The only time you should need to get a new video card is if it does not have Pixel Shader. I had this problem when I originally got the game and couldn't play it for quite a while. When I finally did it worked perfectly fine. So ya, basically if you don't have pixel shader you have to get a new video card. If that doesn't work try to update your drivers and let us know if it works =D

I saw them the other day but didn't get around to commenting. I really like most of them, though it's not the art style I personally go for in my sigs I think you pulled it off really well. As for the one with no text, I bet that person was rather happy =D. Keep up the good work man!EDITThe vertical signature is really well done but honestly I hate signatures like that. They stretch the forum way down every time you post and it is kind of annoying. If your just making it to post in posts like this though its fine. Another good one!

How is not believing what isn't proven BS, you JUST contradicted yourself. By saying believing in whatâs proven true is wrong it completely contradicts that. As for the originally bible being different, there is no proof but I sure hope you're right about that because the one we have now its full of contradictions and lies. To people who don't like Atheism for one reason or another hereâs my reasoning on why I am on. 1.) I don't believe what isn't at least to some margin provable (example I can believe there are many more planets out there even though I havenât seen them. 2.) I can easily believe in what IS proven as, well itâs kind of proven =P

To me, it's not so much that there isn't anything after death, I guess I can't honestly say I'm 100% atheist due to the fact that I do believe something will happen after, I just can't really say what it is. Your definitely right that you can't blindly follow what is told as fact either, but I can't convince myself that anything else can be true, it just doesn't make any sense to me. A lot of people I know have very opinionated views on religion, mainly the quarrel of atheism to Christianity. I dislike the stereotype of both beliefs. My friend for example fills the stereotype for atheism, he despises all other religions and thinks that, for example, every Christian is a fanatic person who tries to convert everyone they know. Whereas I also know a person just like that, well knew, a person that was literally trying to convert everyone they knew. Well basically my point is, I hate the stereotypes of all religions, but when the people are just like you and I, I don't mind what religion they are.Sorry if this rambled on into something that didn't make sense, I'm rather tired lol.

First off I want to say don't turn this into a war, I just like to discuss religion to get an idea as to why people believe in, or don't believe in stuff. I'm personally an atheist mainly because I don't like the idea of not being able to prove something does exist. I believe that if it can't be proven there is no reason to spend you're life blindly chasing after it. Now if something were to happen and we were to realize some god(s) or another were in fact real then sure, I would follow their teachings but otherwise, I don't honestly think there is any need for religion. Correct me if I'm wrong, but all religion is would be teaching morals, which you can teach in a variety of ways. So w/o religion everything would be the same right? Well as I said don't turn this into a flame war (I know lots of people have very strong views on religion)

Ya I use Photoshop CS2 for just about every graphic I make as I'm not to familiar with any of the other programs and don't want to have to learn all over again lol.

Thanks, originally I had some bigger bold words but I felt it offset the plain blending that I had worked so hard for. Instead I made the font small and black so that its noticable but not overwhelming. As for the cut I can't take credit for that, found it on some render site.

What do you guys think? Took my quite a while to find the render I wanted to use, and the c4d was even worse. Once I got those though It was just a little time consuming. Well ya, let me know what I can improve on or change to make it look better

I played this game to level 50, but I was never at my keyboard =P honestly I just used it to see if I could hack it and it was amazingly simple. Anyways the game itself was still pointless at lvl 50 so i stopped wasting my time on it.

Ya, the thing I don't like about that is the fact that the background isn't transparent. Otherwise it looks fine.

thats what I got

Now I think you carry a good point, but to my understanding the only way we could carry that memory in the way your saying would be if the whole brain stayed together as most of it relies on other parts of the brain.

Urban Signature Tutorial By =|[K|T]|= Arkane of Gamexe.net DO NOT POST THIS ON ANY OTHER SITES WITHOUT MY PERMISION Make a new document 700 by 250 Fill it with black Brush it white with any urban-like brush set you have Press ctrl-u and set it to red (or w/e color you want, you can change it later if you want) Set the blending mode of this layer to difference Make a new layer Move the new layer below the original layer Goto Filter - Render - Clouds Then Filter - Sketch Plaster (Mess with the settings until you get something you like. I normally try to make about half the image to the plastered look with 3-4 big "lakes" in the middle. Goto Filter- Sketch - Chrome with Detail of 10 and Smoothness of 0 Next Filter - Sketch - Plaster, I used the same settings as the first time. Use the Crop tool with a width of 350 and a height of 125 to crop the image to proper size, put whatever border you like around it but I wouldnt recomend anything to odd as it might come out looking bad when we make it 3d-ish Now, merge all of the layers, ctrl-a - ctrl-c Make a new document, lets just do 500 x 300. should work fine Now paste your background in here (ctrl-v) Press ctrl-t Go to edit - transform - perspective You can mess with this all you want but to do it quickly grab the upper left corner and drag down until you get it looking good Go to edit - transform - scew Feel free to mess with this also, i just grab the top - middle and drag up Now paste your render in Reposition it so its feet are on the render and it looks about the right size compared to the "ground" Now take the lasso tool and circle everything at about knee level, you can go higher if you think it looks better Press ctrl-alt-d Set it to 20 press ok, then backspace on your keyboard. Now add whatever text you want and your done =D

Well I tried out this tutorial as I'm sitting in school bored out of my mind and I have to say I really like the outcome, definatly for being able to do it in Elements (the only photoshop this horrible computer has) I messed with the tutorial a bit, did it twice colorizing them red and blue then doing one with a plaster effect and mirroring it, well this is what it came out to

I have to say, for the simplicity of the tutorial I LOVE the effect it makes. One thing I noticed was if instead of setting the levels to 155 : 44 : 255 you can set it to 155 : .1 : 255 and the do the same levels again and you get a nice arc of lightning, repeat on a couple different layers and you get something like this. took me like 5 minutes, color isn't so great because I just went to indexed color and used blackbody. Either way, GREAT tutorial.

Well in my opinion it's already proven that this does not happen. Now before you say "OMG but how would you know???" Consider this, if this was possible wouldn't you then remember your last life, I find it kind of a stupid thought that everyone on here would have only been able to live one life. I mean think about it, not one of us can remember our "Last Life" i can almost guarantee it, but if you believe in rebirth then its also impossible to believe that not one of us has been reborn yet.Now in the department of WANTING to remember, defiantly, it would be great to have all of this knowledge right from the start! You would be able to skip most of school and have MUCH more free time etc.

I'm an avid fan of CS:S, I tried BF2 for a while, also a real fun game, but I have to go with CS:S here. Not all that bad of graphics, AWESOME game-play etc, well I'm not gonna go to in depth, back to playing CS:S

Ya, most of the ones with animation i did quite a while ago and honestly don't want to go through all of the work of re-animating themAs for the blood one, well I had no clue what I was doing when i started, as you can notice, the gray of the metal around the cut blurs in with the blood when I smudged it down, due to that it got mis colored but the guy I was making it for didn't really mind.

Hehe, thank you, I made it about a month ago, once I finish up with some homework I'm going to continue work on my newest one, but not really sure what my goal with it is yet. Probably a new and improved Sig-making technique.

Very interesting, I always considered this when playing soccer with friends but didn't think it went that deep. Ill have to remember it for next time I play =D

As you can probably tell I make a lot of signatures for other people, mainly in my clan for Counter-Strike but if anyone wants one be sure to let me know. Also please, comment and criticize my work, I'm always looking for ways to make my signatures better (and I already know some of my old sigs like the animated one I made for myself don't have the greatest fonts.

Finally got around to it, I'm not sure if i managed to blend the background with the render as well as I wanted but hey, I used a really cool font =D By the way I didn't add the 007 because the font didn't have "7" in it and it came out as a backward C.

ya i realized that after i posted and felt like a complete idiot, looks like i have to fix the image real quick though

Give me a couple minutes and ill pull one up for you. Do you mind if I just change one of my old ones to have your name?bah ill make it tomorrow

Ya, it's defiantly a hard game to break yourself away from but when you get to the highest level (70) you begin to run out of things to do, if this happens it actually gets hard TO play it lol
