Have been playing games since Space Invaders was released in Australia, learnt how to program snow in the old sulfur screens at school, played with Commordore 64, bought my first Amiga 500, taught myself DPaint 4 and taught some others as well, was International Graphics Manager for a multimedia, internal broadcast company in the early 90s using Amiga 4000s with 2 gig HDs and 128meg of RAM (Wow, killer machines at the time) Learnt Lightwave 2.1 and used DPaint for the .iff textures, taught myself the PC as it slowly became the dominate machines on the planet. Have been doing 3D modeling, graphics, animation, website design/layout and maintance, design team management for the greater part of my adult life and am a self taught carpenter building all of my furniture for my room and the house including renovating half of the house as well. I enjoy using my semi high end PC with dual screen for doing my graphics, all sorts of sci-fi movies and series. Plenty of other stuff...

Just checking to see if Filefront was still around and the Founders have posted this on the main filefront site:
.................................................................
FileFront has been acquired by the original founders of the site and will NOT be suspended as previously announced. This is NOT an April Fool's Joke.

After learning about Ziff Davis Media's plan to shut down FileFront at the end of March, the original founders of FileFront made the decision to buy it back from Ziff Davis Media.

We're happy to announce to the gaming community that as of today, April 1st, 2009, FileFront is a completely independent company again and is no longer part of Ziff Davis Media. All previously suspended services should be active and working again. We thank Ziff Davis Media for their cooperation and willingness to keep the site and community alive.

Due to the very unfortunate timing of this event and related announcements on March 24th and April 1st (April Fool's Day), we'd like to make it perfectly clear that:

1) The March 24th announcement about FileFront shutting down was NOT an early April Fool's joke and Ziff Davis Media had every intention of shutting down FileFront by the end of March.

2) This announcement about the original founders buying back FileFront from Ziff Davis Media is also NOT an April Fool's joke.

3) We're making this announcement on April 1st because the deal was completed today and we want to bring all services back online immediately.

4) We would NEVER shut down FileFront as an April Fool's joke.

5) We are happy to be back!

FileFront has existed in one form or another (originally as FileLeech and Voodoo Extreme's downloads) since 1997. In the last 12 years, FileFront has become the gaming community's most comprehensive and trafficked library hosting millions of files for thousands of games while requiring no registration and providing uncapped download speeds. We look forward to improving FileFront and serving the gaming community for years to come.

Welcome home. Game On!
................................................

Great to see them back, but the confusion and hectic downloading to save files would have cost in bandwidth 10's of Terabytes, and not just for Filefront, but the cost to all of those doing the download.  Ziff Media Group cost more than they know...

Thanks OOD, I just feel that Spore's creature shop is not really a modding tool, rather more like a widget, and far from a gateway into modding.

You're very welcome man. My newest blog shows some of my Combine chatter work for HL2. I've been told it's pretty awesome.

Hi CaptainSource :)

First, I want you wish you GoOd luck with your HL2 mod, I will look for it when release. I have a question and is a little bit out topic of your mod, sorry for this... I wanted to ask you what settings you've put for YouTube video to stay sharp even after uploading it. I spent many time on this with many codec and I follow all recommend guideline, nothing do, YouTube recompress it again and too much.

I hope this demand is ok for you and thanks for you time!
