Hey I'd love to give it a go, put me down if you are still looking for help with it.

f

You guys did see the link to the picture of the character re-designs in my original post right? They aren't MAJOR re-designs...I gotta admit I think I like them more than the first series.

merged: 06-09-2008 ~ 04:34am
Couple larger scans have surfaced - Newtype 2008/07 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 2 by atseiS and - Newtype 2008/07 Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu 1 by atseiS

f

Yeah, apparently they are calling it a "new" Haruhi because they want it to sound fresh and give it a higher quality even higher than what they did for the first season which was pretty damn good if you ask me.

f

Apparently KyoAni has scrapped the 2nd season of Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu. Instead, they've opted for a "new" Haruhi series which appears to be based upon the disappearance novel. They've gone back to the drawing board and redesigned the characters (seems to be mainly the guys, making them a little more attractive for the bisho girls out there x_x)

Here is a photograph of the new designs from this months Newtype magazine. I'm sure we'll get to see some high resolution scans soon. Rumors around are placing this to release in 09. It was also said that the "season 2" was already in the works and was canned due to some artists leaving KyoAni earlier this year.

f

Yeah I pulled the battery but that did not work and I could not find the jumper to reset it. Basically right now I'm just trying to confirm what I already know that the BIOS is not on the hard drive and in fact has nothing to do with my problem.

The more I think about it the more pissed off I get. So I'm going to ask them why specifically they had to replace my hard drive and cause all my data to be lost. In fact, since it was under a factory warranty they should have automatically backed up my hard drive I think, not just slap a new one in. Hell I even had to bring them MY restore disk!?!

f

I have a nearly brand new Dell pc I was using and one day upon reboot I got that error message saying "BIOS Not Installed". Now I searched all over the place to see if other people had my problem, I could only find people having similiar problems using XP and I'm using Vista Home Premium. So after trying my hand at it for awhile I ended up returning to Best Buy where I purchased the computer to let the Geek Squad fix it. Well they couldn't figure it out in house so they sent it out to where ever their main house is at. Turns out they replaced my hard drive? Why on earth would they replace my Hard Drive for a BIOS problem? Isn't the bios on the motherboard? I have apparently lost nearly 200gb of information some of which I had no second copy of, some things I probably dont know what I lost.

So just tell me, there is a reason why they would replace my hard drive in relation to the BIOS.


(Did I mention when they shipped it back they broke the damn thing, and now I'm waiting to see if they are going to replace it or repair it AGAIN!)

f

Yeah ether I'd look into building your own, it's much cheaper and you can make it as fast as you want. Someone said Newegg.com is a great place to look for the cheap parts.

Stick with the Intel Core 2 Duo atleast 2.4ghz I'd say, 3gb RAM, 500gb HDD, DVD+-RW/DL drive which is pretty much standard anymore. Also the Nvidia 8800gt (S,X or OC all are great) for all your gaming needs, I wouldn't worry about doing SLI you won't really need it.

I tell ya, I bought a Dell which I like just fine and it came with all of the above except the 8800 GT OC, but when I bought it with the computer it ran me about $1000 USD. I think thats pretty cheap and the computer runs awesome. Forgot to say I had to buy a new PSU for the graphics card, but it was still about $1000 USD even so.

I'm working for a lighting company based out of Illinois, we travel across the US installing for various companies. The job that I do there is installing LEDs in the Walmart freezer doors (ya know where the frozen pizza is at), apparently they get a huge energy savings by switching over to them. They did research on it and they save about 60% of the energy that they were using previously with the flourescent bulbs they used to have.

So anyways I was at work tonight and I turned off all the lights in the freezer doors. xD Mind you, it's a part of my job everyday, but I still participated dammit hahaha.

Yeah Tama, I think we can let you off the hook this year too hehe.

f

Wow, that sounds really cool. Unfortunatly I'm not gonna be in an area that I know of that will be participating in such mass. It must truly be a sight to see a city of that size go black.

This "green electricity" you speak of sounds like a pretty cool thing as well. I travel Illinois and the rest of the states quite a bit, one thing in my flights I got to see from Iowa border to Chicago was the large fields of wind farms there are between and I find it to be getting more and more impressive.

I'm also interested to see "how many cars we took off the road".

f

Hey I was just browsing Google and for obvious reasons found out about this Earth Hour - http://www10.earthhourus.org/

I thought I would spread the word I think it sounds like a cool thing to do. Basically in your own local times turn your lights out in your house from the times of 8pm to 9pm and as a community here I thought we could all do our part.

f

Well it seems that the person was nice enough after several emails back and forth to remove the items from auction. I feel bad however since he did not create them but he himself bought them for resale from a distributor...whose name I did not get from him.

f

It is this one - KNOCK OUT! by fluke

f

Well I'm interested to find out as a vector artist, if I actually have any rights to the vectors I've made. The original images I did not create nor any of the characters themselves. My question comes about as I've just found one of my vectors on a wallscroll for sale on ebay. I immediatly recognized it as such because the thumbnail the seller provided had my name on it and the title of the vector. He claimed to have bought it from a distributor and is reselling it. I've reported it to ebay, but all they can do is have me fax them a sheet proving I have rights to the picture and as such they would remove the auction. Now for myself this is the first thing I've seen of mine on ebay, however I've seen several wallpapers and other vectors placed upon such things as wallets, lighters and wallscrolls. So, do we have any rights to our versions of the art we made?

f

I should mention that I do intend to purchase a PS3 when games such as Gran Tourismo HD (which may in fact be available on the Xbox 360 since I had read that Polyphonic is no longer in an exclusive Sony deal) and Metal Gear Solid 4 come out.

f

Quote by SulibresAnother interesting note is that the PS3 is relatively compact in terms of width when compared to its bulkier Microsoft counterpart. It's sleek, polished black cover with the silver engravings "PlayStation 3" make it incredibly attractive to look at.

You obviously have never compared in size a PS3 to a 360. The PS3 is nearly the size of a small computer tower, it's enormous and very loud.

My own personal opinion after having owned a 360 for...almost 2 years now I believe, is it is the way to go. The best games are here, the developers are here, HD-DVD expansion(just as good a quality as a Blu-Ray, who cares about the extra 50 hours of deleted scenes and commentary it adds to movies) and the Marketplace make that system exceptional.

Now the online play is not free, but it's (usually) extremely high quality (not counting recent holiday events). The coolest feature I like is how there is a gamerscore, that way it keeps track of how much of each game you have played and what achievements you have unlocked. Extra way to incite some friendly competition.

I've never owned a PS3, I did own the PS2 and it was exceptional machine also. However I've yet to see a reason to buy the PS3. Graphics are not superior to the 360 like many will lead you to believe, I've seen the screenshots. Sure there might be things that it can do that the 360 can not, but the same can be said for the 360. I believe Sony's delayed release in comparison the the 360 and the lack of must have titles are what are bringing it down. It seems Microsoft is pulling on Sony, what Sony did to Sega in the age of the Dreamcast (kick ass machine also!).

My personal opinion.

f

I thought from what previously was stated if the group was more than a month old that it could be backed up and since the group was well over a year old...

Well if not, Thanks anyways.

Well the backup has finally been loaded, so we can close this thread now.

f

Anyone?

f

I pm'd DeHacked about 5 or 6 days ago but he hasn't been online since, my group HaruhiSuzumiya-SOS-Dan was one of the groups purged during the incident. The group was restored but the members where not loaded from backup. I was wondering if someone could get in touch with DeHacked or someone else capable of loading the backup so the members list is restored.

f

You should have just named it Clannad-Fans like it was previously and no I think DeHacked said there wasn't backups from that time...but I'm too lazy to go back and look at that post haha Anyways, I sent you a PM with all the CSS I recovered from google, not sure if you got it or not.

f

Quote by YoruAngel866omg my group "dark-wallers" was deleted,and i made it 2 weeks ago!why?

merged: 01-13-2008 ~ 05:55pm
Also group blood-plus

Do you read anything before you post or just start shooting as soon as you open the door?

f

HaruhiSuzumiya-SOS-Dan is still functioning, however all it's admins and members have been removed. Is there anyway to restore that part of it?

merged: 01-13-2008 ~ 05:08pm
I would like to point out that if you had a newly created group that can not be recovered from this incident AND you did not make a backup of your custmomized content (shame on you) if you act quickly you can use Googles cached pages to recover your content code.

I'd also like to say that the "backup" of MT was available before the Hacking even if the two are related. I was pointed in it's direction a few days before all this occured here.

f

It's Sheqe1 not Sheqel on bugmenot.

f

I only meant it as a joke.

f

Awww come on xD why don't you tell em the truth haha you have better things to do hahaha Who doesn't.
