I maed thes
No uploader just yet, but you can straight up post banners or send them to me to get 'em in the rotation. Whoever makes the best one can pick the silly background image for the funhouse :3

I think the mention of "cocks" could be more subtle. Also, "savage" should be "savagely," and "rape" should be "raping." Unless poor grammar is supposed to be part of the humor.

anyone even know what the banner is? cuz thast the coolest banner ever for sure.

Post by: JonLeung on January 06, 2007, 09:38:17 AM
No, this is the coolest banner. I'm sure you'd agree, you MK fan, you. I made it today.
I was in a Mortal Kombat palette-swapping mood today. And no, I didn't put Human Smoke in there. Or Khameleon or Chameleon or Tremor. Or the 2P variants. Or all of THEIR male/unmasked male/female/cyborg versions. Deal with it. I'm not making one with 100 ninjas.
(Why is Cyborg Smoke more purplish than grey in the Super NES UMK3?)

Do you mean the background? Because even in its extremely pixelated state it's easy to see that it's the Legend of Zelda overworld...

I think he was merely pointing out that I stole the banner is from his website.

Because purple is awesome, and Smoke is awesome. But pink is awesomer.

In a screwed up early palette swap attempt, one of the first "reject ninjas" I created was a pink unmasked human male ninja.
It looks quite...oh, what's the word?
Title: RE:Banner & background thread

That's a lame shade of pink.

I don't find that joke funny. Is there a back story that will improve it or did it just originate from nerds who aren't pokemon fans attempting to mock nerds who are pokemon fans?
Title: RE: Banner & background thread
Post by: vudu on January 09, 2007, 07:08:33 AM
The original picture's hilarious; in fact, I'm going to print it out and hang it in my office.

It is one big inside joke, but considering that there are banners based on Funhouse jokes I figured why not.
And vudu, I know that I didn't put in the rest of the joke. I had trouble trying to fit the picture into the allowed size and still show the joke.
I might work around with it later, but I am glad you enjoyed it.

I was looking to see if my Mortal Kombat ninjas one was accepted. I refreshed a bunch. I saw four OTHER Mortal Kombat ones (I didn't realize it was that popular here) as well as SEVERAL Pyramid Head ones. Boy, we have a twisted bunch here.
Pyramid Heads AND Full House? WTF.

It's probably easier to just go here and poke your nose around. It'll save you from hitting the refresh button over and over again.

Uhmm, I've seen that joke all over this internets. I don't think Bill started it.
And I still don't understand really... other than the nerds mocking nerds thing.

Post by: JonLeung on January 11, 2007, 01:29:29 AM
Are the cats' expressions not funny enough?
I'm a Pokémon nerd and I can enjoy a little ribbing about Pokémon (or POKEMANS!) when it's presented in a humourous way involving felines.
Oh, well, I'm sure everyone has things that they find funny that others don't and vice-versa.

If it were just the picture and the text of "let me show you my Pokemans" it wouldn't really be funny. However, when you add in the black boarder and the text "MY POKEMANS let me show you them" it turns into a laugh riot.
Even a week later I still think it's hilarious.
Title: RE: Banner & background thread
Post by: NWR_pap64 on January 11, 2007, 06:14:22 AM
The picture and the lines are priceless, but what made the picture REALLY funny for me was SB's take on it.
When he showed me the picture, he actually did the voice of the cat playing the GBA. It was so accurate I couldn't help but die of laughter when I saw it. It became the joke of the week during his visit.
I even exploded with laughter when he used the joke in Twilight Princess!

Don't you use .PNGs? They're better than .GIFs... .PNGs can be smaller than .GIFs (especially when run through an optimizer like PNGGauntlet) and can have 16 million colours and no stupid compression artifacts like .JPGs do. The only advantages .GIFs have are that they can be animated and that people with ancient browsers can view them - but nowadays everyone can view .PNGs.
My site, VGMaps.com, uses .PNGs whenever possible. You don't want to have to deal with more bandwidth than necessary, so an image-intensive site like mine wouldn't settle for anything less. PNGGauntlet is incredible, compressing some .PNGs to half the original size - but many .PNGs are already smaller than other filetypes.
If you want, I can convert the Mortal Kombat Ninja palette parade banner to a .GIF, but .PNGs are still better!
Title: RE:Banner & background thread
Post by: segagamer12 on January 12, 2007, 02:29:56 PM
I create all my banners in paint. They are all .jpg not even .gif.
I use Yahoo Webhosting and they are the major suck when it comes to what file types you can upload. I have started using a file uploading program but I forget what its called.
I would LOVE to host that banner on my website and link it to yours if you'd like. I am preparing to expand into other areas so Ill have an antire section devoted entirely to Mortal Kombat stuff.

Post by: JonLeung on February 06, 2007, 07:03:38 AM
Looks like you're into Transformers now, though.
You really should've done a smooth resize of the Mortal Kombat dragon and Decepticon logos, though. They look atrocious as your avatar.
I still haven't seen my banner...doesn't it count as a submission if I posted it in this thread?

Post by: Khushrenada on February 06, 2007, 04:36:25 PM
I'd like to try out this banner thread with a creation of my own. It's not the best quality so if someone wants to redo it to make it look better, go ahead. But here it is for now in all its glory; my first banner:

Post by: segagamer12 on February 07, 2007, 05:35:26 AM
YES put that banner in the rotation
to jonleung, no I do everything in PAINT resizing SUCKS. Like I said its Yahoo webhositng it ONLY allows me to upload jpg. I can use smart ftp BUT when I go to link to the file in pagebiluder its not there unless it is jpg.
BUT I have offica 2007 now so I am going to start using publisher because pagebuilder is too limiting. even editing html in that POS sucks.

Rat, try out the Photoshop demo that adobe lets you download. That will give you 30 days to see if you like it. Then maybe you can figure out a way to keep using it... like purchasing it? er.. I dunno.

my pc is too boggeddown and I wipe out my HD too frequently, plus I am comfortable with paint and I have tried photoshop and didnt like it. there are other issues but even if I explain it im 'dumb' for using paint so its not worth it.
Title: RE:Banner & background thread
Post by: Khushrenada on February 07, 2007, 04:01:12 PM
Paint is the only thing I have and that's how I made my first banner. That's why I mentioned some one may want to take my idea and make it look better.

I haven't seen a new banner in ages, time to fix it!
Also I think we should have random backgrounds to go with the banners

Post by: BlackNMild2k1 on August 19, 2007, 05:44:29 AM
I thought the backgrounds were supposed to match the Funhouse name change, but I think SUPER has been way too lazy lately. Random Backgrounds sounds like a good idea though.
