Well first off the movies have to be a certain format, which is Realplayer .mov files. There happens to be TONS of game trailers, cutscenes, etc. at gametrailers.com in that format and they allow you to easily download almost all of them to your computer. Then what you do is open them in Adobe ImageReady and choose how much and what specific part of the video you want to use. Then it is just an issue of adding the stuff around the video and whatnot.

Sounds cool. Btw I really would love to get an avatar resized, but I've never done it before. Would it be very difficult, and what program is easy to use for something like that? Wow that sounds noobish compared to the things you do! ;D Edit: Nevermind this post, I tried using the pic again on the forum where it wouldn't let me use it last time... and it worked! It's the same as this one btw =)

Well for future reference..... My favorite program of all time is Adobe Photoshop, it is also the only one I have much experience with, but the reason I got it was that I had heard it was the BEST from tons and tons of sources. I've heard that a program called Gimp (which is free) is also very good but I haven't used it before. So if you want to get into things like what I do you'll need a similar program since they have all kinds of tools and effects that go with them. But for something really simple like resizing and image you can really use just about any program, heck you can even resize with Paint (which just in case you don't know is a default program in windows that can be found in the Accessories folder in the Start panel). Also if you want to have easy access to a number of images that you want to use on the web, like various avatars, sigs or even images you want to post in forums you can get a free image hosting account. My favorite is photobucket.com and they allow you to resize your images right there.

Ok. Hold up. Who made me an avatar and placed it in my avatar section? I didn't even know that was possible. I thought I had to be the one to change things like that.
Anyways, whoever did it - thanks. I actually used that picture of the guitar for a background, either on my desktop or my myspace, don't remember. So.... cool. Thanks.
Oh and by whoever I mean whomever and wolfe. k thx
One more thing, how long has it been there?

Haha I made it and added it to your profile yesterday morning You are right that most people can't alter your profile, but I can do EVERYTHING haha. The dumb green dinosaur was getting on my nerves, it was such a crappy graphic lol so I just HAD to do something about it. Glad you like it

Ok that makes me feel better that it's only been there a day. I thought maybe it had been there like a week and I just didn't notice.
I didn't mind the green dinosaur much, however I rarely look at my own posts since I wrote them.

Haha well it drove ME nuts! It wasn't the greatest drawing to begin with but it was also created to go with the default light proboard skin and so the background wasn't perfect.... it had some white left where it should have been transparent and it just annoyed the heck out of me lol. Well I thought about telling you but decided it would be more fun to see how long it would take you to notice it But just let me know if you'd rather have a different theme for an avatar or a new sig and I'd be happy to create anything you want. I am always looking for fun new photoshop projects to do

I could go for a new SIG. Andrew's is great and all, but I haven't played Tekken since my arcade closed down probably 4 years ago. Plus, WpC is no longer around - all signs point to needing a new one. You know me better than I do, I bet you could pick a better theme than me

ROFLOL!! Just in case you aren't messing with me (which you've been known to do ) Griff has this ongoing joke about Orange Tic-Tac candies being "mighty tasty". He has randomly inserted the comment "The orange ones are mighty tasty" throughout the entire forum and even spammed the heck out of a certain thread with this message. So as a gag sig....

Well, I was messing with you, and asking at the same time, hehe. Prefer to mix sarcasm with a question, keeps my posts down.
But it's a fun sig, would fit you nice Griff. Though I could kill the avatar. *cough*
