  1. Movie/TV recommendations

    I love Frank Oz's LSOH, and just missed out on seeing the director's cut at the cinema recently, which I was gutted by.How does the 'new' ending work? Does all the footage integrate well? Pixar-wise, I love Toy Story 1 and The Incredibles, and like Monsters Inc and WALL-E. The rest are all well-made and have their moments but aren't great imo. Animated (American) movies I love that perhaps not everyone has seen are Emperor's New Groove (as mentioned already), The Iron Giant, A Goofy Movie, Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs and Ice Age. Seems I like screwball with a heart. Also the first two Wallace And Gromit shorts plus the movie are great fun.
  2. Scanning line art

    I'm not doing too well using the levels to get it down to black and white from greyscale, so I might continue with scanning in b&w then just tidy up manually. Any recommendations for best way to compress the massive ones I've already done without losing line quality? Thanks everyone...
  3. Scanning line art

    Thanks! Edited previous post with file type question also...
  4. 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?
  5. Movie/TV recommendations

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

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

    Looks sweet. Fine time for me to move out of London! I'll never get a go on an Oculus Rift
  8. 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/
  9. Ouya - ohhHHHyeaaaah!

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

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

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

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

  17. 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.
  18. Quitter's Club: Don't be afraid to quit the book

    This thread should be subtitled "don't be afraid to book"
  19. 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"!
  20. 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!
  21. 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."
  22. Fez 2

    I also stopped watching ZP years ago, but at that time his byline included the phrase "professional troll".
  23. 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!
  24. Life

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

    Yeah, exactly.
