  1. Scanning line art

    Thanks! Edited previous post with file type question also...
  2. Scanning line art

    Okay, thanks guys. I'm using Paintshop as that's all I have. If I scan in greyscale at 300, which levels should I play with to get it clear? Ooh, and is it worth doing .pngs rather than .bmps to save space?
  3. Movie/TV recommendations

    Seems no one has commented on Monsters U? It's pretty bad. Uninspired, unfunny.
  4. Let's Draw Video Games

    Maybe because it's spelt "colossus"? Explanation of smiley
  5. Plug your shit

    Looks sweet. Fine time for me to move out of London! I'll never get a go on an Oculus Rift
  6. RPS asks questions about Prey 2, but not the particularly interesting ones: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/08/02/bethesda-talks-prey-2-denies-arkane-involvement/
  7. Ouya - ohhHHHyeaaaah!

    You guys split up the holy trinity of Ohyeah threads
  8. Movie/TV recommendations

    Lots of people in there not understanding the concept at all!
  9. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    Yeah, it's pretty dull, I think we should stop talking about it.
  10. Ouya: Ooooh Yeah!

    It was defiintely a great thread title joke worth making at least twice imo.
  11. And a bonus Dragon's Crown picture including a sexy witch about to get finger-banged by a skeleton!
  12. What's the unit of measurement being used?
  13. Life

    Wagon, surely?
  14. Life

  15. eReaders - What is everyone's thoughts?

    I recently started considering buying an eReader because the original Roger Rabbit novels are only available digitally. I also wanted The Stand but I finally found it in a charity shop after over a year of searching (including public libraries in various cities and boroughs). Still Roger pretty much justifies the £100 or so cost. I'm not getting telly at my new place (excluding LoveFilm streaming and online catchup) so that should cover the cost of it and give me time to actually do some reading outside of my lunch break.
  16. Quitter's Club: Don't be afraid to quit the book

    This thread should be subtitled "don't be afraid to book"
  17. Games giveaway

    Won't get internet until the 1915th But THEN I will play it and spread the word on the condition that it is "good"!
  18. The great Valve re-play

    Yeah, and once you get to be captain, it goes to a 3rd person cutscene in the style of Grim Fandango with Gordon at the helm in a jaunty captain's hat!
  19. Fez 2

    Yeah, Fish was saying he wanted to revisit the world but the mechanics would be massively different. To paraphrase, "like the change from Zelda to Zelda 2 but moreso."
  20. Fez 2

    I also stopped watching ZP years ago, but at that time his byline included the phrase "professional troll".
  21. Games giveaway

    I took the second one, thanks dude! Will play it when I get my new flat in a week or so and spread the word if it's good!
  22. Life

    Because the car door would be anger, the Facebook is judgement?
  23. Movie/TV recommendations

    Yeah, exactly.
  24. Movie/TV recommendations

    Having said that, I now want to watch Children Of Men again.
  25. Movie/TV recommendations

    I haven't watched those clips, but I think a long-take with lots of CG help can still be impressive for its choreography and pacing and being something so authored without destabilising the movie. But yeah, I know what you mean, even the Children Of Men stuff isn't the same as Touch Of Evil or The Player or Boogie Nights, once you know a lot of it wasn't in-camera or was stitched together.
