Yep thats Netsforce for ya, the guy is frickin amazing as far as graphics go.
Plus he's the funniest guy in Realgm.com and thats a fact!
I dunno, I think Rich Rane gets my vote with Netsforce a very close second and Jeff comin in at number three. All very close IMHO.
Onto the game. I have learn't not too expect anything from these boy's. Both games have been big blowouts. So I'll just sit back and watch the play by play on the net. Damn thats slow and frustrating.

Well you know there are alternetives to watching the game........Im not gonna say anything else about that due to the new policy this site has.,
Anyway those 2 games sucked for us because we lost VC in one of them and in the 2nd we didnt have him at all.
We must have VC tonight.

i use adobe photoshop cs2 btw
I use a combination of Adobe Photoshop 7.0 and Adobe Image Ready 7.0. Making animations in Image Ready is pretty simple stuff I don't have any tutorials written up at the moment but I'll show you how to do a simple animation real quick:
>>> Side Note: I wrote this short tutorial on making animated avatars in Image Ready before: http://gameprophets.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?t=26
But here's a quick animation tutorial:
1st Animation: Making a picture move across the screen.
Step 1: Set up the following image in Photoshop -->
Step 2: Go to the File Menu >>> Jump to >>> Adobe Image Ready (or just save the PSD file from Step 1 and open it in Adobe Image Ready, this is a shortcut I use that many people aren't aware of though)
Step 3: Locate the animation window in Image Ready, the other windows you should be familiar with since they're the same as the ones in Photoshop. Next locate the layers window. In the animation window click the new frame button.
Step 4: With Frame 2 selected and the white circle layer active move the white circle all the way to the other side of the screen.
Step 5: Next I'm going to show you another "trick" / feature that really makes your life A LOT easier, I wasn't aware of this when I first started making images in Image Ready and felt like a complete idiot because of it. Basically we're going to use Image Ready's "tween feature" which will fill in all of the animation frames between frame 1 and frame 2 so it looks like the circle is gradually moving from left to right.
So just click the tween button, tween with the previous frame, and use the number 10 as the number of frames to add.
Step 6: Go to File >>> Save optimized as >>> name the file whatever you want and make sure it's a .gif, and there you have it! A simple animation:
With a little more work (1. Creating a new frame after the last frame. 2. Positioning the white circle in the new last frame in same spot as it was in the first frame. 3. And hitting the tween button again), we get this simple looping animation without any skipping:
---
I'm short on time since I want to go watch the Nets game now but basically here's another really simple animation:
Start with the same base image as you did in the previous tutorial, open up image ready and create a new frame (frame 2). Reduce the opacity of the white circle in frame 2 to 0%, then hit tween, that's how you make an image fade in and out in Image Ready.
*I did this real quick so if something is unclear just post away and I'll try to explain things as best as I can. These are simple animations, but they're basically the two animations I use the most you can really do a lot with them it just all depends on how creative you are.
**I'd be happy to show you some more "flashy" looking animation tutorials later.
