So yeah, as you can see from Slade and I, we have an Xbox Empire flag.

If anyone else wants to use it, I'll be creating an easy step by step guide.

Firstly, this was designed for pictures that are at least 200 pixels wide. If lower use at own risk :P

We'll be using a free online program that requires no downloads or anything! (thanks AlphaOmegasin for telling me about this, been using it ever since!)

Step oneGo to Pixlr

http://apps.pixlr.com/editor/

Step two: If your avatar is saved on your computer click "open image from computer" , if not you can use the url and click "open image from URL"

Step Three: Once your image is uploaded head over to the "image" tab and click "image size". If the width is greater than 200, downsize it to 200 pixels. Make sure to have constrained Proportions on.

200 pixels is the width size VGCharts uses on the profiles, 140 on forums. So to make sure we have a nice clear image for both we're going to need that width. As I mentioned earlier, less than 200 px isn't going to work perfectly with this flag because it's designed for 200px.

Step four: Click the "layer" tab and click on "Open image URL as layer"

Paste this URL http://i.imgur.com/0DuQHSq.png

Alternatively you can save the flag and click "Open Image as layer"

Step five: Click the "V" key on your keyboard or click on the "move tool" that is located in the upper left hand corner of the "tools" box on the left.

Position flag as desired

Step Six: Go to the "layer" tab again and click "flatten image"

Step seven: Click on the file tab and then click "save.." or CTRL + S

Personally I think PNG works really well but JPEG isn't a bad choice.

And well that's it, takes about 1 minute once you know what to do, any questions just ask me.


THat is awesome xD  Will be adding to the front page

Not exactly Xbox related, but on the mobile side of gaming Candy Crush Saga and Minecraft: Pocket Edition are now available on Windows Phone. MS is also having a 12 days of deals sale on Windows Phone games right now, the most notable games on sale today are ilomilo for $2.49 and Pacman CE DX for $3.49.


I saw Minecraft was available yesterday.  Guess now that MSFT owns it it can finally be on it.  Ilomilo is great btw for those who havent played it.  




       

Juicy...So hyped for this! Glad it's next gen only too.

Really happy to hear Team SWAT is on the MCC playlist!! I was a pro at it on Halo: Reach. I have a big test tomorrow morning but after that I'll be free to play my Xbone in peace until after the new year...can't wait!



Ahh, never played the Just Cause games. My friend loves them though. If i got one id prob pick it up for PC though. Just feels like a good PC game to me
