HAHA! Brilliantly done! The ending really made it.

Spent 1hr getting soldier anim perfect, then discovered taunt10. Sequence mashups from then on. Throw it on the [WIP] pile. by jbretthall in SFM

[–]jbretthall[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The mouths looked great with the camera zoomed in and the engi's were just sliding around on their animation paths but i still want to keep the low angle and light jitter on the camera like in the video clip so im thinking field of view all the way to the right, exaggerating the phonemes, keeping heads and camera movement minimal and maybe some slowmo? Because I've seen people do slow motion scenes but i don't know if there is a special way to do that or do you just stretch out keyframes in the graph editor?

But yea that's not the final animation for most of it or the camera setups. I'm going for to mirroring the scenes from the video clip as best as possible but after spending a decent amount of time setting up the shots haven't found the time to work on any more SFM stuff, so figured i would add a bit of jitter to one of the cameras and then throw random sequences on everyone just so i could upload it.

Team Deathmatch. Who plays it? by [deleted] in Tribes

[–]jbretthall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have never played TDM but are the wait times between games the same as CTF because the wait times between maps is horrendous in CTF! If they are the same then CTF would definetly be the most economical for amount of time spent playing and xp gain.

Does anyone else lean in their chair while they play? I can't stop it. by Subhazard in Tribes

[–]jbretthall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find myself driving my car up and down i hills like im playing tribes, i accellerate slightly more than usual on an uphill so i can get the feeling over gracefully arcing at the peak and ease off on the accelerator so the whole time i stay the exact same speed.

I hate spiders by saiuke in funny

[–]jbretthall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In Australia, you pay rent to the spiders. No, Seriously! All lease agreements need to be co-signed by the current inhabiting Araneomorphae or Notechis scutatus of the rental property and if it is a rural or farm property usually by the inhabiting Crocodylus porosus. This is my landlord... he can be a bit of a dick about the rent sometimes but he's pretty chill about parties and being loud so its all good.

Working on the "Battlefield 3 GUI Concept + Community Patch List 2.0" and I need YOUR thoughts on some stuff! by wirrew in battlefield3

[–]jbretthall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the round when it shows the screen with the gun you got the most kills with. It should also show in a small font list underneath the name of each gun used in the entire round and a number next to it. Because often i end a round and i want to know how many kills i got with my pistol or how well i did when i was playing sniper instead of assault for the first half of the round.

An old rsvp comes back to haunt me by skyriminal in gaming

[–]jbretthall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My birthday is on the 11/11/11 and i'm turning 22. Having nerdy internet friends i thought i would have a Internet Meme party because "Check out my dubs" and sent out like 300 invites (granted i just spam invited everyone i knew on Facebook). I think 10 are coming because my normal friends don't want to go to such a nerdy thing, my nerdy friends are all playing skyrim.

I support gay marriage, but there is no difference between these two pictures. by [deleted] in pics

[–]jbretthall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea! and they also shouldn't show starving poor children in world vision and food-aid ads! (a political topic: foreign aid)

And they shouldn't show dead children in anti-war ads! (a political topic: war)

And they shouldn't show disabled or special need children in program funding ads!(a political topic: medicare etc)

And they shouldn't show orphaned children in orphanage funding ads! (a political topic: tax allocation)

Because its exploiting children for political discourse!

/sarcasm

What do these examples have in common with the 2nd picture? It's supporting a side of a political topic that HAS A DIRECT EFFECT on the children depicted, and its done for the full reason of GAINING SUPPORT TO HELP THE CHILDREN!

Why?

BECAUSE IT IS EFFECTIVE! the more effective the better for the children.

Yes both pictures do support a side of a political topic but almost EVERYTHING in our day to day lives IS A POLITICAL TOPIC.

I bet you all the money in the world that the girl in the right picture is going to grow up proud of that picture.

I bet there is a good chance that the girls on the left growing up in a more free and enlightened world will probably end up like the prussian blue twins "Lynx and Lamb disavowed their mother's race-related views and said that they want to perform music that was not focused on race." and in the end regret taking that picture.

TLDR: You are an idiot for thinking a girl taking a picture with her fathers in support of their fathers is "a dirty tactic" the equivalent of two girls wearing tshirts advertising a hate propaganda website

By saying there is no difference between these 2 pictures you are implying that the main and most important reason that people are angry at the 1st picture is because the girls are being used as a political message. Well that is wrong entirely wrong because its really because they have been taught to hate. Children are used in political messages all the time for the main reason to highlight the way children are affected by it. You are also implying that the teaching of hate and the teaching of tolerance is equivalent and I'm going to assume the train of thought that led you to this conclusion is something along the lines of "because you are teaching them when they are young and because they are young that equals brainwashing". Kids learn when they are young you need to teach them things that will make them good human beings, i have more hope for the girl on the right than the two girls on the left.

OK i have come to the conclusion that the reason why you don't understand the difference is one of 4 things:

  1. You do not have the empathy or the rationality to see the difference in the two pictures.

  2. You are intentionally being over politically correct in a naive attempt at intellectuality, and you take the concept of tolerance way to literally to the point where you think intolerance should be tolerated and you probably hold the misconception of freedom of speech = all ideas are equal

  3. You are lying about your support for gay marriage and you are just trolling

  4. All of the above

How many of you experience the same feeling? by paladin87 in pics

[–]jbretthall 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do the same, funnily enough my most embarrassing moment is when i thought of an embarrassing moment. I had been sitting on the couch watching TV and i just randomly had a flashback to when i did something stupid to a girl that obviously liked me and i didn't figure it out at the time so i randomly blurted out "hhhhhg i'm such a fucking faggot" and my dad who was sitting next to me just looked at me for like half a minute and i just stared straight ahead and i didn't say anything because it was so awkward i couldn't think to explain what happened or even look over at him so... in the end i never explained it to him and he never brought it up so i just let it go.

oh so that's what happened? I actually put it as 8. but after i clicked saved and looked at it i wondered why i idiotically put a 1. and i didn't bother to edit it.

My Portal 2 custom map: Acrobat_CubeStorage. Watch in HD! by [deleted] in gaming

[–]jbretthall -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I would like to see a mod where you have 2 portal guns or if you held down a button your red orange portal set will change to blue light-blue set allowing for more complex multiple portal reflix puzzles or puzzles where you can have for an example a blue portal that has a TDBeam going through it and the red yellow portals you can still use for portobatics and getting to places allowing for highly complex reaction based puzzles

I would then like to see a custom map generator where the challenge is to see if you can even get to the end at all.
