Free online magazine.  Their stories have won a few awards.

Marvel WFH isn't as big a deal, as writers usually aren't creating new properties.

New Vertigo properties aren't creator owned but there are detailed contracts that give the writers/artists certain rights over the property - detailing things like what they get for trade sales, translations, movie options etc.

Warren Ellis was happy to create Planetary with Wildstorm under some rights sharing contract.

Does a 2000ad contract give anything like this to its creators?

Upload the files in a zip. Someone will be able to open them.

Was having trouble myself. Paltalk don't take kindly to linux.

Saw one around 11.45 (Gorey, Wexford, Ireland)

Then the bastard cloud blanket rolled in.

It's not bad at all.

I use Photoshop though so haven't much experience with it.

If you're likely to be googling for tutorials for different effects/techniques, the unfortunately named GIMP probably has more support material out there.

Old 80s comics look so good.

I'd love a new comic to come out on this sort of paper, including the cover.

A one off prog printed like this would be cool.

Yeah, but it would hopefully be all self contained stories... something like Batman: Gotham Knight or the Animatrix & direct to DVD.

I'd say that would sell - too late now, but especially if it was available off the back of the Dredd film.

I have a black pen!
I have a scanner!

[7zip]

7zip free and superior alternative to winzip/winrar

I've just been installing software on my new computer (almost all been recommended above) and I thought I'd give this a spin as I'd been looking for a replacement to UltimateZip. The usability is a little lacking (it doesn't seem to associate itself with files, which may be a plus, and doesn't have options in the right click) so I went with another one I found recently and have been happily using on another computer:

Any time I've ever installed 7zip it has an option during install to associate with archive files and to add functions to the right click menu.

Do you have to use punkbuster? That doesn't install with the extension, does it? Can you disable that while playing Quake Live?

Reading up on problems with PnkBstr it seems it is compulsory on servers which run it - its anti-cheating software so making it optional would seem to defeat the purpose

Hmmm... I dont have punkbuster installed on my computer but maybe a version of it is included in the firefox extension.

Do you have to use punkbuster? That doesn't install with the extension, does it? Can you disable that while playing Quake Live?

Sent a friend request on quake live to everyone who poster their username here.

Don't be afraid of the monkeysexninja!

I think they're all two player games. You have to wait for someone else to come in, or else pop into a game arena that already has another player in it.

In Globulos when you're setting up a new game, at the top of the new game screen you can also click VS or MELEE to start one of the multiplayer games.

You still have to wait for enough players but you can invite people from the lobby once you're in the room.
