  1. The use of the red outline around the top right part of the render works well. Also the definition of the X's is original, the effects of the background and lighting suits the picture well.
  2. I've had Vista for about 3 months now and I hae had no problems whatsoever with it. I would have stayed with XP but my new PC came with it pre-installed on it. Its a good OS and despite what people say about its flaws its still great.
  3. It really takes me back, Gauntlet: Dark Legacy was a good game. However, i didn't like the way that you could accidentally poison you own food. Anyway, the game was indeed good especially for its time.Good game.
  4. Thanks you guys, I did make these in fireworks. Also anymore feedback from anyone would be great.
  5. These are some WoW sigs I cooked up whilst revising for my exams. Could you please tell me how I can improve each and the which parts are good in all 3, they are all similar but state which parts from each should be used to make a better versio nfrom all 3. hope that made sense. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Thanks in advance.
  6. I vote Saint Michael because i prefer the definition and the contrast in the colours in it.
  7. To me I generally think that the Cavs have a better, more interesting and more accurate style of the game whereas the Spurs run as they say "a basketball clinic." Although i don't support the Cavs or the Spurs but the Cavs have many unnoticed stars in their team, for example Gibson shot 5/5 3's in the conference finals against the Pistons and looked strong to keep this up throughout the final series.
  8. The final outcome of the updated version is here:
  9. The tutorial for this is here: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/48420-fireworks-iceman-tutorial/
  10. Personally i think that the iphone is Steve Jobs' way of trying to explore the world of mobile technology whilst failng misserably. I think this will fail personally.NOKIA RULES.
  11. I have tried this and i must say that it works really well. Also, even on fireworks its looks good (although i don't have twirl on fireworks.)
  12. Thanks, i would also like to welcome any other suggestions to this sig.
  13. NBA Street Home court looks really good, i haven't got it yet but it looks awesome.
  14. I have taken your suggestion Domi007 and tried this effect, tell me what you think:
  15. Thanks for the suggestions, but I don't really know how to make ice rain but i can work on it. Also, i have posted a tutorial in that section, hopefully it will be accepted.
  16. Iceman Tutorial This tutorial will show you how to make this sig in FIREWORKS: This is the render that was used (I know the ice that he is standing on is cut out but I didnt make this render): http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Canvas 350x150 with 300px per inch: Firstly, I made a rectangle with an 11 border and a wave fill, this is to add a darker effect to the total image: Then I used an oil slick brush and scattered it across the canvas, this was Gaussian blurred at 4.1: I used the oil slick brush again with a lighter colour; this was set at a radial blur of amount 26, quality 20. Also there was a glow of: 6, 65%, 12 and offset of 0: By cutting out a section of the ice, blurring this is the next part of the sig: Now, use the render, this will need to be at about 480 wide x 320 high, use an average on the render and change the opacity to 60: Shrink the render to about 370 wide x 160 high, use a glow of: 4, 65%, 12 offset 0: Duplicate the render (without the glow) this time use 51 opacity and use the blur tool as much as you want: Now add some text, I have altered each letter by converting them to paths: Create a thin border of 346 x 146 and an X 2 and Y2, by changing the layer of the border you can create some different effects from the ice coming out of the sig to Iceman doing the same, just choose what you want: UPDATE: I have updated my sig and added the icerain as requested, this is where i got the rain tutorial from: http://forums.xisto.com/topic/37180-how-to-make-cool-rain-effect-photoshop-tut/ I could do anything but use the twirl part. (For the use of the rain effect I duplicated the whole signature and not just the render.) I hope this all makes sense.
  17. Could you please give me advice on this sig and also rate this as well. This was made in fireworks. if you can't see that use the link: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/404.png Thanks in advance.
  18. PS3 LAIR Metal Gear Solid Tekken 6 Resistance: Fall of man Xbox360 Halo Series Crackdown Lost Planet Splinter Cell Conviction Thats all I can think of right now.
  19. I agree with Jarlaxe that NOKIA RULES, the simplicity within each phone and product that they make, to add to this nokias has all of the media functions along side the business applications which is perfect for anyone who wants to listen to music whilst viewing PDF files etc.Personally i think that Nokias are great and very durable. I vote Nokia'sover any other.
  20. Most of your post i approve of, but i would like to put across my view with some more points: This is very important in any games console, also the online gaming aspect is growing very quickly obviously as more and more games have this feature, some of what is majorly important to any game or console is just what you have said above. I belive that their are many games that are better or even worse on any given console, these version exclusives really annoy me as they would receive a wider market on many consoles (mainly because i have the other console that it isn't one) to add this, most games are copies from other consoles/ computer systems because that is what happens to all games they get portted to all consoles sometimes for the worse. To me personally, i have a PS2 but i wouldn't play any old games on a PS3 anyway so i am back to square one. I want a clear winner because their are games on both systems that make me swing to either console. For example the Xbox has great games like Halo (obviously) gears of war and Graw (i know its on other consoles but much better on xbox) whereas the PS3 has games like LAIR which looks fantastic and the new tekken and metal gear solid which may never port to 360. Assassins creed is going on both consoles so it doesn't make a difference but still a good game. Firstly i didn't mean cheap i just meant cheaper. I also based the opinions of "ok and excellent" on my personal experiences of each console, the PS3 seems much easier to use and control for me and the xbox seems as if it isn't quite as good as it is suppossed to be, yes i know the PS3 can be a big let down at times aswell, but on both consoles there are no must have games that lie specifically on one console for me. The specs don't worry me as i have analysed them time and time again (yes i am a huge geek.)Finally, i will wait to the end of the year before making any decisions (as i have no money at the moment and need to save up to get one.) Sum up i guess: Specs: virtually the same Loading time please watch this video from gamtrailers and see the waiting and waiting for both consoles (i am ashamed at the PS3 in this) http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ To me the console winner really will have to wait for me as it is still hazy for me as they are both fun and not just the 360. Also, what is with the Elite 360 not playing HD-DVDs, it might struggle there in the HD movies department. I'm still thinking what to get..........
  21. Well, Sony actually made the gaming industry what it is today by almost hammering the last nail in the dreamcast coffin, also they do make other decent electrical products, the PSP SUCKED.It is wrong to say they "suck" because that is your view and both consoles have equally decent games including the various exclusive games, 360: Halo obviously and the PS3 has the tekken series, MGS, LAIR. The titles and gameplay are both good, but i personally this "gaming war" will end with one console getting the "exclusives" and the other being left to rot like the dreamcast did. I just hope that the exclusives spread across both platforms e.g. tekken and MGS because the PS3 and 360 will become cheaper FAST and hope that one consosle will rise above the others.I am still surprised that the new 360 Elite is not sporting the HD DVD drive where as the PS3 has Blu Ray.
  22. The aspects of this game seems very good, the ideas look quite original and probably just as good as the new COD4 modern warefare.
  23. I prefer Windows because the software that i use runs much more smoothly on a windows OS, also the amount of software compatible with a MAC is not nearly as much as Windows. Windows for me seems to be able to do everything i need it for from media to business.
