    So, those are mindblowing are they?

    • cfuse

       Mind. Blowing.

  • Aaron Bockelie

    I’m tired of the recent resurgence animated gif files. Dealing with 8 bit fixed palette images should remain in the past, along with Autodesk Animator, LHA files, and possibly the PC-98. Where are my parachute pants and neon colors? Get off my lawn!

       I think you may have just dissed haiku

    • howaboutthisdangit

      Yeah.  Let’s ditch charcoal, pencil and paint while we’re at it.  It’s so old.

      It’s not just the medium, but also what you do with it that counts.

    So, GIF Creator is now a job title? My high school vocational counselor knew nothing!

  • Cowicide

    Does his website makes anyone else’s computer fan start blowing?

    • pdffs

      Yes.  Also, worst possible way to present GIF images with transparency, as they’re stacked on top of each other and images lower on the stack bleed through the current image.  Also, it glitched out a few images in and ended up stopping the animation with the current image massively zoomed so that a portion of it fills the entire screen, making it impossible to view the current image, or the next one properly.  Additionally, my mind is definitely intact.

      Incidentally, the glitch occurred on an animation of Batman masturbating his oversized pyramid-shaped penis, and the zoom factor made basically only the crotch area visible, so that’s…. something.

      • Cowicide

        Well, I’m not that angry about it. ^_^

        • pdffs

          Everything about that page is bad…. Everything I tell you.

  • Aaron Bockelie

    I’d also like to add, this guy’s animated gifs are mind blowing:

      These are awesome, thanks!

    • pdffs

      He just steals these out of computer games, right?  Otherwise they’re cool.

  • Ben_R_R

    I humbly submit the following as a truly mind blowing gif:

  • Tim Topple

    brilliant. And wow, a lot of cynicism over these parts.  Boo hoo your fan blows, waa waa you’ve seen giffs before, kill me it glitched a bit (kind of the point, no?), and my favourite: “Dealing with 8 bit fixed palette images should remain in the past”.  Or is this all The Onion of comments?

  • Terrence1

    These were very popular during the recent Mexican election, millions of people had them FWD in their email and on Facebook. Crazy.
