Check it out, let me know what ya'll think.

B)

Thin mints RULE, specially when you keep them in the Freezer and let them get nice and cold.

I swear they should open a permanent store for those things...

GREAT SCOTT! I"VE DONT IT!

Oven preheated at 350 degrees, and a small pan with half a burger and fries. Set timer for 7 minutes. The burger was good and THE FRIES WERE PERFECT!

PERFECT REHEATABLE FRIES!

::runs off cackling madly::

Bitch you betta BELEIVE I whooped ALL 3 of those games.

MULTIPLE TIMES.

I lived on those for months.

Well... I've finally done it.

I've started my own CGI Graphics company.

The site will be updated frequently so check back often for updates. I figure it'll be a year or so before its really ready for public debut, but as of right now I'm offering my services to board members only free of charge. : )

Full services are on the site, I've already made some Custom PIP's (post meter icons) for a few senate members and I've got some ideas for the board itself but i'd love some custome requests as I really need to hone some skills and flat out learn many more.

For now I'm using Paint and Frontpage Express heavily and I've got some access to Corel and Adobe Photoshop but i'm still a bit rusty with them. Pips, Avatars and Smilies are doable for me but I'm unproven at animated versions of the same for the moment until I get practice with them.

Also on a side note I'd like to thank IC. Without a friendly kick in the rear with the "what would you do if everything failed" thread i probably never would have gotten up my arse and gotten this thing going.

So let me know what you all think and let me know if theres anything right off the bat that you'd like made. If theres any existing graphics you want altered or have images based on Email them to the Company Email address I set up.

The strike series kicked ultimate ass!

- Desert strike

- Jungle strike

- Urban strike

Sonic was an all time classic. Golden axe was a fantastic conversion. Altered Beast was another classic. God i could go on here forever.

So an agent calls in asking how we would handle a $32,000 "Cat related" claim since it was so unusual and he couldnt imagine what the cat did.

...I told him it was CATASTROPHY related and it was ok to write.

I swear, some people should be fixed...

Who... the... Heeeeeeell Can manage a 20% Down payment on a house? And what kind of agents can quote a monthly payment assuming that much down with a straight face?

I think its against the nature of the universe to ever let ANYTHING happen that will help you either directly or indirectly in any way shape or form.

:angry:

Good suggestions chief, I'll give a look into them.

And yeah if anyone has a burn of some good software, or knows of a generous trial or shareware versio I'd appreciate it. The main things i'm looking for right now is a good all around graphics program for static and animated images and a good web publishing program. I've got an older version of Frontpage but its always been pissy with me.

I plan on purchasing full versions eventually but to learn on i'll take just about anything that'll run on my machine.

So I'm looking to invest in some software finally.

- Graphic design & editing to make backgrounds, logos, and random good quality images.

- GIF animation for animated smilies, web banners, and misc animated images

- 3D rendering for any worthy images i creat to be taken to the next level.

- Web design need a REAL program to completely deck out my next page.

- Game editing/creation programs for the ever evolving DD game series.

- more i haven't thought of yet. Chime in if you have ideas.

I'm hoping to get some input from anyone on the board that does any of the above with regularity on what programs they find best. Hoping to find a good all around program but if theres one that has a major specialty let me know as well.

So far I've heard good things about Bryce, Photoshop and Frontpage 2002 but I've only had limited experiance with frontpage and haven't really tried the others much at all. For the Time being I'll be grabbing free trials of anything that gets offered and :cough:borrowed:cough: software to get the hang of the ones I like until I can purchase my own copy.

So, What can you folks reccommend?

::You hear a chain link fence being torn Down and clattering against the floor. Then a low snarling... Then the snarling changes pitch and slowly becomes laughter....::

B)

:whispering::

...do you hear it?

...its hiding in the shadows.

::screaming::

...ITS COMING FOR US ALL!!!

::A Logo flashes for a brief second and you catch a glimpse of a D...P...and...C along with a flash of teeth::

Kick ass job IC, I'd say leave it here until it proives itself worthy of its own area, for now if its in the music forum it'll get a bit more exposure. Can't help but think some people avoided it because it was in the trolls playground fightclub before.

Hmm... Interesting Idea there chiefy.

:approve:

"Giddyup!"

Damn my Kramer shrine would go great in this thread. Lousy FTP...

Half hanging out of his car while repainting his "luxury lanes" out by the airport, remodeling his aparetment to be nothing but wood paneling, a classic room entrance. The boy is just GREAT!

A Valid point. There is the "Free will" aspect in which basically we do this to ourselves because God allows us to run our own lives without old testament type interferance. But I'll admit Free will or not certain things cross the line and I find it amazing any kind of god would allow it all without breaking down and interfering. Specially one who was prone to do so in the past. Old habits Die hard.

True, But is voodoo centered on a diety? or is it related to spiritual energies?

Another thing i thought of. Holy water. Some claim it to bring healing, some insist it can repel ghosts, demons and banish things it is applied to. If Blessed holy water were to be proven to have differences from normal water based soley on the blessind done over it and no additives, would that not also show some proof of a higher being?

Good points, Any Idea if other religions have similar practices for using their deities powers to directly affect someone/something?

Yes...Aside from prayer.

I'm just wanting to know that IF It were Proven that Demonic possesion was a reality and that Exorcism was the proven tool to drive the spirit out, Would that not give Proof that God exists?

If he didn't then why wouldn't he spirit flee simply because your talking gibberish at it?

Its not a Definitive "Yes, God is real" but it would provide a valid point of argument would it not?

I think this is that new Cop movie Junker was talking about earlier, haven't seen it but it didn't seem too bad in the previews.

Well I'm not saying it Proves every aspect of the religion. But if one religion actually showed a "God backed" Power such as that wouldn't that be pretty hefty proof of the existance of the catholic representation of God?

I mean, how would the wolrds other religions refute it? or what could they show to parrallel it?

Why is it that people have such a hard time understanding that when they submit an insurance policy online, and they pay their agent the same day. A bill WILL print and be mailed immediately. We won't know about the money for 3-4 days. WHY is getting a bill so confusing to you? Furthermore, Why are you even more confused after I explain it?
