So I went to see Transformers on thirsday. Decent testosterone/special-effects movie.

Then I contracted Pneumonia and got stuck in bed for 4 days with constant fever, feeding on antibiotics, painkillers and fever reducers all the while having illusions of rouge metal robots forming everywhere and premiere screenings of movies on the walls.

So... Yeah.

anyone know if there is an official term for stuff like the shadows found common in GBA games that are solid black circles (etc) that flash on and off every frame so they appear 50% transparent?

just curious

edit-
Finally finished Echoes.. man the final boss took me a long time to figure out, the first boss wasn't too hard, but the next boss took me ages to catch on...
good game, glad I played it :)
finished with 80% scan and 80% items btw

If there isn't, I now dub them "blink shadows".

Ah crap, I need to get money due to Gears of War is gonna be on the PC, I have a steam account wandering around somewhere too, aswell as a bunch of other PC games, but my current one sucks. I'll probably do a custom build, since it'd be cheapest, any suggestions on what I should get thats powerful but cheap aswell?

Just hooked up my amiga 500 now that I have some extra space. Used an old portable black and white TV as a monitor. Too bad it doesn't have audio-in.



Fun!

Have you ever tried to plug Amiga to a wide screen TV? Gives a nice extra boost to the old game graphics.  ^__^

Jad counters!

Jad suggests: "Flicker Transparency"!

Combo-attack!!

Jad suggests: "Flicker Shadows" for when Flicker Transparency is used for shadows.
