New to GIMP
And from someone whos progressed from Gimp to photoshop.Gimp is a more diluted version of photoshop in that the quality of effects, no layer tearing etc and its not as user freindly but you can replicate a lot of results in photoshop providing your experienced and can work around the problems.

Blood Elf Signature
use a large soft brush on a reduced opacity, real low like <10% to erase whatevers covering youre focal point.Also try not to scale your render down so much because it leaves alot of empty space which doenst really work in sigs with a heavy use of brushes and a single primary colour.

Are you playing again??? I saw one of your guildies in EoTS one night - I messaged him and asked if he knew you.. he just said, kinda. Yeah, came back for a bit to check everything out. I took the xfer off of Aman'thul (Pve) to Thraussian (Pvp) so I had to leave all my guildies behind. Plus my heart really isn't in raiding anymore, I'm a bit burnt out. So I mostly just do bgs and buy S2 arena gear. The main reason I came back though was to update my armory profile so I can try and sell my char before Wotlk comes out and all my gear turns to crap. I can't see myself bothering to level from 70-80 when wotlk comes out so I may aswell make a profit out of my grinds. Edit: Got a fair amount of gold lying around so might buy a timed run through ZA to get the bear mount aswell. 5.3k is the going offer... too easy. :thumbup: 5.3k.. damn thats cheap. Guilds on Griefmoore are selling them for up to 10k. I guess it shows how big and stupid our realm is. Silvermoon eu i was offered a timed ZA run for the bear for 4k.Also depends on how many guilds on your server can do it with 9 people, in silvermoons case its about 55

Olympics 2008
So the olympics are officially at london.Its going to be interesting the direction they take now because they cannot outclass china in pomp and ceremony, venues which are more about archetecture than sports and more money than ever.Its going to bring regenaration to london, and a 11 billion pound bill which i will ahve to fork out because i will be paying taxes :wall: theres always a catch -.-

I took part in turpsters dingstravaganza where turpster and wow insider fans rolled about 500 level 1-6 gnomes and dwarfs and basically attempted to kill turpster the undead shadowpriest as a boss and to ding 70.It was all scripted and anything and then to top it off we ran through ironforge to the deeprun tram where he dinged in front off an army of gnomes and dwarfs.Pretty awesome huge player events, especially on that magnitude.

So the 360 has been selling 2x that of the PS3 in Japan
I doubt that because COD5 is still very popular and due to that popularity it will probably sell more than Gears of War 2. Hasn't GTA4 and SSBB already sold 5 million? Wii Fit, Mario Kart Wii and MGS4 are still selling pretty well. This might sound stupid but what is an AAA? Gears 2 wont sell 5 million.GTA 4 and SSBB have sold 5 million because they are reaching out to a huge installbase with one being multiplat and another being on a console which is just chewing up the gaming market. Anyway we shouldnt give this guy any credence, this forum shouldnt have threads like this in it because its just detremental to discussion.

Im back into the game now that the summer at least where i live is officially over, the weathers getting worse and freinds are getting busier with college enrolement so i thought i would get back on my druid, and ive been itching to level him up.Got his herbalism up significently and dinged him 2 levels. Also my dad is now playing.My dad works shifts where he works nighs, then afternoon and morning shifts which he likes but there is a void of 2 hours especially on nighs where he has nothing to do and he filled that with eve online.Now hes interested in wow so we signed for the recruit a freind program and we both rolled horde.He rolled a tauren shaman and i rolled a troll mage (i also rolled a warrior) and its just insane how quick it is.Currently there both sat in orgrimmar at 32 and that was in like no time at all.Also the synergy we both have with the composition and he is sat next to me any mob even elites just crumble.Ill have to see what happenes further on but this is a stroke of genius, and i am spending more time iwth my dad. And now i have a druid who might be overtaken by a troll mage alt :wall:

So the 360 has been selling 2x that of the PS3 in Japan
No your full of [cabbage].They would have bought 3x as much as it would have if it was on ps3, 8x as much on ps2 and infinitly as much on wii. The only reason xbox360 is getting all these japanese rpg's is that MS is desperate to penetrate japan and they havent, backroom deals are being made,Heres 50 million dollars sakaguchi to make me final fantasy(lost oddysey) and dragonquest(blue dragon).No japanese game developer wants to spend money on developing for 360 when its sales are so dismal on the region and its also why where seeing more games go to wii and ds because its sold so incredibly well, 6 ds's to every person in japan in fact.It also works the other wya in terms of squenix porting FF13 to 360 in north america because of teh defecit of install base between the 360/ps3 And japan have this weird buying mentality where they just dont buy things from the west, even games.Prince of persia had its art style revived to look more anime and they affiliated it with fake japanese deleopers and they still didnt buy it.In this case tales of vesperia is a big deal and the fans will buy the 360 if only to play that and ace combat 6. Oh and heres a fun fact, the original xbox never sold more than half of its original shipment, in fact if you buy one in japan your buying an xbox from the first ever shipment.

Your favorite comedian
No other comedian has anything on Richard pryor, i did a media assignment on racism in the media and i did it on richard pryor, if at least to go through his catalogue of fantastic shows. Modern day comedian:Bill Bailey.Not as international as Richard pryor, i dont think his comedy transceneds outside of britain well because its a lot about those british establishments and icons. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qod7nSGKag0 Some ye olde poetry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmpw5wwEHlY Argos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_HyS94O2h0 Starsky and Hutch Oh and all i can say is that i applaud the backlash to that moneygrabbing sleezeball Peer kay who i still dont think has an official site but just a store to sell his dated crap.Im so [bleep]ing sick of seeing bolten albert halls repeats and hearing GARLIC BREAD.Well [bleep] you for degenerating the stnadards off british stand up momentarily only for mock the week to save it from embarresement.Harsh but hes so astranomically overated.

Olympics 2008
And they completely broke that record via brute force.That russian record had the smoothest baton chnages and the key to relay is baton speed and not runner speed so slow safe changeovers impeed time but the jamaicans completely disregarded it and did safe changeovers with the fastest ever runners.Also it was great to see Asafa run at full pace in an olympic final, something we didnt see in the 100m, but it wouldnt mater anyway because he could have only got silver :P

I tried to avoid and ignore the speculation over underage gymnasts but i will say that i would have never have guessed that they were all 16, the oldest one looked 16 but the rest i dont think so.

Sony announces PSP-3000
Its just a codename 3000, like what people are calling ms's alledged waggle wand, the newton. I suppose it doesnt look so differant but its more refined than the psp 2000, its not just making it finner and improving the battery ebcause it wasnt heavy anyway but it is removing screen glare etc which is a problem with todays portables. I wont buy one till its below £100 and i can wait because i have a ds.

Olympics 2008
I agree with the new olympic direction set out by the IOC that olympic sports should be exciting, interesting and compelling for young people to encourage them to take part.Thats why where seeing a lot more sports associated with young people and sports that werent around a century ago like BMX.Also yeah baseball and softball were dropped as a sport before london was confirmed as the hosts of 2012.Oh and i was watching the BMX sprint at about 6am in the morning and it was so thrilling, especially when britains gold medal hopeful crashed out and took a chunk out of her arm. And the hate over usain bolts celebration for 200m, i thought it was funny but what i thought was the american athelete who got DQed and almost threw the american flag on the floor...that would have been pretty shocking and bad etiquette at an international event which is in essnece all about being patriotic and representing your country well.

The official World of Warcraft thread.
Actually it was Arthas' dad that was talking. The cinematic looks to be a very important portion of the story line as it shows that Arthas does not just have power over the scourge, but actually rules over them like a proper army. Much more deadly then random undead coming at you :P Ok i know [bleep] all about wow lore...

Ive been playing a spy on my freinds computer (hes so hardcore) and i think thats the way i want to play it when i get it for myself on my new pc. The heavy when i played it doenst seem to do anything for me, the medic was fun but only because he had the ubersaw( yeah he farmed) and i was playing with people faring heavy achievements. God im getting desperate for it now. btw will this run it well? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... cat=&name="Ultima%208800GS%20SLi"%20AMD%20Athlon%2064%20X2%206000%203.00GHz%20Dual%20Core%20DDR2%20System

The new wrath cinematic visually looks spectacular and arthas looks badass but, its just arthas talking and seeing a whole revine of scourge. The bc cinematic was really varied and had that moment at the end where illidan shouts "YOU ARE NOT PREPARED" and i think it was great to show the main villain as the grand finale but i think that blizzard see's arthas as one of the best characters they have, and i agree, and his lore is so much more interesting than other blizzard archetypes that they just made there cinematic around him. No gnomes though :cry:
