I'm not a Kazaa user. (No love for illegal soft.
 ) Maybe I can get one of my friend's websites to host it...

Kazaa is'nt technically illegal....
I'll share it if my Kazaa works- I liked the sectoid sketch with "eyes serve no purpose",and it gave me a strange thought-maybe that's where sectoids keep their grenades? Maybe that's why their head is so large? -------------------- Sorry for wasting your time and space....

I had to download a new set of codecs and a new player to see it, but I saw it! Awesome and I'm especially impressed with the armor designer! :bomber:
Hmm, ideas involving my old paintball squad, a handheld camera, and a script come to mind. So where are you based? I don't have bandwidth to offer, but how else could we help? -------------------- The deadly Lobsterman threat was finally countered by melee combat with power tools. -ufopaedia.org

Indeed, I watched it again last night and it's very well done. The musci sounds familiar though... where might I have heard it before?

Ol' Poc did say JohnNebthos was really a band. I assumed that the music was original.

I get this odd color scheme where all reds are blue and all blues are red. Unless of course that rookie's face was actually suppose to be blueish and his armour orangish red. Any help on getting the colors back to normal would be much appreciated

What were the codecs you downloaded to update windows media player. I could not make it play with the video, and only had the music. Can you send the website address that shows where to download the codecs. Thanks

I thought the music was great, although there were very little special effects. It makes me think... I WANNA SEE MORE!!!!!! I really was looking forward to seeing one of the aliens, or maybe the X-COM base, inside a UFO. It was okay, but I wanted to see something other than the guy running in a forest wearing the armour (which looked pretty cool
 )One more thing, seeing this trailer, it looks like they are going to do it in color, not black and white, that would make me want to see it a lot! |

D'loaded and put on xMule
 The trailer was good, although I'd suggest you make a divx/xvid version of it as the codec you are using is quite a resource hog even on my machine (and on Linux it's too choppy) -------------------- Resistance is NEVER futile...
