    Smells like Halloween to me...

    Anyone else notice the trees changing color at all?

    I'll believe that they are changing the game environment for the seasons when the trees in perez park and eden start to change (which they are not)

    Uhhh, the tree canopy in Perez is composed of evergreens. Yeah, that's it.

    .... or a wizard did it. Now we will never speak of this again.

    The 5th Column are going to merge with The 5th Dimension and form the funkiest Disco-Nazi band ever.

    Even if we forget the whole "every day is special to someone in some part of the world" argument, how exactly is it disrespectful to release this game on a religious holiday? Do you get offended at all the stores that get deliveries of stock today? Or mad at the mailman because he delivered mail to your home today?

    Religious holiday or not, how does releasing anything on said day constitute being offensive in any way shape or form? Pfft, Larry David is probably shvitzing over this supposed offensiveness claim.

    Personally, I think "between two avatars, the size of the page download just increased by over 1 mb." Am I the only one who finds this unacceptable?

    I didn't really think about the bandwidth issue. My bad. I'm now using a 3k file, instead of a 350k file. Hope that helps.

    You can still have an animated avatar if you keep it simple. I think mine stylishly conveys my character and his electrical based powers, all in less than 10 frames of animation and just over 20k in size.

    You could do the same in a similar fashion to the still frame your using now. Keep the same pose but take a demo with the flames on the left billowing. When you import it into your gif animating software, pare it down to less than 15 frames, put it on a loop and it should still look good.

    I made my current animated avatar in Adobe Imagready CS. If you've used it, how would you compare it to the Ulead package?

    I like Imageready, but there are a couple things in it that drive me mad.
