Creativity / Ladios's Myspace Backgrounds.

« on: February 16, 2009, 03:18:13 PM »

So I have had this thing about Myspace backgrounds that they have to match whatever song I had. I eventually started making my own backgrounds in Paint.Net. They would usually take me 10-30 minutes a peice or whatever and would stay up anywhere from 5 days to a month. (The original pics are all in 800x600 size but these are resized for simplicity. I also put these in order for when I made them, as you can tell by the increasing complexity.)
























So yeah. thats all 12. The last is my previous background. Discuse. Critique, comments, confirmation, etc.

Also, current background:

Quite a fun game. I like playing as Bismark or Hannible or that celtic dude.
I only have the warlords expansion though, is the "beyond the sword" thing any good?
Discuse CIV IV here.

Off Topic / The real issues Obama is ignoring!

« on: February 15, 2009, 05:22:34 PM »

President Barak Obama has proved great so far, what with already planning the closure of Guantanamo bay, and already setting up several of economic and other various plans. Thats great and all, but he is not addressing the key issues! What about the Golden Brick!? He has done nothing in support of the monorails in space! And he is completely neglecting the Gay Pirate Factor! This is completely stupid! Common Obama! Step up to the plate here!

So I went to check my messages or whatever and I saw I had a message from "doug". I checked the guys profile and it was completely blank, no pictures or anything. It only said he is a 28 year old that lives in the same valley as me.

Doug: hey hows it going

Me: Who is this?

Doug: Doug from <valley name>

Me: forget off

I say that went quite nicely. :)


Also he signed off just now so yeah.

Suggestions & Requests / Cell Shading FX Paint Suggestion

« on: February 11, 2009, 01:13:57 AM »

I would like to suggest an FX paint that makes your bricks appear Cell Shaded. With the thick black outline and exagerated light/shadow effect to give it the kinda cartoony look.
I will try to find a picture to show what I am talking about.




I also understand that the hope that I can make a V11 suggestion is rather slim, but the idea is interesting enough

Heres kinda what I am talking about, stuffty quality aside (done in mission editor, reducing ambient lighting from the sun to 0)

General Discussion / Ladios's 18 point build rating system

« on: February 06, 2009, 09:21:13 PM »

As how good a build is is very subjective, I have decided to make a scale for which I can judge people on each factor. Though this is still subjective, at least it will probably have some chance in making my ratings at least relative to each other.

Creativity 0-3
Duplication/Macro 0-2
Complexity 0-3
Colour 0-3
Detail 0-2
Space Efficiency 0-1
Effort 0-2
Brick Efficiency 0-2


If you have any particular way you rate, please go ahead and post it here.

Clan Discussion / USB

« on: February 06, 2009, 09:05:49 PM »

United Soldiers of Blockland.
When the retail version of Blockland was released, Ladios was part of the clan SF. Unfortunately, the clan was not to carry on into retail. Ladios saw this gap as an oppertunity to create the first DM clan of retail Blockland. He also expanded this clan to include the creation of DM builds.
The clan grew to around 16 members but after a while it was plauged by inactivity and, as Ladios could not host a server, lacked a main server for the clan. Due to this, Ladios pulled the plug.
Now that Ladios can host servers once more, he has decided to restart USB.
One may choose to either post an application in the gallery (of a DM build, preferably) or to DM against a clan leader in a USB server.

As I have just re-opened the clan, there are not many official members yet.
I also don't give a forget that this topic doesn't look all fancy.

Members:
Ladios
Loz
CapTMeaT
-Tails-
Mario Fan 11
Marcem
ErMu
Josh
Obsidian
(old members invited to rejoin without re-testing or building another app)

Share what grinds your gears about Blockland or the Blockland forums....




You know what really pisses me off?
When you make a post and say something in small print for effect and then the friend after you increases the size to like 50 or some stuff.
