Good post here about taking screenshots. Stuff thatis covered is how some old screenshots were hand drawn and about using emulators and how they mess up how the game was originally meant to look.

Have you got that link? Doesn't seem to be in your post. Sounds really interesting.

Those statistics must've skipped you.

You could always hold the 3DS upside down and use some sort of mirror device to invert the image back. Or wait until Nintendo release that peripheral too. :pac:

Makes sense now

Most of my favourite genius' are alcoholics

Anyone ever heard of the character 'Madonna' who was cut from the first Sonic game? Was meant to be Sonic's love interest. First I've heard of it

Stange that Yuji Naka was supposedly the one calling the shots on the Sonic character when he only had programming duties on the first game and no design input. Not sure I believe some of that article more likely it was Hirokazu Yasuhara or Naoto Oshima.

Either that or else the Furry/Bestiality angle of Sonic 2006 had been fermenting in Yuji Naka's mind for a long time.

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

ahs sure she'd whoo-are herself out to any oul game
..sure there was a Madonna in Vigilante in the arcades (think this was changed in the Worldwide version).
(I think its really just a weird Jap translation thing than anything else)

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.

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.
