  • Question about Captive Bead Rings?

    I have tried google to no avail....or I'm just incompetent...I'd be fine with either answer, haha

    But yeah, I would like to put something like a 10mm or at least an 8mm bead on a 1 inch 8g captive bead ring. I have seen the dimpled bead design and a bead that has a whole running through the entire bead. The one with the hole seems like it could be usable for what I'm wanting to do.

    I'm pretty new to this stuff, so I guess it doesn't hurt to ask than to spend money on something I may just not ever use.

    The bead with the hole design is called "10mm Hematite Captive Bead Replacement Ball"

  • What should I learn first for becoming a Digital Artist / drawing animator?

    I have decided that I want to be an independent Digital artist / animator. (Mostly for the Furry community). I have a medium sized Wacom Pen and Tablet (Bamboo Splash) and I have purchased Paint Tool Sai.

    I have very little drawing skills honestly, and I know very little about this program to use it to it's full potential.....of course.... I know some people use Photoshop with Sai, I know some people only use Sai, and do well though too.

    My question is, what should I focus on for right now. Should I try to learn some drawing stuff, or learn more on the software first? Which would be a more effective investment in my time to learn first? Should I try to learn drawing from the tablet only, or learn with pencil and paper as well, or only pencil and paper at first?

  • Need Help Formatting 1TB external hdd to Fat32 for PS3?

    Ok, I've spent ALLLL morning trying to figure this one out. So the plan was to buy an external hard drive so that our PS3 could have more memory. It's an old FAT model with the 4 USB slots in the front, and it only has 10GB left on it. After we brought it home I did SOME research on what I need to do. I used a Win7 command prompt to format the drive to FAT32, however after about 9 hours of waiting I wake up to see that an error popped up telling me that the Disk size was to big (Or something along those lines) Turns out upon investigating that Win7 can't format Fat32 larger than 32GB (Or SOMETHING like that) ok ok so there has to be a way to do this right? and to use the FULL 1TB not just 32GB, RIGHT?

    What I found is that Fat32 can be difficult. It can't save files larger than 4GB and Win7 can't format larger than 32GB. There were something about clusters but I'm not too smart to keep up on everything I've barely just learned. Anyway, so I found this program called Fat32 Format. What I've read about it, it will Format the entire thing to Fat32. So what I'm wondering is if I use Fat32 Format, will I:

    1) Be able to use all 1TB for memory on my PS3

    2) Store game data on the device (Buy a game off the store and download it into the device)

    3) Can game data even be downloaded into an external on a PS3? (4Gb file size limit for each file)

  • Is my internet connection slow for my PS3 to play online?

    I'm having lag issues with my PS3 online. It runs smoothly most of the time, but I get small moments of rubber banding and lag on GTA V and Battle Field 3. I can play PC games lag free most of the time. I don't have any issues playing Counter Strike Global Offensive. Team Fortress 2, and other games. I have a Wii U that plays lag free. It's only my PS3 that I'm having small lag issues online. I recently bought it refurbished last week. ANYWAY My download speed is 16mbps and my Upload speed is 1mbps. Oh btw mbps is Megabites per second right? I was downloading BF3 dlc, that was around 2000 MBs but it took around 40 minutes to do. If it's suppose to download at 16mbps why was the progress showng about 1 megabite per second. It took a lot longer than my PC and WiiU downloads.

  • My PS3 is having lag issues online.?

    We bought a Gamestop Premium Refurbished PS3 4 days ago. The old Fat 80 GB one. I bought Battle field 3 and GTA V The system is fine offline, no lag, no rubber banding or anything issues whatsoever. However when I m online I have bits of lag issues on both GTAV online and Battle Field 3 online. The game is smooth most of the time, but lags every once and awhile. I rubber band and it gets annoying. I will do what needs to be done to fix it. I just need to know how. (I turned of that whole media thing and there is still lag) I can play on my Wii U without changing anything with my router and play lag free.

  • Do you think the Wii-Remote could be competitive against Mouse players?

    I always hear people say that Mouse aim is so accurate and with the right person they can be deadly accurate. Mouse aim is top tier when it comes to FPS aiming in games such as CoD, or Battlefield. Though I wondered, if pinned up against someone with mouse aim, could a pro Wii-remote player be competitive against a pro PC player? Couldn't Wii-Remote potentially be just as accurate as a mouse? I wish it could be possible for someone on their Wii U be able to go head-to-head against Someone on their PC, just to see how they would match up. I'm not trying to say that Wii-Remote is better than mouse aim. but thinking about it, I think Wii-Remote precision could be just as good as mouse aim. What do you guys think? Why do you think Wii-Remote can, or can not be competitive against mouse aim, if it was possible to directly match them up?

    I need help becoming an artist, I really want to be one!!!?

    Ok for a while now I've always wanted to be creative and draw well. Although I've always wanted to, I have yet to be serious about trying. I'm not very confident, and seeing all the artists out there makes me feel like I'll just go nowhere and I'll be wasting my time trying to learn something I'll never be get good at. However I'm trying to be different and change myself confidence. I'm going to tell myself that everyone starts somewhere, nobody is great at the beginning. But, I've been having a problem...I don't know WHERE to start... I don't want to be a conventional artist. I want to be a Graphic Artist and I want my art to mainly be Furries. Feral and Anthro. I put a picture as an example of the art quality I'd like to someday compare to. I had a tip from a friend to start learning animals before learning human anatomy, then mash them together, but I don't know an effective way to start learning. I have a ton of problems with my art. I am really bad. My proportions, angling, shaping are terrible. I don't know how to draw the muzzle in the right angle to make it look right. I don't know what to do, and my doubt is making it hard. Another question. Could artist skills on pencil and paper be transferable to art on a computer using s stylist and touchpad?

  • What should I do when everything feels boring and uninteresting?

    I'm 18 and it's finally summer, the time of year every person looks forward to at my age. Although summer hasn't felt so bland and uninteresting before.

    I live 12 miles away from town, I can't drive and I don't have very many friends. I literally made myself go hang out with a friend for a weekend just to get out of the house, but I felt bored half the time. Lately I just go nocturnal and play video games all night, but even that starts to feel dull and uninteresting, at that point, nothing feels interesting anymore, I don't even want to sleep.

    I don't like T.v all that much, I like/dislike anime, I think it's cool, but it makes life feel much more bland and boring after watching it. I don't read much either for the same reasons. There isn't anything to do that interests me outside, especially by myself. I had a plan this summer to buckle down and start learning how to draw. I want to be a Digital Artist and get paid for that, but currently my art skills suck, but even learning to draw feels like a boring and tedious thing to do. I feel like I'm just going to waste my time and not get any better.

    I'm on facebook a lot less since school let out, it feels boring to talk to my online friends, even my long distance relationship has gotten really boring. I don't talk to people much irl I'm quiet and shy, and don't really care to know about people, I don't like most people anyway.

    I do talk to a councilor every few weeks, that's the only thing that I find interesting.

  • Why do I jump and freeze when I'm surprised in a Video Game?

    I like to play games like Counter Strike: Global Offense, Call of Duty, World of Tanks, first person shooter things. But everytime an enemy suddenly comes around the corner, I tend to just freeze and aim really poorly. I tend to jump and the mouse goes crazy if I'm in World of Tanks and someone on my team shoots a big gun from behind me. Why am I so jumpy when things like that happen? How do I overcome jumping and flinching in games like Counterstrike where every second counts and you need to be quick and accurate to win?

  • Where can you share your game ideas?

    Hi, I had a thought a few minutes ago for a new game on the Wii U. I play War Thunder on PC and had the thought of an online multiplayer plane game that's similar to War Thunder for the Wii U. The controls would be motion based by using the Wii stick remote with the help of the nun-chuck for more buttons. Tilt the remote left and right to turn, tilt up and down to gain and lose altitude. Buttons could be customized to fit any player. I just thought it'd make a cool and fun multiplayer game for the Wii U, who knows maybe it could be War Thunder on Wii U! I'd like to get the idea out to see if a developer would like the idea and produce the game, so where do people go to get game ideas to developers?

  • Is this a stupid reason to feel like this about a guy?

    ok, so 2 days ago I was sitting on facebook talking to a random friend. While talking she suggested one of her friends to hook up with me, we talked a little while and it all seemed too good to be true, He was nice, and we talked about what we would want to do together, he kept me calm when I got nervous, it all seems well...until I called him and heard his voice...He has that stereotypical "Gay Guy Voice" That slightly higher pitched voice and talks almost like a girl, and he has a country accent to boot! I don't like it here in the south, I don't like southern accents, and I really don't like the "Gay Guy Voice". But I don't want to be a jerk and not like him for his voice! To me it just sounds ridiculous to not like a perfectly ok person...because you don't like his voice... I am a fairly open minded person and I still want to give it a shot, but I'm feeling really really nervous, because we're going to meet up together in person for the first time tomorrow, and he's talking about hugging and cuddling and holding hands. That all sounds nice but for some reason what's getting me the most nervous is that he would like a kiss from me too... I'm getting more and more nervous, I don't want not like him because of his voice, but I want to feel comfortable around him....what do you think I should do???

  • New Graphics card Crashing my Computer? Blue Screens, Can't log in?

    Today my dad went out and got us a new Graphics card, before installing it we looked to see in we would need a new power supply, turns out we did and so my dad went out again and bought a new power supply. the power supply is 450 Watts and the Card suggested anything 400+ so it should work fine and it did, with a minor bit of static on the screen. We started playing World of Tanks, we upped the Graphics in game to make it look better obviously. It ran great, then after 3 matches or about a half an hour the game crashes and the screen goes blue and black checkerboard, blue screen then black, after a moment it would automatically restart, when we logged in it mentioned that windows crashed unexpectedly. we went back into the game, it crashed again in the middle of a match about 5 minutes since it restarted. but now we can't even get to the log in page, it would start up with these thick blue bars going across the screen and it would show the Windows logo, then press enter to start up normally, then it would go cycle over again and we see the Windows logo and press enter then again and again and again. what the bananas is going on!?!?!?!?

  • Fight, Flight, Freeze? Why am I freezing up?

    Every time I play an FPS game say, Counterstrike, when I get surprised by an enemy I always freeze up and usually get killed, or spay and miss because my aim is off. This also happens in real life. When someone surprises me, my eyes widen and I my mind goes blank for a moment then it seems like I return back into my mind again after that short moment. I've looked around a little some people told me that it's anxiety, that I take it as it's an actual confrontation. why would my mind think like that? what is it really thinking? lastly how do I overcome freezing up? I want to stop being hopeless in that short moment when I could be firing accurately at my target.

  • Would Updating my Flash Player improve my internet?

    Lately my internet has been having some problems. I use Firefox, I had no problems before but now when I want to watch youtube the videos seem to skip frames and not play smoothly. If I want to go back a page sometimes I have to click it 3 or 4 times for it to go back the to page before. It's been having tabbing issues too, If I want to open a new tab sometimes Firefox freezes and I have to put it down then bring it back up to make it work. I just cleaned out my cache and there isn't that much of an improvement. Every once an awhile an ad pops up saying that mu flash player isn't up to date, would updating it help my problems?

  • Will Updating your Graphics Card Driver Allow your computer to play higher graphic games?

    we have a fairly new comuter, I want to be able to play Arma3 when it comes out, but I can't even play arma2 free without me lagging all the time, even when all the graphics are set to very low, or disabled. I found this site that checks your computer to see if your computer meets requirements to play the game "can you run it" is what you type in google. everything meets requirements on one of the current games out for PC except for the Graphics card, thing ._. I looked up on youtube on how to update it
