So, I just found out how to make animated GIFs. I find looping scenes from games to be funny, so I made some myself. http://www.rphaven.org/cad/boring.gif -The most boring part of Boulder Dash. I was going to make this my avatar, but it's too big. http://www.rphaven.org/cad/megabrain.gif -Mega Brain from NES Widget, illustrating just how weird this game is. Unfortunately, you never get to see this in the run I submitted. http://www.rphaven.org/cad/monstersdance.gif -This one took some effort to make, but I think it came out fairly amusing. Although I did screw up the slime. Oops. I'd like to see some that other people have made.

My favourite Mega Brain quotes: "Hey! Have you found all the items?" "Hoo! Hoo! Wasting your MP is not a smart move!" and, of course, my favourite, "Do be do be do be do be do be do be do!"

Did you find any good FAQs or guides that explained making those GIFs? I want to learn how to do that.

For me: Capture to (lossless) avi, import to Animation Shop, crop and optimize. Easy peasy. It's how I made these.
I like my "thank you"s in monetary form.

Don't forget "Hey! That's not the right map!"

That's not a game GIF! :P I had another idea for one, but I didn't have the patience to import AVIs and crop them and stuff. * Scene of playing SMB1. Mario jumps into a pit. Screen freezes for a second. * Mario is seen falling down an endless pit. He shifts around a bit, then says "..." and just continues to fall * Cut to a Teen Girl Squad character saying "When you fall in a bottomless pit, you die of starvation."

What's this image from? It was used in the OVER 9000 video, but I haven't seen it otherwise?

What he said. I made a topic for it suggesting a TAS, despite being a rhythm game. Be fun for a concept demo anyway.

Bisqwit said he found it distracting/annoying, almost to the point of removal. I went ahead and removed it.

Pac 'n Pal. (So is the dancing Blinky, IIRC. :p) Some I made a while ago: From a Mario-styled Circus Charlie hack by some Japanese guy. Ripped out of MAME screenshots, then looped. INFINITE POOKA TORTURE FUN! :D Many small, non-descript, square-shaped adventurers were sacrificed to make this one. Or something. :p

I used the MAME tile viewer to get the sprites, Paint Shop Pro 8 to tweak them, and Animation Shop 3 to actually make the GIFs. Though recently I've been getting sprites (for spritesheets) using a little program called AnimGet. And here's a little something I made recently for a laugh: Greylo 3 (960kb)
