KFC all the way. Mainly because I work there, but also because it's delicious and suprisingly clean.

Clean?? It's even dirty to just eat. My sister works at KFC and she comes home with grease filling up the grooves on the bottom of her shoes.

Also where abouts is the KFC you work, maybe you work with my sister?

Sorry Luis, but now that I think about it I should be able to judge people on their conscious decisions. I'm not a racist and I don't dislike someone about something they can't control like if they're gay or have red hair. But if someone decides to do something, I am entitled to judge them on their actions.

Not all fat people choose to be fat, I gained a lot of weight when I was on the drug Risperdal, I don't know what it was in the medicine that I had that reaction, maybe it really slowed down my metabolism or made me retain water or something, but after one month of not taking it, with no other changes in my daily routine, I dropped 30 lbs.

This post makes little to no sense whatsoever.

Fatties

Yeah, everyone's fat. Its because the corporations band together and run everything. First the entertainment and food industries advertise movies, TV, and fast food in which how all the people become fat in the first place. Thats how they make there money. Then the health industries make people realize they are fat and unhealthy and try to get them to buy expensive exercise equipment and go on weight loss programs, and they make there money that way. But of course, the people try these weight loss things and find that they don't have the will power or energy to do those things, and go back to their trend of sitting on the couch eating MickyDs and watching CSI. Smoking and drinking industries also fit into this.
Once the corporations have made all their money from these things, they bribe the polititions who support the corporations and keep out all the people who would go against this trend from getting into political positions.

And thats how democracy works, any questions?

Karma's going to turn me into a fat person.

I always make fat people jokes, and poke fun at 400 pound pedestrians behind their back, or refer to a family of fat people in a car as "pork chops".

Yet I eat a ton and don't exercise much, and spend a lot of time on the computer or playing video games. Somehow I'm still 150lbs (Which is pretty underweight for someone 6'4'' tall).

Once my metabolism shuts down I'll probably balloon out. If I started getting fat though, I hope I'd be conscious enough to start changing my diet and exercising.

Speaking of diets, what are your diets usually like?

I absolutely hate fast food, except subway and occasionally taco bell or kfc, and 90% of what I eat is health food, because my dad being a chiropractor it's what I was raised up on. I also have a vegetarian aunt, uncle, and cousin so whenever they visit us or we visit them, I end up eating more wierd vegetables in one meal than most people get in a year.

Vegetarian food is pretty good when prepared right, because vegetarians usually go out of their way to buy literally every abstract vegetable out their for meals, plus all of the traditional ones. There's so many different vegetable dishes out there they don't really get old too quickly, yet after a while you do begin to crave meat, or at least more vegetables. Vegetables don't really fill you up too quickly, and my cousin and his parents eat so little.
Also, a sandwich just doesn't feel right without meat. I saw my cousin eat a sandwich of just bread, lettuce, and tomato once. I don't know how anyone could find that to be a whole meal.

A lot of people actually don't have the choice to be fat. Some of them are just naturally overweight. They can choose sometimes, but at others, they just eat a tiny bit and can gain lots of weight. It's like almost nothing they do can make them skinnier. I feel badly sometimes for fat people, but I feel as if I shouldn't.

They choose to watch 6 consecutive hours of CSI instead of going for a nice walk in the park.

Fucking CSI

I'm sick of stupid sedentary fat lard ass America. Mostly I just want to help. No one wants to sweat climbing the stairs, no one wants that. I don't think anyone wants heart disease, or 4 chins.

It's CAN be a matter of luck. Look at me (imagination)! I'm the most unhealthy fuck ever. I had something like 10 cookies today, an Entamens doughnut (spelling of Ent...), lots of dumplings, more Chinese food for dinner...and some more cookies. Yet somehow I'm only like 135 pounds and less then 10% body fat! I got really lucky!

GOD DAMMIT KEVIN, YOU OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR RIGHT NOW OR MR.FLUFFIKINS GETS IT >:V

NOW SERIOUSLY, I FUCKING HAD A QUESTION ABOUT FLASH. NOT DEPRESSION, NOT FOOD, NOT HOW TO SHOT WEB. FLASH.

So, does anyone FUCKING know how to sync sounds in CS3? It's not the way it used to be.

You're welcome to judge... all im saying is that while you are busy obsessing about judging people, others are out using that energy on other matters such as making friends.

Feedback?

Because im so sick of using this thread to bicker about all sort of controllable and noncontrollable human shortcomings i thought id change the mood a bit.

I was working on the backdrop of some game art... im currently working on the back layer of the artwork.. i was thinking of making some sort of organic brick type of environment... do you think that backdrop is too busy in relation with the terrain art? is bg art distracting to you?

The lines and stuff on the tree should be less obvious. I feel like I can jump on the tree. ;)

At 11/24/07 11:04 PM, Luis wrote: Feedback?

I think it just needs to be a little bit blurred. Not overly busy, but if you keep adding too it it almost definately will be.

poo ok im going back to the drawing board... the issue im having with it is that the tree bg is not the backmost bg so like itll paralax scroll or whatever... so i dont want it to be too unrefined because i want to save that for the back background (the one with the sky currently)

As Vengeance said, a bit of blur could help, it isn't bad near the trunk it's just out where the branch gets thin is where I feel it collides with foreground.

Yeah, same here. I'm an unhealthy bastard by anyone's standards. I've not had a breakfast in something like five years that wasn't fried, and generally have loads of annoyingly unhealthy snacks throughout the day. The only exercise I ever really get is in walking places as much as possible, playing badminton (badly) every few weeks and occasionally getting wasted and dancing like an idiot, and the last two really only over the last year or so. Even so, if anything I look dangerously undernourished. Some people just aren't cut out for being fat.

Snack Stuff
Yeah, our office has a table full of food and a fridge full of pop. It's amazing how my appetite has grown on the weekends, since I am usually munching on trail mix or drinking a Dr. Pepper or something.

I also finally started to feel the effects of the 2-3 pm crash.

Domain Name?

So, after countless of attempts on making a website that will work like some kind of portfolio of mine, I have finally been able to make something that just might be finished :P It's nothing fancy, nor is it very advanced, but at least it have some basic stuff like news, comments, and suff like that. Now I'm looking to buy a domain and hosting so that I can start testing how it will work on the real server, and I actually have everything figured except one thing: what domain should I get? Dreamworx.com, -.net, -.org are all taken :(

I have a few ideas, none of them seems really good, but I guess I don't really have a choice. Please tell me which one you think I should get (if you have any other suggestions than the ones listed below it's of course welcome as well):

Dreamworx.se
-I am from Sweden, but most of my visitors probably wont be, that's why I don't really like this one
Dreamworxflash.com
-Probably my favorite as of now, still don't find it to be perfect though
Dreamworxstudios.com
-It's an alternative, but I think that '<insert random word here> studios' is being way overused, and I can't call myself a studio really :P

Domain Name
I would go with Dreamworxflash.com. Personally I hate it when people call themselves a studio/productions etc... you're just some kid sitting at home making Flash (for the most part) xP

Well, I'm sure there's a .eu now for Europe.

Yeah, and all those kids who've just started Flash that call themselves a studio just annoys the hell out of me.

There is, and I've thought of using it, but it just doesn't feel right for the kind of site that I'm making. Also, it seems to be very unknown, so if anybody would like to get to my site but forgot the domain .eu is probably among the last ones they would guess on :P

Pet Peeves

I have really weird ones. Like in exams, questions phrased incorrectly, like "Name 4 types of memory?" (it has a ? when its an instruction, not a question). Or when people say 'owned' or 'noob' in real life, it just makes me squeem.

Luis, so you never cut your nails? Dont they just get really long and annoying?

CS3 Suite

Got the whole CS3 suite a few days ago (my dads school got it, and lent it to us), and it's pretty impressive. Weird thing is, they have several different programs that do effectivly the same thing, but with small differences (3 different image editing programs, 2 different web design). I still dont get why they dont make a word processor, word bugs the crap out of me.

I also downloaded the AIR patch, and I'm loving it. At the moment, I'm trying to make a AIR application that displays the NG RSS feeds (proving very difficult).

For those that don't know what AIR is, it is a new program platform that creates .exes out of .swfs, .htmls, .xmls and JS. Its incredibly great and easy to use, and you have so much more power than in regular flash.

I would stray away from dreamworx to be honest, considering that dreamworks is a huge animation company, it doesn't feel original enough. However, I can't really suggest an alternative. What's your last name? It's always a safe bet to turn that into a domain name, maybe add something to the end to create alliteration or rhyme.
