I spent a good 10 minutes in photoshop making this so I think it deserves to be seen by a larger audience:

You know if it was Girl with the Panzer Dragoon Tattoo Retr0 might spill his seed then and there... but this, this'll just piss him off!

That is really cool!

If I was too offer a suggestion It would be to make the red on her face less pale, and make it richer or more realistically like blood or something, so it blends in with the left side of her face better.

If that makes any sense!

I think the layer covering the right hand side of her face, uses too much transparency to make it blend in.

I do not have a clue what your intent with this pic is,
but for some selfish reason I would love to see improved for my own enjoyment!

Not even sure why I'm suggesting it tbh! Just think it looks cool!

Doge · 13-01-2012 4:30pm

But if I tilt my laptop screen forward..... there's an immediate improvement! lol

Cheapo laptop screens have a habit of making things look pale, even though I have the brightness at about 15%

Doge · 13-01-2012 4:35pm

Oh and btw, just realized you spent a "good 10 minutes" making it.

Well if you made it in such little time, you've got some serious skills.

Would love to see what you could do in a "good 60 minutes!"

DinoRex · 13-01-2012 4:47pm

Well there wasn't much to do with it. I just trimmed the Legend of Dragoon poster down to layer over the Girl with the Dragon too poster with the main intent of making fun of Retr0.

I used to be a graphic designer many years ago. I designed catalogs for Arrow Hardware and Expert Electrical.

I'd often get bored and I'd drop images of monkeys into any television sets.

johnny_ultimate · 13-01-2012 5:08pm

I'd say retr0 is very disappointed that the RAGE just sold their new arrival of Superman 64, with the promise that they'll give a 75% rebate if the poor soul completes it.

You should definitely put out more creations if that's the case!

I saw that, then I also saw that it's going for 8-9 euro shipped on ebay unboxed. Think I'll just get it from there next dole day.

All you people with jobs, your tax is paying me to buy Superman 64 :P

DinoRex · 13-01-2012 5:41pm

Pretty sure I've seen it for sale in there for €10. So they're not breaking their backs on the reward for completing it.

Isn't there supposed to be a trick to completing the flying sections? You have to keep in mind that Superman handles more like a tank in it than how you'd expect a flying man to handle.

And yet that is still a far more sensible investment than Anglo Irish Bank.

Agreed. Have it in the car so I listen to it a bit too often.

Professey Chin · 14-01-2012 7:34pm

The US Netflix has the Super Mario Bros Super Show :pac:

o1s1n · 14-01-2012 8:07pm

Is there any way of accessing US Netflix content other than signing up for something like unblock-us?

Dunno. I signed up for unblock-us to take a look.
Worth it!

Optimus Prime · 14-01-2012 8:16pm

I had a look earlier, at the Irish one. The selection is pathetic, even on the free trial theres not one film on there that made me watch it.

o1s1n · 14-01-2012 8:18pm

Robocop is there. You failed

haha, dont get me wrong theres good films on there.. but ive seen them all a million times.

johnny_ultimate · 14-01-2012 8:23pm

Arrested Development HD makes it all worthwhile :P

But I think there's a pretty solid selection of films to start of. A lot of great films that may not be very high profile but are still well worth a watch. I know there's a good few I want to get around to over the next few months - although their ridiculously poor browsing interface does its best to hide everything worthwhile! Still, it has most of the Tartan back catalogue - Battle Royale, When the Last Sword is Drawn, Twilight Samurai, Oldboy etc... - which is cool.

Oh, and if anyone hasn't seen the glorious Dogtooth yet, make sure you do

DinoRex · 14-01-2012 8:39pm

They have Teen Witch... it's like Teen Wolf except with a witch:

I believe you just need a US IP to access the service, once it's authenticated you can play it over your normal IP. I have a pretty good VPN so haven't tried it myself.

blag · 14-01-2012 8:46pm

Being in the north I have Netflix Uk but afaik it's exactly the same as the Irish selection. Watched Tokyo Gore Police the other night, good silly fun :pac:

Steve X2 · 14-01-2012 11:21pm

Just tried that unblock-us thing for netflix.

I set it up on my iPad as I didn't want to mess with my pc setup as I'm using it for stuff that is very network dependent. Works great on the iPad and you can play a movie or show on it and also play stuff from your Irish Netflix account on the pc at the same time if thats your thing.

Edit:
I ended up using this free software to switch network settings quickly on win7.

Now I just need to find some free us dns option as I don't fancy paying another monthly fee just to use unblock-us dns.

Any Battlestar Galactia fans here? You need to see the new episode of Portlandia (season 2 episode 2) It's stupidly funny.

Professey Chin · 15-01-2012 12:37am

I only found out this week that Portlandia stars Carrie Brownstein, who is one of the members of one of my favourite bands Sleater Kinney (and the excellent Wild Flag, too). Had no idea she moonlighted as the creator of a niche sketch comedy show about Portland.

There are always tonnes of musicians as guest stars too.

The episode where Amiee Mann was their cleaner was brilliant.

And Eddie Vedder was in it last night.

But the Battlestar stuff is really funny, especially the surprise of where it ends up.

No need to convince me, I was sold as soon as I heard CB was involved :pac: Definitely up there with my favourite lesbian riot grrrl musicians / journalists / comedians.

Meeting her ex-bandmate / romantic partner (who is now oddly married to Lance Bangs, aka that weird grey haired guy who shows up on Jackass every so often) Corin Tucker in Tokyo made my 2010. True, I was on my way to her gig, but being the only native English speaker nearby is always a good way to start up conversation with a favourite celebrity.

Sorry, one of those moments where two things just clicked.
