I sure can, and i can say it with Capital letters as well: "SEXY!"
This must be the most fun journal on gamedev.net - and i am sure that the game will be fun as well. Now, back to my minigolf-game... ;)
BTW, i sent you a mail some time back(Maybe two weeks ago), wanting to sign up for Beta. Could you add me to the list? my mail is

Those last three stylized pictures should be box art or something. Very cool effect. I also find the cop in the one screen hilarious. "You're only making things harder for yourself" while being unloaded on by a SMG. I'd be running for cover and yelling "Oh S***." Guess that's why I don't plan to be a police officer.
On a sidenote, Dan: viewing your homepage in Firefox, the left side nav bar drops to the bottom or middle of the page from the top. Works fine in IE tho.
Yeaaaa I like the way those last images look...Right now they're set as the desktops on all my computers :-0 Gang War everywhere.
Gald you guys like the way the game's looking...it's already a lot of fun to play (to me at least). Hopefully I'll be able to pull this game off the way I see it in my head...we'll see :-)
Anlino - I'll certainly add you on the beta testing list, sorry for not responding to your e-mail...sometimes I get swamped with stuff to do, and e-mails are at the bottom of the list.
mcguile25 - Thanks for the heads up, I've noticed this before but I thought it was because of the Google Ads I had on my site for a few days. I have no idea what could be causing that to happen...if anybody who's more webpage savvy could shed some light on that I'd appreciate it :-)
Maybe a bit dumb and off-topic question here, but well, it just popped up:
How do you attach weapons to the character? Is there a smart way to make that easier in 3ds max? I did it (using milkshape) in this way: I had a joint in the hand of the character and a joint in the weapon and bound those joints together in-game. But then there were still some undesired ways the hand-joint could rotate, so I had to add some other joints to the hand joint in order fully control the hand joint (and thus the weapon position) in all directions and ended up with a freaky hacked bone structure.
I didn't really like my way, and I guess that there is a smarter way. If the answer is too complicated I could maybe better ask this on the forums though... thanks :)
I was asking myself: "What the hell is he doing, Why do he don't update this journal.?" But i know, looking to your guns, where you have been. Very good stuff! :D
EDIT: I also see a van in the first picture that want to take off ;)
