Anyone follow that cat abuser Kenny Glenn thing?
Some punk uploaded a video of himself smacking his cat around, slamming him into the wall and throwing him under the shower on youtube.
Catches the attention of anonymous, they do their detective work and shenanigans.
Authorities take the kid (and his cameraman friend) into custody and the cat is taken away from them within the day.
Sad thing was the cat just goes limp and takes it, obviously not a one time affair.
In other news, C64 games are (probably) coming to the Wii's virtual console

Well, there goes the fourth and final Futurama movie.
This one was all about Fry's destiny the niblonians hinted at in previous episodes, overall another good movie.
I'm glad there was a cliffhanger ending, because there was talk they would be wrapping the entire series up and not leaving any room for continuation.
I still doubt the show will get another chance, but there may be another dvd movie or two down the line...

I've always disagreed with not AAing these lines, at least under all circumstances.
As most of us will agree, AAing is mostly math, and using simple math it's easy to see that a 45º line is not actually "1 pixel thick":
If you were to move the edges of the diagonal line to fill in the gaps- it becomes much clearer
You can see that a diagonal line only occupies 60% the width of a straight line. (as in working with the physical orientation of pixels)
This is why over long stretches of a 45º line I think it's appropriate to AA, preferably 40% of the colour of the line itself.
However, it's not really necessary over short lines, or when lines are several pixels thick

« on: January 28, 2009, 03:09:23 am »Cool. tons of things to read, not enough time to read 'em all and make any kind of cohesive response.How do you disagree on the "decision" statement?
I do, however, disagree on the "Religion, It's something you choose!" statement made much earlier.
I was born(?) and raised a christian, taught christian fundamentals and ideals and told that there only is christianity, and all other options are some voodoo nonsense... grossly exaggerated of course, but the idea is there. Christianity is the "only way" and anything else I learned about in school came with a "This isn't true" disclaimer.
Christianity wasn't a choice for me 'till I was 18, and even now I run on a bastardized, personalized version of christianity because nothing else has ever presented itself as a reasonable alternative to believing in an omnipresent deity. I theoretically have a choice in the matter, but the most choice I have is to get the tattoo I have removed and get another one elsewhere; there will always be traces of the original.
I was also born and raised a christian, going to church every sunday etc, always felt terrible for even thinking about considering other possibilities, but it took catholic highschool to make me realize how much I hated that mind control.
To be perfectly blunt, I find less and less to respect about religion as I grow, there are still values worth admiring, but I believe they aren't exclusive to religion in the first place.
I'm still comforted by the idea of a God, but I view that as a personal shortcoming.
No offense to anyone implied, I'm not a very philosophical person and I don't have much more to say about the matter.

here's the reference:
I can't remember if I traced a horribly skewed version of the art or helped someone else with the lines or something...
Point is I'm very ashamed of that lineart and I'd suggest just starting from scratch
