For the unitiated, Ragdolls refer to "ragdoll physics" employed by CoH devs to send our mobs flying into some very entertaining positions once they're defeated.

Here I have recorded for posteritly a few of my favorites.

Enjoy!

TRP - what do you use to take your screen shots?

I take my screenshots like everyone else I guess, with my computer.    I will return to this post this evening and add a line of geek speak (once I get it from my husband) regarding the make-up of my computer.

 EDIT: Here are my computer stats regarding graphics: MS Office Pro 2003 Picture Manager; NVidia GEForce 7800 GS; 1600 x 900 Pixels; 32 Bit Color Quality

But I jack up the graphics (in-game) if I know I'm going to be doing it, which was the case for the first shot --- though for different reasons.  The other two shots were taken long ago by much older computers/video cards, etc. (perhaps even before we see these mobs decked out like we do today). However, I enjoy editing my screenies. I import them into my MS Office Picture Manager for some cropping and lighting changes, usually to tweak gamma. If its a real favorite I will send it on to Photobucket for additional ornamentation, such as these fade-to-black-frames.

One thing I've noticed when I post screenies on the web is that they always seem to come out darker than I see them in their original form. So if I know I am going to post them on the web, I will make use of Photobucket's  sharpen/soften feature under the 'Beautify' tab and sharpen up the pic a bit. Sharpening the dark colors for some reason seems to do the trick most of the time.

what?  

soooooooooo, you hit print screen and then pasted them into a blank 'ms office pro 2003 picture manager' document and edited/saved them from there?  and then you further modify them on photobucket.com?

What Damian7 said is more what I meant, TRP. Do you just use the Print Screen button on the keyboard? Or do you use some other image capture program (i.e.: PrintKey)?
