Because every time I take a screenshot and paste into Adobe it's just black, I think it might have to do with the directX encoding, but I'm not sure.

You should see it EDIT: Try not to link large images in posts, annoying to say the least. Attached Image (Click thumbnail to expand)

That's also why it can seem like the movie screen "lags" behind if you show it in windowed mode and drag the window around. And, erh, I haven't seen that movie. Maybe I will. A movie about math! Woohoo!

It's pretty much as useless as remembering the decimals of pi, but it would be easier to impress people because they don't necessarily even know the first digit. -------------------- \| Samurize DeviantArt Club \| Minimalicious edit \| Old Configs \|
