I'm not really sure 2009 deserves a top movies of the year cataegory. Some years are just pretty average.

Watchmen was alright I suppose.

If there was a top intro sequences of 2009 for me it would be Wolverine (shame about the rest of the film and the shrek claws) and Watchmen.

That's pretty faaabulous, but I couldn't suggest a decent alternative. These awards are just industry circlejerks anyway, so I never care about the results. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) is an organization composed of journalists who cover the United States film industry, but are a...

It's just advice. I make a lot of content for many devices. I tend to notice artifacts rocking up too much under 1.5Mbps depending on the source. With things like phone devices it's pretty important to hit a sweet spot between watchable and can play on lots of devices. 1.5Mbps will play on an iphone...

Considering the film cost $240 million ish to make and has already grossed almost $1.5 billion, I can see the studios disagreeing with you there. Rightly or wrongly, stick a big name and a shitload of fancy new effects on a film, and the story is rendered almost moot as far as cash is concerned, an...

320x240 will look like poop. Iphone encoding settings: 1.5 mbps 640 x 480 (360 if wide screen) h.264 codec 48khz stereo audio That will work. Can go up to 2.5 mbps but 1.5 is generally enough anyway. You probably want to do two passes, better downscaling, no interlacing, progressive/square pixels as...

Should do!

Just takes longer to strip the paint. Though I'd be more inclined to be a bit more careful with the plastics. I wouldn't leave a plastic figure in brake fluid or spirits over night.

It will dissolve glue on a short term basis, and probably your figure if you did it for far too long.

Do any painters have a good technique for removing paint from figures? I've had reasonable success with Dettol, but it's not entirely effective. Methylated spirits. Leave the figure in a ice cream tainer or such like for a few hours, no more paint. It might keep some bits of residue from the meths ...

I've never actually got Handbrake to work, but I'm told it's highly recommended. Xvid4PSP is now only unofficially supported, but has proved very able in my experience. MediaCoder was quite good too. I'm not sure why all video encoders seem to be awfully skinned. It's not that all video encoders ar...

Your mum jokes are distinctly different from 'your mom' jokes which are the inferior American product.

They're starting to bring out TVs and suchlike that do the whole polarized felcher thing ... But to be honest I think stereoscopic stuff is all a bit gimmicky. There's ways of loading 3D drivers for directX games. No one really uses it. 3D content is also reliant on knowing the size of the screen yo...

I agree that The Matrix is an influential film, and a good film, but it's still what it is because of the action rather than the plot. The fact that it's an action film with a plot is a mini-feat in itself; same with the fact it warrants more than one watching. If your main complaint is that it is ...

The Matrix was a mega important movie and a turning point in Western cinema. I think people are missing the point about the use of effects in the movie. No it wasn't the first to use a difference or chroma key ... In fact you might be surprised that the first difference key was using in BEN HUR in t...

I don't really think 5punk is the best forum or demographic to judge the film Titanic. >.<

Is a bit like judging a strip tease in a church.

Anyone found a better strategy than picking the most bashy team and ignoring the ball yet?

I managed to make a good wood elf team that could do aweso one turn touchdowns and such like but then I had a few bad dice rolls and they all got deaded.

It'll be like when Aion came out ...

I could play WAR and CO without having to put up with trash talking teenagers and 'your mom' jokes.

Why they always picking on the Klingons?

I keep playing MMOs. Am not sure why. Am pretty sure I hate them.

Hiyas,

I don't play shartak any more/the CP is gone. Maybe cos you kicked me out of the 5punk group

No not really, just keep getting new work and stuff to do. Life is pretty awesome.

Anyone else find that multiplayer COD4 on 360 is easier than PC?

significant additions to the AI My favourite addition in the last TW game was the one that made the puter players march up and down in random directions while you filled them full of arrows. The siege tactics the AI used are awesome too ... the whole ... stand there and die ... it really caught me ...

The NDA thingo has been lifted pretty much.

Videos can be provided and things but we probably already know this.

It is banned where I am at the moment.

Send et to me?
