no, But it can be used to alter how an object looks, but i've never been able to use a bump map image to make any hugh difference.

Well finished up Soul Eater anime. It seems to be a running fad for these Greats to end so poorly... The animation style was right up my street, the storyline was gripping, no ohh i love you an our love beams will kill all the enimies Bulls-

Thier was no gore since everything turned to a soul on death, but thier was violence, inocents masacred, betryeals, rivials -> DIVERSITY in chracters MADDNESS. Only a single lad with a catchphrase of sorts, and that was "i will surpass god" <- FAILED...

The best thing about it was the fact that it kept my attention. I didnt, rather couldnt draw while watching it, I think i only ever interupted a single episode and that was when i was waiting on a delivery to which i dumped the parcel and carried on watching it.

Then it had the big brass ones to drop a turd right in your face while you sit choking on your tounge in disbelief. The fight sceens leading up to the last what 1 minute? were unbelivable, truly worth the anticipation, last minute twists, Perfect if they had kept it up and ended their i would be so happy, id probably watch from start to finish again. But no, after using brute force, strong arm, buried power tactics right to the climax, then flopping at the end? I was more dissapointed than that time with your- Ahem on topic.

A god stands before you, enveloping the world is insanity through sheer power, he has, and only wants to share that with the world. <- Thats a undeserving breakdown that dosnt scratch the surface. So after fighting bare knuckles and blades you stand before him in all his unholy glory and deny his exsistance and purpose in life. Becasue of course! arguing Philosophy with a being that has no fear or inabitions and is awakening maddness in ever soul after been locked up for 800 hundred years by being skinned alive and tied in a bag his own skin, Of course you can be talked down for taking his revenge and rebirthing the world into his own truth.

But of course the little girl stood before the deflied god and used courage to bring him to his knees... What a load of Crap.

She made the god question himself and thus brought fear to his heart. You dont understand -> Your afraid was pretty much mind F all over the screen written in blood because the insane person was having a freaking nervous breakdown.

Now at this point, god freaks, back off and goes for a ranged attack of sorts but now your have your courage you dodge all of them and run at him with a post card from your mother that abandoned you to see the world, that has the word courage written in a different laungauge, Clentched in your fist and punch him knocking him back a little. Leading him to laugh and his head to pretty much explode.

After all that? That was your big finale?

What the hell is wrong with these people? Have they no shame? or at least, they could show a little backbone to pull a hail marry and leave it in the gritty battle scene were the hero takes her scythe and rams it through his third freakin eye. But no, its always a morale win, and that always leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

They need to look at Animes like the Afro samurai, He had a Baddass role, I don't think that you could beat it, I mean he kills thousands of people since hes wearing Number 2 headband, He kills his best childhood friend 3 freaking times and then kills his resurrected farther aswell. What more can you ask for?

euhh, Sleepy now, need time to process the rest of it.

Neverless i would still recommend Soul Eater, Did i menion it was made by Square Enix... Well that explains a little more right?

On a brighter (less wall of text-y ) note, I watched Avatar today. I have only two overly enthusiastic words to describe it.

HBRALFJLJHSFDVBLAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first one might not be a word, but it's pretty much the only thing I can think of to describe the magnitude of awesomeness this movie has passed on to me. And for those of you who only skim through the posts on this topic, this next sentence will sum up the other half of this post:




Avatar was a pretty good movie.

Nope, not in 3d. I believe I'll watch it again in 3d, though. It'll definitely be worth my time, I believe. I only have one theater remotely close to my home that could possibly have 3d capabilities, so I'm gonna give that a shot.

Half-nothing. Nothing is half, nothing is equal. Nothing is whole, because nothing is half. Nothing is half because nothing is two one quarter of anything, and nothing is nothing because nothing can exist inside of nothing. So even nothing is nothing! Ahh! *brain explodes*

I have absolutely no idea what I am going on about. Can you tell I'm tired?

Well I've started re-programming my level editor once more. I was thinking that I may drop the cheesy GIMP-made GUI and try out using some actual GUI functions...but in order to present my editor for NaGaCreMo I'll leave that for the final version.

So far all I've got done for the new version my editor (0.5b) is that the first time it runs it asks the user to enter the desired resolution and window size. The user inputs these values and the program writes it out to a Setup.INI file then closes (which is required). You run the program again, it loads the values from the file and hey presto!, custom window sizes. Booyah.

So I'm becoming very keen to the Barrett 50.cal on CoD4 and MW2. I use it constantly and no-scope people regularly. Very fun and I end up in the tops nearly every game. ACOG is started to grow on me, too. With a Barrett 50.cal -ACOG&FMJ- I pretty much got my long, medium, and close range game all set.

Yup.

Hehe. I hope it's a good lager! (Not that I know anything about beer; I'm only 18 and live in the US where the legal drinking age is 21. I just know there's a word "lager" that is somehow associated with beer.)

So a man walks into a bar, and he orders a beer.
After drinking nine beers and spending all the money in his wallet, he realizes his alcoholism is destroying his finances and his family.

So what if I talk to myself? Its the only way i can have an intelligent conversation around here.

I had instant regrets as soon as I woke up this morning and looked next to me... Every New Year. Damn it.

Quote: "Not that I know anything about beer; I'm only 18 and live in the US where the legal drinking age is 21."

Lager kind of loosely falls under the 'beer' category, even though technically beer is ales and suchlike. Nevertheless I'm astounded by the cultural differences - over here if you're not getting trashed in public by the age of 14 (legal age is 18) you're unusual

Quote: "So a man walks into a bar, and he orders a beer.

I like it. Brilliantly harsh.

Happy new year everyone
