Three Neat Avatar-based Sites Zantarni, Menewsha and Elyzeria
sylenzednuke replied to lekrissy's topic in Computer Gaming
Oh really thanks for posting this! I was sick of the communities at old and big web-sites turning into crap like Gaia for example...And don't really feel like playing any MMORPGs for now, 'cause most of them have crappy communities and the new ones need a better PC than the one I have right now... :)So I guess I could give all of these a try...Zantarni and Menewsha both look pretty good but Menewsha is seeming to be more appealing to me and I've decided to give it a try... :)Thanks for posting this once again! And if you seem to come across more of 'em, please keep posting about them.. -
Crazymind21 Application new and old stuff
sylenzednuke replied to crazymind21's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
Dude, that is really great! You are so better than me and if I can get into this then you surely can and so you get a straight "Yes." from me! :)The sigs are really great and you are quite good at template too, but at some point all your templates have some kind of an similarity and that's the only place I guess you should work on now. Try creating more diverse and vibrant layouts... You are already quite good but just giving this as an advice if you want to improve even more! :(And thinking that it was your first template, I guess that was 2 years back? Man then you are so good, but yeah maybe you were lucky to find good tutorials? J/k.You should seriously start writing some tutorials man if you have the time!Keep up the great work! -
That's why I say American schools are better off, here there's no bit of everything, there's a whole lot of nothing.
-
Well, yeah I agree to the fact that American students don't really care much for Education as for them High School is a way more vibrant thing, and that is good as well as bad if you ask me.Education is barely useful, half the stuff if you're pursuing something like being a Doctor, or an Engineering and those kinda things. It just keeps children so much away from stuff they would enjoy and we do need people in other areas. Hardly many children from the Asian countries like my own are aware of this, right now things are changing, but the pace is just too slow. And that too most of the stuff they teach in College, whatever I've been taught in High School, I never really paid attention and it has barely got me anywhere uptil now. The American system is still way more useful then ours, especially the State Boards are just pathetic, it's just brainwashing like North Korea but, a very mild one, but still there is some.I've seen people staring at me with weird eyes just 'cause I have being a bassist and a graphics designer as hobbies and Automotive Engineer as my career aspect, 'cause they frankly don't even understand what the hell I am speaking of, yeah the situation becomes so pathetic sometimes.It's obvious we have greater Math and that really helps and I love Math, but really the way we our taught and most of the education is crap, at least what I went through. It just gives more aid to the already pathetic condition of India from the inside. And most of the people are just so carried away by stuff they literally waste their lives, most of them are too brainwashed to do anything off-side and the ones who care most probably end up without any opportunities...We might seem like a fast-growing economy and all, but seriously at the grass-root level, we are all being brainwashed. Just now recently people have started opening their eyes.In America you have options as to what you want to do and you know what the world holds for you, here, you aren't even given a goddamn hint. And High School's other side prepares you for many challenges in life and it's one of the important parts of life where you learn so much, here it's just a waste, go there, get *BLEEP* stuffed in your head, go home, study and sleep. It's kinda suffocating once you come to know how the rest of the World is...We maybe great in Math, but once we compete with any other student from the rest of the World in anything, we'll all lose like hell. Here people don't know any other sport other than Cricket and they don't even know what skateboarding is when I am so interested in it and I loathe Cricket. I can't even find a place to skateboard. And to say I live in the biggest city in India, Mumbai.And most kids my age (15) just know 2 things; how to generalize and how to follow trends and the popular culture. Nothing else.

I absolutely love almost everything about this sig, except for the text, it just doesn't stand up to what you expect from it after looking at the sig... :)I'd give it a 9/10, due to the text. The colors and the way you've done the background is just awesome.Can you link me to the place you find such awesome renders from?
-
I like Green Day, in fact I loved American Idiot, and I like some, very few songs by Simple Plan and Good Charlotte, but I don't call myself a Punk or say that I listen to Punk just 'cause of these bands. There are loads of other bands I listen to. Apart from the old Punk legends like Ramones, Misfits, and many other underground bands which didn't even make it to as popular as the other 2 were!Nowadays, the only 2 somewhat popular bands I think can be called Punk are Anti-flag and Rise Against, the entire "emo" thing kinda pisses me off, not that I have anything against them, just that I don't like their attitude towards life and the way they are misunderstood for Punks...But now, after all this Emo *BLEEP* has pissed off just too many Punks, there are loads of underground bands coming back, in a few years I think people will be able to actually say that Punk is not dead.'til then, Emo and Pop-punk has killed Punk...

Another Sig very proud of this 1
sylenzednuke replied to crazymind21's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
I'd say this is your best work uptil now! :)Really love the render and the C4D, they strangely go very well with each other! And those other effects, really!And the text isn't too bas for this sig! I personally seem to like it perhaps...Good luck for your future sigs and keep up the good work!I'll give it a 9.5/10, 0.5 deducted 'cause of no border... XD -
Bg&e - Sig. Beyond Good Evil
sylenzednuke replied to sylenzednuke's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
Yeah, 'cause Freeshare.us has been down since a long time for no reason and I just don't know what happened to that site.I am thinking of switching my image hosting service... -
HAHA!Now that was really funny!
-
I did notice some changes, the top part and the results "head-line" part.But these changes are only there once I use the Google Toolbar in Firefox and not in Google.co.in. I'll edit this post with a couple of screenshots in a few minutes...Here are 2 screenshots, hope this shows you what the change is or what change did I see...

Free Domain Name Free Domain for Life.
sylenzednuke replied to OpaQue's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
This offer is only available to the members who have got their hosting, so first gather 30 credits and get a hosting and then make up 280 credits for the domain. Now when you get both of them you have TOTAL control of your web-site. Many features most free hosts don't offer like PHP, MySQL, Fantastico and many more and yeah, you can use AdBrite and AdSense if you want and there will be no ads placed by Xisto on your web-site, but you can add a button if you want to support and spread this great hosting service. For more information, contact the admins of the mods... -
2 Templates dunno wich i wanne use for the site
sylenzednuke replied to crazymind21's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
I really like both of them and I must really say you've done a brilliant job on BOTH of them according to me! The rocky one has more details, but I personally prefer the first one but it all depends on what your site is based on so if you could pass onto us some more information then we could help you out! EDIT: Sorry, didn't check your information post... Anyways use this new one, but yeah, work more on the banner and as this is a rocky, metallic layout, you could add a few techy add-ons to make it look more fabulous... -
Well, thanks for posting this here, as this will help a lot of people.I used to use this when Google Videos weren't available in India, I could use the service then after translating it through Google!

Graphics Crew Application [Imtay22]
sylenzednuke replied to Imtay22's topic in Graphics, Design & Animation
First I would like to congratulate you on improving so much! You're really close to getting my vote of yes but not now, I think you need a little bit of improvement still, like the banner was just awesome, but the reflection and orb weren't complete. There are some awesome tutorials out there which can help you ALOT! You've basically got some new ideas as I can see and now the only thing left is combining all of them! Good luck and hope to see you in within a month I guess. -
Female Foeticide Why do people prefer boys to girls?
sylenzednuke replied to velma's topic in General Discussion
Well I live in India and I know how much this thing is prominent here! When I first was told about this by my Mother and saw it in a couple of movies I was like stunned, I couldn't believe this actually happened. And such cases aren't any rare in this country even now...In Hinduism, the religion majority of Indians follow and the Indian culture itself (apart from any religion), dowry is one of the most important things which is the sad truth. Though now it's only prominent in the rural areas and hardly some urban areas, still as 72% of this countries population lives in villages, the numbers aren't less. Men have been preferred always and women are treated badly and sometimes there are cases of a Man coming posing as an NRI (Non-Indian Resident), luring parents to take their daughters to America (or other developed nations) and then ending up marrying off 5 or 6 girls and then leaving them all here and taking away the dowry. The dowry thing makes the parents most concerned about a daughter and the male child is the one who is supposed to ignite the corpse of the father (In Hinduism, bodies aren't buried, they are burnt.). And even if foeticide doesn't happen, the female child has to bear the brutalness of her own father for years until she gets married off sometimes...It's difficult to put a stop to this and especially in India I guess, with such low literacy level in the rural areas. And some people are actually denying to have a rational thought thinking that it's "western" and it's infecting the "indian culture", I totally hate such people, for example my far-away relatives, I really can't bear them sometimes insulting my cousin sister. Glad they aren't her parents and just relatives... It sometimes makes me laugh, not the killings but the stupidity, I mean what if there are only boys and no girls left? We are already killing this planet as someone already mentioned here and this will lead to our own extinction by our own hands!And there are various other factors related to it ranging from culture to culture and it's too complicated though I don't think it will take long enough for this to be eradicated completely, or at least I hope so.It has been made illegal in India now to even check and see what gender is the child before birth and the Doctor can be sued for this! -
It's not Google's work. Google has nothing to do with Firefox, but since a year and a half I guess Google has been into promoting Firefox. Or did Google take over Firefox?!? Anyways, I'll download it right away and is it fully functional like other FTP programs? I mean I've been using FileZilla so it this works good I might stop using it and use this thing only.

Windows Vista Aero Vs Linux Ubuntu Beryl
sylenzednuke replied to truefusion's topic in General Discussion
I agree with you. In fact I guess Microsoft will have to go through a long journey to get to be as good as Linux... And I prefer Linux even over Macs! -
I completely agree with you. And on top if that I don't really understand; did they ever even tried to make it look original?
-
I don't really have much to say on this except for one thing;There was a time when Micro$oft didn't suck.

Will Ubuntu Run On My System? Hardware questions...
sylenzednuke replied to sylenzednuke's topic in Operating Systems
Shipping costs are still fine, I don't mind them but customs will really worry me, sometimes it so happens that we have to pay 120% of the actual price of the product we bought! Okay, here I would need check which motherboard is mine now. And I don't need outstanding gaming performance at all, as I mentioned earlier, I'll mostly play MMORPGs which only require video memory upto 128 MB I guess for now, those free ones. Strategy games I don't think will require this much of video memory too! And not all FPS games require that much of a high configured video card as far as I've seen. And this one's 512 MB, my friends use 256 MB ones and I had a 128 MB one but somehow it stopped working. So I guess for me, it's really good for an average gamer. (I haven't played a game in 1 entire year! Used to play loads of Counter Strike and Unreal Tournament and many single-player games, not anymore, thanks to my graduation year. ) Anyways, thanks for all this help, and I am just going to shift to Ubuntu first and then think whether I have to buy off new hardware. -

sylenzednuke replied to OpaQue's topic in Alerts, News & Announcements
Well, you could ask OpaQue or BuffaloHELP for this! Or, if you agree, then transfer your credits to either of the Admins or the Mods if you trust them and then when you get your hosting and you are left with 2 credits, tell them to transfer those credits back to you. This might be a way but I am not too sure of this! -
Will Ubuntu Run On My System? Hardware questions...
sylenzednuke replied to sylenzednuke's topic in Operating Systems
Thanks! I guess I should clean up my PC (I assembled it on my own. ) and then I should switch to Ubuntu as soon as possible 'cause even XP has been causing a few problems lately but that maybe for the hundreds of screw-ups I've done. Will I have to buy a new processor if I buy a new motherboard? Like can't I have this one placed on the new one 'cause I don't think I do need a better processor for now, if I'll ever become that much of a gaming buff, I'll be better off buying a PS3 and I don't think I will ever move from strategy and some FPS. And my motherboard can/might support PCI graphic cards, so are there any good ones available which may run if not all, majority of today's good games? And how much would that cost then? And don't you think importing stuff from California (Newegg) will cost me just too much? I mean the shipping charges, customs and all? But yes the prices are kinda good. Kinda 'cause I don't know the current market prices here. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ - This one is not a bad deal at all for me. -
Well, I don't really have any friends whom I know for more than a year or two, the ones I have, they never really understood me well and they hardly know a thing about my personal life and the way I am, but still we all get along quite well and I do feel kinda good with them.1) You can call him my best friend but again he hardly knows about my personal life and mostly hates the things I do but I say he's kinda confused. He has been my friend for over 4 years now, we used to be alot alike, the only guys who were interested more into computers and technology than girls in my school. Then we got into hip-hop together and even got over it and now we both are completely into rock together, I mean we are kinda passionate about it, he is for guitar and I am for bass. We both do have somewhat similar views on things but this has been changing lately. He is more into metal and hates punk, I am into punk and don't really like metal that much. I have had some great times while hanging out with him which I don't do much but whenever I do, it's always so much of fun! Don't know whether I should really call him my best friend but you can say he understand half of me but isn't even aware of half of me!2) My girlfriend, I met her like some 7 or 8 months ago and I know this is definitely not a good time to make someone a best friend or moreover a girlfriend! But I don't know, just from day one (We had a chat of 7 hours from 9 PM to 4 AM...) I was totally into her. She really understands me well and I understand well too as she says, we aren't similar but we do have a lot of similarities in small little things which many people over-look. :)Basically there isn't much gradience in my friend circle, some people just don't understand me, but still they're my friend and we've been together, don't know what's keeping that up and many others who understand me to the fullest and I share each and everything with them!
