same way he sold his "artsy" persona to the world? Check.

Walking cycles have to be the worst thing that a flash artist has to make.
Ever.

Emma Watson (Hermione) is gonna be in the grade behind my brother at school. Trying to get him to go and do something ridiculous to become friends with her, and bring her back to our house for me, but...

Nah, you just need to put some TV or something on to zone your brain out while you're doing the bits between key frames (not to mention colouring and shading). As long as you have a distraction from the repetativeness it's fine :p

That week I did 6000 lines of code for closure (I have not been able to match that output or even get close since then) the TV was on in the background the whole time.

For some reason it helps me concentrate more.

Those explosions look awesome. And the characters definitely have a style to them, but could use some work.

I never liked kongregate. The community is terrible

On the programming forum, I'll agree, it's desolate and the few people there are almost all noobish. However, the art forum's really nice, and doesn't have the "All art sucks balls except mine" trolls lurking it.

Voice actor needed

I'm looking for someone to provide a voice for the last boss of a game. I either want someone deep and ominous or, failing that, nerdy and American for anticlimactic value. And I'm aware of the existance of a voice actors forum, but that wouldn't give a game its reggy goodness.

What's everyone's obsession with Emma Watson? It's not like she's the only person in the world of above-average attractivemness, and there's every chance she wasn't even the only you've grown up alongside :/

Well, if there are others just as attractive as she, why choose them instead of Emma Watson?

Plus, she's single ;)

But... So am I. Why not go out with me?

I'm not really single, but I wouldn't say no ;-)

Ok I want to plug in my 32-Inch HDTV to my computer. What I'm wondering is if I do, will the screen resolution match the TV and stretch to fit or stay the same and just see a small wide screen on the TV?

Depends on the TV I would think, but you can probably set it to display whichever way you want it to.

TV

Your TV should have a DVI cable input, so get one of those and hook it up. Then set the res to about 1/2 of what the screens is and ramp it up to see how it goes.

Muxdos

A user on another forum has come up with this ingenious idea to share music. Basically, you can create a 12 song "mix tape" from any of your mp3s. Or you can go around and listen to others, and because all the songs are uploaded there is a much wider variety of stuff than on spotify or itunes or anywhere else.

Anyway, give it a look, i love it.

Nothing important anyways, just exprimenting.

Are you using a second graphic card (i.e. not the same port as your monitor goes to)? If so you probably need to go into the graphic card's control panel and activate it.

If there's a input for it, it will work. Either you've not added it on your pc or your not using the right source on your TV, mess around with the options and see what you can do.

TAKE A LOOK AT THAT MUSIC SITE, i've found loads of great new songs via it.

I believe 1 person is coding, 1 person designing and 1 hosting. There are ads at the bottom, but i agree, i don't know where the funds are coming from.
