Très bien mantra!

Thought i would update this, Wednesday 02/07/08 at 12:40 my beautiful daughter was born weighing in at 7lb6. We have named her Elanor Louise (any petrol head will know where i got the name Elanor from

)

Mother and Elanor are both fighting fit and doing well.

So take care MxO enjoy sati's playground, i might get time to play in there but at the moment i havent had time to even pick up my 360 controller so time to play MxO is very unlikely.

I think your on to something...

"SAW" was good , something different and new with a good twist at the end, the rest have just been an excuse to come up with horrible ways to kill people.

as for the topic at hand i don't think she was implied to have been involved in the first movie's main "puzzle"

something to do with the van? as the image retrieval has the van in the screen

Oh well in which case it must be that its not being pushed for publicity just yet here coupled with the fact that i haven't been to the cinema for a while.

There's been a huge cardboard figure of Wall*E in the foyer of my local cinema for a good few months now, although the first time I saw the trailer for it was a few weeks ago when I went to see the Incredible Hulk!
Edited for spelling and enthusiasm...

I'm guessing that's in the states? admittedly i haven't been to the cinema for a while as there has been naff all i wanted to seen but i haven't see a thing about Wall*E in the UK

I love pixar films, no mentions of toy story?! I used to be able to quote Toy Story line for line quite a few years ago. Pixar films make it possible for parents to take their children to the cinema and enjoy the film as mush if not more than the kid. I love CARs possible because it is much like Days of Thunder off of the 90's and im a bit of a car nut. i wouldnt like to say what is my favorite Pixar film they are all good.

I hadn't even heard of Wall*E before now so thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Yes we went through a combat revision, i believe all the answers you need will be found here

If they didn't, where would all the calculators go?

((sorry red dwarf reference "The Last Day" Season 3, Episode 6))

I would say that as machines don't die they are either erased, cease to operate or exile in the term of a program their heaven would be exile in the matrix would it not, where as the source would be their hell as they cease to be. just my 2pence.

I don't know why you won't excpet any cash, the only reason mine sold so well in the first place was i started selling them close to when the patch came out i've stoped now because 1 the person who supplied the items can no longer get in there and two they just won't sell as well. chances are 16 million is the highest you going to get, I know you want to sell them for 50 mil but you might have to take the best offer you can get otherwise they are gonna sit in your e-mail/inventory.

I have to agree with Aracher, you have missed the boat.

I very much doubt i can make next week either, for the same reason that I cant be sure that I can be there and i will be taking up a place that can be used by someone else for sure.

Im not even sure if such an item exists but if it does and you have one i would like to buy the code and 1 item I'm willing to pay $i10mill.

Lowbie flagged and killed by someone higher level conversation to his faction mates:
[faction] lowbie: some idiot just killed me
[faction] lvl 50: WHO?!
[faction] lowbie: This guy *insert name*
[faction] lvl 50: Come on lads lets chew his ear off
[faction] lvl 50 (1): Yeah
[faction] lvl 50 (2): *CENSORED* this isn't a hostile server
[faction] lvl 50 (3): who does he think he is
[faction] lvl 50 (4): how dare he

I'm sure you have all witnessed this normally end's with
"I'm gonna tell your faction leader"

Please accept my apologies but i will have to pull out , i cant be certain i can make it Sunday night and its not fair to take up a place that may not be filled it may as well be passed onto someone who can make it for sure. sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I will be about tonight and will endeavor to find a replacement, but don't that stop anyone else jumping in.

Again please accept my apologies.

Just wondering, What photo editting software are you using???

Paint Shop Pro 10

Très bien mantra!

That's an interesting and effective method to take the highway and use that as the reflection, i hadn't though of that even more stuff for me to try and incorperate into editing, i really need to get Photo shop too im sure there are tools on there that would help me.

Mine is probably a bit too bright but i was working on the idea that there was a street lamp just off camera to the left (hence shadow location)

Thanks Rylet, I'm sure I can make that. If I cant I will give prior notice.

Well Top Gear is on 8pm-9pm sunday so even a 1pm MCT "kick-off" would be good. Is that possible?

*If* the time is moved PLEASE make it after 9pm uk time as Top Gear will be on

Unless you want us UK people to do our matches at our convince? and send you the results then arrange the other rounds for another time?

I will talk to him this evening, and prod the other 2 in the direction of this thread.

I am free Saturday so i can do that obviously pending the aforementioned complication

I have not seen Poochni for at least a month now so i believe it is safe to assume he will not be continuing the evaluation, RazuacheV2 i have spoken too and he is in active service if you require him to post here i will pass that onto him.

Yea, neither will I.

Each fight is 3/5, so the time it will take will roll into possibly 2 hours. It is a sunday, so hopefully it can be moved to a much earlier time, since there are several players who are not in the US timezone.

2. What's with the obsession with fitting elephants into the storyline anyway, anyhow?

Elephants are the national symbol of Thailand, Tony Jaa is Thai and i have read somwhere that his family raised elephants.

Ong Bak & Warrior king showed some great martial arts not sure how practical it all is but it looks great. Ong bak 2 looks good too thanks for posting the preview

With your inputs i have reworked it to get to this:

I have decided not to have the headlights on, its parked

and i have added a personalised number plate to the car as my RSI is called The Stig so doing alpha numerical TH3ST16.

Im happy with it now i think it looks smart and matches the matrix colour scheme. Thank you for your inputs, but still feel free to have a play with them if you wish.

Can you please post the two separate images maybe so that would be much easier to edit them in PS.

sure.

im guessing you want the original screen too?

EndlessVoid wrote:

I think the problem might be that the shadowing underneath the car is too 'fuzzy' when the rest of your image has a super-sharpened quality to it. I guess the easiest way to match them would be to slightly blur the image underneath (and then maybe history brush away the parts you want to be 'in focus'" />. You could also try darkening the vehicle and adding a little green tint to it to get it to match that Matrixy ambiance.

A car that shiny is going to give you problems because of all the reflection work involved in making it 'fit the scene', anyway. I'm not sure that there's an easy fix for that, but you can dull the effect of the reflection by darkening the car a bit and brushing away the darkness on places you still want to shine. That will draw the eye away from the reflections, and also give you some of that high-contrast that the rest of your image is using.

- Void

Yeah the main problem, i have is that its a REAL item and i'm trying to add it to a virtual world, and the reflections are a nightmare. i have toned them down quite a bit and tried to make it look like there is a street lamp just off camera and yeah i agree that the part that looks most out of place are the shadows underneath and around the tyre to the bottom right. Thanks fo ryour input i will try then suggestions.

Thanks phor the attempt phluff i like the head lights i didnt get to that point, it was in the pipe line but phell by the wayside when i could'nt get it to blend nicely then in set phrustration. I'm still not sure it looks like it phits though. but you have given me a few idea's

(i hope that doesn't come across ungrateful)

I have played about with this screen and spent ages trying to get the car to look the correct colours but to me it sill looks out of place, i was wondering if anyone was able to make it fit in better? i have got bored of trying things to be honest, spent long enough removing and fixing reflections from the car, and enhancing the background.

Sounds good and like a good team idea for people who really want a said item.

But personally i hate all this content you HAVE to have a team for. I enjoy doing stuff solo even if it really really hard to solo and it annoys me that to get said item i have to round up a full team, yesh i know its a MMO but i still like to be able to so stuff on my own as its not all ways possible to get a big group of players to do said task.

like these ninja boxes i reckon we will have a few weeks maybe months where we have some strange alliances so most people can get the new items (if there are any) or the bragging rights to say "yep we did it" then it wont be used and it will become "sati's ghost town"

This isn't me being negative either its me being realistic its just my 2pence.

I have previously farmed these and i feel for you its boring and long drawn!

My suggestion is to code area hacks (Artillerist & Despoiler) round up a load of the one zero soldiers (the silver ones) that stand at the bottom of taskmasters platform by shooting them once normally the group of 3 will follow you, round up 4 or 5 groups of 3 and hack away (Disruption field, Code nuke 2.0, Logic bomb 2.0 & Plague zone 1.0) kill them all and then loot away. it wont increase your drop rate or anything but you get a lot of soldiers in one place to loot in one go, rather than one at a time. rinse & repeat. i did find this rather successful but it was probably due to the shear number of them i killed each "round"

Props to the guy who said "i know lets call it skynet" *sniggers*

Im looking for any clothing that can replicate the look of a racing driver, i think im as close as i can get but if there is anything you happen to have that suits better please suggest it, im not bothered about level or buffs obviously more is better

I will pay whatever depending on level and buffs

I want to get as close to this as possible

I currently have this look:

Final Skynet satellite launched

An advanced satellite that will improve greatly the ability of UK military forces to communicate around the globe has been launched into space.

The Skynet 5C platform rode into orbit atop an Ariane 5 rocket from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana.

It joins the 5A and 5B satellites lofted successfully last year and which are already handling secure traffic for UK forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The £3.6bn Skynet project represents the UK's single biggest space venture.
