Hm yeah, i'm posting here once more 
It's been a while, i would update my PS3 games list, but i'd have to go copy paste the old one and add quite some games. I'm lazy 
Either way, good news everyone! I heard that the blogs may be un-broken soon

Meh i thought i'd write another post here it's been a while.
I've definitely been more active since my last post and am hoping to keep it up too.
I've made some new group icons (and sigs to match them) which was awesome since i hadn't used photoshop in a while now.
I like them, the design was mostly william's idea, but i tweaked it to my liking, since i felt some things weren't completely right.
Recently i've been playing a lot on my PS3. Got some new games. Army of Two is awesome and so is Dragonball Z: burst limit, although the latter is a bit short. Almost like they only finished half of the game and decided to release it anyway.
Here's my current collection of games for PS3:
- Motorstorm
- Warhawk
- Resistance: Fall of Men
- GTA IV
- Burnout Paradise
- Gran Turismo V: Prologue
- Army of Two
- DBZ: Burst Limit
- Assasin's Creed
- Need For Speed ProStreet
And i've completed all of them at least once
Also ,in the playstation store there's a free download of a few level of Super Rub'a'Dub. A game with badtubs, ducks and sharks. It's really funny you have to use the SIXAXIS controls to move the bath and get the big duck to collect the smaller ones avoiding sharks and falling out of the bath
Righty now i'm giving NFSPS a second go, and i'm also playing the old NFS Underground 2, because that's still my favorite game in the series.
Long time no activity

Yeah, guess what, John Lennon was right.
Life IS what happens to you while you're making other plans.
The last year i've experienced a major cutback in my online time. Well actually i'm online more often at school but not active, just surfing the web reading all kinds of articles and stuff. Combine that with my activities at the youth house and bang, no more time to skin wlm, photoshop or even post on the forums.
Believe me i want to but i just don't have time/motivation to turn on my pc in the evening.
And those days i do get my pc on are like today, i spend half of my day reading news on places where i have been active over the years and when i do feel like doing some other things i realise that i have about time to write a quick post (here or usually around the staff lounge and area 51) before i have to head of to a meeting of some sort, in this case at the youth house.
Anyway i hope to be able to pass by here more frequently in the future.

Empty bars and what to do in them...
Posted by crank, Feb 1 2008, 02:41 PM in Real Life
Last night i was, as usual for most evenings, in the youth house (for the people who know Dutch: http://www.nijdrop.be/).
I was actually keeping the place open for the evening and well, the place was empty. Not even a single of the regular clients came by. I basically spent 5 hours in an empty bar.
There was a singing course going on so i couldn't just close the bar. The course was given by Sean Dhondt who is actually quite famous in Belgium from his band Nailpin and presenting on TMF (MTV ).
So he was there, his 'students' which left right after their sessions (except for one who brought 2 friends but those left when her session was over as well). I got one of my friends to come over which resulted in a couple of games of darts (i was playing against myself before he arrived) and some table football.
I drank more myself than i sold and as most of you already figured out that's not good for profits
And on a side-note: let's all go home.
NO MORE EXAMS!!!!!!!111111oneoneonehundredandeleven

Yay! No more exams for me for a couple of months!
I'm not gonna say a lot here because i am trying to get my old skinning skillz back alive 
But i did have fun randomly heading outside today and heading to a friend who i convinced in joining me on random walking. In the end we met another friend who was coming back from school (it's funny really, he's in high school but 2 years older than me and i'm in college) and we walked back home since he lives like 200 metres from me and the first friend.
Um... yeah 
SimpliCity

Made a concept for a WLM skin: SimpliCity
Opinions?
Btw, the result of the poll will basically determine whether i'll make it or not. it's a lot of work and i like it but without propper motivation i'll prolly give up halfway.
Messenger Skinning Community
Posted by crank, Jan 22 2008, 10:28 AM in Graphics
I've been talking to some people lately, some of them i haven't talked to since 2004.
And with all this talking i ran into some great news. I heard some rumours first, so i started talking to ipab.
Ipab was a real innovator back in the 6.x - 7.x days and he's still one of the leading persons in the skinning community.
So i talked to him. About design evolved mostly. It's a new website/community ipab, shayne and willz are starting. And that's where the facts came in
I found out quite some cool things i'm not going to tell but i am gonna tell this: messenger skinning is going active again.
Why would i care about this? Let me explain you about Mad Skinning.
Mad Skinning was a small community around a few people (back in the days when Messenger Mad was at it's peak). It started out with Ipab, The Don (now Banky) and me. Some other skinners joined us etc, but by those days updates for the messenger client came almost daily and it was nearly impossible to keep up. So Mad Skinning started falling apart and eventually died.
One of the bigger contributions of Mad Skinning was the installer method developed by Ipab (and me but he did most of the work) which Jaymach (aka the Skin Collector) used to mass release skins by various authors. These installers were down to about 30% of the size usual installers were and a lot of skinners went to Jaymach for an installer. This led to huge popularity of skins. The fact that the installer worked on multiple builds of MSN instead of just one really boosted the compatibility and caused skinners to have more time to work on updates. Why it worked on multiple versions has a lot to do with the fact that it only contained and replaced the files changed by the skin instead of the whole exe. Which also explains the small size Actually installers used by the few skins that got released recently worked using the same methods.
Right now a lot of those people who used to be a part of mad skinning and other skinning groups are considering to become active again. Mostly because of MsgPlus! Live which has brought support for skins to a whole new level. And because of Design Evolved.
So keep an eye out for those words. Design Evolved is going to be pretty huge
PS: I kept this short. Believe me. The history of Mad Skinning and skinning in general is really really long.
