Sorry for the processing time once again but it should be ready within the hour. I answer questions from @JardyB10, @Molholt, and @ADwyer87 and fight with technical difficulties.

Still looking for more, recording in ~2 hours. @ADwyer87, I'm like king at you specifically

Any questions are good questions, even if they are few. Besides, a few of year will take some time to answer.

Just got the surprise prepped (don't worry, it involves no dogs) so I should be good to go for a very special episode of the CoDCast. You don't want to miss this one so get your questions in now.

Apparently I never tag @JardyB10, let's fix that. Maybe he'll give me some questions as thanks for that sexy sig. P.S my phone tried to autocorrect sig to dog, that would have been awkward.

So...many...shots

The CoDCast returns this week; and with an extra surprise this time! Get your questions in now! @eaglesfan036 @Shaka @ADwyer87 @boom @der meister @Victor @YEAH!stlemania @Phil @tfong @ChrisF @George Costanza @Molholt @Mr. Power @Draper @Banackock @gorlab

There are very few that can pull off a clean sig quite as well as you can and this really exemplifies that fact. I'm not sure if the BG is a stock or custom built but I want it, the lighting and colours are perfect (aside from the actual white light above his head, based on the light on his face that should be on the other side). The text, while simple, really works well. Really well done.

With all the little lighting dots floating around I would like to see the face be a little brighter but that's not really a major complaint. Colours and contrast work really well and the text is very creative and fits the overall theme very nicely. Blending is also spot on. I think if the lighting were fixed up a tad this would really pop.

I like the idea you're going for here but it feels like I'm looking at 3 different sigs. The left side doesn't match anything (and is very bland), the render effects and right side are solid but then he text and scan lines don't really fit either. I think your effect work is quite on point but you need to play with some exposure a bit and get everything blended neatly together so that it has some flow. The left side completely needs to be re-worked as is unfortunately, I don't think there is saving that when it's a giant yellow blob that doesn't match the rest.

Render is over blended or just messed with too much as it is barely there at all, lighting isn't great, exposure is way under so everything just feels washed out; text doesn't match anything. Unfortunately the stock work, which isn't really great in itself, is probably the best part of this. I know you are an MS guy which is why this isn't really that great but you need to really practice the basics of what makes a good sig.

Scan lines are WAY too strong! Scan lines can be used to good effect sometimes but they need to be used sparingly. Covering the entire piece in them just makes it kinda hard on the eyes. Blending is simple but solid enough and I don't know if you re-coloured the render to match the BG but if you didn't then it matches perfectly on it's own. Text is the real star here though. Font choice, positioning, effects, it all looks spot on.

I can see the idea you were trying to go for here but unfortunately it came out very messy. The colours don't work great, the stocks feel a little random, the render is over-sharp. The text is okay style wise but a little bit hard to read so it could be better. Overall that last sentiment seems to fit everything. It's okay but it could be better. Blending stuff and fixing the lighting would have greatly improved this.

What am I even looking at? This doesn't give the answers, just who gave what questions???

What is with me against Davos? I seem to either get a shutout or play terribly. GG Davos.

You don't have the button that is highlighted? If not, which is certainly odd, we can do it manually. If you have the source button (I don't for some reason, @Draper wtf) then you should be able to manually type the code in that Dwyer suggested. Edit: I just went and checked, those buttons are in fact not present in the signature settings anymore? They definitely used to be. I just tested and I cannot type the code manually but it should work if you can access the source view. I just can't for some reason. Try copying someone's signature that has it centred (use mine if you want) and pasting that into your signature. It should keep the formatting. Then just replace the image(s). It should function although it's a workaround for sure. Edit 2: Alternatively, and easier, go old school BBCode with it! Apparently it still works, it's just hidden now. [center]IMAGE HERE[/center] That code should centre anything that falls between the two tags, images included. Pasting an image link in should automatically change over to the image itself and the tags will center it. Just make sure not to tell the forum to display the link as a link instead of an image. If you do that it will just display a centred link. I would just type out the two things of code and then drop everything into them. Alternatively, at least for now since I'll save you some time, just copy and paste this. The centre tag should still be present. Player || Updates

You're lucky that Orange worked as a colour replacement better than dark red or else I would have taken it myself haha. Glad you like it though.

As I explained in the PT section, with the long weekend I didn't have time for a podcast. In fact, I'm not even going to have time at home for photoshop time so I had to make this at work without any of my usual stocks or fonts. Not exactly the easiest situation when you've been away from GFX for so long I dare so. I actually think worked decently well all things considered. Thoughts? Here's the Original Image BTW

REVIEW Your music still sucks I request some heavy metal for #10 Good, sit on the floor like a peasant so that I, in my comfy chair, don't have to hear the mice humping. I told you, stop getting TPE. God dammit. I don't understand how I started with so much more than you and you've still caught up. Maybe I need to donate again haha. Us old folks need to feel like our contributions ages ago did something so leave our things alone "Keep expectations low" the motto for anyone dating @ADwyer87 You'll be beating me with our second players probably. No way I have time for 2 PT's a week so 1 will likely be welfare. At least my welfare is 4 TPE though. The TCBL folded? I had stopped paying attention. Kinda felt it coming a month ago. Never underestimate the power of Phil Light your foot on fire, it'll stop the itching. Don't ask how I know that. Long walks in the park would involve going outside so that just won't do. You say a lot of things that could be used against you if someone edited your podcasts...not that anyone would do such a thing *innocent whistle* All those classes sound awful. Sad Dwyer makes me regret comment #5 Scotch tastes delicious you uncultured swine. Your wording while discussing GTA makes me regret reviewing this at work haha I think that was the sim where I had my stroke apparently... In I think Podcast 7 you claimed that NY would be interesting to watch as potentially the third team in NA Psh, screw your logic #FuckGow? Writing stuff down is probably better than most who just copy one that makes sense haha I really wasn’t expecting you to go through every one of your predictions but alright haha. Robbie winning most Sportsmanlike would be hilarious. Didn’t pick me for most improved: jerk. That’s my only award chance! Supposed to be good doesn’t mean I won’t be improved. I played bad, if I play well that’s improvement! Fuck your logical reasoning! You’re GMing in the VHLM, next step is clearly the NHL. Lies, fuck math. The only numbers I care about are frames per second and timecode. Everyone needs to come to Seattle; simple as that.

Davos 4-2

It was usually only 1 capped point per week which was for answering the main question correctly. Answering the bonus question correctly simply got you an extra leaderboard point.

Well the question did include parental income for people who live at home so maybe our younger users have rich parents? Or at least they think they do.
