Pie™ Posted October 9, 2009 Posted October 9, 2009 Think I'm done with my Alphonse Mucha book rip. 140 pieces of work. 600+ photos. Over a month of time. Probably 40+ hours of work. A 1745 word long text document. And lot of time in Photoshop. Yay. This actually looks awesome, would you care to post some samples?

I'll be "distributing" this stuff soon, don't worry. In my opinion, there is a limit to how detailed the copies can be, because they're from a book, there is only so many pixels I can stretch them out to before the imperfections and color raster of the printing start to show.
Pie™ Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Awesome poster-art, would definitely be interested in seeing more.
BongoBob Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I've been working out with my Uncle and cousins every sunday for a little while, bench pressing, just because I was tired of being a big fat weak slob. Today I managed to do a single at 205, beating my previous best of 185 by 20 pounds. Woohoo strength gains \n/
MrWally Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 You definitely beat me. I'm not sure what my max is, but I don't think it's over 200. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's in the 180 region. I need to work on strength training.
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 I've been working out with my Uncle and cousins every sunday for a little while, bench pressing, just because I was tired of being a big fat weak slob. Today I managed to do a single at 205, beating my previous best of 185 by 20 pounds. Woohoo strength gains \n/ I maxed out benching like 320 in middle school/freshman year of high school when I played football, but I started lifting once a week maybe 3 weeks ago and I can only put up like 150 since my muscles aren't used to it. It's making me feel prematurely old :/ Make sure to do cardio too though, or you'll just turn into a big fat strong slob.
BongoBob Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Make sure to do cardio too though, or you'll just turn into a big fat strong slob. ^ This. I've also been walking around my neighborhood a bit. Hopefully this weekend though I'll be able to get one of the treadmills my uncle isn't using and pop it in my room \n/
MrWally Posted October 12, 2009 Posted October 12, 2009 Everything I've read says that unless you're an athlete training for a sport, cardio is all about intensity and not as much about time. When I run I typically do intervals--it feels much more satisfying than long distance. Nothing ever beats jumping rope when it comes to cardio, though.
acdcfanbill Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 YES Looks like you carved yourself off a big ole slab of awesomeness
Darth Groovy Posted October 13, 2009 Author Posted October 13, 2009 Got my free copy from Sony one day ahead of street date! Thanks Sony, you rock! Also got a copy of Gran Turismo for psp. Since I no longer have a psp, I traded that in and finally got a game that I have had my eye on for over a year now! Also paid off my reserve copy of: And since Aliens: Colonial Marines is not coming out until 2011....supposedly... I flipped that reserve to:
Pie™ Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 Looks like you carved yourself off a big ole slab of awesomeness Quite so, good job!
BongoBob Posted October 13, 2009 Posted October 13, 2009 After listening to it about 5 times in a row, I must ask this question. Why the f*** had I not heard Rime Of The Ancient Mariner before?

acdcfanbill Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 After listening to it about 5 times in a row, I must ask this question. Why the f*** had I not heard Rime Of The Ancient Mariner before? cause you're a heathen who never read Coleridge or listened to Powerslave before? Or at least the latter one for sure based on your post Maiden also has a song off Piece of Mind based on Dune called To Tame a Land which a lot of people seem to dislike but I think is pretty good.
BongoBob Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Well I had heard Aces High and 2 Minutes To Midnight before, but yes, I'm sorely lacking Maiden in my music library.
Pie™ Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 I had the pleasure of catching Maiden headlining Wacken last year. This was on their "Somewhere back in time"-tour, on which they played only 80s stuff. Beholding Rime Of The Ancient Mariner live together with 80000 metalheads was goddamn indescribable.
leXX Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Two iPhone games that have been occupying alot of my time lately... http://www.revolution.co.uk/i-bass.php?id=95 http://www.gameloft.co.uk/iphone-games/dungeon-hunter/
Pie™ Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Brütal Legend is released here tomorrow, so hopefully my flatmate will get it. Can't wait.
TiE23 Posted October 14, 2009 Posted October 14, 2009 Sold my stupid Wii after dealing with a stupid Canadian buyer (expensive shipping also pissed me off). Instead today sold my Wii to a dude in world famous Fargo, North Dakota. 10 minutes later I was $168 richer, an hour later I shipped the Wii at the local UPS store, another hour later I was $371.46 poorer... again. PS3 Slim ($300) 6ft HDMI cable ($10) Metal Gear Solid 4 ($20) Uncharted 1 ($28) and $13 shipping (Dammit Newegg, two days ago PS3 Slim shipping was free!) Now I only have $0.93 in my Paypal account. And the $30+ in eBay fees aren't going to go away, lol. Also, talking to UPS employee Austen about Call of Duty 4 and Xbox Live for 5 minutes was fun. He was surprised when I told him I wouldn't be selling my 360 like the Wii, cause "then the 50+ games I have won't work anymore". Told him to check out Battlefield and he was interested. Also, he gave me the box and packaging free of charge, saving me like $4. Oh, and also, I'm only going to play console exclusives on this thing. I'm still 360 based, no matter what.
DarthDie Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 Can't wait to pick up my copy! Same, hoping to go to Toys R Us and pick it up as they're having a buy 2 get the 3rd game free deal till the 17th ;o.
TiE23 Posted October 15, 2009 Posted October 15, 2009 It's supposed to be around 4-5 hours long.... enjoy! Edit: Same, hoping to go to Toys R Us and pick it up as they're having a buy 2 get the 3rd game free deal till the 17th ;o. I know, I know, but they had nothing at my Toys R Us. And I was looking for stuff to build my future PS3 library with. Oh well.
