  My photoshop adventures

  I've recently added to my images by creating an album titled "Photoshop Works". Here you can find my artsy side at work with some cool wallpapers, some more information about my current banner, and my blog header's original picture and how I turned it from looking like a crappy scan into a fearsome and ridiculously awesome image (Although, at the time I didn't have the tools I have now nor the skill, so I'm probably going to go back soon and fix up the gun since it doesn't look perfect). So anyway, if you like my touch-ups and original works that I'll be creating and uploading every now and then, then feel free to ask me to work my magic and fix up a broken image of yours, and if I'm in the mood, create you an original picture!

  Here's a link to that album if you're lazy as hell.

  On a side note, I've updated my "About Me" information so you can get to know me a little better. Previously, I was acting secretive and withholding a lot of information, but at least now I have a short paragraph giving a peak into my life.

  [EDIT] - Okay, I fixed up his gun some more to look more clean and smooth. It should load as my current blog header soon.

  New Look

  Hey guys, I haven't been too active in the community for awhile. I've still been posting on the forums (mostly game specific - as in gamefaqs boards), however, aside from that I haven't been active in unions and the like, but make no mistake, I still come to the site almost every day and probably post on some boards here and there.

  Now then, onto what this post is really about. I've made a slight overhaul to my profile. Nothing too major, just a new user icon, profile image, a slight tweak of the visuals on my blog image, as well as a new banner which I made myself (No new sig). So unless you find these slight changes to look badass (which you probably will), it's just a little tweak to keep things fresh.

  Tell me what you think!

  P.S. If you're wondering how I got some of these pictures, I used a program called CaptureWiz Pro (Costs a little money to activate, but you could always do it the easy way) which can capture any image on the screen as well as a specific area of the picture in very high quality. I used this program to get that sweet new Light Yagami user icon (I did alter the image slightly to look more sinister; even though it's already pure evil), so if you're into photoshop and collecting images, that program's just what you need. Just search for it on Download.com.

  MGS4 - The first ten minutes.

  (Video may contain spoilers, although I don't think it will spoil anything at all if you watch it.)

  Here are my impressions

  The game plays very smoothly. The transition from cutscene to actual gameplay is astounding and I'm incredibly impressed by the game's graphics and that they were actually able to render this game in cutscene quality the whole time to make these beautiful transitions possible. Also, the animation of the characters and Gekkos makes them feel like they're actually real.

  The atmosphere of the game is clearly present even at the very start. Technology is advancing through the ages, and so is Snake. These new mini-metal gears are powerful and very intimidating, and it appears Snake will have a tough time in this new age of war.
