Warhawke Studios proudly bring to you The Black Fog a story of the what happened when two individuals’ lives got smacked right in the middle. Neither of them chose to be that way, but is forced into the situation.

This is a double media project – machinima and comic. The movie could stand on its own (though story is very simple), but I wanted to add something more. Both movie and comic tells different story, so if you experience both, you’ll get the full circle. And please watch the movie first, then only the comic. The movie is mostly action, and the comic tells the background story

Ary was a fresh graduate trying to make a living in the big city who made a decent living from his ordinary job. He was nice and considerate towards others, always remembering everybodys birthdays, anniversaries and giving out Christmas presents even though he can barely paid the rent. However, he felt neglected because he hardly ever received anything back. So he resorted to divine intervention. Will the higher power answer his prayer?

How do I get rid of the blue bar that appears when sims are making objects like pottery or robots? I thought it was part of the skill bar and can be rid off by maxing out the skills but obviously it's not

Dear citizens of InSIMenator,
Meet Princess Estorelle from the Kingdom of Morguliath. She is young and ambitious. She also happened to be a sorceress. She might looks angelic, but you'll be sorry if you get in her way. Estorelle gets what Estorelle wants. Even if it seems impossible. She is also the main character from my movie Snow White Queen.

It's been a long time since I release a new video and it's finally here! A lot of work has been put on this movie I really hope you enjoy it. By the way, if possible please download the HiRes version instead of the youtube one. I know 138MB is quite big but the youtube version is blurry and the camera movements were jerky. I prefer you to watch it at its full glory Also Princess Estorelle is available for download here



Love, lust and everything in between…

“Precious cargo! Where does this ship hail from Kapitan?” asked  the dockworker perspiring in the sweltering heat of the Eastern Kingdoms. “We sailed from the land of Shadowvale” answered the sea worn Captain to the awe of everyone on the ground.  

Shadowvale was a land of prosperity. Everything seemed to prosper; people, cultures, flora and fauna, unlike nowhere else in the world.  Led by the formidable but highly respected Queen Vasaljee, Shadowvale was ahead of its time. Flanked by her son Prince Ulrik, it seemed like nothing can ever go wrong.

But from beneath the surface unbeknown by others, there was a kink in the chain that has been holding everything for so long. Once a link buckled, everything will never be the same again…

Is there any buyable butterlies/firelies or any hack that allow you to spawn them anywhere you want?

Or is there a way to make them come? It seems like they come and go randomly.

I had to reformat my pc, so I need to reinstall all my games. I have all 5 EPs. I installed everything up to OFB when after finish installing my pc froze. Usually after finish installing the cd will check for updates and when it's done the shortcup will appear on the desktop, but that step didn't happened. When I restart my pc, I tried to uninstall OFB but I can't. When I click uninstall, it just do nothing. I tried to get into the game and I am able to play it so I assume OFB was installed properly.

Then I continue installing Pets and Seasons. When I tried playing seasons, after getting into the neighbourhood I got something like this: "OFB is uninstalled. If you have any business, you won't be able to play it and all the stuff is no longer available" even though the game is still there on C drive.

So now, can I just reinstall OFB and will be able to play seasons? or do I have to uninstall Pets and Seasons, then reinstall OFB, then reinstall Pets and Seasons back?

TeeNagers! Portrays the lifestyle of different groups of teens. They are the nerds and geeks, the street punks, the rich kids, the vamp wannabe, and the fitness freaks. Throughout the video, members of My Chemical Romance have to deal with each groups resulting in unfavorable consequences.

After making two back to back video for sad depressing song, its time for me to lighten up. I know there are tons of Teenagers videos out there, but I love this song and I want to do a video for it. I promise this is not any other Teenagers video

I never wanted to do a video for a new song. I never expected this song to be released and by the time I knew MCR is releasing it, I was already done with the storyline, so I keep going instead of tanking it. The song is about gun violence but my version is simply for fun.

I havent make a band video is a really long time. I had really good time making this one. The satisfaction equals the one I felt when I made my very first video (even with no hack, no cc and plumbbob galore!). I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoy making it!

Can someone explain to me if .NET different versions are totally different thing or is later version is simply the upgrade of earlier version?

My situation is, I have .NET 1.1 for clean installer and .NET 2 (that comes with the cd) for my video editor. My video editor has error when installing (Microsoft SQL or is it QSL server problem) and only works for one day. I suspect it's the .NET problem because:

1) when I install the editor the first time, I didn't have .NET 1.1 and the editor worked. But I uninstall it because didn't need it (including .NET2) at that time
2) The second time I install, I have both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2. When I want to uninstall .NET 2, I have two option - to repair or to uninstall. I tried repair, but when I restart I still have the repair option, so I assume it's still have problem and my editor still won't install properly.

So, can both .NET 1.1 and .NET 2 co-exist and work independently, or can I only have either one?

Do you have  that hack for Seasons? I tried searching for it but only found the one for Pets which doesn't work with Seasons.
