Eva you are not alone

I was curious about what is different between this new adaptation of Eva and the original series. From the online trailer it doesn’t look like much except that the animation is spruced up abit more amd that the story line has been compressed.

:love:31 ways to make a girl smile:love:

:love:31 ways to make a girl smile:love:
1. Don’t hug her friends or your friends that are girls cause she’ll feel left out
2. Hold her hand at any moment . . . even if it’s just for a second.
3. Hug her from behind
4. Leave her voice messages to wake up.
5. Wrestle with her
6. Don’t go hang out with your ex when shes not with you, you might not realize how badly it hurts her.
7. If you’re talking to another girl, when you’re done talking, walk over and hug her and kiss her…. let her know she’s yours and they aren’t.
8. Write her notes or call her just to say "hi"..and not just at night after you’ve already been out with other girls.
9. Introduce her to your friends . . . as your girlfriend.
10. Play with her hair.
11. Pick her up
12. Get upset if another guy touches her and she doesn’t like it.
13. Make her laugh, if you can make her laugh, you can make her do anything.
14. Let her fall asleep in your arms.
15. If she’s mad at you, kiss her.
16. If you care about her, then tell her
17. Every guy should give their girl 3 things: a stuffed animal(she’ll hug it every time she goes to sleep), jewelry (she’ll treasure it forever), and one of his t-shirts (she’ll most likely wear it to bed).
18. Treat her the same around your friends as you do when you’re alone.
19. Look her in the eyes and smile.
20. Hang out with her on weekends
21. Kiss her in the rain
22. Kiss her just for the heck of it
23. If your listening to music, let her listen too.
24. Remember her birthday and get her something, even if it’s simple and inexpensive, it came from YOU. it means all the world to HER. it’s the thought that counts.
25. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas, or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it, even if you don’t (it’ll make her happy.)
26. Always call her when you say you will, it may not seem like it, but it does hurt her and makes her think you don’t care so call even if you can only talk for a minute. Girls don’t necessarily have to have hour-long conversations every night but it’s nice for us to hear your voice even for a quick hello.
27. Give her what she wants
28. Recognize the small things . . . they usually mean the most.
29. Tell her she’s beautiful, she needs to know her striving is working.
30. Hang out with her whenever you are free and u should be free to hang with your girlfriend all the time
31. If u care about her…SHOW it!

How are designs for games done properly?

At school we’ve just started a game development project. We are individually designing everything and programming it all. But one thing has puzzled me.

My teacher first said that I had to draw 32×32 sprite on squared paper, which I immediately said that people aren’t square and a sprite that size is going to be tiny on screen. So I just decided I was going to draw it normally scan in it and use Illustrator - like I normally do.

Then, we are told to log off our computers. So that meant no references for things like body shapes and weapons ( I always use references for drawing). And THEN we aren’t even allowed to discuss ideas because that drawings wouldn’t be "original".

So he’s expecting me to create a game without any inspiration or motives, we haven’t even got ideas for the games…

How does the initial design process normally take place in a game? And I don’t see what’s wrong with using references…

Thanks for any replies,
Tom.

2010 Toyota Prius

Here’s a few mock-ups from the 2010 Prius program
http://www.carstyling.co.jp/read/191…r_standard.htm Jump to page 14.

Not much surprise here here. There was a wagon-like version proposed. I remember seeing a concept car that was similar.

Note the source of this link is Car Styling Magazine. It’s a very hard-to-find publication that covers the design development of several new cars in each issue. It’s one of the most fascinating publications I’ve ever read and I’m glad to see them finally online.

Aww! Poooer Pooer Putty Tat (Sylvester)

Hmmmm… This is what Sylvester Stallone had to say about his "new movie" Kambakth Ishq in an interview recently:

Quote:

…the idea that it deals with the subject that I like, which is about heart, about giving, the spirituality, its about the physical manifestation of love… because in the end, that’s really all that counts.
There’s been many many action films where people are just beating each other up… and you go ‘Who cares?’… but what it really is about, is something soulful [and] I’m interested in it[that]. That’s what this film is about


I feel sorry for him that Nadiawala pulled a fast ‘un on him. The bugger must have slipped in pages from the Sholay script. Pity Stallone didn’t realize that he was a marketing gimmick. Old age kickin’ in?

Also, what a sad advertisement of Indian Film Industry for the Hollywood Productions. And they had the misfortune of having to live with a disgrace known as Akshay Kumar in both their recent ventures.

I mean, look at the guy!
He makes the most pathetic of movies. He picks the worst of scripts. He openly admits that the movie is fit for the looniest. Then he makes the "brainless" plea. He admits that he cant even remember his lines. He thinks people didn’t go to watch Tasveer because it was a "logical" film.
OK! Is he dumb or is he dumb?

Its really frustrating, that these are the people and these are the scripts making the first impression at the Hollywood scale.

Q: Runtime Shared Lib & exclude classes

Hi all,

I’ve prepared a common library (.SWC ) that is included in my main application file ( main.swf ).

main.swf then loads other module .swf’s into its own current domain ( ApplicationDomain.currentDomain ) via Loader.

The module swf’s use one class ( as it’s base ) that is in the library .SWC. When I compile these swf’s the library does not get included in the module ( which is good…smaller footprint ). However, when I run the main.swf I’ll get a Verifiy Error: #1014 with the base class name. When a module swf is loaded, shouldn’t it use the base class in the SWC ( main.swf )?

Is it possible to achieve this?

Thanks for any help.

Yet Another Voice Game

Okay, there are few of these, but they’ve been going on for so long that I"m too scared to ask if I can join. lol. So I"m starting a new one.

Just another fun way to know your characters. I’m going to use this so I can get to know the characters in my secondary WIP better before I start writing.

So I guess we’ll do this script-like.

Example:

Rowan - (scowling at shoes) Prada is overrated.

Cash - (walks across the room and picks up his backpack) You’re to whiny.

Blah, blah, blah. You get it.

So, because I"m a loser, I’ll let someone else start!
