I got myself a Magic 8-ball!

This is probably a bit different than what you were expecting, but it's late so I get some crazy ideas in my head at this hour.

I decided it'd be fun to use my own Magic 8-Ball image and add in whatever responces I damn well felt like adding. This of course requires a bit more webspace then I'd want to use for my main Geocities account, so it posed a bit of a problem.

So I got a second accound just for it.

I'll post images of a couple for now, and link to the rest as I make them. They're all in .txt format, so if you really want to see the de-inlined ones, I guess you can just hit the 'quote' button, cange the url tags into image tags, and hit the 'preview' button to see them.

This is my chance to let my blunt and sickly odd sense humor shine where it normally doesn't. Oh, and feel free to use any of these for any time you want a 12k image as a responce.

Got a few more I ought to add, then leave the rest up to dressed links:

Wow, either I'm really delusional from sleep deprivation, or this is one damn fine idea of mine. Build up a large enough database of them, and I may have an Eight-ball responce for every occasion. I may never have to post anything other than an image link again. Ok, that I'm joking about. Time for sleey-time.

I like it, although you could add a little more glow to the triangle's sides for more realism, IIRC...

Hah, a certain Milhouse Simpsons episode was on yesterday.

Good pics, but "response" in the last one has another "s" in, not a "c". Unlike "defence" and "defense", there are no two spellings.

Fixed within 5 minutes. Gotta love photoshop.

Oh, and that basically is how the dodecahedron inside the ball looks like. I looked over several pics before I decided just to draw my own.

Perhaps they should make an actual 8-ball like that as a prank on someone else, unless, of course, there's a copyright on the concept of shaking a black ball to get an answer to a question.

Did you make the 8-ball from scratch?

I aksed it that question, but all I got was:

*Asks again*

I'll take that as a 'yes' untill it gets more responses.

Right now, all it has other than "Goddamn, you are so stupid" is:
