That is so awesome!!! I'm 100% sure many people would buy those if they started selling them (even themselves on small scale) theyd make $$$$$$Me thinks... Overheating problems?

Good topic!The site I'm hosting is a rant site (link in sig), for people and us to post things that annoy you. Unfortunately the site takes a long time to load from a image intensive Joomla template, but that will soon change (in exams atm... and none of our other members know how to do anything like that!)

I loved the first socom and the second. It was mostly for their tactical realism and the large maps The multiplayer was an absolute blast too!But now with the xbox 360 in my house, I suddenly remembered socom! So, are there any good (realistic) tactical shooters around similar to the ideas of socom available for xbox 360, or any for release soon? (Not clancy's rainbow!)I doubt there are any with the headset voice control - that was an awesome feature!!!! even though many said it didn't work... But any shooters that are realistic?Thanks

Yeah, but you keep tElling yourself it's worth it and get on with it!It really didn't take that long, considering everything you get; I'd say, maybe just under a week?!soon enough you'll have forgotten about the credits and be browsing the ol' forums like a pro!

Call of Duty 2 on x.360 live service.It is by far the most FUN game I have played and I have been going with it for ages (since I got the console it's been practically my only game)World of Warcraft is break even, although I havn't had the time to play it recently, and since I've been playing that game for yonks now it's getting tiring. NOT BORING, simply tiring. I'm so addicted I just keep playing it lol!Two top-notch games right there...

I agree with robocz; the faster one definitely has more advantages. I mean, 4200 is a long way off 7200 rpm which is pretty standard ^^160gb should be enough, unless your into uncompressed DV footage; that's like 15gb/hour and you can always get a convenient external HD... (theyre v. cheap now!)

Yep, it's all the same. We are being decieved. Organic is really not that great, except it costs the end consumer more and allows them to buy more fancy, elaborate plastic packaging with more ink wasted printing on them.It's like those hundreds of thousands of plastics, bottles, cans, metals that are being sent for recycling and instead are getting dumped in landfill!!Don't believe me?... Since the government is pusing so hard for recycling to go up no matter what, people are ending up just throwing all recyclable materials in one to get them off. What is the problem? sorting.They are so mixed up, it makes processing impossible. So now theyre just being buried in landfil along with all the other trash or sent illegally to countries like indonesia to dispose off and make some money.

mmm... I'm tring to see whether white or the colour I played with is better... I know comparing these two is a little unfair!!! since I did your bevel and emboss thing (I didn't realise you could do that!) I was experimenting earlier, and I really like the effect that comes out... The "3D" letter effect is nice, but unfortunately doesn't work great with the white letters... I think blue also suits the front page better...! I'll sign off there and see what he thinks tomorrow, unless anyone has a suggestion... Thanks rval, I hate to cut off the development process for now, but I suspect I'll be back with more suggestions tomorrow (some I may be able to do, some not!)

Love it! no more updates from me...

Can I get you're autograph!!!?I mean... you're 167 :Dcall me when you reach 200 and I'll come and give you a birthday cake!!!Welcome It's a good place here

<table><tr><td>/code]Dude, your very last code tag is off! look, it's missing a [ and screwing up the page!!! I could't make head or tail of that but your myspace looks ok to me (FF)

Basically I think biscuitrat is right that the outside ring isn't needed. So I decided to remove it... ^ ^ The page will have Brass Tracks (not Tacks!!!!) written in the top corner anyway. I think if the BT is white is goes very well and is clean, but only if it has some outline to it... I skeched this using paintbrush in photoshop quickly (sorry, don't have the psd yet!) so it's a bit wobbly (school mouse), but you get the idea.. Maybe it should also ba a slightly thinner line too... I'm also thinking that those two notes on the T could look quite good when done properly, but the thing inside the B should go... any thoughts?

OK, I feel slightly to blame for some of this confusion...@ Biscuitrat: The Logo Will be Shrunk, by about 60-70% the size is only so that once shrunk, any anti-aliasing will smoothen out everything... (And I was originally working in this size with the inner bit you can see on the old design; there was no need to shrink it! The edges being cut off; the canvas was cropped right to the edge, I may be to blame here! but I'm pretty sure I have *just* enough skill to smooth that! By asking for a web 2.0 style I was intentionally being a bit vague. For two reasons, I wanted to end up with a "smooth" looking logo, and I also didn't really have any specific info on how to achieve said smoothness! by saying web 2.0, rval immediately had an idea on where to go - and it turned out to be right ! That was all I meant by w2.0, nothing more! It will be for sheet music... i.e. the stuff you play from! Originally, I had made a logo with notes and stuff in the middle (attached), but that was the one he rejected! (Maybe because it wasn't great and didn't look that smooth)... The BT in the middle he had actually said that would be fine, so I'm assuming it will be!!! It will go in place where the logo is shown on the other pic attached - The whole deal will be printed on A4 (with a higher resolution than that pic). The white part will be cut and behind that corner is a printed sheet with the details for the different booklets. This is so he can send the covers with only one variation to be printed (and therefore get good bulk deals as they're the same for every product). HE LIKES THIS. Rval, I do like the first two you linked to quite a lot (The third is ok); they are far better than the original! The only thing I think that needs doing is finding a decent colour for either the BT or the inner circle... maybe biscuitrat already has an idea to spruce things up?

no, it's not! (but it's always nice )Really do appreciate the effort!! - you've now got me hanging on till tomorrow.. doh!oh and is there any way you can give me a clue for level 4 of your taxing puzzle!!!? Got past the S in a square one, but mr. linus is really boggleing me >:Pjust a tiny weeny clue ?

WOW!, thanks Rval, that was extremely quick but nevertheless exactly the sort of thing I meant!! I really like the smoothness of that inside circle now... but the outside seems kinda crappy!!! (It's okay that you make my original logo look sooo bad... ) It's going to be printed, not put on the web (I'm a ff user anyways) so the ie transparancy bug can't hurt me :DYou're right in saying that the blue BT with the logo isn't perfect matching... I'll have a play around and find a nice colour for the BT writing to match your smooth inner ring.If you could possibly do the outer black ring in a similar "smooth" style, that'd be great!

Hi, I'm working on a logo for a brand new music service my trombone teacher is doing. I have the main covers but I need to get a decent logo...He rejected my last one (lols!) but he loves the cover so much, I was wondering if anyone would be able to spice this logo up to the smooth, web 2.0 kinda style.It's important that the BT in the middle stays the same, with the five lines over the T, but I'm happy for you to resize / change colour / add a smooth gradient!!...Also, the outside ring's Brass Tracks writing is fine (suits the cover well), so unless you think it could be spiced up, that's ok.! (Font Included - just put it in your adobe photoshop fonts folder in program files and it'll load up into photoshop)The two offset circles are good, but the solid white one is simply a temporary guide, with no nice texture to it or anything (maybe slightly transparant?) it should have a slight web 2.0 gradient to it or sumthing. Same goes for the black background... It's the nice texture I'm really after as I think the positioning is good!!!In The Zip file is the (newer) brasstracks logo I've been working along in PSD (Photoshop CS2) format. There is also a version saved with maximise compatability turned on. I also included the font I used for the outer ring writing (Pablo LET) but there isn't much need to change that!! The two inner letters are a rasterised layer unfortunately!!Thanks very much for your help logo_files.zip

Y'know, people simply saying that they like the PS3 or that they like the Xbox isn't going to help the debate; I think we should build up a strong list of the top games for Xbox and PS3... How about it? (I'll put it in a side by side table once it grows!)Also, with the HD-DVD issue for xbox... Think of it this way, do you really need it? And when you decide you do, you can simply add it onto the console, so whatever way (and you can always sell the hd player off afterwards!!), you get the option instead of being forced to pay the higher price that works out about the same in the end, just with more choice!!! PS3 LAIR Metal Gear Solid Xbox360 Halo Series Crackdown More Dammit!!!

Well this would be possible... But the technology is nowhere nearly fully developed.Scientists have made the first "teleporter" that successfully works. Note that is doesn't send the particle to be teleported through the air, instead it creates an exact replica on the other end, whilst destroying the object on the other side.They have only managed to do this with a single photon, base of energy.So it would be possible, and without the static problems, as it doesn't get sent through the air!!In order to get a much larger output of power from it would require serious development, but after all, they are working on this continuously...

Looking now... I'll see what I can figure out! I can't remember much about frames... but don't you have to close the frame tags? You have closed the iframe, but the affiliates.php within the frame has not been closed...

There is one HUGE development missing from all WW2 or just the games where many characters are around the "single player" (whether npc or not). I came up with this idea yesterday and I have already passed it past so many people who agree it would turn these games to seriously top notch ones. The Single Player "campaign" style missions where there are many characters, controlled by the computer and you. (Let's not pretend, there always are other players with you in almost every mission of a game like Call of Duty, so this is about 99% possible) What if 8-or-so of those other computer controlled characters were online co-op players. How awesome would that be? Storming the D-Day beaches with your mates or going through and capturing the campaign mode village with 7 other warriors on the other end of an internet connection... They are developing 54 people plus, with 32 already working in some games for online battles, so what's to say that an 8-way would not be entirely posible to implement... They already have the technology and skill to do it!!! I think this would simply MAKE any game, what do ya reckon? Maybe if anyone could add to this idea, and totally improve it, we could all get an amazing game to feature this new "Feature" sometime in the future (Having known a developer would make this possible..)

Lol you cracked me up then !! anywhoo Since there are so many different types of rock it might be worth jst naming some decent bands: Bruce Hornsby and The Range Lost Prophets Evanescense All Time Great "Sting" - I know it's not really rock, but cmon, he deserves to be on the list!!! oh and big up the http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ jazz band they kick *bottom*. (you won't be able to find any info on them; I play in it!!)

All of those feature sound great! I really do look forward to COD4, but I hope they don't make the aircraft flying too "foolproof" trying to perfect that could be difficult. But if they pull that off. It'd be awesome. Everything else sounds great. There is one HUGE development missing from all WW2 or just the Call of Duty series games. I came up with this idea yesterday and I have already passed it past so many people who agree it would turn these games to epic proportions. The Single Player "campaign" style missions where there are many characters, controlled by the computer and you. (Let's not pretend, there always are other players with you in almost every mission, so this is about 99% possible) What if 8-or-so of those other computer controlled characters were online co-op players.

I think this would simply MAKE any game, what do ya reckon?

Honestly, if it's a vaguely decent game I'd be happy to pay to play, provided I can be a tester and tell you anything that I find dodgy!!!!!!!That seems to be my interest... We'll see the quality of the game: I'm looking forward to it!

I suggest the best thing is once you think you've uninstalled all of the programs go to the tuneup utilities site: /oldbrowser/index.html and download the free 30 day trial of the tuneup utilities 2007 (Last time I used it the version was 2006, but it shouldn't make too much difference.) Find the registry cleaner and just run that. You may be prompted to run it twice. Honestly, you'll be shocked at the number of duff registry entries. I had about 1500 broken registry entries and I don't install / uninstall very much at all nor have that many programs. I try not to install things that I'll be uninstalling straight away for that exact reason... It does speed things up if thats what your trying to do; and delete the large files later!!

lol I love being able to say this: I DID!!!! second post in the first reply!! yeah its quite a good utility. Although had some problems with one of the tabs - May have been Norton internet security (which I've now dumped in favour of kapersky IS6 ^^) causing crashing on directshow and one of the tabs I suggest care if you don't like crashes and have Norton... Here's a New Updated List any more for any more?
