After months of work, chanelqueen17 has created a gorgeous scene of Alice and Oz from Pandora Hearts, using scans that didn't even feature both characters together. Even after spending so much time on matching the details of the characters to their new looks, chanelqueen17 didn't stop there and went all out on the background too! This wallpaper definitely needs to be seen!

Browser based bug

"Yeah, every other browser I have used doesn't seem to have a problem downloading larger scans (other than IE that is, but thats to be expected). Thanks for checking on this though, like I said I'll just use Firefox to download scans instead.

Chrome is the fastest browser by far but I have noticed a few bugs here and there just happy to hear it isn't a problem with AP or me myself."

Browser based bug

6 months 3 weeks ago

"I do understand that this site was designed for use with Firefox. I just though it might be a good idea to bring it to others attention before they tried downloading scans in this category. I did file a bug report with Google but I don't know if that will do a lot of good. Here are a few links were this has happened.

Like I said before it only seems to be present in the larger size scans, so I don't think you could fix it either it must be a programing script in chrome itself. Seems like a dumb move on an otherwise impressive browser. Anyway thanks for you help, I'll use Firefox to download scans from AP instead.

Browser based bug

"I started trying out chrome since I wanted to see it capabilities being a web designer. I started to notice that large sized scans do not load when downloaded. Basically it looks like anything 8000 pixels or up loads as a broken link, even when using the "click here if this image does not load". I have tried clearing my cache numerous times and check all settings.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it is a problem with the website or the browser itself. Thanks."

Browsing Web 3.0 Style

"I don't see what is so special about this they are just using flash player. The next new thing is going to be CSS animation to draw away from the dependency on flash player. So instead of static websites like you put it we may soon start to see more advanced UI website designs. While possible with flash it takes a heavy toll on bandwidth and sometimes a hell of a long time to load. But with CSS animation it would be more instantaneous and a lot more practical."

Microsoft to release six versions of Windows 7

9 months 2 weeks ago

"I'm currently running vista on my PC and the only reason for that is because I couldn't find a Mac of equal performance hardware wise. Microsoft is absolutely terrible when it comes to their operating systems. Why on earth would you need more than one version of your operating system? Mac is definitely more expensive but their operating systems are more uniform, functional, and most important don't come if several different flavors. When it comes down to getting a new operating system I'm definitely going for Mac no matter the cost. Windows 7 just seems to be piggy backing on vista and a fix to vista that we should not have to pay for. "

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

11 months 3 weeks ago

"Well after about two weeks of playing this I have to say that I am very disappointed. Sure the story if terrific and the graphics are nicely rendered but the game play is poorly put together. I couldn't stand the amount of glitches in it so I decided to sell, only got $30 for my $60 purchase. Definitely didn't live up to it reputation and all that hype was just a sales booster. After selling I noticed the download content on the PSN and when I seen the price I laughed. With such a sour experience you think they would have given the customer something extra to make up for it.

I'll never buy a game again without first reading reviews after this!

Dead Space

1 year 3 weeks ago

"I was skeptical about this game from reading mixed reviews by both critics and readers. However, to my surprise this game lived up totally to all the hype, unlike Star Wars Force Unleashed. I’ve played many sci-fi horror games in the past and not one of them even game me a shiver. However, this for the first chapter of the game had my hairs on end and my heart pounding; particularly when you don’t have any weapons and have to run from the monsters, after some time the illusion seems to fade and you expect things more and are not as easily startled.

The guns seem to be well balanced but it seems as though I am always running short even when I only use a few shots to take off just limbs. Melee attacks are seemingly useless unless you combine them with the stasis module. Kinesis is a little strange for a game like this and isn’t used for much other than moving obstacles or solving puzzles, even if you throw an item it doesn’t do much damage to an enemy.

The graphics looked awesome though it may not be as great as I think since most of the screen is usually just dark shadows. When I play though I only get a 720p signal when it says 1080p on the back of the case, has anyone else noticed this or know maybe why this is happening?

I don't really do any combos. I just whip them around with the force. It's fun with mashing the enemies. And I love how they made the light saber customizable. Oh and the costumes too. Does the PS3 and Xbox versions have costumes? I've only played the PSP version of it. (XD) emoticon


Yes both the PS3 and the Xbox has costumes as well, the thing that they lack are the multiplayer which I find very disappointing.

After playing for a couple of weeks I find the game is a very fun little fling and that is about it. One major drawback of buying this game is that the replaying it serves no purpose, one play through and there is little reason to replay, no online or multiplayer equals rent. This game must have been rushed because when playing I notice a lot of bugs and slowdowns allover, button controls are slow to react as well.

Anyone else who purchased it thinking about selling now?

My guess is because portable consoles are selling strongly and have kept up with consoles. Anyway the PSP is quite a powerfull console. A lot of games looks jsut as good or better than many PS2 games. Dissidia looks great.


I know that the PSP is on level with the PS2 but if I wanted that I would not have purchased a PS3. I was referring more to the games on the DS and even when so are released for mobile phones and iPod. I rather like the PSP and was considering buying one except I wouldn't have much use for it since I'm not traveling a lot. Unless I played it while I'm driving, though that doesn't sound safe does it. When I have free time I am at home and I would rather play on a 40" TV than a little 6" screen. "

Problem downloading scan

1 year 1 month ago

"Despite this thread I also tried it and it failed on me as well. I even tried the "if image doesn't load click here" and I got nothing. Now that I think about it the image size 10001 X 10001 seemed strange not only because of how large it was but also because the image height and width were exactly the same and no scanner would give you those proportions.

Edit
I did get the image to download successfully, it did take a good five minutes even with my broadband internet connection but after clicking on the image load link it did finally worked. "

Kindom Hearts lll

"Disappointed by there decision to make the three new games, mostly because of the move to portable game systems. I don't especially hate portable systems but I don't think that they should be the major focus of large gaming industries like Square Enix, and even more so with such popular franchises like Kingdom Hearts. Portable games should be a side project at best. I have been waiting for KH3 forever, but hopefully the even longer wait should result in better game play & graphics. Its most likely it will be a PS3 exclusive and by then developers should be all together with utilizing the PS3's full potential.

As for the secret endings and beautiful teaser trailers that are put out by Square, they always seem to depict a move to a more serious storyline. However, they are always misleading.

At the moment I'm much more interested to see Square Enix's new project FF Xi Versus, though KH3 would be next in line. Hopefully it will focus around a new character; Sora is great but to played out.

Armored Core: For Answer

1 year 1 month ago

"Picked up ACFA from Best Buy last week for $60, not sure it was worth that price tag but none the less. I was hesitant because of the below average game play of AC4 but this spin-off doesn't disappoint. Combat is at a much higher pace than before with improved quick boost function, and the all new VOB.

The arms forts are in most cases challenging but there are a few that disappoint, many can be taken down with three or less laser blade attacks. However, forts like "Answerer" and "Spirit of Mother Will" you’re going to need strategy in order to win.

Online pay is amazing; taking on a mission with a friend can be a life saver especially when you get into hard mode that is if you can find anyone. There is no lag at all that I could notice, just the annoyance of not finding another player.

Disappointed on the publicity and that this game received, love to hear your thoughts and find some people who are actually playing this game.

Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm

"I'm interested to see how it will turn out, though I will most likely wait until it is reviewed to decide whether or not I will buy. I did download the demo; the game play sort of reminded me of Dragon Ball Z burst limit. I like the upgraded fluidness of the game play however when compared to previous installments. Graphics are incredible, hoped for full HD but 720p does not disappoint.

Some moves are rather cheap, and chained attacks with support character are in most cases unavoidable and devastating. The awakening mode is a nice touch, giving the opposing player a chance to turn the tide.

I most excited to see how the story mode turns out with the roaming interface of the Leaf village. Does anyone know the release date, I know it was October 15th but now I'm seeing November 4th.

OMG . GTA 4 TROPHIES confirmed.

1 year 1 month ago

"No, Sorry if I was misleading in any way. I was saying that most games won't release a patch to make them compatible with the PSN trophy system because they have their own built in one. Like Devil May Cry 4 has that unlocked things like "1000 enemies defeated" and Metal gear solid has the unlockable emblems.

It takes time and money to make these patches and most companies just are not willing to spend any. Perhaps if they released them into the PSN store and charged a small fee? I know that would suck for us but they would probably be more willing to do so if that were the case."

"Trophies are nice little way to advertise how good you are to other games but I don't find them all that necessary. I won't buy a game based on whether or not they have the feature. Though a patch to some games would be nice, a lot of them already have their own little trophy system built in, such as Devil May Cry 4, and Metal Gear Solid 4. So the trophies for GTA4 are out then?

As of now I don't have any trophies, I'm more interested in the PSN Home experience. "

Metal Gear Solid 5

"There will most likely be another Metal Gear Solid game. You don't just walk away from such a strong running franchise, especially if you can make some money. If another game were to happen it would be based of another character, much like what they had tried to do in Metal Gear Solid 2 with Jack (a.ka. Raiden). I wouldn't mind an online only version of MGS, I didn't play the one included with the fourth because of the stupid Konami Online ID.

I don't Kojima is in the right business though, don't get me wrong I loved MGS4 but I think he would do much better as a movie producer instead of a game producer. "

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

"Well I'm not surprised by the ratings that I have seen on websites, considering there are major bugs or flaws that seem to have been rushed through so they could release the game. The camera and targeting controls are very poor, rather than targeting an item or enemy based upon were the camera is, it works by the direction the player is facing. I love the art design of the game, beautiful and creative environments not like any other Star Wars game before. The boss battles sound watered down, and cheap combos seem to have to be used over and over again.

A major decision breaker for me though was the fact that the PS3/Xbox 360 versions have no multiplayer at all, which is strange considering they have the best online multiplayer systems to date.

Considerably disappointed in how this game turned out, all that hype and nothing. I think I'll maybe pickup armored core 4 answer instead or does anyone have a good reason for me to reconsider buying?

No offense to Wii owners, but I'm betting this game won't be that good on it. One of the big features about Force Unleashed is it's graphics and considering the controls, I'd imagine this would be a pain in the ass to play on the Wii. If there are two things I hate when a video game gets downgraded, it's dulled down graphics and horrible controls. Main reason why I never played a game on the Wii that came out on other systems. Of course, this is if they don't do a decent port.


Definitely, that was my first impression when I tested out the Wii. The controls are way to simplistic for me and leaves little skill or strategy to the user. For instance the tennis game that comes with it, all you basically have to do is swing and the rest is done for you. Hopefully they added a little more to Force Unleashed in regards to this. Graphics were another big breaking point for my decision not to buy a Wii, when there is an explosion I want to see and hear it in HD.

You are right about the force grip too, I forgot to point that out myself but when enemies are in you sights it does seem to generally throw objects in the general direction more often. The speed boost seemed a little insignificant I didn't really use it at all. The thing that I was impressed with the most was the AI, and the how enemies reacted and adapted to situations.

Are you a proud anime fan?

1 year 2 months ago

"I'm very open with my anime fascination, I won't try to hide or deny the fact that I watch it. A couple of my friends and my brothers think that anime is like pornography or some kind of perverted cartoon. My parent’s just think it’s a cartoon; My Dad though does refer to it as the cool kind of cartoon.

Now the only problem I have is finding a good TV station to watch anime on. I usually catch it on Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, and Sci-Fi (Mondays).

Does anyone know of any station that show lots of anime, preferably 24/7.

Well, it's obvious just a codename. It's also a fact the real name and the story of the main protagonist has already been revealed.


I haven’t really looked into the games plot/story. So I was just making an assumption. I’m pretty determined to get this game, but all the hype had me very hesitant. I’ve been disappointed before, namely Lost Planet, Dynasty Warriors Gundam, and Dragonball Z Burst Limit. Thanks for the link by the way it was very helpful in answering a lot of my question, usually I don’t like to read too much into the story before actually playing the game.

I’m interested to see just how they incorporate the motion control into the Wii version. Moreover how they handle lightsaber on lightsaber combat. I’m hoping they won’t abuse sequential butt timing scenes like so many other games, no skills required there.

Google Chrome Impression

"Well only used it for a hour or two, I believe it to just a answer for everyone who wants a speedy browser. Yes it is faster at rendering both HTML and JavaScript than any other browser right now. However, there are several security risks since it is till in its beta stage. Its lack of features is very disturbing to me as well. I loved the simple design, leaves a lot of open space for well web browsing.

I just hope Google sticks to web standards as much as possible, or as a web designer it will be just another programming nightmare.

"When if first saw the trailer for this new game last year I couldn't wait to play it. However, I think that in interviews and such they have overstepped their bounds. I seem to remember promises of throwing characters through walls and a lot of other insane force powers that were not in the demo. Perhaps they will bee in the full game, since I did notice the upgrade system.

The graphics are not as impressive as what you would expect from a next generation technology. I easily noticed the pixilated textures on Darth Vader. Both Vader and his apprentice look much more impressive in Soulcalibur IV. Game play was very mediocre, the force powers were great but like it was said the light saber combat was toned down a lot from pervious games.


ChaosNataku
To be honest, I'm a major story person when it comes to playing video games and the story doesn't seem to intrigue me. Honestly, Darth Vader's secret apprentice? Come on, that defies one of the Sith's oldest rules. But apparently that's been broken several thousand times since it was first declared by Darth Bane... Yeah, I'm a fan and a bit of a nerd... Aside from that, "Starkiller"? What? Come on, you gotta come up with a better name than THAT.


From playing the demo I think that Starkiller is just a codename that is being used. Hopefully we will learn his "real name" later in the game.

Overall I found the game to be pretty average, and as of yet it hasn't impressed me as much as games like MGS4, Soulcalibur IV, or COD4. I'll wait for more reviews after the games release before exhausting my wallet on the $60 price tag.
