Gamecube vs. Wii U I believe the resolution is to scale between 640x480 and 1920x1080 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PFuEXqsW8Q Unreal, also, remember that Youtube cannot process frames beyond about 30 a second (nobody's really sure.) Remember that the final game will run at 60 FPS in addition to 1080p.

EDIT: Steady 30 FPS it seems

"You children don't understand. It is the prophecy, the legend." She says.
"What are you talking about?" Emzy asks.
"The spirit maiden, Zelda, is safe." She replies.
"How do you know?" Pipit says.
She grins, a little bit annoyed. "I helped her during the first part of the fated path. She is safe for now. Trust me."
We all turn around, forming a small circle.
"What do we do now?" Bryarly whispers.
Callia sighs. "I don't know. What is she talking about anyway?"

This is just a topic where you can post the videogames you're playing right now/on the go. =)

Hey guys.
So, unfortunately, my friend Erin is in a bit of a tough spot right now. Recently her Mom passed away and the situation isn't very good right now. 
 
A couple of my friends put together a donation page for a Memorial Service for Erin's Mom. Any donation, big or small, would really help!
 
http://www.gofundme.com/46j7h4
 
And if you are unable to donate or just can't consider it right now, would you mind then spreading the web page around a bit? 

its the bad theories megathread, lol.

It's pathetic how little I have to do now that I'm on campus. ffffuuuuuu
I'm rooming with a girl I don't know and she's got a completely different friend group. She's gone most of the time so I have the room to myself, but I'm so lonely. .___. I've literally only had 3-4 hours of social contact today.
Last year I had two roommates that I was really bro bro with, and I was going to room with one of them again but she transfered schools.
we used to do everything together mannnnn.


Hey guys, lemme hear your college/school woes as well.
/LETS SHARE FEELS

HOLYSHITHOLYSHIT HOLY SHIT!

Here's an example


What do you guys think of it? Have you used it at all? I have, it's really cool! I can get you to so many new places, and can sequence skip a lot like in this video. And you can do it right at the start of the game too, since all you have to do it jump off a cliff and die.

.

uhm... hi!
Just checking in... anybody around? Is there anybody who know me? XD

because nothing is greater than a well-meaning history major trying to help his engineering friends out with their homework. and general knuckle antics. (share any you have, too)
 
there are a bunch, and i suspect there will be a bunch more, but heres just the most recent:
 
[7:38:12 PM] Chimetals: gyaugh
[7:38:25 PM] Chimetals: i gotta do a block diagram AND a mechanical equivalent of a model
[7:38:35 PM] Chimetals: the block diagram is actually worse
[7:40:12 PM] Knuckle: oh, I'm good with blocks
[7:42:53 PM] Chimetals: https://wiki.engr.illinois.edu/download/attachments/227740809/Table_System_analogy_Sullivan.pdf?version=1&modificationDate=1377796504000
[7:43:43 PM] Chimetals: actually, that isnt even the block side of things
[7:44:18 PM] Chimetals: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_theory
there. that.
[7:47:42 PM] Knuckle: ...oh
[7:48:01 PM] Knuckle: I can't view the first link but the second is enough to discourage me
[7:53:28 PM] Chimetals: yeah its just
[7:53:29 PM] Chimetals: cruel
[7:54:05 PM] Chimetals:"Below is an electrical equivalent model of respiratory mechanics for the lung. Provide the mechanical equivalent of the model, labeling the physiological components and the control signals flowing through the block diagram."
[7:55:09 PM] *** Chimetals sent IMG_04092013_195509.png ***

[7:55:19 PM] Chimetals: and theres the puppying circuit horror
[7:57:55 PM] Knuckle: well if there's one thing I know about lungs its that you don't want holes in them
[7:58:09 PM] Knuckle: seeing those = marks at points
[7:58:26 PM] Knuckle: makes me think you want to patch those up with some duct tape before proceeding
[7:59:20 PM] Chimetals: duct tape = viable for implantation in humans
[7:59:33 PM] Chimetals: oh jeegus
[7:59:39 PM] Knuckle:
[7:59:41 PM] Chimetals: i just realized what you were talking about
[7:59:45 PM] Chimetals: puppy

happy birthday!

to the following celebrating:

Zoe Outton turning 17 "u go girl" "feliz cumplea

I realized that, despite that I'm an art major in my second year of college, I have only made one thread about a picture I did for my final last semester. I decided that, since I'm now taking three art classes instead of one, I might as well start taking pictures of things during my classes and posting them for you guys to see them.

The classes I'm taking this semester that involve me producing anything are Art 3D (A foundations class), Life Drawing, and Viscom Theory. Don't expect much from Viscom Theory.

Mind you, the last thread I did was a picture I did in colour, for about fifty hours in total work time. I'm probably not going to upload anything of that quality here, but rather the studies I do in between them. Midterms time isn't for another month or so.



This is a self portrait I started today, for my life drawing class (the one where you draw naked people). Normally we would have a naked model sit up on a stool and we'd all draw them, but ours didn't show up today. So instead we got a jump start on our homework and we all started on some semi reductive self portraits. This is the result of two hours of that. This is not a finished piece.

I didn't spend so much time worrying about shading and value as I did outlining everything in my face. I wanted to make sure I had the proportions right on everything before I started putting down anything particularly black or white, since those are both time consuming to make and remove, respectively. You have to be very careful when you put anything black down on a piece of paper. I also put some gestured lines in where my hair would be, and what the shapes were (they're undoubtedly different now, but I wanted the general idea). I didn't have the materials to work with any particularly detailed values, anyways. I had my charcoal pencil, but not my eraser stick. So The only value I really bothered with starting on was the neck. It was simple enough.

I should probably post a picture of what my face looks like in the position I'm working in, for your comparison. I'll do that later, though.

you are most welcome
and no birthdays today

It begins...
 

Welcome one and all to the inaugural post of Hyrule.net's chapter of "The Merry Marvel Marching Society". This thread is your one stop shop to discuss every one of Marvel's vast and varied Universes. From the original (616), to Ultimate (1610) and even the recent Cinematic Universe (19999).

No topic is off limits except for *shudder* DC comics. Take that crap somewhere else.

Legend University
 
 
Legend University is a unique fanfic idea I've had for years. It's a long-term project, probably stemming multiple books (my plan is to have 4 books; one for each year the hero is at the University). Along with the main story, it will feature multiple "Sidequests" which are basically stories that don't quite fit into the main story, but include important character development or plot elements. It's a rather different approach to a fanfic, but I'm sure you'll all get used to it. I only have a few sidequests written at the moment, so tell me what you think!
 
Sidequest: Rivals
 
            The breeze flowed through Len’s hair as Epona zipped along the plain of Hyrule Field, the scent of fresh, clean air flowing into his nostrils and the sound of birds chirping through the rush of wind put Len at peace. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment. He listened to the beating of his heart against his trusty steed’s, and thought of his escape: Legend University.
 
            Just a few short months and he would be away at school, away from the bullies, from the misunderstanding neighbors, from the curse of his rotten reputation. He would have a fresh start, a new chance to make a first impression. He could make new friends, have a new career, and finally prove himself as something more than just being “Bad Luck Len".
 
            But more than anything, Len feared he would somehow screw it all up. He never meant for bad things to happen, they just did. It wasn’t his fault that people had gotten hurt when he was around. Things just always seemed to happen around him.
 
            Len opened his eyes and rounded a corner, riding for at least another couple miles before pulling Epona’s reins, screeching her to a halt. In front of him stood a set a large, golden gates. The beautiful world around him seemed pale in comparison to these gates, towering over him with glowing omnipotence. Through the gates, he could see the campus, still busy despite the summer. Professors in long robes and pointed hats carried stacks of tomes hurriedly  across the courtyard. Warriors in bright, silver armor dragged swords and axes and spears into large, cathedral-like buildings. Students in both robes and armor and street clothes alike chattered as they walked to the cafeteria.
 
            It was his favorite spot. Len’s excitement grew as he approached the gates, gripping the cool, metal bars and peeking into his future. His teeth shone like a Rupee in a shopkeeper’s eyes. Just a few more months, he told himself; just a few more months, and you’ll be one of those armor-clad students, chatting with friends and learning all about what it takes to be a hero.
 
            With a beaming face, and a hero’s heart, he climbed back on his horse and rode for home.
 
            The sun was starting to set, and Len knew that his mother would worry if he stayed out much longer. As he raced for home, he became suddenly aware of another presence. Epona scampered to a stop as Len glanced around. There didn’t seem to be anybody else around, but still, something felt different. Len felt a pair of eyes burning into his skull. “Who’s there? Show yourself." Len managed to say confidently. He was scared stiff on the inside, but he wasn’t about to let that show. Heroes show no fear.
 
            Len glanced around again. There was nothing around for miles. Just grass, a few trees, and some bushes. Everything looked still and calm under the setting sun. Len turned back around and when he saw the man garbed in black, he nearly jumped. He wore long, loose-fitting black robes etched in deep purple, with a hood over his head, clothing his face in shadow. One thing was for certain, he was not there a moment ago. “Who are you? What business do you have with me?"
 
            The figure raised its head. Blonde strands of hair escaped the hood. It took a few paces forward, but remained silent. Len was extremely frightening by now, but he was determined not to let this hooded figure onto this. “I demand you tell me who you are."
 
            The man scoffed. “You’re barking commands now, little hero? I wouldn’t be so valiant if I were you." He lurched forward, and Len pulled back on Epona’s reins, dodging as the man charged at Len. A split second before he would have collided with the spot Len was riding, he shimmered and disappeared, reappearing twenty paces to the left, next to Len and Epona. The man raised his arm and, before Len could react, he was shot off Epona and on the ground. “Who are you?" Len coughed. “And what do you want with me?"
 
            The man blasted Epona and sent her off running before appearing before Len. He threw his hood back, revealing the attacker’s face. Spiked blonde hair flew out of the hood, and ice cold eyes glowered at Len. The man’s cheekbones were straight and solid, creating an air of elegancy about the man while imposing a disposition of strength and discipline. “I am Chase Banner, from the lands of Labrynna, and you, little man, are responsible for everything?"
 
            “What? Responsible for what?" Len coughed up some more dust.
 
            Chase raised his right hand, and the world seemed to grow darker around his palm. A flurry of dark violet and pitch blackness swirled around his hand into the form of a ball, and shot from his fingertips straight at Len, who rolled to his left and leapt from the ground, unsheathing his sword with his left hand. Chase chuckled. “Do you really think your puny sword is enough to stop my dark magic?"
 
            Chase shot another ball of magic from his fingertips, and Len dodged and swung at Chase, who disappeared moments before impact, and reappeared behind Len, firing another ball of dark energy into Len’s back. Len grunted and fell to his knees, only to recover by backflipping up over Chase and slicing his shoulder. Chase roared and disappeared again. Len looked furiously around him, finding that Chase had materialized a few yards to his left. He charged at the mage, who, still gripping his shoulder, slightly raised his wounded arm into a fist, and snapped his fingers outward at Len, and Len felt his limbs grow stiff and freeze in their position. Wincing, Chase discharged another magic ball at Len, breaking the grip the last spell had on him and sent him flying yards back. Len quickly scrambled to his feet only to find another ball of energy being shot at him, and he instinctively raised his sword to protect himself, and the magic shattered Len’s sword into a million tiny pieces.
 
            Chase warped further away from Len, breathing heavily. “You’re stronger than I anticipated. Perhaps we’ll meet again, Len Smith. I do look forward to it." And with that, he was gone.
 
            Len picked himself up off the ground and brushed the debris off his legs. His father would not be happy to find that he had broken the sword he had made him. But he would worry about that later; right now, Len only had a single thought going through his mind: he had to find Epona.
 
            But the sun was just about set, and his parents would be worried about him. Len silently cursed the fact that he hadn’t bothered asking for a cell phone from his parents. Epona was gone, at least for now. He wouldn’t rest until he had found her and returned her home safe and sound. But Epona would have to wait for another day. With a heavy sigh of discontent, Len trudged his way back home to face his parents.
 
[i suck at writing fight scenes I'm sorry! I always feel like I'm being redundant. Let me know what you think of the first installment! More coming soon!]
 

Welp, the games out. You can download it on the eShop if you want, its been there since midnight. I don't have my copy just yet, plan to get it physically. But if my internets up to it, and you ever want to play with me, add my code from Chase's FC topic and/or tell me you added me so I can add you back.

I hate the MOTHER F****** WATER TEMPLE IN OOT.

I get a key to go into a new room WOOT!!... TO FIND I NEED ANOTHER F****** KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

/rant

post your small rantlings here.

The 2002 Masters of the Universe and the 1908's series are both on Streaming Netflix.

A big chunk of my day involves standing by a door greeting people as they enter and saying bye as they leave. As such I have a lot of free time to sit and think up ideas for stories.

I thought I'd share a few here.

The Culper Ring:
I've tried to get this idea off the group multiple times but to no avail. It's based on a real spy ring started by George Washington during the American Revolution. The spies were citizens who lived in New York during the British occupation. In the story the Culper Ring wasn't disbanded and now serves as the Presidents personal Espionage service. The Agents are actually Celebrities from various fields (sports stars, actors, reality tv and news media). Celebrities can get into places even diplomats can't.

The Revolution:
In the year 2020, the United States is a dictatorship under the control of President Jessica Klein. As her armies enforce obedience, a group of Freedom fighters fights to return America to the people. They are joined by the mysterious Samuel, who knows more than he's letting on about the Government.

Noneday:
A teen orphan is sent to live with his estranged Great Uncle Felix. While exploring his Uncle's Labyrinthine Mansion the boy discovers a doorway that opens to a magical day hidden between sunday and monday called Noneday. While in Noneday the rest of the world is frozen and all types of mystical creatures run free. But a dark force seeks to harness the power of Noneday to return the most horrible of creatures to the waking world.

The Ultimate weapon:
Sabrina Mortez a young CIA analyst is reassigned to "The Hole" a secret underground base in Oklahoma where the most important Intelligence tool in America is held, a young 20something man named Ed. Ed is actually a clone of famous Psychic Edgar Cayce who actually died in 1990 at 113 (as opposed to 1945 as is reported). The government uses Ed's talents to fight terrorism on a global scale and prevent disaster. A deeper mystery involves his father's final visions which include Sabrina by name.

Lawman:
A morgue snafu sees fatally wounded Police Detective Topper Kane frozen in Cryo-Stasis for 30 years. He wakes in the year 2040 to a very different world. He uses his antiquated police skills to stop criminals in the future.

B.S.O (Bureau of the Strange and Obscure):
When cases involve the strange, the experts at the B.S.O are called in to handle it. Weather it's Aliens, Ghosts or Cryptids the B.S.O have you covered.

MegaCrime:
Five years after a mysterious event gave every one in ten people Super powers, the MegaCrime division of the NYPD handles both super criminals and superheroes in the city that never sleeps.

Guardian of the Multiverse:
A mental patient takes his Doctor on a tour of Parallel Quantum Realities. With each world they travel to, they use their collective knowledge and skill to change the lives of the inhabitants for the better. It's sort of a cross between "Quantum Leap" and "Sliders" with a bit of "Fringe" thrown in.

I'm not an AC fan at all, but i'm probably gonna get this since i have friends who want to play with me. The multiplayer intrigues me.
 
EDIT- just read through this thread and watched the videos. Getting a bit excited myself!

I don't wanna be a douche, and the more I talk, the more likely I'll come off as such. So I'll keep it short. 
 
This sucks. I didn't really know him, but he's Hnet. So. I mean, wow. This just sucks.
