You ARE using Quicktime 7, correct?

Make sure you have MPEG4 checked.

Click on "EDIT." Highlight "Preferences." Click on "Quicktime preferences." Click on the "File types" tab. Click on the "+" next to MPEG. Then put a check on Mpeg4-media.

OK, I've got to do it! I'm going to get a suit from Shadowsaber.

Shadowsaber, if you can read this, I'm looking for a commission. If you can't read this, don't worry; I'll track you down...

It won't be cheap. And I'm guessing you have to wait in line. :wink:


I'd get a suit myself. Problem is, I sweat to much. Even in shorts, I sweat to much.

The one on the left is a button, the right is a badge. She made a small mistake while coloring. She put white fingertips instead of a white paw. She is used to drawing characters that has white fingertips. She thought mine was that way.

After she made those, I gave her a duckie!! She gave it back to me and said, "Sign it!" I was like "WHOA!!!" I signed it and gave it back to her.

You know...I knew something was a bit off. Well, I imagine those duckie-chuckers are worth their pound of flesh!

A lot of your vids aren't working Fig. Running out of bandwidth or is it a plugin issue?

BTW, great A-Kon this year. It was triffled with drawbacks by comparison to other A-Kons, but it was still fun. Next year will be even greater I'm sure.
:D

You need to save the vids on your PC. (Right click, save target as) Use the latest Quicktime to play them. Make sure you have Mpeg4 checked. I posted instructions above.

I'm missing my duckie; the one with the corporate sponsorship. It says "Sears" on the front. I think it got taken down with the Cashel Entertainment stand. By now it must be floating down the streets of Venice.

Bah, I didn't get hit by any duckies. I must be immune to it. >_> Either that or I was well protected by my wicked Battle Rifle.

Oh, and Short Tail, you technically didn't "break" the gun, you mearly bumped it. No worries bud. It's the crappy glue I used that made it break. I can easilly fix it with some higher quality bonding agents. You know... the kind that can bond skin to any object permanently.
:D

Next year will be a different gun, and a different costume for me. I expect that me and my friends will all go as Halo Marines. I wish I could make costumes as good as Pariah and Shadowsaber. I'm not too worried. A lot of A-Kon goers wished they could make props like I can. Custom weapons anyone?
:wink:

White fur? Or white colored rubber?

Sorry to hear about your missing cheek btw :wink:

You are too good at sewing clothing, just maybe not as good as YOU want to be. Besides, you've been working on making costumes for FAR less than a year. Most people wouldn't have anything half as good as what you have made so far.

I'm scared to see what you will be capable of when you really come into your own.


And btw, before your Pessimism gets the best of you... HUSH!

Ha, you're such a dork. I've never made an article of clothing, so there! :P

Maybe no articles of clothing that I would wear, but you look cute in them.
