Andrew: That's Mark you're talking about, not Philip! 

We miss you Don! Happy birthday man!

Here they are, my sons:



The first is my older son Dimitris, a couple of years ago, and the second is my second son, Kostas, 2 weeks ago (pretty much the same age as Dimitris in the first pictures)

I find that they look VERY MUCH alike!

Thanks guys!

big 3-0 is here now... 

Sorry limp for missing you birthday Happy birthday to you too. All the best mate

(Erin also had her birthday yesterday but at least I PMed her )

Now B.!

This is NOT nice!

What's that?!?!?! All blury and shity and Mordy beat you? Damn you!

(At least, I finally got an idea of how you look like... I just wish I had a better quality pic... but still...)

Tuomas: Finally! Your hairstyle is MUCH better now!

What Tuomas?

All I see in that pic is that blindly cute blonde girl!



dkh: I really like those pics mate. Wish I could take my piano and go out to play :p

THANK YOU limpfish! 

A fabulous ad:

(failing completely as an ad, I think, but great art (and music)).

But because I'm an extra nice guy, here is a direct link from the people who did the vfx, including subtitles:

It is quite shocking but works brilliantly (not as an ad, I will repeat that)

Ok!

I had some free time today and I decided that there were many great threads around here that shouldn't go to waste. Thus I visted the last 46 pages of the C&C forum and found all the threads that were worth something, in my opinion of course. Then I printed all pages to pdf files and I made zip files, to threads more than 1 page long.

I ended up with lots of interesting stuff. I can only assume that the creators of the threads and the people who contributed won't mind, since they did post in a public forum after all. If there is a problem, let me know and I'll delete the links...

Here goes then:

I hope everything is ok.

I thought to bring notice and not post in the tutorials thread. I will probably get progZmax to my back, but anyhow...

I will try my best to keep the links open for as long as possible (unless I stop my site or something which won't happen anytime soon).

Hope it will prove useful.

(After seeing these threads, ildu, progZmax, loominous, Darth Manarb, Helm and many others have risen to my mind quite a lot! )

EDIT: Links fixed, no spaces left! The link to Darth Manarb leads to the correct thread. Whoever has more threads to look (remember I went only up to page 46 or something), is most welcome to do so, and I'll add them to the first page. (or PM me with links and I'll make them into pdf and upload them).

Just keep in mind that the older you go, the more images don't work, due to upload restrictions and stuff...

Links inside the pdfs (in music threads for example), do work, if the file is still there...

Other than that ok

When on earth will this thread be moved to popular? It's about time I think... 8 pages???

anyways, I just heard this which is quite amazing, and deserves a listen. Playing the rif from Micahel Jackson all alone with your mouth... is something...

Chicky:

Certainly not bloody amazing video, but quite lovely MUSIC!

Thanks for introducing me.

hope you were not sarcastic! (If you were blame my classical background :p)

The oficial welomce to Jim:

Already everybody knows who you are, what you do, how your wife Sarah looks like (is that her name?), that you have a sister who is really cute and also cooks and has her own TV show!

Your radio station last night was playing some cool stuff...

This is the last comp.

Quite a few entries, all lovely.

A lot of people would like the colouring ball back I think. If I recall correctly the voting page, had a limit of 7 contest, so the colouring ball was left out.

I would also vote to start it again, although I never took part, and probably never (or very seldom) will... But I've never taken part in the Background blitz, and only once or twice in the sprite jam, but voted for them also.

Double post for a good reason:

May the war of the cutest baby begin:


Don't tell me you don't love him? Hey now that I think of it, maybe him and Emi could... you know... play together



PS. Manicmat did the gif for me. Thanks mate!

Hey!

Welcome!

Indeed a great first post. Hope to see your typings more (and btw, your music a little maybe )

You didn't break any forums rules, and you look lovely

Weird al suing everybody.

I found it hillarious!

I would love to publickly announce that Geoffkhan, otherwise known as little brother, is 20 today! At least in London, as I don't get along with world time issues.

Happy birthday Greg, and all the best!

PS: I'm still making good progress on my Adventure gaming projects.  Stay tuned.

Ouch... this could be a comment on my being late on the music :S ooops... I will deliver though. I promise.

As for the age, we're 10 years apart. That's not so bad, considering you're WAY more fit than me

Indeed

YAY!

Don!

Happy 39th birthday! All the best my friend
