  1. I was hoping someone could help me with this project. I'm wanting to make a graphic with two mirrors facing eachother, towards the center. I want to be able to put another graphic in between them and have it reflected into eternity between the two mirrors, I think it can be done. I just don't know how. ANY HELP would be appreciated. I use PhotoShop CS.
  2. EDIT: Nevermind, please close this.
  3. It was a pretty good flick, but don't buy the fact that it's "Based On a True Story". Because they use that term pretty loosley.
  4. A Tragic Case In November 1973, Anneliese Michel, a young student at the University of Wurzburg, West Germany, was taken by her parents to see the parish priest in her hometown of Klingenberg. She had developed some worrisome signs of abnormal behavior at the university - refusing to eat, flying into violent rages, screaming, and trying to attack those around her - and her parents were deeply concerned. In the priest’s view, Anneliese was possessed by demons, and he recommended a ritual exorcism. As Roman Catholic procedure requires, the case was investigated by a leading authority on exorcism and demonic possession, Father Adolf Rodewyk, an 81-year-old Jesuit. Father Rodewyk agreed with the priest’s diagnosis, and on his recommendation the regional bishop, Father Josef Stangl, gave permission for the exorcism to take place. The exorcists chosen for the task were the Reverend Arnold Renz and the Reverend Ernst Alt. By then Anneliese had been receiving medical treatment for epilepsy for four years. On July 1, 1976, after several months of exorcism, Anneliese died of malnutrition and dehydration at the age of 23. She weighed 70 pounds. On March 2, 1978, the two exorcists and Anneliese’s parents were charged with negligent homicide, on the grounds that they had allowed the young girl’s condition to deteriorate to the point of death without seeking medical help for her. Bishop Stangl and Father Rodewyk, who seem not to have known that medical help was being withheld, were not charged. In April 1978, the two priests were found guilty and were given suspended prison sentences of six months. For the Roman Catholic Church, the death of Anneliese Michel was a nightmare come true, demonstrating the dangers inherent in the ritual of exorcism and the murky distinctions between priestly and medical responsibility. In Father Rodewyk’s own handbook on possession and exorcism, originally published in 1963 and translated into English under the title “Possessed by Satan”, priests are urged to consider medical explanations for apparent possession. One section of the book, in fact, is titled “Let’s Not Always Think of Possession!” Father Rodewyk, outlining the bishop’s responsibilities, says that he “may appoint a commission of theologians and physicians to undertake a further investigation” and warns that the exorcists “must guard against playing the role of physician when encountering physiological symptoms.” He quotes the authorities Roman Ritual (of exorcism): “The exorcist should avoid giving or recommending any sort of medication to the possessed; that is the physician’s task.” Although such statements clearly suggest that a physician may sometimes be needed before and during an exorcism, there is no stipulation that a doctor MUST be in attendance. This deficiency in church procedure was corrected, at least in Germany, after the conviction of the two priests in the Michel case. In May 1978 the German Bishops’ Conference ruled that in the future no exorcisms would be permitted unless a doctor was present.

  5. 5 of your favorite wrestlers have just gotten together into a stable! They asked you to name their stable and do a promotional graphic for them. Any size, complete freedom.
  6. I'm leaving UO. I'm selling off my house and most everything else I have. Email me if you are interested: alternateyou@yahoo.com
  7. Yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do with it.... I'd be willing to sell it on here for $30.00. (plus S+H)

    N64

    Yeah, I traded my N64 with Pokemon Stadium for a perfectly working NES with 2 controllers and like 15 games. Sometimes I regret it, other times I don't.
  9. Okay, at Half.com they are selling 1 copy in BRAND NEW condition, for $49.99. I just bought it for $2.00. Anybody want to buy it? (Or am I not allowed to do that here?)
  10. Yeah, there were like 4 different Nintendo shows. This is from 1989.
  11. I know that this isn't related directly to a video game, but does anyone remember this cartoon? It also had live action stuff too, with Lou Albano as Mario, WTF?!?!? Anyways, I have obtained an unopened VHS copy of "The Great BMX Race". I've been scouring the net to determine what it is worth, but to no avail, I'm afraid. If anyone knows where I can get some more information on selling it or how much it would be worth, anyways, please let me know.
  12. Also, although there is absolutely nothing wrong with the reason above, you can simply at pixels to the canvas size and set the fill to be black or whatever color you want your border to be.
  13. You can't search words that are 3 letters or less on here, I've tried. I know that some of you sport some cool animated .gif files in your avatars and sigs, and I was really wondering how to do it in ImageReady. I got it with Photoshop CS, if that indicates a version, or whatever. Thanks for the help.
  14. Background I made for a program...rate it up.
  15. A zombie game. I think there is one coming out soon though.
  16. Kurt Angle Rules! LOL Moderately Funny Sorry if it's been posted before.
  17. I agree with you, it does seem really dull. My colors are much brighter! Strange!
  18. As far as talking dogs in movies: Homeward Bound Milo and Otis Road Trip Little Nicky All I can think of.. As far as a dog singing that song, doesn't ring a bell.
  19. Absolutely HORRIBLE! If it was supposed to be funny, at the least you should've made it well written. The guitar part starts off alright, but is soon engulfed by the drunken cowboy "singing" extremely loudly and just sounds like you're hitting one string. So if it were say re-recorded, re-mixed, and actually no, nothing could make this decent. Keep tryin'.
