Im not sure what movie you guys went to go see but i saw king kong and it was damn awesome Not for nothing but ive seen the original many times from when i was a wee lad until now...sorry nostalgia and respect are what make the original hold up so well , cmon the story and acting in the original was downright cheesy Yea of course the dinosaur stampede defied logic....and because of that it was awesome. Why? Well probably because this is a story filled with dinosaurs and giant apes. I love when people look for realistic nuances in a movie that is designed to be a spectacle. Lots have said the boat scene dragged...not sure why i felt it built tension, especially since we already know what was going to happen for the last 80 years. It made the whole thing alot more ominous. I thought it was 3 hours perfect , wouldnt want it any shorter. A+

One of the funniest episodes...the seamonkeys "for some reason he told me i had to close my eyes and suck it out of a hose"

Some new sketches Oh and it appears VP2 wont be the only game... "A remake of the original title with extra scenes tying it to its sequel, extra movies, and recreated in 16:9 widescreen. "

Here we go Afterburner Climax

i also love this game...this to me equates to ART ....theres very little to do in teh game besides kill the collosi however the experience and feel of teh world is in itself something some people enjoy doing , theres plenty of little hidden areas and temples that exist solely for the reason of finding and exploring, its not something i would want to just play all the time but its something i have already felt like going back and experiencing just for teh feel and atmosphere of it soc was originally going to be a follow up to ico but it was decided instead to be a completely new story that was related to ico only in feel and atmosphere i have gone back and fought the same collosus multiple times just for the sheer thrill, these things are huge and the way they move , are animated and look they are freightening and amazing and alive and its enjoyable to see and climb and take them down even after youve done it The soundtrack is awesome especially the opening theme

ok ive been playing the new combat revamp on teh test servers for the last few days... first the bad : The "twitch" needs to be worked on alot, its hard to aim because when you are strafing its so jerky due to teh way your characters walks when going left or right all they need to do is add true fps strafing and maybe a gun barrel view seperating crafting and combat classes was just a very dumb move, people do not want to be forced into one style of gameplay, if soe gets wise they will dump the trader class and instead let all of the 8 other classes choose a secondary crafting skill out of the 9 crafting choices Only 9 classes? Another bad move, right now there is very little difference save weapons and small ability difference between the classes, get wise and at least up it to 12-14 classes. You should have multiple paths you can climb within a class to differentiate between one and the other....if you are a bounty hunter at end game there should be bounty hunters who are better at hand to hand combat while others may have aimed towards more stealth. Jedi 24/7.....teh annoying unlocked jedi were bad enough but now that you can be jedi from scratch get ready for roleplaying to be destroyed completely as 6 thousand jedi sword fight in front of you you still cant reall jump The good news: The new demo and tutorial area is GREAT , that first ten minutes of play have felt more like star wars then the last two years of the game Movement is faster and the general game seems to flow faster , quest come easier and your movement and run speed are faster The "twicth" is also faster but one problem i see with it is since you can only fire when your target lays over the mob meaning you can never really miss, this needs to be changed , you should be able to fire your weapon whenever your target is in crosshair form ( 90% of the time ) the only exception being when it becomes chat bubble or interact target. The shots should have zero effect on teh surroundigs if they miss but the act is you should be able to miss...period. Add in a true fps jump and that in itself would up the game to me another 10% so in general if they ... add a few more classes and a few seperate paths in each class give us a jedi free server for roleplayers remove trader class and let any combat class choose one of the 9 tradeskill jobs give us a TRUE fps interface , gun barrel view, a jump, better strafing movement, and being able to shoot outside the targeted area those alone would make this game amazing

oh dear lord this is everything i have wanted since teh development of swg began...i might actually go back to playingmy character that has been sitting in his home for months

I found this.. Beam up me

did a search for revolution guess it wa in a non revolution post

ok lets see if this works..

Controller revealed.....interesting Rev Controller reactions from game designers

God i couldnt agree with this thread more....teh worst part is i get so much flack for this... even from this message board when i posted a simialar thread two years ago. To me ...old anime was just ...more passionate ..more romantic , more adventurous, and more story driven, it had its flash and its unique style that made it anime but the characters were more realistic even when they were totally unrealistic, you cared about them or hated them , they werent drawn like triangles..current anime titles seem so angular and jarring where the older stuff was much more individualistic and softer in general. I honestly cant tell one artists work from teh other in current titles Its funny but if you grew up trying to track down anime in teh 80s you can remember EXACTLY what set it apart Theres so much more i can say but i think ill hold off a bit

Bond ...James Bond

Hi vanguard recently held an art contest to have a piece of artwork somehow incorporated into the game...

yknow i never even recieved a confirmatiom email but i orders this stuff on around sept 15-16th

i like these

Sorry for the awful quality its a real bad webcam , i need to get batteries for my digital cam Anyway this is a Leopard 2A6 i need a new airbrush so im painting this one by hand

how much did you guys spend? i put down about 50 or so i think , got mospeada and s cross box sets and all teh megazone dvds. Still havnt heard one thing from them though i should go check the mail.

Huh? Wow definately wasnt being defensive i was just restating what i know and what im looking for so as to avoid confusion , i was trying to clear that its obvious to anyone its a filled that it helps to know someone but come on..thats every single job that isnt monkey work just clearing up that right now getting a foot in the door isnt as important to me as is finding a place which others might feel is the best place to help advance skills and develop portfolios no bother anyhow ive made my decision for now its going to be smc so i can get rid of the basic classes...i have some credits from el camino , 3.6-8 from hs and 4 in my Advanced Placement art class from way back when which will help cut a few classes i dont need. After that i will try and transfer to what a feel is the best choice. Cal state long beach hasa great art department and a few on these forums have stated it was a great way to move ahead. Sure id love art center or otis but unless i get some mega super miraculous grant or become rich they are out of my reach ...for now. Its clear and honest to myself that i know i will only most likely only achieve my goals if i diy my ideas. I know its not a popular or very easy way to do things these days but the other option is more luck then skill. Im not interested in being rich im just interested in being happy.

Wow thanks for the hopelessness i really need that. Im not looking to "break into" the industry nor am i looking for hook-ups i mean if your seriously trying to tell me that knowing people in the industry helps ( as is common knowledge ; dont.....im looking for a school to help me develop my skills further guess what im 26 now, i will develop my portfolio along the way as i develop my skills, i never said i draw other peoples characters either matter of fact im always trying to develop my own style, i hate copying so yea im 26 and in 3-4 years ill be 30 but guess what thats what i am and thats what i have to go by so nothing else is going to change that if you know a way to turn back time please share I would LOVE to go to OTIS its my godamn dream school, i was given a personal tour through the school, i get sent ( even today ) stuff from them everyday but unless you have 30k a year that i can have guess what ..im Never going to otis and yes before you ask i did the whole fafsa grant ordeal i got nothing from them. solscud you hit it right on the head

oh sorry jem when i wrote that second part your reply wasnt there yet , i started writing it , went to mitsuwa , ate , went to the bookstore, picked up a hobby japan, shopped through the supermarket , came home and then hit the "add reply" button ill check it now thanks In reply about financial aid i am a whitey so nadda there , i had already did the whole financial aid thing and was unable to get any grants but was only able to get strafford loan and another loan ( with a cosigner), either way i decided FOR NOW smc is best for me and then after awhile i can see where i can go from there but at least its a start and i wont be broke According to fafsa if you live alone with no support such as i do the only way to get a grant is to make under 9k a year .....so said the guidance couselor Thanks for all your help i really appreciate it A1 who needs the marine corp theres plenty of targets here in LA

cal state long beach classes are closed for spring already a shame since it takes me literally 15 mins by bus to get there. I have decided to go with santa monica college art division. http://academy.smc.edu/ i just need guidance on classes which hopefully a couselor can provide, and yea i wish i could do free internships but realistically i support myelf dont and couldnt reciece any financial help from any parents and living in any school type of housing is definately not on an option so thus i must work at present a full job which sucks the life out of me. If i could i would work , go to school , and intern but i fear theres just not enough hours in the day for that. As it stands i only sleep about 3 hours of sleep a night. Ok so let me explain my goals, you can call them silly if you want or you can laugh me out of the forums i wont mind but if im to be helped in direction i might as well fully explain my goals. I want to design games, concept art mainly but would love to be fully involved in any part of the game if possible. I would not be picky of course nor could afford to be and i am not against bending ideas i just want to work in the industry that would make ME happy and would be a life i wouldnt mind living. I am not however againts working in fields related such as animation and movies or even illustration if it related to books or comics. Thats just to make it clear that im not adverse to other fields of a simialar nature. Idealistically and i hate using that word because it implies not-realistically which couldnt be further from the truth in my mind, i would love to make games in japan. Why? Because as a country ive been to on occasions its a place i felt most creative . comforatable and frankly a place i love being at. Of course this isnt of importance now but i felt i should put the "where do you see yoruself in 5 years" goal in retrospect. At any rate going to smc i can always transfer to university of long beach at a later date.

well what college near lakewood, as in BUS distance offers the classes i need ie TONS of art classes of all medias to help build a portfolio..job placement is also a help. Right now i work an unbendable job but fortunately it ends at 1230 in teh afternoon leaving me open for evening classes. Im looking at cal state long beach and they seem to only know liberal arts.

Right now i have a decision that needs to be made and i cant decide i have no real guidance on these issues..i cant rely on the schools counselor as its her job to sell me the school Tomorrow i go to orientation at Art Institute for game art and design Amongst many of the things id love to do with art i have decided video game design is the most prevelant and covers all the bases..plus its something id love to do Heres the thing AI is expensive and i get ZERO grants ....so the only thing i can rely on is loans....which ill most likely be paying back until im dead since ai is 75k for the full 3+ years I really just dont know what to do i mean couldnt i just go to cal state long beach which is literally right down the block and get similiar skills with their art program at a much smaller price? My time is running out im already 26 , why is this so easy for everyone else but i keep having issues...i mean its what i really wanna do , its what i grew up loving , and the idea of having to do airport security crap forever makes me want to put a bullet in my head It seems everyone i know easily went to school...got soime grants maybe got some smaller loans, ugh and they are always telling me how easy it is, im thinking cal state might be better but then im worries ugh i have to wait ANOTHER semester to start it and then maybe it wont have classes i would need any game designers here or concept artists? where did you go and what did you do..and please dont give me the whole ordeal about it being a small field and how its tough to break into oversaturted etc..i know these things and frankly its something i cant dwell on or care about
