-finished my Eagle project, just need some signatures and a writeup and I'm sending it off for review! XD

I'm using their fonts and logos without their permission, I'm not in a position to complain.

I may do a Mercury Tracer front end on my Escort. But I might not. It's a good thing that I got some of the materials in case I decide to do it...but I just don't know whether I want to.

They released it on PSP!?
I bet it sucks, they make everything crappy on the PSP.
Homebrew ftw!

It's on my server, so technically it's my achievement generator.

It's some thing you need to be opted-in for on the MSG site. I don't recall. The survey has a session associated with it, so there isn't any way to take it without them sending it to you.

Adding a bones tool to flash

This is perfect for me. Its something that I've always wanted *tear*

edit: And animation presets! I must know when this is out
edit2: Now that I know of these new tools, I don't think I'll be doing any animating until this comes out...This just makes any work super duper easy.
edit3: you shouldn't have posted! Now that I'm aware my anticipation just went through the roof! AAaaaah!
edit4: It in action

They did indeed. It's actually really good for a PSP game. Of course the console version is way better, but that's true for almost any game like this. (Especially the Star Wars ones).

Idk wrote:The Confederate Battle Flag represents all Southern, and even Northern, Confederates regardless of race or religion and is the symbol of less government, less taxes, and the right of the people to govern themselves. It is flown in memory and honor of our Confederate ancestors and veterans who willingly shed their blood for Southern independence.

A Short History Lesson Just as the War for American Independence of 1776, the War for Southern Independence of 1861 was fought over "taxation without representation." The North was constantly trying to raise taxes on Southerners through high tariffs on imported goods in order to protect the inefficient big businesses in the North. These big businesses could not compete with manufactured goods from England and France with whom the South traded cotton. The South did not have factories and had to import most finished products. The Industrial Revolution allowed England and France to produce and ship across the Atlantic products that were cheaper than the products of Northern manufacturers. When Lincoln was elected President, he and the U.S. Congress immediately passed the Morrill Tariff (the highest import tax in U.S. history), more than doubling the import tax rate from 20% to 47%. This tax served to bankrupt many Southerners. Though the Southern states represented only about 30% of the U.S. population, they paid 80% of the tariffs collected. Oppressive taxes, denial of the states' rights to govern their states, and an unrepresentative federal government pushed the Southern states to legally withdraw from the Union. Since the Southerners had escaped the tax by withdrawing from the Union, the only way the North could collect this oppressive tax was to invade the Confederate States and force them at gunpoint back into the Union. It was to collect this import tax to satisfy his Northern industrialist supporters that Abraham Lincoln invaded our South. Slavery was not the issue. Lincoln's war cost the lives of 600,000 Americans. The truth about the Confederate Flag is that it has nothing to do with racism or hate. The Civil War was not fought over slavery or racism.

How awesome is that!?!?
Makes me happy!
I can haz pride?
Also, if you want to use my avatar, I'd be happy to see it on others' profile!

The Announcement of CS4 made me very happy.
I had actually forgotten I had registrated to watch the launch broadcast. It was neat.^_^

And now for a bunch of other things in link-dump form.

Rumor: Splinter Cell gameplay and visuals have evolved
Canceled Ensemble title was Halo MMO
"IGN: When Master Chief is in stasis at the end of Halo 3, does he grow a beard?
Jarrard: Hair growth and cellular activity does continue while in cryo sleep but at a dramatically reduced rate."
Blu-Ray hits the skids, numbers continue to decline
Obama-Biden top very scientific voter poll on Xbox Live

Oh..and No ESPN ( :sadface: ) but I did meet some ol' hall-a-fame "Pig skin football stars", a well as "Black and White" football stars. And I took their picture and shook their hands and had a jolly 'ol time. ^_^ Oh and I dazzled the Professional, but I shall only go into detail if asked. ( Oh and he owns a Night Club and a Really Nice Restaurant. Ha HA! Win! XD. I have Instant VIP access to those places now. Very good thing to have for later on in Life... Yes?

) Oh and thus far I like Halo 3's #2 Update. Happy Happy Happy.

GametagAeonFlux · Post by **GametagAeonFlux** » Wed Sep 24, 2008 6:57 am

The concept art makes me think the Halo MMO would have been pretty awesome, but then I realize it'd most likely be a typical slow/boring MMORPG grind fest. If it was an action/real time combat RPG, that would have been fantastic.

Wasn't sure where to post this but Veegie's MC picture on xbox360fanboy.com bla bla.
